"Human Clan? Human Clan? You think you re humans are worthy?!"
When people are extrely angry, they often feel like laughing from the heart, and demons can be the sa.
At this mont, for She Li, the Big Monster, it was exactly like that.
He listened to the absurd answer given by Su Chengyu, unable to think of any reasonable explanation, but he understood it as fact.
It’s not about the cause, but the cause lies beyond his understanding.
This lynx’s real na is She Li, and in this world dominated by the Demon Clan, she is definitely not soone with extraordinary talent or supernatural abilities.
To climb to the position of a Martial God in this purely survival-of-the-fittest world, he relied on his innate sharpness and his extrely cautious nature since childhood.
He had witnessed a Demon God fall in front of him and had, when he was still weak, often chosen to bypass tempting opportunities.
He only took what he could safely take away, even if it ant returning empty-handed.
This ti, facing the opportunity at this place, he proceeded cautiously step by step as well.
Tracing it back, he discovered the special nature of this place, tied to an incident decades ago.
At that ti, before he was even a Demon Emperor, he witnessed a Demon God die before his very eyes.
That day the heavens changed color, the sun and moon lost their light; even today he cannot fully comprehend that scene, which remains unforgettable.
His natural caution prevented him from acting rashly right after the Demon God’s fall.
As expected, those from the Demon Clan who could not resist taking action were all wiped out by the one who slew the Demon God, leaving none alive.
Then he watched as the huge Demon God’s skeleton in front of him was thoroughly refined by the other, from skin to bone, from tendons to bloodstream, leaving not a trace of the Demon Core behind.
The breathtaking thods left him shocked and unable to fathom how the other accomplished such feats, surpassing a Demon Clan mber’s limits of understanding.
Afterward, She Li kept still without revealing any life signs, waiting until the other had completely left.
After much hesitation, She Li followed in the direction the other departed.
He then discovered this place, finding traces left by that person in a tribe inhabited solely by lesser-lifeform humans.
Then ca years of dormancy, until confirming that the individual would not return and his own power had risen to a level of self-defense as a Demon Emperor; he finally began to act around the vicinity.
First, he found an evidently human-made totem nearby with an unmistakably familiar aura connected to the one who previously vanquished the Demon God.
As a Demon Clan mber, She Li imdiately sensed that beneath this totem lay a massive opportunity capable of catapulting him to a Demon God’s status.
Faced with this enormous temptation, She Li finally stopped hiding in the shadows, rounding up the humans connected with the totem.
Every month, he would take a few humans from She Li’s hold, never to satisfy any so-called hunger.
The purpose was solely to understand the connection between these inferior humans and the totem.
Yet without understanding what the Power of Faith entails, no matter the research or effort, he couldn’t see through the link between the two.
It wasn’t until the arrival of Su Chengyu that this deadlock was broken.
"Humans? It’s really humans? Although I sensed a connection between this place and those lower lifeforms and had speculated, I never imagined that individual who slew the Demon God was actually a human. No wonder, it’s not in vain that I have been so cautious, never taking direct action against you."
She Li spoke frantically, with a mocking tone in his voice, which made Su Chengyu feel strangely uneasy.
"What are you talking about?"
"Hmph."
She Li snorted coldly, finally turning his gaze back to Su Chengyu. Watching the seemingly invigorated Su Chengyu, he sneered.
"Perhaps you are not exaggerating; it chose you precisely because you are human. But even if you’re human, you’re not that person."
"Which person? Who exactly are you talking about!"
Su Chengyu’s words quickened with suppressed urgency, and Su Zhedian’s na drew up to his lips, but out of caution, he never voiced it directly.
"You don’t need to know, just like I don’t know why it would choose to join hands with you and not fall into my hands either. All you need to know, whether human or demon, is that fists are the only reason!"
Bang!
With the end of his words, She Li’s figure suddenly disappeared from sight, his enormous mountain-like form flashed before Su Chengyu and vanished completely from Su Chengyu’s perception.
Even beyond his vision, Su Chengyu’s divine sense failed to capture even a trace of the fellow.
"Behind you!"
As Su Chengyu realized, the voice of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core almost simultaneously echoed in his mind.
Instinctively turning to resist with the Wasteland Battle Halberd, at the mont of impact, Su Chengyu felt a powerful force passing through the halberd directly assaulting his internal organs.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud sound of air exploding, Su Chengyu’s form shot out like a cannonball into the distance.
In the sky, a massive golden orb ford, filled with a power Su Chengyu found both familiar and alien, locking onto his figure in a downward trajectory.
"Can you handle this, you guy!"
Face-to-face with this celestial attack filled with the Power of the Heavenly Dao, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core beca evidently anxious.
It knew that falling into Su Chengyu’s hands might not lead to a positive outco, but falling into the hands of the Demon Clan ant it would surely be completely refined by the opponent’s innate divine ability, naturally concerned with Su Chengyu’s current condition.
"Shut up! I don’t believe it, just wait there and die!"
Su Chengyu certainly understood this point at the mont.
Even though he hadn’t determined which of the seven powers of the Heavenly Dao the force belonged to, Su Chengyu could definitely identify the nearly rule-like power emanating from it.
In his current state, even if he used the Thunder Resistant Body to withstand the blow, should the external and his internal power of the Heavenly Dao clash, he wouldn’t need the Demon Emperor to act; Su Cheng would face a dead-end.
Su Chengyu grasped the Dragon Slayer tightly, breathing steadily, and again attempted to channel the power of the Heavenly Dao within.
He understood the imnse risk in doing so, but with an impending strike of the Heavenly Dao, Su Chengyu simply had no other choice.
"Sigh, how interesting. You have garnered the favor of several types of Heavenly Dao power. Why not choose just one? With these Heavenly Dao breathes settling in their corners within you, at this rate, you’ll end up on a dead-end road without anyone lifting a finger."
"Such nonsense! If you have energy to spare, help suppress it!"
Su Chengyu replied coldly, increasingly impatient with the intruding chatterbox.
Only now did Su Chengyu realize that compared to this presence beside him, the incessant chatter from the Heaven-nding Stone was a delightful lody in contrast.
