314: The Demon King's First Battle

"Really?" Chen De asked, his eyes wide in disbelief.

Xuan Lian nodded, affirming, "Of course. Actually, I never advocate judging superiority by bloodline. When someone dies, aren't they all the same?

Asking about your race, brother, was merely to understand you better. Please don't overthink it."

"Yay!" Chen De jumped up happily, then hesitated, "Then I can tell you?"

Xuan Lian waved his hand, giving a thumbs up, indicating it was fine and Chen De could speak freely.

Chen De's face held a hint of shyness. "Um, I am from the Benevolent Holy Mother Beast race."

Benevolent Holy Mother Beast? What kind of race is that? I've never heard of it.

Benevolent... Holy Mother... and Beast!

Hearing Chen De's fabricated race name, Xuan Lian forced a smile. "Brother, are you perhaps joking?"

Chen De blinked his pure, innocent eyes and said seriously, "No, I'm not lying to you. I really am a Holy Mother.

Don't you feel my all-encompassing, gentle, omnipresent kindness, like the ocean?"

Xuan Lian said nothing, only sneered with two cold laughs.

Chen De was about to continue speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by an angry roar.

"I can't take it anymore!"

"As the seventeen-time palace intrigue champion of my clan, I've had enough of your clumsy and awkward acting."

"It's too fake, too fake! Can you act even faker? I'm practically gagging!"

Teng Yang clutched his head, complaining bitterly with a pained expression.

He then turned his head to Xuan Lian, urging,

"Xuan Lian, if someone can choose such a secluded place to break through, what major clan could they possibly be from?"

"For those clans we can't afford to provoke, which one doesn't make thorough preparations within their clan, with elders protecting them, when breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm?"

"Most likely, he's some fellow who popped out of some obscure corner and came here to break through."

"How many times have we done this? Don't you have any idea?"

Listening to Teng Yang's words, the smile on Xuan Lian's face slowly vanished, and he said helplessly, "Then let's do it. You're always so impatient."

Teng Yang heard what Xuan Lian said, and his tone held a hint of grievance. "I'm impatient? Do you know how bad his acting is? And you say I'm impatient.

If you had half my skill, you'd be dying to tear him to pieces right now."

Xuan Lian was also a bit overwhelmed by Teng Yang's relentless barrage. "Stop talking, stop talking! Just do it!"

At this moment, the smile on Chen De's face also froze. He stiffly turned his neck towards Teng Yang, saying in disbelief, "You said I was acting?"

Teng Yang sneered, "Not only were you acting, but you were also terrible at it. Prepare to die!"

As soon as he spoke, Xuan Lian, who was behind Chen De, suddenly attacked Chen De.

They had done such things many times, mostly targeting those who had just broken through to the Demon Emperor Realm and were not yet familiar with the realm.

Moreover, before making a move, they would always converse with the other party to probe their background.

Even if they failed in the end, it didn't matter. They were both at the first level of the Demon Emperor Realm, and 'I' had more experience than 'you'.

Even if they failed, they could still escape.

However, in most cases, it was the other party who fled.

As for retaliation after escaping, the two of them weren't worried at all.

In this day and age, who uses their real name, real surname, and real race when they go out? Even their appearance can be disguised.

As long as they didn't reveal their true form during battle, there would be no problem.

At that time, they could hide away, and even if they met face to face someday, they might not be recognized.

However, after Xuan Lian approached Chen De within a certain distance, his speed strangely slowed down.

Even the expression on his face became incredibly sluggish.

Although his body was hindered, the thoughts in his mind flowed as smoothly as ever.

"This is... the Law of Space..."

A look of shock appeared in Xuan Lian's eyes.

Don't be fooled into thinking that all Demon Domain Realm cultivators can control spatial power; the Law of Space is completely different.

In the face of the Law of Space, any spatial power would be greatly diminished, with less than one-tenth of its original power remaining.

Besides this, it had many other incredibly strange uses.

No matter where, the Law of Space was an extremely rare existence.

Only the Heavenly Revelation Demonic Spider and Eternal Erosion World Starwhale races could spontaneously awaken the Law of Space upon breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm.

Apart from them, perhaps only one percent of the Demon Emperor-level existences in the Four Profound Heavens had comprehended the Law of Space.

Moreover, the other party had not only comprehended the Law of Space, but his domain was incredibly stable, almost impossibly so.

Let alone a mere first-level Demon Emperor like him, even a second-level one wouldn't easily break it.

Within this domain, his own domain was suppressed to an absurd degree, almost unable to separate from his physical body.

Where did this monster come from?

He's so strong right after breaking through!

Chen De slapped Xuan Lian across the face, slowly sending him flying.

Now Xuan Lian realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Within Chen De's domain, even if he pushed backward, Chen De could use spatial power to pull him back.

The space that had just been sealed by Chen De was instantly transformed into a counter-seal by Chen De.

On the other side, Teng Yang also felt that the situation was somewhat amiss and immediately planned to abandon Xuan Lian and escape himself.

Unfortunately, Chen De's main target this time was him; he wouldn't let him escape even if Xuan Lian did.

As soon as his foot took a step, Chen De's hand was already on his neck.

Spicy!

Feeling the cold touch and the strong smell of blood, it was clear how many had been killed.

Gulp!

Teng Yang swallowed, then slowly turned his head, trying his best to smile genuinely, and chuckled, "Um, I said, what I said just now was actually just a joke, do you believe me?"

Heh!

Chen De said nothing, only tightened his grip, twisting Teng Yang's head 1080 degrees before stopping.

Then, Chen De grabbed Teng Yang's head and began to soul-search him.

Because his neck had been twisted three times, Teng Yang couldn't even scream now.

Chen De also didn't let Xuan Lian go; he held him in his other hand.

Both demons were soul-searched simultaneously.

To avoid wasting too much time, Chen De quickly scanned their souls and finished.

Interestingly, neither of these guys' names nor their races matched up.

The one named Xuan Lian's real name was Chi Jiao, and he was a Crimson Serpent Golden-Eyed Tiger.

The one named Teng Yang's real name was Chang Xuan, and he was an Earth Breath Unicorn.

These two guys, at the Demon Emperor Realm, were involved in petty, underhanded activities.

However, there was nothing they could do; their racial potential was essentially exhausted after reaching this stage.

To make further progress, they could only rely on a large accumulation of resources.

In this regard, these weaker bloodline demon beasts actually had an advantage over those with powerful bloodlines.

The stronger the bloodline of a demon beast, the harder it was to advance further once its bloodline potential was exhausted.

For them to acquire resources, plunder was clearly the fastest method.

And by carefully selecting their targets, the safety factor was unusually high.

Unfortunately, such sinful behavior was destined to be completely ended upon encountering Chen De.
