192: Soul-Searching Demon King, The Secret of the Demon Emperor

Chu He's finger lightly tapped on Shadow Devil King's forehead.

The majestic Divine Soul power of the Middle Stage Integration Realm, like an indestructible sharp sword, instantly pierced through the opponent's final Sea of Consciousness defense.

Shadow Devil King's vast and mottled memories, like a grand scroll spanning hundreds of thousands of years, slowly unfolded before Chu He.

Scene after scene flashed by.

From his birth in the "Abyss of Shadows" of the Demon Realm, to his path of slaughter, finally standing out in the bloody trials and being favored by the Devil Emperor, granted the title of Devil King... from the destruction and devouring of flourishing civilizations he participated in, to the strict Ranks within the Star-Devouring Demon Clan, and the schemes between the various Devil Kings... massive amounts of information were efficiently filtered and extracted by Chu He.

Soon, Chu He found the part he was most interested in.

——About the Star-Devouring Demon Emperor!

The scene shifted to a Demon Hall that words could not describe.

The Demon Hall was built upon the core of a completely dead Universe, surrounded by endless Guixu and Chaos.

On the throne of the Demon Hall sat a terrifying figure wrapped in the endless law of destruction and Finality Devilish Qi.

Simply by sitting there, he caused the surrounding space-time to constantly distort and collapse, as if the entire Universe were wailing and fearing his existence.

He was the Star-Devouring Demon Emperor!

However, Chu He keenly discovered that nine golden chains condensed from the purest "Law of Creation" were wound around the Devil Emperor's demonic body!

These nine chains were tightly bound into his demonic soul Origin; they were the ultimate Seal laid down by the last generation of the Ancient Dragon God at the cost of his life before he fell!

It was these nine chains that firmly trapped the Devil Emperor within this Guixu Demon Palace, preventing his true body from descending upon the myriad heavens.

"The Seal... as expected, it hasn't been completely undone." Chu He understood in his heart.

The scenes continued.

He saw that in order to break free from the Seal, the Devil Emperor was executing an incredibly grand plan.

He ordered the Devil Kings under his command to search for worlds throughout the Universe containing "World Origin" or "special Bloodlines" and then devour them.

For every world devoured, he could absorb a sliver of power from the "Finality Power" generated when that world moved toward destruction, using it to weaken and corrode those nine Law of Creation chains.

After countless eons of effort, eight of the chains had already become dim and dull, covered in cracks, clearly on the verge of collapse.

Only the most central one, the one directly locking his demonic soul Origin, remained golden and brilliant, indestructible.

"As long as I devour one more... world containing a High-level Creation Origin, I can completely break free from these damned shackles!"

The Devil Emperor's will, filled with tyranny and longing, echoed in Shadow Devil King's memories.

And this "world containing a High-level Creation Origin" referred exactly to the Xuanhuang Realm!

More accurately, it was Chu He, who possessed the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline, and the entire Chu Family he had propagated!

"So that's how it is. I, or rather our Chu Family, am the final 'key' for him to escape." Chu He's eyes were cold.

He continued to probe deeper, wanting to find the Devil Emperor's weakness.

However, in Shadow Devil King's memories, information regarding the Devil Emperor's weaknesses was pitifully scarce.

In the perception of all Devil Kings, the Devil Emperor was invincible and unbeatable.

The only "weakness" was perhaps those nine sealing chains.

As long as the Seal remained, his true body could not leave the Guixu Demon Palace. The power he could exert was only a partial projection.

"A projection, huh..." Chu He mused.

Just then, a new piece of information caught his attention.

Deep within Shadow Devil King's memories, there was a fragment that he himself had classified as taboo.

It was a fragment about a "prophecy."

This prophecy came from a "Heavenly Secret Demon Crone" within the Star-Devouring Demon Clan who had lived for countless eons and specialized in deducing heavenly secrets.

The content of the prophecy was:

"When the fire of creation is rekindled, when the Son of Chaos descends into the world, the finality of destruction is also the beginning of new life. Upon the imperial throne, a new master shall be welcomed..."

This prophecy was an absolute taboo among the upper echelons of the Demon Race.

Because it shook the Foundation of the Devil Emperor's rule.

Shadow Devil King had only glimpsed this secret by a stroke of luck.

"fire of creation... Son of Chaos..." Chu He's gaze couldn't help but turn toward his Eldest Son, Chu Tian, in the Starry Sky Divine City.

He, wasn't he a living "Son of Chaos"?

And he himself, as the Host of the System and the successor of the Ancient Dragon God, wasn't he that "rekindled fire of creation"?

"Upon the imperial throne, a new master shall be welcomed..."

The corners of Chu He's mouth slowly curled up, forming a domineering and peerless arc.

"I like this prophecy."
