Chapter 998: Overlord

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“You despicable, shameless thief! Put the Heaven Extermination Plate down now!” Demon God Messiah’s voice was ice-cold, and it seemed to freeze the soul.

Frost spread to the surroundings, causing the Demon Masters to begin fleeing.

As for the Demon Generals, those with poor judgment and standing too close were already dead.

“Well… that’s impossible!” Fang Yuan’s eyes narrowed. “Let me ask you, is this an overlord battle now? If not, I’ll be leaving first!”

Messiah’s footsteps halted.

She sensed Fang Yuan’s unfathomable depths. He had a strength that was not inferior to hers. If he truly wanted to run away, she would not be able to obtain anything.

“Even though an overlord battle is complicated, the most important thing is for the overlord to agree to it!”

Therefore, she stopped. However, the words that came from under her mask were as cold as ice. “I’ll bet my position as the Black Flame Overlord for the Heaven Extermination Plate in your hands!”

In the past, she had used irresistible treasures and resources to entice Demon God Black Flame into accepting the overlord battle.

And now, this was the only thing she could do.

“The position of overlord? That’s not enough…” Fang Yuan tossed the disc in his hand. “I’m also very interested in its origin. If you tell me, I’ll fight!”

“You wouldn’t want to know…” Messiah’s expression seemed strange. “That used to belong to a powerful Demon God, far stronger than me!”

“What?” Demon Master Li Gou was shocked, his expression complicated as he looked at the Heaven Extermination Plate.

“Stronger than Myriad Transformations… means a Netherheaven Demon God. Any one of them could ruin Black Flame Territory just by showing up!”

The Demon Masters gasped repeatedly. At the same time, they could not hold back their greed.

Unfortunately, they also understood that this strange item was not something they could covet.

“So… just Netherheaven?” Fang Yuan nodded. “It turns out you only know this much. What a pity…”

“Just… Netherheaven?” Messiah stepped back, feeling a sudden ominous premonition. “No… impossible. He can’t be!”

However, she was still a Demon God after all, and her heart was as cold as thousand-year ice. Matters that she had decided on would not change so easily.

“Moon Great Dao! Moon Amalgamation!”

Light sprinkled down continuously, and an extreme chill spread, freezing everything in its path.

Whoosh!

A layer of ice condensed on Fang Yuan.

“Now, hand the Heaven Extermination Plate over! It’s not too late!”

The ice dragon roared. Messiah advanced slowly and extended her palm.

Below his neck, Fang Yuan looked like an ice sculpture. But he did not care and asked curiously, “Speaking of which, what’s the name of the Demon God behind you?”

“You’re not worthy of knowing!” Messiah’s gaze turned cold as she slammed her palm down.

Roar Roar!

The ice dragon roared and reached out with its claw!

“Truly regretful!”

Fang Yuan sighed. All of a sudden, the ice on his body started to melt.

Crack!

A loud, crunching sound echoed.

Soon after, the ice dragon, moonlight, and snow disappeared, as if everything that had happened earlier was merely an illusion.

“This is… the power of the Heaven Extermination Plate!”

During her exclamation, Messiah backed away quickly. But she realized something was different. “No! This isn’t obliteration but… devouring?”

“That’s right! I’ll accept the power of your Great Dao for myself now!”

Fang Yuan held out his left hand.

In his palm, a shard of ice appeared. There was a full moon floating inside.

He opened his mouth wide and directly swallowed it.

“What?” Seeing this, the Demon Masters gasped in shock.

“Directly… he directly devoured the power of a Great Dao…” Demon Master Li Gou’s body slumped, as if he were a doll. “H-he’s not just a Demon God. He’s a Netherheaven Demon God!”

Netherheaven Demon God!

In the Mental Demon Realm, he was a bigshot, the top of the food chain, and could even hunt other Demon Gods!

Although they were both Demon Gods, he was on a completely different level!

“I can’t believe he’s at Netherheaven!” Messiah felt despair.

She clearly understood the difference between them. Even if she perfected her Moon Great Dao further, she still would not be a match for a Dark Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, even if they continued to fight, she would very likely become nourishment for him.

“I… I admit defeat!” With that, she turned into snowflakes and disappeared immediately.

“All hail the overlord!”

“All hail the Demon God!”

Demon Master Li Gou was stunned for a moment before taking the lead to kneel.

Seeing his action, the other Demon Masters suddenly understood and knelt as well. “All hail the Black Flame Overlord!”

“All right. Get up!”

Fang Yuan waved his hands. He did not chase after her.

It would be pointless for him to chase down a high-level Demon God that was running for her life. With his current strength, it would be meaningless unless he forced her into a corner.

With all the Demons present, his name was bound to spread far and wide after the battle!

After all, he was at Netherheaven! A top hegemon!

If a Dao Fruit Demon God did not appear, within the Mental Demon Realm, they were the ones stirring up commotions!

“Luckily, I didn’t reveal anything in particular, and I’m using a different appearance. As for the power of the Devour Great Dao, any Netherheaven Demon God could do it!”

Fang Yuan stared in the direction the Demon God escaped in, feeling regret.

If he could have captured and devoured these two Demon Gods, it would have helped his advancement.

The Infinite Devourer and Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment had fallen into his lap in the past. Unfortunately, he could not enjoy such luck forever.

He could not find a third sealed Demon God to be sent to his mouth anymore.

“Overlord!” At this time, Demon Master Li Gou brought Bai Gu and the other Demon Masters to kneel respectfully. “Our greatest respects to Master!”

They were part of the territory’s military forces, and they naturally obeyed the orders of the Black Flame Overlord.

Seeing them, Fang Yuan laughed.

This time, Demon God Black Flame did indeed go for wool and come back shorn, throwing in all his assets and losing.

“Okay… let’s go back!” Seeing their hesitant expressions, he turned around and added, “Follow me!”

Within Demon God Black Flame’s original residence.

Various demon elemental stones gave off a vibrant glow, enhancing the elemental force in the overlord’s mansion by more than ten times stronger than the outside.

Now, Fang Yuan occupied this place. “Li Gou… tell me, what are my responsibilities as the overlord?”

“The overlord is the master of this land. All the rules and regulations here are up to you!”

Demon Master Li Gou knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “The Black Flame Army only serves Master! As for what you have to do, perhaps just communicating with other places on behalf of the locals from time-to-time. But it’s rare for this to happen. Even Demon God Black Flame spent most of his time cultivating in seclusion and exploring outside.”

“I see!” Fang Yuan nodded. “With so few restrictions, I don’t have to let go of this position immediately!”

“L-let go?”

Li Gou and the Demon Masters were astonished.

Indeed, for a Netherheaven Demon God, the Black Flame Territory was of little value. If he wanted to, he could obtain a better and larger place. Naturally, he did not care about this place.

“All right, you guys know that I prefer being free and won’t sit on the overlord position for long. When I’m not around, Li Gou and you will manage this place together!”

He pointed at the three strongest Demon Masters.

“Your subordinates will do our best!”

Demon Master Li Gou and the others were excited as they knelt and pledged their loyalty.

“Okay, who among you knows where Demon God Black Flame is?” Fang Yuan asked with some hope. Unfortunately, no one knew.

He was not too concerned and ordered the opening of the overlord’s treasury.

Rumble!

After breaking several seals and opening the huge doors of Black Flame’s treasury, a dazzling sight greeted them.

Precious Black Flame stones lay scattered on the ground like it was a flea market. It was as vast as an ocean.

Other than that, precious materials were everywhere.

“Unfortunately, Demon God Black Flame carried the best stuff on him.”

Fang Yuan sighed and rubbed the treasure ring on his finger.

A vortex opened and swallowed a large amount of money and materials. Demon Master Li Gou and the others’ eyes twitched furiously, but there was nothing they could do.

In this territory, the public and private treasuries technically belonged to the overlord. He could control it any way he liked.

“I’ll take away half. What’s left should be enough to fund you…”

Luckily, Fang Yuan understood discretion. He did not leave an empty treasury for the three Demon Masters.

However, even after taking these treasures away, he was still dissatisfied. “What a pity I didn’t find anything he missed…”

However, he knew that he was thinking too much.

With a Demon God’s discernment, how could Demon God Black Flame miss any treasures?

In fact, obtaining the Heaven Extermination Plate was worth much more than the sum of this treasury and Demon God Black Flame’s possessions.

“All of you may withdraw!”

After sending the Demon Masters away, and even rejecting their request to send Demon girls to serve him, Fang Yuan finally had time to examine his gains today.

“Heaven Extermination Plate!”

He extended his right hand, and the disc floated above his palm.

This disc was black. On the uneven surface, there were purple patterns and many dents.

After taking it out, a strange energy began circulating, repelling the power of the Heavenly Dao.

“It’s truly a great treasure! Amazing!” Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up. “If I had obtained it earlier, I wouldn’t have been struck by lightning so many times!”

The lower realms’ lightning tribulation was based on the operation of a Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, if the Heavenly Dao was cleared away, the blank area would naturally not have heavenly tribulations arrive.

“Even though this is nothing much for a Demon God, it’s absolutely an amazing treasure for transcending the tribulation in the lower realms!”
