Rise of the Demon God

Long Chen observed the Demon King who was sitting on one knee, respectfully. 

When he had first heard about the Demon King, he never could’ve expected that someone like him was going to be on his knees before him. It was all because of the soul that was now inside him. 

The Demon King waited for the Ancestral Demon’s instructions, but he didn’t get any response. He could only watch Long Chen observing him. 

“Good! Very good! So the Demon realm had actually decided to wage a war on us! If that’s what you want, then we hope you won’t blame us in the future! It’s time to make the Demon Realm disappear forever!” The Ice Phoenix coldly stated. 

The Godly Beasts had stayed out of the war of the Demons and Heaven for so long, but now that the Demons were making trouble for them and killing them, she made up her mind! She wasn’t alone either! All the Godly Beasts misunderstood the Demon King, not knowing that the poor man himself didn’t know what was happening here until a few moments ago!

“Destroy the Demons?” The Ancestral Demon finally spoke through Long Chen. “With just you?”

“Huh, even that bastard from Heaven wasn’t this arrogant!”  The Ancestral Demon had given Long Chen an opportunity to deal with all these people, but hearing his clan being threatened and with this arrogance, he couldn’t control his anger. 

The terrifying aura that he had been trying to control for such a long time spread far and wide, covering the entire Realm of White Tiger Clan!

Before the torrent of this terrifying pressure, even the White Tiger couldn’t control themselves. The pressure forced them all down to their knees, making them all feel helpless. There was a feeling of dread in all their hearts!

Even Xun and Zhu Chang couldn’t resist this pressure. They were all down to their knees, feeling helpless. This kind of strength… It was truly overwhelming. 

The only person here who seemed unaffected by this aura was the Rainbow Princess. Other than her, even all the God Beasts had to give it their all to resist this pressure. 

‘This strength… Just what is the identity of this person? The soul that possesses this boy… Just who is he? How could it have so much strength even when it doesn’t have its own body? Just how strong was he when he was alive?’ 

Before this strength, the Rainbow Phoenix was also taken aback. This kind of strength had some of the Divine Aura as well, which could’ve only been used by the Ancestral Gods like the ones who created her and the Ancient Myriad Beast! action

‘Could it be because this boy’s body possessed some of that Divine Strength? That bastard was truly hiding inside his body, so it makes sense that his divine aura will be inside his body. But how can the Ancestral Demon’s soul use that strength? It’s as if he’s too familiar with that strength?’

The Rainbow Phoenix hadn’t met with the Ancestral Demon in her life before today. She also didn’t meet the Ancestral Heavenly King, so she didn’t know just what kind of experience they had. However, she was sure that there was something that she was missing. 

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm “For you to be so familiar with the Divine Aura… Did he teach you?” The Rainbow Phoenix asked after a long time, thinking of something. 

An ordinary person could never use this kind of strength, unless he was taught by the person who actually possessed this strength. 

She was sure that there were only two people who could do this. One was her master who had been sealed, so he couldn’t have done this. That only left knee person… The Ancestral God who created the Ancient Myriad Beast!

“It doesn’t matter who taught me. What matters is the present!” The Ancestral Demon spoke. Each of his words contained immense power in itself. 

“You people talk about destroying my descendants? Do you really think I’ll let you all do as you please?”lightsnovel

The Demon King also stood up, standing behind Long Chen. “Ancestor, just give us the command! We are ready to fight with our lives on the line!”

On one side, there was the Demon Ancestor with the Demon King. While on the other side, there was Rainbow Phoenix along with the God Beast Kings. Even the Black Tortoise Clan patriarch was standing with the God Beasts, despite knowing Long Chen well enough. 

The Ancestral Demon was momentarily silent, but on the inside, he was still talking to Long Chen. 

‘You understand, kid?’ he asked after explaining everything. 

‘I do. I’ll handle it.’ Long Chen agreed, not showing any expressions in his face. 

“Today, I will kill them all! No one will leave alive!” The Demon Ancestor declared out loud as his aura intensified!

“I won’t let you do that! We are leaving,” Long Chen spoke, firmly. 

“What nonsense are you talking about?” The Ancestral Demon frowned. “They are all here! And they are nothing before me! Isn’t it better for me to just absorb all their strength?!”

Long Chen didn’t answer right away. Instead, he focused on the Rainbow Phoenix. 

“If you want to live, leave this place right now. If not, even I can’t control the Ancestral Demon Beast! Once the battle begins, you’ll all die!” He said, in complete seriousness. 

“You are letting them live? How can I let you do that? We need to kill them!” The Ancestral Demon roared. “Don’t stop me today!”

It was as if Long Chen’s body was moving on his own as he moved ahead. However, at the same time, he could clearly be seen resisting, stopping himself. 

“If we fight, this entire place will be destroyed. I don’t want to kill so many innocents, just to have my revenge,” Long Chen stated. “Today, I won’t kill any more! We are leaving!”

“You all, don’t disturb the Ancestral Demon and don’t hurt any Demon! I might not be able to control him if he gets even angrier in the future! It’ll be the one time I’ll save you all, and only because I have some good relationship with the Beasts!” Long Chen declared, opening a portal before him. 

He instructed the Demon King and his daughter to go with him, along with Xun and the Snake Monarch. He let Zhu Cheng stay behind, but only because he was going to come back later. His family was still in the Black Tortoise Clan after all. 

Long Chen entered the portal which closed on its own after a few seconds. No God Beast followed behind him, since just the aura of the Ancestral Demon was strong enough.

“Good work, little one,” Inside the Portal, the Ancestral Demon finally stopped the act of resistance. “They shouldn’t follow us for now. My soul has just woken up. I can fight them all, but your body isn’t strong enough at the moment. If I actually use my strength, your body will be destroyed. So better to avoid battle until I make you stronger.”
