Chapter 2566: Chapter 2540: Agreeing (Second Update)
Hong Yan nodded and said, “Indeed, cultivating the Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique requires an Ancient Demon Scale. Even if this scale isn’t used to cultivate this martial art, for the Human Demon Clan, it is a treasure equivalent to an Absolute Weapon. Consider it a gift from me to you.”
Absolute Weapons rank above Ancient Artifacts and are considered of immense value even within the Divine Kingdom!
Artifacts, Saint Artifacts, Saint Weapons, Ancient Artifacts, Absolute Weapons!
Qi Xin and the other two stared fixedly at the Ancient Demon Scale, swallowing their saliva, their hearts already beginning to waver!
Hong Yan suddenly stood up, speaking resolutely, “Gentlemen, we can’t wait any longer. Otherwise, with this kid’s Martial Arts Talent, he might soon grow into an existence we can no longer handle!”
Have you forgotten? When we initially joined the Divine Extreme Sect, what did we say? We said that in the future, the Divine Extreme Sect is destined to be under the control of our Human Demon Clan. If Ye Chen rises to power, do you think our Human Demon Clan will still have a chance to become the Sect Master’s successor?”
Hong Yan’s ambition was vast!
Without Ye Chen, he could ensure that the position of the Sect Master would definitely be his in the future!
But now, Ye Chen’s emergence has disrupted his plans!
Just like his title of a Demon God, Ye Chen was like a shadow looming over Hong Yan’s head.
Qi Xin and the others exchanged glances, their Human Demon Clan might have appeared to be on the same side as humans, but the rift between them was enormous!
Though the Human Demon Clan had outstanding talent, they were far outnumbered by humans and often subjected to unequal treatment in the Divine Kingdom!
Therefore, when they joined the Divine Extreme Sect, they swore to make it a sect controlled by the Human Demon Clan, where they would never be subjected to discrimination, nor would they allow it!
Zhao Kun still showed some hesitation, “Brother Hong, would that Ye Chen accept the challenge? Even if he refuses, it would only be us who lose face…”
Hong Yan sneered, “This man is known as a Demon God, not just because of his strength and talent, but also his arrogance and pride! I understand this kind of person well; he will not refuse.”
“However…” Yu Feiye frowned, “If we really killed him and if the higher-ups of the Divine Extreme Sect pursue the matter…”
“Haha, Feiye, you should understand if Ye Chen dies, the Divine Extreme Sect will need us even more! On the contrary, if Ye Chen lives, we are the ones who are truly insignificant!
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and with their status, how could they openly intervene in the struggles of the younger generation?”
The three of them looked at each other and finally made up their minds. They firmly grasped the Ancient Demon Scale in front of them and said resolutely, “Let’s do it!”
What is reputation when compared to actual benefits?
Hong Yan laughed heartily, “Good! That’s the spirit! With our talents, we only need half a month to achieve entry-level, even Small Success in cultivating the Four Demons Sealing Heaven Technique! By then, joining forces, we could be invincible in front of any early-stage Disaster Slaying warriors, even if they are top-tier monstrous talents!
Ye Chen may defy the heavens, but he definitely cannot win!”
After speaking, he walked out of the pavilion; he knew that Ye Chen was doomed!
How could he not be doomed?
So, he wanted to make a good show of it, letting more people witness how their so-called Demon God would be crushed by the real Human Demon power!
Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged in the Immortal Heart Forest. After returning from the Divine Devil Pond, he had reaped a great harvest and needed to consolidate it.
Although he did not forbid others from entering the Immortal Heart Forest like Qiu Wen did, when those outer sanctum and servant-disciples saw Ye Chen cultivating there, they actively kept their distance, fearing to disturb him.
However, at this moment, a series of urgent footsteps approached Ye Chen’s side.
Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked towards the source, a familiar figure came into view.
It’s Zhou Yuanxin.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanxin’s round face carried an anxious expression.
“Yuexin, what’s wrong?”
“Brother Ye, didn’t you receive the message?”
Zhou Yuanxin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: “The four individuals from the inner sanctums of the Human Demon Clan have sent a letter of challenge; they’re scheduling a life-and-death fight with you in half a month, and it’s going to be four against one!”
“Hmm?” Ye Chen raised his eyebrows: “What Human Demon Clan?”
“These four from the Human Demon Clan are the Heavenly Demon Hong Yan, Flame Demon Qi Xin, Thunder Demon Yu Feiye, and Stone Demon Zhao Kun! Apart from Zhao Kun, each of them is a monstrous talent ranked within the top five of the inner sanctums, especially Hong Yan, who is number one!”
As he spoke, Zhou Yuanxin’s expression turned grim.
“I’ve long heard that this Human Demon Clan is ruthless and despicable, seemingly arrogant, but in reality, they have no bottom line in what they do! Four against one, they’re capable of such actions, and these are none other than the top powerhouses of the inner sanctums! It’s utterly shameless!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen actually revealed a look of great interest and asked: “What is their strength?”
This man relishes a challenge.
Since they are known as demon gods, facing four at once isn’t really a problem, is it?
Zhou Yuanxin’s expression changed slightly. Why did it seem like Ye Chen wasn’t against this fight?
However, he still spoke: “Hong Yan is at the Third Layer of Disaster Slaying, while the rest are at the second level. Ye Chen, don’t be fooled by the division of realms. Just yesterday, you killed Han Ke of the Divine Elephant Fist, who was ranked thirty-third in the inner sanctums! Despite also being at the second level, he is far from comparable to those Human Demons!
After reaching Disaster Slaying, advancing even a minor division of realms becomes extremely difficult! Yet, within the same realm, there can be a chasm-like difference! Although the others are also at the second level, they could easily have killed Han Ke!”
“Furthermore, as they are members of the Human Demon Clan, their strength is significantly higher than that of ordinary martial artists. Together, they should possess the power to instantly kill any practitioner in the Third Layer of Disaster Slaying!”
“Brother Ye, rest assured, such an unfair fight, and even a battle to the death! If you refuse, everyone will stand behind you. And they even had the shameless gall to release this news publicly?
Hah, the Human Demon Clan always says that we humans are unfair to them? Discriminate against them? Isn’t this infamous reputation exactly what they have cultivated themselves? Now, within the sect, there is nothing but curses towards these individuals!”
Ye Chen has only joined for a short time! And they want four against one?
Yet, Ye Chen didn’t care; he was quite interested in this Human Demon Clan.
Could it be that the Divine Kingdom also has a demon race?
And how does the strength of the Divine Kingdom’s demon race compare to that of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor?
Seeing Ye Chen silent, Zhou Yuanxin became anxious: “Brother Ye, you have to say something. As soon as you give the word, I’ll go and reject them for you!”
By now, Ye Chen had become not just Zhou Yuanxin’s, but indeed all servant disciples’ religious following.
There was even a growing trend within the sect to establish Ye Chen’s Divine Sect, and they had even thought of a slogan.
Ye Chen, the Demon God of All Heavens.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen said: “Yuexin, go and accept their challenge.”
What?!?
