Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 949: Chapter 939: The God of the Demon Race

"Are you... are you a Divine Beast?"

The Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor asked with gritted teeth, his severely injured body trembling.

The kind of fear that came from deep within the soul, that was irresistible, had completely shattered the mental defenses of the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor.

The Ice Phoenix did not answer, but instead sneered and asked, "Old thing, I’m giving you two choices: one, submit; two, die. Choose one, you better think clearly."

The Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor’s entire body shook, unable to hide the terror on his old face.

The Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor was utterly terrified.

In the Demon Realm for so many years, even the Flood Dragon Race had never been feared, but the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor was alone in fearing the Ice Phoenix before him.

Indeed.

The most shocked and terrified was the Jiao Li Race Leader.

He, too, a powerful figure in the Demigod Realm, seeing the miserable fate of the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor, suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with cold sweat soaking his back instantly, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

"This... such terrifying Divine Beast Bloodline, what should I do..." The Jiao Li Race Leader’s heart was filled with contradiction and fear, as if a thousand ants were gnawing it.

He was reluctant to lower his proud head to submit to the Ice Phoenix, yet he knew he was helpless against the terrifying Divine Beast Bloodline, engaged in a fierce and painful struggle within.

Seeing the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor did not answer, but with a face full of intense fear, the Ice Phoenix’s Liu Mei furrowed slightly and asked coldly, "Have you decided yet?"

Upon hearing this.

The Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor shuddered all over, gritting his teeth and asking, "My Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Race has no enmity with you, why are you forcing us to submit?"

The Ice Phoenix condensed the terrifying Divine Beast Bloodline power with her jade hand, emitting light, as if the surrounding space was trembling, and a cold killing intent spread around.

The Ice Phoenix replied indifferently, "Those who don’t submit will die. There are not that many whys. You can also choose not to submit."

"I do not force anyone to submit, but for those who refuse, I will kill them. Even for a Demigod, I won’t hesitate for a moment."

The Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor trembled with fear, answering in terror, "I am willing to submit, I am willing to submit!"

Faced with the irresistible Divine Beast Bloodline, the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor didn’t want to die in vain; submitting was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Consider yourself sensible," the Ice Phoenix smiled slightly, finally withdrawing the Divine Beast Bloodline.

The icy gaze then turned to the Soul-devouring Centipede Demon Race, frightening both the Centipede Demon Race Leader and the entire Soul-devouring Centipede Demon Race into lowering their heads.

Since the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor had already submitted, they dared not utter a word.

The Ice Phoenix’s cold gaze swept across other races, asking chillingly, "Is there anyone else unwilling to submit?"

The strong members of races that had submitted earlier all lowered their heads, like frosted eggplants, with no will to resist.

Even beings of the Demigod Realm had submitted; how could they dare not to submit?

If they didn’t want to live?

The Ice Phoenix’s cold gaze then swept towards the direction of the Flood Dragon Race, as the only race yet to make a statement.

Just one look from the Ice Phoenix terrified all the strong-warriors of the Flood Dragon Race, their hearts pounding as if they were about to jump out of their throats.

At this moment, the attention of all major races was entirely focused on the Jiao Li Race Leader.

All major races wanted to know if the dominator of the Demon Soul Mountain Range, the Flood Dragon Race, would submit to the Ice Phoenix.

The Celestial Fox asked respectfully in a low voice, "Clan Leader, do you think the Flood Dragon Race will submit?"

The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox frowned and said, "Though the Flood Dragon Race’s bloodline is strong, it’s far inferior to our leader’s bloodline, which cannot resist the Divine Beast Bloodline. The Flood Dragon Race stands no chance."

"Even the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor couldn’t resist the Divine Beast Bloodline, that old thing Jiao Li also definitely cannot. If the Flood Dragon Race doesn’t submit, they will certainly face annihilation today."

As time passed by gradually.

The Ice Phoenix said nothing, just continued to coldly stare at the Flood Dragon Race.

The atmosphere grew ever more tense and oppressive, as if the whole world was frozen.

"Clan Leader, what should we do?" A trembling Elder of the Flood Dragon Race asked, with beads of sweat rolling rapidly from his forehead, his heart filled with extreme fear.

So many powerful races had submitted, and only the Flood Dragon Race remained unsubdued.

The Jiao Li Race Leader bit his lip, his mouth tightly shut, without answering, his heart tangled like a chaotic mess.

"If we don’t submit, we might end up like the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor and the Soul-devouring Centipede Demon Race, suppressed by the Divine Beast Bloodline, or even killed by her," another Elder said with a sobbing tone, his body trembling continually.

The expression of the Jiao Li Race Leader was terribly gloomy, as if water could drip from it; his hands were tightly clenched into fists, nails digging deeply into his palms, with blood trickling drop by drop.

The Ice Phoenix still remained silent, merely coldly watching the Jiao Li Race Leader, her gaze seeming to pierce his soul.

The less the Ice Phoenix spoke, the more fear the Flood Dragon Race felt.

The Jiao Li Race Leader even felt as if he was gripped by an invisible giant hand around his throat, choking to the point of nearly suffocating.

"I... I can’t let the Flood Dragon Race face extinction..." the Jiao Li Race Leader thought to himself, a trace of resolute determination flashing in his eyes.

In the end. frёeωebɳovel.com

The Jiao Li Race Leader lowered his noble head, his voice low and filled with helplessness and humiliation, "I, Jiao Li of the Flood Dragon Race... am willing to submit."

The corner of the Ice Phoenix’s mouth raised slightly into a victorious smile, saying, "Very well, remember your choice. I despise traitors the most, and should any among you defy me, you shall bear the consequences."

A strong Demon Venerable spoke respectfully, "My lord possesses the legendary Divine Beast Bloodline and thus is a God to our Demon Race. We submit to the Demon God without a second thought! Henceforth, we faithfully serve our Demon God!"

The Ice Phoenix smiled, satisfied, saying, "From this day forth, I shall rule the Demon Soul Mountain Range. Any betrayals will lead to a fate like that of the Bloodthirsty Scorpion Race - turning to dust!"

All major races shouted in unison, "We obey the Demon God’s command!"

Their respectful voices soared to the sky, shaking the heavens.

The Ice Phoenix nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, disband now. Consolidate your own races well, and remember: loyal service to me is the only path to survival."

"Yes, Demon God!" The crowd dispersed, as if pardoned.

In the depths of the Demon Soul Mountain Range.

The territory of the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon.

Still deeply concerned, the Soul-Devouring Centipede Demon Ancestor spoke to the strong ones of his race, "Though the Ice Phoenix’s cultivation may seem ordinary, the Divine Beast Bloodline is terrifyingly formidable. In the future, never harbor disloyalty."

The Centipede Demon Race Leader respectfully replied, "The ancestor speaks the truth. It is a great fortune that we managed to preserve the lives of the entire race this time."

The horror of the Divine Beast Bloodline was witnessed with their own eyes; if harboring disloyalty, the Soul-devouring Centipede Demon Race would inevitably face annihilation.

...

The territory of the Flood Dragon Race.

The Jiao Li Race Leader returned to the Flood Dragon Race and immediately gathered everyone, speaking most seriously, "From now on, we must act cautiously, not to anger the Ice Phoenix, nor provoke the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race!"

"As you command!" The Flood Dragon Race unanimously responded with respect, not daring to have any disagreement.
