Free Web NovelChapter 1793: Chapter 485: Well Prepared, Taking You to the Throne
A black mist with the rank aura, and one with a cultivator’s aura who has become devilic.
After continuous transformation, the two devils slowly took on human forms.
The aura of Freedom Heaven fell by at least 90% compared to before, and Lou Huai’s aura also fell by over 90%.
The two devils looked languid, but there was a trace of excitement in their eyes.
Even though Yu Ziqing let go of himself, he still subconsciously protected the two of them as he always did.
But even so, it led the two devils into a perilous trial where they almost lost their lives.
The two of them were like ore thrown into an Artifact Refining Furnace, undergoing painful smelting and polishing, and even though their power plummeted by more than 90%, it allowed them to undergo a qualitative transformation.
Like a piece of raw jade polished to brilliance, or scrap iron turned into tempered steel in fire and hammering.
This kind of transformation, relying on themselves, would likely take a very, very long time, with only the slightest possibility of success.
In fact, there might be no possibility at all.
Yu Ziqing appraised the two devils and nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as you didn’t die, it’s fine. The Heavenly Devil King has come to the real world, just in time to catch him, Freedom Heaven, lead the way."
Saying so, he glanced at Lou Huai again, tossing the leftovers of what he ate to Lou Huai.
"The Human Devil King’s spear still has a bit left, it’s yours."
Lou Huai swallowed the leftover fragments, almost unable to maintain human form due to the pain.
Yu Ziqing put him away into his boot and continued onward with Freedom Heaven.
"Come, let me take you to ascend the throne."
Freedom Heaven trembled with excitement, having already absorbed part of the Heavenly Devil King’s power and consolidated a portion of rank fragments; he now had the potential to become the Heavenly Devil King.
Now, he already felt that he might indeed transform into the new Heavenly Devil King.
A lifelong pursuit he could hardly touch was now within arm’s reach.
He had no concern whether Yu Ziqing at the moment could rival the Heavenly Devil King or whether he would let the Heavenly Devil King get away.
Previously, Yu Ziqing had chased the Heavenly Devil King like a lost dog; with the current state of Yu Ziqing, there was even less suspense.
"I can sense him, within the borders of Daqian, he might also sense me.
However, it’s strange that this time, he didn’t run.
He must have some grand conspiracy."
"It’s better if he doesn’t run, what’s the point in worrying so much." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
As Yu Ziqing stepped into the territory of Daqian, he grew closer and closer to the Heavenly Devil King.
On the other side, the Yang-destroying Devil also sent word, summoning Jia Shisi in Yu Ziqing’s name to serve as a human form taxi, quietly taking him toward Daqian.
He could not actually pinpoint the exact location of the Heavenly Devil King when not using power.
But he knew that Yu Ziqing must have some way to know.
So all he needed was to confirm Yu Ziqing’s location, determine Yu Ziqing’s direction, then intercept Yu Ziqing head-on following that direction to block the Heavenly Devil King.
As for how to determine location...
He was actually determining the position of that red cloth.
He was very cunning, needing to always determine where Yu Ziqing was, even after leaving the deep sea.
Using that red cloth to sense other matters might not be reliable, but sensing whether Yu Ziqing had killed another god was absolutely foolproof.
He didn’t dare to state it openly, partly afraid that Yu Ziqing would forget about him again.
But using some small means to sense this event beforehand was no problem.
Look, this time because of the early arrangements, he made a huge contribution.
Otherwise, even finding Yu Ziqing to tell him that the Heavenly Devil King was here would be very challenging.
It wouldn’t have been as quick and efficient to complete the encirclement like now.
Jia Shisi had not shown himself the whole time, appearing openly in Daqian territory would be a bit unreasonable.
But if he didn’t show himself, and didn’t act unless necessary, there wouldn’t be a problem.
He acted as a good taxi, delivering the Yang-destroying Devil to their destination.
Arriving at the vicinity of a Devil Sect’s post in the south of Daqian, the Yang-destroying Devil spoke.
"Here it is, your majesty will soon arrive, too."
Jia Shisi gazed at the Devil Sect, where the sect grounds were shrouded in demonic Qi, and the archway at the front of the sect was built from various bones.
From afar, this sect looked like the entrance to the Abyss.
He had heard of this sect, which was originally a Devil Sect, its ways eccentric and ruthless; the sect’s promotion system was extremely brutal, often involving stepping on fellow sect members to rise to power.
But the sect managed to endure largely because its internal struggles were confined; outside, it restrained itself, never fully sliding into the Evil Dao.
After the Blood Moon appeared, the members of this sect started losing control.
At that time, the sect’s Sect Master had some foresight, wanting to keep long-term growth in mind like a few other major Devil factions, insisting on eradicating any who fell into the Devil Dao.
But the good tradition of internal competition and bloodshed within the sect caused matters to spiral out of control.
The visionary Sect Master was backstabbed by fellow sect members and transformed into a Blood Corpse Puppet.
Subsequently, as the Blood Moon grew stronger, on the day of the full moon, a brutal massacre occurred within the sect.
Ultimately, those without any bottom line, who were further strengthened by the Blood Moon, survived to the end.
Afterward, they completed their consolidation and then quietly hid away, maintaining their brutal internal nature while brewing a major move behind the scenes.
The Heavenly Devil King took a liking to this place at a glance, immediately seeing a group of ruthless devils within the sect.
This was also the first major faction the Heavenly Devil King consolidated.
In the sect’s territory, the Heavenly Devil King sat alone on a high platform, looking at the many devils here, feeling quite pleased.
He indeed sensed Freedom Heaven approaching, yet he didn’t care about Freedom Heaven at all.
Without Yu Ziqing, Freedom Heaven was merely delivering himself on a platter.
Just yesterday, he contacted the Ancient Sea God; the Mountain Lord was still trapped on the New Continent, and Yu Ziqing was still in the deep sea capturing the Deep Sea Strange.
Even the True Dragon, who knew what method it used, went to Bright Moon and wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.
The ones he was concerned about weren’t here, so what was there to fear?
As long as he could consolidate and gather enough power, he wouldn’t fear even if the Mountain Lord came.
By then, the Mountain Lord would need the strength to wipe out all Devil-transformed beings in one fell swoop.
