Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 1926: Chapter 1911: Divine Medicine—Who Wouldn’t Be Tempted?

"I never thought that within our Wilderness Continent, there truly exists a True God expert!"

...

Just as the five Supreme Elders of the Thunder God Sacred Land were nodding in agreement, Lei Zang revealed a truth that deeply shocked their hearts:

"Supreme Elders, I have carefully examined this person’s root bone. He is only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and his Martial Arts Realm is only in the Seven-star Demigod Realm!"

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

"How is this possible!"

"Lei Zang, are you joking!"

...

The five Supreme Elders were utterly incredulous, as Lei Zang’s words were truly unbelievable!

Eighteen or nineteen years old, slaying the Sinister Three Demon Masters and defeating the Top Ten Demon Generals—how could such a person exist in this world?

If this were true, wouldn’t the five of them, compared to him, have been cultivating in vain?

However, Lei Zang said that he had carefully examined his root bone and confirmed his age to be eighteen or nineteen!

A person’s appearance can be maintained, but their root bone cannot be hidden!

And Lei Zang also said that his Martial Arts Realm is only in the Seven-star Demigod Realm! For someone in the Seven-star Demigod Realm to achieve such a miraculous feat—could it be that after so many years, the world has gone this mad?

Listening to the disbelief in the voices of the five Supreme Elders, Lei Zang earnestly said, "Supreme Elders, every word I said is true, and there is absolutely no deceit!

At the time, he demanded our Thunder God Sacred Land’s True God Battle Artifact, and only after my repeated pleas did he lower his demand to asking for the Divine Medicine.

When I left Heavenly Thunder City, he left a message, stating that before dawn, he wants to see the Divine Medicine; otherwise, our Thunder God Sacred Land would have no reason to exist."

Although the sequence of events at Heavenly Thunder City was slightly altered by Lei Zang, it was indeed largely accurate.

"Did he... really say that?" one Supreme Elder asked.

If they had previously heard that someone demanded the Divine Medicine or claimed their Thunder God Sacred Land was unnecessary, this Supreme Elder would have erupted in anger long ago.

But now, after Lei Zang mentioned "that person," he did not get angry; instead, his words became somewhat heavy with seriousness.

"This..."

"This..."

"This..."

Then, the other Supreme Elders voiced their own thoughts, with tones similar to the previous one, conveying a hint of worry besides the heaviness.

"The Divine Medicine must not be handed over!" At that moment, one Supreme Elder spoke with firm determination.

"Yes! The Divine Medicine absolutely cannot be given away!" Another Supreme Elder added.

"All our hopes rest upon this Divine Medicine. Without it, our hearts in Martial Arts will be utterly unstable, and we will have no hope of entering that higher realm!"

"But although the Divine Medicine is crucial, if it is not surrendered, and if that person truly comes to our Thunder God Sacred Land..."

"Alas! What should we do?"

At this moment, the five Supreme Elders finally had a small disagreement.

Three were absolutely against handing over the Divine Medicine, while two were worried about the "one" Lei Zang mentioned.

If it happens, their Thunder God Sacred Land might not escape a great calamity.

"Supreme Elders!" Hearing their conversation, Lei Zang clasped his hands and said, "If the Divine Medicine is gone, we can still strive to find it again in the future!

But if that God of Slaughter comes to attack our Thunder God Sacred Land, then our sacred land will be truly finished!

At that time, not only will we lose the Divine Medicine, but we will also lose our True Divine Artifact. Our Thunder God Sacred Land will be brought to ruin!"

"This..."

"This..."

"This..."

Hearing Lei Zang’s words, the Supreme Elders hesitated once more.

And at that very moment, one Supreme Elder suddenly shouted, "Lei Zang, stop bewitching us with your cunning words! The Divine Medicine, we absolutely must not hand it over!

Think carefully, all of you; where in this world would such a being truly exist? Seventeen or eighteen years old, Seven-star Demigod, slaying the Sinister Three Demon Masters, defeating the Top Ten Demon Generals! Lei Zang, as the Sacred Lord of Thunder God Sacred Land, you are simply spouting nonsense to us!"

Nevertheless, even though that Supreme Elder said this, another elder expressed concern, "But what if it’s true? Wouldn’t that..."

Before the elder could finish his words, the other Supreme Elder disdainfully retorted, "You old fellow, do you really think there’s such a possibility? Think carefully, all of you old fellows; does such a person truly exist in this world? Is it even possible?"

"This..."

Then, the elder who had shouted scornfully turned to Lei Zang below and said, "Lei Zang, I’d say you have ulterior motives! From the start till now, you’ve been exaggerating, spinning tales about the Nine Nether Demon Lord, trying to deceive us into giving you the Divine Medicine!"

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Lei Zang, who had been showing respect to the Supreme Elders, straightened up and assertively said:

"Supreme Elders, I, Lei Zang, as the Sacred Lord of the Thunder God Sacred Land, have no reason to deceive you for the Divine Medicine!"

"Lei Zang, your intentions are only known to you!

Let’s be honest, the Divine Medicine—who in this world wouldn’t be tempted by it? Even I find it immensely tempting. If it weren’t for the mutual restraint among us five, this Divine Medicine might have long since fallen into someone else’s hands. Ask yourselves honestly, doesn’t the Divine Medicine tempt you?"

"Uh... This... I admit I’m tempted."

"To say I’m not tempted by the Divine Medicine would be a lie."

"About the Divine Medicine... does it even need to be asked?"

...

Hearing the words of that Supreme Elder, the other four Supreme Elders responded one after another.

Although the five Supreme Elders of the Thunder God Sacred Land have been together for many years, cultivating and guarding the True God Medicine in the Divine Thunder Sea,

their words implied that aside from cultivation and guarding, they have been mutually restraining each other all along.

To them, the True God Medicine is indeed of paramount importance. Now the five of them, leveraging the Divine Thunder Sea and the mysterious True God Medicine, cultivate because using this True God Medicine grants them a sliver of hope to ascend to a higher realm.

However, they have naturally considered that if they could swallow the Divine Medicine themselves to ascend to a higher realm, the hope would be far greater!

But among the five, who would willingly let another consume the one and only Divine Medicine? Who wouldn’t want to take it for themselves? Who wouldn’t want to ascend to that level and dominate the world?

"Supreme Elders, I, Lei Zang, have led a life of integrity, and I absolutely have no ulterior motives or a selfish desire to possess the Divine Medicine. I swear that every word I said just now is true!"

As time passed, Lei Zang grew increasingly anxious; if these five undying elders don’t agree to hand over the Divine Medicine by dawn...
