Chapter 86: Chapter 80: Treasures
The shirtless man roared, "WHO DARES?!"
The rest of the Demon Monarchs also released their Killing Intent. All except one: the Poison King. He recognized that voice. He thought, ’Here we go again.’
A beautiful woman with black hair and green eyes walked in. She said, "I dare. Got a problem, dumbass?"
The woman in skimpy clothing said, "Who is this bitch?"
But then, she heard the Poison King’s voice in her head, ’Shut up right now. She is—’
As soon as she heard the words ’shut up,’ she cut the transmission. She had no interest in listening to him. Hell, she wanted to egg him on, so she did the exact opposite. She said, "How dare this bitch interrupt our Liege?"
She glanced at the Poison King, who smacked his forehead. But then, she noticed something disturbing. Although the Poison King seemed regretful, there was a sinister smile on his face.
The woman suddenly felt a stinging sensation on her face. She had been slapped by whoever this newcomer was. As she stared at her assailant, the newcomer went ahead and sat on the second throne below the Heavenly Demon.
She said, "I’m the Lady of the Divine Demonic Cult, wife of the Heavenly Demon, and the mother of the next Heavenly Demon, Tang Mi-Yeon. Now tell me, how should I punish you? You just disrespected the Heavenly Demon by calling him a dog. After all, only a dog would marry a bitch."
Seeing that the atmosphere was deteriorating by the second, the Heavenly Demon knew he had to do something. He said, "That’s enough. Tang Mi-Yeon, forgive the Enchantress. She didn’t recognize you because nobody has seen you in 23 years. But don’t worry, she will redeem herself on the battlefield, or I will give you her head myself."
Tang Mi-Yeon thought about it for a moment and said, "No, leave her alive. You don’t find a living poison tester in the Ultimate Demon realm every day. I have multiple poisons that I want to test."
The Enchantress saw Tang Mi-Yeon staring at her, and she could have sworn that she saw a nine-headed snake behind her.
Tang Mi-Yeon continued, "Coming back to my question, whose successor has my son become?"
The Heavenly Demon said, "I was coming to that. The story that was passed on to us may have changed a little, but this part has always remained the same. He who exists outside of Heaven and Hell. Hunter of Demons and Angels. Creator and Destroyer of Myriad Races. Master of Rebirth. Reacher of Untold Planes. Seeker of Lost Knowledge. Beast of Battle. Dominator of Emotions. Ruler of the Celestial Sky. The Asuran Star of the Gemini Primogenitors. He has many titles, but he identified himself as the Asuran Neo-Nephilim Primogenitor."
Tang Mi-Yeon and everybody present was a bit scared after hearing these titles. She said, "Where is my son? Why isn’t he here?"
The Heavenly Demon replied, "He is in the Abyss of Vengeful Spirits, preparing to break through to the Peak Demon stage."
All of the Demon Monarchs said, "The Cult’s future is bright."
Their authority was second only to that of the Cheon Bloodline, so they were familiar with the details of the Nine Lotus Hells Technique and how the heirs of the Heavenly Demons would need nine treasures to birth their Demonic Spirits.
The shirtless man, famously known as the Mountain Crushing Demon Monarch, said, "I still have the completely preserved corpse of the False Dragon that I hunted to celebrate my breakthrough. I and the Demonic Physician were going to use it to make a batch of Dragon Qi Elixirs, but it will be better used by the Little Lord. I’m certain that it will birth an extremely strong Demonic Spirit."
Hearing this, an old man among the Demon Monarchs nodded. He was the Demonic Physician. He said, "I agree. In this manner, the corpse will be fully utilized. I also have a 900-year-old Ginseng King that is about to awaken its wisdom. It would also serve as an excellent foundation for a Demonic Spirit."
Hearing these two, the eyes of the rest of the Demon Monarchs started shining. Now, they hadn’t personally met Zeke, but they had heard the rumors about him. And from what they could tell, he was exactly like their Liege. So for them, this was a good opportunity to show their goodwill.
The Enchantress offered silk harvested from a Yin and Yang Silkworm. The Demonic Sword Empress offered five kilos of Meteor Iron. The Demon with a Thousand Faces offered the blood essence of a Nine-Tailed Fox. It wasn’t as good as a complete corpse, but it was still something very precious. The rest of the Demon Monarchs also started offering treasures that even people with their strength would covet.
The Heavenly Demon nodded after hearing their offers. He said, "You can give your gifts to him yourselves when he comes out of his seclusion." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Hearing his serious tone, the Demon Monarchs nodded and waited for him to continue. They knew that he was coming to the third reason that he had called them there for. And they were right.
The Heavenly Demon continued, "You all have some friends in the Spirit Beast Clans. Invite them all to this Annual Mara Sacrifice. Especially the Sky Tiger, Infernal Slumbering Bear, Stag of Calamity, and Bloodborne Horned Pegasus Clans. Invite their leaders. We will form an alliance with the Spirit Beast Clans."
Hearing this, the Demon Monarchs became hesitant. The Heavenly Demon saw this and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The Mountain Crushing Demon Monarch said, "My Liege, it’s not that we have a problem. But even with our friends, there is no way the Spirit Beast Clans will agree to an alliance with us. They call themselves descendants of Divine Beasts and look down on the human race. To put themselves in an equal position with us, they would never agree."
The Heavenly Demon said, "Not if we tell them that we have news of an actual Divine Beast."
The Demon Monarchs lost their composure.
