“What if I refuse to eat it?” As the figure spoke, he reached the front of Qin Xian and stopped a foot away from him.

“Hahaha...” Qin Xian laughed and raised his right hand.

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

“...”

As Qin Xian rose his right hand, the weapons of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were also raided and the roars of battle echoed in the air.

“It seems like I don’t have another choice?” The figure took a sweep at the surroundings and his gaze eventually fell back upon Qin Xian.

However, unlike before, it fell on the seed in Qin Xian’s hands and he looked as if he was thinking about something.

“Chou Qi, you should be familiar with the idea of how the most powerful get to take charge.” Qin Xian waved his hand immediately before Chou Qi could reply. “Serve tea for Sir Demon Deity.”

Swoosh!

Before Qin Xian could finish his sentence and before the Demon soldiers could reply “roger”, the figure who was standing in front of Qin Xian moved.

It was a sudden movement.

So sudden that he had almost no friends...

Of course, whether the figure had friends or not was not important. The important thing was that Qin Xian also started moving when the figure moved.

Amongst the monsters and demons who had descended, both Chou Qi and Qin Xian were weirdos.

As a weirdo, Qin Xian had the mindset of a weirdo. Similarly, he knew what Chou Qi was thinking about much better than any other monsters or demons.

He would attack once they could not come to a consensus.

This was not anything surprising, especially since the person who was standing in front of him was the super Demon Chou Qi who found joy in massacring.

Qin Xian retreated very quickly.

When the figure charged forward, he had retreated for a distance of five feet and as he did that, two gigantic green vines grew from the ground.

The green vines had thorns and glistened like metals. Furthermore, there was a blue radiance on the tip of the thorns.

Evidently, they were poisonous thorns!

“Chou Qi, how dare you to attack me, you are still too young...” Qin Xian stopped in the middle of his sentence because a pair of bloodshot eyes were right in front of him.

It was so close that it was almost touching his face. Furthermore, there was a spinning Blood Offering Illustration in the pair of bloodshot eyes!

Eight different symbols were shining on the Blood Offering Illustration.

Moreover, there was a terrifying attractive force in the eyes that pulled at Qin Xian’s eyes.

It felt as if Qin Xian was chained up by chains.

“The most powerful get to take charge!” A cold roar was heard before a grey cloud of haze shrouded Qin Xian and the two green vines behind him.

Everything took place so quickly, from the attack of the figure to Qin Xian’s retreat to how Qin Xian was shrouded by the grey cloud of haze.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye.

None of the surrounding troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race could react in time. In fact, everything had already begun when they reacted.

“Oh no!”

“Sir Demon Deity is rebelling!”

“Take... take him down!”

By right, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would not participate in a battle between two Godly State experts. However, it was different this time as Qin Xian was the one being attacked.

He was the next Highness as instructed by Yun Qingwu!

Therefore, how could the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race sit back and watch?

Despite knowing that it was dangerous, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race still charged forward furiously into the grey cloud of haze with bloodthirsty expressions.

However, they stopped immediately after they stepped into the cloud of haze.

Because...

They had already died.

The bodies of the monsters and demons fell on the ground. Like withered trees, all the liveliness and flesh had been swallowed.

It was a terrifying scene.

At the same time, a cloud of blood-red light shone in the gray cloud of haze like a blood moon in the world of death.

“No!!!” Qin Xian’s indignant voice was heard in the haze because he did not underestimate his opponent. He even had prepared himself long ago.

However, he did not expect Chou Qi to suddenly become so powerful as though he had become another person in less than two months’ time.

The swallow of death!

This was Chou Qi’s power. A terrifying power that allowed him to swallow any force to supplement his force.

Qin Xian knew that Chou Qi had this power.

However, he did not expect Chou Qi to have the Blood Offering Illustration which was so powerful that it was able to transform any type of powers!

The swallow of death, Blood Offering Illustration...

When these two terrifying powers appeared on one particular person, nobody could guess who powerful he could be.

“Seed? Naturally grown... Not bad, I will accept it then!” A cold voice was heard again and a hand pressed on Qin Xian’s head.

Qin Xian was stunned at this moment.

He knelt in front of the figure and his eyes looked dead as he held his hand in front of his chest as if he was making a prayer.

It was a strange scene.

The stranger thing was that Qin Xian was glancing upwards.

The figure in front of him was not in his eyes. Instead, it was a gigantic tall tree that was as white as snow. There was a green fruit that was solidifying in the tree.

Crack!

A crack appeared on Qin Xian’s forehead and it extended from the top of his forehead to his lips, passing by the green scar on his forehead.

Buzz! A gigantic airwave surged out from Qin Xian’s body. However, it was blocked when it touched the gray clouds of haze.

Thereafter, the airwaves surged into his body as though that was the only place it could enter.

After a long time, the howling wind...

Finally stopped.

Qin Xian had collapsed on the ground. However, his body was no longer made up of flesh as there were cracks that looked like spiderwebs all over his body.

A strong gust of wind blew and his dried dead body which had split open turned into dust.

“Huff...” The figure withdrew his palm and blew out a gust of air as if he was relieved.

The blood red radiance subsided.

The gray clouds of haze were also absorbed into the figure’s body.

It was a strange scene.

The stranger thing was that the Blood Offering Illustration had disappeared from the figure’s eyes and all that was left was a gigantic tall ancient tree with a few gigantic fruits.

However, after a short moment, the tall tree had also disappeared and the pair of eyes turned black.

It was as calm as undisturbed water in the well.

“You all must have heard that, the most powerful get to take charge!” The figure gradually turned around and looked at the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race who were stunned as they stood rooted to the ground.

“...”

“...”

“Died, he died?!”

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race swallowed their saliva as they exchanged gazes in fear and shock.

“I am asking all of you a question, did you hear me?” The figure spoke again.

“...”

“Yes, we heard it!” A few of them finally spoke as they trembled.

“Hmm, Qin Xian did not care about Young Lord’s safety and I have already killed him. From now on, I will lead all of you in the battle against the humankind and will try my best to save Young Lord. Do all of you... understand?” The figure nodded and sounded extremely cold.

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race took a glance at each other as they heard this.

‘Did not care about Young Lord’s safety...’

‘Killed Qin Xian!’

‘Try my best to save Young Lord!’

“Yes, commander-in-chief!”

Chou Qi!

“Chou Qi, Chou Qi!!”

“...”

Without hesitation, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race knelt down immediately.

Their loud and clear roars echoed in the air. As compared to the leadership under Qin Xian, the morale of the troops were much more boosted and each of them showed a similar seriousness in their eyes as compared to when they were under Yun Qingwu’s rule.

...

The black stone palace was a wrecked palace.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that long ago. Therefore, when he entered the black stone palace, he thought that he had to walk through the wreckage.

However, in reality, he walked through a small walkway which was not very “fanciful” with one hand holding on to Yun Qingwu and the other holding on to Ping Yang.

It was called small because it was really narrow!

At least, this walkway was not wide enough for three people to walk side by side. Moreover, the space was too narrow.

It was extremely narrow at the head area.

Fang Zhengzhi liked to walk with his chest up. Even though he was running extremely quickly, it did not affect his posture.

And this habit...

He was forced to lower his head after he was knocked on the head by the eaves.

Fang Zhengzhi lowered his head. Therefore, in order to prevent Yun Qingwu from sneaking away, he held her close to his chest.

He was surprised that Yun Qingwu did not struggle and purposely curled her body up.

However, one of her hands pushed on Fang Zhengzhi’s chest.

Fang Zhengzhi did not mind such a small action as after all, it was an instinctive move to prevent their bodies from touching.

Fang Zhengzhi was not a person who took advantage of others.

If he wanted to take advantage of others, he made sure it was a huge advantage. Or else, he would rather not take advantage of others as it would not be interesting at all.

“You... walk slower!” Ping Yang’s voice was heard. As she was forcefully pulled by Fang Zhengzhi, she could not see what exactly was in front of her and could only follow close behind. Therefore, she inevitably collided onto some things.

For instance, the bumps on the ceiling and the small rocks on the ground.

“Alright, we will walk slowly then.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and slowed down drastically.

Then, he felt someone slamming right onto his back.

“Can you not be so slow?!”

“Alright, then we will speed up...”

“Slow down a little!”

Plop! Another slam.

“Faster!”

“Slower!”

“...”

After a series of screams of “faster” and “slower”, Fang Zhengzhi finally walked passed the difficult and long narrow path. Then, his vision widened.

It only widened a little, though.

The black stone palace was not very bright and Fang Zhengzhi felt that something was wrong.

“Ooo... Shameless... Senior Meng Tian, do you... do you feel... tired...” Ping Yang’s voice was heard.

“Tired?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly realized.

If not for Ping Yang’s reminder, he did not realize this at all. However, Ping Yang’s sentence caused him to suddenly realize.

It was a feeling of tiredness!

A very strange feeling of tiredness!

Of course, it was not because of the intense “exercise” earlier on as they walked through the narrow path.

In fact, with his powers, such exercise was no issue for Fang Zhengzhi and he could even do it for a month.

However, the reality was that...

He actually felt his footsteps becoming heavy.

Could it be gravity?

Fang Zhengzhi quickly negated this possibility because if it was so, he would have felt the gravity immediately when he stepped into the black stone palace.

Something was wrong!

Fang Zhengzhi was confused but he did not overthink because there was a dim starlight shining in front of him.

Light?

It was undoubtedly a surprise in this dark world.

Fang Zhengzhi was not overly surprised but he knew that he would have reached the end of the long and narrow path when he reached the light.

“Ping... cough, erm... now that the road is wider, walk beside me so we can hurry up!” Fang Zhengzhi was about to call Ping Yang by her name instinctively but he realized before that.

“Hmm, alright!” Ping Yang nodded and moved beside Fang Zhengzhi. She became excited when she saw the light ahead of her. “Light, there is starlight in front, that must be the exit!”

Evidently, Ping Yang had forgotten about the “tiredness” she was complaining about earlier on when she saw the light.

“Smart, let’s go!” Fang Zhengzhi praised Yun Qingwu and started running.

In less than 10 minutes...

The starlight disappeared.

An unforgettable scene appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes. It was a scene that should not have existed in the world.
