“Uh?”
The moment when the demon king appeared, He Lao was alarmed. When he heard the demon king speaking, he was surprised; but his body was trembling when he heard Jiang Yi’s words.
What kind of existence was this demon king? Its strength was comparable to a fifth-stage Vajra Realm martial expert. Was it really fine to Jiang Yi to speak in this manner?
He was incomparably shocked when the demon king actually shrugged before glaring at Jiang Yi, “Alright then, I admit your prowess. You have obtained my master’s inheritance and even refined this Universal Palace. You might as well be considered as my young master. Say it then… what do you want? This king still has to cultivate.”
“Demon king’s young master…”
He Lao swallowed his saliva and was so stirred up that he was trembling. How flashy would it be to have such a powerful demon king servant? If Jiang Yi was to bring it out for a spin in the continent, who else would dare to touch Jiang Yi? If they were unwilling to yield, even regular Vajra Realm martial experts would be overwhelmed. Furthermore, Jiang Yi had the Massacre Intent and instant shift; he wasn’t afraid of being surrounded by an army. In other words… he could even go against an entire kingdom by himself!
With this demon king, would the six influential forces still dare to gather up and kill Jiang Yi three years later? If Jiang Yi was to escape, he would be able to return in the future and turn the entire continent upside down. Jiang Yi had a temperament that would take revenge if there was hatred. Moreover, Jiang Yi had obtained the inheritance of the Witch God. If he was to seclude himself and cultivate for another decade and achieve the Vajra Realm, he could probably lead this demon king and eradicate any of the kingdoms, right?
Jiang Yi was very excited, and he just realized it, too. After he refined this token, it meant he was in control of all the lives of these demonic beasts and mutated beasts in the Universal Palace. As soon as he activated this token, he would be able to eradicate any demonic beast and mutated beast. This demon king was also a demonic beast, and so it was naturally under his control.
“The Witch God’s restriction and sorcery are too powerful. Just by using this simple token, he was actually able to control the life and death of a peak-grade demon king. It is too amazing!”
Jiang Yi was silently overwhelmed, but he quickly revealed an indifferent smile and said, “I don’t have any instructions, but I am preparing to go out. Can you go along with me?”
“Not going!”
The Yazi Beast immediately roared and spoke in a dissatisfied voice, “You want this king to be a fighter for you? I am a demon king, and I have to be a subordinate under a brat like you? You should give up on this thought. This king will rather die than do such a humiliating thing. This king will follow along with you when you break through to the Vajra Realm.”
“Are you really not coming?” Jiang Yi’s eyes turned cold.
The Yazi Beast twisted its head and roared violently, “I won’t go. This king has an esteemed status, and he can’t afford to throw his face away! If you want to kill me, then do it.”
“Alright!”
The killing aura surged up from Jiang Yi’s body while the token lit up in his hand. He yelled out with a cold expression, “I will count to three. If you are still not going, then I just have to kill you. I have no use for you if you stay here. Three!”
The demon king’s heard was still raised up high and ignoring Jiang Yi. It put on this fearless look while its bronze bell-like eyes were filled with mockery.
“Two!”
Jiang Yi yelled out again while his killing aura intensified, and the token grew brighter.
That demon king’s head was still looking high, which made He Lao very nervous. He wanted to say something to convince Jiang Yi, but after fighting along Jiang Yi’s side for this period of time, he knew Jiang Yi very well. He was an obstinate individual who wouldn’t be held back even by ten bulls.
“One!”
Jiang Yi yelled out again while the token was glowing with brilliance. A horrifying aura presence came from within the token, which suppressed He Lao so much that he couldn’t even straighten his back.
Right at this moment, there was a bellow that suddenly echoed by the iced sea. “Stop. I will go—I will go, okay? Kid, you are ruthless. This king is convinced…”
“Uh?”
He Lao looked at that big fellow in the iced sea with eyes of bewilderment. Was this the legendary Yazi Beast which was incomparably brutal and loved a slaughter? A peak-grade demon king was actually so spineless and afraid of death?
“Ke-Ke!”
The corner of Jiang Yi’s mouth lifted, revealing a victor’s smile. He knew that the demon king would submit; otherwise, it wouldn’t be tamed by the Witch God.
If any individual—including a demonic beast with spirit wisdom—was to compromise once, there would be a second time, just like a woman from the brothel. Since they already sold their body once, they wouldn’t mind do it a second time—as they were already used goods.
The Yazi Beast glared at Jiang Yi and spoke, “Kid, this king can go along with you, but this king will not parade himself ostentatiously. If I am to provoke a human martial expert, this king might be surrounded and would die, too! This king still has 500 years of life left, and he doesn’t want to die just like this. Master once promised this king that once he obtains the strength of a demon thearch, his freedom shall be returned to him. You have to swear to heaven, too; otherwise, this king is willing to die instead!”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi instantly agreed without any thoughts. Since this demon king had paused at the peak grade of demon king for such a long time, it meant that it wouldn’t break through any time soon. It might not have any hope of breaking through in this lifetime. Jiang Yi just had to use it for a few years until he obtained the strength of Vajra Realm.
Jiang Yi indicated for He Lao to continue recuperating. He paused for a moment and asked with some doubts, “You can still live for another 500 years? Didn’t you already live for 3000 years? Why is your lifespan so long? From what I know, only demon thearchs can live more than 3000 years, right?”
“Hmph! How can a regular demon king be compared to this king?”
The Yazi Beast raised its head with pride and spoke in a deep voice, “Yazi Beasts are an ancient species, which produced plenty of demon thearch class in history. Back then, my ancestors cleansed this continent with blood and killed countless Vajra Realm martial experts! All those common-blooded demon kings’ lifespan is only half of us Yazi Beasts’! Furthermore, my master gave this king different rare spirit herbs to consume; hence, this king’s lifespan is naturally much longer.”
“Rare spirit herbs?”
Jiang Yi’s mind shook a little. The Witch God was so powerful and had control over the Netherworld Forest. There must be plenty of spirit herbs in this Universal Palace, right? There might even be some celestial stones!
“Celestial stone!”
When Jiang Yi thought about celestial stones, he was immediately excited. He Lao mentioned that he had comprehended a mid-grade dao pattern, and as long as his essence force attained the Vajra Realm, his strength would be comparable to regular Vajra Realm martial experts and his dao pattern attacks’ power would be drastically increased.
Jiang Yi immediately used the token to sense the entire Universal Palace and discovered a solitary small palace hall. There were plenty of weapons and spirit herbs in it, too.
“Saint artifact…”
Among those weapons, he felt a few of the weapons which emitted faint prowess presence which was similar to the Fire Dragon Sword. They were possibly saint artifacts.
He didn’t immediately teleport using the restriction and asked the demon king instead, “There is a small palace hall within this Universal Palace which has plenty of artifacts. Now that I have refined the Universal Palace, does it mean that… I can use all these artifacts?”
“Of course…”
The demon king didn’t speak with an angry tone. “Since you have obtained the master’s inheritance, then this palace belongs to you. Everything inside this palace belongs to you, and you can naturally utilize them.”
“Alright!”
The token lit up in Jiang Yi’s hand as the restriction in the sky immediately brightened up while Jiang Yi vanished into thin air. That demon king took a glance at He Lao and returned to the iced sea. Fortunately, all the mutated beasts had received Jiang Yi’s orders and didn’t dare to attack He Lao anymore. Thus, the fourth floor was considered safe.
“Oh, shoot!”
When Jiang Yi appeared in the small palace hall, his eyes were filled with fire when he saw all the heaven artifacts randomly placed around. Among them were five saint artifacts. Loving treasures was human nature… even though Jiang Yi already had the Fire Dragon Sword, and he might not have any use for the other saint artifacts. After obtaining so many artifacts in one go, he was still rather excited.
“Eh? Why are there no celestial stones?”
He looked around in the surroundings and discovered that—apart from weapons, armors, spirit herbs, and some special artifacts—he couldn’t find any celestial stone. He did a detailed scan of the palace hall but still couldn’t find any.
