Seeing Firefly approach and the power that was constantly trying to interfere with his soul, Qin Yu was stunned. Because he was familiar with this strange power for some reason, as if it belonged to him in the first place.
With just a thought, he could control it as he wished. Even this demon woman would be controlled as well.
He could feel the excited beating of the heart of the abyss in his chest. He pondered for a moment. Could this be because of the Nightmare bloodline within him?
The reason this heart of the abyss was successfully condensed was because of Cangwu’s strength. Although it had fused with a part of the abyss’ source and the demon bloodline had been altered afterwards, if he said he was from the Nightmare Royal Family, no one would doubt him.
So, while an incomplete Nightmare bloodline flowed through Firefly’s veins, she wanted to use the Nightmare Clan’s ability to manipulate the minds of others to deal with him…
How to say it? This was no different from courting death. And she had even given the saber to Qin Yu on her own initiative and offered up her own throat.
His complexion grew strange.
But now, looking at his stunned and strange expression, in Firefly’s opinion he had fallen into her control.
While things weren’t going exactly as she thought they would, he was still supposedly a Demon General level existence, so there was bound to be some resistance. This was well within reason, thus she didn’t dwell on this further.
Her eyes turned cold but her expression became increasingly gentle. Her face flushed red and her breathing quickened. She reached Qin Yu and stretched out her arms, wrapping them around his neck. She clung to him and breathed into his ear, “Do you love me?”
“I love you.” Qin Yu said with a wooden expression.
“Do you love me enough to commit suicide?”
“Yes.”
Without hesitation, Qin Yu stabbed his hand into his neck. Blood spurted out, spewing over Firefly’s body. She took a deep breath. The scent of this blood was so delicious. It was a delicacy that her mind drowned in.
Without delay, she latched onto Qin Yu’s neck and began to swallow gulps of blood. With each mouthful she could feel her body changing.
A formidable strength grew within her, rushing through her limbs and bones. The bottleneck that had troubled her for so many years was instantly shattered.
“Ah! This is it, this is it! Give me more strength!” Firefly screamed in excitement. She swallowed faster and faster. And, Qin Yu’s blood seemed to be endless. It violently spurted out from inside him.
The strength in her body grew greater and greater until it finally broke through a limit. Firefly suddenly felt as if something broke apart and she entered a brand new boundary. This was a feeling as if she grasped the surrounding heavens and earth, capable of summoning abyssal energy to use with just a thought.
Demon Commander!
This was the Demon Commander boundary!
Tears flowed down from Firefly’s eyes. She shivered and let go of Qin Yu. She looked at her hands and whispered, “Demon Commander…I’ve broken through to the Demon Commander boundary…mother, do you see me…I’ve become a Demon Commander…
“Those people who harmed us and chased us out will pay the most brutal and despairing price for their actions!
“I, your daughter, promise that I will send all those people into the most terrifying purgatory of the abyss, so that they howl and scream in pain and sorrow forever!”
Firefly laughed and cried. She looked towards the dead Qin Yu who was still wildly gushing out blood from his neck. “No, a Demon Commander is not enough. I must become a supreme King and control the will of the abyss to completely ruin them!”
She plunged at Qin Yu, biting down on his neck wound and continuing to crazily suck up blood.
Blacklight felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He froze in place as he looked at Firefly crawling on the ground, madly eating dirt and rocks.
While he had expected that Qin Yu wouldn’t be easy to deal with, he never thought that he would be formidable to such a degree.
Demon General…no, this was absolutely not it. To have Firefly fall into an illusion without any resistance at all, could a mere Demon General possess such a potent power?
Could he be a Demon Commander?
As this thought appeared, Blacklight’s complexion paled further and despair appeared in his eyes. As an upper Demon General, he was well aware of what sort of terrifying strength Demon Commanders possessed.
Even if there were ten of him working together, they would all be instantly suppressed when facing a Demon Commander!
This was because while it seemed that there was only a single level of difference between a Demon Commander and Demon General, they actually represented almost two completely different species.
The difference in strength was as great as the distance between the heavens and earth!
Qin Yu glanced at Blacklight and was able to guess what he was thinking. It seemed that his performance had frightened this young horned python clan powerhouse.
His thoughts raced and his eyes flashed. He looked up.
A moment later, a calm voice resounded in his ears. “My subordinates have eyes but cannot see, and have offended Your Excellency. Please be merciful and spare their lives.”
The voice was calm but it carried a faint yin chill aura. It wrapped around the body, causing one to feel alarmed.
As if at any moment, countless needles would arrive and tear apart their soul!
Demon Commander!
Only a Demon Commander could use such a method of summoning and mobilizing abyssal energy with just a thought. There was no other possibility.
Qin Yu was expressionless. He confronted this aura for a few breaths of time before turning and leaving.
Hu –
Blacklight fell to the ground, gasping for breath as his body streamed with sweat. He had never felt death so close before. It was like he would be devoured at any moment!
…
As numerous eyes watched him with awe, Qin Yu left the Merry Forest. He turned and glanced back at that place where low buildings were stacked up upon each other and he narrowed his eyes.
To be able to control a region within the large Great Deer City and become the actual ruler, there had to be a reason for it.
Demon Commander!
If he didn’t see it with his own eyes he wouldn’t have dared to believe it. A powerhouse that stood at the peak of the abyss was actually willing to withdraw and hide in such a small place.
That’s right, although the Merry Forest had a notorious reputation and was considered a lawless zone of Great Deer City, it actually occupied nearly a fifth of the entire city.
But such a place was far, far too small for a Demon Commander. It was like a great dragon that had dove into a tiny lake. There was just no way for them to stretch their wings.
Sure enough, after living in this world for long enough one could encounter anything, no matter how strange it was. But he wasn’t without harvests. When he faced this hidden Demon Commander in the Merry Forest, he felt that he was around the same level and could confront him if needed.
This gave him a general judgment of his own strength. After his heart of the abyss had fused together with a part of the abyss’ source, it gave him a pleasant surprise.
It was a pity that this strength could only be used in the abyss. Once Qin Yu returned to the living world, the abilities he obtained from the abyss would be sealed away just like his cultivation was now.
He shook his head and tossed away these thoughts. He turned and walked away. This time, he smoothly returned to his courtyard.
Previously he had made a fortune from Liu Huo. In order to ensure Feature’s safety, he had spent some time and effort when purchasing this small courtyard. Its location wasn’t too far away from the residence of Great Deer City’s Lord.
So while there were all sorts of undercurrents surging in Great Deer City and many conflicts had broken out, the environment and public safety in this area was still good.
After checking his arrangements and determining that no one had touched anything, he closed the courtyard doors. An impatient Feature was already waiting for him. “What took you so long? Give me the things I asked for!”
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. If it weren’t for the fact that she went crazy and decided to be an abyssal demonic refining master or whatever, he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble. If it weren’t for the fact that he needed her to undo the Path of 10,000 Souls, he would just sit back and see how she screwed herself over…
Though he cursed inwardly, he didn’t reveal anything on his face. He took out the demon leather bag and said, “The things you want are in here.”
Feature grabbed it and checked inside. Joy lit up her face. But soon, there she had a vigilant expression. “Your attitude is so nice. Were you cursing me inwardly just now?”
Qin Yu nearly choked on himself. Was this a woman’s intuition, or was this some great supernatural power similar to mind reading?
“Heh. Looking at your expression I knew I guessed correctly. Let me warn you, it is best for you not to do that again. My senses are sharp!”
Qin Yu turned and walked away, “I have no idea what you are talking about.” Continuing to argue this topic with her would clearly be an unwise choice.
“Hey! Remember to look through the things I gave you. I don’t want you to be completely clueless still when I ask you for help! As the future strongest demonic refining master in the abyss, if I fail in my refining then that will be the greatest insult of my life! I will be extremely angry!”
This was a threat. This was an open and naked threat!
Dark lines appeared on Qin Yu’s forehead and he nodded. Only when he closed the doors behind him in his room did he bitterly smile. He took out the demon crystal cards that Feature gave him and started sifting through them with his divine sense.
He might as well take a look just in case. If the refining failed because of him, who knew what sort of mess that woman would cause!
Although he had never had any contact with this demonic refining master occupation before, he could still be considered an alchemy grandmaster. And for a time, he had played a guest role as a beast trainer grandmaster too.
Perhaps because there were many commonalities between these types of occupations, Qin Yu quickly immersed himself. The information in the demon crystal cards wasn’t too difficult to understand.
Gradually, he gained an intuitive understanding of the demonic refining master occupation. At the very least, he understood what it was.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Qin Yu had become an abyssal demonic refining master. To be exact, he was still far, far away. At best he had a simple and preliminary understanding of this demonic refining knowledge.
