Chapter 68: So, what do I look like to you?

"Is it possible that this child is my disciple?" Long Xingyu looked at Anan before him, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

"Then you had better teach him well, Long Xingyu. I think highly of him. You had better teach him to a very high level before I kill you, otherwise I will be bored for a long time, and then I will inevitably have to go back to participate in the war."

Anan threatened him slightly, but whether he would actually do it was another matter.

And likewise, as his voice fell, a red ball of light appeared in his hand, which he threw straight at Long Xingyu: "I remember that when you stepped into the Seventh Rank and were discovered by me, I also gave you such a thing."

"Later, you can give this to your disciple."

This thing was Anan's combat experience. As a Demon God without a race, the only thing Anan had always done was fight—endless, infinite fighting.

And besides fighting, what he liked most was finding opponents to fight, whether they were Human or Demon Race.

Long Xingyu had already been set upon by him before.

He had not disappointed him.

From his birth until now, about three hundred years, Anan's lifelong goal had been to find, or intervene to create, an opponent capable of rivaling himself.

The ending for the two of them was also very simple.

Either he killed the other in battle, or he was killed by the other, and the battle Anan dreamed of most was to be killed by his opponent in such a situation.

To be killed by an opponent in a battle that was nearly evenly matched—what a wonderful thing that would be.

Previously, the one Anan had pinned the most hope on was Long Xingyu, but now it was Ye Ling. After finishing all this, Anan slowly flew up, stepping out of the scarlet vortex once more, which shimmered with a strange radiance; this was Anan using his own powerful strength to guide the Demon God Pillar still in his territory, intending to teleport back directly.

No one stopped him.

Not even those Holy Alliance powerhouses who hated the Demon Race to the bone.

Only one blockhead, after seeing all this, was somewhat dumbfounded. He immediately flew up, a strange look flashing in his eyes as he looked at Anan before him and asked, "Lord Anan, the Seventh Pillar War-Crazy Demon God, please wait a moment."

"What is it?" Anan turned his head, his gaze cold as he looked at Busong before him.

Originally, he should have had a hearty and thorough battle today, but in the end, it did not happen because Long Xingyu was injured under the guidance of this guy in front of him.

It was all this guy in front of him who made him lose a hearty and thorough battle!

Although he had found a surprise, he had been waiting for this battle for a long time!!!

"Lord Anan, shouldn't you have a battle with Long Xingyu now?" Busong wondered.

Speaking of this, Anan became angry: "Are you insulting me? In his state, where is the possibility of a battle? Pure slaughter? Utterly worthless!"

"But they just swindled countless resources from our Demon Race army, and now that you have come, why do you not help the Demon Race army, but instead chat happily with the Humans?" Busong asked in confusion.

By the end, he was like a brainless thing suffering a setback, getting anxious even though he was in the wrong: "Besides, if you leave directly now, and His Majesty the Demon God Emperor finds out, will he not think you are a traitor, colluding with Long Xingyu because of your relationship with him?"

After saying this, Busong was still smug, seemingly thinking it made a lot of sense.

But Anan was stunned upon hearing this.

No, was this guy always this brave? Even an existence like the Fourth Pillar, the Necromancer Demon God Samigina, would not dare to do this. "What does that have to do with me?" Anan answered with disdain, then stretched out his hand, and a violent and powerful force appeared, transforming into a long spear in the void.

That was Anan's power, carrying all sorts of might, rushing straight toward the Tree Demon God Busong, instantly landing on him, and that terrifying Spiritual Power instantly pierced through Busong.

In an instant, the vitality within his body dissipated immensely; if not for his own strong vitality, he probably would have died on the spot, right?

But now he had also lost half his life.

"If you want to say I am colluding with the Humans, then go ahead and see if His Majesty believes it or not." Anan said with disdain, looking around at everyone, including Leng Xiao.

Let alone Leng Xiao, who was currently only at the Third Rank, Anan had this same attitude even toward her brother, the future Demon God Emperor Abao.

In his eyes, only the strong were worthy of his attention!

Of course, Ye Ling was an exception.

And after looking around and seeing no one blocking him, he stepped into the scarlet circle of light and left.

Everyone looked up at him, their gazes straightforward, carrying a touch of reverence and longing.

Especially Leng Xiao, the Demon God Emperor's Daughter; at this moment, a strange light flashed in her eyes as she watched the departing Anan, a trace of palpitation in her gaze.

"As the Demon God Emperor's Daughter, possessing the true Demon Emperor Bloodline, my upper limit will surely surpass this Seventh Demon God, and I might even be able to compare with my second uncle."

Having said that, she slowly looked at Ye Ling's position in the sky, a touch of longing in her eyes: "According to what my Imperial Father told me, the upper limit of the Demon Emperor Bloodline is extremely high."

"If I can strive to cultivate, I can break through the limit of the Ninth Rank Fifth Level before the age of one hundred and step into the status of the Ninth Rank Sixth Level."

"Humans have not had an existence exceeding the Ninth Rank Sixth Level for a thousand years, and my talent must far exceed this boy named Ye Ling, so as long as I cultivate hard..."

Leng Xiao began to think to herself.

If she could cultivate well from now on, and in the future be able to defeat Ye Ling, stepping on him fiercely under her feet, listening to his wailing and begging for mercy?

To prove herself?

It seemed there really was such a possibility! Leng Xiao suddenly had hope; perhaps she should put away her usual slacker nature. While Leng Xiao was thinking, Anan had already left completely.

Busong then spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Anan with towering rage.

Just now, his must-kill list had added Anan to the list that already included Long Xingyu, Ye Ling, and a bunch of Human powerhouses.

It was just that whether he could kill them was one thing, but adding them was enough.

And as he turned his head, he looked at Leng Xiao, and looked at her hands and neck; the necklace was not there.

"That's fine, it looks like there is someone on my must-kill list who is going to die." Busong smiled slightly.

The light of Divine Favor, where in this world is there any light of Divine Favor? It's just that I don't know if it will be Long Xingyu or some genius who dies first this time. Although they had lost face completely this time.

But thinking that there might be an existence crucial to the Humans who would die directly, Busong was also somewhat satisfied.

But thinking of everything he might suffer when he went back this time, he also roared: "Retreat!"

No one disobeyed him, because if you dared to disobey Busong now, the ending would be death, whether you were a Demon God or an ordinary member of the Demon Race, it was all the same.

Soon, after all the Demon Race left Exorcist Pass, representing the dawn of Human victory.

At this moment, all the Human soldiers across the mountains and plains shouted excitedly:

"Hahaha, we won, we completely defeated the Demon Race, we defended Exorcist Pass!"

"We survived!"

"The Demon Race has surrendered, I actually participated in the first war in history where the Demon Race surrendered!"

At this moment, the soldiers of the entire Exorcist Pass were shouting crazily, as if only by shouting could they completely vent the resentment within their bodies.

Afterwards, they each stood at attention, looking at the master and disciple duo still upon the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, their gazes pausing, and each performed the most solemn professional salute of their respective occupations.

And the target was precisely this pair of Knight master and disciple.

The teacher turned the tide; had it not been for his desperate struggle, the Pass would likely have been invaded long ago.

The disciple found a new path, bringing the Demon Princess and directly reversing the battle situation.

That they were able to survive was entirely thanks to this heroic master and disciple.

At this moment, everyone without exception set aside any other thoughts, feeling heartfelt reverence for them.

At this time, the so-called heroic disciple finally returned from his previous epiphany.

Looking at his surroundings, hmm, in mid-air, standing upon a patch of golden light, he instantly understood where he was.

"Hmm, I should be on the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter." Ye Ling nodded, turning his head to look at his teacher sitting on the throne.

"Teacher?" Ye Ling looked at Long Xingyu and called out in confusion.

"Hmm." Long Xingyu nodded, then reached out his hand and threw a ball of light toward Ye Ling; the ball of light landed on Ye Ling.

Ye Ling only felt that he had established a partial connection with the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter beneath his feet; although he could not use it, he was able to make it move. "Teacher, what are you doing?" Ye Ling asked in confusion.

"I can't hold on anymore, I'm relying on the throne to keep my life hanging by a thread. Once that old fellow Ling Xiao arrives, have him save me immediately," Long Xingyu said bluntly.

The next moment, the Doom and Slaughter Armor on his body immediately dissipated, and it could be seen that the clothes underneath were already shattered, his robust body covered in shocking wounds.

One could imagine just how desperately he had been fighting just now.

He collapsed straight onto the throne, and the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter also sensed its master's condition at this moment.

It also slowly exuded golden light, which fell upon Long Xingyu, helping him recover his Spiritual Power.

Watching this scene, Ye Ling was stunned after his initial worry.

Being a Divine Seal Knight is truly good.

When injured, there is no need to go for treatment immediately.

One can just collapse on the throne and sleep for a month.

In a quiet room at Exorcist Pass.

Ye Ling slowly rose.

"The Spiritual Power I broke through with earlier can now be considered completely stabilized."

"From now on, I can be called a Third Rank Sixth Level Knight in the true sense."

Ye Ling slowly stood up, his eyes shining with brilliance, as if endless light were spreading from his body.

And in his hand, he held a note, which was what the Assassin Temple had given him before.

After everything settled down, Ye Ling had gone straight into seclusion.

"Tree Demon God Busong, the things that were finally supposed to be sent over have arrived."

Ye Ling smiled slightly; for this past month, he had been cultivating the entire time.

Then he told Sheng Yue that Cai'er was the key, and had Sheng Yue go to negotiate.

Occasionally scaring them a bit.

That was the only reason they managed to collect everything within a month; some of them were even still fresh, not knowing if they had just been killed.

As for his teacher Long Xingyu, after being brought back by Ye Ling, that Priest Temple Hall Master Ling Xiao had also come over and helped treat Long Xingyu.

It seemed he had woken up half a month ago, but Ye Ling was still in seclusion, and he only just found out from this note now.

That was also a good thing.

Ye Ling slowly stood up, and just at this moment, a ray of light flashed within his body; the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove slowly emerged and hovered before him.

"You've finished your seclusion?"

"Okay, then that's about enough."

Yue Ming Canghai nodded and said.

"What's about enough?" Ye Ling asked in confusion.

Yue Ming Canghai: "."

"The Light Element Spiritual Stove; a month ago you asked me to overcome the restrictions on that necklace and use your Spiritual Power to temporarily nourish her first."

"It's about time; she should be alive now."

Ye Ling suddenly realized; indeed, that had happened.

A month ago, Ye Ling had also intended to check on this Light Element Spiritual Stove, which he thought had no light element nourishment and was being constantly stripped of all its own Spiritual Power.

This led to extremely weak vitality, and Ye Ling naturally did not intend to operate on it and cause her to die suddenly.

In the end, Ye Ling had the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove use the Spiritual Power he cultivated subsequently to nurture it and restore its life.

As for himself, he went to stabilize his cultivation.

He didn't expect that after a month, both matters were resolved at once.

"Then, let's go take a look together," Ye Ling said.

"Hmm." Yue Ming Canghai nodded.

The two opened the necklace, and their divine sense fell into it.

Upon entering, they could see green-black chains flashing with strange brilliance inside, and in front of the chains was a very cute-looking elf.

Seeing this, Ye Ling did not hesitate; with a casual flick, the chains shattered.

The elf recovered her state, almost fell, fluttered her little wings, and looked at what was in front of her with surprise and some fear.

But seeing that it was a Human and a Spiritual Stove in front of her, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you both for saving me. Has this war ended?" she asked curiously.

Returning from the Demon Race to the hands of the Humans, the result was clear to all.

"Hmm, it is over. Little girl, tell us about your situation." The Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove spoke up to ask; as fellow Spirit Stoves, it was most appropriate for him to speak.

The Light Elemental Spirit told them everything about herself.

And upon hearing this, Ye Ling was somewhat surprised.

Her name was Yating.

Could it be the Yating mastered by his potential "little junior brother"? Truly unexpected; he had not thought it would be her.

It seemed his appearance had indeed influenced many things; this spirit had actually appeared near Exorcist Pass so quickly.

Moreover, her state looked much better than it originally was, otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to chat with him so casually.

However, with a Spirit Stove right before him, Ye Ling could not possibly give up on anything.

He spoke: "Are you willing to become my Spirit Stove?"

Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Yating's face. In her current state, if she could form a contract, it would absolutely be the best outcome, not to mention that Ye Ling was also her savior.

He was an existence possessing powerful light affinity.

But after a long while, Yating sighed and said: "I am sorry, please allow me to refuse."

Hearing this, Ye Ling was somewhat surprised.

She was at a moment of life and death, yet she actually refused him; this was somewhat inconceivable.

However, he saw Yating continue to explain: "I would very much like to form a contract with you, but I dare not, and I do not wish to harm you."

"The Tree Demon God placed a restriction upon me. Unless it is Divine Favor, or God Level light, it cannot be undone. Otherwise, even a Divine Seal Knight would suffer, or even be severely injured."

"I do not wish to hurt you. You are a kind Knight, but right now, letting my energy exhaust and perishing myself is for the best. If possible, I ask you to let me go; I am willing to die in nature."

Having said that, Yating wore a pleading expression.

Ye Ling was stunned. He exchanged a glance with Moon Bright Vast Sea, and after the two of them reacted, they both laughed.

"You said, Divine Favor light, is that it?" Ye Ling reached out his hand slightly, his strength constantly condensing at this moment. The next instant, a phantom appeared behind his consciousness.

That was the phantom of a Six-Winged Angel, within which terrifying Light Spiritual Power was constantly condensing, transforming into a dazzling radiance that completely illuminated this place.

Striking an inviting pose, Ye Ling looked at Yating and smiled: "Then, what do I look like to you?"
