Chapter 98: The Moon Demon God Who Lost Everything

~14 min read 2,698 words

"Tell this King, what is that Moon Source on your person that is in no way inferior to my own?"

Agares asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, how could Ye Ling not understand? Even as "partners," Agares had absolutely no reason to invite him over, but now, he had one.

A very straightforward one.

It was also normal; their Moon Demon Clan played with the power of the moon, and it was not as if they would not allow other existences capable of wielding lunar power to live in this world.

However, the ability regarding the power of the bright moon within the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove had long since surpassed all Moon Demons, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Moon Demon God Agares. This was also normal, but on the surface, that was Ye Ling's ability.

One had to look at Ye Ling's cultivation. However, Ye Ling could not directly speak of the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove.

Although Agares would not do anything excessive to him because of this alliance, once he found out, there might be a great change in the situation.

"This is a stroke of fortune from my past."

"It existed before the Dark Era and can draw upon the brilliance of the moon for cultivation, but it is already severely damaged; no matter how much lunar brilliance is absorbed, the conversion completed is only a tiny amount." Ye Ling sighed, putting on a regretful expression.

He did not like to lie, but that was for the people important to him.

Whether it was his older sisters, younger sisters, or elders, in most situations, he would not choose to hide things.

But the Moon Demon God Agares before him? Just kidding. Although they were partners, they were each harboring their own ulterior motives, struggling for their own goals; where would there be so much morality to speak of?

As long as there is no betrayal, that is the greatest cooperation. "Try it." Agares did not intend to give up.

He still wanted to see the situation of this thing: "This place has almost no existence of dark attributes; the only thing here is the Bright Moon Brilliance I have absorbed over the past few hundred years. For those who cultivate the Star Cultivation Method and rely on the moon, it is an excellent holy land."

"You may well try and see if you can finish repairing that stroke of fortune."

Hearing Agares's words, Ye Ling was stunned and hurriedly asked the Moon Bright Vast Sea internally: "Senior Canghai, can you manage to absorb the moon elements here without him discovering the key?"

"No problem, it's just that this Spiritual Power might not be able to be used to amplify you; it can only pass through your body and then nourish my body, accelerating the recovery progress," the Moon Bright Vast Sea said somewhat embarrassedly.

He was not lying, but he actually wanted to help Ye Ling more right now.

"That's easy to say. Although there is no problem with using the converted Bright Moon Brilliance to turn into Light Element to improve my own abilities, it must inevitably contain Dark Element."

"These Dark Elements have a negligible impact on you, after all, you contain all rivers."

"But with my current cultivation, even if only a trace enters, it would be troublesome even if I washed it away later." Ye Ling made a plan immediately.

He turned his head to look at Agares and said: "Then I shall follow your words."

Having said that, he sat cross-legged. Cooperating with the Moon Bright Vast Sea, the countless Moon Brightness Spirit Power in the surroundings seemed to be attracted, instantly rushing toward his position, forming a vortex on Ye Ling's body, and in his changes, it actually triggered a Spiritual Power Tide.

At this moment, the brilliance of the bright moon in this place became even more surging, violently rushing toward Ye Ling's position.

Sensing this, a flash of surprise crossed the Moon Demon God's eyes: "It seems he really wasn't lying."

"This is indeed not his own power, but that special encounter. I just don't know what that encounter is. A Spirit Stove? Or a cultivation technique?"

Agares now had a desire for knowledge regarding Ye Ling's state. After all, as the Moon Demon God, he was very curious about everything containing the power of the moon. But soon, this curiosity dissipated directly, replaced by horror.

No, this kid is really not holding back!

This time the absorption was truly without restraint; it was being driven at full force. Although it did not empty it all at once, the countless Moon Source Spiritual Power he had accumulated over the past hundred years.

Was being reduced by one ten-thousandth constantly!

One five-thousandth!

One one-thousandth.

One five-hundredth.

One one-hundredth!

In an instant, the pure Moon Source accumulated within was also swallowed by one percent in a flash, and it was still constantly being swallowed, the speed getting faster and faster, as if it had entered a state of excitement!

Agares panicked.

He immediately used his powerful Ninth Rank Eighth Level cultivation to act, cutting off Ye Ling's contact with all surrounding Spiritual Power, which finally made the Spiritual Power Tide dissipate.

But just a moment ago, the swallowing was still continuing.

Another one percent was gone, a total of two percent swallowed!!! Agares felt such heartache! "To be fair, although these demons disgust me, their requirements for the quality of Spiritual Power are much higher than those of humans."

"Just from absorbing for such a short time, the pure Moon Brightness Spirit Power, even with you as the relay station, gave me a conversion of over ten thousand in Spiritual Power value!"

The Moon Bright Vast Sea praised.

His requirement for initial repair was one hundred thousand points of Spiritual Power, and now with just this, it directly completed over ten thousand points for him, a full one-tenth! With this level of pure Spiritual Power, the current Ye Ling would have to cultivate for ten years to possibly achieve it, and even after he reached the peak of the Sixth Rank, it would still take at least half a year to possibly complete.

And now! Praise the Moon Demon God!

If it weren't for the grace of Lord Moon Demon God! How could they possibly have such progress.

It is just a pity that he reacted so quickly.

Otherwise, the Moon Bright Vast Sea even wanted to absorb for a while longer.

Although this kind of external Spiritual Power swallowing is slower and has more obstacles compared to swallowing Spiritual Power through the host, for example, it will get lower and lower later on.

But! This is the accumulation of the Moon Demon God Agares over several hundred years; even if it gets blocked later to one percent being only one thousand Spiritual Power, absorbing it all could still directly break one hundred thousand! "Let's quit while we're ahead, this is enough." Ye Ling smiled slightly. To prevent Agares from seeing any clues, he quickly returned his consciousness, and at a glance, he saw Agares, whose handsome face was gradually becoming a bit ferocious.

He lost! He really lost his mind! "Your stroke of fortune is indeed terrifying." Agares looked around at Ye Ling, a strange purple light sweeping across his eyes, and he instantly knew a bit about Ye Ling's state.

But the result made his liver ache. Because, having just absorbed so much Moon Brightness Spirit Power! For Ye Ling, the improvement was almost negligible; his Internal Spiritual Power only increased by fifty points, and his External Spiritual Power only increased by twenty points. This made Agares's mentality explode! No, this is at least two percent of the Spiritual Power savings this King has stored over these few hundred years! If this were given to those ordinary Moon Demon clans for cultivation, it would be my fault if they didn't break through to the Ninth Rank on the spot!

And you!

With so much Spiritual Power, you didn't move at all? At most, your affinity for the moon increased a bit. This made Agares feel very depressed inside.

But he could not take action, and he could not even do anything excessive, because he knew that with Long Xingyu's temperament, he would really dare to explode with him.

That wouldn't actually have much impact on humans, after all, they don't trust him anyway, it would just be losing an opportunity.

But for himself, not to mention that his plan of several hundred years would fail, even his position as Moon Demon God would be stripped away by the Moshenhuang Fengxiu, and he might even die instantly.

The Demon God Emperor would not agree to anyone threatening his position, especially when there was evidence. I have dug a huge pit for myself. "Many thanks for the gift of Lord Moon Demon God, it is just a pity that the repair was not successful; if it could continue, perhaps there might still be a chance." Ye Ling stood up and thanked him. Agares: "..."

You still want to continue? No, am I the Demon God or are you the Demon God? Why do I feel like you are more of a Demon God than I am?

Is this something a human can do? Agares held back a mouthful of old complaints inside, truly extremely speechless. Although he thought that continuing to investigate would be beneficial to him, the loss just now had already made him afraid.

If he continued to investigate, and it still didn't make up for his losses, that would be truly losing his mind.

It doesn't matter; once this brat grows up later, if he can complete all his objectives, I will personally collect from him with interest!

He waved his hand: "Forget it, treasures that have been damaged for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even longer, perhaps have no value in being repaired."

Yue Ming Canghai: "!!!"

However, he still followed his heart; he knew that with the discernment of the Moon Demon God Agares, once he was discovered, he would likely be seized immediately.

After all, he was one of the Twelve Watchers.

Fortunately, Agares did not continue to speak on this matter, but instead shifted the topic directly, asking: "However, according to what Yue Ye said, the place you went to this time was the Beixiao Cave within the territory of the Necromancer Demon God Samigina."

"I had also been observing through the power of the moon previously and detected a strange power within, but that strange power disappeared very quickly. What was inside?"

A good opportunity! Just as Ye Ling had an idea in his heart, he took out a special gemstone from his storage space.

This was a crystal-clear jade stone; moonlight shone through it, flashing with a crystalline radiance. Just by taking a simple look at it, Agares even had a feeling of his mind being affected, though this feeling did not successfully manifest.

"What is this?" However, to be able to create an illusion of being affected—with Agares's cultivation, it was impossible for him not to see its terror.

He asked immediately.

"This is a gemstone I obtained after preparing to leave the Beixiao Cave. It seems to have a significant influence on Mental Power, and it can also conduct Spiritual Power."

"It's just that after I performed a transmission, my Spiritual Power was like a clay ox entering the sea, with no change at all. Would you like to try it?" Ye Ling asked.

Agares looked at the Interference Crystal in his hand, slightly urged his Spiritual Power, and in an instant, the Spiritual Power submerged into the Interference Crystal.

It was just that, to his surprise, he had just urged ten thousand Spiritual Power into it, but it dissipated directly; this actually piqued Agares's interest.

"Let this King see where the limit of this crystal lies, and what effect it will have after reaching the limit." Agares's eyes flickered, the Demon God Crown belonging to the Moon Demon God within his body was beating constantly, and the next moment, all the Spiritual Power in the surroundings was added onto this Interference Crystal.

Ye Ling was also very happy.

He could see the numbers on the Interference Crystal jumping.

Ten thousand.

Fifty thousand.

One hundred thousand.

Three hundred thousand.

Five hundred thousand.

Eight hundred thousand! After reaching his own Spiritual Power limit, Agares even began to devour the surrounding Spiritual Power; the consumption of replenishing Spiritual Power was far less than the consumption of increasing cultivation.

Nine hundred thousand! Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine! One million!

All of a sudden, it instantly broke through the limit within, reaching the level of one million.

Agares was happy; the crystal was full.

Agares was miserable; the crystal shattered, and Agares was stunned, staring blankly at the crystal in front of him.

Originally, he had thought there was some good stuff inside, but he didn't expect that there was nothing at all. After the crystal shattered, it only brought him a moment of trance, and then it dissipated between heaven and earth, without even a trace remaining; he had absolutely no feeling in this regard. "Just? Just this?" Agares asked, stunned.

"This... you, as the specific user, should know better than me, right?" Ye Ling answered simply; he could choose not to know.

Agares: "..."

He could tell that this kind of thing could absolutely not be something manufactured by the current Holy Alliance; after all, it was absolutely impossible for the Holy Alliance to manufacture such a Mental Power treasure that could contain a Million Spiritual Power before shattering. This was a craft the Holy Alliance absolutely did not possess.

Since that was the case, there was only one possibility: this was indeed a treasure from the Glorious Era of the past. Agares was truly about to vomit; logically speaking, this thing should have been picked up by those Human powerhouses who would inject Spiritual Power, only to discover it was all for nothing.

And now... having been swallowed by himself, plus the 2% of stored Moon Brightness Spirit Power lost just now... Agares only felt he had lost a fortune.

He sighed: "I shouldn't have completed this transaction with Long Xingyu; otherwise, with such a loss, I am unable to have any counterattack."

"Forget it, for the sake of my goal, all of this is worth it."

Agares thought to himself; he was, after all, a prince of the Demon Race, one person below ten thousand, the second pillar Moon Demon God Agares—when had he ever suffered such a loss?

If the Moshenhuang Fengxiu were to know about this, let alone whether he would deal with him, he would probably laugh himself to death first.

He and this "big brother" had fought countless times in the open and in the dark for hundreds of years, but never once had he lost so miserably. Of course, Agares could afford the loss, he was just a bit depressed.

Calming down, calming down, that was about it.

Just as he intended to let Ye Ling get lost, he saw a young woman rush in from the side of the gate; wasn't this woman Yue Ye?

At this moment, she was quite anxious, even having lost her usual poise.

"Yue Ye, what are you doing?" Agares looked over immediately.

Only then did Yue Ye notice the ferocity on her father's handsome face and the faint trace of weakness that appeared; she was completely stunned.

In her memory, this father of hers had always been a towering powerhouse, an existence who would not change his expression even if the sky collapsed before him; how had he become so disheveled now?

"Father, what is this?" Yue Ye asked in doubt.

"It's nothing, what happened to make you so anxious?" Agares asked, frowning.

"According to news from the Demon Emperor Palace," Yue Ye explained immediately: "His Majesty the Demon God Emperor has arrived in person at the Moon Demon Palace!"

It is truly uncomfortable to have the flu.

Brothers, take precautions...
