Chapter 418: Don't Kill Me, I'll Tell You a Secret

The Flame Demon King lunged at Jiang Chen like a raging beast.

Although its figure was relatively slight, Jiang Chen would not dare to take it lightly.

After all, this was the Demon King's true form, and its power was absolutely not to be underestimated.

Lich General instantly stepped before Jiang Chen, and a horde of Skeleton Great Mages and Skeleton Divine Archers quickly surrounded Jiang Chen.

At the same time, corpses were thrown into the air, awaiting detonation.

Amid the booming roar, the Flame Demon King's true form was blown apart.

Jiang Chen only then realized that its power was far less than before.

After its shell was shattered, the Flame Demon King lost the formidable strength expected of a Demon King.

Soul Burn activated again, and the Flame Demon King let out a scream.

It stretched out both hands, spewing black Flame, while summoning Abyssal Fire in the sky to create a Fire Rain.

Jiang Chen said expressionlessly, "No need to struggle any longer!"

Skeleton Berserker ignored the Flame, charged at the Flame Demon King, and swung its axe imbued with Red Light.

In a flurry of strokes, the Flame Demon King's limbs were hacked off, and its small wings on the back were also sliced away.

The Flame Demon King let out a scream as it fell to the ground, unable to struggle any further.

Jiang Chen said calmly, "When you arrived here, when your power was suppressed, your death was already destined."

The Flame Demon King kept shouting, "I don't believe it, you're clearly not yet Level 50, so why are you so powerful?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I have no need to explain to you. Now I will give you your final journey."

The Flame Demon King continued wailing, "No, don't kill me!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. In exchange, I can tell you the secret of how I became a Demon King. Release me, and I will never be your enemy again."

The Flame Demon King kept screaming.

It wants to live, it is a Demon King, it is

possessing supreme authority in the Abyss.

It can enjoy the finest life, and it can command wind and Rain within the Abyss.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I will not make a deal with the Demon."

The Skeleton Berserker had already raised its axe.

From start to finish, Jiang Chen stayed far away, never taking a single step closer.

Moreover, an Undead Legion protected him in front, in case the Flame Demon King self‑detonated or something.

He certainly didn't want the mishap in the ditch to fall on his own head.

The Flame Demon King saw Jiang Chen's resolve to kill him in Jiang Chen's cold tone and in the Skeleton Berserker's actions.

It roared wildly again, "I curse you with the Demon King's soul, curse you to never level up, curse your Skill to be sealed, curse your vitality to wane, curse you."

As it spoke, thunder rumbled in the sky.

Curse after Curse broke temporal limits and fell upon Jiang Chen.

With each Curse that landed, the Flame Demon King's aura waned a bit.

It sacrificed souls, using its own soul to cast a vile Curse.

Curses descended one after another, and Jiang Chen's body was enveloped by a crimson, dim glow.

But Jiang Chen felt nothing at all.

The Skill was not sealed, his vitality did not decline, and his attributes showed no change.

Jiang Chen immediately understood that his passive Skill granted status immunity.

He was immune to all statuses, and a Curse is merely a status, so it was also immune.

The Flame Demon King kept issuing its Curse, sacrificing souls.

It was completely unaware that its Curse had no effect on Jiang Chen.

A dozen or so Curses left its soul weakened to the extreme.

"You're finished, my Curse cast with a Divine Level soul, unless there is a transcendent being, no one

can lift it for you."

"Although I cannot kill you, I will utterly destroy you."

"In your future life, you will inevitably remember my gift."

The Flame Demon King laughed wildly.

With these dozen Curses, even if Jiang Chen doesn't die, he will become a wreck.

At this moment the Skeletons stepped aside, Jiang Chen's body bathed in cursed light, and he walked to its front.

"Your Curse is ineffective against me!" Jiang Chen's demon‑slaying heart.

He didn't need to do this, but he did it anyway.

A single sentence sent the Flame Demon King plummeting into hell.

Ineffective!

"Impossible, this is impossible!" the Flame Demon King howled incessantly on the ground.

Jiang Chen's aura was indeed intact.

The cursed light flickered, enveloping Jiang Chen, yet it had no effect on him.

The Flame Demon King was not only desperate, but also heart‑dead.

His eyes vacant, he muttered, "Impossible, this is impossible!"

The goal achieved, Jiang Chen gave a cold smile, "You should go now."

"Strong Soldier" Skill still has the final 1 second remaining.

The Skeleton Berserker swung its axe, slamming it down on the head.

"Kill Flame Demon King, Experience +90000000000"

"Kill Flame Demon King, Star +1"

Jiang Chen was startled by the experience he gained.

A full 90 billion experience.

If converted to Hell Dungeon monsters at Level 50, that equals about 45,000 of them.

The experience jumped up by about 50%.

That's roughly the total experience from clearing the Beast God Plateau instance once.

Jiang Chen thought, if he went to kill a few Abyss Demon Kings, would he be able to level up directly?

Although it was just a wild fantasy, the thought was still quite exciting.

He knew very well that this time was just luck.

The Flame Demon King arrived here, its strength was

suppressed, less than one‑fifth of its usual power.

Even so, it was still very hard for him to kill.

If he really went outside, the only one who could be killed would be himself.

After all, he was only Level 48; how could he contend with a Demon King?

Unless another Demon King entered the instance to kill him, and that Demon King had a strength comparable to the Flame Demon King.

If a stronger Demon King came, even with its power suppressed, it would probably be him who dies.

Besides experience, there are also stars.

The Military Badge shone with brilliant light.

A second star appeared.

After becoming a One-star Divine General, further star upgrades are no longer as simple as Military Merit.

It requires killing the Demon King of Abyss Demons or the Dragon King of the Dragon Race.

To advance from a One-star Divine General to a Two-star Divine General, one must kill a Demon King or a Dragon King.

To become a Three-star Divine General, one needs to kill two more.

A Four-star Divine General must kill four more.

A Five-star Divine General requires eight more kills.

The higher the rank, the harder the star upgrades become.

Hong Jishi had planted a Soul Mark on Jiang Chen at the time, lowering his star rank.

That was equivalent to missing the Military Merit of one Demon King; he later killed a Dragon Race Dragon King to make up for it.

If Jiang Chen now wishes to go from a Two-star Divine General to a Three-star Divine General,

he needs to kill two more Demon Kings or Dragon Kings; the difficulty is easy to imagine.

After the Flame Demon King was slain, the Abyssal Fire gradually faded.

However, the instance's seal has not yet been lifted; it will take some more time.

"I wonder what's happening outside,"

Jiang Chen muttered, beginning to summon Skeletons to replenish the Undead Legion.

This battle lost about four Skeleton Berserkers; restocking them will take a little over an hour.

Moreover, the Strong Soldier skill is still on cooldown.

If there is a big battle outside,

the Strong Soldier skill will be his greatest reliance.

In the Abyss World, fire rain suddenly fell everywhere.

Abyssal Fire from the sky rained down in massive sheets, pounding the ground.

The demons in the Abyss were stunned.

A demon shouted, "Abyss fire rain— a Demon King has fallen!"

"The fire rain is concentrated in the Flame Demon King's domain; the Flame Demon King has fallen."

"What happened? How did the Flame Demon King fall?"

"Did the Human Race come to attack?"

In the Enchantress Demon King's territory, the Enchantress Demon King stood on the palace balcony.

Its gaze pierced space and time, looking into the distance.

On its own grounds, Abyss fire rain also fell, though not as heavily.

"Wasn't the Flame Demon King going after Jiang Chen? How did it get killed?"

"Who did it run into? Hong Jishi or Li Xueru?"

"Serves them right. Is the Human Race's world really that easy to go to? They went in person and deserved to be killed."

"These past few days, the Demon Worship Association has suffered heavy losses; years of effort wasted,"

There was not a hint of anger on the Enchantress Demon King's face.

Even though the Demon Worship Association has many of its followers, to it they are merely its lackeys.

It would not be angry over its lackeys being killed.

A batch died; it will just make another batch to play with.

It stretched lazily, about to walk back to its palace.

Suddenly a voice rang out, "Enchantress Demon King, come to my palace for a moment."

The Enchantress Demon King's expression changed in an instant, then respectfully said, "As you command, Your Majesty, the Great Demon Emperor!"
