Chapter 738: Lili'an's Ambition

Level 82, soul power increased dramatically again.

Jiang Chen entered the skill space and felt that he still had reserves; he knew that this time he could transport two more skill star cores out.

There are still nineteen skill star cores left in the skill space, and as his level rises, the soul power gained each level becomes stronger.

His soul tier also keeps rising, so the same amount of soul power can exert ever greater force.

Jiang Chen is confident that before breaking through to level 90, he will transport all these skill star cores out, not a single one left.

It would be even better if it could be done a bit earlier.

After moving all the skill star cores, he still has to go to the most mysterious Talent World.

The three great talents are more important than the skill star cores; Jiang Chen must not miss them.

Once he reaches Divine Level, the gate to the Talent World will shrink, making it increasingly difficult to extract the talents and fuse them into his soul.

Therefore, all this must be completed before level 90.

Level 90 is called Divine Level because it truly marks the first metamorphosis.

All previous efforts were to lay the foundation for that first metamorphosis.

The more solid the foundation, the higher he can ascend later.

Like a lofty building, without a firm foundation it cannot stand.

Jiang Chen knows this well, so he dares not relax a single step.

The first skill star core was successfully moved out and sent to the Soul World.

Soul power rushed in recklessly, and the soul body quickly became hollow.

The feeling is unpleasant, but Jiang Chen has long been accustomed to it,

He doesn't mind at all; when the first round of soul power was exhausted, Jiang Chen uttered the long-awaited words to Antares.

"I'm about to act!" Antares said with a grin.

Jiang Chen gave him a withering glance, "Talk as if you hadn't done anything yourself."

Antares laughed heartily, "I was just thinking what method to use to kill you this time."

"Anything works, just hurry up, no fuss, Softfoot Dragon," Jiang Chen said irritably.

"You said not to call me Softfoot Dragon; this time I've decided to kill you with a law!!"

A murderous glint flashed in Antares's eyes as he exhaled a burst of hot air.

The hot air carried a scorching Flame Elemental Law, dealing damage of a super Divine Level tier.

The Flame Elemental Law enveloped Jiang Chen, turning into raging fire that burned, and the Undead Legion collapsed instantly.

Under the searing Flame Elemental Law, the Undead Legion died twice in succession.

The flames vanished, then a gale rose; the Wind Law blew into Jiang Chen's body and then detonated inside him.

Antares's control was precise; after the two Law attacks, Jiang Chen's full rebirth talent was activated.

Accompanied by violet light, Jiang Chen began his second round of injecting soul power into the skill star cores.

Antares asked, "Do you still intend to go to the Dragon Race?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "Not going anymore; even if I went, the effect wouldn't be great. Let's leave it at that for now."

"Then what are you planning to do next?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, "I plan to go after the Abyss Demon; the Dragon Race is already dealt with, and those Abyss Demons won't be spared either."

Antares was puzzled, "Aren't you cooperating with Lili'an?"

Jiang Chen explained, "The cooperation is only with her personally; it has nothing to do with that group of Abyss Demons."

"Moreover, she's willing to sacrifice the Demon race; my killing a few as experience for advancement wouldn't raise any objections from her."

"She might even want me to kill some demons; perhaps she'll intervene like Long Huang, but that's just a performance."

Jiang Chen said this with great confidence.

Although his contact with Lili'an has been limited, he can already analyze some of her behavioral patterns.

Lili'an has no affection for Demons, at least not the kind she feels for the Human Race.

Lili'an possesses half Human Race bloodline; she cares about it and despises it.

Yet she grew up in the Abyss Demon world, and the Demon bloodline gave her great power.

Thus her feelings toward the Demon race are extremely complex.

At the same time, Lili'an is highly ambitious; she refuses to be a pawn and seeks every way to break free.

To cooperate with him and escape the pawn's fate, she can sacrifice the Abyss Demons, even the entire Fragment World.

Her goal is to completely break free from the Abyss Demon clan's control and become a free being.

Jiang Chen whispered, "Lili'an, she is a person of great scope and ambition."

"If she can break free from control, her future achievements won't be modest."

Perhaps after long contact with Antares, at this moment he feels a lofty, superior attitude.

In the Abyss, Demon Emperor Lili'an also received news of Jiang Chen's rampage against the Dragon Race.

After obtaining concrete information, she couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

Leaning lazily on the Demon Emperor's throne, she sipped a cup of dragon blood wine, letting the bright red liquid drip from the corner of her mouth,

"You've grown so fast; you haven't disappointed me."

"The stronger you become, the more likely my plan will succeed,"

"I understand your thinking. After eliminating the Dragon Race, you should come to our Abyss!"

"Should I send some heads over?"

"What do you think? Xiao Nana."

Her gaze fell downward, where the Enchantress Demon King knelt on the ground, trembling.

Facing the Demon Emperor, the Enchantress Demon King could not muster a single thought of resistance.

The thousand‑year accumulated might was too overwhelming; the Enchantress Demon King even dared not reply.

The Enchantress Demon King's real name is Chain Na; after becoming a Demon King, few dare to call her by name.

Only the Demon Emperor before her dares to call her Little Nana.

The Enchantress Demon King does not know what the Demon Emperor intends, nor his meaning, and does not dare to speak.

In the palace, the sound of a stone hitting the floor rang out, and an exquisite demon stone rolled to the Enchantress Demon King's feet.

The demon stone was very exquisite, of high grade, and faintly exuded an aura of law.

It is a top‑quality demon stone, the most elite kind, a treasure only the Demon Emperor is qualified to possess.

The Enchantress Demon King knows that all her possessions are inferior to this tiny demon stone before her.

But why the Demon Emperor would throw this premium demon stone to her, the Enchantress Demon King could not guess.

0. o?

It must not be a simple matter.

"I want to know, how loyal you are to me."

The Demon Emperor's voice rang out, striking the Enchantress Demon King's ears like a thunderclap.

The Enchantress Demon King did not even think, and replied directly, "My subordinate is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty!"

There were no exaggerated adjectives, nor any flattery.

One absolute loyalty was enough.

The Enchantress Demon King probably knows the Demon Emperor's temperament; she does not like flattery, but prefers straightforward speech.

The Demon Emperor let out a coquettish laugh, his voice tinged with coldness, "Now I give you a chance to live."

"You shall issue a Demon blood oath, swearing loyalty to me."

The Enchantress Demon King gasped, "Did I do something wrong?"

A Demon blood oath is not given lightly; once uttered, it must be fulfilled.

If one cannot fulfill it, turning to ash and dust is practically a foregone conclusion.

The Demon Emperor's voice echoed softly through the palace, "You have no choice: either swear loyalty to me, or die here."

Domineering, utterly unreasonable.

Either swear and become the Demon Emperor's slave.

Or die here.

Between becoming a slave and death, the Enchantress Demon King hesitated little.

A powerful aura rose from her body, then a layer of vital blood burst from within, forming a blood cloud.

Facing the blood cloud, the Enchantress Demon King shouted, "I pledge this blood oath, to become the Demon Emperor's most loyal…"

Before the oath was finished, the Demon Emperor cut her off again, "It is not the Demon Emperor, it is I."

"You may call me by my true name, Lilian Yuerheli…"

Lilian is merely a convenient name; the Demon's full name is much longer.

The Succubus dared not resist, and could only honestly swear again.
