Chapter 242

La Luo Na Er saw that Xiao Feng had this idea and also possessed this strength, so he nodded and began to tell him about the Demon Kings he knew, one by one.

However, before speaking of the Demon Kings, he first said a few words about the three great Demon Gods.

The Demon Gods are the foundation of Shen Yuan Shijie's foothold; if it weren't for the overwhelming strength of the three great Demon Gods, the divine power behind the 24 temples of Zhu Shen Da Lu would have long since swept the Abyss clean.

Each of the three Demon Gods possesses combat power at the Upper God level; they have existed for a very long time, and even when La Luo Na Er was still a child, they had already been opposing the gods for several thousand years.

Among the three great Demon Gods, the Bloodthirsty Demon God takes the lead.

The Bloodthirsty Demon God's true form is a vast pool of blood; after its birth, it self‑named itself the "Primeval Blood Demon" and was born a demigod.

He possesses astonishing wisdom and power, and is extremely patient, often lying dormant for hundreds of years without appearing; once he shows up, he stirs up heaven‑shaking turmoil!

This overlord suffered unprecedented grave injuries in a battle three thousand years ago with the War Chief God Asata; it is said he cannot recover and can only rely on the Abyssal Demon Clan's unique life‑prolonging method, using some Supreme Treasures hidden in the Primeval Mountain Range to sustain his life.

At his peak, his combat power could rival that of the weakest Chief God.

Now weakened for three thousand years, though not dead, La Luo Na Er estimates he should soon be done for, his combat power at most that of an ordinary Upper God.

However, the powerful subordinates under this Demon God are extremely formidable!

Under his command are the Eight Great Demon Kings; the strongest among them, the "Primeval Demon Tree King", has strength comparable to a Middle God, once tore apart a God Realm Envoy that had descended, and was ranked fifth on the list of "Most Dangerous Abyssal Creatures".

— The top three are naturally the three great Demon Gods; the fourth is the Abyssal Forbidden Land's Primeval Mountain Range, so this guy is undoubtedly the strongest under the Demon Gods!

Moreover, there are three senior Demon Kings who have been famous for over a thousand years, and none of them are kind-hearted.

Mi He Er, slain by Xiao Feng, was a direct bloodline descendant of the Bloodthirsty Demon God, highly talented but rose to fame later, and is actually the relatively weak one among them.

La Luo Na Er, after hearing Xiao Feng talk about the Gray Ash Plains battlefield, thought Mi He Er shouldn't be so easily killed, and might soon recover his wounds and make a comeback.

Speaking of the Bloodthirsty Demon God, Xiao Feng recalled that he still had an Abyssal Rose in his backpack.

Earlier, La Luo Na Er had also mentioned that when the Bloodthirsty Demon God was in dire straits, it gave birth to a son and a daughter, hoping to pass on its legacy.

He doesn't know who the "Demon Son" is, but the Demon Maiden can definitely be identified as Mi Nie Ya.

This offspring, whom the Bloodthirsty Demon God regards as an heir, might well become a Demon King in the future!

However, judging by the growth rate of NPCs, Mi Nie Ya's level rising to Demon King would likely take several decades.

By then Xiao Feng will have already pierced through the heavens and trampled the Chief Gods underfoot, so there's nothing to worry about.

The other two great Demon Gods also possess combat power at the Upper God level.

The Dark Demon God's strength is relatively a bit stronger; nobody knows what his true form is, and each time he appears he manifests as an endless dark aura, like dark clouds.

This Demon God's most illustrious feat was in a god‑demon war over two thousand years ago, when he single‑handedly slew five Middle‑God‑level God Realm Envoys in an extremely short time.

The envoys of Shen Jie are not ordinary god‑level experts of Zhu Shen Da Lu; they are formidable warriors who have survived battles in the heavens, each capable of standing alone.

The fact that five Middle Gods were slain together led people to conclude that the Dark Demon God's strength differs from that of the Bloodthirsty Demon God by at most a hair's breadth.

In that battle, the human forces were utterly defeated, and all the major cities of Xi Dalu suffered varying degrees of corrosion.

Finally, the temples of the twelve major cities of Xi Dalu jointly lowered the projection of a Chief God, forcibly dispelling the darkness; otherwise, the human NPCs of Xi Dalu would likely have become slaves of the demon race.

After that battle, the Dark Demon God gained fame in a single engagement, leaving an indelible terrifying image in the minds of Xi Dalu's NPCs, which still deeply influences people there to this day.

Some lingering dark forces in Xi Dalu often seep into the main cities, causing disturbances of various scales.

It is said that a small portion of players on the international server have already been summoned by the Dark Demon God, joined the Abyssal faction, and thereby obtained powerful hidden classes and strength.

Barring any surprises, the Dark Demon God will be the Demon God who has the greatest impact on Zhu Shen Da Lu after the game's launch!

Besides his own formidable strength, the Dark Demon God also commands two extremely powerful Demon Kings whose fame is not inferior to that of the Primeval Demon Tree King.

These two Demon Kings are named the "Death Breath Demon King" and the "White Bone Demon King", and both have records of slaying God Realm Envoys.

Hmm… In Xiao Feng's view, the Shen Jie Envoys that have descended to the mortal world have already become a unit for measuring combat power!

Only those who can kill a God Realm Envoy count as true experts!

Those who cannot kill them are just weaklings!

Lastly, there is the youngest of the three great Demon Gods, the Purgatory Demon God.

This Demon God's true form is a mass of purgatory lava, resembling a flame monarch.

He rose to fame 1,800 years ago, and in terms of seniority he is junior to both the Bloodthirsty Demon God and the Dark Demon God.

Although he is an Upper God‑level Demon God, he has never had any notable achievements; the strongest enemy he has ever slain was merely a Lesser God.

This cannot be blamed on the Purgatory Demon God; mainly, since his rise to fame until now, there has never been a large‑scale war between gods and demons.

Without the descent of God Realm Envoys, those humans of Zhu Shen Da Lu simply aren't qualified to fight him.

Moreover, the Purgatory Demon God's own forces and troops are relatively few, making it impossible for him to launch a world‑shaking war on the scale of a "Dark Invasion".

Under the deterrence of the 24 temples, he dare not openly show off in Zhu Shen Da Lu; thus, although he has been a Demon God for over a thousand years, he still feels like an insignificant nobody, lacking any widely known stories.

Of course, the Purgatory Demon God is not without his distinctive traits.

His trait is quite interesting: he likes to adopt sons and daughters!

As long as they have good talent, their strength is not weak even if mediocre, and they heed his words, any Abyssal creature has a chance to earn his favor and become a Son of the Demon God or a Daughter of the Demon God.

The Bloodthirsty Demon God and the Dark Demon God have been famous for several thousand to tens of thousands of years, yet the number of their offspring whose names are known is fewer than ten.

Meanwhile, the Purgatory Demon God, in just over a thousand years, has already adopted more than 300 sons and daughters!

Because of his existence, the titles "Demon Son" and "Demon Maiden" have become much cheaper; what originally signified "noble bloodline" has simply turned into a nominal office.

Although he has many offspring, only a few have become truly capable.

Among the Purgatory Demon God's over three hundred offspring, only one has become a Demon King, making him one of his five top subordinates.

The remaining four top fighters are self‑taught wild Demon Kings; their strength is respectable, but they still lag considerably behind the top Demon Kings serving the other two Demon Gods.

After listening to La Luo Na Er's introduction, Xiao Feng finally reached a conclusion.

— As for soft persimmons, the Purgatory Demon God's side has the most of them!

He even suspects that the Purgatory Demon God, who rose to fame 1,800 years ago but has never fought a classic battle, might not even be his match!

Some other day, if conditions allow, he will go to Shen Yuan Shijie for a sweep and wipe out the Purgatory Demon God's lair in one fell swoop.

The divinity and city‑building orders from one Demon God plus five Demon Kings are exactly enough for him to upgrade his War City!
