Chapter 562

Xiao Feng wanted to speak up for Mi Nie Ya.

Didn't expect the witch to be faster than him, she immediately replied: "I'm happy, do you guys even have the right to interfere?"

A lich clan demon king continued to berate: "You enjoy the Abyssal Demon Clan's supreme bloodline, have been served by countless demons since childhood, yet have never contributed a thing! Now that you have a little power, you immediately defect to our mortal enemy, the human faction, and even sign a master-servant contract, such a disgrace! And now you have the nerve to say we can't control you? If the Bloodthirsty Demon God were still here, he'd be furious enough to kill you!"

This demon king is named Shadow Witch King, level 360, the only mid‑god‑level powerhouse among the others present.

He was truly angry, feeling pained and furious over Mi Nie Ya's betrayal.

But Mi Nie Ya remained unmoved, simply replying: "You make it sound as if these privileges were something I begged for…… Father God created me by separating the bloodline, merely to reforge a body so he could be reborn in it. I only want to live as I wish; whether you scold me or look down on me, I don't care. Anyway…… I'm not even close to you."

"Shameless wretch!" the Shadow Witch King seethed with rage.

But Xiao Feng was too strong; even furious, he dared not step up to reprimand Mi Nie Ya, only able to roar on the spot to vent.

"Sigh..."

At that moment, a low sigh came from within Chengshi.

A colossal demon god flew out from within.

Xiao Feng quickly looked toward the city, curious about the demon god's true form, which closely resembled his summoned Flame Lord.

The owner of that sigh was precisely the Purgatory Demon God.

He stood about 100 meters tall, his whole body dark‑red stone, his surface covered with magma patterns like blood vessels, emitting firelight.

On the huge stone skull's crown protruded a decoration resembling a crown, making him look even more noble than the Flame Lord.

Then look at his information.

【God·Purgatory Demon God (Transcendent Mythic Leader)】

Level: 430

HP: 5.5 billion/5.5 billion

(Information omitted)

This demon god is a top‑tier boss ranked among the top three on Zhu Shen Da Lu; following normal progression, it will become the ultimate boss in the minds of Blue Star players for a long time, immensely formidable and terrifying.

But now, before Xiao Feng, he showed no arrogance at all, like a gentle neighborhood uncle.

He looked at Mi Nie Ya and said helplessly: "Princess Mi Nie Ya is right; we have no right to interfere with her choice. Moreover, she has already contributed to the demon clan; without her, this adventurer would not be speaking so amicably—he would have already slaughtered us."

"Sir?"

"Father God! How can you boost others' morale while destroying your own prestige?"

"This guy isn't that scary; if we all rush him together, we'll surely kill him!"

The demon kings hearing the Purgatory Demon God's words were all shaken, feeling that he held Xiao Feng in high regard.

Only the Purgatory Demon God himself knew the situation; he shook his head and said: "You lot, truly ignorant of heaven's height and earth's depth."

Under the doubtful gazes of the demon kings, he explained: "Even gravely wounded, the Bloodthirsty Demon God is still stronger than I am at my peak. And just over a month ago, he was slain by this adventurer. If I recall correctly, that adventurer had not yet ascended at the time."

Upon hearing this, the demon kings finally grasped the gravity of the matter.

An unascended adventurer killed a wounded version of the Bloodthirsty Demon God that was even stronger than the Purgatory Demon God!

And now, Xiao Feng exudes the aura of an Upper God!

How terrifying is that?

Simply unimaginable!

At that moment, the demon kings fell silent, no longer daring to utter a sound, their aura gone.

Seeing everyone silent, the Purgatory Demon God looked at Xiao Feng and asked: "Sir, what brings you here?"

Xiao Feng saw that the Purgatory Demon God was also a reasonable person, not wanting to beat around the bush, he said: "Quite simple—I want you never to set foot on the surface world, to stay within your own territory. Otherwise I will return at any time to purge the disobedient."

He did not want to personally slay these demon kings and demon gods.

Because it would benefit him nothing, and instead would cause all the top bosses of this plane to drop dead at once, leaving players with no targets to conquer.

The demon gods and demon kings here are the top bosses that players will later fight; each can inspire many to grow.

If slain, they would also drop plentiful good loot, giving players something to strive for in the future.

But such an arrangement is extremely cruel for the demon clan!

The Purgatory Demon God gave a wry smile: "You mean, you want us to sit and wait for death?"

Xiao Feng said: "Adventurers normally ascend to demi‑god realm and then fly up; few will come to deal with you. As long as you demon kings and demon gods don't take the initiative to go out, you should remain relatively safe."

That's also a plain truth: once players reach the required level, they want to go to higher‑level maps; nobody will linger here grinding.

Moreover, even if many demi‑god players appear later, wanting to deal with demon kings and demon gods remains quite difficult.

Furthermore, the demon clan's minor monsters and elites will keep respawning, which the demon kings and gods can still accept.

After speaking, Xiao Feng took Mi Nie Ya and Dai Ni Si and flew toward the dark demon god's lair, leaving the Purgatory Capital.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear!

【Detected that your divinity embryo has matured and is about to condense into a divinity crystal. Please engrave three skills onto the divinity; the remaining skills will be forgotten!】

Upon seeing this prompt, Xiao Feng froze instantly, his flight motion halting.

Seeing him suddenly stop, the Purgatory Demon God and others thought he regretted it, each becoming as if facing a great foe.

But shortly after, Xiao Feng slowly flew onward into the distance.

"Divinity matured… I never expected it to take this long to begin."

Just then, a system prompt tone suddenly rang in his ear!

【Detected that your divinity embryo has matured, about to condense into a divinity crystal. Please select three skills to inscribe onto the divinity; the remaining skills will be forgotten!】

As soon as this prompt appeared, Xiao Feng froze instantly, and his flying motion also came to a halt.

Seeing him suddenly stop, the Abyssal Demon Gods and others thought he had regretted it, each one bracing for a formidable foe.

But soon, Xiao Feng slowly flew off into the distance.

"Divinity maturity... I never expected it would take this long to begin."

Xiao Feng was very surprised.

He had become a god several days ago, yet his divinity had only just matured—it was truly somewhat unbelievable.

He recalled that Master La Luo Na Er had said before that the skills he learned through skill books were merely privileges granted by the Supreme God, not his true abilities.

After becoming a god, those privileges would disappear, and the path ahead would have to rely on himself.

Skills, too, must be studied by oneself! Otherwise, upon reaching the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, one would become a useless cripple with no skills, at the mercy of others!

And now, on the third day after becoming a god, this change has finally arrived, belatedly.
