Chapter 925: The Art of Demonic Blood Transformation (Second update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng did not make any attempt to conceal himself; his consciousness entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings directly.

In fact, it was impossible to conceal anything in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings at all.

As Li Zhangsheng's consciousness stepped into the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, a new throne wreathed in golden light had appeared at the end of the numerous thrones on the third level, symbolizing that the world had gained another Emperor Rank.

This throne was carved with dragons and phoenixes, resembling an imperial throne of the mortal world, yet compared to the thrones on the first two levels, it appeared inferior.

However, for the various Emperor Ranks present, these were not the main points.

The main point was naturally Li Zhangsheng himself!

Most of the Emperor Ranks present did not know Li Zhangsheng, but the appearance of one's consciousness could not be faked; they could see that Li Zhangsheng was extremely young, one could even say unprecedentedly young.

Youth was capital, symbolizing greater possibilities for further advancement in the future.

At the first moment, Li Zhangsheng sat on his own throne, and a stream of information was immediately received by his consciousness.

This information was all about the many aspects of the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings; one could not fight within the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, and its greatest function was that it could be used for communication.

At the same time, this was also the main place for the various Emperor Ranks to interact and trade.

Li Zhangsheng sat on the throne and looked around; his throne was located at the far right, and on the throne to his left sat a young female Emperor Rank, who was, crucially, an acquaintance of his.

That's right, it was none other than the fifty-ninth direct granddaughter of the Profound Emperor—Yan Wanling.

Judging from Yan Wanling's seat, the seating arrangement of the Emperor Ranks was entirely based on the order of arrival, yet there was no distinction of status between them.

Yan Wanling was clearly struck by this, wearing a bitter smile on her face; originally, she had wanted to wash away her shame next year, but now that Li Zhangsheng had advanced to Emperor Rank, she was even less of a match for him, with almost no hope of victory at all.

"Since there is a Zhou, why must there be a Liang?" This was the reflection of Yan Wanling's inner thoughts.

She was already very young, but Li Zhangsheng was several years younger than her, and the key was that he was also stronger than her; what could she use to wash away her shame?

Yan Wanling could already be certain that, barring any accidents, Li Zhangsheng would consecutively hold the seat of the number one person in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm for eleven sessions; how could this not make Yan Wanling feel despair?

Li Zhangsheng nodded toward Yan Wanling, counting as a greeting, and then began to survey his surroundings.

Most of the Emperor Ranks showed friendly gazes; Li Zhangsheng could become an Emperor Rank at such a young age, so his future prospects were limitless. Unless it involved their own interests, they would not take the initiative to offend Li Zhangsheng; instead, they would deliberately try to befriend him.

However, there were also a small number of Emperor Ranks who showed angry and hostile gazes, among whom the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong was the most prominent, and he made no effort to hide his killing intent toward him.

Li Zhangsheng remembered these few Emperor Ranks; apart from the Dark Night King, the Flame King Qin Mingqing, and the Butterfly King Luo Qingning, he did not recognize any of the others, nor did he know where he had offended them.

The Flame King Qin Mingqing and the Butterfly King Luo Qingning looked at each other helplessly; because the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong was present, they could only pretend to be hostile toward Li Zhangsheng.

At this moment, an Emperor Rank with crane-like hair and a youthful face was the first to break the silence: "After several months, I didn't expect the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings to add another Emperor Rank; this is truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion!"

"Congratulations, may I ask your name?"

"You look a bit familiar!"

……

At this time, more than a dozen other Emperor Ranks also showed goodwill, wanting to befriend Li Zhangsheng; anyone could see the potential Li Zhangsheng possessed, so they naturally had to deliberately befriend him while he was still an Emperor Rank, otherwise, if they waited until he advanced further, there would never be such a good opportunity again.

The Emperor Ranks present were almost all shrewd people who had lived for hundreds of years; how could they not understand such a simple truth?

However, just at this moment, the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong's sinister voice rang out: "Li Zhangsheng, I didn't expect you to become an Emperor Rank so quickly. A 19-year-old Emperor Rank—I fear this is unprecedented and will never be repeated. It seems your secrets are truly not small. Once the three-month period passes, that will be the time of your death!"

As soon as Dou Cangqiong finished speaking, those Emperor Ranks who did not know Li Zhangsheng's exact age were all shocked; they knew Li Zhangsheng was very young, but they just didn't expect the other party to be only 19 years old.

Before Li Zhangsheng became an Emperor Rank, the record holder for the youngest Emperor Rank was the Human Emperor, but even the Human Emperor of that time had advanced to Emperor Rank at 22, while Li Zhangsheng had forcefully refreshed this record to 19. Just as Dou Cangqiong said, it was feared that no one would be able to refresh this record again in the future.

At the same time, some Emperor Ranks could not help but reveal looks of greed; with Li Zhangsheng being so young, he likely possessed great secrets.

Besides this, there were also some Emperor Ranks looking at Dou Cangqiong with uncertainty; from Dou Cangqiong's tone, they could clearly feel hatred.

For a time, the Emperor Ranks who had originally wanted to befriend Li Zhangsheng all fell silent.

With just a single sentence, Dou Cangqiong had used a public scheme to plot against Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng frowned deeply, not expecting the Dark Night King to pull such a stunt. If he didn't handle this well, it could potentially bring him great trouble.

Li Zhangsheng's thoughts turned rapidly, and relying on the 'inherited knowledge' of the various Emperor Ranks, he immediately found a way.

"You think I didn't want to become an Emperor Rank step by step, instead of using the Demonic Blood Transformation Art to become an Emperor Rank at the cost of massive amounts of lifespan and treasures? But being targeted by a Double-Character King, if I didn't become an Emperor Rank as quickly as possible, I fear I wouldn't even have a chance to resist."

Li Zhangsheng's words were half-true and half-false; he naturally had not used the Demonic Blood Transformation Art, but it was merely to provide a somewhat reasonable explanation to dispel the greed of the other Emperor Ranks as much as possible and save himself some trouble.

The Demonic Blood Transformation Art was information from the Treasure King's memories; it was a very demonic technique that could increase the possibility of a Demon Pet advancing by consuming a massive amount of lifespan and treasures.

However, this was entirely gambling, because only a very small number of lucky individuals could become Emperor Ranks through the Demonic Blood Transformation Art, and the aftereffects were quite significant; even if one successfully advanced to Emperor Rank, the upper limit of their lifespan would not increase.

In other words, for Emperor Ranks who advanced using the Demonic Blood Transformation Art, unless they advanced again to become a Double-Character King, their maximum lifespan was basically limited to within one hundred years.

Upon learning that Li Zhangsheng had become an Emperor Rank using the Demonic Blood Transformation Art, most of the Emperor Ranks revealed looks of sudden realization and could not help but look at Li Zhangsheng with pity.

Of course, there were also some Emperor Ranks who did not fully believe it and instead watched him with suspicious eyes.

Yan Wanling, however, clearly did not believe it, because she had fought a match with Li Zhangsheng in the Secret Realm and knew that the Li Zhangsheng at that time had already met the most difficult conditions for advancing to Emperor Rank.

However, because Li Zhangsheng had kept her secret after it ended, Yan Wanling felt she owed Li Zhangsheng a favor, so she did not speak up.

"Dark Night King, you dare to touch someone from our Human Emperor Mansion?"

Just at this moment, a voice like a thunderclap rang out in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.
