Chapter 398: The Crown Prince Ascends the Throne, and the Demon Race Shall Rise

At this moment, Demon Emperor City fell into immense confusion.

Huh?

No matter how calculating they were in their daily lives, at this moment, they were all left with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the youth in the sky.

"Wait, he is not only the Phoenix Divine Son, but also the Tianhu Shenzi?"

"This, how is this possible?"

"The Crown Prince has the bloodlines of two Demon Gods in his body?"

Huh?

This, is it really possible?

Demon God bloodlines are incomparably precious; obtaining one is already an extremely difficult matter.

It is not as if there have been no cases of two Demon Gods mating to produce offspring, but the talent of the offspring is often not as strong as the parents.

Although both bloodlines are top-tier, the two types of bloodlines will conflict with each other, ultimately affecting the potential of the offspring...

But now, someone is actually able to perfectly possess both?

That scene where the sun and moon shine in mutual brilliance has not the slightest bit of disharmony; on the contrary, they complement each other perfectly.

Reason tells them this is simply impossible, yet the reality before their eyes forces them to believe it.

This is real!

Suddenly, someone recalled a detail they had previously overlooked.

"Right! Before the Crown Prince went into seclusion this time, he said he had obtained a top-tier Demon Fruit from the State Preceptor."

"Not only that, this is the first time he has consumed a Demon Fruit since birth; perhaps it will stimulate his hidden potential..."

All the Demon Race know that the effect of consuming a Demon Fruit for the first time is the best, and the effect on improving aptitude is the greatest.

"But even so, this is too exaggerated!"

"To actually have the Tianhu Demon God bloodline within his body completely awakened as well!!?"

Let alone others, even the State Preceptor who gave Ren Yidao the Demon Fruit was completely bewildered at this moment.

"Huh?"

"This, huh? This, this, this..."

Sitting alone in the secret chamber, the usually calculating State Preceptor was completely dumbfounded.

He did not even know when he had plucked out a strand of his own beard, his eyes blinking incessantly.

"Is the effect of that Demon Fruit I gave him really this strong?"

Was the Demon Fruit I raised actually this powerful?

"No, what on earth is going on here? This, it's completely different from what I thought!!?"

The State Preceptor had never anticipated such a development.

The current scene was completely different from the development the State Preceptor had expected.

It was entirely and completely different!

There was not a single point of similarity!

When the State Preceptor handed that Demon Fruit to Ren Yidao, it was purely a casual act, a welcoming gift that had some weight but was not too precious.

It was so that the "reward" of the *Ten Thousand Ways Body-Melding Art* would not seem too thin; it was purely an added bonus.

But what was the result?

That guy turned around and took the Demon Fruit to find He Shou, and then began to use the Demon Fruit as the main ingredient to refine pills.

At the time, the State Preceptor was still secretly mocking this Crown Prince for his lack of experience, actually getting involved with that guy He Shou for something of this grade; he did not know how much suffering he would endure in the future because of today's events.

He did not advise the Crown Prince against trading with He Shou; on one hand, he was too lazy to speak up, and on the other, he did not want to become enemies with He Shou.

That Evil Dao practitioner who could debate the Dao with him for many days was definitely more than he appeared on the surface; he was either at the Formless Peak or a hidden Asking Dao expert.

But he never imagined that the Evil Dao practitioner's pill-refining technique was even more astonishing than he had previously shown.

"To actually be able to refine a pill with such astonishing effects, has that Evil Dao practitioner's strength improved again?"

The current situation left the State Preceptor feeling a bit uncertain, but he did not intend to step forward, preparing to continue maintaining his own unfathomable image.

Regardless of whether he truly intended this, he had to display such a posture.

Because as long as he did not explain, others would come up with a reasonable answer themselves.

Was the Demon Fruit obtained by the Crown Prince from the State Preceptor?

It was.

Did the Crown Prince perform the disciple's salute to the State Preceptor, treating him as a master?

That was also true.

Then there was no problem.

That's right!

The State Preceptor had long anticipated today's scene, and even... this scene was actually orchestrated by him!

This kind of operation was something the State Preceptor was already well-versed in; there would be no unease at all.

"However, this Crown Prince... really exceeds my expectations time and time again."

Even with the State Preceptor's state of mind, he could not help but sigh at this moment.

"He is truly worthy of being a heaven-sent talent."

"It's just, this is truly a pity."

The State Preceptor hesitated for a moment, then completely forgot the bit of softness in his heart.

Even if it were a pity, it could not compare to his grand plan.

"If you had appeared earlier, there might have been some room for a turnaround, but now... it is already too late."

"I, too, was once loyal and upright, but alas, time does not wait for me... Sigh!"

No one knew the thoughts in the State Preceptor's heart; at this moment, Demon Emperor City had already been seized by Ren Yidao and had fallen into a state of fanaticism.

"Crown Prince! Crown Prince! Crown Prince!"

Even if there might still be some doubts in the hearts of these people, regardless, everyone had realized one thing.

"This Crown Prince Highness is a true talent gifted by Heaven!"

At the same time, an identical thought flashed through the minds of countless people.

This Crown Prince, who had returned to the Demon Race not long ago, was the true key to the Demon Race's desire for revival.

"If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Demon Race shall flourish!"

Since he possessed such natural talent, as long as he could grow up safely, the revival of the Demon Race was basically a certainty.

The great cause is within reach!

After the atmosphere gradually reached its climax, Ren Yidao knew the timing was just about right and finally stopped his performance.

He dispersed the two phantoms behind him, a smile on his lips, and slowly descended from the sky.

He waved gently at the ten thousand demons watching him and said softly, "Everyone, you have worked hard."

"I have already understood your expectations, and I will certainly not let you down..."

But just as Ren Yidao opened his mouth, Cang Hai's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed toward him violently.

!!!

No one knew what Cang Hai was going to do, but they could not allow this fellow to act presumptuously!

"Cang Hai!!! What are you doing!!?"

In an instant, countless hands reached out to intercept him; even if Cang Hai's speed was fast, it could not outpace divine abilities, and he was bound directly.

"Get lost!!!"

But the restrained Cang Hai roared in a loss of composure:

"A bunch of idiots! Why are you stopping me!!?"

His eyes were splitting, and he roared wildly at Ren Yidao:

"Behind you!!!"

"Your Highness!"

"Watch out behind you!!!"

Only then did the others finally notice the problem; behind him, an invisible blade was closing in on the back of his head!

Someone wanted to kill the Crown Prince!!!

And Ren Yidao also realized the problem, turning around at the last moment... his hands crossed, his expression serious as he struggled to block it.

Ssh—

But that blade easily pierced through his palms, its speed not slowing in the slightest, continuing to strike straight at his brow.

Cang Hai was furious, watching helplessly as the flesh and blood at Ren Yidao's brow split open, revealing ghastly white bone.

"No!!!"
