Chapter 427: The New Venerable of the Demon Realm

Chen Jingchou's right leg had long since gathered its attack, fully prepared for this very moment.

Taking advantage of the split second the Demon Lord was distracted, Chen Jingchou kicked him directly in the chest, sending the Demon Lord flying several meters away.

The Demon Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; for the first time in thousands of years, he felt what it was like to be beaten to the point of vomiting blood.

The Demon Lord was furious now; he wanted nothing more than to tear Chen Jingchou into ten thousand pieces.

Yet, he found himself unable to even crawl up; Chen Jingchou had used almost all his strength in that kick, leaving the Demon Lord severely wounded.

Chen Jingchou walked triumphantly before the Demon Lord and laughed loudly:

"Demon Lord, you never thought you would have a day like this, did you?

Today is the day you die!"

The Demon Lord looked at Chen Jingchou, harboring a lingering doubt.

After being infused with so much demonic power, why did Chen Jingchou still possess his sanity? It was precisely because Chen Jingchou's consciousness had not dissipated that the Demon Lord's efforts had fallen short, leading to his current predicament.

The Demon Lord spoke:

"Chen Jingchou, even in death, I wish to die with clarity.

Why does your sanity remain after I infused you with so much demonic power?

I do not believe that you, Chen Jingchou, could withstand the erosion of my demonic power."

In truth, Chen Jingchou did not know why this was the case either.

He simply assumed he was blessed with great fortune and was not destined to die.

Since Heaven would not let him, Chen Jingchou, be possessed by the Demon Lord, and had even allowed him to obtain such great power, he must make Yuwen Tuo, Duan Fengyun, and the others feel what it was like to be bullied.

Chen Jingchou could not wait to stand before Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo, to ravage and humiliate them, and let them know the power of Chen Jingchou.

However, Chen Jingchou would not tell the Demon Lord that he did not know why he had not lost his sanity.

Chen Jingchou laughed heartily:

"Haha, Demon Lord, you want to know, don't you?

But I simply won't tell you.

I want you to die with your eyes wide open in frustration!"

"You!"

The Demon Lord glared at Chen Jingchou.

At this moment, Chen Jingchou grabbed the Demon Lord's head with his claw, and under the massive suction force, the Demon Lord began to shrink until he was completely devoured by Chen Jingchou.

Chen Jingchou let out a long burp, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort.

This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of power.

Ning Ke, watching from the side, saw her Demon Father die tragically at Chen Jingchou's hands; immense hatred caused her to stand up from the ground once more.

Ning Ke rushed toward Chen Jingchou, but was grabbed by him, and Chen Jingchou immediately cast the Demon Seed upon her.

Chen Jingchou said to the Ning Ke who had been struck by the Demon Seed:

"Ning Ke, you had better be obedient, or I will make you experience a fate worse than death later."

Ning Ke refused to submit:

"Bah, Chen Jingchou, don't you dream.

I, Ning Ke, will never submit to a loser like you."

"Good!"

Chen Jingchou laughed, then looked coldly at Ning Ke. Ning Ke suddenly seemed to suffer some kind of stimulation, rolling on the ground in agony; the sight of her struggling between life and death was truly pitiful.

Just as Shuxiang was about to step forward to check on Ning Ke, she was stopped by Chen Jingchou's shout:

"Shuxiang, go call the people of the Demon Realm; today, this Venerable will tell them who the new master of the Demon Realm is!"

To distinguish himself from the Demon Lord, Chen Jingchou bestowed upon himself the title of Demon Venerable; from this day on, he, Chen Jingchou, was the Demon Venerable, Demon Venerable Chen Jingchou.

"Yes, Demon Venerable!"

Having witnessed everything, Shuxiang naturally knew that Chen Jingchou was not someone she could provoke now.

Shuxiang directly channeled her demonic power and shouted:

"The Five Great Protectors and Eight Great Heavenly Kings of the Demon Realm, come quickly to see the Demon Venerable!"

Hearing Shuxiang's voice, the Gold Protector, the Eight Great Heavenly Kings, and the others were bewildered; when had a Demon Venerable appeared in the Demon Realm?

Confused, they arrived at Chen Jingchou's location. Seeing Chen Jingchou, who now possessed the appearance of a pure Demon Race bloodline, and Ning Ke, who was writhing on the ground in agony, the Gold Protector asked Shuxiang:

"Shuxiang, why did you call us here?

Where is Lord Demon Lord?

And who is this?

Could the Demon Venerable you just mentioned be him?"

Shuxiang pointed at Chen Jingchou and said:

"Indeed, this is the new master of the Demon Realm, Demon Venerable Chen Jingchou.

The old Demon Lord has been defeated by the new Demon Venerable; from now on, the new Demon Venerable is in charge of the Demon Realm.

Hurry and join me in paying respects to the new Demon Venerable."

The Eight Great Heavenly Kings had originally only obeyed the Demon Lord out of fear of his martial might; now that they knew Chen Jingchou had defeated the Demon Lord, they naturally chose to be fence-sitters.

The Eight Great Heavenly Kings bowed directly:

"Greetings, Lord Demon Venerable."

Chen Jingchou nodded with satisfaction, then looked coldly at the Gold Protector and the Water Protector and said:

"What about you two!"

Protector Jin looked at Chen Jingchou and said with an expression of disbelief:

"What about the old Demon Lord? I don't believe he could be defeated by you.

I have never heard of the existence of any Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm; in our Demon Realm, there is only the Demon Lord.

Speak quickly, where have you taken the Demon Lord?

And what have you done to Lady Ning Ke?"

Protector Jin and the others were, after all, old subordinates who had followed the Demon Lord for thousands of years, and they were like brothers of life and death to him.

Now that they learned the Demon Lord had been defeated, they needed to determine whether he was alive or dead.

Chen Jingchou laughed and said:

"The strong are respected. Since this Venerable has defeated the Demon Lord, then this Venerable is naturally the strongest in the Demon Realm!

As for the Demon Lord, the defeated are bandits; he was unwilling to submit to this Venerable and has already been killed by this Venerable.

As for Ning Ke, she would not submit to this Venerable, so this Venerable merely used a small trick to make her submit.

If you choose not to submit, I would not mind using the same method on you that I used on Ning Ke."

Upon hearing that the Demon Lord had been killed, Protector Jin and Protector Water were filled with disbelief and rage; they did not believe their old brother could have been killed just like that by this unknown person before them.

They were also angry that this Demon Venerable spoke without any courtesy.

Protector Jin shouted loudly:

"Very well, Demon Venerable, we two brothers have offended you.

Let us two see just how much strength you, this Demon Venerable, possess to make us submit.

If you do not have the strength to make us submit, then you had better stop dreaming your grand dream of unifying the Demon Realm."

In truth, Protector Jin's words were also the thoughts of the Eight Great Heavenly Kings; after all, hearing is believing, and since they had not seen Chen Jingchou defeat the Demon Lord with their own eyes, they did not believe Chen Jingchou had defeated the Demon Lord through strength.

After all, the image of the invincible Demon Lord had been in their minds for thousands of years; how could they suddenly accept the fact that the Demon Lord had been defeated by Chen Jingchou?

They now intended to use Protector Jin's hand to see exactly how the Demon Lord had been defeated by Chen Jingchou.

Protector Jin directly unleashed waves of soul attacks, wanting to strike at Chen Jingchou's Spirit Sense. As a result, with just a simple glance, Protector Jin's attack was directly shattered by Chen Jingchou.

Having his attack broken, Protector Jin immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing this situation, everyone now understood that the strength of Chen Jingchou, this Demon Venerable, was genuinely formidable, and they were simply no match for him.

The Eight Great Heavenly Kings, now convinced and submissive, cheered:

"The Demon Venerable's divine arts are peerless; we are in awe!"

After a cold laugh, Chen Jingchou looked toward Protector Jin and Protector Water again and said:

"How about it? Now you should be convinced, right?"

Just as Protector Jin wanted to argue with Chen Jingchou, he was pulled back by Protector Water, who said:

"Big Brother, as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood.

The strength of this Demon Venerable right now is simply not something we can resist.

We had better obediently admit defeat; as for the Demon Lord's revenge, we shall find another way to exact it."

Protector Water had always been steady in character, so at this juncture, he told Protector Jin the pros and cons of the situation, urging him to think thrice before acting.

Protector Jin looked at Protector Water, then looked at Ning Ke, who was lying on the ground in unbearable pain, and he finally made his choice.

He spoke up:

"Demon Venerable, if you want me to submit to you, I have only one condition. As long as you agree to this condition, we two brothers will submit to you."

"Oh?

You actually dare to propose a condition to me? However, I will give you a chance. Tell me, what is your condition?

This Venerable would like to see what kind of condition you will propose."

Chen Jingchou had not expected that even now, Protector Jin would still dare to propose a condition to him.

However, just as Chen Jingchou said, he wanted to see what condition this Protector Jin dared to propose to him.

Protector Jin pointed at Ning Ke and said:

"Ning Ke is the Demon Lord's only daughter. I hope the Demon Venerable can show mercy and spare Ning Ke, and we two brothers are willing to submit to you, Demon Venerable, unconditionally."

Chen Jingchou looked at Protector Jin; he had not expected that there would still be such a loyal and righteous person in the Demon Realm.

Chen Jingchou could not help but think of his former self.

He, too, had once been this loyal and righteous, willing to sacrifice everything for his brothers, but in the end, he discovered that he was merely a clown.

The brothers he had fought tooth and nail to protect had, in the end, been using him all along.

However, looking at this loyal and righteous Protector Jin, Chen Jingchou still felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, and he said:

"Very well, for the sake of your loyalty and righteousness, this Venerable will spare Ning Ke today."

Having said this, Chen Jingchou struck Ning Ke with a burst of Demon Energy, erasing the Demon Seed within her body.

Chen Jingchou looked at the Eight Great Heavenly Kings and the others, who were filled with fear, and only then did he understand what it meant to be high and mighty.

He truly loved this feeling; this feeling of being looked up to and feared was truly exhilarating.

Now that the Demon Realm was in his hands, he would fulfill the wish the Demon Lord had never completed: to trample the Human Realm and dominate the Human Realm, Demon Realm, and God Realm!

Chen Jingchou knew that to trample the Human Realm, he only needed to deal with three people.

Duan Fengyun, Yuwen Tuo, and Guyue Xianren—these three people all had a profound influence on Chen Jingchou.

In Chen Jingchou's heart, these three were all must-kill targets; Chen Jingchou intended to step on the corpses of these three to fulfill his ambition of dominating the Human Realm, Demon Realm, and God Realm.

Chen Jingchou looked at Shuxiang and asked:

"Shuxiang, where are Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo now?

They are the two biggest stumbling blocks on this Venerable's path to dominating the Human Realm, Demon Realm, and God Realm. This Venerable will trample them underfoot one by one, making them stepping stones for this Venerable to dominate the Human Realm, Demon Realm, and God Realm!"
