Chapter 1553: Chapter 1443: Better to wrongfully kill millions than to let one person go!
Demon Realm!
Sea of Blood and Desolate Bones Domain!
A world completely enveloped by devil qi!
Tang Lei had acquired an unparalleled demonic weapon, likely a Chaos Supreme Treasure, shaking the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
All experts above the level of Demon Kings began a relentless pursuit of Tang Lei in the Demon Realm, hoping to claim this unmatched demonic weapon.
From the day he attained this supreme treasure, Tang Lei had been hunted continuously for nearly half a year!
Initially, it was the Demon Emperor leading a vast force of Demon Kings to pursue him.
But now, it was Demon Emperors and even Demon Saints chasing after him.
This had driven Tang Lei to the brink of despair!
If not for him accidentally obtaining the [Ethereal Transformation Concealment Art], which allowed him to easily alter his energy signature and appearance, he would have already been annihilated.
This [Ethereal Transformation Concealment Art] was incredibly powerful, capable of even altering soul frequency.
In truth, possessing such a supreme secret technique made it nearly impossible for even ordinary Saints to recognize his true identity.
But fate was cruel—this time, one of the Saints commanding the hunt against him had invited another Saint, an expert in divination and calculation.
As a result, in recent days, Tang Lei was completely cornered by the demonic fiends pursuing him in the Sea of Blood and Desolate Bones Domain.
Even his wife, Bu Yao, was gravely injured in an ambush during a joint attack with him, and now she teetered on the brink of death.
At present, Bu Yao was sealed within one of his personal Spatial Magic Items.
“Damn that Xuantian Demon Saint—I, Tang Lei, will remember this hatred! When my boss arrives, it will be the moment for me, Tang Lei, to take my revenge!” Within a mountain of corpses, Tang Lei had transformed into a blood-clad golden demon, his heart surging with frustration and suppressed fury.
If sacrificing this unparalleled demonic weapon could revive Bu Yao unharmed, Tang Lei would willingly give it up without question.
To walk the path of demonic cultivation did not mean he had abandoned his humanity.
Under Lv Zhong’s influence, even though he cultivated demons, he still followed the path of “emotion,” stubbornly holding on to his bonds, never swaying into emotionless detachment.
But Tang Lei knew that, even if he handed over the newly obtained unparalleled demonic weapon, the Xuantian Demon Saint and the other powerful pursuers would never spare his life.
Thus, he gave his all to outmaneuver and bide time against his enemies, even striving to escalate the chaos!
As he continued to be hunted, Tang Lei relied on a supreme demonic fortune he’d obtained to fight back in reverse using his own methods.
In just half a year, Tang Lei had killed countless foes. He had even managed to cross levels and annihilate a Lower-Rank Demon Emperor.
Even though he himself was only at the Lower Demon Emperor Realm, he successfully leaped across an entire major realm to slay a Lower-Rank Demon Emperor, causing an uproar and shaking the entirety of the Demon Realm!
However!
This still wasn’t enough!
Tang Lei needed to make the chaos even bigger!
Only then could he avoid having to
Seeing that his combat partner still didn’t believe him, Tang Lei smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t doubt it! I, Tang Lei, am not someone content with mediocrity, either. Think about it—I’ve reached the Lower Demon Emperor Realm in such a short time. My boss is heaven’s favored child. Back in the lower world, when he ascended, he faced a Super World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment with peak Golden Immortal cultivation. I was only at the Spirit Division Stage back then. Now I’m at the Lower Demon Emperor Realm, so why can’t my boss achieve Sainthood?”
The Black Sky Demon Mantis inwardly shook its head. To it, such reasoning simply didn’t compute! After all, prior to the Emperor level, one could rely on destiny and opportunities to somewhat close the gap. But once at the Emperor level, each small advancement required boundless amounts of time and the immense energy equivalent to entire star systems. Not to mention proving oneself as a Saint.
The gulf between realms was so vast that it required the energy of at least one-tenth of a universe to bridge.
Even if Tang Lei’s boss possessed vast, nearly inexhaustible energy supplies, what cultivation method could he possibly use to refine and absorb such power within a short time to achieve Sainthood?
The Black Sky Demon Mantis refused to believe that someone more monstrous than its former master could exist in this world.
As for the idea that Lv Zhong could dominate the heavens and myriad realms, this, to the mantis, was nothing more than an exaggerated rumor!
With a gaze as profound as the heavens, Tang Lei stared deeply at the Black Sky Demon Mantis, his bitter smile unwavering. He said, “Black Tian, some things I can’t disclose to you, but you only need to know this: Brother Zhong is my guide in cultivation and, more importantly, my eternal leader. His cultivation techniques are unparalleled. Furthermore, in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there’s no other Lv Zhong who can command an infinite army of the powerful Insect Clan. If you can’t believe in Brother Zhong, it’s as good as doubting me…”
“Of course I believe you, Young Master, but…” The Black Sky Demon Mantis nibbled at its tiny mandibles, still holding firm in its doubts.
It had once followed its unparalleled previous master, who was peerless in strength. In its heart, that master was a god beyond compare. To suddenly hear of someone like Lv Zhong with such unimaginable potential, it couldn’t help but instinctively generate a sense of counter-resistance and cautious suspicion.
It feared its faith might be shaken!
“No buts!” Tang Lei declared with solemn authority. “My boss is also your boss—and even your master! Trust me, just this once!”
“Fine!” Though it reluctantly agreed aloud, the Black Sky Demon Mantis couldn’t bring itself to see Lv Zhong as its boss, let alone its master.
What kind of nonsense was this? If it could recover even a tenth of its former strength, it would at least be equivalent to a First-Order Demon Saint. If it fully regained its power, it could easily kill Third-Order Saints.
It would never lower itself to acknowledge others!
“Boom!”
“Boom…!”
Suddenly, waves of violent explosions erupted, unleashing a massive shockwave that swept through the entire Sea of Blood and Desolate Bones Domain, like a colossally gigantic tidal force.
The planet Tang Lei was on seemed to quake violently under impact.
Next, the earth trembled and shattered, mountains collapsed, the blood sea boiled, and the death energy of corpse-mountains roared in fury.
“What’s happening? Could that scumbag Xuantian Demon Saint really be willing to destroy the entire Sea of Blood and Desolate Bones Domain just to kill us? This… this is a small star system! There are nearly billions of planets nearby!” The Black Sky Demon Mantis exclaimed in shock.
But Tang Lei’s face grew pale as he cried out in horror, “Damnit! That Xuantian Demon Saint and the others are utterly ruthless—they’ve adopted the ‘Better kill a billion wrongly than let one escape’ approach! These bastards are completely insane…”
