Chapter 285: Can We Ask Him to Take It Back?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

War Demon Lei Tian had killed the Wolf Demon. The Demonic Realm seemed pretty satisfied about that and began to fuse with him. It was as if he became the personification of the Heaven’s Path of the Demonic Realm.

Usually, wise men like the Azure Mountain’s master would lock themselves in the Arcane Realm and wait for their enemies to jump to their death in their realm, but Lei Tian was not a usual demon!

His Demonic Energy was fear-inspiring as he stepped out of the stone palace.

He arrived at the portal. The sound of muffled thunder kept warning him about the dangers outside.

He smiled slightly. “So what about danger? If I’m afraid of some danger, I wouldn’t have chosen to descend… Those demon lords can’t order me around.”

Then, he stepped out of the portal without even glancing back.

The Demonic Realm shook, sending black sand flying all around. It was like the Realm was furious.

Whoever made the decision would have to bear the consequences…

In the next minute, he returned with an even faster speed than when he had left.

He said calmly, “Oh, they’re not going to fight one-to-one, ah well. I like battling, but I don’t have the preference to torture myself.”

The Demonic Realm rapidly quietened as if to praise his wisdom.

At this point, there were already plenty of powerhouses waiting outside the Demonic Realm.

A palm-sized great green insect was fleeting about with some snack in its arms; one of the top Lake-level powerhouses…

Calm and composed, a yellow dog sat by the stream; Lake-level powerhouse.

Qiao Anping with his sanguine aura; Lake-level powerhouse.

Bodhisattva Spirit King with his kind-looking face; probably Lake-level powerhouse.

A thirty-meter-long Sky Eagle circled the island valiantly; could be a Lake-level powerhouse.

Brett, the black dog, carried a fish tank on its back, its eyes shining; Pond-level powerhouse at its peak.

White mist surrounded Qiao Zishan; Pond-level intermediate powerhouse.

Xue Feng with his sword; Pond-level powerhouse.

A snowy white hamster laid on a smooth rock nibbling; Pond-level powerhouse.

Smiling calmly, Zheng Dao did not make much noise, but even he had achieved a Pond-level cultivation base.

The rest were Basin-level fighters like Qiao Zijiang. They could not hold much water, and so they were pretty negligible.

…

They formed a half-moon formation around the portal, which was glowing slightly.

Among them was Vigilante A with his stoic face. He was a Lake-level powerhouse at its peak, the Eastern Pharos, a true dragon, and the strongest fighter on Earth.

He stood in the middle of them, staring straight at the portal. It was as if the so-called Will of the Demonic Realm, the Heaven’s Path of a small world, was nothing to him.

As the saying goes, the sea owes its size to its willingness to accommodate hundreds of rivers; A cliff owes its height to its lack of avarice to expand more than it could. It was that simple. 1

…

Calm waves caressed the island as the sun warmed the waters. Occasionally, white fish would break the surface as they leaped out from beneath.

Just from this scenery, no one would have guessed a huge battle would be happening in a few moments.

Ren Ruofeng hovered in mid-air, observing enviously as Vigilante A showed off his almost action-movie-like entourage and superstar stature.

He, on the other hand, was anxiously calculating the vitality nodes of the island as he toiled around the island.

‘It used to be me who just gave orders and wait for my subordinates to complete the tasks.

‘Now, it’s my turn to become a coolie.

‘With the many secrets I hold for the Truth Department, I could only live in peace with the Venerable Dragon God protecting me. Now that he asked for help, I had to come.

‘Favors are the hardest to return.’

He smiled wryly and returned to his calculations.

Calculations of vitality nodes like this had almost nothing to do with their strength, it was more about individual knowledge and wisdom.

It was not something one would learn just by being powerful, the same as not expecting a martial arts expert to also master the Eight-diagram Tactics of Nine Directions 2 .

He had done it before, so this time, Ren Ruofeng could do it much faster than before.

He summoned the jade white piglet sculpture. It was an artifact from the Upper Realm that specializes in scouting and communication.

When it was summoned, the sculpture was glowing red as it released illuminating beams of scarlet all around.

Under the guidance of the red light beams, the method through which the Demonic Realm absorbed vitality from the atmosphere was outlined.

While the jade white piglet sculpture worked, it was also sending a message to Ren Ruofeng. “I say, Oldman Ren, we’ve promised. After this, you’ll let me go home to marry. You’ve retired anyway, you don’t need me much anymore.”

Ren Ruofeng sighed and said, “I know, pighead.”

The jade white piglet sculpture was satisfied, so it worked even harder than before.

Due to the imminent parting, the sculpture was talkative.

“I say, Oldman Ren, I never understood some things. You’ve told your wife that Tian Zhu was pregnant because I used Divine Law and has no blood relation with you, but why does she not believe you? Why did she use the Great Reversal of Heaven And Earth to annoy you?”

Ren Ruofeng was silent.

“Seeing how I’ve toiled for you for so many years, tell me so I can learn to avoid mistakes like yours in the future. It’s hard for Sapient Tools like me to find a partner. Unlike you, you can have many partners to choose from…”

Ren Ruofeng said slowly, “What do you want to learn? You only need three words, ‘don’t be greedy.’ Let me tell you, if you have any disagreement in the future, don’t reason with your wife, just remember to place her first.

“I’ve only understood it recently myself. It’s not that she didn’t believe me, but she felt wronged. She’s a prodigy with plenty of knowledge on her own. She had always seen herself as a talented woman and was really proud of that fact.

“Ten years ago, after I’d cultivated Evergreen Supreme Technique, I hid that fact from her for almost ten years. Now that Tian Zhu showed up with the child, and I want her to accept Tian Zhu for the child, how could she continue to endure that?

“It’s all my fault.”

The jade white piglet sculpture was stunned. “My gosh, even you with an IQ of four hundred had trouble understanding it, I would have no chance of ever understanding it myself. I think it’s better if I stayed with you.”

Ren Ruofeng nodded. “That’s right, pighead. Remember, we shall avoid any places that women appear, that would make our lives so much easier. The Venerable Dragon God had always been alone, so that’s why he was called the Eastern Pharos, he is the light tower for us.”

The jade white piglet sculpture nodded, feeling wary.

As they were conversing, they did not realize a black aura slowly formed above the sea.

“Look out!” The jade white piglet sculpture yelped.

In the next moment, the reflection of steel flashed and struck Ren Ruofeng who was still talking to it…

Ren Ruofeng was shocked. He pressed against his chest where a deep gash nearly split him into two halves.

Powerless, he fell from the air into the sea.

A disdainful voice said, “I didn’t want to kill weaklings like you, especially not with surprise attacks. You’re not worth the energy. However, that thing said your threat is the strongest, so I have to do it this way.

“But you do surprise me. I thought I would only need one hit to slice you in half. Just remember to get stronger before seeking revenge with me after you’ve been reborn.

“I am the War Demon, Lei Tian. I will be waiting for you in this Demonic Realm…”

The voice was Lei Tian’s, undoubtedly. He had already snuck out of the Demonic Realm without other people knowing with the help of the Heaven’s Path of the realm.

However, his tone changed immediately.

“Damn all of you sly bastards!”

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already appeared in the air…

Hovering above the sea, his black armor was especially obvious under the hot tropical sun. Just as he had said, he was not the kind to launch surprise attacks…

A massive number of attacks sprung at him from all directions!

Ice blades, blood swords, and white aura dominated his sight. Each of the attacks was fatal, but he was a War Demon, so he dodged each one with relative ease, smirking arrogantly.

However, just as he had evaded the attacks, his eyes widened in shock as he quickly turned toward the sky.

A dragon-shaped sword had appeared silently at high altitude.

It did not shine, and the blade was narrow and short. It was unknown when it had formed, but at the moment, it was piercing through the air toward him at extremely high speed!

The sword itself was simple and unpretentious, but it had locked onto him unwaveringly. Unlike inside the Demonic Realm, he could feel the whole world was helping the sword!

The sky was blue and clear, the sea was swaying gently, the sun shone brightly, the sea breeze blew wildly.

“Under the right circumstance, even the heavens and the earth will help one achieve their objective.” That old saying was perfect in describing the force of that sword strike!

At this moment, Vigilante A had already moved from his place in front of the portal.

“Demon! You have occupied the Demonic Realm and attempted to afflict the world with your poisonous intention, you shall be executed by fate!”

“I! Don’t! Accept! Fate!”

After War Demon Lei Tian had yelled out the four words, he used his full power to activate his strongest ability, Phantasm.

In a split second, thousands of humans appeared, standing on the sea. There were big, strong men, indifferent-looking boys, hot-blooded teenagers, and wise-looking octogenarians, among others.

However, none of these were able to deceive the sword of heaven and earth!

Ignoring all the other bodies, it shot straight at a fish near the surface of the sea!

The fish transformed into Lei Tian involuntarily. He looked at the sword in his chest with shock on his face. Soon after, a hint of satisfaction colored his face as well.

His power of a peak Lake-level was not able to even hold its own against the dragon-shaped sword!

This was hard for him to believe, but it was not hard to accept.

Vigilante A was the number-one fighter on Earth. As a true dragon and a Descended One, he should have that ability!

“Good, I’ve finally tasted the stench of death. Really good. I was defeated in the hands of a true dragon, this didn’t undermine my honor.”

“However,” he said while staring down at the people surrounding him, “do you think you can kill me just like that?”

In the chaos of it all, he yelled, “As long as the path of demons exists, Lei Tian will not die. I want this world to have hordes of demons thriving in chaos, spreading strife and bloodshed. I, Lei Tian, will be back to take on the world for another thousand years!”

Finishing that, every inch of his body exploded into pure Demonic Energy clouds, each of them as black as coal, and shot out to different corners of the world.

Everyone had tried to stop it, but those energy clouds dissipated mysteriously, not giving anyone a chance to contain it.

Most other people felt that was not very serious. After all, it was just a dying demon cursing the world…

That scene was far too familiar for those who followed the Eastern Pharos.

However, Bodhisattva Spirit King’s face was serious. He did not send messages telepathically to anybody else but Vigilante A.

“Brother Dragon, the demon’s words seemed to have obtained the approval of the world. It may be a different world in the future where strife is rampant. Looks like the Heaven’s Path of this world actually encourage competitiveness and killing and not kindness as was so oft’ quoted. It didn’t want to see humans living peacefully…

“If humans have competitiveness, it would side with humans, if they were not fulfilling that, it would support other clans. Perhaps even demons, it doesn’t distinguish between them.”

Vigilante A replied calmly, “Is that so? Looks like I should work overtime then.”

Bodhisattva Spirit King laughed. ‘That’s right. Brother Dragon’s Path of Heavenly Punishment must have a better understanding of the Heaven’s Path. Competition and killing, isn’t that his specialty?’

He nodded, saying, “So we’ll count on you, Brother Dragon. Once this demon is gone, the Demonic Realm is masterless and could no longer wield its full power. We can now enter and suppress it.”

Fang Ning said worryingly to the System, “Can you stop showing off that much? If that demon’s curse could be recognized by the Heaven’s Path, it would not be good for us.”

The System replied, “That’s right, it would. He said that demons will thrive in chaos, your internet-less days would become a normal occurrence. To you, that would be most disconcerting.”

Fang Ning was speechless. “Dammit. So what can we do?”

The System said, “I don’t know, but I know someone who does.”

Fang Ning rolled his eyes. ‘This idiot learns fast.’

He nodded and said, “You mean Lei Tian who we had just locked in the isolation cell? I’ll go ask and see if he can take his words back?”
