"Cutting off the roots of my Demon God Clan, do you really think it’s settled just with your words?!"
The Demon God King roared, his gaze fixated on Elder Tianxin, whose protection of Mo Wangchen further fueled his rage.
"This was always a conflict between peers, and besides, Yao Suming’s cultivation was far superior to Mo Wangchen’s. He was just too arrogant, which led to such an outcome."
Elder Tianxin’s expression calmed down, firmly protecting Mo Wangchen from any mishap, "Today, as long as I am here, you cannot touch him!"
The faces of everyone present were filled with surprise; Elder Tianxin’s strong stance was indisputable, even the current Demon God King would have been powerless.
"Good! Very good!" The Demon God King’s expression darkened to the extreme, "Heavenly God Institute, I’ll remember this!"
As the words fell, he reached out into the air, and Yao Suming’s headless corpse, which had smashed to the ground, slowly floated in front of him.
Looking at his own deceased son, immense grief flashed through the Demon God King’s eyes, but ultimately, he took a deep breath and collected Yao Suming’s corpse into a Magical Treasure.
"You haven’t forgotten about your friend from the Dragon Clan, have you?"
Before leaving, the Demon God King’s gaze suddenly shifted to Mo Wangchen as he spoke.
"Friend from the Dragon Clan?"
Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brows, immediately thinking of a figure, "Aotian?"
"What have you done to him?!"
The Demon God King’s words undeniably indicated that Aotian was currently in his grasp.
Originally, when the Ancient Road opened, Aotian and Zhang Hao had chosen the second path. Inside the Ancient Road, there was Essence Blood from an Ancient King, but it caused the path to fracture due to conflict with Yao Wuliang and others.
Although Zhang Hao safely made it to Heavenly Gang, Aotian had since been without a trace, which worried Mo Wangchen.
Unexpectedly, now in the words of the Demon God King, he heard information about Aotian—this was not a good sign.
"Haha, that lad, though a Jiao Long descendent, carries the pure bloodline of a True Dragon. Moreover, it seems he had obtained Essence Blood from a great power of the Dragon Clan’s ancient predecessors, and after ingesting it, his bloodline has become even purer."
The Demon God King, his eyes filled with a cold gleam, stared at Mo Wangchen and continued, "Currently, he is imprisoned within our Demon God Clan. I am using the Sky Refining Divine Furnace to refine him, trying to extract Essence Blood from his body. I have to say, the lad does have some integrity; he has been struggling in the divine furnace for months, still holding on."
"However, as I see it, perhaps in another month, he won’t hold on any longer..."
"If anything happens to Aotian, I swear, I will completely eradicate your Demon God Clan!" Mo Wangchen shouted, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Once Aotian can no longer hold on, not only would the Demon God Clan obtain his Essence Blood, but his very life would also be in grave danger.
"Hahahahahaha! If you’re capable, just try and save him. Remember, you have only one month!"
The Demon God King burst into laughter, which echoed in all directions, his figure had already vanished without a trace, completely disappearing from the scene.
When Mo Wangchen returned to the ground, Bai Jincheng and others had already approached; Zhang Hao frowned, not expecting that Aotian had fallen into the hands of the Demon God Clan, no wonder there had been no news of him.
Mo Wangchen’s fist clenched slightly, but his face was terrifyingly calm. Finally, he took a deep breath and said to Bai Jincheng and the others, "You go ahead with the assessment first. As for saving Aotian, we will figure it out after entering the Heavenly God Institute."
"Clearly, the Demon God Clan is setting a trap for you. Going there would be no different than entering a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den." Not far away, even Ji Ziyao couldn’t help but speak up, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Even if it is a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, I have no choice but to go." Mo Wangchen shook his head, as loyalty was of utmost importance to him.
He could not ignore Aotian’s situation, especially since he had promised Aotian’s mother in the Fallen Immortal Forest that he would not let anything happen to him.
If he were to ignore it now, Mo Wangchen’s conscience would not be at peace!
Hearing his words, Ji Ziyao fell silent. She looked at Mo Wangchen, her gaze revealing a strange brilliance. Who exactly was this man in front of her?
Had they known each other before, and what was their relationship?
"The Divine King Body truly lives up to its reputation. Today, I have witnessed it firsthand."
Just then, from a certain direction in the distance, Ye Lang’s voice faintly carried over. Yao Wuliang and Zhou Tong, who stood behind him, now looked at Mo Wangchen with eyes filled with wariness.
"You should be glad that the person who struck at me just now was not you." Mo Wangchen turned his gaze their way, his voice equally gentle.
Ye Lang suddenly sneered, "Heh, I admit, you indeed pose a threat to me, and even Yao Suming, who had sacrificed Demon God Bloodline, died by your hands. But to kill me, you still lack something."
"Your arrogance is just like Yao Suming’s; it’s no wonder you two get along so well."
Mo Wangchen scoffed coldly, "Don’t worry, if I could kill him, I can certainly kill you as well. You’d better be careful."
"We’ll just have to see in time," Ye Lang said eventually, no longer wasting words. The future was long, and in the Heavenly God Institute, he would have plenty of time to target Mo Wangchen.
Moreover, due to Aotian’s matter, Mo Wangchen would surely try to venture into that dragon’s lair and tiger’s den within a month, and that would be the time of his demise.
"Even Yao Suming, who had the Demon God Body, has been slain; what physique in this world could possibly rival the Divine King Body?"
"The rise of this young man is now unstoppable. If the Demon God Clan can’t use that death trap to completely kill him within the next month, fearing that afterward, no one will be capable of stopping Mo Wangchen."
"The Demon God Clan is like a dragon’s lair and tiger’s den, and the Demon God King is an unparalleled mighty power in the world. If the Divine King Body dares to go, he will surely perish." Many from the Ancient Royal Family spoke out.
They did not believe that Mo Wangchen could be powerful enough to face the Demon God Clan, which was presided over by the Demon God King.
And if he dared to go, the Demon God Clan would surely set up numerous Killing Arrays to trap and kill him. It was an inescapable death trap, and even if the Divine King Body had Sky-Reaching Technique, there would still be no chance of survival.
As Ye Lang and the others left, the upheaval soon completely subsided.
The Lingyun Heavenly Ladder towered into the clouds, now glowing with Seven-Colored Rosy Clouds, seemingly filled with endless Immortal Might.
"Now, let the assessment begin." Finally, when everyone’s attention returned to the matter of the assessment, Elder Tianxin scanned the crowd and spoke out loud.
As his words fell, a vast crowd bustled and moved swiftly towards the direction of the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder.
All eyes carried a special gleam; the Heavenly God Institute was the cradle for geniuses. If one could enter, not only could they make their name known, but the most enticing aspect was the chance to attain Divine Status after joining the institute.
That was the essential item for achieving godhood!
