Submit or Die
Under the horrified gaze of the Heartless Devil Emperor, Chen Ning opened his mouth and let out a Dragon Roar, and terrifying dragon flames engulfed the Heartless Devil Emperor.
Watching the Heartless Devil Emperor being continuously burned in the dragon flames.
The Dark Devil King, who was not far away, raised his head, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He... he actually managed to slay the Demon Emperor!
Even if it's not five years from now.
He also overwhelmingly crushed the Demon Emperor.
The Dark Devil King was overjoyed; his gamble had paid off!
"Wait! Give me a way out... give me a way out... I can exchange something you can't refuse!"
"Are these your last words?"
Chen Ning smiled calmly, not intending to believe him.
"It's true, what I'm saying is true!"
The Heartless Devil Emperor howled in agony amidst the dragon flames.
At this moment.
The Dark Devil King, enduring his injuries, struggled to say from a distance, "Sect Leader Chen, believe him... he truly possesses an immense fortuitous opportunity!"
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and withdrew the dragon flame.
Having narrowly escaped death, the Heartless Devil Emperor was filled with lingering fear. Supporting his mangled body, he respectfully clasped his hands and said:
"Sect Leader Chen, thank you, thank you for sparing my life!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you know why I let you go."
Chen Ning's voice was calm.
"Of course I know, Sect Leader Chen, please take a look."
The Heartless Devil Emperor took out a spatial Law Artifact, stroked it with his palm, and six crystals shimmering with demonic energy appeared.
"My lineage—no, I mean the lineage of the Little Demon—has always possessed a secret manual left behind by the Demon God. However, it requires seven Devil Crystal Stones to open. Once this manual is opened, one can obtain fortuitous opportunity bestowed by the Demon God."
"Over the years, I have been searching for the whereabouts of the seven Devil Crystal Stones. My efforts have paid off, and I have now obtained six of them. However, the whereabouts of the last one is still unknown. But I can offer all six Devil Crystal Stones to Sect Leader Chen, just to ask you to spare my life."
Chen Ning remained outwardly calm.
He secretly began to ponder it.
He received a Devil Crystal Stone a system reward when he killed the Dream-Eating Devil.
The introduction at the time also stated that the seven Devil Crystal Stone combined could unlock the supreme secret of the Devil Race.
That's exactly what the Heartless Devil Emperor said.
If that's true.
Adding the six from the Heartless Devil Emperor's possession, they can be combined to activate the Devil God Secret Scripture.
Seeing Chen Ning remain silent, they assumed he was unaware of the power of this Devil God Secret Scripture.
The Heartless Devil Emperor hurriedly spoke up, "Sect Leader Chen, don't underestimate this fortuitous opportunity. Although our lineage is not powerful, the things left behind by the former Demon God are enough to suppress the world. Even those powerful alien races that invaded our Nine Provinces originated from the Demon God; they are merely a branch of the Devil Race Clan."
Chen Ning naturally knew the value of these seven Devil Crystal Stones.
But he couldn't show it that way.
Chen Ning feigned reluctance as he spoke, "No matter how eloquently you describe it, with only six Devil Crystal Stones, how am I supposed to know if you're telling the truth? What if this is just something you're using to save your life and appease me..."
"If I weren't on the verge of death, why would I offer up such a treasure? Over the years, I've been searching for the whereabouts of the Devil Crystal Stone. If you don't believe me, you can ask my two subordinates."
Needless to say, the Dark Devil King was the one who just told Chen Ning that what the Heartless Devil Emperor said was true.
The Prison Devil King was terrified.
Trembling with fear.
He never imagined the situation would turn out this way.
The mighty Devil Race King of You Province, Saint Realm, actually risked everything to curry favor with a Human Race in order to survive.
And.
That depends on the Human Race's attitude.
One wrong move and Heartless Devil Emperor could meet a gruesome end.
At this moment, the Heartless Devil Emperor looked over.
He spoke tremblingly, "Yes... the Demon Emperor has been searching for the whereabouts of the Devil Crystal Stone for thousands of years. The reason the Demon Emperor was able to defeat the Dark Devil King and ascend to the throne was because he already possessed three Devil Crystal Stones."
"I'll believe you for now, but that's not enough to save your life. After all, we're still missing a Devil Crystal Stone, and I won't gain anything for the time being."
"So what do you want Little Demon to do?"
The Heartless Devil Emperor spoke in fear.
I want you to submit to me!
Chen Ning spoke indifferently. At that moment, the Darkness Divine Mark lit up on the chest of the Heartless Devil Emperor.
"In order to completely trust you, this Divine Mark monitors you at all times. If you make any unusual move, it will instantly detonate the demonic energy throughout your body."
"This... this..."
The Heartless Devil Emperor was used to being arrogant, and he couldn't accept the idea of submitting to a Human Race.
Moreover...
The conditions are still so demanding.
"Sect Leader Chen... Little Demon... Little Demon is, after all, a Saint. Such restraint is somewhat inappropriate..."
Just as the Heartless Devil Emperor was trying to negotiate some more terms...
Chen Ning had already lost patience.
"Either submit... or die!"
The words were spoken in a single breath.
The Darkness Divine Mark on the chest of the Heartless Devil Emperor shone brightly, and he felt all the demonic energy in his body being drawn to him.
As if it were the next moment.
It will then explode.
"Alright! Little Demon is willing to submit!"
The Heartless Devil Emperor knelt on one knee and performed a Devil Race ritual of worship.
Seeing this scene...
Chen Ning smiled faintly and withdrew the power of the Darkness Divine Mark.
But that Divine Mark remained forever on the chest of the Heartless Devil Emperor.
In some ways, this constraint is even more cruel than Heavenly Book of Contracts.
As long as you do not violate the terms of the contract, you remain free.
However, the Darkness Divine Mark are constantly monitoring them.
In Chen Ning's eyes, the Heartless Devil Emperor had no secrets.
And.
Their life or death can be monitored at any time.
Chen Ning walked to the Dark Devil King's side, saw his terrible injuries, and asked, "Dark King, now, do you completely trust me?"
"Sect Leader Chen is an extraordinary person; I am completely convinced!"
The Dark Devil King forced himself to speak despite his injuries.
Then.
Chen Ning then looked at the Heartless Devil Emperor and said, "Come and heal him. If he hasn't fully recovered when I see him again, you die."
"Yes, sir."
The Heartless Devil Emperor nodded.
"Also, you will obey his orders from now on."
"What?"
The Heartless Devil Emperor gritted his teeth, his face grim, and said, "My lord, he was once my subordinate. I truly cannot accept being ordered by him."
"Can't accept it? Then go die!"
Chen Ning said it very simply.
"My lord, please calm down. This humble demon will obey him!"
The Heartless Devil Emperor helplessly shrugged.
The Dark Devil King was filled with trepidation, but at this moment he looked at Chen Ning with gratitude.
He couldn't help but recall the words Chen Ning had once used to persuade him to join the group.
"I have come today only to request the Demon King to descend from the mountain..."
"I don't even deign to look down on your little territory, you Devil Race..."
"Even if the Demon Emperor reaches the Saint realm five years from now, I can still slay him..."
"With the new emperor on the throne, if you can make outstanding contributions, you will naturally be rewarded handsomely..."
Thinking back now.
The words still echo in my ears.
The Dark Devil King suddenly realized that this might be the best decision he had ever made in his life.
