I Have Long Yearned for the Devil's Path!
Actually.
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable was the one most eager to regain his power.
He now possesses a realm equivalent to that of Saint Venerable.
However, their actual combat strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
He was like that back then.
Only by joining forces with powerful Saint Venerable from all God Clan could he be suppressed.
This still requires sacrificing many strong individuals as a price.
And him now.
Let alone fighting against the powerful Saint Venerable of various God Clan.
Even fighting alone might not guarantee victory.
So.
This is why he is so eager to regain his strength.
Once tracked down by those powerful God Clan...
He will likely be killed again.
At that time.
They had no power to resist at all.
At the current rate of recovery, it will take him at least three to five years to return to his peak condition.
Even with Chen Ning's pure demonic energy replenishing him...
It can only recover to one-tenth or one-twelfth of its former state.
So.
Chen Ning's words at this moment were very tempting to him.
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable raised his eyelids, looked at Chen Ning, and said, "Even if I eat you, I can still recover some of my power. Compared to trusting you, the risk is much smaller."
Chen Ning smiled sincerely and said, "Demon Lord, how much can you recover by eating me? I am just a Human Race, and I only have a tiny bit of pure demonic energy because I was lucky enough to practice some Devil Cultivation Method. This is just a drop in the ocean for your recovery!"
"Go on."
"You were once a powerful figure in this Vast Land, so you naturally know the methods of the Human Race. Only by refining the divine medicines of heaven and earth into Divine Pill can one possess the power of creation. When you consume the Divine Pill, you will at least recover 50% of your strength. If we have enough precious divine medicines, I am confident that I can restore the Demon Lord to 70% of his strength!"
Chen Ning said sincerely, "If you don't believe in my abilities, sir, I have Divine Pill on me as proof that I have the skill to refine Divine Pill."
After listening to Chen Ning's words...
Reason told the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable that he could not trust the Human Race before him.
But!
He's a demon!
He never acts on reason.
"Fine! I bet you won't dare try anything funny!"
"Indeed, the Demon Lord is truly wise and powerful. With such courage and determination, no wonder he was able to become a Demon Lord!"
"You Human Race, you're quite the smooth talker, aren't you?" The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable frowned.
"It's not that I'm being clever; I've actually longed for the demonic path for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cultivate this demonic Devil Cultivation Method, would I? To have the honor of meeting you, sir, is an immense blessing! If I could refine Divine Pill to help you recover your strength, and then gain your favor and be able to follow you in conquering the Vast Land, that would be an even greater fortune!"
"You're refining pills for me, aren't you trying to find a way to survive?"
This time, even the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable was slightly taken aback.
He felt that Chen Ning was only willing to grovel and refine pills for him because he wanted to find a way to survive.
He had already planned everything out.
Once this kid finishes refining the pills and recovers his strength, he'll kill him directly and let him experience the wickedness of demons.
Result.
After Chen Ning said that...
This caught the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable completely off guard.
"You should refine the pills first..."
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable urged impatiently.
"It can't be refined."
Chen Ning shrugged.
Are you kidding me?
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable was instantly enraged.
Chen Ning waved his hands repeatedly. "No, you misunderstood. I can't refine pills because I don't have the materials."
"Aren't you Alchemist? How come you don't have the materials?"
"Of course, we have common medicinal herbs, but how could herbs that can restore your strength be ordinary? They must be unparalleled divine medicines, and only unparalleled divine medicines are worthy of the Demon Lord's status!"
"Then how can we find the peerless elixir you speak of?"
Halfway through the questioning, the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable's gaze turned cold. "You really are still trying to play tricks. Right now, you claim that you can't refine pills without divine medicine, and that to find divine medicine you must leave the Darkness Ancient Road. Once I leave the Darkness Ancient Road and set foot on the territories controlled by those God Clan, I will inevitably be discovered. If I let you go to find the medicine alone, you will escape my control, and then you will be free to do as you please. Your plan is not bad, but unfortunately it can't fool me."
"You've misunderstood. Divine medicines aren't only found outside. As far as I know, they also exist on the Darkness Ancient Road. Let's go together; surely you'll believe me now, sir?"
"Good!"
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable nodded. "As long as you're within the boundaries of this Darkness Ancient Road, even if you try anything funny, I can grind you to dust in an instant."
Don't worry.
"Since that's the case, this person is useless. I'll eat him to replenish my strength."
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable's gaze fell on Lü Xiaochuan.
"Wait a minute, sir."
Seeing that the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable was about to attack Lü Xiaochuan, Chen Ning spoke up, "My lord, you are unaware of the situation. I need someone to assist me in refining this pill. Although this person has deceived my trust, he was once my subordinate, so it will be easier for us to cooperate. Therefore, let's spare his life for now and kill him after the Divine Pill is refined."
"Is refining an elixir really this troublesome?"
The Eight-Armed Demon Venerable said unhappily, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Then hurry up and set off to find the divine medicine for me."
"No problem, let's get going!"
