The Demon Monarch's Attempt to Persuade a Surrender, Plane Origin Power

(I saw my book on the new release rankings, and I am truly grateful for the support from my brothers. I am sincerely happy to have earned your recognition, so here is a triple update.)

The tip of the World-Breaking Spear flashed with a cold glint, constantly weaving around the Demon Monarch.

The Three-Headed Giant Dog, the Demon Monarch, attempted to trade wounds, using one head to clamp down on the World-Breaking Spear while the other two heads focused on attacking.

However, the World-Breaking Spear moved like a swimming dragon, its shaft agile and nimble; often, before the Demon Monarch could bite down, it would leave another gash elsewhere.

The battle gradually intensified, and the Demon Monarch changed tactics, attempting to counterattack by continuously spewing powerful dark energy from its mouths.

Unfortunately, the energy constructs were either neutralized by the formidable defensive power of the Four-Word Battle Armor or parried away one by one by the long spear.

As the battle dragged on, the Demon Monarch's injuries grew more severe, its aura became increasingly unstable, and the suppression from the Douluo Plane gradually intensified.

Although the Demon Monarch had been empowered by its secret technique earlier, it had ultimately failed to reach the God Rank.

If one had to put it into words, Xie An, clad in his Four-Word Battle Armor, was currently evenly matched with this Demon Monarch.

But due to the suppression of the plane, the Demon Monarch's defeat was only a matter of time.

A powerful aura erupted from the Demon Monarch, once again blasting Xie An away.

"Human, you are strong. I can feel it, but you are restricted by this plane."

"Why not join us? Although our plane is inferior to your world, as one of the five pillars of the Demon World, I can report to the Plane Will. If the Plane Will bestows its blessing upon you, you will certainly be able to break through this boundary."

After hearing this, Xie An chuckled, "If what you say is true, wouldn't I have a higher status than you once I become a God Rank? Wouldn't you become my subordinate then?"

"You don't need to worry about that. With your strength, you would surely hold a high position in this world."

"You act as an inside agent in this world, working from both sides to continuously open the Demon Passage and erode the origin power of this world."

"When the time comes, our Demon Plane will surely be able to surpass your plane, and reaching the God Rank will naturally be no problem."

"You achieve the God Rank first, and after the plane evolves, we can follow suit and achieve the God Rank as well. I can still distinguish between such things."

"And you, you will be the greatest contributor to my Demon Plane."

"You will become the Child of the Plane. Not only will your strength break through to the God Rank, but even the legendary Second-Class God or First-Class God realms are possible."

The Demon Monarch grew more excited as it spoke, its three heads shaking on their own accord.

"That sounds pretty good, though I didn't expect a hideous three-headed dog like you to have such a grand vision."

"But how am I supposed to interpret this? Are you asking me to betray the Douluo Plane?"

The Demon Monarch hurriedly shook its heads, "What kind of talk is that? What kind of talk is that?"

"As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses its tree to nest in, and a wise minister chooses his lord to serve. For the sake of one's own better development, what is a little bit of betrayal?"

"How about it? Accept my proposal. I can feel that the will of our Demon Plane has begun to awaken; it is about to arrive here!"

"A very good suggestion."

Xie An gave a light laugh.

A look of wild joy appeared on the Demon Monarch's face.

"However, I refuse."

"History has repeatedly proven that traitors never come to a good end."

Having said that, the World-Breaking Spear attacked continuously once more, and the Spear God Domain unfolded again, beginning an all-out assault on the Demon Monarch.

"Human, do not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" the Demon Monarch said with some annoyance, "Let me show you the true power of my Demon Plane!"

A surge of purple power suddenly emerged from the location where the Demon Plane passage had previously been opened, continuously pouring into the Demon Monarch's body.

At the same time, this space began to vibrate violently, and the Douluo Plane began to strongly repel the Demon Monarch.

Xie An's expression turned grave. If the previous boost was merely a breakthrough from a Demigod to the peak of a Quasi-God, he could still handle it.

But now, the Demon Monarch actually showed signs of breaking through the Quasi-God level and heading toward the God Rank.

It was at this moment that a mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

[Ding! Detected Plane Origin Power from another world. Please attempt to absorb it, Host.]

Xie An's heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked, "System, what should I do?"

[Ding! Please make contact with the power before you, or kill the enemy before you.]

Xie An wanted to think it over, but feeling the Demon Monarch's rapidly climbing aura, he gritted his teeth and charged directly toward that surge of energy.

"What? Are you so scared by my God Rank power that you've lost your mind?"

"Or have you changed your mind? Have you decided to join the Demon Plane?"

The Demon Monarch said with disdain. In its eyes, this human who lacked God Rank strength, while strong, was no different from a moth flying into a flame when facing the origin power of the Demon Plane.

But soon, the Demon Monarch discovered something was wrong.

Normally, when an external species came into contact with the origin power of the Demon Plane, they would either be devoured directly or assimilated, becoming a part of the Demon Plane.

Yet this human before him was not only unharmed, but his aura was actually beginning to climb?

No, this is impossible. This is just a non-God Rank creature; it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

The Demon Monarch thought to itself, feeling uncertain.

But soon, reality slapped him hard in the face, because the Demon Monarch felt the power being injected into his body begin to diminish, and even dry up.

Was this non-God Rank creature in front of him actually devouring the Plane Origin Power!?

Xie An's state at this moment was quite peculiar; the instant he touched that purple power.

He could clearly feel his body being assimilated and his original power being devoured.

Could this system really be some kind of patch designed to erase him?

Xie An felt a bit disheartened and prepared to withdraw from this energy.

At the same time, he also prepared himself to fight until the very last moment.

He, Xie An, was not just the War God Temple Master, but also a soldier.

At the same time, he was speechless at the Douluo Plane; someone had already sent energy right into its home, yet it was still playing deaf and dumb.

It was also at this moment that the mechanical voice sounded once again.

[Ding! Detected Plane Origin Power from another world, beginning absorption.]

Xie An only felt a refreshing power wash over his body, and the power that had been assimilating him vanished instantly.

A power of a higher level began to flow through his body.

System, leave some for me. If I become stronger, I can have more opportunities like this, Xie An shouted in his heart.

The system seemed to truly understand what Xie An said, diverting more of that high-level power toward him.

To the Demon Monarch outside, however, things were beginning to become extremely bizarre.

He saw that this humanoid creature had not a single scratch on his body, and his aura was even climbing continuously.

At the same time, a phantom of a Spear God Divine Position appeared behind the human, becoming increasingly solid.

"No, could this be the legendary Divine Position? This is impossible. How could a non-God Rank creature possess such a thing?"

The Demon Monarch did not notice that this Divine Position was incomplete.

Spitting out a ball of energy, the Demon Monarch wanted to interrupt Xie An, but the energy ball was like mud entering the sea, failing to stir up even a ripple.

Xie An continued to absorb energy, and at a certain moment, the Plane Will on the opposite side seemed to finally discover that something was wrong, and the energy transmission began to decrease until it finally disappeared.

"Don't stop, I haven't absorbed enough yet!"

System, how much did you swallow? Hurry up and spit some more out for me.

Xie An could clearly feel that his strength, which had not improved for many years, had taken a step forward.

Although this step was small, it was of great significance to Xie An.

Xie An had stayed at the Quasi-God level for too long.

And now, although he had not broken through to the God Rank level, he could no longer be described as a mere Quasi-God.

He was confident that if he were to fight Yun Ming now, without the support of the Golden Ancient Tree, he could resolve the battle within three hundred moves.

If it weren't for the demon in front of him not yet being dealt with, Xie An would even want to go and test himself against Chen Xinjie, who was using the Sea God Helmet.

"Alright, Demon Monarch, now, the battle has only just begun."

Xie An felt a bit unsatisfied, looking greedily at the Demon Monarch before him.
