His words struck at the heart-and were a test!
Alarm shot through Zu Yuan. He immediately dropped to one knee and hastily said, "I would never dare! My strength is no more than a spark. How could it compare to the Great Demon Venerable's radiant moonlight?"
Chongming looked impassively at the terrified Zu Yuan before him and said without a trace of emotion, "Even a spark can set the plains ablaze, can it not?"
An invisible pressure enveloped Zu Yuan, as though Chongming could grind his bones to dust and scatter his ashes in the very next instant.
To this Great Demon Venerable, reducing Zu Yuan, who stood at the third level of Tribulation Transcendence, to drifting ash would take no more than a flick of his fingers.
Kneeling on the ground, Zu Yuan's mind raced. He had no idea where he had given himself away to make this Great Demon Venerable suspect him!
With such terrifying strength, how had the real Zu Yuan in his previous life managed to kill this Great Demon Venerable and lead the Devil Race?
If this Great Demon Venerable really attacked him, Zu Yuan could only fight back, even at the cost of his life!
A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Zu Yuan's eyes. Outwardly, he trembled in fear, but inwardly, he was already prepared to detonate himself.
A hint of mockery flashed through Chongming's eyes. He raised his hand slightly, and the invisible pressure around them instantly vanished.
With his cold, sinister features, he forced out a smile he considered kindly and said, "You brat, how can you have no thought of succeeding me? How will you ever accomplish anything great like that? With such a weak disposition, you'll have a hard time becoming the Devil Race's new leader."
