Duke of Trembling took Chu Kuangren for the Demon King's vessel and brought him back to the City Lord's Manor in Trembling Capital, treating him hospitably and with the utmost respect.
But the more he behaved this way, the more doubts grew in Chu Kuangren's mind.
Among the Demon Clan, the belief that the strong reigned supreme was deeply ingrained, far more noticeably so than elsewhere.
In the capital, Chu Kuangren had witnessed quite a few fights and brawls, and no small number of demons had been beaten to death openly in the streets.
Yet simply because the killers were strong enough, no demons paid any attention.
His current strength was far inferior to Duke of Trembling's, yet Duke of Trembling still treated him with the utmost respect, looking utterly loyal.
He could not help wondering what the man was plotting.
"Interesting."
Chu Kuangren stayed in the City Lord's Manor for a few days.

A long while later.
He opened his eyes.
He opened the Fantasy Roulette to draw a prize.
Congratulations, host, on drawing the Super God-Level reward: Soul Barrier.

Chu Kuangren took a look, and his eyes lit up.
Soul Barrier?
This was a Hongmeng-grade cultivation technique, an exceedingly profound one.
It could construct barriers over his soul to defend it. A single layer of Soul Barrier did not offer particularly strong protection, but the marvel of this technique lay in the fact that its barriers could be stacked.
In theory.
