Gu Qingfeng watched Demon Pu with excitement, his heart filled with anticipation.
If the Mirror Demon and Shadow Demon were so ridiculously powerful, how strong must their leader, Demon Pu, be?
However, Demon Pu held himself back.
He still had an important plan to fulfill and couldn’t afford to act rashly.
Demon Pu took a deep breath to calm himself, but this time his tone was no longer composed. Instead, it was icy and filled with killing intent. "Originally, I intended to kill you, but the moment I saw you, I changed my mind."
"Fell in love with my handsome face? Couldn’t bring yourself to do it?"
#!
A visible vein seemed to pop on Demon Pu’s forehead as he gritted his teeth, ignoring Gu Qingfeng’s nonsense. "I sensed the aura of the Blood Divine Son on you, but I couldn’t detect the remnant soul of the Blood Demon. This means you’ve devoured the Blood Divine Son, haven’t you?"
"What’s it to you?"
What the hell!
Demon Pu’s fists clenched so tightly they creaked. He truly couldn’t understand the thought process of the man before him. Why was he like this?
I’m the leader of the Seven Demon Generals! I’m talking about the Blood Demon, who terrorized the world two hundred ago! Can’t you take this seriously?
Of course, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t take it seriously. His goal was to provoke Demon Pu into action. He had no interest in listening to Demon Pu’s ramblings and just wanted to gain more attributes and grow stronger.
Demon Pu decided that the conversation could no longer proceed in a question-and-answer format, or he’d explode on the spot.
"Denying it is pointless. I’ve sensed the aura of the Blood Divine Son on you," Demon Pu spoke rapidly, not giving Gu Qingfeng a chance to interrupt.
"Two hundred years ago, the Demon Suppression Bureau led the righteous alliance, yet they couldn’t destroy the Blood Demon’s thirty-six Blood Divine Sons. The indestructibility of the Blood Divine Sons has long been ingrained in people’s minds. But you were able to devour one and make it your own. Do you know what this means?"
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to respond, Demon Pu continued at breakneck speed, "It means you can kill the Blood Demon, who is said to be immortal! I’ve come to propose a collaboration—let’s join forces and kill the Blood Demon. What do you say?"
"Damn!" Gu Qingfeng was stunned. "I didn’t expect you to be a traitor!"
"What’s a traitor?"
"It means someone who betrays their leader. I really didn’t see it coming. You’re the Blood Demon’s top lackey, yet instead of helping him revive, you want to kill him. Good job, kid."
Demon Pu seemed displeased with the label of traitor and snorted coldly. "The Blood Demon enslaved me for over a century. Do you know how I’ve lived these past hundred years? I’ve wanted to kill him every single day, but he’s immortal. I’ve had no way to do it."
"Isn’t the Blood Demon dead now? Why don’t you just leave and start over?"
Demon Pu shook his head. "It’s useless. As long as the thirty-six Blood Divine Sons remain, he’ll eventually return to the world. Moreover, he’s left a slave mark on me. I can’t resist him at all and have to obediently follow his orders to collect the Blood Divine Sons."
"Wait, follow his orders? How does he give you commands?"
"He’s already revived. A few years ago, he gathered thirty Blood Divine Sons and revived ahead of schedule. He’s just been dormant, accumulating strength to return to his peak."
"Really? Where is he?" Gu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up as if he saw a mountain of gold and silver beckoning to him.
Demon Pu gave Gu Qingfeng a strange look, unsure what was wrong with this guy.
He spoke gravely, "Do you realize that because you’ve devoured a Blood Divine Son, the Blood Demon will definitely come for you to reclaim his power and kill you? The only way out is for us to join forces and kill him for good."
Kill the Blood Demon?
Gu Qingfeng immediately rejected the idea. Who dares touch my treasure trove? I’ll fight them to the death!
"Tsk tsk, Demon Pu, I have to say, your thinking is twisted. The Blood Demon is your boss. As a subordinate, how can you betray your boss? Here’s what I’ll do—I’ll pretend I never heard what you said today. Don’t bring it up again. Also, I’ve always admired the Blood Demon’s overwhelming power. Can you introduce me to him?"
Demon Pu finally realized that this guy was just plain crazy. Someone wants to kill you, and you’re eager to meet them?
"Gu Qingfeng! I’m not joking. If you want to survive, joining forces with me is your only option."
Seeing that Demon Pu had no intention of taking him to the Blood Demon, Gu Qingfeng hatched a plan. He’d pretend to cooperate for now. After all, his goal was also to deal with the Blood Demon, and he’d eventually get to meet him.
"So, how do you propose we work together?"
Demon Pu finally relaxed when Gu Qingfeng seemed to come around. "Gu Qingfeng, the reason you could devour the Blood Divine Son must be related to your physique. If I’m not mistaken, you’re a Heaven’s Chosen Physique."
Heaven’s Chosen Physique?
This term was completely unfamiliar to Gu Qingfeng.
"What’s a Heaven’s Chosen Physique?"
"A Heaven’s Chosen Physique is someone destined by heaven, born with a physique that’s different from ordinary people. There are many types of Heaven’s Chosen Physiques, but they’re incredibly rare and only found among humans.
Otherwise, how do you think humans, without sharp claws or protective scales, managed to establish themselves in a world surrounded by demons and monsters?"
Gu Qingfeng suddenly thought of his Dragon Bloodline and asked, "Are you saying my Dragon Bloodline is a Heaven’s Chosen Physique?"
Demon Pu shook his head. "The Dragon Bloodline is a clever method humans use to obtain the bloodline of demons. People like that are called Bloodline Hybrids. While Bloodline Hybrids are powerful, they’re still far inferior to the innate abilities of a Heaven’s Chosen Physique. Moreover, Bloodline Hybrids, though difficult to create, can be made artificially. But a Heaven’s Chosen Physique is different—only those chosen by heaven can be granted it.
The Heaven’s Chosen Physique is a unique trait of humans, the very foundation of their survival.
The founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty was a Heaven’s Chosen Physique. His physique was called the Human Emperor Physique, which granted him boundless power. With it, he carved out a territory amidst a land teeming with demons and monsters, establishing the Great Yan Dynasty.
And you, Gu Qingfeng, also possess a Heaven’s Chosen Physique. If my judgment is correct, you must have the legendary Devouring Demon Physique. It’s said that the Devouring Demon Physique can devour all things and make them its own. That’s why you were able to devour the Blood Divine Son and the Blood Demon’s remnant soul.
Moreover, according to the Shadow Demon’s report, after fighting him, you quickly mastered the Shadow Shift technique. This further proves my point—you devoured his shadow power, which is why you can now perform Shadow Shift.
Am I right?"
"Yep, you’re absolutely right."
Gu Qingfeng nodded solemnly. "My physique is indeed extraordinary, though I didn’t know it was the Devouring Demon Physique until now. Now I understand.
So, what’s your plan? Have me devour the Blood Demon?"
