“That’s right!”
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor sighed and spoke. He hadn’t intended to hide it much anyway.
After all, he knew very well that as a supreme demon emperor, he couldn’t completely overturn the structure of the Three Realms on his own. But the Demon Ancestor, though possessing boundless power, simply didn’t devote his mind to the great cause of the demon realm, spending his days instead immersed in carnal pleasures.
The problem was that he didn’t dare to say anything against the Demon Ancestor either. After all, since the guy was already invincible, couldn’t he just enjoy himself a little?
“Tell me in detail! The source of devouring Dao you fused with... was the Demon Ancestor himself who found it for you?”
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor shook his head. “No, and when I tell you, you probably won’t believe it anyway.”
“I believe it! If the Demon Ancestor can casually elevate someone to demon emperor, what’s impossible?” The Destruction Demon Emperor’s breathing grew rapid. He, of course, wanted to become a supreme demon emperor too!
His cultivation had been stuck in the demon emperor realm for a long time. Clearly, he had pushed the entire Dao of Destruction to its ultimate understanding, and no one in the Three Realms was better suited to fuse with the Destruction Dao than him. Yet the Dao still stubbornly refused to appear.
“The source of devouring Dao was personally given to me by the Demon Ancestor. I suspect he hasn’t fused with just one Dao.”
“Impossible!” The Destruction Demon Emperor cried out.
“You just said you believed!”
“Well—” The Destruction Demon Emperor was left speechless. A person could only fuse with one Dao source at most—this was a new order established by the Heavenly Court after the desolate world era, an iron law decreed by the Heavenly Emperor himself.
“And I suspect the Demon Ancestor has many Dao sources in his hands. Of course, this is an extremely bold guess, because when the Demon Ancestor gave me the source of devouring Dao... he didn’t even blink.”
“This—”
All the demon emperors were stunned. The more they thought about it, the more horrifying it became.
Why could the Demon Ancestor casually elevate a demon venerable to demon emperor? Why had he appeared out of nowhere in the Abyss of the Demon Realm and precisely gained the recognition of the Demon Dao source? Why could he casually produce a Dao source, and exactly the Devouring Dao source that the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor needed?
“I... I...” The Destruction Demon Emperor’s lips trembled a few times. Then, with a thud, he knelt before the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.
“You... what the hell are you doing?”
“Brother Devouring Heaven, what... what exactly did you say to convince the Demon Ancestor to give you the Dao source? Teach me, and from now on, I’ll be your lackey!”
In the face of the temptation of a Dao source, all cultivators had no dignity. What was dignity? Was it worth more than eternal life and supreme power?
“Now you’re my lackey,” the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor said with a sly grin.
The Destruction Demon Emperor: “...”
“I’ve spent quite a lot of time with the Demon Ancestor. I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp on his mind,” the old man stroked his beard, looking immensely proud.
Since the Destruction Demon Emperor was kneeling, all the other demon emperors knelt too, eager to listen with rapt attention.
“First off, the Demon Ancestor’s temperament is unpredictable, but he doesn’t kill indiscriminately. You can flatter him... but not too much. That kinds of thing would annoy him.”
“Second, the Demon Ancestor loves beauties. If you bring a beautiful woman with you... let her whisper sweet nothings in his ear...”
“Are you joking?” The White Bone Demon Emperor transformed into a stunning beauty with knitted brows. “Besides Yaoyue, who else around the Demon Ancestor can catch his eye? I tried to seduce him myself before, and he kicked me straight out of the demon palace.”
The White Bone Demon Emperor shuddered at the memory.
“Ha! Look at yourself—what kind of mess are you? You’ve got over a hundred thousand paramours at home! Do you think the Demon Ancestor would take a slut like you seriously?”
“You—” The White Bone Demon Emperor fell silent, because she couldn’t deny it.
And deep down, she was full of regret. If only she hadn’t been so promiscuous in her youth. Now that she had encountered the Demon Ancestor... how could she, tainted and defiled, dare to touch him? She had lost countless opportunities.
“Another thing! I have a bold guess: the Demon Ancestor probably really likes the delicate, cute type of girl.”
“That’s even more bullshit! Yaoyue the Demon Emperor is over six feet tall. That’s probably considered petite in demonkind, but compared to the Demon Ancestor’s height... what’s petite about that?”
The Destruction Demon Emperor was disgusted. He seriously suspected that the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, that old coot, was deliberately leading them off track to make the Demon Ancestor dislike them.
“Let me finish!” The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor squinted coldly. He was seriously analyzing this, okay?
“Once, when I was reporting to the Demon Ancestor in the demon palace, I accidentally caught a glimpse of him looking at a picture. It was a group photo of him with many stunning beauties. It was only a fleeting glimpse, but I was utterly amazed. So I suspect those women in the picture are all his relatives.”
“But why does the Demon Ancestor look at a photo of his relatives? It means he’s probably trapped in this world, unable to leave or contact them...”
“What... what does that have to do with his preferences?”
“Of course it does!” The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor snapped his fingers.
“Though it was just a glimpse, I memorized all the women in that picture. Out of dozens of celestial beauties there... at least half were of small, delicate builds. And the Demon Ancestor was close and intimate with them—definitely relationship partners!”
“So believe me, the Demon Ancestor definitely likes the petite, cute type—the kind you can raise from a tender age. You need to find them! Pick the cutest girl possible and bring her before the Demon Ancestor... it’ll definitely win his favor!”
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor talked until his throat was dry, genuinely excited.
“Fine! Old demon, I’ll trust you this time. But if the Demon Ancestor gets angry, I swear... I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!” The Destruction Demon Emperor tried to threaten him but remembered he couldn’t beat him anymore.
“No worries! The Demon Ancestor’s preferences... I’ve got them all figured out.”
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor puffed up with pride. But he had no idea that these very words would one day cause immense trouble for Jiang Che.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
