The attacks directed at the Descent of the Demon Exalted finally stopped. Chu Feng looked at it and asked, âTell me more about the scheme.â
âI donât know what the Blood-devouring Demon Exaltedâs true goal is, but heâs able to determine your location through me as I was forged out of his powers. However, he is only able to do that as long as I donât fuse with you. Once I fuse with you, heâll lose his connection with me.
âChu Feng, I have been with you through your journey. I know that you are destined for great things. I would have been more than willing to offer you my strength, but I canât do so. The Blood-devouring Demon Exalted has planted a restriction on me that ensures my destruction should I fuse together with you,â the Descent of the Demon Exalted said.
Chu Feng frowned. He hadnât thought that there would be such a reason behind the Descent of the Demon Exaltedâs refusal to submit to him. It turned out that the wily old Blood-devouring Demon Exalted was using his secret skill as a position talisman!
However, Chu Feng wasnât worried about himself but Wang Qiang.
He had known right from the start that something was off about the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted, but he couldnât do anything about it as the latter was simply too strong for them to deal with.
The Blood-devouring Blood Exalted was clearly out to kill him while they were vying for the Sacred Treeâs power, but he suddenly stopped halfway through and claimed that it was just a test. Now that Chu Feng thought about it, the Blood-devouring Blood Exalted might have sensed the protective formation inside him and realized that he couldnât kill him, so he left such a hand inside him instead.
After all, it was through the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted that he first learned about the formation inside him and the sealing of the Evil God Sword.
Perhaps, it was not that the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted didnât want to steal the Sacred Treeâs powers from him but that he was unable to. Unwilling to give up, he decided to impart a secret skill to track Chu Feng in case an opportunity arose in the future.
âWhat else do you know? Continue speaking,â Chu Feng said.
âThatâs all I know,â the Descent of the Demon God said.
Chu Feng flicked his finger, and the chains that had already impaled the Descent of the Demon God began furiously moving.
The Descent of the Demon God clenched his teeth in pain. âI really donât know anything else! My memories are blurry. I donât remember anything from the Ancient Era! All I know is that the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted created me and is able to locate me through my aura! He warned me not to fuse with you or else Iâll be destroyed, but I donât know his true motive. However, I suspect that it has something to do with the Void Sacred Treeâs powers.â
âWhat kind of powers does the Void Sacred Tree have?â Chu Feng asked.
The Void Sacred Tree had transformed into a little girl and entered Chu Fengâs body. He knew that the little girl was extremely powerful, but he hadnât enjoyed any benefits from her to this day. In fact, he hadnât even been able to refine and assimilate the Sacred Tree Seed to this day.
âThe Blood-devouring Demon Exalted should have told you how powerful the Void Sacred Tree is. Itâs a power that all cultivators dream of, or else the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted wouldnât have desired it so much. Chu Feng, itâll be best for you not to tell anyone about the Void Sacred Tree, or else it might spell your death. Other than that, I donât know anything at all,â the Descent of the Demon Exalted said.
âWhat about Wang Qiang? What does the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted plan to do with him? Does he plan to possess Wang Qiangâs body?â Chu Feng asked.
His greatest worry was that Wang Qiang was in danger.
The Blood-devouring Demon Exalted had said that he needed a vessel to survive, and he chose to inhabit Wang Qiangâs body because he possessed the Four Fiends Divine Body. He promised to help Wang Qiang along the way and leave his body once he regained his freedom.
However, it was hard to imagine the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted to be that kind-hearted. Chu Feng suspected that the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted was out to steal Wang Qiangâs Four Fiends Divine Body.
âI really donât know anything at all, Chu Feng. I was previously sealed by the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted, so I donât know his true intentions. Just think about it! Thereâs no way that wily old fox would dare transfer me into your body if I know his secrets, right? I am nothing but his pawn! Iâm begging you, you have to trust me! I only refused to submit to you because I want to live!â The Descent of the Demon Exalted burst into tears.
It knew that Chu Feng possessed the power to kill it, but it didnât want to die.
âAre you able to communicate with the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted?â Chu Feng asked.
âI canât, though I might be able to sense the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted if he appears in the vicinity. The connection only goes one way,â the Descent of the Demon Exalted said.
âIâll trust you for now, but know that Iâll make you die a painful death if I learn that you have been lying to me!â Chu Feng sneered.
The black aura finally receded into Chu Fengâs body together with the Descent of the Demon Exalted.
âChu Feng, why didnât you force it to submit to you? Is the Blood-devouring Demon Exaltedâs seal so powerful that you canât fuse with it?â Eggy asked.
âIâve checked using Dark Plunder. Thereâs indeed a restriction placed on the Descent of the Demon God. I could have broken the restriction and made it submit to me without triggering the restriction, but I suspect that the Descent of the Demon God is telling the truth. The Blood-devouring Demon Exalted wonât be able to find me if I fuse with it,â Chu Feng said.
âAre you planning to wait for the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted to come to you?â Eggy asked.
âIâm worried about Wang Qiang. I canât leave him to the lurch,â Chu Feng replied.
