Chapter 821 - What Is The Meaning Of This?

”Y-You… I-Impossible!” Demon Emperor Carnage immediately recognized Yuanʼs face, as it saw the same face during the war between demons and the Demon Sealing Clan, and after almost dying to him, it fled to one of the forbidden lands within the Nine Heavens.

It was also confident that the Divine Paragon had long perished, hence why it finally decided to come out of hiding. However, to think that itʼd encounter the Divine Paragon once again.

The Demon Emperor eventually snapped out of its daze when it realized that the Divine Paragon looked slightly different than before.

”You may look like him, but youʼre not the Divine Paragon! I must say, you nearly gave me a heart attack. It has been tens of millions of years and many eras since the Divine Paragonʼs disappearance. No humans can live for that long!”

”Even though cultivators can technically become immortal, they are not truly immortal! Only we, demons, are truly immortal!”

Yuan smiled at the Demon Emperorʼs words and said, ”Youʼre right. I perished. However, it was my own decision to ʼdisappearʼ, and now, I have returned.”

”Thatʼs fucking bullshit! As if Iʼd believe that!” The Demon Emperor refused to believe that Yuan was really the Divine Paragon.

”Valley of Blood…” Yuan suddenly muttered in a low voice.

”What?” The Demon Emperor froze again.

”Corpse Mountain… Blood Monastery… Tomb of the Ancients…”

Yuan ignored the Demon Emperor and continued to name these weird titles one by one.

”H-How do you know these names?!” The Demon Emperor suddenly roared in a confused tone.

After all, these names were all places within the Demonic Realm! No humans should know of these places since no human has ever entered that place and managed to make it back out alive— except for one exception— the Divine Paragon!

”Isnʼt it obvious? I learned of these places when I went inside the Demonic Realm. It was a surprise when I first went there. If the rest of the world knew what I saw inside, they would be shocked.”

”I-I still donʼt believe it! For all I know, the Divine Paragon couldʼve revealed information about the Demonic Realm to the world after he sealed it!”

”Itʼs unfortunate that you donʼt believe me. If I could use my signature demon sealing technique to prove my identity, I would do it. However, my body and its cultivation would not be able to handle such a technique.”

”Anyways, since you revealed yourself by using such a powerful technique, the others are alerted of your presence, and it will only be a matter of time before they arrive and dispose of you.”

”While you are most certainly strong enough to handle the Demon Sealing Clan in their current state, youʼre in no condition to do anything right now because of Blood Separation. Therefore, I shall give you a proposal.”

”You can either let the Demon Sealing Clan deal with you, or you can die in my hands. Which do you prefer? I promise that it will be a swift death if you choose the latter.”

”Or I can kill you and leave this place before they arrive!” The Demon Emperor instantly jumped into action and flew towards Yuan.

Without even trying to dodge, Yuan casually pointed at the Demon Emperor and muttered in a low voice, ”Demon Sealing Zone.”

Bang!

The Demon Emperor slammed into the barrier that suddenly restrained it.

”To tell you the truth, in my current condition, I would have no chance to defeat you before you used Blood Separation, so I must thank you for giving me this chance. Once I take care of you, I will find the rest of the stray demons and take care of them as well… eventually.”

”Damn you, Divine Paragon! Just like before, you appear out of the blue to threaten our existence! Unfortunately for you, things will be different this time! You may have defeated me today, but you will not defeat the Demon Clan! Soon, you will know the true power of demons, when a real Ancient steps foot into this pathetic world!” The Demon Emperor began laughing in a crazed manner.

Yuan frowned slightly after hearing the Demon Emperorʼs words. He isnʼt normally bothered by demonsʼ provocation, but it was different this time.

”An Ancient, huh… I have never tasted a demon core belonging to an Ancient before, so this will be my first.”

”Hahaha! Thatʼs right! You will tremble before the Ancient!” The Demon Emperor continued to laugh even though it knew it was moments away from being killed by the Divine Paragon.

However, to the Demon Emperorʼs absolute surprise, Yuan suddenly removed the Demon Sealing Zone.

”W-What is the meaning of this?” It looked at him with a look of disbelief.

”Hm? Nothing much. I have always wanted to fight an Ancient, so I am going to let you go, as that would ensure I get to fight one in the future.”

”Are you serious? Youʼre willing to put the entire Nine Heavens and every human in it at risk because of such a selfish reason? Youʼre definitely not the Divine Paragon I know.”

Yuan showed a mysterious smile and said, ”Then you donʼt really know me, but this is a statement that can be said for pretty much everyone.”

He then placed the mask back on his face, turned around, and walked out of the Blood Sphere, almost as though the blood wall didnʼt exist.

Once Yuan was gone, the Demon Emperor no longer lingered and deactivated the Blood Sphere and used what little power it had left to run away from the scene right before the demon sealers arrived.

”Whereʼs the demon?! I swear I felt its presence coming from this location!”

A bunch of demon sealers including Grand Elder Suo showed up to the scene mere moments after the Demon Emperorʼs departure. As for Qian Chu, heʼd long left the place, so he did not sense the Demon Emperorʼs presence.

Meanwhile, Yuan returned to the Demon Sealing Grand Library, where he would remove his mask and stand before his statue, quietly staring at it for a long period of time, which puzzled the other demon sealers there that were wondering what he was doing.
