199 Heaven Demon
The middle-aged man was three meters tall, covered in demonic patterns, and looked very strong. He was the race leader of the demon god race, Heaven Demon.
Heaven Demon glanced at Qin Chen. A ray of light flashed through his pitch-black eyes as he asked in surprise, “You’re the human Elder King whose name has been spreading like wildfire?”
“Indeed,” Qin Chen cupped his hands in response.
“I didn’t expect you to be so young. I see the human race has produced a monster,” Heaven Demon exclaimed.
Qin Chen was shocked. He had not expected Heaven Demon to see through the power of his great path and see his true appearance!
“There’s no need for you to be so surprised. Although you’ve used the Chaotic Holy Body to activate the power of the great path to hide your face and even a God might not be able to see through it, this is a world created by the primordial emperor of my race. There is only the path of my race in this world. Even a God would find it difficult to hide here, lest you’re only a Sage King,” Seeing Qin Chen’s reaction, Heaven Demon explained patiently.
Qin Chen used his Chaotic Holy Body to sense this world. Just as Heaven Demon had said, there was only one path in this world. It was almost impossible for him to deceive the demon god race here.
“Senior, please keep this a secret,” Qin Chen cupped his hands and bowed to Heaven Demon.
Heaven Demon smiled and replied with a laugh, “It seems that you have a lot of secrets! Don’t worry, I’m not that free to reveal your appearance to the world. However, with the primordial sage race’s Sheng Xuan’s eyes, your Chaotic Holy Body can’t be hidden from him.”
“Many thanks, senior!” Qin Chen nodded in agreement. As for Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan of the Primordial sage race, since the other party didn’t mention matters regarding this before, he believed that the latter wouldn’t do so in the future either. There was no need to worry too much.
Heaven Demon looked at Qin Chen and stopped smiling. He said with a serious expression, “Let’s talk about the reason you came to the demon god race!”
“Senior, the human race would like to join forces with the demon god race to deal with the primordial sage race in half a month,” Qin Chen went straight to the point and stated his purpose for coming.
Heaven Demon frowned and looked at Qin Chen deeply as he said, “The human race isn’t just dealing with the primordial sage race but the entire ten thousand ancient races. Although the demon god race has a feud with the primordial sage race, we still belong to the ten thousand ancient races.”
Hearing Heaven Demon’s words, Qin Chen could not quite grasp his intentions. His eyes became serious, and he only spoke after a long time, “Senior, the human race has no intention of becoming enemies with the ten thousand ancient races. On the contrary, the ten thousand ancient races have always been unable to tolerate the human race. If senior is not willing to help, the human race will have no complaints. However, do you wish to see the primordial sage race rise to power just like that?”
“Hahahaha, kid, you might not understand the power of the primordial sage race. They are not being arrogant. Humans are simply no match for them,” Heaven Demon shook his head and smiled, his expression full of ridicule.
Qin Chen frowned, not understanding what he meant, “Senior, what do you mean?”
“It seems like you really don’t know,” Heaven Demon snorted and then explained, “Throughout the primordial era, the primordial sage race has always been known as the strongest race among the ten thousand ancient races. It’s not just because they have two emperors. More importantly, experts emerge from their race every generation. Even if those experts don’t end up becoming primordial emperors, they are still top experts who look down on the ten thousand ancient races. Do you think that such a peerless race only has one self-proclaimed God-realm expert? Moreover, they still have the sons of the heavenly sovereign and Sage Emperor Tai Yang who have sealed themselves to this life. What realm do you think their guardians will be in?”
After hearing what Heaven Demon said, Qin Chen’s expression changed slightly. If the primordial sage race was really as powerful as he said, then with the current strength of the human race, they would definitely be defeated in half a month.
“Senior, could it be that the demon god race is afraid of the primordial sage race?” Qin Chen goaded the otherworldly demon.
“Afraid?” Heaven Demon snorted coldly, “The primordial sage race has reserves, but do you think that the demon god race doesn’t? When Heaven and Earth are fully restored, the experts of our race will be revived. With them will be the son of the primordial emperor of our race, His Highness Mo Yuan. With His Highness Mo Yuan around, why should our race be afraid?”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you join forces with the human race half a month later and teach the primordial sage race a lesson?” Qin Chen nodded and tried to rope in the demon god race again.
Heaven Demon glanced at Qin Chen and knew that he had fallen into the latter’s goading. He immediately adjusted his state of mind and replied softly, “The experts of our race have yet to be born. We don’t want to fall out with the primordial sage race at this time, and we don’t want to become tools for the human race either.”
“Since senior is determined not to make a move, then there’s no point in me saying anything more. I’ll take my leave,” Qin Chen cupped his hands and did not intend to continue persuading the other party. He turned around and was about to leave.
“Don’t you want to fight for it? What if I agree to your request?” Heaven Demon suddenly spoke and stopped Qin Chen, who was about to leave.
“Senior, you already know why I’m here,” Qin Chen replied neither obsequiously nor haughtily, “If you were willing to help, you would have agreed long ago. If you’re not willing, it’s useless no matter how much I try to persuade you. There’s no need to waste my breath.”
“Hmph, you’re quite stubborn,” Heaven Demon snorted and went straight to the point, “Brat, the demon god race can join hands with the human race, but you have to help me do one thing.”
“Senior, please speak!” Qin Chen nodded in response.
Heaven Demon didn’t keep him in suspense and said frankly, “The Divine Spirit Source that His Highness Mo Yuan sealed himself had some problems in the long river of time. It has resulted in his absence now. As long as you can help His Highness Mo Yuan to be revived, I can guarantee the safety of the human race.”
“This… What should I do?” Qin Chen was confused. Sealing a living being could only be done by God-realm experts. He had no idea how to help the ancient Prince, Mo Yuan, be revived.
“This might be difficult for us, but it’s very easy for you. You possess extraordinary weapon-refining and pill-refining techniques. As long as you refine the Divine Spirit Source that seals His Highness Mo Yuan, he will be able to be revived safely,” Heaven Demon replied indifferently. He had already thought of a way.
If one wanted to refine the Divine Spirit Source without harming His Highness Mo Yuan, one would need a terrifying mastery over soul control, which was only achievable by top weapon and pill masters.
In this life, in the entire Canglan Continent, the only person who could be called a top pill and weapon refining master was the human Elder King. That was why Heaven Demon had said so much before. It was to make Qin Chen help him willingly.
Qin Chen had a puzzled look on his face. He did not expect Heaven Demon’s request to be so simple. Without any hesitation, he agreed and nodded, “Senior, I agree to your request. However, you have to keep your promise and join forces with the human race to deal with the primordial sage race in half a month.”
