I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 41

While inside the flaming sea of lava, Xiuzhe looked at Chen Luoyang who was in the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage but couldn’t say a thing. Chen Luoyang’s disappointed expression quickly vanished while he regained his composure. He was so composed that it felt cold.

Chen Luoyang shook his head before turning his eyes away and leaving the side of the window. It seemed like he felt it wasn’t worth it to continue giving Xiuzhe any attention.

The six flood dragons that were restless due to Xiuzhe’s overwhelming qi had regained their senses and were roaring loudly which echoed across the skies.

The Demon Cult members looked at each other with dismay. Zhang Tianheng laughed mischievously and said, “Cult Master doesn’t think that Xiuzhe is qualified to cross moves with him again. He is allowing us to handle the rest.”

It was basically impossible to establish any foothold in the sea of lava ahead.

Zhang Tianheng smiled at Wang Dubao and said, “Old Wang, let’s work together today.”

Zhang Tianheng waved his hand, and a subordinate of his handed him a giant bow. At the same time, someone handed Wang Dubao a giant bow too.

When the hunchback Wang Dubao received the giant bow, his back straightened a little.

The two Demon Cult Protectors were doing the same motion. They held the bow in one hand, while the other hand’s wrist made contact with the bowstring. Their wrists were instantly sliced open by the bowstrings, and fresh blood flowed down.

They drew the bow at the same time, and the blood that was flowing on the bowstring had automatically turned into blood arrows. Their target was the Left Sage King Xiuzhe who was in the sea of lava.

Xiuzhe might be trapped in the lava, but he was still a formidable martial emperor; therefore, Zhang Tianheng and the others still gave him ample respect. If they attempted to approach and attack him, like a “dying dog”, Xiuzhe might just turn around and bite them. As such, they chose to attack from long range.

They were using one of the Demon Cult’s 36 secret arts, Heaven Vein Blood Arrow!

Two martial kings were using their qi blood as the price in exchange for absolute attack power. These two giant bows were divine weapons that were specially made.

If it was during normal times, Xiuzhe wouldn’t have been bothered, but now, his Edict of Black Death was constantly being weakened by the coal-seam fire and lava. When the two blood arrows were pointed at him, his heart gave off a warning sign of danger.

Helian Zhe, Murong Xing, and the rest of the Other Tribe experts attempted to stop Zhang Tianheng and Wang Dubao. However, they were naturally obstructed by Vajra, Shangguan Song, Elder Mingjing, and the other Demon Cult experts.

“Everyone, leave.”

Xiuzhe who was trapped in the sea of lava seemed to be waiting for death, but he ordered his Ten Gallants to back off.

Zhang Tianheng and Wang Dubao released the bowstrings and shot out in two long arcs across the sky. The blood-colored rainbows instantly arrived in front of Xiuzhe.

Xiuzhe yelled out and gathered his remaining Black Death Evil Force into two points to accurately block the two blood arrows.

However, Zhang Tianheng and Wang Dubao weren’t disappointed because of this. They had never expected to kill a martial emperor in a single attack. The Heaven Vein Blood Arrow attacks were just to disrupt Xiuzhe.

As expected, Xiuzhe was distracted from blocking the blood arrows, and the coal-seam fire immediately rose.

He was going to be buried! But right at this moment, Xiuzhe suddenly let out a long breath. After exhaling this breath, Xiuzhe looked extremely fatigued. However, his surrounding qi prowess suddenly burst in power!

Xiuzhe lifted one hand and formed a palm saber before slashing down.

The saber light constantly slashed forward and split open a path in the sea of lava.

The overcoat was completely burned, and Xiuzhe had already been turned into a man of flames. He endured the pain and took the opportunity to rush out of the lava trap. The Other Tribesmen who heard Xiuzhe’s orders earlier had already split up and retreated in all directions.

The Demon Cult members watched as the divided mass of lava gathered again. They were still deeply surprised by that scene earlier.

“Earlier on, was that… a saber move from the Flame Yellow

1

Ten Calamities?” Vajra asked with an uncertain tone.

Elder Mingjing and Shangguan Song nodded at the same time. “It is the Flame Yellow First Calamity.”

Flame Yellow Ten Calamities. The Other Tribe’s number one absolute art.

The Other Tribe Chieftain used this absolute art to stand at the apex of the Divine Province and obtained his title of “Saber Sovereign”. There were rumors that the Other Tribe’s Left Sage King Xiuzhe had also cultivated the Flame Yellow Ten Calamities when he was young.

However, he gave up on the saber dao after his youth and switched over to cultivate the Edict of Black Death which was rarely learned by the Other Tribesmen. Ultimately, Xiuzhe attained the completion level of the Edict of Black Death, an unprecedented level that was beyond their ancestors, and reached the martial emperor stage.

The Black Emperor had also become the number one expert of the Other Tribe, apart from the Other Tribe Chieftain.

Xiuzhe never expected to be utterly defeated by the Demon Sovereign again. It forced Xiuzhe to use his saber again. His saber move might not be as formidable as the Edict of Black Death that he had cultivated for many years, but the saber move wasn’t restrained by the coal-seam fire and lava. In the end, he was able to slash open a path to survival.

However, he had suffered severe injuries for this trip, and it was comparable to the injuries during the first battle with the Demon Sovereign. He had no choice but to quickly retreat.

On the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage, Chen Luoyang sat back down and leaned back on his throne with a relaxed expression. After listening to the situation of the battle that was reported by his subordinate, he casually waved his hand. “A disappointing individual will not be able to cause any huge commotion.”

After the subordinate withdrew, Chen Luoyang then let out a breath of relief. The thrilling sensation he had earlier was only relieved right now. This fight was different from when he faced the martial king that wanted to assassinate him. Just now, he was fighting with the Other Tribe’s Left Sage King Xiuzhe, a martial emperor. He was one of the few individuals that stood at the apex of the Grand Divine Province.

In normal situations, even Demon Sovereign at his prime couldn’t possibly end the battle in just a few moves and would need to put in some effort.

However, Chen Luoyang could only use one move, and this move had to strike at the vital point of the opponent. It was fortunate that the Black Emperor Xiuzhe had an obvious vital point. After using the black pot, Chen Luoyang found out that Xiuzhe might have increased the level of the Edict of Black Death, but his creation was still not comprehensive, and there was a flaw.

Xiuzhe’s 11th level of the Edict of Black Death should actually, more accurately, be called 10.5 instead of 11. Its power was indeed stronger than before, but it had an obvious flaw. In short, it was afraid of fire!

Of course, ordinary fire would definitely be useless, and it had to be extremely intense and aggressive flames. It was why Chen Luoyang picked the only volcano area in the Qian Prefecture, the Thousand Tides Mountain, as the location for the battle. It was why he didn’t use the Divine Martial Demon Fist but the slightly inferior absolute art, Great Sun Monarch Art.

It just happened to counteract Xiuzhe’s current Edict of Black Death and would target his flaw. In the end, it took just one attack to obtain victory. However, Xiuzhe’s fate was dependent on the sea of lava.

Even if Xiuzhe could escape, he would only be left with half a life, and it would probably be hard for him to be a threat for the rest of this war.

Chen Luoyang sighed in his heart. If it was any place other than the Thousand Tides Mountain, the outcome wouldn’t be like this.

Xiuzhe was obviously very clear about his own shortcoming, and it was only reasonable for a person to make use of the advantages and avoid the flaws.

It didn’t matter if he was minding his pride and dignity or he was afraid that the Demon Cult would throw Helian Zhe into the volcano, he still came to the Thousand Tides Mountain in the end.

Chen Luoyang’s eyes gradually calmed down. After all these thoughts had swirled around his mind, there was now only one thought left now.

What if I have a flaw or weakness that could be exploited by the enemy, just like Xiuzhe today? What should I do?

After a moment, Chen Luoyang let out a laugh involuntarily and shook his head.

At this moment, the members of the Demon Cult had returned to the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage to report back.

Earlier on, they were pursuing the rest of the Other Tribe experts and Xiuzhe. Within the hurricane formed by Xiao Yuntian, there were two other figures apart from him. He then tossed the two individuals on the ground. One of them was none other than Helian Zhe.

Xiao Yuntian hated Helian Zhe for using the Black Death Divine Pearl and had kept him in mind. Xiuzhe had been too busy fending for himself earlier, and it ended up with Helian Zhe being captured by Xiao Yuntian again. Chen Luoyang truly didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.

However, Chen Luoyang’s attention was now on another person. It was “Northern Desert’s Grand Physician” Zha Lei who had been treating Helian Zhe and had retreated together. As a result, they were both captured by Xiao Yuntian.

Chen Luoyang’s heart was slightly stirred. He was still pondering on how to concoct the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir.
