Chapter 1463: Chapter 1053: KO! (2)

Seeing the pollution aura becoming increasingly faint, everyone’s purification methods even had extra power, allowing them to purify the surrounding aura together. Yan Xuan watched as the master made three entries and exits, and within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, had resolved most of the enormous entity. The celebration banquet was just within reach, and he was overjoyed to cheer for everyone.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yuan entered the head once more, this time not even a hint of insult could be heard.

He was still puzzled when a notification suddenly popped up in his field of vision—

[Flame Demon Monarch’s remnant anger value +300, health -300!]

[Flame Demon Monarch KO!]

Damn it, who knew this Demon Monarch had such a temper!

The health bar instantly down to just one-fifth remaining, Jiang Yuan found it quite amusing to see the last bit of remnant thought collapse on itself. Is this an enemy? No! This is clearly a good Demon Monarch voluntarily offering warmth!

When entering the head one last time, the surrounding light had brightened considerably.

"Are you now solely seeking death?" After the light changed, Jiang Yuan could finally make out the massive body of the pitch-black Fiery Evil Demon Monarch that stretched beyond sight. But this time, the other party neither cursed nor "killed" itself out of anger, so he had to say something.

Once the health bar hit zero, everyone could temporarily return to the courtyard to rest.

Perhaps, with a bit more effort, they could find the next item tonight and purify it.

"Even though you are merely a remnant obsession, you should know that your body has been divided and suppressed into five pieces. So even if this obsession is extinguished, other remnants still have obsessions existing within them."

"Nine pieces." The other party replied suddenly, and his body gradually transformed into a height of over three meters, slightly bowing his head to gaze down at Jiang Yuan.

He was a bit dazed, "What?"

"My body was divided into nine pieces: the head, arms, legs, torso, and a pair of wings, each suppressed in the east, south, west, north, and center positions of the Sun Palace; moreover, my internal organs and magic pearl were suppressed in the southeast, southwest, northwest, northeast slant positions."

Fiery Evil Demon Monarch stated coldly: "The obsession exists in the remnants at the five positions, and they are interconnected. Right now, I am restrained and can do nothing to you, but when you enter other demon bodies, it won’t be so lucky for you."

Jiang Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows, thinking that when switching to other remnants, the mode of battle should change too.

Thus, while he could talk without fighting, he tried to extract more information.

"Since we cannot fight here, why not sit down and chat?" He took out a cushion from his storage bag, sat down comfortably, and sipped a cup of spirit tea to replenish his physical strength, "I have some food here that demon cultivators like, but as an Outer Heaven Demon, you might not be of the same kind as the demon race of the mortal world, and thus cannot eat it."

Being provoked into "anger" several times, he realized his power was weakening significantly.

To avoid completely dissipating, the obsession could only endure the anger, sit cross-legged opposite, and say with annoyance: "The demon race of the mortal world, hah... they’re just inferior imitations modeled after Outer Heaven Demons."

Imitations? Could it be related to the Tree of Life?

"Who created these imitations? The Heavenly Dao?"

"What else? The entire world you live in, besides the Heavenly Dao, what else is there? Even the Tree of Time has been shattered, and the World Tree has long since withered!" For some reason, suddenly very angry, Fiery Evil Demon Monarch sneered: "It’s just a dead end, the Heavenly Dao is flawed, sooner or later you will become food for the Outer Heaven Demons."

Jiang Yuan remembered the Time Pavilion in their courtyard was made from the trunk of a Time Tree, so when he said the Tree of Time was shattered, it was indeed true;

As for the World Tree, he was still gathering upgrade materials, which was admittedly hard to come by, so although it was nurtured, it still appeared quite small in comparison.

"Can senior elaborate? What happened to the Time and World Trees? How are they related to the Life Tree of the Outer Heaven Demons?"

"Trying to extract information from me?" A hint of amusement appeared on the other party’s face, "What benefit could you offer me?"

He was amused, and Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "Mainly because even if I wanted to give you something now, senior wouldn’t be able to use it, right? You should be able to feel the purification power outside, actually once reaching other remnants, I can completely avoid meeting you.

We can just chip away at it slowly, after all, you can’t run, little by little your obsession will dissipate entirely someday.

However... I heard the senior’s obsession seems not only to await news of our defeat. A Demon Monarch, after all the humiliations suffered in the past, wouldn’t you want to retaliate?"

His last sentence left the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch in silence.

Why did he work so hard to become a Demon Monarch, desperately earning merit? Ultimately, it was to wash away the shame with dazzling merit and contributions to the tribe!

He wants to return triumphant, to return home in glory, to make those who laughed at him or humiliated him in the past kneel at his feet and beg for mercy!

He wants to tell the whole world with his power and action—so what if the bloodline is impure? I’m more noble than those pure-blooded Heavenly or Evil Demons!

"But... I lost." Fiery Evil Demon Monarch’s voice was slightly hoarse, "Now, besides a remnant obsession, I have nothing left."

[Flame Demon Monarch’s remnant anger value +40, health -40!]

"Don’t get mad!" Jiang Yuan looked at the red prompt that popped up suddenly, thinking how did talking make you collapse again?

He quickly calmed him, "You’re just having a powerless rage, calm down, maybe I have a way for you to get what you wish."

The other party stared with crimson eyes at the young face, coldly asking, "Who exactly are you? Why help me? What reason do I have to trust you?"

Jiang Yuan finished the spirit tea, put away the teacup and spread his hands, "If you really don’t believe it, I have no choice. As for myself, I’m just a farmer, working on a small courtyard to plant flowers and grass, and picked up some deserted lands in the void, pinched two new worlds just like that.

I have no great abilities, and it’s not so much as helping you, mainly curious why the Outer Heaven Demons must eat us.

Senior, tell me what you can, anyway, this demon body will become mine sooner or later, let’s not beat around the bush, should the opportunity arise, I can use this demon body to trample those who humiliated senior underfoot!"

"Ha, you’re indeed open, wanting to use my demon body to slaughter my kin?"

"Did they regard you as kin? You’ve ended up like this, no need for self-deception, right senior?"

The other party stalled again, anger value silently rising to 30, and the health bar was seen to clear itself. Jiang Yuan thought this temper was really rare, even driving oneself crazy.

"Where should I begin?" Fiery Evil Demon Monarch pondered for a moment and eventually chose to compromise.

The boy had a point, he was as dead as can be, leaving only this remnant obsession, and couldn’t last long under purification methods. Since about to vanish, why not leave a contingency plan, to, perhaps, trouble those who once humiliated him?

If he could really succeed, it would be quite satisfying!

Of course, even if he obtained his demon body, the boy alone could not interfere with the great affairs of the Outer Heaven Demons, so he wasn’t much of a threat.

"There’s a saying, whether in your world or among Outer Heaven Demons, often heard. It’s something like: there’s always someone better, there’s always a higher heaven, you should know, right?" He asked, then answered himself: "In fact, these words contain an unexplored great truth—there are heavens beyond heavens, gods beyond even greater gods."

"Nested Dolls? Heaven beyond heavenly heavens, and immortals above have even more powerful immortals, infinitely endless?"

The other swung his black-iron-like large clawed fingers, "Not exactly endless, to my knowledge, beyond Outer Heaven Demons and True Gods of Heavenly Dao is the highest existence.

What exactly it is, I’ve never seen; there are many rumors yet no concrete evidence.

Some say it’s a tree full of suns, each mature sun creating twin massive worlds of light and dark. Outer Heaven Demons occupy the dark; the Heavenly Dao occupies the light.

Some claim it’s a plain circular shape, primordial world unapproachable by gods or demons. Everything is within its calculations, and the reality we hold dear is but a midsummer night’s dream simulated in that circle.

No matter what the supreme existence truly is, ancient legends share similarities—since the world’s inception, where there is light, there is dark. At that time, the Tree of Time, the World Tree, and the Tree of Life sprouted earliest and flourishing on the side of light, gave rise to countless complete worlds.

In complete worlds, there are the Celestial, Mortal, and Nether realms, with an unending cycle. The mortal realm contains countless derived little worlds, with humans, demon race, and demon race maintaining a delicate balance and flourishing together.

As for the side occupied by darkness, it’s completely different..."
