Chapter 2737: The Second Demon God of the Abyss

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up as he asked, “What are the two methods? Tell me about them.”

“This first method, well, I guess you probably wouldn’t accept it…”

“Tell me first, how do you know I wouldn’t accept it?”

“Alright, this first method I call the Extreme Yin Art, but it’s extremely simple. You only need to take the Chaos Sword and slay two hundred utterly evil individuals, and that will completely unlock the seal within the Chaos Sword, allowing you to wield its full form.”

“What’s so difficult about that? This Sword has already slain countless evildoers, surely more than two hundred…”

The Demon shook his head, “These two hundred evil individuals come with certain requirements; they need to be two hundred extremely evil children, meaning you have to slay inherently wicked beings.”

“The common saying is that human nature is inherently good, but I disagree. I believe human nature is inherently evil. Every person is born selfish and evil. If you give two infants a cup of milk, do you think they will kindly share?”

“Not at all, they will just fight for it, using every means available to infants against each other until one of them gets the milk.”

The Demon shook his head, “Humans, oh, are such selfish, competitive creatures, fighting with each other, with nature, and even with the world until they are satisfied. Sometimes I think it’s quite pathetic.”

“So, this method is quite simple too. You almost merely need to use the Chaos Sword to slay two hundred infants, and in no time, you can completely master the Chaos Sword.”

Ling Feng’s gaze was icy cold as he slapped the Demon and cursed, “What kind of damned method is this? Human nature is inherently evil? Are you going to let me master the Chaos Sword or not? If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll cut you down right now.”

“I’ll use you, this wicked thing, to sacrifice to the Sword first!”

The Demon laughed and said, “I couldn’t possibly deceive you. As you just said, we are neither enemies nor friends, just trying to make a mutually beneficial deal. Of course, I want to help you. Once you master the Chaos Sword, I’ll be liberated.”

“So, I certainly wouldn’t deceive you. Besides, I already said this is the Extreme Yin Art, which you probably wouldn’t accept, so it’s just for your information, and I, myself, don’t recommend using this method.”

“Although it is highly convenient, it has significant side effects. You will bring about such massive slaughter. Although they are inherently evil beings, they are still lives, and your heart will be tainted. The Chaos Sword will also be stained with an indelible bloody shadow.”

“The Chaos Sword unsealed in such a way comes from an improper source. Although the power becomes immensely strong, prolonged use will also corrupt the true kindness and beauty of the wielder, and eventually, you’ll turn into a killing Devil.”

Ling Feng angrily said, “Then why did you even bring up such a method? Is there plenty of time? Just here to entertain yourself? I think you’re tired of living!”

“I wouldn’t dare,” The Demon laughed, “I said it’s just for your information. If you don’t accept it, fine, there’s also a second method.”

“This second method I naturally call the Extreme Yang Art. The Chaos Sword’s true form is extraordinarily powerful, a rare Imperial Magical Treasure in the universe. Its users and masters are often rulers dominant in their territories.”

“The reason you cannot master the Chaos Sword not only relates to its strength and seals but also because you lack an aura of an Overlord, so this method is about enhancing your aura of an Overlord.”

“You only need to use the Overlord Sword to kill seven individuals at a king level, gender and race don’t matter, as long as they are rulers of their domains.”

“This method works by killing kings to seize their Overlord aura and apply it to yourself. Once the aura is fully acquired, you’ll naturally control the entire power of the Chaos Sword. Just seven will do, though the more, the better.”

“Where do I go to find these kings, and ones that are so easy to kill?” Ling Feng coldly said.

The Demon shook his head, “Kings here is a broad term; it doesn’t just refer to an emperor of a dynasty but can also mean a leader of a force, though that force needs to be substantial – best if it’s a world ruler.”

“That way, the Overlord aura on them is rich enough. In my era, although heroes rose up, there were many leaders too, like the Human Emperor or Demon King, whose Overlord aura often carried the strength of an entire clan.”

“Extremely thick, if you can kill a few such level beings, you can easily master an Imperial Magical Treasure like the Chaos Sword.”

Ling Feng nodded, already thinking of the Human Emperor and Demon King of the Nine Provinces. Though Ling Feng internally considered himself unafraid of these formidable figures, killing them would still be a challenge since even if they couldn’t defeat him, they could escape, right?

Moreover, this is their world, and in terms of world familiarity and the ability to wield the Force of Heaven and Earth, they would certainly surpass Ling Feng.

Ling Feng gazed intently at the Demon and then asked a key question, “How do you know these two methods, and how do you know about the Chaos Sword? Just be honest, what exactly are you, and what’s your relation to the Chaos Sword?”

The Demon was momentarily stunned before bursting into loud laughter, “Since you, youngling, ask, I’m not afraid to let you know.”

Dark auras materialized around the Demon, forming a throne on the island. The Demon then ascended to the high throne and looked down on Ling Feng below, loudly proclaiming:

“I am the second Demon God of the Abyss back then, Chao Yan!”

“Back in the day, my standing in the Abyss was second only to the first Demon God. I didn’t expect to fall this low today, to the point of making deals with a youngling like you, and even getting humiliated by you. Truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plain to be bullied by dogs!”

Chao Yan shook his head, while Ling Feng looked disdainfully at the throne where Chao Yan sat, then with a Sword strike shattered the dark aura of the throne, causing Chao Yan to fall back to the ground.

“What are you pretending to be? What kind of place is the Abyss anyway? And what’s this about being the second Demon God? If you were so powerful, why are you still trapped here?”

Chao Yan’s eyes showed deep resentment, then he said with hatred, “All because of that despicable Lu Wutong. I used to arrogantly consider myself unrivaled, second only to the first Demon God, but unexpectedly, a mere human appeared in the Abyss…”
