Rise of the Demon God

The Demon Emperor told Long Chen everything about the mysterious human cultivator known as Tian Shen.

Although the Demon Emperor didn't know why Long Chen wanted to know about him, he didn't hold any information back, worried about the Demonic Ancestor who was residing inside Long Chen's body.

Hearing the information about Tian Shen, Long Chen grew more serious. At first, he used to think that Tian Shen was the Bloodline Ancestor who was behind his rapid growth and that he was a good person. But with time, he came to realize the truth.

Tian Shen wasn't what he thought. Instead, Tian Shen was a manipulator who wanted to take the Bloodline Inheritance of Long Chen. He had already killed all others who had this Bloodline and only Long Chen was left.

Not only that, he had also manipulated the treasure spirit Xun into fooling Long Chen. Although Long Chen found out about this and turned Xun to his side while creating a human body for her, the danger still wasn't over.

Now that he knew that Tian Shen was awake from his millennia old slumber, things had gotten more complicated.

Long Chen thought he had more time before Tian Shen was going to awaken. At that time, he wanted to find the place where Tian Shen was sleeping so he could kill him directly.

Unfortunately, by the time he reached that place, Tian Shen had already left, awakened from his slumber..

Fortunately, the trip wasn't all in vain as he had found the sealed Spirit of the Demonic Ancestor inside a statue. After he freed the Demonic Ancestor, the two came to a concession as Long Chen allowed him to stay inside his body, occasionally even letting him possess it.

It was thanks to the Demonic Ancestor that Long Chen was able to fight against the Ancestral Beasts and successfully escape.

However, no matter how strong the Demonic Ancestor had been in his past, currently he was just in his spirit form and much weaker than at his peak. Even with the help of the Demonic Ancestor, Long Chen held some doubts if they could actually kill Tian Shen who had single handedly went against Heaven in the past.

After his long slumber, it was given that Tian Shen was even stronger.

Despite some doubts creeping in, Long Chen didn't lose his confidence. For his survival, Tian Shen had to die. There was no other option. And if he was going to die anyway, then he was going to die fighting.

"Why are you asking about Tian Shen at this time?" The Demon Emperor finally couldn't control his curiosity as he asked. "Shouldn't he be dead by now?"

"If only," Long Chen muttered under his breath, a flicker of determination crossing his eyes. "Not only is he alive, but he's also returned to finish what he started."

He further commanded, "Can you spread out your information all around to trace him? No matter what, I want to find him."

Long Chen knew that Tian Shen was going to come for him. Instead of waiting for that moment, he wanted to take the lead and finish this once and for all.

The Demon Emperor frowned, getting a few hints. For Long Chen to be so serious about Tian Shen, he realized that it was possible that there was some enmity between them.

Realizing that, he had a headache. When in the past Tian Shen fought against Heaven, the Demon Emperor was just enjoying the sight, watching heaven losing its forces. But he never expected that one day, they were going to become the Target of that maniac.

If it wasn't for the confidence he had thanks to the Demonic Ancestor's presence, he might've even asked Long Chen to leave so he could avoid this unnecessary trouble. But with the Demonic Ancestor, he felt more confident that they could deal with Tian Shen without much losses.

"I'll deal with it." The Demon Emperor nodded as he stood up to leave after greeting the Demonic Ancestor one more time.

"Please have some rest in the meantime. I'll inform you if anything turns up."

The Demon Ancestor didn't say anything, simply watching his descendant leave.

The Princess also left, glancing at Long Chen one last time. Meanwhile, the friends of Long Chen who had accompanied him had already been settled in other rooms to rest.

"Are you really that worried about a mere human?" The Demon Ancestor laughed at Long Chen's seriousness, finding it funny that he was getting concerned about a human. "In my peak days, I could've killed him with a single finger without even using one percent of my strength."

"That's the problem. You're not at your peak. And so is the case for me. Unlike us, he had been sleeping for millennia, gathering his strength for this moment. I doubt things are going to go as easy as you imagine," Long Chen stood up, explaining his concerns.

Long Chen didn't take the enemy lightly. And he couldn't afford to do that right, because he knew what a terrible mistake it was. He had seen the visions of Tian Shen annihilating the Heavenly Warriors. Not only he did that, but he even managed to leave safely.

It was someone who had waged a war on heaven and that was when he wasn't even at his strongest. He was even stronger now.

Tian Shen needed his blood and Long Chen was sure that now that he was awake, it was only a matter of time before they were going to end up before each other. All his attempts to kill Tian Shen before he awakened had ended up a failure.

While thinking, Long Chen walked over to the window and looked outside the Demon Palace in the city. Although this was the Demon Realm and it was filled with a strange and dark aura, the city also looked more peaceful than he imagined when he came here.

There was no Chaos like he thought. Although there were battles in the street, they were limited and didn't destroy the surroundings. It was like the land of the free, where you could do anything as long as you didn't break any laws.

"You're right about one thing. I'm not who I used to be. And you're also not how strong you can be. But isn't there an easy solution for that?" The Demonic Ancestor laughed. "Learn from me. Inherit the lost knowledge from the peak days of the Demons that even the current Demon Emperor doesn't possess.'

"We're in the land of the Demons. Here, you have access to all the resources you can need. And with my support, no one will refuse anything. What better place for you to get stronger?" The Demonic Ancestor reminded Long Chen.

"But before I teach you anything, you need to fulfill my wish. You haven't forgotten our deal, have you?" he further asked.

Long Chen took a brief pause before he replied, "I remember... The Destruction of Heaven. That's the deal."
