Chapter 856: Negotiation Specialist

Suspended in mid-air, the Inferior Demon saw this spectacle, its mouth slightly agape, revealing an expression of absolute astonishment. It felt an uncontrollable fear emanating from Chen Feng. At this moment, the young girl murmured to herself, “Master… has grown stronger again!”

At the same time, the Blazing Demon exhaled a breath of scorching heat. On Chen Feng, it recognized a familiar aura. Indeed, Chen Feng’s current power equaled its own, successfully advancing to a Half-Step Epic!

This left the Blazing Demon somewhat regretful. If it had taken that pill itself, it might have compensated for the loss of divinity, stepping into that ultimate realm in one fell swoop.

But the Blazing Demon also knew well that this was merely wishful thinking. The pill belonged to Chen Feng, as it must, and beings like itself existed for only one purpose: to prioritize Chen Feng and consider everything for his sake.

In the ink-black eyes, brilliant red light interwove. Moments later, it suddenly surged up violently, covering the entire eye. For a moment, Chen Feng’s pupils turned crimson, exuding a faintly sinister vibe.

Opening his eyes, Chen Feng slightly twisted his neck. Instantly, a series of crisp crackling sounds emerged from the collision of bones. Listening to this clear sound, Chen Feng took a deep breath, his face full of comfort and ecstasy.

“Is this the realm of Half-Step Epic?” Feeling the power flowing within him, the corners of Chen Feng’s mouth curled into a smile. He had never felt this powerful before!

At this moment, Chen Feng clenched his fist. A moment later, an aura several times stronger than before suddenly burst forth from within him.

It was not until this moment that Chen Feng truly confirmed that Pang Mu was indeed his lucky star, not only allowing him to obtain a Sub-divine Artifact but also stepping into the long-desired realm!

Half-Step Epic, a realm stronger than Legendary. Only then did Chen Feng understand why previously, even multiple Legendary Tier Summoned Beasts were no match for Pang Mu.

That was because both their lives had undergone transformation once again.

“Master!” Seeing Chen Feng’s successful advancement, the Inferior Demon could no longer contain its longing. With a leap, it rushed toward Chen Feng, diving straight into his embrace.

During the battle with Pang Mu, the Inferior Demon had once transformed into its second form, with a body full of corpses. Chen Feng had grown used to it, so he said nothing, only patting the other’s head and letting the Inferior Demon step down from his embrace.

“Congratulations, Master, on further strengthening your power.” In contrast, the Blazing Demon appeared much more formal, standing aside without daring to make overly intimate gestures with Chen Feng, merely offering praise.

Demons never know how to flatter.

The Blazing Demon managing this much was already adapting to local customs.

After comforting the Inferior Demon, Chen Feng turned his attention to the Sea God’s Residence nearby. Amid ongoing battles, this force was the most severely affected by the interference.

Under the gloomy aura of the Dark Son, a large-scale armed conflict erupted at the Sea God’s Residence. At this moment, every deck was filled with blood, and from time to time, one could see some bodies falling aside.

Additionally, the clash of powerful fighters altered the environment significantly. Those surging waves towered several meters high. Even though the ships were connected, the terrifying waves still caused some ships to be wrecked and damaged, leading to numerous casualties.

In any upheaval in this world, it is always the ordinary people who suffer the most severe injuries.

“Wooo…”

At this juncture, a mournful sound emerged from afar. It was from the Legendary Giant Whale, previously caught by the Inferior Demon and severely injured, rendering it immobile. Now, seeing its once-loyal master die miserably, combined with the realization of its impending death, the whale inevitably felt a sense of sorrow.

According to Pang Mu’s previous narrative, perhaps the other was once human, but in pursuit of greater survival ability, it willingly abandoned its human form to become a giant ocean beast. However, humans plan, and the heavens laugh; the whale failed to foresee that even then, it still could not escape death.

Reflecting on how it forsook its human body for so-called power, this is no different from true transformation. As a man, even the most basic joys were unattainable; all it sought was for its family to have shelter in the apocalypse.

Yet…

In the end, it was all just a dream. This blow was more unbearable than the death of its former master.

As a result, the Legendary Giant Whale’s heart filled with grief, continually wailing on the sea surface.

This truly was a pitiful sight, one that hurt the hearts of those who heard and brought tears to the eyes of those who saw.

“Such a noise!” The Inferior Demon clung to Chen Feng’s leg, acting coquettishly. It merely wanted to spend more time with its master, yet the whale’s lament disrupted its peace of mind.

“Courting death!” The Inferior Demon frowned, its small face puffed up in anger. At this moment, it extended a tender finger and pointed forward, clearly intending to cast a spell to point the Legendary Giant Whale to death with a single finger!

“Wait!” At the critical moment, Chen Feng pressed his hand on the Inferior Demon’s head, restraining its murderous intent.

Chen Feng gazed ahead. The Legendary Giant Whale was now extremely weak, and if the Inferior Demon acted, it would surely have no chance of survival. However, Chen Feng still had use for it.

They still needed to return home!

They still needed to return to Order!

Compared to the Golden Tier Heaven-Reaching Python, the Legendary Giant Whale’s strength was undoubtedly a level stronger.

Previously, subduing it would have been near impossible, with the child of destiny Pang Mu as its backing. It would not have heeded Chen Feng’s summons.

But now, things were different. Pang Mu was dead, the entire Sea God’s Residence was leaderless, and moreover, Chen Feng had stepped into Half-Step Epic, his strength had multiplied many times over since before. With this mounting pressure on the other, there was no reason to refuse Chen Feng, unless it was foolishly loyal.

However, with Chen Feng’s current status, he naturally would not personally go to issue summons, as that would be beneath him. His hand searchingly touched some smooth strands of hair, and looking down, the Inferior Demon was gazing up at him obediently.

Chen Feng suddenly laughed. He had found the most suitable negotiation expert.

Previously, the Legendary Giant Whale had been severely wounded by the Inferior Demon, so seeing it was akin to a mouse seeing a cat, frightened out of its wits. Thus, to have the Inferior Demon persuade it to surrender was undoubtedly the best choice.

With this thought, Chen Feng spoke a few words to the Inferior Demon, who nodded and then unfurled its wings, flying toward the whale.

The process was unexpectedly flawless. The Inferior Demon first gave the whale a solid beating before conveying the intent of surrender. At this moment, the Legendary Giant Whale was desperate to live; hearing the Inferior Demon’s persuasive offer, how could it refuse? It hurriedly responded affirmatively, agreeing to the demand.

The Mind-Reading Demon had perished, but a Legendary Tier marine creature was subdued. For Chen Feng, the loss was minimal at best.

Having resolved the immediate issue, Chen Feng redirected his focus to the Sea God’s Residence. To him, aside from the Sub-divine Artifact and the Pill, these people before him were also one of the greatest gains of this ordeal!
