Chapter 878 - 872: The Struggle Between Demon Lord and Luo Hou

Lin Yuan and Luo Hou were both trapped in their own deadlock, with Lin Yuan searching for a way to break the impasse, and Luo Hou doing the same.

For Luo Hou, the method to break the impasse was actually quite simple.

That is.

To make the Demon Lord obedient.

As long as the Demon Lord gets over his rebellious phase and listens obediently, Luo Hou’s plan can still be implemented.

However, speaking of which, making the Demon Lord get over his rebellious phase and listen obediently, is easier said than done.

Luo Hou and the Demon Lord have been entangled for so long that Luo Hou’s patience was gradually worn out.

Chaos Space.

In the mysterious place where Luo Hou initially transferred his powers to the Demon Lord, Luo Hou was already feeling anxious.

"Damn Demon Lord, you ruined my plan!"

"No, I must make you listen obediently." Luo Hou secretly made up his mind.

Luo Hou felt that everything the Demon Lord possessed now was given by him.

Since he could give, he could also take away.

If it weren’t for him giving the Demon Lord all this, the Demon Lord would have long since become prey to the Chaos Star Beasts.

In Luo Hou’s view, since he granted the Demon Lord all this, the Demon Lord should obey him.

If the Demon Lord disobeys, he will give him a harsh lesson.

Luo Hou thought it was time to turn hostile; if not, his plan would be completely ruined by the Demon Lord.

...

...

Within the Chaos Space.

The Demon Lord was searching for Luo Hou’s whereabouts, unwilling to be reduced to Luo Hou’s pawn; even in death, he wanted to settle accounts with Luo Hou.

Although the Demon Lord was reckless and easily angered, he still had some backbone.

He could die standing but would never live on his knees.

While searching for Luo Hou, he suddenly froze, the flames in his skull’s eyesockets flickering violently.

The Demon Lord realized something was wrong.

In a trance, the Demon Lord’s massive body stiffened in place; he discovered he could no longer control his own body.

The next moment, he saw the tentacles under his skull detaching and fleeing in all directions.

Splitting up for action?

Indeed, splitting up for action.

Demon Lord: "?????"

The Demon Lord was genuinely confused, standing there unable to understand.

After a long while, the Demon Lord’s expression softened slightly; he knew this must have been Luo Hou’s doing.

Despite not wanting to admit it, he had to accept that everything about him now was given by Luo Hou.

The tentacles under his skull were a crucial part of his strength.

Now, Luo Hou took back those tentacles, which equaled reclaiming the power he bestowed.

However, the Demon Lord did not feel panicked.

Before coming to Luo Hou, the Demon Lord had considered this; he knew he was very likely not a match for Luo Hou.

Yet, the Demon Lord still came.

The Demon Lord was an unlucky fellow; either way, it was a death sentence.

He could either continue being Luo Hou’s pawn, dying confusedly at Lin Yuan’s hands.

Or refuse to be Luo Hou’s pawn, confront Luo Hou, and die with clarity.

Without a doubt, the Demon Lord chose the latter.

Having chosen the latter, everything happening now was within the Demon Lord’s expectations.

The Demon Lord was unflustered, waiting for this moment all along.

Since Luo Hou took back the powers he granted, he was likely to appear soon.

The Demon Lord looked around and shouted, "Luo Hou, come out!"

"I think we need to have a proper talk!"

To his surprise, the Demon Lord underestimated Luo Hou.

Luo Hou’s cowardice exceeded the Demon Lord’s expectations.

Even with things developing to this point, Luo Hou still did not show up.

No matter how the Demon Lord called, Luo Hou did not appear.

Luo Hou dared not come out.

In reality, even if he did come out, he couldn’t do anything to the Demon Lord.

Taking back everything he granted the Demon Lord was already the limit of what he could do.

Because the Demon Lord was tangible, and Luo Hou was intangible.

The intangible cannot harm the tangible; even if Luo Hou appeared, he couldn’t harm the Demon Lord.

Retracting all the powers granted to the Demon Lord was his biggest punishment.

But even having retracted all the powers he gave the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord was left with a skull.

This skull was transformed from the Demon Lord’s true form; even a broken ship has three nails, and this last main form had some tricks.

Although Luo Hou dared not come out, it didn’t mean he would let the Demon Lord go.

Luo Hou, once he makes a move, he is set on achieving his goal.

So, what was Luo Hou’s goal?

Luo Hou’s goal was simple: to make the Demon Lord yield and continue working for him.

Despite the Demon Lord’s continuous calls, Luo Hou still did not appear.

Though Luo Hou did not show up, around them, in the pitch-black liquid appeared massive silhouettes.

These massive silhouettes circled the Demon Lord, and they were Chaos Star Beasts.

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand....

Countless Chaos Star Beasts thoroughly surrounded the Demon Lord.

The last time the Demon Lord saw so many Chaos Star Beasts was when the Buddha sacrificed him, the first time he entered the Chaos Space.

This is the Chaos Space; as long as Luo Hou wills it, he can create endless Chaos Star Beasts.

Now, the Demon Lord understood everything clearly.

Previously, when Luo Hou said he would give him the position of the Chaos Star Beasts’ Father God, making them listen to his commands.

Now it seems, it was all false.

The Father God of the Chaos Star Beasts has always been Luo Hou; only Luo Hou can thoroughly control these Chaos Star Beasts.

From start to finish, the Chaos Star Beasts were just cooperating with Luo Hou, putting on a show for the Demon Lord.

The reason the Demon Lord could control the Chaos Star Beasts was merely that Luo Hou gave him the authority to control them.

The Demon Lord suddenly realized, at this moment even more, that Luo Hou had been using him from beginning to end.

At this moment, from the front of the Chaos Star Beast group, one Chaos Star Beast stepped forward and issued a strange sound toward the Demon Lord.

"Demon Lord, do not persist in your folly."

"The ocean of bitterness is boundless, turn back and you will find salvation; if you turn back now, I will pardon your sins." the Chaos Star Beast said to the Demon Lord.

Demon Lord: "?????"

The Demon Lord was taken aback, then quickly recognized the tone of the Chaos Star Beast.

This was Luo Hou, it was definitely Luo Hou.

Luo Hou was borrowing a body to speak, warning the Demon Lord.

However, if only a warning could deter the Demon Lord, he wouldn’t have rebelled or defied Luo Hou’s wishes.

"Turn back?"

"Turn back for you to continue using me?" The Demon Lord’s face turned cold, then he screamed hysterically, "Why, why is it always me?"

"Using me over and over, what do you really mean?"

However, the words spoken by the Chaos Star Beast controlled by Luo Hou only chilled the Demon Lord further.

"Being used by me is your honor?"

"If you persist in ignorance, I won’t just retract your abilities, but offer you as a sacrifice to the Chaos Star Beasts." Luo Hou issued a blatant threat to the Demon Lord.
