Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Great Demon’s Request

This Red Giant Ape was clad in Divine Power Armor. Its pauldrons were shaped like two ferocious, blood-red dragon heads, and a ring of giant beast skulls was wrapped around its waist. In its right hand, it held an immense, pitch-black club.

It stood there like the very center of the universe, a colossal pillar connecting heaven and earth.

Although the giant ape remained standing, its body was covered in grievous wounds, completely devoid of any vitality.

More importantly, the faint aura it emanated far surpassed that of any powerhouse Yi Xiaoyao had ever encountered.

’Is this the master of the Great Demon Ancient Tomb? To possess such divine might even after death... I can’t imagine what level of powerhouse it must have been in life...’

Yi Xiaoyao’s heart was filled with a storm of emotions. Even an existence this powerful could not escape death.

Yun Mengling’s mouth was slightly agape. She said, "Do you remember the voice of the Great Demon Will we heard earlier?"

"’Fight, fight, fight! My body is indestructible, the Prince will not die?’" Yi Xiaoyao nodded and repeated the words spoken by the will.

As he spoke, the words began to echo throughout the great hall, repeating over and over, the voices overlapping as waves of power rolled out.

As the voice of the will resounded in their souls, Yi Xiaoyao and Yun Mengling felt as if they were being pulled into another world.

The scene around them abruptly changed. Before their eyes lay a vast Barbaric Battlefield.

Across the battlefield, tens of thousands of Silver Armored Warriors were frantically unleashing a barrage of dazzling attacks at a massive, red-haired man. The man swung his black club, bringing it crashing down!

BOOM!

The world trembled. The ground split open, forming an immense chasm, and countless Silver Armored Warriors were instantly turned to dust.

When the dust settled, the massive, red-haired man slowly rose to his feet and pointed his black club toward the sky.

In the direction his club pointed, figure after figure appeared, all clad in golden armor, descending in an instant.

"Red General Demon Ape, hand over the Demon Emperor’s son! On account of your loyalty, we will grant you an intact corpse!"

"You vile beast! If you continue this pointless resistance, we will ensure you die without a grave!"

"Why waste words on this beast? Just kill him and take the Demon Emperor’s son!"

Each of the Golden Armor Powerhouses possessed a heaven-shaking aura. They raised their hands, unleashing attacks that blotted out the sky as they simultaneously bombarded the massive, red-haired man.

"As long as I am here, no one will touch the Demon Race Prince!"

The massive, red-haired man let out a heavenward roar and furiously pounded his chest. His body suddenly swelled, instantly transforming into a colossal Red Giant Ape.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! My body is indestructible, the Prince will not die!"

The Red Demon Ape let out a long, heavenward roar. The sound waves erupting from its massive maw made the world tremble and stirred up a gale.

The next moment, the Red Giant Ape leaped, transforming into a colossal streak of red light that shot toward the heavens. The black club in its hand instantly swelled to an immense size, and a single swing was enough to shake the world!

The Golden Armor Powerhouses all attacked, each unleashing their own Divine Techniques as they clashed with the Red Giant Ape.

The sky boomed continuously. A single shockwave from the battle was enough to level countless mountains and reverse the flow of entire rivers.

The battle was apocalyptic, plunging the world into darkness.

The protective red aura around the Red Giant Ape’s body blocked countless earth-shattering attacks, but it was hopelessly outnumbered and gradually became covered in wounds.

"To protect the Prince, what is death to me! Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm!!!"

Finally, with a furious roar, the Red Giant Ape detonated its own Demon Core. It erupted into a raging inferno as the ape struck out with a world-rending, colossal palm of red demonic flame, annihilating the Jin Family powerhouses before it and turning them to ash.

...

BOOM!

Yi Xiaoyao and Yun Mengling’s bodies both jolted as they snapped out of the vision. They gasped for breath, the scene feeling as real as if they had lived through it themselves.

They both looked up at the corpse of the Red Giant Ape before them, their minds reeling. ’What a terrifying Great Demon,’ they thought, ’to fight so many supreme powerhouses all by itself!’

"Even though that Great Demon wasn’t one of our kind, I can’t help but feel immense admiration for it!" Yi Xiaoyao exclaimed in awe.

Yun Mengling agreed with a sigh of admiration. "Yes. The fact that this senior Great Demon would rather die than fail to protect the Prince he spoke of... that loyalty alone is worthy of our respect."

As if sharing the same thought, the two exchanged a look and then gave a deep, sincere bow to the Red Giant Ape.

Just then, an ancient, weary voice echoed in their souls.

"I never expected... After waiting for so many years, to be found by two young humans."

Hearing this voice, Yi Xiaoyao and Yun Mengling were utterly shocked.

Before they could speak, the voice sounded again. "There is no need to be alarmed. I have been dead for many years. This is merely a remnant of my will that has endured."

Yi Xiaoyao finally let out a sigh of relief and called out, "Senior Great Demon, although we are not of your race, we hold you in the highest esteem and mean you no harm."

The will’s voice rumbled, "I can naturally see that you bear no ill will. That is the only reason I am speaking with you. Otherwise, had you shown the slightest disrespect, I would have already annihilated you. Though I am dead, killing the two of you would be a simple matter."

At this, Yi Xiaoyao and Yun Mengling shared a bitter smile as cold sweat trickled down their foreheads once more.

After witnessing the Great Demon’s world-destroying power in the vision, neither of them had the slightest doubt about his words.

"What is it that you wish to say to us, Senior?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.

The Great Demon Will said, "You two sought out this place, undoubtedly to obtain some Creation from me. I can give you this Creation, but only on the condition that you agree to a request of mine."

Yi Xiaoyao and Yun Mengling’s faces lit up, and they quickly asked, "What is your request? Please, Senior, tell us."

"You two must take the Prince from this place. In the future, you must help him return to the Demon Race and ascend to the throne of the Demon Emperor!" the Great Demon Will said. "Can you do this?"

Yi Xiaoyao’s brow furrowed. He had just seen in the vision of the Barbaric Battlefield how many terrifyingly powerful experts were hunting the so-called Demon Race Prince. Agreeing to the Great Demon Will’s request meant shouldering an enormous risk.

But Yi Xiaoyao was no fool. ’He and Yun Mengling now know the secret that the Demon Race Prince is here,’ he thought. ’If we don’t agree to the Great Demon Will’s request, how could this powerful Great Demon possibly let us leave here alive?’

"We agree to your request, Senior."

With this in mind, Yi Xiaoyao agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Yun Mengling had clearly come to the same conclusion and also voiced her agreement.

The Great Demon Will let out a soft sigh, its voice filled with resignation. If it were still alive, how could it possibly entrust the Demon Race Prince—whom it had protected for countless years at the cost of its own life—to these two weak humans?

But it could wait no longer. After so many years, its will was on the verge of dissipating. Its only choice was to place its hope in these two young humans. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
