Chapter 2442 - 2447: Bearing the Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 2442: Chapter 2447: Bearing the Mandate of Heaven

The Demon Mother’s words carried a hint of murderous intent.

Xia Liu’s purpose for coming, she already understood.

Such concealment, he’s probably not wanting me to make a move!

"Hmm?"

Xia Liu frowned slightly; the Demon Mother actually showed killing intent towards him.

Perhaps things have become extreme!

"Today, you must reveal the mysteries of your divine skills and demon body!"

The Demon Mother’s pressure continued to intensify.

Xia Liu’s power had already erupted, and naturally, he would no longer be suppressed.

"If I speak, will the Demon Mother agree to activate the Primordial Demon Tower?"

"Yes."

"Good! Then I’ll speak plainly!"

What harm is there in telling her?

Could she still snatch it away directly?

"My inheritance comes from the Demon Emperor Hentian."

"The Demon Emperor Hentian!"

These four words held great significance for the Demon Domain!

Especially for someone in the Demon Mother’s position.

Her understanding of the Demon Emperor Hentian, though analyzed through ancient sites.

But one could imagine the height of the Demon Emperor Hentian.

Peak of the Six Realms!

Eternal Emperor!

"Hahaha! So the Demon Emperor’s inheritance was always in the Demon Domain; you truly are a Great Destined One!"

The Demon Mother’s pressure suddenly disappeared completely.

And a laugh from Qingling echoed down from the top of the Demon Peak.

"Hmm? The Demon Mother saying this is..."

Xia Liu roughly guessed.

But he wanted the Demon Mother to say it herself.

"Come up and let’s talk."

"Alright!"

Without refusing, Xia Liu’s figure flickered and soared straight up to the peak.

Under the pear blossom tree, a stone table stood quietly beside the branches.

A sphere, emitting a dark glow, floated there.

Xia Liu could sense the terrifying demon power within the sphere.

That was the Demon Mother’s protective divine skill!

"Xia Liu, an unparalleled monster unseen in ten thousand years in the Demon Domain; King Lan described you like this."

"It was King Lan who overpraised me."

"During the Beast Tide Burst in Demon Hunter City, I heard you slew a hundred thousand demon beasts with one sword and even fought the Beast Emperor of the Near-God Realm; are these true?"

The Demon Mother asked gently.

Now, she seemed like a completely different person from before.

"Hmm, I was also lucky to break the Beast Emperor’s attack; otherwise, if she became a true Demigod, I would have been powerless."

Xia Liu smiled bitterly and helplessly.

King Lan exposed all of his background.

Letting the Demon Mother have countermeasures in advance.

It was no longer possible to hide anything.

Thus, he couldn’t truly see another side of the Demon Mother.

"No, I believe you have this strength; it’s a blessing for the entire domain to have a monster like you appear in the Demon Domain!"

The Demon Mother praised.

"Hmm?"

Xia Liu very much wanted to ask, is the Demon Mother truly happy for the Demon Domain?

But now the Primordial Demon Tower had not yet descended, and he had no way to leave the Demon Domain.

Having a conflict with the Demon Mother would bring about insurmountable trouble.

"You don’t need to overthink; the strengthening of the Demon Domain is something I wish to see, and if you achieve the Realm of Demon God, I will be happier than anyone else."

"Thank you, Demon Mother, for your approval!"

Xia Liu cupped his fists gratefully.

"However, there is something you need to find a way to handle."

The Demon Mother’s words suddenly became serious.

Xia Liu had a premonition that what she was about to say would definitely not be simple.

"Please, Demon Mother, speak directly."

"Heaven-Slaying was an unprecedented Talent One; earlier, I wanted to cultivate him to reach the Realm of Demon God and become the War God of Demon Domain."

"Regarding Heaven-Slaying’s affair, I am truly sorry. I didn’t want to kill him either, but unfortunately, he was killed by the Demon King’s blow, and I couldn’t rescue him in time."

At this moment, Xia Liu told the truth.

Hoping the Demon Mother could understand.

"I heard everything from King Lan, but Heaven-Slaying fell to such a state, all because of you."

"I cannot deny it."

"So, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

The Demon Mother asked.

"How does the Demon Mother wish me to handle it?"

"Replace Heaven-Slaying’s position, become the new War God of Demon Domain, achieve the Realm of Demon God in the future, and lead the Demon Domain to conquer the Cultivation Realm!"

"This!"

Xia Liu hesitated.

Because he never intended to attack the Cultivation Realm in his lifetime.

That was his foundation.

"Hmm? Don’t you want to conquer the Cultivation Realm?"

"Forgive me, I find it difficult to comply."

"Reason!"

The Demon Mother tried to control her anger from erupting.

"When I received the inheritance from the Demon Emperor Hentian, he warned me that in the future, if I had the strength, when the Demon Realm and the Cultivation Realm clashed, I should stand up to mediate the relationship."

This was the Demon Emperor Hentian’s original words; Xia Liu was not lying.

The Demon Mother was silent.

She, of course, could see that Xia Liu was not deceiving.

But why would the Demon Emperor Hentian have such an idea?

Could it be that the erosion of time had decayed his demon heart?

After a long pause, the Demon Mother said, "The Demon Emperor’s meaning is for you to prevent the grudges and conflicts between the Righteous Path cultivators and the Demon Realm?"

"Yes."

"Very well. The Demon Domain and the Demon Realm are two different concepts, so you must replace Heaven-Slaying to fulfill his destiny."

"This!"

Xia Liu suffered a silent loss.

He didn’t expect the Demon Mother to play such a game of words.

Truly, he was careless!

"I understand."

Xia Liu’s agreement was both an agreement and not an agreement.

Everything would depend on what he gains inside the Primordial Demon Tower.

Returning to the Cultivation Realm in the future, he did not wish to have any more dealings or agreements with the Demon Mother.

"Very well! Half a month later, you shall come here with King Lan again; take this scroll, and at that time, operate our powers together to summon the Primordial Demon Tower into the world."

The Demon Mother handed Xia Liu a scroll; she didn’t want to say anything more.

"Alright."

"Before you leave, have a drink of this tea."

A small cup suddenly appeared on the small table, filled with a deep red liquid.

"This is..."

"It’s not poison."

Xia Liu exhausted his Demon Consciousness to probe, yet couldn’t discern what the liquid hid within.

But the Demon Mother deliberately wanted him to drink it; it was definitely not simple!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Haha! Since I’ve accepted the task, what do I have to fear?"

With a clear laugh, Xia Liu grabbed the small cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Leave now."

"See you."

After cupping his fists, Xia Liu instantly departed from the spot.

"The inheritance of the Demon Emperor Hentian, how can it be handed to a demon class with a good heart like you!"

...

On the way back to the Western Region, Xia Liu checked himself over and over again.

But he found no abnormalities.

Even when he drank the deep red liquid, he didn’t notice anything unusual.

It felt like it wasn’t poison or a curse, but rather the Demon Mother’s way of applying psychological pressure on him.

She wanted to instill fear, haunting him with this matter.

"Don’t take it lightly; that thing might be an unknown existence from the Demon Mother."

Bai Jue transmitted his thoughts.

"Elder Bai, do you think she truly wants me to achieve the Realm of Demon God?"

Xia Liu asked.

"Even the highest of the Righteous Path wouldn’t allow an existence higher and stronger than themselves; do you think the demons would be willing?"

"Ah, this really can’t be helped."

Xia Liu was also helpless; after all, he needed something from the Demon Mother.

"For the sake of my physical body, I’m really troubling you."

The main reason for entering the Primordial Demon Tower was to find materials to refine a physical body for himself, something Bai Jue was well aware of...
