Rise of the Demon God

Chapter 1458 1458

Initially, she didn’t even realize where she actually was since she was a Heavenly Beast. She didn’t have much contact with humans and didn’t know such things since humans didn’t use their inner world in battles. 

The ability to make the inner world of humans wasn’t known by most of the beasts, and even who knew it could only imagine it as nothing but a temporary storage world and not more than that. 

None could have imagined that the inner world was going to be able to keep a Heavenly Beast for so long. The heavenly beasts didn’t have any Inner World of their own to understand them more. 

Xue Min only thought that she was teleported to another world which was a bit surprising for her as she didn’t know who sent her here. Was it the human who sent her here or the Rainbow Phoenix?

She didn’t have much time to think either as all the beasts started attacking her at once. Her first instinct was to kill them all before thinking about what to do, which was exactly as Long Chen had planned. 

….

Far away from Xue Min, Long Chen was standing before the Rainbow Phoenix, preparing for a battle that even he wasn’t very confident about. 

He had just sent Little Snow back, leaving himself alone with his Sword of Time. 

”I can at least appreciate your courage. For a human, you’re very brave.”

”For a beast, you’re very arrogant as well,” Long Chen responded. “And a bit scared.”

”I am scared?” the Rainbow Phoenix asked. “Because I didn’t fight you first?”

”I mean, just look at yourself. You are a Mythical Beast who is known to be the strongest. You are facing a small human, and still, you need to seal the area to stop me from using my full capacity? If it’s not fear, then what?”

Hearing Long Chen, the Rainbow Phoenix couldn’t help but smile. 

”It’s not because I’m scared of you. It’s because I don’t want you to run. The chase is more annoying than the battle itself.”

”You can give any excuses you want, but the truth will stay that you didn’t let a human use their full power against you. You were that scared,” Long Chen smirked, trying a last time. 

If he could avoid a battle, he didn’t mind it. It was the best way out, after all, since it was a big risk for him to fight the Rainbow Phoenix right now. 

The Rainbow Phoenix looked in Long Chen’s eyes, staying silent for a minute.

After a silence that lasted for a long time, she finally let out a breath, opening her thin lips. 

”I know what you’re trying to do. You, humans, are really sneaky. I heard that you resort to tricks when you don’t have the strength to face something.”

”If you want to justify fighting a weakened human with that excuse, go ahead,” Long Chen said, attempting one last time. 

He started raising his sword, pointing towards the Rainbow Phoenix. 

She rubbed her chin, lost in thoughts. “I am not removing the restrictions since I can’t let you escape, but I’ll give you an advantage too, just to make it fair.”

”I won’t use my flames on you. Your spatial ability against my true Strength. It should be fair.”

Long Chen was disappointed, seeing that she wasn’t removing the special restrictions, but he was still pleased that he could at least have an opportunity to fight a weaker version of hers. 

For a Phoenix, her flames were her true Strength. He had only heard stories about the flames of a Phoenix. According to the stories, anyone who died in the flames of Phoenix had their souls destroyed in the process. They couldn’t even reincarnate at all. 

That was just with the flames of an ordinary Phoenix who wasn’t even a Rainbow Phoenix. The flames of the lady before him were sure to be many times fiercer. It was good that she wasn’t going to use them. 

….

Spirit Realm, Long Chen’s clone had conquered the entire Spirit Realm, crushing all the opposition that stood against him. 

Most of the Empires surrendered without even a little bit of resistance. The ones that chose to fight were destroyed. The Royalty of the resisting Kingdoms was either killed or taken hostage, depending on the mood of Long Chen’s clone. 

The entire world was unified by one person who ruled everything, but even this didn’t give him satisfaction as this tiny planet wasn’t what he wanted. 

No matter how big this planet was or how many resources it had, this was nothing but a prison for him since he couldn’t leave this place because of the barrier, which affected his personality even more and made him hate real Long Chen even more. 

He felt as if Long Chen was left alone, imprisoning himself. He was like an afterthought that wasn’t cared for. Long Chen just used him as a babysitter of this planet, leaving him imprisoned. 

This hate was so high that he didn’t even think twice when he met a woman who told him that she would help him take out the real Long Chen while helping him escape this prison. This was all he wanted.

He decided to take the help of the lady, but that wasn’t all he took as he also took her body which she happily gave.

The two of them stood on the balcony of Long Chen’s palace, looking at the setting sun in the distance. 

Long Chen had his hand around the waist of the lady. 

”May I ask why you truly want to help me take him out? Do you hate him too? It just can’t be because you like me. I refuse to believe it.”

”I like you is one of the main reasons, but there are more reasons, I think. One of the reasons is that he isn’t a person who deserves to live. I’ve heard about his actions, and I believe the world would be a better place without him. On the other hand, the world needs you.”

”Can you tell me some of his feats? How strong is he?”

”He is as strong as me if I’m not wrong.”

”That doesn’t give me an estimate. I don’t even know exactly how strong you are.”

”Let’s just say he’s very strong. We would need to put in a lot of effort to make you stronger than him.”

”If he’s truly as strong as you and much more than me, why don’t you try to kill him yourself? Why do you need me?”
