System's Super Sect-Chapter 619 - 616, Self-abandoning Royal Family bloodline?
"Black Creek, as long as your master is willing to spare my life, I am willing to announce to the entire Demon Race once I return that I, Ying Zhao, am withdrawing from the contest for the throne!"
Seeing that the time limit of his divine techniques was about to end, Ying Zhao had no choice but to choose this desperate strategy.
Of course, this wasn’t a plea for mercy from Black Creek.
As a member of the Royal Family, his bloodline was far more noble than Black Creek’s.
The pride of the Royal Family would not allow him to beg for mercy from a demon of lesser bloodline, so he could only plead for mercy from this person’s master — his third brother.
However, Black Creek’s speed did not slow.
Because as they approached the Immortal Sect, the number of demons became fewer, allowing Black Creek’s speed to increase even more.
As for Ying Zhao conceding despite carrying the royal bloodline, Black Creek neither accepted it nor was surprised, as if he had already anticipated that Ying Zhao would say this.
"The Three Emperors have said, once it begins, there’s no turning back. Unless... you are willing to abolish your royal bloodline here and now, then the Three Emperors might spare your life."
"You!"
Ying Zhao, incensed, was at a loss for words.
He was already devoid of dignity.
Voluntarily withdrawing from the contest for the Demon Emperor’s throne was a sign of weakness to the Demon Race.
In the Demon Race, you can submit to a powerful Demon King, submit to a demon of high bloodline, even submit to powerful humans, but you must never show weakness!
The unthinkable, he was already considering.
Yet his third brother had cut off this path for him!
Instead, he was asked to abolish his royal bloodline.
This went beyond the simple loss of divine techniques, demon body, and power; this was the last line a demon would never cross!
He could die!
He could be crippled!
Abandoning the bloodline would make him disdained by all demons!
The pride of the Royal Family coursing through his veins wouldn’t allow him to do this, even for survival.
Upon hearing Black Creek’s words, Yu Jiang behind them also shouted in anger, unleashing a vast wave of demon qi toward Black Creek, "Black Creek, don’t be too excessive!"
"Excessive?"
Black Creek suddenly turned back.
A pair of blood-red eyes looked at Yu Jiang, shooting a thread of mirth.
This mirth entered Yu Jiang’s gaze, making the already furious Yu Jiang even more agitated.
The massive demon body stirred the wind and rain, altering the color of the skies, as the opened giant mouth suddenly spewed forth a gale, sweeping through the skies towards Black Creek.
Yu Jiang knew he couldn’t touch Black Creek, the distance was too far, yet he did it anyway.
Because aside from this, he couldn’t think of any other way to vent his anger.
He once pledged to the Demon Emperor to use his life to protect Ying Zhao until he grew into a true ruler.
But now, seeing Ying Zhao being pursued, he was powerless.
The opponent was even forcing Ying Zhao to abolish his royal bloodline, treating him as if he were air.
How could he face the deceased Demon Emperor later?
However, at this moment, Black Creek’s previously straight flight path suddenly changed.
After turning back, Black Creek pivoted in the air, altering his flight path, rushing directly towards Yu Jiang.
"Join the Demon Emperor!"
A black shadow pierced through the long sky in an instant, traversing the raging gale before heading straight for the furious Yu Jiang. Yu Jiang was completely unprepared for this scene, relying only on his instincts and reflexes to confront the sudden assault of Black Creek, hurriedly shielding his demon body with his massive wings.
Puff!
The gigantic wings were already folded together to protect Yu Jiang, yet they were directly pierced by Black Creek.
From afar, a black shadow was seen piercing Yu Jiang’s demon body, falling into the forest below.
Accompanied by the loud noise upon landing, the blast waves from Black Creek’s descent uprooted the trees in the forest, the force smashing out a giant hole measuring a hundred feet.
Within this crater, Black Creek climbed up rather awkwardly.
Yet at the corner of his mouth was an air of triumph, and a hint of mockery, "I told you, don’t follow... follow, and you might just disappear."
Divine Technique — Black Thorn!
The great divine technique granted by the Three Emperors, previously only the Royal Family was qualified to comprehend its intricacies.
After ten years of cultivation, he still couldn’t fully control its release, which was why he clumsily smashed into the ground.
Nevertheless, despite poor control, using it to kill a foolish demon consumed by rage, a one-hit kill was not a difficult task.
Up in the air, Yu Jiang felt the destruction of his heart and the slow drain of his life force; despite the continuing anger in his eyes, at this moment, he could think only of Ying Zhao, using every ounce of his strength to utter four words, "Fourth Prince... escape quickly!"
With that said, his entire demon body fell towards the forest like a kite with a broken string.
In the distance, Ying Zhao saw this scene, heard Yu Jiang’s words, and suddenly froze.
A streak of blood climbed up in the demon eyes.
At the same time, killing intent also climbed into his heart.
"Fourth Prince... escape quickly! You still have your pursuit... live well for it!"
Just as Ying Zhao was about to rush up to engage in a fierce battle with Black Creek, intending to die with dignity, Yu Jiang’s voice reached him.
The latter half of his words entered his ears, making Ying Zhao pause.
Indeed!
He still had his pursuits.
Things he dreamt of chasing.
Not the throne.
Not the submission of all demons.
But a far greater power, as well as the wondrous world beyond the Heaven and Earth Lake.
For these, he had to live!
He couldn’t just die halfway when he had barely freed himself from the Demon Race and was able to pursue the things he wanted.
Yet...
What should he do?
The time limit of his divine techniques was almost up.
Once his speed slowed down, Black Creek could catch up to him within a few breaths.
As for his other divine techniques, though powerful, they couldn’t harm Black Creek, who had obtained royal divine techniques!
...
Churao Mountain.
Wenping watched from behind as the air above the forest suddenly showed the defeat of a great demon comparable to the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, making him somewhat incredulous.
Instant kill of a peer!
This Black Demon is extraordinary.
"With that power, it could definitely rival Long Ke."
Long Ke came from outside the world, a power capable of suppressing Situ Xiu when he was without his spear.
Wenping had thought that the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, within Heaven and Earth Lake, should be the strongest with Long Ke.
Unexpectedly, a demon popped up.
What’s more fortuitous, this demon actually aimed to kill the supposed son of the Demon Emperor, as per the system’s words.
"It seems, accepting this Demon Emperor’s son won’t be easy." Though Wenping was intrigued by Ying Zhao, there were issues he couldn’t ignore.
Foremost among them wasn’t the impediment to bringing Ying Zhao into the sect but this Black Demon.
Kill it?
Or subdue it?
This too is an opportunity.
Where else would you find demons of such power?
At this time, the disciples and Elders who heard the commotion hurried over, standing on the mountain top, watching the events unfolding in the distant Wind Valley.
"Here we go again!"
"It’s been a season of trouble lately."
"Luckily, this time it’s not fighting in Cangwu City."
The final remark came from the sigh of Huan Shan.
After all, he is also the Young City Lord of Cangwu City, how could he not be distressed if Cangwu City were destroyed.
Beside Wenping, Long Ke’s gaze was fixed on the Black Demon as it rose from the crater to the sky, his face turning serious as he spoke, "This time, the demon’s aura feels much more terrifying than Situ Xiu’s... why is such a powerful demon fighting here, instead of staying at Demon Emperor Lake?"
Yet Long Ke wasn’t overly concerned.
With no enmity, that demon wouldn’t attack the Immortal Sect.
She knew there was an agreement between the Human Race and the Demon Race.
This situation seemed an internal conflict of the Demon Race, as long as it was not interfered with, there shouldn’t be any issues.
She wouldn’t needlessly go out to fight that demon.
With the time spent fighting this Black Demon, she’d rather spend it in Wind Valley fighting the Wind Demon, to acquire the Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein.
