Chapter 2907: Chapter 2906: So That’s Because of Me

In the dark and deep underground world, at a depth of several thousand meters, Lin Dong, using the magical power of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, was like an invisible earth dragon, shuttling between rocks and soil layers, eventually arriving at a place that made the heart tremble.

In front of the cave where the demon emperor resided.

This place, beneath the earth’s crust, is the hottest area, where magma rolls and roars like a boiling sea of fury in the endless darkness, releasing suffocating heat and a destructive aura.

This demon emperor’s cave cleverly uses the natural barrier of this sea of magma, digging out a safe and energy-filled dwelling with its incredible power along the edge of the magma.

On the cave walls, rocks melted by high temperatures occasionally dripped slowly, making a sizzling sound that, together with the distant roar of the magma, formed an underground symphony of death.

What is even more peculiar is that this demon emperor, despite being a wood element spirit, not only survived in this extremely rich fire element energy environment but has also learned to draw power from it, transforming it into part of itself.

This ability to absorb energy across elements, even someone like Lin Dong, couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised and curious.

Lin Dong cautiously restrained his own aura, trying not to let his presence be detected, but even so, the demon emperor’s perception remained exceptionally keen.

It, known as the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor, had scales of emerald green that shimmered with a peculiar luster in the faint earth light, as if each scale contained vibrant vitality and the power of destruction.

The eyes of the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor were like two burning flames, penetrating obstacles to directly lock onto Lin Dong’s location.

Feeling that terrifying momentum emanating from the demon emperor, Lin Dong only felt an indescribable pressure pressing down on his shoulders like a mountain.

If his strength were weaker, even a Heavenly Realm First Level existence might be crushed directly by this power.

However, after all, Lin Dong is Lin Dong; his strength is not something that a Heavenly Realm First-Level martial artist can compare to.

But for now, Lin Dong’s aura was deliberately suppressed to the level of the Earth Realm martial artist. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This was undoubtedly a huge disguise in front of his current strength.

The voice of the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor, like ancient thunder, echoed in the cave with a hint of surprise and amusement:

"How can an Earth Realm martial artist like you sense the presence of this emperor? In this underground abyss, even high-level martial artists have a hard time finding my trace."

Its tone carried both doubt about Lin Dong’s strength, because his momentum was something that an Earth Realm martial artist could not withstand.

And curiosity about how he could appear here.

How could an Earth Realm martial artist find it?

It seems that this person must be concealing his strength!

"You are indeed a bit unusual," the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor continued, each word squeezed out like it came from between its teeth.

"Surely, a demon emperor is a demon emperor, completely different from the previous demon kings. In terms of wisdom, it’s simply not at the same level," Lin Dong secretly said in his heart.

Before, he accompanied Ye Linglong to train, slaughtering those demon kings.

At that time, he also hid his strength, keeping his aura at the level of an Earth Realm martial artist. However, those demon kings only realized that Lin Dong was concealing his strength when they were dying.

But this demon emperor before him tested it out in an instant. It knew he was at least a Heavenly Realm martial artist.

Knew he was unusual.

Did not act rashly.

Lin Dong also did not make a move for the time being, because he still wanted to learn some information from the demon emperor.

"Why are you demon emperors from the extraterrestrial battlefield all hiding like mice recently? A dignified three-star demon emperor like you, hiding deep underground?"

"Isn’t this ruining the prestige of you demon emperors?"

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor wasn’t feeling good at all.

Hearing a human dare to describe him as a rat, how could he not be angry?

It snorted coldly, the breath it exhaled suddenly burst out like a volcanic eruption.

The entire underground trembled for a moment.

"All of this is because of that abhorrent fellow from you humans. That guy is simply inhuman, hunting us demon emperors everywhere. In a short time, the number of demon emperors hunted by him is about to catch up with those fallen in several years!"

Hearing this, Lin Dong asked again: "Oh? That abhorrent guy you mentioned, who exactly is he?"

"A being that seemingly appeared out of thin air, in less than about a month, he rushed to the second place of the Five Elements Stele ranking!"

"His name is something starting with Lin... I forgot the details."

"And recently, it’s been a tumultuous time. Besides him, the Blood Clan has also been active. We demon emperors from the extraterrestrial battlefield naturally have to hide a bit, to avoid annihilation brought by humans and the Blood Clan."

"It’s not easy to cultivate to become a demon emperor; we certainly don’t want to be killed! Like you humans say, as long as the green mountain is there, there’s no need to worry about firewood."

"After that god of plague leaves or quiets down, or after the Blood Clan and humans go into full war, we will then fish in troubled waters and hunt you humans..."

Hearing these words, Lin Dong couldn’t help but sigh; reaching the level of a demon emperor, the wisdom is indeed extraordinary.

Actually having so many considerations.

This is simply a bit absurd!

And even knowing the saying, as long as the green mountain is there, there’s no need to worry about firewood.

And knowing how to reap the benefits of a fisherman.

At the same time, what made him laugh wryly was that recently demon emperors were hiding so deeply because of his presence!

His name has already spread throughout the demon emperor circle of the extraterrestrial battlefield?

Making them fear, making them avoid and hide.

"Human kid, originally, I have been avoiding you humans lately, but since you managed to find me and even delivered yourself to my door, then I naturally cannot let you go."

"No matter if you are hiding anything, today, you must die!"

"Unless you are a Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Realm existence, otherwise on my territory, you cannot be my opponent."

At this moment, Lin Dong released his aura.

His strength was the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm!

"So, your real cultivation level is the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm. Human kid, you look quite young, around twenty years old. But to have cultivated to the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm, you can’t actually just be twenty-something?"

"This emperor is very curious about your real age. The heavens are truly unfair to us. For you humans to cultivate to the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm, if you’re a bit gifted it can take a mere hundred or two years. But for us demon beasts, unless we’re Divine Beasts, even with extraordinary talent, it takes at least five hundred years!"

"With equal talent and effort, we demon beasts take longer to cultivate to the same realm as you humans. Don’t you think this is unfair?"

Lin Dong said nothing.

The Blazing Wood Demon Emperor suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"However, it doesn’t matter, although in this aspect the heavens are truly unfair to us. But we demon beasts still possess something you humans do not."

"Which is that, in the same rank, whether it’s power or physical defense, we demon beasts are stronger than you human martial artists."

"You are the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm, and I am a Three-star Demon Emperor. We are of the same rank, but I can completely defeat you..."

After saying this, it rushed towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong maintained a calm and composed demeanor, responding lightly:

"If you encountered others, then indeed you might defeat human martial artists of the same rank. But unfortunately, you met me!"

"Not to mention the same rank, even if you were one rank higher, I would be able to take you down with ease!"
