Chapter 700: Divine Canopy Over the Sea, Divine Flame Scorches the Heavens

Though the Nine-eyed Demon Emperor did regard Zheng Ming with some importance, he didn't take him too seriously. Especially after the primordial spirit of the Illusionary Ancestral Master burst open its flesh and dissipated into the void, it cared even less about Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming's subsequent conversation with Xuan Haoran seemed to elevate Zheng Ming's status quite a bit, but to the Nine-eyed Demon Emperor, who valued strength above all else, it didn't believe Zheng Ming at that time had anything worth its attention.

Even if the guy came from an extraordinary background, without strength, he would still end up as a handful of dust.

The reason it did not immediately take action against Zheng Ming was mainly out of consideration for Xuan Haoran. Now that Zheng Ming had flatly refused Xuan Haoran's request, it completely dispelled its concerns.
