Chapter 24: Meeting Steven Again

While Nathan, Kaden, and The Laughing Slayer were struggling to practice in the forbidden area of the immortal world, Quentin was busy doing lewd things in his mansion.

Come on, beauties, stick your butts up! I will reward everyone I stop at with a Yu Xiu Dan.

Quentin removed his belt and pulled down his pants, causing the girls' faces to turn red as he pointed them up. He excitedly said:

Look, this is my Demon Slayer Sword. Every stab causes immortal blood, divine blood, and demon blood to spurt out. Who wants to try the sword first?

A slender beauty caressed her soft buttocks with her slender hand and spoke.

Nether King, stab me first; I will die under your precious sword without any resentment or regret!

Okay, then I will not hold back!

Quentin laughed darkly, pretending to use spiritual power to make the space tremble, and then used the treasured sword to stab the pink, wet valley of beauty.

Ah, I'm dead! You, Nether King, are so brave!

The slender beauty screamed miserably in pain, but this only stimulated Quentin more. He grasped her hair, causing her body to convulse repeatedly before she collapsed, her white divine blood cascading across the damp valley below. Unexpectedly, a strong young man with such a large little brother couldn't hold on for more than three breaths.

You make me so happy, Nether King.

In this world, only the Nether King is a real man...

The group of naked beauties surrounded Quentin again; their mouths were constantly praising him, but their eyes showed contempt. There was a girl holding Quentin's broken sword in her mouth, and there was also a girl pressing the pink nipples on her white breasts against his face, starting a new round of pleasure.

Quentin was panting, his face pale, and continued to indulge in pleasure. For the past three months, he had not stopped this perverted pleasure for a single moment, even wanting to forget the Alaca King's legacy.

Damn it. Now that I am the supreme Nether King, why do I need to seize the legacy? Come here, all the beauties!

In the Yama Palace, Nathan began to put on the Hell King's armor, preparing to enter the Hansen Demon Lord Palace to attend the audience ceremony.

Because Faye was no longer by his side, he was very flustered, taking an entire hour to put on his clothes.

Not bad! This armor makes me look many times more handsome.

Hansen Demon Lord Palace was located in a star not far from the Bright Realm. Despite the name Demon Palace, the place was surprisingly empty, with no guards at the gate and no maids. If it weren't for the unparalleled, powerful demonic aura that was emanating from within, suppressing the entire Ten Great Kings, no one would dare to think that this was the Demon Lord's palace.

Nathan led the people of Hell Palace to enter the palace. This time, the number of people attending the palace entrance was very large; almost thousands of demons had sent their clansmen.

Suddenly, a very familiar figure appeared not far from Nathan. When he turned his head to look, he saw a skinny black-clothed youth leading people from the Steven clan to enter the palace.

As if he felt Nathan's gaze, the black-clothed youth turned his head to look, his expression slightly disdainful but quickly turning into respect. He smiled and nodded, then continued to enter the demon palace.

Nathan caught that expression despite its brief flash.

There's a hidden meaning! Steven wouldn't look at me with contempt if Alaca King's memories had created this illusion!

Looking at the young Steven hurriedly leaving, Nathan was even more certain that his guess was correct.

"Humph, do you dare to kick me outside?" However, on the inside, I already possess the knowledge and skills of a powerful emperor. Let's see how I will repay you!"

Suddenly, in the center of the Hansen Demon Lord Palace, three drum beats resounded throughout the heavens and earth. When this drum beat was heard, thousands of ghosts in the Bright Realm simultaneously screamed, their expressions filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

"Soul Summoning Ancient!" This is the World Treasure of the entire Bright Realm!

The rank above the Emperor Treasure was the World Treasure of a World Master-level expert. Refining a World Treasure was not only about strength, but also about the approval of the entire world's living beings and the infusion of willpower into it.

Ancient Soul Summoning was a peerless world treasure. Once used, it could cause the Hansen Demon Lord's power to resonate with the Underworld, increasing its battle power by three or four times. Of course, if used for a long time, the price to pay was not small; it would cause the entire world's living beings to suffer damage.

Once the Nether Kings and the representatives of the thousands of Bright Realm tribes had taken their seats, the deep voice of Hansen Demon Lord emerged from within the demon castle. - I summoned you all here for the sake of the survival of the Bright Realm. We have cornered our demon and human races, compelling them to retaliate. The price to pay will be dire; it could be the extermination of our race or the complete destruction of the underworld. If you surrender, abandon your dignity, and serve the remaining four realms, you can save your lives, but do you want that?

Hansen Demon Lord had never shown his face; except for Ten Great King, almost no one in Bright Realm had ever known his true appearance.

You cannot humiliate the Demon Realm; fight to the death!

Fight to the death!

Fight to the death!

Nathan also raised his hand and shouted, but his eyes kept glancing back and forth, searching for the location of the young Steven.

At this moment, a tall man wearing bat-winged armor stepped forward with his fists clasped. Fortified City, who had previously helped Hell flee after the Chaos Arrow struck him, was now present.

Demon Lord Alaca King seems to be so saddened by the death of The Heavenly Lord of Purple Mist that he wants to retire.

- What? brother wants to retire?

Although Hansen Demon Lord had a higher status, he absolutely did not dare to call Alaca by his nickname. He had always clearly respected this brilliant and talented big brother.

Fortified sighed:

I have tried my best to persuade him, but Alaca King firmly refused!

The hearts of Nathan, Kaden, and The Laughing Slayer rose in enormous wave. Had Alaca King not taken part in the war, the scene depicted in the stone sculptures within the ancient ruins would have never occurred. This implied that they would have faced complete defeat.

The Laughing Slayer reacted swiftly, took a step forward, clasped his hands, and said:

The relationship between Alaca King and me, Demon Lord, is not bad; let me try to persuade him!

Kaden did not give up either.

Alaca King and I have a very good relationship; please allow me to speak.

Everyone gazed at the two Nether Kings as they stepped forward to persuade Alaca, genuinely unaware of the situation. Even more surprising was the fact that Hell, who typically engages in arguments with Alaca, also stepped forward and spoke.

Brother Alaca and I are life-and-death friends—brothers who swore an oath of blood. I once swore to the heavens that I would fight side by side with brother Alaca forever. Demon Lord, let me go!

- What? The Hell King said he was a life-and-death friend of Alaca King. It was clearly a lie; they were not on good terms with each other, and their views were always opposite. Even when Alaca King proposed joining forces with the human race to fight against the four worlds, Hell King intervened to disrupt the plan.

Hearing the gossip, Nathan couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Nathan was surprised to learn that the other Nether Kings didn't like the Hell King, who even advocated for peace and stayed out of the war.

I've thought about it; the Demon Lord can't bear humiliation. I will fight until the last drop of blood runs dry; please believe me...

Nathan said it with his neck raised, showing his heroic spirit. Standing in the distance, the young man Steven saw Nathan's expression and spat out a mouthful of saliva, cursing under his breath the words "shameless."

In Hansen Demon Lord remained silent for a considerable amount of time before finally speaking:

In that case, you three should take turns advising my brother. Whoever makes it will be considered to have made a great contribution to Bright Realm.

Obey the demon lord!

Nathan, Kaden, and The Laughing Slayer all shouted in unison.

The court ceremony ended, and the demons dispersed and returned to their respective residences.

Nathan flew into the air and looked down to investigate Steven's whereabouts.

Indeed, after a considerable amount of searching, he discovered him concealed in the crowd, employing various escape techniques.

Nathan swiftly overtook Steven, who, despite possessing the qualities of a great emperor, was still far behind the Ten Great Kings.

Humph, senior Steven, why are you running like a demon?

The two chased each other for several million miles, and when Nathan caught up and used his aura to lock him down, Steven turned around and pretended to be friendly.

What does Nether King mean? We have no enmity or grudge, so why are you chasing me like an enemy?

Nathan walked around Steven, constantly cracking his knuckles and making crackling sounds that made him tremble violently.

Ah, junior, if you dare to commit treason, I will kill you!

Steven screamed loudly when Nathan suddenly kicked him in the butt. But in this dream, Steven was no match for Nathan, completely unable to move under the pressure of the Great Emperor's peak.

Humph, senior Steven, please tell me honestly what this secret realm is like. Why is your true consciousness also present?

No way! You dare insult me; Alaca will never pass on your three great divine abilities!

Ah, senior dares to threaten me?

Nathan hated two things the most in his life: being chased and killed and being threatened. That was his inverse scale; anyone who dared to touch it would drive him insane, determined to fight until his last breath.

He kicked Steven's butt several hundred times, causing him to scream in pain, finally admitting defeat.

I'm lost; what do you want to ask?

Answer my question first!

Nathan still exuded an aura that sealed all directions, fearing that young Steven would run away.

Alaca used the Soul Summoning Ancient to summon all the remaining souls and residual thoughts of the Demon Clan, creating this secret realm. Alaca utilized their memories to construct a genuine secret realm, designed to put the descendants to the test. It also included my thoughts, so it was able to create this appearance.

Steven revealed a shocking secret.

- What? Does this imply that each character here has undergone a transformation from a remnant soul to a complete existence?

Nathan was stunned, remembering the young girl, Faye. Steven consistently sensed a blending of the real and the fake.

Not only the remnant souls of Bright Realm, but also the soldiers of the six realms, the immortal and demonic powerhouses, contributed to creating this dream. It was a memory in their hearts, so it was true. However, now that they are dead, it is not wrong for you to consider it an illusion!

That's not right! What does Alaca want to do in the end? What is Alaca's ultimate goal? Wasn't he permanently injured and unable to heal?

Countless hidden secrets made Nathan feel extremely confused. However, Steven's willingness to reveal was limited; no matter how many kicks he received, he would not divulge even the smallest detail.
