Chapter 1364 Each Divided
The four Demon Lords slowly walked out of the Demon Lord's Palace, exchanging a knowing glance. The cold demonic wind outside the palace whipped their robes, casting four sinister shadows in the dim light.
"It seems the Demon Lord is determined not to intervene in this Eighth War of the Myriad Races," the Black Sun Demon Lord said expressionlessly, his hands behind his back. "We can only rely on ourselves now."
The ancient demon lord gently stroked his chin with his withered fingers, a strange, ambiguous smile on his face: "Hehe... Black Sun, you're being a bit dishonest. You should be even happier that the Demon Lord isn't interfering, right? That way, in the subsequent counterattack, the territory and spoils we can seize won't have to go through the Demon Lord's hurdle."
"Hmph." The Black Sun Demon Lord snorted coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over Gu Xie like a blade. "With the Demon Lord's power, he wouldn't stoop to sharing such meager gains with us."
"Indeed," said the Flame Demon Lord calmly. "The Demon Lord is known as the closest being to a demigod among all races. I think he's currently focused solely on breaking through to the demigod realm. Unless a dark race stronger than him appears, I'm afraid nothing will interest him."
Dark races can kill each other and absorb and devour each other's magic.
However, Demon Lord Cain's situation is quite special. His magic power level has reached the peak of the Soul Emperor realm, and even the purity of his magic power is said to have reached the limit of the demon race. Absorbing the energy of low-level or even same-level dark races will no longer allow his cultivation to improve in any way.
Unless a demon with even stronger and purer magical attributes appears, there is theoretically no possibility for his magical power to continue to break through to new heights...
"Since that's the case, then it's settled." The Ancient Demon Lord let out a hoarse chuckle. "The counter-offensive will begin soon, so it's best if we all keep our distance on the battlefield and don't get too close to each other's spoils. Otherwise... hehehe, I can't guarantee I won't accidentally 'accidentally' injure one of our own brothers!"
"Hmph." The dark aura surrounding the Netherworld Demon Lord surged, his voice seeming to emanate from the deepest abyss, "You old scoundrel, you should be the one who gets lost. Without the Demon Lord's presence, I dare not say I could resist taking your life on the battlefield!"
"Hehehe..." The Ancient Demon Lord chuckled sinisterly, his face contorted with wrinkles like withered tree bark, making his expression even more terrifying. "Who will take whose life is still uncertain..."
"In that case, let's each divide our own battle zones." The Black Sun Demon Lord coldly waved his sleeve, and a dark streak of light sketched a rough map in the air. "Let's keep to ourselves. Anyone who breaks this agreement will face my ruthlessness."
The Ancient Demon Lord licked his chapped lips: "Hehe, no problem."
"..." The Flame Demon Lord remained silent, only nodding slightly, which was considered as acknowledging the agreement.
She thought to herself, "This is for the best."
At least this way, when she goes to find Ye Ge later, there will be less trouble.
The four demon lords then dispersed.
Just as Yan Ji was about to leave, a hoarse, sinister voice suddenly came from behind her: "Yan Ji, Demon Lord."
She stopped and turned around to see the Ancient Demon Lord walking slowly towards her, a sinister smile on his old face.
"Ancient Demon Lord, is there anything else you need?" Yan Ji's cold and beautiful face was filled with chill.
"Oh, nothing serious." The Ancient Demon Lord shrugged, his cloudy yellow eyes fixed on her with a playful look. "However, I've vaguely received some information from my lesser demons. Lady Flame Demon Lord has been... oh no, it's been a while now... Hehehe, Lady Flame Demon Lord seems to have been frequently visiting the human realm recently, and seems to be getting quite close to someone there?..."
Yan Ji's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "What do you want to say?"
"Heh, it's nothing." The Ancient Demon Lord took a step closer and chuckled contemptuously, "Just a reminder to the Flame Princess Demon Lord, although our Demon Clan is now a member of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races and one of the Five Constants, we are ultimately a dark race. Getting too close to those light-based races might displease the Demon Lord!"
"The Demon Lord isn't as petty as you," Yan Ji retorted expressionlessly, a cold glint flashing in her red eyes. "The Ancient Demon Lord should think about how to prepare for the upcoming counterattack of the myriad races. Don't really think that we demons can be invincible on the battlefield of the myriad races. The Gene Company and the Extreme Yin Cult are not as easy to deal with as you imagine. If you think this war is your chance to make a fortune, be careful not to capsize in the waves."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"Oh? Is that so?" The Ancient Demon Lord pressed on relentlessly, "The Demon Lord is indeed magnanimous, but if the Demon Lord knew that you had designs on the Azure Dragon Treasure, would he still be so forgiving?"
Yan Ji stopped again, turned around, and gave him a cold glance: "What did you say?"
"You think I don't know?" The ancient demon lord's old face grinned even more sinisterly. "You've been running to human territory every day, isn't it all for the Azure Dragon Treasure?"
"..." Yan Ji thought to herself, "So this old guy's information isn't that accurate either. He only knows that she often goes to the human territory, but he doesn't know who she meets with."
He probably thought that he wanted to embezzle the Azure Dragon Treasure.
Hmph, you old geezer!
"Don't think I can't see through you; you want to embezzle the Azure Dragon Treasure." The Ancient Demon Lord stared intently at her. "The Demon Lord's greatest desire right now is to break through to the demigod realm, and the Azure Dragon Treasure is definitely one of the shortcuts. The war profits we made, those meager gains, are naturally of no interest to the Demon Lord. But if he knew your ambition, how do you think he would deal with you?"
Yan Ji glanced at him: "Ancient Demon Lord, although we are a dark race, it's still best to speak with evidence. If you can't produce solid proof, you'd better watch your words. Otherwise, who do you think the Demon Lord will ultimately punish?"
Before she could finish speaking, she had already transformed into a ball of blazing demonic flame and vanished from the spot.
The Ancient Demon Lord stared in the direction she had disappeared, a sinister glint flashing in his murky eyes: "Hmph... Don't let me catch you red-handed..."
