Along with a muffled sound, Jiang Wang spat out blood and flew backward.
With just one move, he was almost instantly killed.
"How can you be so powerful?" His face was contorted, completely dumbfounded.
"This Lava Crocodile is a king-level ferocious beast. Although it's only at the early stage of the eighth rank, you being able to kill it is quite impressive."
The Demon Ape's indifferent voice sounded as it strolled over, saying, "Unfortunately, your bloodline is too mixed. It can't bear any more divine紋. Even if you cultivate, it will take you hundreds of years. Such people are only average in my demon race and don't deserve to possess the demon race bloodline."
As it spoke, it strode forward. With one step, it appeared beside Jiang Wang.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Wang was so scared that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
"I'm just bestowing a fortuitous encounter upon you!" The Demon Ape looked down at Jiang Wang, its scarlet eyes revealing an aura of overlooking the world.
"Bestow a fortuitous encounter upon me?" Hearing this, Jiang Wang's eyes showed doubt.
"The liquid spiritual liquid in this lava pool is called Lava Divine Source Liquid. It can temper the bloodline, making it purer and even transforming it," the Demon Ape explained.
"Lava Divine Source Liquid?" Hearing these words, Jiang Wang's eyes revealed joy.
"For us demons, this Lava Divine Source Liquid can be used to temper the physical body, making the bloodline purer. With certain attainments, we can even use it to condense a Demon Core."
"Condense a Demon Core!" When the Demon Ape's words fell, Jiang Wang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
For many cultivators, condensing a Demon Core is a great temptation!
After all, if one condenses a Demon Core, it means they can break through shackles, gain immortality, transcend reincarnation, and stand at the peak of martial arts from then on.
"This Lava Divine Source Liquid contains powerful energy. It may be useless to humans, but for my demon race, the effect can be called heaven-defying," the Demon Ape said, "Because human cultivators can only temper their bloodline with the help of various elemental forces in the world after stepping into the Yin-Yang Realm and condensing a Nascent Soul."
"And we demons directly absorb the divine source liquid between heaven and earth to enhance our bloodline."
"So, I advise you to give up the idea of condensing a Demon Core!"
"I..." Hearing this, Jiang Wang opened his mouth, unable to say a word in rebuttal.
He knew that what the Demon Ape said was true.
They demons were long accustomed to directly extracting the spiritual essence between heaven and earth to temper their bloodlines.
So, for humans, the effect of the divine source liquid is really limited.
Unless they reach the Yin-Yang Realm, they can completely unleash the medicinal effects of the divine source liquid.
However, becoming a Yin-Yang Realm cultivator is easier said than done.
"Then why are you willing to share these divine source liquids with me?" After a long while, Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask.
"Because you are not qualified enough," the Demon Ape glanced sideways and said indifferently.
"I'm not qualified enough?" Jiang Wang was startled and said angrily, "I am the genius of the Jiang family in Fire Crow City, the grandson of the Jiang clan leader. Am I still not qualified?"
"Hehe, ants like you are naturally not qualified because you are too weak," the Demon Ape sneered.
"Weak... I'm too weak!" Hearing this, Jiang Wang's entire heart sank to the bottom, and a touch of despair floated in his heart.
Over the years, he had been smooth sailing.
But now he was being despised. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Over the years, you have wreaked havoc everywhere. I originally planned to kill you, but my master is merciful and pities you for having saved me once, so he spared your life."
Chapter 1403: Obstinate and Deluded
"However, since you are obstinate and deluded, then I will kill you today to prevent you from committing further crimes in the future," the Demon Ape said coldly.
Buzz!
The Demon Ape's eyes flashed, and a dark light bloomed, slashing towards Jiang Wang.
Whoosh!
Wherever this dark light went, the void rippled.
Obviously, this strike was even more terrifying than the previous two punches.
"I'm not willing!" When the dark light shot over, Jiang Wang looked up to the sky and sighed, revealing a face full of unwillingness.
"However, even if I fall, I will drag you down with me," Jiang Wang's eyes were about to split open, revealing a crazy smile.
"Burn my essence blood!" Jiang Wang roared, and a drop of blood-crystal-like object appeared in his palm.
When this thing appeared, Jiang Wang's aura suddenly soared.
"Not good!" The Demon Ape was slightly surprised, "So, you took the Blood Jade Marrow!"
Boom!
Then, it raised its big hand and pressed forward.
The same punch went to meet it.
Rumble!
The deep sound vibrated.
The fist force exploded, and the Demon Ape's figure shook, but it did not retreat.
Pfft!
Then, the Demon Ape took a step, reaching out to grab Jiang Wang.
The demon claw stretched out, like a sharp blade, piercing through the void, directly grabbing Jiang Wang's throat.
"Am I... dead?" When the demon claw grabbed him, Jiang Wang's eyes closed, his mind filled with the last scene.
He couldn't understand how he could die here in the Divine Ruins!
"Haha, I'm still alive," suddenly, a laugh sounded.
Immediately, he opened his eyes and saw a face with a bright smile.
"I didn't actually die?" Jiang Wang was stunned.
"I didn't die, I survived, I didn't die."
"My Jiang clan, after all, lives up to the prestige of our ancestors!"
"I shouldn't have missed the opportunity!" Jiang Wang's mood remained unsettled for a long time.
His heart was full of regret.
If he had attacked at the most crucial moment, how could he have ended up in such a situation?
"Are you okay?" Just as Jiang Wang's thoughts were complicated, Xiao Yun asked from the side.
"Yes," Jiang Wang nodded, and then asked, "May I ask your esteemed name?"
"My name is Demon Abyss!" The Demon Ape said, glancing at Jiang Wang, "If you are willing to submit to my demon race, I can guarantee your safety. Otherwise, when I return to my position, I will surely exterminate your Jiang clan."
At the end, the Demon Ape's tone was slightly heavy, as if a rich baleful aura was spreading out.
"Submit?" Hearing this, Jiang Wang frowned and said, "Forgive me for being unable to comply!" He shook his head.
He was a direct descendant of the Jiang clan.
How could he humiliatingly submit to others?
Not even when facing gods.
Let alone the demon race.
"Hmph, you don't know how to appreciate favors. It seems you are looking for death," seeing Jiang Wang refuse, the Demon Ape's voice suddenly turned cold.
"You..." Jiang Wang frowned and said, "I am the crucible appointed by your master. If you don't protect me, do you think you can stay out of it?"
"You... want to force this seat to submit to you?" The Demon Ape's eyes sank.
"This is my only way. I have no other choice," Jiang Wang said, "Otherwise, I would rather die!"
"What a 'rather die than submit to our demon race,'" the Demon Ape said with a cold face, "However, I can tell you that there is more than just me among the people of my demon race." After saying that, its body flashed and swept into the crucible.
"Not only me, but there are also many Demon Lords in existence. If we unite, it will be enough to sweep across the Southern Wilderness. Do you think a mere Jiang clan can withstand the iron hooves of my demon race?"
The Demon Ape entered the crucible, its voice rolling in, spreading throughout the entire cave space.
Instantly, Jiang Wang's face turned pale.
"Demon Abyss... you..." When the Demon Ape's words echoed in Jiang Wang's ears, it made him feel fear.
"You... aren't you only left with three drops of original essence blood?"
Demon Abyss was the demon race big shot who was severely injured in the Jiang clan's ancestral land and escaped.
"Hmph, that was because this seat had exhausted too much original essence blood when it was first born and needed to slowly recover," Demon Abyss's voice sounded again.
"Now, this seat has recovered some original essence blood, plus the power of the remnants of the gods that I devoured earlier. Although it is still far from enough for this seat to recover to its peak strength, my battle strength can at least be comparable to a Marquis-level expert."
Demon Abyss's words were very proud.
"What, you have recovered to battle strength comparable to the Marquis level?" Hearing these words, Jiang Wang almost jumped up.
He stared at the crucible with a face full of surprise, his heart fluctuating violently.
This made him feel suffocated.
You must know that it is almost impossible for those ordinary Marquis-level experts to cross the word "Marquis" and step into the Emperor level.
"Hehe, how is it?" In the crucible, Demon Abyss grinned and said, "Follow this seat, and you will not only be able to obtain countless treasures, but you can even become a peerless genius that is rare to see in ten thousand years under the gods!"
Demon Abyss said with a face full of bewitchment.
"You... wouldn't deceive me, would you?" Jiang Wang said hesitantly.
"Hehe, how could I, a dignified Demon Lord of a generation, deceive you with such trivial matters?" Demon Abyss laughed, "Furthermore, there are many experts in my demon race. If we really send troops to the Jiang clan, we can destroy all the Jiang clan's personnel with a snap of our fingers."
"Then, alright, since Your Excellency is so sincere, Jiang is better off obeying than refusing. Greetings, Great Emperor!" Hearing this, Jiang Wang's eyes turned and made a decision.
He knew that if he didn't agree, he might really fall here.
"That's more like it!" Hearing this, a triumphant laughter came from within the crucible.
Then, a force of great power surged out, wrapping Jiang Wang and flying him away from the crucible, landing beside Demon Abyss.
