Chapter 1399 |
"Has the era of the Boundless Demon Sect ruling the Boundless Demon Realm as the unchallenged hegemon finally ended?"
"The Blood Empress Demon King is so domineering—I love it!"
"I wonder if joining Blood Demon City now would make me a core member. Is there still a chance to get close to the Blood Empress Demon King?"
"To the guy who said that—why don’t you take a piss and check your reflection!"
"..."
The Blood Empress Demon King’s bold words to the No Thought Demon King sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Their gazes toward her burned with boundless fervor.
At that moment, the No Thought Demon King gave a slight nod.
"I hope you’ll honor what I said earlier. Otherwise, the Boundless Demon Sect can still easily wipe out your Blood Demon City!"
He took a step, shattering the void, and departed.
He knew full well there was nothing he could do against Su Jingzhen and his allies.
After the No Thought Demon King’s exit, Blood Demon City erupted in excitement once more.
Those already within the city cheered without end.
The Blood Empress Demon King and Su Jingzhen exchanged a smile, both breathing a sigh of relief.
This was precisely the outcome the Blood Empress had desired.
"Little brother, we’ve really done it!"
Her voice trembled with infinite emotion.
At that moment, golden text flashed before Su Jingzhen’s eyes again!

Another triple boost arrived!
Su Jingzhen took her hand. "As for revenge against the Boundless Demon Sect, we can take our time. For now, Blood Demon City can serve as our foothold in the Boundless Demon Realm. From here on, more and more powerful experts will likely flock to join us! During this time, perhaps you could start recruiting people to manage Blood Demon City and its port."
As he spoke, the Blood Empress nodded.
Her gaze swept over the countless zealous demonic cultivators below.
"From this moment, I will seek talented individuals to help govern Blood Demon City! I’ll assess your abilities. But there’s one condition: from now on, you must strive to do good and abandon the wicked ways of demonic cultivators! Fail to comply, and I won’t show mercy!"
Her aura surged forth as she spoke.
It blanketed Blood Demon City, pressing down on everyone.
The crowd’s hearts trembled.
The Blood Empress’s demand puzzled them.
After all, she hadn’t exactly been a paragon of virtue in the past.
“Goodness” had never been part of her reputation.
Now, her command felt somewhat incongruous.
Yet no one dared to challenge her. They all nodded in agreement.
"We’ll obey the Blood Empress’s decree!"
Once their allegiance was secured, Su Jingzhen and the Blood Empress returned to the central hall of Blood Demon City.
They knew these eager cultivators, desperate to win her favor, would manage the city with care.
It didn’t need to be overly orderly.
Maintaining its usual state would suffice!
Having secured a great victory, the Blood Empress celebrated by engaging Su Jingzhen in another “battle”!
The joy in her heart—and the hatred she’d harbored for years—finally found release!
Half a day later.
Su Jingzhen sat cross-legged, meditating to recover.
The Blood Empress lay beside him, still radiant and enchanting.
"Little brother, what do you need? Name it, and I’ll do everything in my power to get it for you!"
She propped her head on one hand, lying on her side as she gazed at him.
Su Jingzhen glanced at the golden text flashing before his eyes.
In his heart, he thought, What I want, you’ve already given me.

After their “battle,” another ten boosts had arrived.
For Su Jingzhen, it felt like a return to the exhilarating days of old.
One word: amazing!
But recalling that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was still not fully restored, he didn’t hold back.
He turned to the Blood Empress. "I don’t lack much else. But if you can find me sect treasure vaults or places brimming with endless Dao rhythms, that would be ideal."
The Blood Empress raised an eyebrow, slightly perplexed.
Su Jingzhen elaborated, "You know the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss isn’t at its peak yet. To restore it to perfection, it needs nourishment from various Dao forces."
Her eyes widened in realization.
Her expression turned solemn.
As a beneficiary of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, she was now fully invested in its restoration!
"In that case, leave it to me! We’ll deal with other matters later. For now, I’ll take you to my private treasure vault!"
Since Su Jingzhen needed it, she was ready to give everything she had!
She swiftly dressed and led him out of the palace, heading toward the edge of Blood Demon City near the port.
There stood an unassuming palace.
It radiated immense energy.
The fluctuations were unmistakably at the Demon King level.
Su Jingzhen was mildly surprised.
Together, they pushed open the doors and stepped inside.
Within, it was a world apart, akin to the treasure vaults of great sects.
It resembled a galaxy, dotted with countless stars!
Each star pulsed with intense Dao fluctuations.
They were clearly rare treasures!
The Blood Empress smiled. "Before you arrived, Blood Demon City was under my influence. Though I wasn’t its official ruler, the port was a key hub. Merchants and market owners all paid tribute to me. Over time, this amassed into a vast fortune. Most of it was useless to me, so I stored it here. If you can use it, don’t hesitate—take whatever you need!"
At the Demon King level, ordinary items were mere trinkets, external possessions of little value.
But since they were offered, she’d had no reason to refuse.
To her, these treasures held no sentimental worth.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate. He raised the black brick.
A dark light flashed, and all the shimmering stars in the space were drawn into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The Dao rhythms from these treasures were absorbed directly by Little Green.
Its towering tree form visibly grew taller!
Yet Su Jingzhen sensed no significant progress in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Having reached 90% restoration, further advancement was proving difficult.
Even a hundred or a thousand times the resources absorbed so far might not suffice to perfect it!
He couldn’t help but sigh. "The road ahead is long and arduous!"
