Lan Cao's expression turned solemn. He knew that Xing Chen had one of the Star Gazing Palace's three divine artifacts with him, but he never knew what it was.
The golden cage in Xing Chen's hand exuded an oppressive aura that made his soul shudder. This was definitely the legendary Divine Soul Cage that Lan Cao had heard of before.
"That person…" Lan Cao stared at the wisp of black mist inside the cage attentively.
"I know from the beginning that he has an ulterior motive. There is no free lunch in this world. He won't give us power for nothing." Xing Chen said calmly.
The moment Mo Ke injected his power into his body, Xing Chen had already noticed something rushing to his soul. It was almost unnoticeable. Fortunately, he had the Divine Soul Cage with him. Otherwise, his body would be taken directly by Mo Ke.
"This person's residual soul is extremely powerful. Not to mention that he could raise our strength so easily. Perhaps he's the legendary Divine Emperor." Xing Chen said further.
He had read many ancient records about the Divine Realm, and the Divine Emperor Realm was mentioned as the highest realm there. He believed that only such a powerful figure could grant him strength like that.
"Would he…?" Lan Cao took a deep breath and asked worriedly. If the old man was truly the Divine Emperor, he wasn't sure whether the soul cage could handle him.

Hearing this, Lan Cao let out a long breath. "Thankfully, you have noticed it. Otherwise, the consequence would be unimaginable."
Woosh!
All of a sudden, the wisp of black mist shook violently, and a roar could be heard from it. "How dare you!"
Xing Chen quickly channeled his profound energy, and the golden cage glowed brighter, causing the wisp of black mist to tremble.
"Arghhh!" A painful cry rang out from the black mist.
"It seems I have guessed it right. You must be killed by Yun Lintian." Xing Chen stared at the trembling black mist with a faint smile.
"Stop!" Mo Ke shouted angrily.
"Want me to stop? Heh." Xing Chen curled his lips and exerted more power, causing Mo Ke's soul to cry painfully even more.
"What do you want!?" Mo Ke knew that this could go on. Otherwise, the last trace of his soul would be obliterated for sure.
Hearing this, Xing Chen stopped his hand and said calmly. "Why don't you start by telling me about your identity first? Of course, you better be honest."
Since Mo Ke was killed by Yun Lintian, he was certainly not the so-called Beyond Heaven King he had told him before.
A pair of devilish eyes appeared in the black mist and stared at Xing Chen with murderous intent. It was understandable to lose to Hongyue, but it was unacceptable to be caught by a mere ant like this.
Mo Ke calmed down and said. "I am one of the great seven devils, Mo Ke. It doesn't matter if you want to kill me, but you have to be aware that you will lose a chance of changing your fate."
"What's more? Once that Yun Lintian catches up with you, you won't be able to survive." Mo Ke laughed coldly. "I can tell you that there's an expert stronger than me by his side. Trampling ants like you two are easy as flicking her hand."
Xing Chen frowned slightly and asked. "Great seven devils? Tell me more about it."
Mo Ke's eyes flickered slightly, and he chose to explain about the Great Devil Realm.
After listening to him, Xing Chen went silent for a long while and asked. "Who's the Beyond Heaven King?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The Beyond Heaven King is the strongest person in the Divine Realm. His strength can be described as beyond heaven as his title suggested. Several years ago, he was ambushed by many people and rumored to have fallen." Mo Ke answered.
"Before he died, he left his inheritance in this tiny world. That Yun Lintian you told me before is his successor. As long as he obtained the complete inheritance, no one in this world could be his opponent, including your so-called Star Gazing Palace and Azure Palace."
Mo Ke stared at Xing Chen and said in a devilish voice. "So, if you want to survive, you better cooperate with me."
Xing Chen frowned deeply upon hearing this. He had guessed a lot of possibilities, including the chance of Yun Lintian obtaining an inheritance from the Divine Realm. However, he had never expected the inheritance Yun Lintian obtained would be this powerful.
What kind of the concept of the strongest person in the Divine Realm? As long as Yun Lintian continued to grow, he would certainly dominate the Divine Realm. Let alone this tiny world.
Seeing this scene, Mo Ke smiled inwardly. No matter what, Xing Chen would have no choice but choose to cooperate with him in the end.
Xing Chen looked at Mo Ke and asked. "What can you give me?"
"As I said before, your talent is not worth mentioning. However, I have a way to increase your strength in a short period." Mo Ke said. "I have seen Yun Lintian already. He has already reached the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm. What do you think about his true strength?"
Xing Chen stared at Mo Ke without a word, waiting for the latter to explain.
"The Beyond Heaven King in the past had become well-known because of his unparalleled battle prowess. His successor is no different." Mo Ke glanced at Lan Cao and said. "You won't be his opponent if he goes all out."
Lan Cao was shocked upon hearing this. His strength had already increased by leaps and bounds, yet Mo Ke said he wasn't Yun Lintian's opponent? As much as he didn't want to believe, Mo Ke had no reason to lie to him in this situation. It must be true.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen fell into deep thought. He had no doubt about Mo Ke's words as he had seen Yun Lintian display his absurd strength before.
After a while, he looked at Mo Ke and said. "Let's talk about it."
