Rise Of The Demon God

Chapter 1536 Chapter 1536: Heir

Long Chen reached the end of the cave, following the direction that was shown to him by Long Tian with the expectation of finding Tian Shen there.

Unfortunately, Long Chen didn't even need to enter before realizing that there was no one ahead. He couldn't sense any live energy. Despite that, he still entered the room that the cave connected to, considering the possibility that Tian Shen could've already been dead.

"I don't think the person you're looking for is here," he stated, glancing back at the Spirit of Long Tian. Even Long Tian was surprised. The room didn't have Tian Shen. Even after they reached the end of the Tomb, they couldn't find Tian Shen.

"It's impossible. Tian Shen should've been here. Everything that he stole from the Bloodline Temple was here, including the Maze of Death. Why would he take all these precautions to make sure no one could get here if it weren't his resting place?"

The room was entirely empty. Not even a speck of dust could be seen here.

Long Chen walked to the center of the room. He spread his arms, closing his eyes, becoming one with the Origin.

He slowly opened his eyes, lowering his hands. "That's interesting. It seems you were right... Someone was here..."

"I can feel some Spatial Distortion. Someone left this place not too long ago... I'm not sure if it was the person you addressed as Tian Shen or someone else."

"It must be Tian Shen! He woke up!" Long Tian exclaimed.

"Well, if it's really him, then I don't think you need to worry about him. Someone who runs away like this? They can never be a threat. All they are... Is a coward," the Demon King stated.

"Can you locate him? Can we get to him?"

"It's not possible to locate him just based on the Spatial Distortion here. There's no aura of that person here. He wiped all his aura before leaving. If there was even a little travel left behind, I might've been able to locate him. But without that, it's not that easy..." The Demon King stated. "That person... He ran away."

"Then again, no need to worry. If he really is after Long Chen's life, he'll make an appearance soon enough. And if he doesn't, that means he isn't strong enough. By the time I leave, Long Chen will be much stronger! My heir would be much stronger!"

"Your heir? Do you mean Long Chen?" Long Tian exclaimed, surprised. Until now, he thought that the Demon King was using Long Chen's body, but if he was looking at Long Chen as an heir to impart his knowledge and strength, then it was incredible!

"That is right! After I am done with my revenge, there won't be anything left for me to live anymore. But I can't kill myself either. My soul is eternal. The only way to end myself is one... Find an heir and transfer my soul core to them. All my knowledge, all my memories, all my experiences, everything I learned... I'll give everything to Long Chen before I forever destroy myself." action

"This world... It won't hold anything for me anymore. I will cease to exist, but my knowledge will live on...."

In the meantime, Xun also arrived, just at the right time to hear about the Demon King's plan to select Long Chen as an heir.

"You can select anyone as an heir. Why do you choose a human?" She couldn't get herself to trust the Demon King for some reason. There was no way for him to be so nice to a human!

He was someone who fought for the wellbeing of his people. Why would he give all his strength and knowledge to a human instead of a demon?"

"A human?" The Demon King smiled, seemingly amused. "It seems you don't know Long Chen at all... The last thing he'll be is a human..."

"That aside, I think we've waited long enough. The tribulation is already at its peak. Before it destroys the entire world, it's time I face the Tribulation and get through it."

The Demon King raised his hand. Massive amounts of Origin Energy gathered above his hand. The Origin Energy was already the most compressed form of energy, but the Origin was compressing even more above him.

The ball of origin kept getting bigger and bigger before it was big enough to cover half the room. It was as if a mini sun had appeared above Long Chen's body.

"Demon's Phantasm!" The man softly stated.

Boom~

Following the command from the man, the Sphere of Compressed Origin shot up.

The strength behind the attack was so much that the energy could even be felt outside by the Black Tortoise King and the others. The walls of the Tomb were so strong that even the Sword of Time couldn't destroy them with such ease.? However, the attack kept destroying everything that stood in its path.

The black Sphere of energy flew up, destroying the room. The tomb was Thousands of feet underground, but that distance proved to be inconsequential as the Black Orb of light reached the surface of the land, leaving a huge hole behind.

****

The Tribulation had already reached its peak. As if enraged by their inability to find their target, all the Lightning Godly Beasts started attacking everything in their path. The space of the White Tiger Realm had already deteriorated to such dangerous levels that it even worried the Black Tortoise King.

As if that wasn't enough, the Black Lightning Dragon flew toward their group as if attacking them. Even though it was Long Chen's tribulation, in his absence, it attacked everything, including the people of this world.

"You all stay behind!" The Black Tortoise Patriarch told the others to stay behind and safe. At the same time, he called forth his Soul Weapon. He didn't know what these lightning beasts were or why they were here, but he couldn't let them destroy this realm.

He stood tall before the others like their shield, bracing for the battle. However, before the lightning dragon could even get to him, a black Sphere of light came out of the ground. It was unclear if it was planned or an accident, but the Sphere happened to come out right when the Dragon was passing through that place.

Demon's Phantasm struck the Tribulation Dragon.

Boom~

As soon as the attack clashed with the Dragon, a terrifying explosion took place as the dragon burst into small specks of lightning that merged with the surrounding.

The explosion was so powerful that everyone who stood there was tossed back like a toy. Only the Black Tortoise King managed to stand, but even he was pushed back a few steps.

"Well, that was weaker than I expected...."
