Time passed second by second. Wang Zheng, who was being eroded by the primordial demonic energy, seemed completely unable to cope. He could only grit his teeth and do his best to continuously unleash the life-giving mystical light to cleanse his body.

It took a lot of effort to suppress the demonic energy that had reached his neck.

Finally, it slowly drained from the wound, drop by drop, and it seemed that a solution had finally been found.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that the Demon Lord of Desire hadn't gotten close after Wang Shao waited for so long, he would have planned to keep up the act for a while longer.

Unfortunately, the other side, whether intimidated or feeling they had seen through Young Master Wang's trump card, didn't give him a chance at all!

The Demon Lord of Desire, though far away, had no doubt about Wang Zheng's miserable appearance.

After all, her current situation is similar to that of Young Master Wang; both are typical examples of people whose physical bodies do not have a high energy level.

One was because he absorbed the essence of his kind and went further, causing his demonic body to not be able to keep up, while the other was hampered by his human body, which limited his performance.

Judging by his own standards, even he, a dignified ruler of another realm, was subject to the influence of the rules of heaven and earth. The demon felt that Wang Zheng, with his mere human mortal body, had already done quite well to achieve this.

At this moment, this guy thought that Wang Zheng had already revealed all his tricks and was too weak to resist.

As for why seeing this guy's weakness made him decide not to turn against him, that's even simpler.

Now that things have come to this point, she has thoroughly figured out Wang Zheng's "background".

Desire is now confident enough to completely suppress Young Master Wang, so naturally it won't harbor any wicked thoughts.

She was still waiting for this tool to help her trample all the other demon lords under her feet.

Completely ignoring Wang Zheng, who was licking his wounds alone, this ambitious demon lord felt for the first time that the situation was under his control. With a wave of his hand, he gathered all the demonic energy that had begun to dissipate and then swallowed it in one gulp...

This demonic energy, with its completely different properties, was incredibly nourishing. It made the guy so comfortable that he involuntarily squinted his eyes, his flushed face looking incredibly alluring, as if he were already immersed in this feeling of complete satisfaction.

In a way, while Young Master Wang was feigning weakness, the Demon Lord of Desire might also be testing Wang Zheng and luring him into a trap.

Silently estimating the distance, Young Master Wang, with a clear understanding of the situation, decisively abandoned this seemingly tempting plan. He kept his eyes down, pretending to be indifferent, feigning healing while actually absorbing the Chaotic Demon Lord's crystal to continue improving himself.

Before long, the desire had absorbed the corresponding source energy, and with a smile in its eyes, it floated in front of Wang Zheng and extended its slender hand without hesitation.

"What about the crystals left behind by the chaos? We had an agreement, so it's time to give them to me!"

"There's no such thing as a Heavenly Demon Crystal; I absorbed it all long ago!"

Young Master Wang's face turned ashen, but he remained defiant.

"You said all I had to do was bring people over and then assist you, but look what happened, I was the one who was in charge both times."

"Back to the Chaos Demon Lord, I killed him all by myself. You were just watching from the sidelines, letting him absorb your primordial demonic energy—that's already giving you face. This is my own spoils of war!"

This time, Young Master Wang spoke the truth, which was rare for him. The turbid energy in the Demon Lord Crystal had long been neutralized into the chaotic spiritual energy in his body. At this moment, apart from not being broken, the Demon Crystal had long lost all its spirituality.

If this lustful demon knew the truth, he would probably be furious. Unfortunately, the more openly Wang Zheng spoke, the less this guy believed him.

Perhaps because he had figured out Wang Zheng's background, the Demon Lord of Desire had become much more patient and had returned to his previous cheerful demeanor.

She covered her mouth and chuckled at Wang Zheng's arrogant claim that he had already absorbed the magic crystal.

"Little brother, you're such a joker. Have you already forgotten the pain of demonic energy entering your body? If you had really absorbed it, you would have exploded by now. Little brother is so mighty, your sister wouldn't want that..."

When her face clearly showed disbelief, the Demon Lord of Desire continued to explain:

"I'm not afraid to tell you, this demonic energy is a product of our devouring spiritual energy. It's incompatible with all living beings, let alone such a high-level demonic source. If you're so capable, take out that demonic crystal and absorb it right now. If you dare, I won't say a word!"

"How is that possible!" Faced with the Demon Lord of Desire's explanation, Wang Zheng's face instantly turned "ugly." "Don't try to fool me. You clearly want this thing. You're a Demon Lord, after all. How could this crystal be useless!"

Seeing that the boy had already believed it in his heart, but his face was full of the look of stubbornness even if he was seen through and could not show any weakness, the Lord of Desire rolled his eyes and finally just smiled and did not continue to press him.

"Since that's what you think, then you can keep it. Anyway, I've already made it clear to you: if you're really not afraid of death, I absolutely won't stop you!"

Now that Young Master Wang has stumbled upon her thoughts, she certainly can't afford to provoke her any further.

On one hand, this Demon Lord of Desire didn't want Wang Zheng to realize the importance of this magic crystal to her; on the other hand...

In her opinion, since this kid has no way to absorb the magic crystal anyway, even if she gets it back this time, she will still kill him later to get the one that is enraged.

The situation is becoming increasingly favorable for me, and I will need his holy light energy to help me. So I might as well go with the flow and let him keep it for a while longer, just to satisfy his spiritual needs.

After all, everything was done to his liking, so when it came time to gang up on the other demon lords, this kid would put in more effort.

Just like when dealing with the chaos this time, it was so easy to take control without me even having to lift a finger.

Once I become stronger, I'll be able to decide who owns the magic crystal.

Upon realizing this, the Demon of Desire abandoned his fighting spirit and instead took the initiative to help Wang Zheng reclaim the several caves of the Chaotic Demon, becoming extremely attentive.

If she weren't worried that the young man in front of her would become suspicious and not trust her at all, she would have loved to personally help Young Master Wang refine this cave or directly break through the barrier between them.

"What the hell? He's clearly a master of spatial manipulation, yet he insists on acting so troubled. Wouldn't it be better to just finish this quickly and move on to the next one..."

Wang Zheng could never have guessed what the Demon of Desire was thinking. If he had known, he would probably have been furious.

Doesn't he want to be fast? He knows he doesn't have the ability!
