740 The Devil Within

The eldest prince spoke with a powerful voice, each word striking the heart of the Heavenly Demon like a heavy hammer. He continued, "It is the will of the people, and the soldiers are following him with all their might!"

In every battle, the Emperor would lead the charge, killing countless enemies, and all the generals and soldiers sincerely admired him!

Through his immeasurable merit, the Emperor's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, ultimately unifying the dynasty and ushering in an unprecedented golden age!

The words were as firm and powerful as metal striking stone, and the eyes of the person in the story shone with admiration!

But as soon as the words left his mouth, an uncontrollable curse escaped his lips: "Pah!"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of the Heavenly Demon's lips, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt, as if he had heard the most hilarious joke.

He spoke slowly, his voice filled with sarcasm and mockery: "Wang Tiangao?"

Hmph, he was just a poor, penniless scholar. Back then, he was truly poor. Your Wang family was heartless for not providing him with any cultivation resources. I bet your Wang family regrets it now.

However, your Wang family made the right choice!

Wang Tiangao, a wicked and utterly depraved scholar, coveted many beautiful women, all of whom were from prominent families at the time!

snort! '

Perhaps because he was too familiar with Wang Tiangao, or perhaps because he was fooled by his cute and silly appearance, Tianmo gritted his teeth and said!

'While he may possess some knowledge, it is nothing but theoretical knowledge, utterly useless in practice. How can he possibly govern a country? It's a joke.'

As for his talent for cultivation, it was extremely mediocre, practically a nobody!

The right choice for your Wang family is to not provide him with cultivation resources.

Sarcasm and ridicule, like sharp swords, slashed at the Crown Prince's heart, one cut at a time.

It was as if we were watching Wang Tiangao make a joke, a joke about someone who overestimated himself.

The eldest prince remained unmoved and retorted in a low voice, "The victor is king and the loser is villain. Right now, you are just jealous of my father's talent for cultivation and resentful of being suppressed by my father."

Father's cultivation talent is unparalleled, surpassing all ages; this is universally acknowledged, and you cannot take it away with just a few words.

His eyes gently gazed at the Heavenly Demon, flashing with a resolute light that seemed to pierce through the Heavenly Demon's hypocrisy and deliberate mockery. His gaze exploded like thunder, and the surrounding air seemed to buzz in response.

The Heavenly Demon chuckled, seemingly unconcerned, but his voice was low and he tried his best to conceal his anger as he mocked, "When I first came to this world, I was suppressed and injured by it."

It just so happens that your father was chosen. He lacks the ability but harbors delusions. He secretly buries himself in his studies every day, but he is incredibly stupid and can only hide at home, afraid to go out.

This is what you mean by focusing on cultivation!

hey-hey! '

The Heavenly Demon spoke earnestly, seemingly wanting to express the grievances he had suffered: 'Wang Tiangao is untrustworthy! Wang Tiangao is a liar, a wicked and ungrateful wretch!'

The mere mention of Wang Tiangao instantly turned Tianmo's eyes bloodshot; he was an indelible disgrace to him!

Gritting his teeth, he accused her word by word, "I once made a deal with your shameless and despicable father, Wang Tiangao!"

I promised him that if he could sacrifice enough living beings to help me recover, I would impart to him the entire Heavenly Demon Secret Technique! This technique would allow him to use the power of killing living beings to frantically increase his cultivation!

The Heavenly Demon's voice grew increasingly agitated, as if he were about to unleash all the anger and resentment in his heart. "But your father was too weak at the time. He argued with me and begged me for mercy, so I reluctantly agreed that he would offer the power of living beings to me after he was strong enough to protect himself."

But who would have thought that Wang Tiangao would betray me and deceive me!

The roar and the buzzing all around seemed genuine!

His eyes were filled with resentment and hatred, as if he needed to tear Wang Tiangao to pieces to quell the rage in his heart.

A barely perceptible hint of mockery and lingering fear flashed in the Heavenly Demon's eyes. His voice suddenly became low and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell: "Wang Tiangao, that extremely vicious fellow, dares to keep delaying and not fulfilling his promise."

He keeps saying he's too weak to protect himself, but that's just an excuse he uses to stall for time!

At this point, the demon's tone suddenly became intense, as if he was still regretting that he had agreed too hastily.

'But undeniably, he was also incredibly audacious, actually attempting to devour me and transform me into his own bloodline power in order to break through the so-called power of a saint!'

But he ultimately failed. He lacked the talent and was unwilling to exploit innocent people, so he stopped progressing. How tragic!

Haha, Wang Tiangao, I never thought you'd end up like this. Such womanly compassion! Otherwise, you probably would have broken through long ago.

The eerie and terrifying laughter was like a taut bowstring, buzzing loudly!

'Heh heh, Wang Tiangao also made a mistake. He was too merciful. If he had listened to me back then, he would have slaughtered the world!'

Hmph, Wang Tiangao has been quite good to you.

Knowing his own limited talent, he actually shattered my power into fragments and merged them into his descendants.

It almost killed me completely.

If your bloodline continues for another one or two generations, I'm afraid I will truly disappear!

His actions were insane; he stared at the Crown Prince with the eyes of a wild beast and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that even this old man can't stand such an ungrateful person."

Today, your bloodline purification has ironically brought me back together. It's truly Wang Tiangao's destiny to be this way!

However, it cannot be denied that Wang Tiangao does have some talent; the demonic energy left in your body has actually helped you cultivate so quickly.

And his other sons, all of whom possessed extraordinary talent, were hundreds or even thousands of times more gifted than he himself!

The eldest prince seemed to have calmed down at this moment. After hearing the Heavenly Demon's angry accusations, his tense nerves seemed to relax a little.

He listened intently, as if mesmerized, secretly pondering, "Perhaps the demon before me isn't as powerful as I imagined. Perhaps it has just awakened and hasn't fully recovered."

Perhaps the Emperor's methods have significantly weakened the power of the Heavenly Demon!

A glint of insight flashed in his mind, as if he were reassessing this self-proclaimed immortal demon.

Although the Heavenly Demon seemed furious and wanted to kill him, his words revealed a hint of guilt and unease.

The prolonged delay seemed to be a deliberate display of power, a display of murderous intent, yet the prince remained unmoved, further convincing him that the Heavenly Demon before him was not invincible.

The eldest prince pondered to himself, 'According to the records, the Heavenly Demon bewitches people's hearts; the Heavenly Demon cannot be trusted!'

If this demonic being truly unrestrained and possesses boundless power, why would it need to rely on the Emperor's hand for sacrifices? Why doesn't it simply plunder the lifespans of mortals at will?

A rapid, apprehensive thought flashed through his mind: 'Cultivation... I can restore my cultivation!'
