749 Great position is in sight

The eldest prince's eyes remained calm. Seeing that the Heavenly Demon had not yet crushed him, he couldn't help but recall some memories from the past!

Looking at his brother who had been taken over, he felt a pang of pity. Siblings killing each other, for the sake of this great cause, was ultimately worthwhile. After all, he was born into an imperial family, and for the dynasty to last for thousands of years, some sacrifices were always acceptable!

However, if the Heavenly Demon were to seize power from this dynasty, it would likely face a truly devastating future.

This makes one wonder why in some dynasties, there are always those whose personalities change drastically, becoming ruthless and bloodthirsty, growing stronger with each battle, and devoid of any benevolence or justice. Perhaps behind all this, there might be a Heavenly Demon!

A terrible longing arose involuntarily, and he thought to himself, 'Immortality, or something else!'

They were controlled by the Heavenly Demon, lost their sense of self, and became the Heavenly Demon's puppets.

The allure of power, the allure of immortality—where there is desire, there is temptation, and indeed, I could not escape it!

Just like me right now, I want to continue the dynasty and restore my cultivation!

The eldest prince's eyes and thoughts reminded him of when his father had brought him into this treasure vault and mysteriously said that one day, when he thought of his father, he should shout his father's name three times!

'Wang Tiangao!' A simple name, yet the eldest prince and others dared not utter it lightly. If the court officials heard it, it would be considered utter treason!

At this moment, the eldest prince seemed to be deep in thought, but his expression remained unchanged, even more so than before!

He muttered to himself, 'I have a question: if I agree with you, I can rule this dynasty for a thousand years!'

The Heavenly Demon's expression brightened slightly, a faint chuckle playing on his lips. 'As expected, he couldn't resist temptation, just like Wang Tiangao back then—that treacherous villain who deserved to be torn to pieces!'

The Heavenly Demon slowly nodded and said sarcastically, "Of course you can, I'm not the father of your faithless man!"

A pedantic, hypocritical, treacherous, and untrustworthy person!

It's as if you can see that once someone's heart is moved or their mind is disturbed, they become like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!

Without warning, the Seventh Prince's face turned as white as snow, reflecting the change in his stiff consciousness and his arrogant expression!

The Heavenly Demon's expression was even more arrogant, as if he were the master of the world, looking down at the First Prince from above, his tone full of seductive enticement.

He also waved his arms exaggeratedly, pointing to the ground beneath his feet and the sky above his head, as if the entire universe trembled under his control.

"As long as you sincerely submit to me, restoring your cultivation will be a piece of cake, and the throne of the Martial Emperor will be within your grasp!"

The Heavenly Demon's voice seemed to carry a hint of seduction, like a seductive melody, yet also like a resounding bell, poised to shake the Crown Prince's soul in one fell swoop.

He continued to argue righteously, saying, "If you obey me, isn't the throne of Emperor Wu what you've always dreamed of?"

And your fiancée, and many confidantes, beauties and treasures of the world, and that female warrior!

At that time, the entire dynasty, the entire world, and all the sects and families will follow your lead and all will submit to you. You will possess unparalleled power and glory!

Just like Wang Tiangao, isn't he the best proof?

He continued, seemingly explaining, "A nation can only ultimately surpass the Martial Emperor."

Although Wang Tiangao was despicable and shameless for stealing my power, he was still somewhat kind-hearted.

He was too presumptuous, thinking he could break through to the Martial Emperor level on his own!

How ridiculous!

His words were sarcastic, yet seemed to be trying to prove something: "Back then, Wang Tiangao killed countless lives and devoured them all by himself, but he was still not satisfied. After breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm..."

Taking advantage of my momentary lapse in attention, they actually detained me!

How awful!

'Heh heh!'

However, what Wang Tiangao didn't expect was that after breaking through to Martial Emperor, although he killed many Martial Emperors, and even a few more, he still couldn't break through to above Martial Emperor!

'Do you know why!' The Heavenly Demon smiled slyly, seemingly with endless mockery and sarcasm!

Upon hearing so many secrets, the eldest prince was immediately astonished. Although he could not believe it, some of the things seemed to have clues to follow!

"I don't know!" The eldest prince shook his head slightly, not wanting to refute it at this moment.

The Heavenly Demon, seeing this, knew that his words had swayed the pitiful creature before him!

The Heavenly Demon's words were as sweet as honey, making them irresistible. He continued, "Because he is too merciful!"

This world is not just a single dynasty!

If he had been a little bolder and more ruthless, his army would have set out then, conquering neighboring countries, expanding his territory, and becoming an emperor would have been within reach, or even just a matter of time!

If you break through to the level of Martial Emperor and become a Martial Saint!

By then, won't you be the one to call the shots in this world?

If this continues for millennia, immortality will be within easy reach!

Sweet words, immortality, and the ability to watch the world rise and fall!

Just thinking about it is intoxicating!

The eldest prince seemed completely absorbed in it!

The Heavenly Demon was also quite pleased with himself. It seemed that at this moment, he believed that his words were enough to deceive the Crown Prince and lead him down this path of no return.

Just like back then, Wang Tiangao, who hid at home and studied quietly to gain fame and fortune, actually believed in his beautiful aspirations after hearing his own words, and even put them into practice.

Deep inside, however, there was a strange roar, an anger at his own negligence!

At this moment, a strange black aura suddenly appeared in the treasure vault, emanating from the Seventh Prince, accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, yet it was like the howling of ghosts!

Terrifying sounds, incomprehensible language, like thunder exploding in the silent night sky!

He roared inwardly, "I was too confident back then, like a blindly arrogant lion, I actually underestimated the seemingly weak Wang Tiangao, and as a result, I suffered a great loss!"

Anger raged like a raging fire in the heart of the Heavenly Demon.

But there was still a trace of fear, because Wang Tiangao was too strange. He thought to himself, "Although Wang Tiangao is despicable and shameless for deceiving me, it seems that he is also the one called the Chosen One by the world."

His cultivation breakthrough was so rapid, it was as natural as drinking water. He grew stronger with each battle, as if he possessed inexhaustible power.

His cultivation was so powerful that he almost killed himself. If it weren't for the contract, he might have truly been killed by Wang Tiangao!

The eldest prince looked at the strange howl of the Heavenly Demon before him. Although he did not understand what it was saying, he could still hear the anger contained in it.

At this moment, he didn't blame his father too much. He thought to himself, "If it weren't for Father's hard work, we wouldn't have so many resources to cultivate."

Those who enjoy the resources naturally have to bear the risks.
