"Splash—"
The exquisite peaks float amidst lightning, thunder, falling stars, and seas of fire. A crescent moon scythe, dragging chains, inspires fear in all living beings. A single glance can tear apart their souls, reducing them to mere walking corpses.
“Your Highness, the situation is critical. We are willing to form an alliance in the name of the Azure Scale Demon King, to tear apart the battlefield and evacuate.”
The Skull Magic Tower contacted Xiao Han, and the Serpent Priest, steeling himself, directly revealed his true thoughts.
"Sizzle!"
Three great white sharks, laden with cargo, turned their heads, baring their teeth, and stood guard beside Xiao Han like loyal dogs.
Xiao Han picked up a large piece of midfin and tied it to the back of the great white shark. He patted his little shark to calm it down and tell it not to be so fierce to the guest. He should at least pretend to be calm before launching a surprise attack.
"My mana is running low. I hope there is a potion to restore my golden mana."
"Oh, right, I attacked too frequently and paid a heavy price, suffering severe backlash. It would be best to get some special healing medicine."
"Furthermore, in the name of the Gluttonous Demon King, I am willing to exchange rare treasures and accompanying secret techniques for the resurrection spells in your possession."
Xiao Han made several requests, most of which were beneficial to both parties.
His golden magical energy was nearly depleted, but because he had been hiding in the shadows and plotting against people, his injuries were relatively minor.
The Skull Magic Tower was silent for a moment, then quickly opened its massive maw, sending a gust of ghostly wind carrying a large amount of supplies to Xiao Han.
"Your Highness, the resurrection spell is a racial talent, applicable only to the Serpent Demon race. I apologize."
The priest said apologetically, his cold eyes turning slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
The Azure Scale Demon King waged war for a thousand years, and among his spoils of war, he naturally collected a portion of resurrection techniques.
However, the resurrection spell requires a long period of preparation before it can be activated. Right now, with a major battle imminent, there is no time to make preparations.
Moreover, if they successfully escape, the enemy gains a resurrection ability, making them even more of a threat. Gaining further trust in return would be pointless; wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?!
"Coo coo..."
Xiao Han tilted his head back and drank the medicine.
Of the seven bottles of potions that shone brightly, the Demon Eyes discerned their true nature and selected a safe one, which the Demon Eyes then drank.
The parched magical energy was moisturized, and a layer of pale golden light film covered the skin, protecting the entire body.
One vial of potion can restore 10% of the Golden Magic Energy.
However, some of the potions had problems, so Xiao Han only drank three bottles before stopping, using the great white shark's body as cover.
As for the resurrection technique, he searched the battlefield, but unfortunately, none of the powerful figures in the Central Plains left behind any information on resurrection methods.
Moreover, resurrection spells need to be planned in advance. The chances of truly resurrecting a person are slim, and the cost is high, not to mention that the target is... a stupid demon king.
"High Priest, are we really going to run now?"
The general serving beside him said.
Their side has maintained a relatively intact fighting force, with four demons and one tower, which can withstand attacks for a long time.
"Who said we were going to run away?"
The priest said coldly, his bloodline filled with the icy ruthlessness of a venomous snake: "Don't forget the Demon God's mission."
"Although there have been many unexpected events along the way, the Sword of Victory has been replaced by this divine artifact, which is of higher quality. If we make our move now, the Demon God will surely remember our contribution."
"But... he clearly let us go. Is it possible that he deliberately lured us to summon the Demon God so he could harvest us as materials for refining weapons?"
The general on the other side was very wary and suggested a possibility.
The priest nodded. The probability was high, but he was also somewhat certain of it.
He pointed at the center of the Seven Treasures Furnace, at the Moon Scythe Divine Blade brimming with demonic energy:
"Didn't you notice? This is a divine artifact suitable for demons."
"The Gluttony Demon King has fallen and been sacrificed to the divine sword. Now, the sword has been shattered and melted down, and the energy has been poured into this divine artifact."
“With the emergence of this divine artifact, he will inevitably seek out another demon king-level being for a blood sacrifice.”
The priest analyzed the intelligence and then pointed at Xiao Han, who was hidden by the great white shark: "He must be a backup plan deliberately planted by the Gluttonous Demon God. His value far exceeds ours. Later, we will rely on him to distract the enemy, which will be the time to summon our lord and seize the divine artifact."
The demons were awestruck as they witnessed the birth of the divine artifact. Even the cold-blooded and cruel demons couldn't help but feel a surge of greedy desire.
It's as if possessing this divine artifact grants one the power of a demon king!
Perhaps, even more so than the former!
The priest also speculated about the relationship between Xiao Han and the weapon refiner, wondering if this divine weapon was specifically forged for him.
As the great war broke out, various forces appeared one after another, with a dazzling array of contingency plans laid out. However, Xiao Han, as a variable, was outside the established trajectory and naturally went unnoticed by the priest.
Soon, the priest dismissed this conjecture, increasingly convinced that this was Ni Yun's scheme to sacrifice the Demon King's blood once the divine artifact was forged.
After all, in his mind, Xiao Han was the real Gluttony Demon King. He had secretly descended upon the Northern Lands and his power had only just been established. He did not have any hegemonic power backing him up.
Furthermore, no matter how high the level of a divine artifact is, it is equipment used by gods. However, under the suppression of the boundary wall, its highest limit is only the legendary level, which is not something a newly born Gluttony Demon King can master.
"rustle--"
The exquisite peak gradually calmed down, the earth fire dissipated, the heavenly lightning disappeared, and even the black coffin that was pouring in the waterfall of fortune was shattered into light and swallowed by the moon scythe.
"It's done!"
Ni Yun laughed loudly, and his black robe gradually faded away, revealing a mangled body covered in wounds, with bones visible, as if he had suffered severe torture.
The project has been successfully completed.
