[Due to the distance, you can only fly up to a point three million miles away from the Feathered Demon King, but you can still faintly hear its mournful cry.]
"Let's stay here for now and wait until the 'Return to Truth' CD ends in a week."
As for being discovered by the Feather Demon King? The chances are practically zero.
[Feather Demon King: You mean there's a mysterious entity hiding in the Sun-Suppressing Belt above my head, and it hasn't moved for seven days, causing me to weaken out of thin air through some strange means?]
[Feather Demon King: So I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and guessed this point: I need to search through so many suns, ranging from thousands to millions of miles away, thoroughly exploring the interior of each one, until I find a place five million miles above the ground, and I still haven't given up, holding firm to this belief until I find my target?]
[Feather Demon King: And I can also be certain that the being who could erase one percent of my power without anyone noticing, I can still defeat after finding him?]
[This is hilarious!]
But that's the truth!
Over the next seven days, you descended cautiously, probing the path ten times for every step, until you reached a point two million miles above the ground.
[It was observed that the Feathered Demon King remained at the Rift Cliff, but it had now begun to frantically devour large quantities of blood offerings from demons across the land.]
[Demons don't feed entirely with their mouths; those at the third realm and below require physical contact. But from the fourth realm, onwards, those capable of projecting their qi and blood can instantly devour countless amounts of flesh and blood!]
Its "mouth" is entirely covered by the flow of Qi and blood.
The Feather Demon King was behaving with extreme tyranny at this moment. Having failed to find the cause of its power depletion over the past few days, it had now given up, believing that everything was only temporary.
As long as it replenishes its blood and nutrients, everything can be made up for.
Then… it heard a true-elemental transmission in the common human language coming from above.
"Little bird demon, do you want to know what happened to you seven days ago?"
"Then come over here, and let the human elder tell you everything!"
[...]
[A multitude of demons at the second and third realms were transporting blood food at full speed, including human, demon, and sea creature food, all of which were tangible ingredients with flesh and blood.]
To facilitate transportation, those lacking the ability to project their qi and blood outwards simply kneaded all the blood food into large fleshy balls, then wrapped them tightly in thick leather bags to prevent leakage.
Looking down from above, one could see giant, bag-like spheres moving towards the Rift Cliff.
[Anyway, what the Demon King wants now is plenty of food to fill his stomach. Whether the food is alive or not, or how exquisite it looks... none of that matters, as long as it's delivered!]
Besides the demons of the second and third realms, several pseudo-kings of the fourth realm were also transporting goods back and forth.
[If the pseudo-king's blood essence were used solely for moving things, trillions of tons would be nothing to them. These past few days, they've been running back and forth, emptying countless of their own breeding farms, and then cautiously placing the blood food within a hundred thousand miles of the Feather Demon King.]
Every demon king in their era ravaged the demon lands, slaughtering hundreds of false kings. Although they somewhat restrained themselves after becoming kings, the Feathered Demon King has clearly been in a bad mood these past few days.
They certainly don't want to get into trouble with it.
[However, just as the Myriad-Matter Demon released the massive fleshy ball, hundreds of meters in diameter, from its bag, causing blood to flow everywhere, it suddenly found itself engulfed in a vast ocean of blood and qi!]
[The Feather Demon King's vital energy once again suddenly radiated outwards, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles!]
[A large number of demons were enveloped within it, and at the same time, the blood and energy within were surging and churning violently, like the frenzied stretching and expansion of every muscle in a running beast!]
Therefore, within this area, demons below the third realm were instantly torn apart, and those at the early third realm temporarily lost control of their bodies, helpless like people tumbling in the waves after falling into the sea.
[The Feather Demon King was stunned, then a sense of despair welled up in his heart!]
Here we go again!
It didn't even bother to retract the large amount of energy and blood that had inexplicably been released again.
Now, there's no anger left deep inside me, only pure fear!
"Why, why, why..."
It soared into the sky!
Yun Shou: "Holy crap!"
Then they flew towards the western border of the Demon Realm!
"Phew... I thought it was going to chop off a few illusory yang to clear its mind."
"Although the Feather Demon King had virtually no hope of finding the Eleventh Prince from the vast Yanghai Belt, it was still quite a thrilling experience."
The Feathered Demon King didn't ascend very high, only about 20,000 li (approximately 10,000 kilometers). The storm it stirred up while flying at supersonic speed only disturbed the gale-force winds.
[If you were in the Thunder Sea at the time, you might have heard the commotion caused by the Feathered Demon King's departure, but you were 4.7 million miles above the ground, nestled inside a giant sun.]
Therefore, you knew nothing about its departure.
[It wasn't until more than a day after the Feathered Demon King left that you sensed something was wrong during one of your downward explorations.]
"Hey, where's my Feather Demon King?"
"Where is I, such a tiny Feathered Demon King?"
"No way...you're scared off by just 2%? You're such a coward!"
Three days later, after making inquiries (including interrogating the demons), you learned that the Feathered Demon King had gone to another part of the Demon Realm, to the "Twelvefold Blood Pool" where the Barbarian Demon King resided.
[The communication channels in the Demon Realm are extremely limited, far less convenient than those of the human race: all human cities are equipped with Golden Spirit Computers, connected to the elemental energy network.]
The demon race's communication methods are even less convenient than the sea race's "magical conch shell," with most of the Great Demons of the Three Realms still operating on 2G networks.
So when you arrived at the "Seventh Blood Pool" and learned that the Feathered Demon King and the Barbarian Demon King had a falling out, it chose to go elsewhere.
[In order to be more efficient and have more time to interrogate and obtain information, you lowered your altitude to 500,000 miles above the ground, and even interrogated two false kings along the way, only to find out that the Feather Demon King had gone to the Heavenly Demon Palace.]
You have a clear understanding of the current situation.
It wanted the Barbarian King to help it find the reason for Essence-1, but the Barbarian King ignored it, so it had to submit to the adjustment and seek help from the weakest Thorn Demon King.
You almost lost your composure.
There is still half a day until the restoration to normalcy.
[You have arrived above the Heavenly Demon Palace and, through repeated testing, confirmed that the two great demon kings, Feather and Thorn, are currently located in the demon city 4.5 million miles below you.]
"The thought of a massive crater beneath this city..." makes it hard to look directly at.
While waiting for your weekly return to normalcy, your thoughts wander: "At this point, I wonder if the Thorn Demon King's Demon Egg has found a buyer yet?"
...
(I had a respiratory infection yesterday, with a headache and sore throat. I only took my temperature this afternoon and found I had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, so I'll only post this much for now (o﹃o ). I'll try my best to squeeze out another chapter this afternoon.)
