Chapter 1367: The truth about Tyrannical Scholar

Song Shuhang murmured, “I keep on getting the feeling that there’s someone targeting me… I don’t really mind if the scholarly daoist names were taken, but even ‘Divine Sword Song One’ was occupied. Finally, the option ‘Scholarly Sage’ appeared, yet in the end, it actually became ‘Tyrannical Scholar’?”

He kept on getting the feeling that the demon name ‘Divine Sword Song One’ had definitely been stolen by someone, and there was a chance that it was someone he was familiar with who rushed to take this demon name to shatter his fantasy of having the words Divine Sword in his name.

There are always people out to harm me…

Senior White Two calmly replied, “The first few daoist names you suggested were indeed taken by Netherworld demons. As for why a demon had taken Divine Sword Song One, perhaps it’s because of some demon called Song One? Finally, the reason why the ‘Scholarly Sage’ option has changed is very simple. It’s because of the conditions for a daoist name to have a chance of appearing on a Demon Seal—you have to have used the daoist name before, or you have to truly conform with the daoist name. You had never used the daoist name ‘Scholarly Sage’, and you weren’t that great of a match for it. Naturally, your Demon Seal would not be able to have ‘Scholarly Sage’. As such, it’s very normal that the demon name on your Demon Seal has been modified.”

Moreover, the weight of the name ‘Scholarly Sage’ was very heavy. Although it was unknown why Song Shuhang’s Demon Seal had randomly shown the possibility for it, it was good for him that it didn’t end up being his demon name.

Similar to the ‘Sage Seal’, after one condensed their Demon Seal, there’d be a special effect of [Nobody under the heavens doesn’t know of me] which would last for the following year.

In other words, in the following year, as long as anyone within the universe and the Netherworld stared at Song Shuhang, his two titles would appear in their mind. One was ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’, while the other was ‘Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar’.

If someone who wasn’t privy to the truth were to see Song Shuhang with two Eighth Stage titles all by himself, perhaps they would be dumbfounded.

“Alright, stop worrying about it. At least ‘Tyrannical Scholar’ has the word ‘Scholar’ in it. From a certain point of view, it has fulfilled your desire to have a scholarly daoist name. Next, you should prepare for the Demon Sage Speech that will soon begin. Have you prepared a manuscript?” Senior White Two asked.

Song Shuhang hurriedly said, “I’m just at the Fourth Stage… Oh, wait, I’m at the Fifth Stage. I’m just a mere Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor. Why would I prepare a manuscript for something like the Demon Sage Speech?”

Senior White Two said, “Then you’d better hurry up. If you fail to deliver a satisfactory Demon Sage Speech, there will be some punishment, similar to the inner demon tribulation that appears in the main world when the Profound Sage Speech is lacking.”

Song Shuhang said, “If it’s just an inner demon tribulation, I already have the virtuous lamia. Therefore, I should have enough power of virtue to block it, right?”

Senior White Two said, “Who said that you were going to face an inner demon tribulation? This is the Netherworld Realm. If you deliver a good Demon Sage Speech, you can acquire a powerful [Demon Sage Talent]. If not, then you will have to endure 365 different kinds of pain in the following year. One kind of pain every day, without repetition.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

Isn’t that hell?

Senior White Two said, “Prepare well, I can’t help you with this. At most I could use my authority to pick some of the less painful punishments so that you can survive 365 days.”

Song Shuhang quickly said, “Don’t be like this, Senior White. Can’t you give me a Demon Sage Speech manuscript?”

Senior White Two chuckled, and said, “How many jokes are you going to trade for it? Also… I’ve already attained a really high realm. The scripts that I’ve written are at least at the ‘Immortal’ level. Do you think you’ll be able to pay for them?”

Song Shuhang: “…”

He didn’t dare to ask ‘how many jokes’ he needed to be able to trade for a script. No matter what, that amount would definitely be an amount that he would never be able to reach.

Senior White Two prompted, “You have five minutes left to prepare.”

Song Shuhang thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was a manuscript for a Profound Sage Speech in the Ancestral Witch’s Blessing on his left hand, so he asked, “Senior White, would a script that was made for the Profound Sage Speech work?”

Senior White Two said, “It depends on what it is for. If it is a manuscript for the Light System, Holy Light System, Buddhist System, or Scholarly Faction System, you will definitely be done for if you use it in the Demon Sage Speech.”

Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up. “It’s a manuscript called the ❮Demon Seed in One’s Heart❯, I think it should be quite fitting.”

“From its name, it sounds like it should be fine. Go ahead and try it out,” Senior White Two said. “It’s best for you to read the manuscript first and prepare yourself.”

Song Shuhang nodded, then took out the ❮Demon Seed in One’s Heart❯ manuscript, and began to read it.

This was a lecture written by a big shot of the Demonic System. Its content appeared to be relatively violent, so it felt like it should be quite suitable for a ‘Demon Sage Speech’.

Inside the Limitless Demon Sect.

Young Master Hai slowly stood up. “Great, my condition is perfect now. I have completely suppressed that curse. It’s time for me to advance to the Fifth Stage.”

By his side, Zheng Neng and Demon Monarch Anzhi opened their eyes at the same time.

As their five-month-long seclusion was about to reach its end, the three adjusted themselves to their best condition.

Demon Monarch Anzhi said, “This time, I shall pave my way to eight dragon patterns.”

Zheng Neng nodded silently. “Obtaining eight dragon patterns is a must. With that, it would be possible to become a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender, and maybe even attain a path and become an Immortal.”

Young Master Hai confidently said, “I have already chosen where I will transcend my tribulation. Everything is prepared, wish me luck!”

While they were talking, the three disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect who had just ended their seclusion suddenly felt something in their hearts.

The three raised their heads together and looked towards the sky.

Was there another big shot who was going to perform a ‘Divinity Show’?

Recently, there had been a lot of big shots showing their divinity, signifying that a great era had arrived.

As such, they had to seize the opportunity, avoiding being swallowed up by the wave of the great era, and trying their best to become the group on the top!

After Young Master Hai looked up at the sky, he saw a magnificent scene.

There were Nine Ancient Holy Apes each holding scriptures, and there was a familiar lamia at the side of the Holy Apes.

As the focus moved down… a young, kind face appeared before his eyes.

The first Sage in a thousand years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

New Demon Sage of the Netherworld, Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar.

Two seemingly opposite identities emerged from the same person.

Is he a daoist and demonic cultivator?

It’s him again, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song!

Young Master Hai’s face paled. A sweet taste then came from his throat as the smell of blood swelled up.

At this time, another ‘message’ sounded within where they had closed up.

“Junior Brother Hai, have you finished your seclusion? This is Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant. I have the latest information for you. I have personally conducted an investigation and found that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s realm is really weird. He is actually only at the Fourth Stage Realm. Just be patient, then when you ascend to the Fifth Stage, you can easily fight him. He won’t become your inner demon, so you can rest assured.”

As Young Master Hai heard this, he finally couldn’t help but spew out a bit of blood.

I would rather ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’ be a senior who was merely experiencing the mortal world and teasing me so that I would at least have the motivation to chase after him.

Young Master Hai laughed in despair.

After he reached the Fifth Stage Realm, ‘Tyrannical Song’ was destined to become his inner demon.

“Hai, are you alright?” Demon Monarch Anzhi asked in worry.

“Don’t worry, I’m Young Master Hai.” Young Master Hai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “I admit that the matter concerning Tyrannical Song has dealt the biggest blow to me. However, this can’t beat me. Let’s go, I shall see you again… at the Fifth Stage!”

“See you at the Fifth Stage.” Zheng Neng gently stroked his bamboo sword.

“See you at the Fifth Stage,” said Demon Monarch Anzhi.

As they were going to transcend their tribulations, of course they had to part ways.

Transcending a tribulation together was an act no different from seeking death.

❄️❄️❄️

Five minutes later.

The cultivators of the universe and the demons of the Netherworld all perked up their ears, no longer whispering or discussing with one another.

Because the next stage was when the Eighth Stage big shot was going to give everyone some benefits.

For the cultivators of the universe, this year was a joyous one.

Eighth Stage big shots had held speeches seven times in total. Other than ‘Profound Sage Eternity’, who had used his Profound Sage Speech to confess his love, the contents of the other speeches were excellent. Although the speech delivered by Daoist Priest Horizon was a little weak, it was practical nonetheless!

Everyone could remember that when Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had delivered a speech the first time, the content of his speech was at the level of a ‘Tribulation Transcender’. The practitioners of the universe had all been looking forward to getting another opportunity to listen to him.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity really appeared.

It was time for Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s—Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar’s—second speech.

The practitioners of the universe thought to themselves, I wonder what Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar is going to talk about this time. I’m really looking forward to it.

Even some of the veteran Profound Sages and Tribulation Transcenders put aside the matters they had at hand and looked at Song Shuhang.

Everyone hoped that this time, Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar’s speech could bring them another surprise, and allow them to learn and gain rewards from analyzing his speech.

❄️❄️❄️

In the screen of ‘Demon Sage Speech’, Song Shuhang slowly emerged.

At this moment, he felt that hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes were staring at him from all over the universe. There were a lot more gazes this time than for the ‘Profound Sage Speech’ as there were also people from the ‘Netherworld Realm’.

The first time, he was new to things. This second time, he was already familiar.

Song Shuhang was calm as he emerged in the second speech.

During the past five minutes, he had already memorized the ❮Demon Seed in One’s Heart❯ in his mind, and now he simply had to act the part and perform… No, it was fine as long as he spoke.

Behind Song Shuhang, the nine Ancient Holy Ape Projections were his main support.

They held their scriptures and began to chant silently.

The virtuous lamia enveloped Song Shuhang, while the Sage Seal and the Demon Seal floated around her. The three continued to cover Song Shuhang with the dignity of an ‘Eighth Stage big shot’.

Before he spoke, Song Shuhang closed his eyes and boosted his aura using the aura from the ‘Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’.

Previously, when he used Cheng Lin’s speech, he had simulated Cheng Lin’s aura.

He had never seen the original owner of the ❮Demon Seed in One’s Heart❯, so he did not have any way to stimulate their aura. Therefore, he instead borrowed Senior Scarlet Heaven’s.

A heaven burning sword intent emerged from Song Shuhang.

Scarlet Heaven was considered a peak existence even amongst Immortals.

After Song Shuhang imitated his aura, a profound and mysterious feeling suddenly emerged.

Then, he stretched out his hand to make a hand seal, and opened his mouth to talk about the ❮Demon Seed in One’s Heart❯.

When he opened his mouth, Song Shuhang’s aura suddenly changed from a tyrannical aura that seemed to desire to burn the heavens to a jade-like and virtuous aura.

He was Tyrannical Scholar, and he could seamlessly switch from a tyrannical aura to a scholarly one!
