“Just like what you said, I am at least a Diabolism character. How can I learn from Righteous path’s style of work and speak of benevolence, righteousness, and morality?” Li Qing smiled faintly. “Not to mention, it’s even more impossible for you to promise a demonic beast like you to be trustworthy.”

“Don’t fool me here, I won’t believe it!” Of course, the Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede wouldn’t be so easily frightened by Li Qing’s words, “You clearly didn’t do anything just now, what did you use to restrain me? You must be lying!”

“Is that so? When I was helping you absorb the power of the Emperor’s extreme just now, how could you notice such a close distance if you wanted to plot against me?” Li Qing said.

“What? You plotted against me while you were healing me? What exactly did you do?” Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede hurriedly said

“It’s nothing. It’s just that I planted the Demonic Sense Heart Seal in your body. With your demonic beast’s demonic soul power, it’s very difficult for you to withstand this move!” Li Qing said.

“Brat, you dare to plot against me! Today, I want to see if your laborious Demonic Awakening Heart Seal can control me!” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede was enraged, and a long body leapt out, biting towards Li Qingchi.

However, in the next moment, its body froze in mid-air, its eyes revealing a terrified expression. All sorts of negative emotions, such as seven emotions and six desires, were constantly entangled in its mind, wanting to devour its consciousness

“No–why is the power of your move so terrifying?” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede’s eyes revealed a struggling expression.

“I helped you heal your wounds. It took you an entire day. How many Demon Sense Heart Seals do you think I can plant in your demon soul? How can it not be powerful?” Li Qing smiled.

More importantly, the Demonic Sense Heart Seal was ultimately a type of mental attack. Its power was closely related to the caster’s origin soul strength.

Li Qing was an undying Primordial Spirit. His Primordial Spirit had reached an unimaginable level. Using the Demonic Sense Heart Seal was naturally even more terrifying. Few people in this world could resist it.

The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede’s demon soul wasn’t weak anymore. It fused with its own demon body, making it extremely difficult to cause any damage to it. However, at this moment, under Li Qing’s Demon Awakening Heart Seal, it couldn’t hold on any longer.

If he had planted one or two Demonic Awakening Heart Seals, it might not be a problem. However, during the process of healing, Li Qing had planted over a hundred seeds of the Awakening Demon Heart Seal. At this moment, all of them erupted with terrifying power.

“Brat, you actually dare to plot against me! You’re courting death!” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede was extremely stubborn. Of course, it would not admit defeat so quickly. It immediately struggled intensely, wanting to suppress the negative emotions that erupted from its body.

Li Qing stood in the distance and quietly watched as the Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede’s negative emotions erupted. In order to prevent the Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede from going all out, he didn’t dare to get too close.

“I already knew that this old monster of yours would never keep his promise. Even if I had taken all kinds of precautions beforehand, it’s highly likely that I wouldn’t be able to restrain you. Why don’t I just try to plot against you during the healing process? This will save you a lot of trouble.” Li Qing smiled.

The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede lasted for half a day and finally felt that it was about to collapse. If this was the case, it would have to be devoured by the Demonic Sense Heart Seal and become a puppet creature without intelligence.

“Little friend Li Qing, if you have something to say, don’t be so rude.” Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede said with a smile.

This old monster had lived for tens of thousands of years. Of course, it was not the kind of existence that would rather die than surrender. If it encountered an element of force majeure, it would basically choose to flee without any principles. It could be seen that the Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede’s character was truly not good.

Now that he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately begged for mercy.

Originally, if Li Qing was too arrogant and approached the Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede, it might even try to sneak attack with the innate divine ability in its eyes, and then use it to threaten Li Qing in exchange for a chance to survive.

However, Li Qing was also extremely cautious. He stood and watched from afar. Even if he didn’t approach the Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede, it wouldn’t have the chance to use its innate divine ability to sneak attack.

“Looks like Fellow Daoist Nine Eyes has also figured it out. But since you’re about to be controlled by the Demonic Sense Heart Seal, I’ll just turn you into a demonic servant. Isn’t that better?” Li Qing sneered.

“If you turn me into a demonic servant, then you will lose more than half of your combat strength. This is definitely not what you want, right?” Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede said.

However, I don’t believe in your character. If I let you off this time, it’s inevitable that something will happen next time. Isn’t that not worth it? At the very least, I’ll turn you into a demonic servant. There’s no need to worry about being attacked by you. Li Qing said.

“As long as you are willing to let me live, I will promise you anything.” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede was indeed a scoundrel. In order to save his life, he didn’t care about any dignity.

Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh. This Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede had lived for tens of thousands of years. It really wasn’t luck. With its timid and rogue personality, it definitely lived longer than those tough demonic beasts.

“How about this, let go of your demon soul. I will plant a more powerful restriction in your body. As long as you dare to move, the restriction will immediately explode and shatter your demon soul.” Li Qing said.

“Alright, no problem!” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede was also straightforward. Without a mother-in-law, it released the demon soul and allowed Li Qing to plant a restriction.

“Don’t worry, as long as you perform well, I won’t do anything to you, much less endanger your life.” Li Qing said.

“That’s right, that’s right. From now on, I will be a member of the Myriad Devil Sect. I will definitely not slack off in contributing my strength to the development of the Myriad Devil Sect!”

The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede spoke very pleasantly. As for what it thought in its heart, Li Qing was too lazy to pay attention to it.

“Since you have lived for tens of thousands of years, you can be considered an elder among the demonic beasts. May I ask if you can recruit some demonic beasts to join my newly established Demon Court?” Li Qing asked.

“To be honest, I am good friends with many Demon God level existences. If I go and lobby, I should be able to draw in quite a bit of strength.” Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede said.

“Mm, I’ll leave this matter to you. If you can bring in enough Demon Gods, then I might be able to let you be the Demon Court’s Master!” Li Qing said.

“Lord Demon Court …” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede was a little surprised. “Are you really willing to let me take the highest position of the demon race? That would be equivalent to the new Demon Emperor.”

“That’s right. Do you think you’re not worthy of the Demon Emperor position?” Li Qing said, “At your peak, you can compare to the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm. If you add on the Nine Eyes Divine Ability, you can even deal damage to the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm. As for the Demon Emperor position, it is more than enough.”

“That’s right. The Ultimate Emperor’s power in my body has completely dissipated. Without the suppression of this power, I can recover to the peak of my strength in the near future.” The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a look of longing. “Even after all these years of accumulation, it’s not impossible for me to reach a higher level!”

The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede had been suppressed by the power of the Extreme Emperor, causing it to be extremely weak these past few years. But after all, he had lived for tens of thousands of years. Now that he had been liberated, his strength might really be able to rise to a whole new level.

“Whether you can become the Demon Emperor depends on your ability. If you drag too few people over, I will definitely not be satisfied. At that time, don’t even think about becoming the Demon Emperor.” Li Qing said.

“Alright, it’s a deal! If I bring in enough Demon Gods, then give me the Demon Emperor position! I hope you won’t break your promise!” Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede said, his eyes filled with desire. Facing the position of supreme being that he was about to obtain, he was also extremely moved.

“Why would I lie to you? Your life is already in my hands. Do you still need to use such methods to deceive me?” Li Qing said.

“Right, there is another matter.” “I heard that the descendants of the Eternal Nightmare are in your hands?”

“That’s right. The Demon Court this time is built with these noble bloodlines as its core. You will see them in the future as well.” Li Qing nodded.

“The Eternal Nightmare was at least a Demon Emperor back then, and its subordinates had extraordinary powers scattered all over the world. One of them was the most loyal subordinate to the Eternal Nightmare. I’m sure you don’t know about this.”

“Oh? Where are the most loyal subordinates?” Li Qing asked.

“It’s in the Spirit Sea!”

“Spirit Sea? I see!” Li Qing’s eyes narrowed as he instantly thought of many things.

“The three great demon gods of the Spirit Sea and nearly a hundred demon saints are all subordinates of the Eternal Nightmare! If you bring that descendant of the Nightmare to look for them, most of the demon beasts will obey.” Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede said.

“Very good, this news of yours is very valuable. It can be considered a great contribution!” Li Qing smiled and said, “Next, you continue to contact your good friends, and I am going to the Spirit Sea to subdue the Eternal Nightmare back then.”

…

A few days later, Li Qing arrived at the Spirit Sea. Of course, Xiao Bai was definitely next to him.

The Spirit Sea was a very special ocean. It was said to be the source of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It itself possessed extremely powerful power and could block foreign objects from entering it.

However, since Li Qing possessed the Ascension Heavenly Palace, where could the heavens and earth not go? Even the power of the Spiritual Sea was unable to stop the invasion of the Ascension Heavenly Palace.

More importantly, Li Qing knew the exact location of the Spiritual Sea. It was located in the deepest part of the ocean, so he could reach it directly from the Ascension Heavenly Palace.

After entering the spiritual sea, Li Qing brought Xiao Bai and asked, “Do you know your father’s old subordinates back then?”

“I don’t know!” Xiao Bai shook his head, “Since the day I remember, I have been living in that Middle Cloud Realm. How can I have any connection with those demonic beasts?”

In the Spirit Sea, there were a lot of demonic beasts. Apart from the old subordinates of the Eternal Nightmare, there were also many demonic beasts that were native to the Spirit Sea. In fact, these demonic beasts accounted for the overwhelming majority of the demonic beasts in the Spirit Sea.

Li Qing’s main purpose in coming to the Spirit Sea was naturally to subdue the subordinates of the Eternal Nightmare. However, if he had the chance, he might as well take away some of the demonic beasts that were born and bred here and increase their strength.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn’t help but think of a special creature. He had interacted with him several times back then.

“That fellow is so cunning. He shouldn’t be born and raised in the Spirit Sea. Most likely, he is a subordinate of the Eternal Nightmare.” Li Qing couldn’t help but smile.

“Big brother, where are you going? This doesn’t seem to be the direction of the center of the Spirit Sea.” Xiao Bai said.

“To see an old friend.” Li Qing didn’t say much.

Not long after, an island appeared in front of him. It was covered in dense jungle.

After flying into the jungle, Li Qing said, “Old Tree Demon, I’ve come to see you again. Hurry up and come out to pick up the guests.”

“Holy shit, why are you here again?” The tree demon in the depths of the island let out an extremely destructive voice.

“You’ve had two dealings, at least. You don’t look too happy.” Li Qing smiled.

“Nonsense, you always come here to steal from me. Who would be happy?” The Tree Demon said angrily.

“I don’t like the treasures in your possession anymore. I came here today for something else.” Li Qing said.

“What is it?”

“You should not be a demonic beast born and raised in the Spirit Sea, but a subordinate of the Eternal Nightmare, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? What eternal nightmare? I don’t know.” Said the Tree Demon.

“Don’t lie to me. Your true body is within the range of my divine sense. I can clearly see that expression. That shocked expression clearly cannot be falsified. You are indeed a subordinate of the Eternal Nightmare.” Li Qing said.

With Li Qing’s current strength, how could a mere tree demon hide it from him? This island was within the range of his divine sense and could be seen at a glance.

“Why are you asking this? Even if I was a subordinate of the Eternal Nightmare back then, do you have any questions?” Said the Tree Demon.

“Look who this person is.” Li Qing pulled Xiao Bai out.

“Who knows who she is? How can I know a human?” Said the Tree Demon.

“Uh… Xiao Bai, turn back to your original body.” Li Qing was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Bai immediately revealed his true form, transforming into a white cloud. The familiar aura was displayed, allowing the tree demon to feel it.

“You … you’re the young master!” The Tree Demon cried out loudly. Then, a rumbling sound came from within the forest. Then, a huge old tree ran over frantically. Using its roots as its feet, it was able to run faster than the thieves.

“It really is Young Master!” A face appeared on Tree Demon’s face as he stared at Xiao Bai with an excited expression.
