Chapter 109 You Are Not Worthy
“Tiger Sovereign, it's been a while. Getting cocky now, are we?”
Threatened by the Tiger Sovereign, Ji Jiuli was slightly surprised.
When did this Tiger Sovereign become so bold?
Although the Tiger Sovereign was the supreme being of the demon race, its strongest, for a long time he followed the demon race's lead.
Now, the Tiger Sovereign actually dared to threaten Ji Jiuli?
Did he eat a bear's heart and a leopard's gall?
“Don't forget the oath you made with the demons back then!”
Hearing this, the Tiger Sovereign chuckled and said, “Oath? Breaking it is more like it.”
He opened his arms, seemingly guiding Ji Jiuli and Lin Ning to look at the group of demon generals behind him.
The Tiger Sovereign smiled and said, “Empress, times have changed.”
“The era has changed, the great world has already arrived, stop talking about the past.”
He pointed to the group of demon powerhouses behind him and continued, “I admit that the Undead Emperor and those old demons were all dealt with by our demon race.”
“Weren't you very arrogant? For so many years, you've been saying you treat us like younger brothers, but you take all the resources!”
“Our demon race can't even get a sip of soup. We also need resources to cultivate, and we also want territory! Without you demons, our demon race can still be strong!”
The demon race has been treated as second fiddle for many years. For thousands of years, the Tiger Sovereign usually acted like a smiling tiger, secretly building up strength.
He and the demon race finally waited for this opportunity, their chance to turn the tables!
The demon race has always had the goal of dominating the desolate ancient continent. It's time to take back what belongs to them!
“Tiger Sovereign, don't forget who healed you when you were seriously injured by a foreign race, who defended you from a fatal blow!” Ji Jiuli said with a cold face.
An undisguised killing intent continued to erupt, immediately causing a burst of swords and shadows to echo around.
“Don't mention the past to me.”
The Tiger Sovereign waved his hand, looking impatient. “I've done a lot for the Undead Emperor, I don't owe him anything.”
Staring at Ji Jiuli with a gloomy gaze, the Tiger Sovereign said, “Nine-Tailed Fox Sovereign, I admit you've helped our demon race a lot, that's why I haven't killed you yet.”
“If we meet next time, you won't be so lucky.”
Turning to look at Lin Ning, the Tiger Sovereign's eyes were full of greed. “Emperor Lin, it's time for us to settle some scores.”
Lin Ning asked, “Settle what scores? Don't tell me I owe your demon race something?”
Heh heh, interesting.
I'm already being nice by not killing you demons.
You actually want to settle scores with me?
“The things of our ancestors should be returned to us.” The Tiger Sovereign said, “The ancient demon god gave you the inheritance and also wanted you to pass it on to us.”
“But so much time has passed, and we haven't seen any intention of you passing on the inheritance. Could it be that you want to monopolize it?”
Hearing this, Lin Ning understood.
So they want to take back the things of the ancient demon god.
Actually, it's not that Lin Ning doesn't want to pass on the Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture to the demon race.
It's just that the ancient demon god had another layer of meaning when he passed on the inheritance.
Lin Ning obtained the Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture, but he also had obligations.
First, Lin Ning needed to protect the demon race and prevent them from being exterminated, so that the ancient demon god could be gratified in the afterlife.
Second, Lin Ning needed to select the most talented and potential member of the demon race over the long years.
This Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture is very difficult to cultivate. Even Lin Ning can only condense blood into inscriptions.
To achieve minor success in the technique, one needs to go through countless life-and-death battles. After each life-and-death battle, the battle intent will condense into blood armor components.
The cultivator's blood armor is very powerful, such as the God-Slaying Dragon Helmet and the Sky-Tearing Claw Armor. These blood armors are much more powerful than emperor weapons.
But... it's difficult for Lin Ning to achieve battle intent manifestation.
After all, when Lin Ning encounters enemies, he crushes them with invincible power.
Where does the life-and-death battle come from?
If there is a life-and-death battle, it is the enemy's life-and-death battle, life at the beginning, death at the end!
“Emperor Lin, you are very strong.” The Tiger Sovereign did not hesitate to praise him. He admired Lin Ning's talent very much.
In addition, the ancestor, the ancient demon god, personally gave the inheritance to Lin Ning.
Otherwise, according to the Tiger Sovereign's personality, he would have turned against Lin Ning long ago.
“I heard that you possess a strange technique.”
The Tiger Sovereign said, “But, you should take a good look, how much stronger are the brothers behind me when they are added together!”
As soon as he finished speaking, behind the Tiger Sovereign.
Bang bang bang!
Powerful auras broke through the limits of the body, and waves of emperor-level auras poured out.
Upon closer inspection, including the Tiger Sovereign, the demon race actually had twenty emperors!
This number far exceeded the demon race, making them the number one race in the desolate ancient continent!
“Impossible, how can your demon race have so many emperor-level powerhouses!”
Ji Jiuli exclaimed in shock, “The last time I came to the demon race, you only had four genuine emperors. Although the cultivation of the others could reach it, it was not stable and could only be considered pseudo-emperors.”
“In just two years, how could so many emperors appear?”
Ji Jiuli was very confused.
The auras of these demon emperors on the opposite side were very stable and powerful, indicating that they had been in the emperor realm for a long time.
But, according to the Tiger Sovereign's personality.
If these emperors existed before, why would their demon race have been so patient for so many years?
Twenty-one emperors, plus a group of immortal emperors and great emperor powerhouses, could have swept across the desolate ancient continent long ago.
Why did the demon race have to endure until now??
“Emperor Lin, shouldn't you return the things to us?”
The Tiger Sovereign said with a smile, “If you return the technique to us, we can still be friends.”
“If you like, we will give you a piece of land when our demon race occupies the entire desolate ancient continent.”
Worried that Lin Ning would not believe him, the Tiger Sovereign added, “You don't have to worry about me going back on my word.”
“After all, you are a human recognized by our demon ancestor. If the ancestor recognizes you, then our demon race will naturally recognize you.”
“But, if you are unwilling to hand over the technique, then we have nothing to talk about!”
After showing off his muscles, the Tiger Sovereign was full of confidence.
He believed that even if Emperor Lin was strong, he would definitely hand over the Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture after seeing the strength of their demon race.
As long as Lin Ning handed over the Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture, they would still be friends and would not fall out.
The eyes of the many demon emperors were fixed on Lin Ning, their eyes shining, looking forward to the technique that Lin Ning would speak of.
This was the powerful technique of their ancestor who fought in all directions and even roamed the starry sky.
If their demon race regained control of the ancestor's inheritance, the demon race's return to its peak would be just around the corner.
“Master, I was careless. I don't know why they have become so powerful.”
Ji Jiuli transmitted her voice, “I recognize the faces of these emperors. They were just immortal emperors before. It's as if they suddenly became emperors.”
“The demon race is very strange. If so many demon emperors break through to the emperor realm, it will definitely cause a heavenly tribulation. I haven't even received the news.”
Lin Ning smiled, “It's okay, a small problem.”
He took a step forward.
Under the expectations of many demon emperors, Lin Ning slowly said:
“You are too weak, your potential is too small, not enough to inherit.”
