"Nether Spring!"
A thunderous roar echoed in the spacious temple like an echo in an empty valley. "Nether Spring! Nether Spring! Nether Spring!"
A crimson shooting star rose from the ground and circled around the few intruders. The intruders were blown far away like sparrowhawks whose strings had been cut, while they screamed miserably.
The body that was enshrouded in flames came to an abrupt halt in front of the extraordinarily handsome Insect Clan member. The flames faded away, revealing the infuriated face of the Fire Ant.
The two antennae on the top of his head had expanded to the maximum and turned into a deep purple color. Veins were entangled on the antennae. His body was twice as big as before. The shell that was stuck to his body was rising, like the flow stabilizers that were unfolded before a supersonic shuttle took off.
However, Li Yao somehow felt that his fury was more or less a facade than it seemed.
It was because Elder Nether Spring, one of the twelve demon emperors of the Pantheon of Demons, the mastermind of the Nether Spring Kingdom, and one of the 'four giants' of the Blood Demon Sector, was standing in midair!
Li Yao had asked Jin Xinyue to draw vivid portraits of all the important persons of the Blood Demon Sector. However, no matter how hard Jin Xinyue tried, she could not capture the real aura of the unparalleled expert.
Even though it was the picture sent over by Neltharion, Li Yao could still sense the overwhelming pressure from Elder Nether Spring, as if Elder Nether Spring was standing right behind him and breathing quietly.
One of the four giants of the Blood Demon Sector. He truly deserves his reputation!
"His strength is definitely at the level of a high-level Demon Royal, or even higher than that!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. The enemy was an enemy of the same level as Xiao Xuance, if not even stronger, than the latter!
The Fire Ant and Elder Nether Spring were blood brothers from the same father and mother. Other than the main colors of their shells, one was red and the other was green, they looked very similar.
However, when they were side by side, they gave a weird feeling, as if …
The Fire Ant was just a 'larva' that was still growing.
Elder Nether Spring. That was the real "mature form"!
Fire Ant and Elder Nether Spring, two experts in the demon emperor level, confronted each other coldly.
The invisible air pressure collided with each other, and the sound of air flowing could be heard. It was like ten thousand pressure cookers screaming at the same time.
Air currents swirled in the air above the temple, distorting the figures of the two Demon Emperors.
"Secluded Springs!"
The Fire Ant's face twisted. He clenched his teeth, "How did you find this place!?"
Elder Nether Spring smiled. His voice was even more gentle and elegant than that of the Fire Ant. "I've studied the Mausoleum of Chaos for decades. Naturally, I know its general location. Although I don't know the specific coordinates, as long as I keep a close eye on Void Turmoil City and lock onto your whereabouts, I will be able to trace my way to this place!"
The Fire Ant King's pupils constricted violently, as if he had understood everything in the blink of an eye. It was almost dripping blood.
His voice became extremely hoarse. "You've been suspecting me for a long time?"
"No. I've never suspected you."
Elder Nether Spring shook his head and said peacefully, "Since the very beginning, I was very certain that an enormous organization such as the Blade of Chaos could not have been established by random people. My dear brother, the Fire Ant, was certainly not the kind of person who cared about brotherhood. He would've abandoned the entire Nether Spring Kingdom.
"Since you gave up the control of the Nether Spring Kingdom willingly, there must've been something that attracted you more. The prosperous development of Void Turmoil City and the rapid rise of the Blade of Chaos must've been too coincidental. In the Riot of Bloody Blade, the few rebels in the lead were all deeply connected to Void Turmoil City. Isn't the answer obvious? "
The Fire Ant took a deep breath. "Why didn't you stop me?"
"Why should I?"
Elder Nether Spring said with a smile, "What you were doing was exactly what I wanted to do. This is also what I want to do, to explore the source of the Shifter race and discover the secrets of the Chaos! "
"However, as the ruler of the Nether Spring Kingdom and one of the twelve demon emperors, it was inconvenient for me to do many things in person. Even if I did, too many traces would've been left behind, which would've raised the suspicion of other demon emperors, especially the other three giants.
"Since my dear brother was willing to do everything on your own initiative, why couldn't I just wait and see? As I expected, you did a much better job than I expected. Not only did you establish such an enormous enterprise in Void Turmoil City, you also found and opened the Mausoleum of Chaos from the incomplete files! "
"So," the Fire Ant mumbled, "the files in Bone Sand City were intentionally leaked to me by you?"
"You have some scraps of files about the Mausoleum of Chaos," Elder Nether Spring said casually. "I have some scraps of files about the Mausoleum of Chaos, and so do I. Since I cannot get your scraps, I might as well offer mine to you. You will certainly try your best to complete everything in the future.
"Although there were some minor accidents during the process, the ending was a happy ending, wasn't it?"
"A happy ending?"
The Fire Ant glanced at Elder Nether Spring's subordinates. His face was more and more hideous and crazy as he said, one word after another, "Nether Spring, it seems that I've completely fallen into your trap. However, are you not curious about why I joined the Blade of Chaos and even became the leader of the Blade of Chaos after only decades?"
"Many silver-blood demons have joined the Blade of Chaos for power, strength, revenge, and all kinds of other uncanny reasons," Elder Nether Spring said. "What's so strange about that?"
The Fire Ant sneered. "If you think that I joined and even made use of the Blade of Chaos only for the supreme power, you couldn't be more wrong!
"I am a real believer of Chaos!"
"The reason? It's very simple! "
The Fire Ant's aura suddenly burst out. Glamorous flames were dancing around him. After a while of cracking sounds, a barrier that sealed his body suddenly exploded, and a long tail popped out of his back!
The tail, which was more than one meter long and very elastic, was obviously not a feature of the Insect Clan but a feature of the Horn Clan or the Claw Clan!
The Fire Ant took a long breath in relief, as if he had broken free from all the restraints. He chuckled and said, "Do you see? A tail. A tail that does not belong to the Insect Clan!
"I did not transform it with the power of my genes. It was awakened on my own when I was fifteen and a half years old!
"The tail means that I am not a pure silver-blood demon but a chaotic-blood demon mixed with the features of the Insect Clan and the Claw Clan!
"Haha. Hahahaha. At that time, I was so shocked that I almost killed myself countless times.
"It was not until I read a lot of ancient books that I learned that such things had happened many times in history. Many silver-blood demons and even saint-blood demons who claimed to have pure bloodlines actually had their bloodlines corrupted in a certain generation before their ancestors. However, the genes of different kinds of demons had always been in the hibernation state.
"If the genes of the demons had been hibernating, they would have been able to maintain the illusion that they were high-level demons for the rest of their lives.
"Even so, the genes of the demons would still be passed on to their offspring through heredity!
"Hehe. If a certain unlucky offspring activated the hibernating genes of the demons for some uncanny reason, they would turn from the noble saint-blood or silver-blood demons into the lowliest chaotic-blood demons all of a sudden!
"In the ancient books, there is a most appropriate name for such pathetic guys — hibernate-blood demons!
"Yes. I am a hibernate-blood demon. Hit by a one in ten thousand chance, I awakened my genes and turned from a silver-blood to a chaotic-blood demon!
"That was the real reason why I gave up the competition with you years ago, founded Void Turmoil City, and became the leader of the Blade of Chaos!"
The Fire Ant blinked, as if he had taken control of the situation for the first time. He put on a cruel smile and said, "But what does that mean?
"Nether Spring, you are my blood brother from the same father and mother. Look at us. Nobody can deny that!
"Since I am not a high and mighty silver-blood demon but the lowliest, untouchable chaotic-blood demons in the eyes of the nobles, what about you?
"What are you, the ruler of the Nether Spring Kingdom and one of the four giants of the Blood Demon Sector?
"Do you understand it now? Maybe you do not have the features of other demons, but the genes of the demons are definitely hidden in your blood, just like mine! I am the living proof! "
"You are the same as me. You are not a silver-blood demon but a chaotic-blood demon!"
On the second floor of the basement, Li Yao was almost shrieking because of the shocking secret.
Elder Nether Spring, one of the four giants of the Blood Demon Sector and one of the real decision-makers in the Pantheon of Demons, turned out to be the lowliest chaotic-blood demon?
It was indeed a piece of shocking news!
The Fire Ant seemed to be confident of his victory. He roared at the warriors in front of Elder Nether Spring who had been strengthened by the demon cores. "Maybe you are all loyal to Elder Nether Spring, and you don't even care if he is a silver-blood demon, but use your brains!
"You have heard Elder Nether Spring's greatest secret. Will he allow you to walk out of here alive and spread the news?"
The warriors who had been strengthened by the demon cores and Elder Nether Spring himself, however, did not even shiver their antennae. They simply stared at him as if he were an idiot.
The Fire Ant was dazed. A moment later, his voice turned high and sharp. "You knew it a long time ago!
"You knew that you were not a silver-blood demon but a chaotic-blood demon!
"If so, why did you go against me? Why did you annihilate the Blade of Chaos? Why didn't you take back what belongs to the chaotic-blood demons together with me? "
The Fire Ant was completely at a loss.
"Yes," Elder Nether Spring said gloomily. "I knew who I was a long time ago. That's why I brought neither the Coalition Army of Demons nor the troops of the Nether Spring Kingdom but my own private army. They are called the 'Nether World Watch'.
"Stop wasting your time trying to drive a wedge between me and the Nether World Watch. You can't do it."
