On the other hand, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master had completely walked down the path of demons. Be it humans or other races, he had already identified them as his food. This was fundamentally different from Ye Xuan.
"I really want to know if you will die if you devour all the creatures of Chaos one day and there is nothing left for you to devour."
Suddenly, after a few breaths of silence, Ye Xuan asked the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master an extremely abrupt question. This caused the smile on the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's face to gradually turn gloomy as though Ye Xuan's question had hit his soft spot.
"Ye Xuan, I have always thought that you and I are the same type of person. Even though you didn't cultivate my Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, your devouring technique is similar to mine. But now, it seems like you aren't the person I want. I suddenly have the thought of killing you."
Buzz!
The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Light spread and shrouded the entire Heaven-Devouring Demonic Palace. Even the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's eyes turned blood-red in an instant as though he would devour Ye Xuan at the very next moment.
Unfortunately, in the face of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's terrifying murderous intent, Ye Xuan didn't panic at all. Instead, he picked up a fruit from the table and ate it casually.
This scene made the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master tense up. At the next moment, the murderous intent disappeared without a trace and the corners of his mouth curled into a self-mocking smile.
"Interesting, interesting. You are really bold. You are constantly provoking me, but this won't do you any good because I am not the Undying God Lord. Perhaps he only wants to obtain the secret of opening the Gate of Reincarnation from you and not kill you. But if you really infuriate me, I will devour you until not even your bones are left," the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master said.
"I don't want to waste time talking nonsense. I'm sure you have guessed that I came to see you today. I just want to make a deal with you."
Ye Xuan didn't want to continue testing each other with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master. Both of them had great goals for each other and getting straight to the point was the most direct way.
"Oh? What deal? "
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master sat down again. He raised his wine cup and drained the contents. However, a demonic light flashed across his eyes. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"If I'm not wrong, although you've attained the Dao for a long time, you've already fallen deeply into the Devil Path. Every now and then, you'll have to devour an enormous amount of energy to maintain your cultivation. If you can't devour enough energy, I'm afraid you'll die, right?"
Boom!
Ye Xuan directly threw out a heavy bomb. As soon as he finished speaking, the wine cup in the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's hand was crushed. The originally teasing expression on his face turned gloomy.
"Go on."
However, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master didn't show any killing intent. He merely spat out three words and his eyes were already focused on Ye Xuan.
"Devouring the heavens, devouring the earth, and all living things as food. Your Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art can be said to be unparalleled since ancient times and all living things in the Chaos tremble in fear when they hear its name. However, I believe that in this world, there are always gains and losses. Blindly devouring all living things to increase your cultivation seems extremely terrifying, but the Chaotic Universe is fair. I'm afraid you'll have to pay a painful price for it, right?" Ye Xuan spoke frankly with assurance.
"Go on."
Ye Xuan didn't say a word. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's gaze turned even colder. This was because what Ye Xuan said was related to a great secret of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master. And this secret was only known to him.
"You attained Dao in the Seventh Era. That was the darkest era in the Chaos. Wherever the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master passed, all living things perished and became food for your mouth."
"From the perspective of the Ten Great Yuans, you, the Heaven Devouring Demon Lord, have reached the Dao the fastest. You have only used less than fifty million years to reach the Dao, while the other supreme experts have used several times more time to reach the Dao than you. Your cultivation is also ranked in the top five of the ten supreme experts."
"What are you trying to say?" The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's eyes narrowed. His five fingers constantly tapped on the table, producing a ticking sound. This proved that his heart wasn't calm.
"You've fallen into the demonic path. It's not your temperament that has fallen into the demonic path, but because of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. Although this supreme technique was created by you, it has a great flaw, and that is the word 'devouring'."
Ye Xuan looked at the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master. His voice was resolute and decisive as he continued, "Only by constantly devouring will you be able to calm the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. Only then will you be able to maintain your cultivation as an Eternal and surpass the other Sovereigns."
"But when you don't devour enough energy, the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art will begin to devour you. It will spontaneously devour your cultivation and soul until you're nothing more than a wisp of ash. In the end, you won't even need to wait until the end of the Twelve Eras. You won't even be able to see the Gate of Reincarnation. Your soul will scatter and die."
"How can you be so sure?" The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's voice was extremely sinister.
"It's simple. Because the Forbidden One told me that the Chaosverse is fair. In this world, there are gains and losses. The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art you created is truly terrifying. Aside from the three Sovereigns of Chaos, Destiny, and Spacetime, your technique is capable of suppressing the other Sovereigns."
"But the reason why you're so strong is because of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. However, this heaven-defying technique has already violated the Forbidden One. The Chaosverse simply cannot tolerate you. And yet, you're still safe and sound. This means that the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art has a fatal flaw. Only by constantly devouring and madly devouring can you maintain your existence in this world."
"Am I right, respected Lord Heaven-Devouring Demon Master?" Ye Xuan revealed his white teeth as he smiled at the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master.
Clap — Clap — Clap!
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master clapped his hands. He was clapping very sincerely. However, the terrifying Heaven-Devouring Demonic Light had already overflowed. He looked at Ye Xuan as though he was looking at a dead man.
"You're very smart. So smart that I'm amazed. But don't you know that smart people die very quickly?" The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's killing intent was revealed.
"I don't know whether or not I'll die very quickly. But I am the respected Lord Heaven-Devouring Demon Master. You shouldn't be able to survive past the Tenth Period because the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art in your body has already begun to backfire. Even if I die by your hands today, it won't be long before you join me."
"However, this is truly laughable. Who would've thought that the grand Seventh Period's strongest expert, the one who instilled fear in all living beings throughout the ages, would actually suffer a backlash from the strongest technique he created? In the end, his soul would scatter. If news of this were to spread, I'm afraid you'll become the biggest laughingstock in the Chaosverse."
Ye Xuan showed no fear in the face of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master's killing intent. Instead, his words were filled with mockery, as though he wasn't afraid that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Master would kill him.
Silence. Silence. A deathly silence.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Master stared at Ye Xuan. His Heaven-Devouring Demonic Light rippled with terrifying intensity. With a single glance, he wouldn't even need to do anything to kill Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan would die in front of him and become food for him.
