Ye Xiwen immediately understood why the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor would lower his head at this moment. He was most likely afraid that Ye Xiwen would go berserk and slaughter the entire Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe.
In fact, he didn't even need to slaughter the entire Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe. As long as he killed all the Quasi-Emperors and Divine Kings of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe, the losses would be enough for the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe to recover for countless years. Even if the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor were to return, it would take him tens of thousands of years to make up for the losses.
If it was said that there were ways to take shortcuts to a person's strength, then every bit of strength of a race came from accumulation. There were no shortcuts, and there was no room for shortcuts, nor could there be any shortcuts.
He wanted to temporarily lower his head in exchange for the survival of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe. After all, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe was in the wrong this time. Not only did they take the initiative to provoke the humans, they even made a demand of hundreds of billions of humans. They were practically trying to kill the humans.
Unfortunately, they couldn't defeat the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe. Not only did Ye Xiwen slaughter the higher-ups of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe, the Eastern Heavenly Venerate Manor would also be furious. However, there was nothing they could say even if Ye Xiwen slaughtered the higher-ups of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe. After all, this was how things were. Not only were the humans stronger, they were also in the right. The Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe deserved to be slaughtered.
Moreover, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe had offended countless people over the years. There were many people who wished for them to die. Although they weren't afraid of one or two people, they couldn't afford to offend the anger of the masses. The Eastern Heavenly Venerate Manor and the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor understood this very well.
Right now, Ye Xiwen had become someone else's weapon. As long as they could appease Ye Xiwen's anger, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Tribe would be able to escape this calamity. After all, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor was still around. As long as this supreme existence who could step into the Heavenly Venerate Realm at any time was still around, everyone would have to respect him. After all, there were only a few people who didn't care about anything like Ye Xiwen.
Although he knew that he was used as a tool, he wasn't angry. Although he was the one who stood out once, the benefits came immediately.
If it were any other elixir, Ye Xiwen might not necessarily know about it. However, the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir was one that he knew about. The Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir was a secret elixir of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan. It was not easy to refine. Every single elixir required the slaughter of countless lives in order to refine. Every time it was refined, it would incur the wrath of the heavens and the people. After Ye Xiwen killed the Old Ancestor of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan, he had captured the Quasi-Emperor of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan and interrogated him.
According to the information provided by the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan's Quasi-emperor, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan had originally planned to take away a hundred billion humans to refine the Heaven Devouring Blood Pill.
Even so, he could only refine it. One could imagine the difficulty of refining the Heaven Devouring Blood Pill. It was not something ordinary people could imagine. However, the effects were excellent. Even eighth and ninth realm Sovereign Emperors would have miraculous effects.
It was originally meant for the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor to make a breakthrough. However, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor had taken it out for the sake of peace negotiations. This showed his sincerity.
Ye Xiwen also knew that the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor was merely stalling for time. However, he was also willing to take this poisonous bait. This was because he knew very well that killing a few Divine Kings and Quasi-Emperors of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan would not really change the situation between the two clans. The true victor would be decided between him and the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor.
The victor between the two of them would practically determine the victor between the two clans.
Currently, he was much weaker than the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor. The Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor was already about to make a breakthrough to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, while he had yet to make a breakthrough to the ninth realm.
Even if the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor failed, his strength would still be above his current level. The Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor was different from the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan's Old Ancestor at his peak. He could always display his peak battle prowess and there were no loopholes that he could exploit.
Therefore, even though he knew that this was a poisonous bait, he still had to take it. After he took away the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor's chances of making a breakthrough to the Heavenly Venerate Realm would be reduced. At the same time, his strength would also improve further. Only by doing so would there be a possibility for him to compete with the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor.
This was because he had no other choice. Moreover, there was still the so-called threat of Hierarch Sky Fire. He had suspected from the beginning that the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor did not dare to return. In fact, seeing that Ye Xiwen might slaughter the entire Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan, the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor would rather give the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Pill to Ye Xiwen for peace negotiations than personally return to kill Ye Xiwen.
It was to avoid the threat of Hierarch Sky Fire. Although he did not know what grudges there were between the two parties, since Hierarch Sky Fire had already dealt with the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan's Old Ancestor once, it was not impossible for him to deal with the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor again.
However, regardless of the grudges between the two parties, the current grudges between the two parties had created an opportunity for Ye Xiwen to catch his breath. Otherwise, with the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor and the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan's Old Ancestor joining hands, he would not be able to win even if he had cultivated the Universe Creation Palm, let alone the current situation.
Ye Xiwen could not help but ask the Star Emperor, "What about the Eastern Heavenly Honorable Residence? Are they planning to mediate the conflict between our two races with empty words?"
"Oh, the decree I received was that if you let the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan off this time, the Eastern Heavenly Honorable Residence will also protect the Human Race from being annihilated in the future!"
The Star Emperor paused for a moment and looked at Ye Xiwen awkwardly.
Ye Xiwen was expressionless. He had already understood the Star Emperor's intentions, or rather, the intentions of the Eastern Heavenly Honorable Residence. They were not optimistic about the outcome of the battle between him and the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor.
Although he had already seriously injured Emperor Tian Yi and killed the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan's Old Ancestor, these achievements were useless against the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor and would not help him win.
Even if the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor could not break through to the Heavenly Honorable Realm, he was still a super expert in the Ninth Realm. Emperor Tian Yi, who had just broken through, and the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Clan's Old Ancestor, who was seriously injured, could not be compared to him.
If the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor broke through to the Ninth Realm, there would be no suspense at all. Under such circumstances, they naturally would not be optimistic about Ye Xiwen's chances, let alone going against the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor for his sake.
An Emperor Lord was enough to cause a huge uproar, while a Heavenly Honorable Realm could turn the world upside down.
However, such a promise was enough for Ye Xiwen. No matter what, the Human Race would not be truly annihilated in the end. Even if they lost hope for a while, they would still be able to survive. To the Human Race, this might be a nirvana rebirth.
Many years ago, the ancestors of the Human Race had walked on the path of becoming the ruler of the world.
"From the looks of it, I don't have any room to refuse!" Ye Xiwen said. He knew that if he refused, he would offend the Eastern Empyrean Mansion at the same time. In the Eastern Region, this was equivalent to offending the Fortune God Dynasty and the Fortune God Capital. He would be courting death.
"I know that you are still aware of the situation. No matter how arrogant the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor is, he can't be too ruthless. Since you have said this, I will protect the Human Race even if I have to sacrifice my life!"
Said the Star Emperor. Even he did not have much hope for the outcome of the battle between Ye Xiwen and the Star Emperor. He could only say that he was doing his best to protect the Human Race.
"In any case, I still have to thank you for running around. If I am still here next time, I will treat you to a drink. How about that?" Ye Xiwen laughed, as if he did not take the threat of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor to heart.
The Star Emperor could not help but admire Ye Xiwen. Even in the face of a disaster, Ye Xiwen did not change his nature. It was indeed rare. However, what the Star Emperor did not know was that Ye Xiwen already had the flame threat of the Sky Fire Divine Lord in his body.
"Then I will leave first. As for the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir, someone will send it over later!" said the Star Emperor as he stood up.
"Please go ahead!"
After the Star Emperor left, Ye Xiwen's expression became solemn. The situation was more dangerous than he had expected. No matter how long it would take for the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor to come out, it did not seem to be enough time compared to the difference in strength between the two sides.
He had to make further breakthroughs before the battle. At the very least, he had to break through to the Ninth Realm. At that time, the situation would be completely different.
"Everyone is not optimistic about me, but so what? The Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor, the Sky Fire Divine Lord, I will kill them all!"
Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Not many days after the Star Emperor left, a person brought the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir of the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor from the Divine Capital of Fortune.
A blood-red pill floated in front of Ye Xiwen. This blood-red pill contained inexhaustible vitality. It was unknown how many living beings had been slaughtered to form this pill. However, this pill had gone through a special sacrificial refining technique. Therefore, it didn't contain the slightest bit of resentment. Therefore, it wouldn't suffer any backlash from the resentment of living beings. The refining technique was extremely perfect.
Out of caution, Ye Xiwen scanned the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir with his divine thoughts and soon discovered that something was wrong. Although it was hidden very well, and even Ye Xiwen was almost deceived, he still discovered that there was a little poison hidden in the deepest part of the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir. It was very small, but it was very shocking. Even this little bit of poison had the appearance of the ancient word 'poison'. Even an Emperor Lord would not be able to escape death if they were contaminated by a little bit.
"Child's play!"
Ye Xiwen sneered. He had long known that the Heaven Devouring Monstrous Emperor would not be so willing to hand over the Heaven Devouring Blood Elixir. Then, he used the Nanming Li Fire to burn this little bit of poison completely, leaving nothing behind.
Ye Xiwen didn't say anything after he had burned away this bit of poison. He acted as if nothing had happened, and began to undergo closed-door training. There wasn't much time left. The opening of the Path of Fortune was just around the corner, and he had to become strong enough before that.
