Chapter 575: Battle

Eunala lied in Cech Flet’s arms comfortably as she looked at the others in the carriage. Although her sister already told her about them, it was her first time seeing them. Although the way they talked to each other was filled with provocation, she was still able to sense the care and the friendship hidden in their words.

After thinking for a while, she said with a bright smile on her face, “Just like a normal family.”

“Eh! I’m planning to ask my demon girl as well,” Duren Burg said with a serious expression. “I will go talk to her before we leave.”

“What if she doesn’t agree?” Fanta Kunge asked.

“Huh…” Duren Burg curled his lips and said, “I want to say that I will kill her to protect our secret, but I don’t think I can do that. If it gets to that situation… Cech, you’re going to have to help me…”

“Ok, we can discuss this matter later,” Lucifer Lucy said as she looked at Cech Flet. “You two have to separate a little. We are at the Royal Palace now, it is time to get out of the carriage.”

Eunala got out of Cech Flet’s arms and she started to blush.

Lucifer Lucy rolled her eyes and said, “You finally thought of blushing? What were you doing earlier? When you two are devouring each other, how did you make us feel?” Eunala lowered her head even more.

Since Cech Felt was being teased by Duren Burg and felt thankful towards Lucifer Lucy for bringing Eunala to him, he didn’t stand up and “protect” his demon girl.

After the door on the carriage opened, all the guards of the Royal Palace looked at Qian Jin with curiosity and respect.

“He is Master Feijing! The most famous demon right now!” they thought.

The buildings inside the Royal Palace of the Lucifer Empire were different from the buildings in Zence. Almost every building had two “horn” like objects on their sides that looked like the two horns on the heads of many demons. Although none of the buildings were made from gold or silver, they did bring a lot of pressure.

Although Qian Jin hadn’t seen the Demon King yet, he was able to sense the prestige and the majesty of the Demon King.

When Qian Jin was looking at the buildings, Zence Matten was looking around casually, Cech Flet didn’t say anything, Duren Burg was still joking around with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and Fanta Kunge was quietly observing the surroundings as if he was a general and was thinking about how to conquer this place.

After getting through layers upon layers of walls, Qian Jin and his crew finally arrived at a huge circular building; its shape looked like a huge egg as the two ends of the building were pointy and the middle was round. It looked like the death arenas in the Zence Empire where warriors would battle with each other to earn money and fame.

Qian Jin never liked these types of places. In his mind, a warrior should never try to entertain others and warriors should at least have their dignity. Even if they were so poor that they had to rob others, they shouldn’t act like a clown and trade blood and honor for wealthy merchants.

“Princess Lucifer Lucy is here with her retinue.”

A warrior outside the building announced as the gate to the building opened. Qian Jin took a look inside and saw a huge circular platform.

This platform was made from many black spherical stones and the surface of this platform was stained with blood; it had a cruel aura around it.

“Black Diamond?” Qian Jin’s eyelid twitched a little. This type of stone was very rare; they were tougher than metal!

When Qian Jin had meetings with the leaders and elders from various Demon Clans, he had asked them if they had Black Diamonds. However, all of them shook their heads and said that they never tried to gather Black Diamonds and that they were hard to mine and were useless in many books.

“Black Diamond, the hardest stone out there! It could be used to create a Saint Item… could be used in Magic Conductors, Items, and Mystic Potions…”

All kinds of information that was relevant to Black Diamond flashed in Qian Jin’s head; many people and demons thought it was useless, but it could actually be used in many fields.

Qian Jin remembered Uncle Blake telling him that Black Diamond was a treasure that could be used by warriors and mages to increase their power. There was a ton of Black Diamonds in Endless World, but they were guarded by thousands of Demon Beast Chimeras.

Qian Jin suspected that even Qian Zhanxuan couldn’t handle thousands of Chimeras at once. After all, Chimeras were mythical creatures that only existed in legends! No one had ever seen a Chimera on this continent.

In the middle of that huge platform, princes, leaders of other demon clans, and high-level demon officials stood on the two sides of a demon.

This demon had broad shoulders, a slender waist, and sharp eyebrows. Every time he moved, he brought along an indescribable power. He had a gentle smile on his face, but everyone was able to sense pride from it.

This demon was wearing an ordinary green warrior suit, but he was also wearing a golden purple crown! Saint Item – Emperor’s Crown!

Without needing an introduction, Qian Jin knew that this demon was the most powerful entity on this continent, the current Demon King, Lucifer His Majesty!

Lucifer! Every time a new emperor took the throne, he or she would take out their first name and keep their surname; they only used one name!

“Father,” Lucifer Lucy walked up and kneeled down as he said, “It is great to see you again!”

Qian Jin who was behind Lucifer Lucy sensed the stares from the surroundings; he was familiar with a few stares. For example, the two leaders of the Mamen Clan were looking at him with a friendly smile. As soon as they knew that Jiliu Feijing was participating in this competition, they were thinking of ways to cheer him on and didn’t just send an elder.

Lucifer Zhengshi didn’t hide his hostility towards Qian Jin. The conflict between them was known to everyone; if he was still hiding his hostility, even the Demon King wouldn’t value him. After all, a demon who didn’t dare to express his or her feelings wasn’t capable of a bright future.

Lucifer was observing Qian Jin with a bit of surprise in his eyes. “This young demon is very nervous, but he isn’t scared,” he thought.

“Kneel? Or no kneel?”

Qian Jin instantly made the decision; he would only kneel in front of his parents, his masters, and the stars. Anyone else wasn’t worthy enough.

“No kneeling?” Lucifer was surprised more as a playful smile appeared on his face. “This young demon is telling me that he won’t kneel with his eyes,” he thought. “If anyone did this, all the demons around here would jump out and break his legs. But now, no one did that. Looks like his abilities are mightier than I thought! It is hard for these high-level demons to form a consensus and act gently.”

The demons never cared about kneeling.

Compared with the Zence Empire, the demons didn’t place much emphasis on kneeling. Only the Royal Demons cared about it, but that was minimal.

All the leaders of the Demon Clans didn’t need to kneel down in front of the Demon King; they only needed to bow and pay the respect that way.

“You are Jiliu Feijing?” Lucifer raised his hand and said, “Come closer, I have heard a lot about you.”

This casual action relieved a lot of demons. Although the demons didn’t believe in kneeling down to pay respect, kneeling down in front of the Demon King when meeting him for the first time as almost mandatory; it was fortunate that the Demon King didn’t mind it this time.

“Not bad, not bad at all,” Lucifer smiled at Qian Jin and said, “Young demon, do you know what I admire the most about you?”

Qian Jin was a little stunned. Before he could reply, Lucifer continued, “I hate the Zence Empire, and I hate their useless rules and etiquettes! Kneeling down? Would demons and people truly worship you and admit defeat by kneeling down in front of you? You would only temporally conquer their knees, and you would only plant a seed of hate in their hearts!”

“Your Majesty is right!”

“Your Majesty is truly intelligent!”

“Your knowledge is as broad as the universe, Your Majesty!”

All the demons in the area cheered.

Zence Matten nodded and thought, “This Demon King isn’t a dumb warrior who could only fight. He is capable of such insights and he is able to let his subordinates to interrupt him during the speech.”

“And such an empire wants to conquer us? They want us to kneel in front of them? Is that possible? Would you guys agree? Would you guys be willing to let your loved ones kneel in front of the humans?”

“No! Never!”

All the demons in the building shouted in unison as anger and murderous spirits appeared.

Zence Matten zapped his mouth and thought, “Although some of the demons are only acting, most of the demons here are provoked by the Demon King’s words.”

“Young demon, we demons value strength the most,” Lucifer pointed at Qian Jin and said, “You have control over multiple Central Unions and are capable of great things. Therefore, you are qualified to not kneel in front of me!”

Zence Matten had to pay attention to the Demon King again. “Even though the demons are keen on kneeling, not having one of his loyal subjects kneel in front of him voluntarily isn’t something that he should be proud of. However, this Demon King is able to put away his ego and state the truth.”
