Chapter 1567 Chapter 1567: Soul on the line

The entire Demon Realm was surrounded by the forces of Heaven. If it was just Heaven, the Demons wouldn’t have had any problems either since they were equally matched in strength. Unfortunately, things weren’t the same this time.

Along with Heaven, even the forces of the God Beasts had joined this war. The side that had been neutral for the most part had joined with Heaven.

Many Demons who weren’t privy to much information were stunned at the sudden development. However, the Demons weren’t scared. They were known to be crazy, no matter the situation.

Seeing them surrounded, they were even more furious and eager to enter the battle. action

In the meeting hall of the Demonic Palace, the Demonic Emperor was sitting with his Generals, his expressions grim yet filled with rage.

He had just returned from the battlefield, and hadn’t expected things to develop to this point so soon. What was worse was that the Demonic Ancestor had also disappeared at this moment, nowhere to be found.

He had a feeling that this sudden development had something to do with the Demonic Ancestor. His suspicions were further proven when he heard the voice of the Heavenly Emperor, that was heard all around the Demonic Realm.

“Hand over the spirit of your Ancestor and we shall return. If you don’t, then none will be left alive, no matter what losses we have to face!”

He didn’t know where Long Chen was taken, but he was sure that the Demonic Ancestor’s body wasn’t in the boy when he died. So he could only think of this place where the soul could’ve come to.

Even he wasn’t certain if he was right, but it didn’t matter. Even if he was wrong, this was the perfect opportunity to destroy the Demons with the help of the Beast Clan.

The Demonic Emperor’s face twitched. For these people to know about the Demonic Ancestor, he could only think that it was the work of the Godly Beasts that Long Chen had fought before coming to the Demonic Realm with them. He still had no idea that it wasn’t Long Chen’s last battle with them.

“You talk as if we’ve ever been afraid of you. If it’s a war you want, a war is what you’ll get!” The Demonic Emperor spoke, his voice filled with bloodlust, increasing the morale of his people.

While the Demonic Emperor made the declaration of war, the soul of the Demonic Ancestor was connected to the Ancient Myriad Beast.

Unfortunately, despite being a Godly Beast itself, the Ancient Myriad Beast couldn’t speak or convey any words. The Demonic Ancestor couldn’t take over the body either.

To do anything, he first had to convince the Ancient Beast that was connected to Long Chen.

“I know you have intelligence! You must listen and let me control your body for a while. If not, everything will be lost!”

The Demonic Ancestor didn’t know what to do. He had promised Long Chen that he would keep his family safe. But he also wanted to keep his people safe. Unfortunately, at this moment, he couldn’t keep anything safe.

As the Demonic Ancestor desperately tried to reason with the Ancient Beast, it was all to no avail. It was as if the beast was like a child, not paying any attention to him.

“Argh! I just had to be stuck inside this dumb beast at this crucial moment!” The Demonic Ancestor couldn’t believe it.

While the Demonic Ancestor was cursing his fate, he noticed the Ancient Myriad Beast suddenly looking towards the sky, its aura flaring up as it howled.

The Demonic Ancestor could feel that the Ancient Myriad Beast was expressing some kind of happiness which made him even more furious.

“Your master is dead and you’re happy?!” The Demonic Ancestor roared in rage.

For the Heavenly Emperor and God Beasts to be here, it was certain that they were done with Long Chen. However, instead of being sad at the loss of its master, the Contracted Beast was getting happy?

“This is it. We’re all going to die! To think that after all this time, I would die stuck inside a beast!” The Demonic Ancestor thought in frustration.

Little did he know that the beast’s happiness was not for the death of their master, but rather for something else.

“If I’m going to die anyway, I would put my soul on the line to forcefully take over this body, even if I have to annihilate its soul!” The Demonic Ancestor decided to put everything on the line as he made up his mind.

“You shouldn’t do that to my pet.”

As the Demonic Ancestor was about to do it, he felt a voice coming from behind him, shocking him. He looked back, only to be shocked at the sight of the person who had appeared in the room without him even realizing.

What was even more shocking was that the person looked just like Long Chen.

“You’re alive? No… Are you Tian Shen?” he asked, wondering if Long Chen’s body was already possessed.

“Tian Shen? That little brat doesn’t have what it takes to possess my body,” Long Chen said as he sat on a chair.

The Ancient Myriad Beast changed its form, turning into a small fox that leapt onto his lap.

Long Chen patted the little beast. “I missed you as well.”

“This… Who are you?” The Demonic Ancestor asked, his expressions darkened. He felt that this guy was Long Chen, but at the same time, he felt like someone who had lived through millions of years.

“You don’t recognise me?” Long Chen asked, smiling. “Though it’s understandable as I used a completely different form in the past.”

Long Chen created a small illusion around him, taking a different form in the moment.

“You…?” Seeing the illusory form of Long Chen, the Demonic Ancestor was frozen in place, feeling a trembling in his soul.

“H-how?” he asked in disbelief.

The person before him was none other than the person who had granted him all his knowledge in the past. He was also the same person who had sealed him and the Heavenly Ancestor in the statues.
