The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 228: Chapter 202: Congratulations for the Dao Companion (Part 2)

"This... How is this possible!"

It wasn’t just the Great Demons on the Jade Platform and Jade Tower who were astonished.

Even the many Demon Kings on the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform wore looks of amazement.

The Green-backed Lizard Spirit from Peacock Mountain was no slouch in a fight.

A true Demon King could defeat him, but suppressing him in a single move was out of the question.

This Golden Lion...

The playful interest on the Red Flame Demon King’s face had long since vanished.

He watched the Golden Lion in mid-air with a solemn expression.

’To suppress one of Peacock Mountain’s Quasi-Demon Kings in a single move... based on the power it just displayed, this Golden Lion is stronger than me!’

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, the many Demon Kings now wore solemn expressions, a far cry from the curious onlookers they’d been just moments ago.

Only now did they truly see the Golden Lion before them as an equal.

"The hospitality of Peacock Mountain... truly disappoints me!"

Xu Chang’an lamented, and the Golden Lion in mid-air vanished.

Amid a flash of light, a young child with rosy lips and pearly teeth appeared.

Fair-skinned, with a slender build. He looked just like an ordinary youth from the Human Race.

Yet not a single demon present would dare mistake him for an ordinary human boy.

"A Demon King!"

To form an Inner Core and take human form!

The Golden Lion before them wasn’t a top-tier Great Demon, but a...

A true Demon King!

Xu Chang’an gripped Peacock Princess Chu Yunrou’s shoulder with one hand, holding her as easily as one might hold a baby chick, rendering her completely immobile.

However, Peacock Princess Chu Yunrou had no time to dwell on her predicament. Her stunningly beautiful face was a mask of pure shock.

’A Demon King!?’

’Back then, his cultivation was only at the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment!’

’How many years has it been, and he’s already become a Demon King!’

’Every demon called her a prodigy of immense talent, the pride of Peacock Mountain—no, the pride of the entire Red Cloud Mountain Range generation!’

’But compared to him...’

’What did that make me!?’

At this moment, the shame and humiliation of the past began to fade from Chu Yunrou’s heart.

’Adversity thwarts one’s plans, but it also stirs the heart, steels one’s resolve, and builds upon one’s weaknesses!’

Xu Chang’an used his Demon Sense to inspect the child form he had taken.

Rosy lips, pearly teeth, fair skin—the image was quite good.

’But it feels like something’s missing!’

’I made my entrance as a Golden Lion, instantly defeated the Peacock Princess, and have her in my grasp. Then I suppressed a Quasi-Demon King with a mere gesture.’

’Such imposing posture and actions!’

’And now my transformed form is just this little child!’

’It’s not intimidating enough!’

’I should at least look like a towering, muscular man with a powerful build.’

’However...’

’My true form is a Mouse Demon.’

’The form I take is bound to not be too intimidating!’

’Can’t force it, I suppose!’

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Streaks of light flashed by, and five or six figures appeared in front of Xu Chang’an.

All of them were Quasi-Demon Kings!

Someone was causing trouble at Peacock Mountain’s grand celebration.

The Demon Kings of the major powers on the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform could choose not to act and just watch the show from the side.

However, with Peacock Mountain’s reputation at stake, its own experts had to intervene.

Unfortunately, Peacock Mountain only had one true Demon King, the Peacock King.

The rest were all Quasi-Demon Kings who had formed Gray Pills!

HUM~ HUM~ HUM~

In the sky, a faint light flickered.

Ripples spread out one after another, suffused with a circulating Dao Rhyme.

This was Peacock Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array!

A Tier Three Middle Grade Comprehensive Array!

In response to Xu Chang’an’s provocation, the array had been fully activated.

’Even a Demon King who dares to cause trouble at the Peacock King’s celebration will probably end up suppressed!’

’He might have been able to escape if this were happening outside. But here within Peacock Mountain, empowered by the array, there is no escape!’

’I’ve never seen this Demon King before! What could be the reason for all this trouble!?’

’His combat power is impressive, but his cultivation aura is only at the Early-stage of Core Formation! A pity...’

"..."

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, the various Demon Kings exchanged thoughts via their Demon Sense.

The Red Flame Demon King couldn’t help but glance at the Peacock King.

The Peacock King, clad in Colorful Palace Attire with her black hair cascading over her shoulders, gazed at the scene in the sky, her thoughts unreadable.

’If the Peacock King doesn’t intervene, Peacock Mountain’s Quasi-Demon Kings can probably take this Demon King down with the help of the array. But it’ll be a tough fight! If they’re not careful, they could end up embarrassing themselves!’

The Red Flame Demon King assessed the situation.

’Suppressing a Quasi-Demon King in a single move... his combat power must be comparable to that of a veteran Demon King.’

’Now the Thundering Mountain Range has a good show to watch.’

The Sihorn Demon King sitting near the Red Flame Demon King glanced at the two Demon Kings from Thundering Mountain and Celestial Pool Cave not far away.

He noticed that while the Unihorn Demon King’s expression was normal, seemingly intrigued by the developing situation...

...the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s face was as dark as a thundercloud.

’What’s going on?’

A trace of doubt flashed through the mind of the Sihorn Demon King from Red Cloud Mountain.

’I’m not that familiar with the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King, but I’ve encountered him before.’

’Peak of Mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, an exceptional bloodline, and a physique that lets him clash head-on with top-tier Demon Kings for a short time!’

’He’s one of the most formidable among the veteran Demon Kings.’

’In terms of combat power, he’s far stronger than me! Even the Yellow Wind Demon King of Red Cloud Mountain is a notch below him!’

’So why...?’

The Sihorn Demon King looked at the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King, then at the young child in the center of the field, and fell into deep thought.

The Green-eyed Demon King of Lion’s Mane Cave watched the young child in the arena, a thoughtful expression on his face.

’Years ago, I bestowed a Quasi-Magical Treasure on a demon I held in high regard.’

’The Cyan-eyed Red-haired Lion! Cheng Mengying!’

’More than thirty years ago, the Cyan-eyed Red-haired Lion went to Lujiao Mountain Marketplace and was ambushed on her way back.’
