Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

A soft white light began to glow, and the Book of Life and Death opened slowly of its own accord, moving without a breeze. The foul, fresh blood staining its pages ignited, burning away bit by bit until it vanished into ash.

Then, the names of Chu Guifeng, Ma Wan, Luo An, Tao Ying, and the others appeared on its pages, one by one.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force emanated from the Book of Life and Death. With a gentle curl of its pages, it pulled everyone inside.

Shen Daoxing felt his surroundings blur into a haze as countless white lines streaked past his eyes, receding rapidly into the distance.

A moment later, when the scenery around him solidified, he found himself in a void-like space.

Shen Daoxing looked around and saw nothing but an expanse of blackness. Tiny stars, however, were scattered everywhere—in front, behind, to the left, and to the right—as if he were floating in the cosmos.

Shen Daoxing took a step, and ripples spread through the void beneath his feet, revealing an invisible floor.

"Where are we?"

"Weren’t we supposed to be out of there?"

Nearby, Chu Guifeng, Ma Wan, Luo An, and the others looked up, their faces filled with confusion.

Just as confusion swept through the group...

RUMBLE!

The entire space began to tremble without any warning.

They saw ripples spread out before them, and then, a red head as massive as a mountain slowly rose from below.

Its features were savage, like a fiend from hell. Six large eyes were set horizontally and vertically across its face, giving it a menacing look, and a pair of sharp fangs jutted out past its lips.

The massive red head tilted back slightly and opened its cavernous mouth, revealing a blood-drenched heart resting inside.

THUMP-THUMP!

THUMP-THUMP!

It was still beating violently.

"Hehehehe! Hehehehe! How many years has it been? Someone has finally come here again! Hehehehe!"

A magnetic voice suddenly rang out.

The group quickly looked around but saw no one.

The voice resounded from within each of their minds, as if it were their own inner thoughts.

"Who’s there?"

Shen Daoxing frowned.

"Hehehehe, who am I?"

The magnetic voice echoed in their minds once more. "I can be you. I can be him. I can be any one of you, but that is not important. What’s important is that you have earned the approval of the Celestial Demon. Come. Come to me, young one!"

As the mysterious voice faded, the heart in the red fiend’s mouth suddenly pulsed violently a few times.

THUMP-THUMP!

THUMP-THUMP!

Everyone looked up, now understanding that the voice in their minds was coming from that enormous heart.

"Come! Come! My young one, be brave and step forward to accept the Celestial Demon Power."

’Celestial Demon Power? So this is the Celestial Demon Power?’

Stunned, they exchanged surprised glances.

RUMBLE!

The ground shook again. Then, they saw pairs of massive red hands rise from below, stacking one on top of the other to form an upward staircase.

"Come, young one! Come before me! Accept all that I am! You will become the new Celestial Demon, the master of all living things."

The magnetic voice resounded in their minds again.

’Become the new Celestial Demon! Master of all living things!’

Chu Guifeng, Ma Wan, Luo An, and the others exchanged surprised looks. They all seemed tempted, but after a moment’s hesitation, they turned to look at Shen Daoxing.

"Young Master Yang, you should be the one to inherit this Celestial Demon Power," Ma Wan said after a brief pause.

Chu Guifeng nodded. "That’s right!"

Their journey had been fraught with peril, a brush with death at every turn. If not for Shen Daoxing, they would have all died horribly in the Red Land Demon Realm long ago. It was fair to say they had only made it out because of him.

Now that such a monumental opportunity lay before them, it naturally belonged to Shen Daoxing.

Therefore, when Ma Wan proposed it, no one objected. Even Luo An, who had been clamoring to obtain the Celestial Demon Power, had no complaints.

Shen Daoxing looked at the group and nodded without a word. He then stepped onto the staircase formed by the pairs of giant hands.

Soon, Shen Daoxing arrived beneath the enormous fiend’s head.

THUMP-THUMP!

THUMP-THUMP!

The blood-drenched heart pulsed inside the fiend’s open mouth.

"Come, young one! Yes, accept me! Accept the Celestial Demon Power, and you will become the master of this world. From this day forward, no person and no power will ever be a threat to you. You will no longer have anything to fear. You will be fearless!"

The magnetic voice once again echoed softly from the depths of Shen Daoxing’s mind.

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing had a feeling that if he just reached out and accepted this heart, he would gain unparalleled power.

He slowly extended his hand, reaching for the heart.

"Yes, just like that. Come, surrender your body and fuse with me. You will possess everything in this world. You will become the master of this world."

The magnetic voice resounded in Shen Daoxing’s mind again.

THUMP-THUMP! THUMP-THUMP!

The blood-drenched heart beat with a clear, powerful rhythm.

Shen Daoxing’s hand reached out, about to touch the heart.

But at that exact moment...

BZZZT!

Without any warning, a jet-black longsword materialized in Shen Daoxing’s hand. He raised it and brought it down in a single motion.

An arc of black light traced a graceful curve through the air.

"???"

The heart.

Before the massive, blood-drenched heart could even react, Shen Daoxing had already sliced it in two.

As the giant heart was split in half by the sword...

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

The mountain-sized fiend’s head shattered, dissolving into motes of starlight that slowly faded into the sky.

At the same time, from between the two halves of the giant heart, a single drop of blood floated up. It shimmered with an iridescent luster, emitting a soft glow.

At that moment, the Blood Dragon’s voice echoed slowly in Shen Daoxing’s mind. "Hehehe, you’re a lucky kid. That’s Venerable Essence Blood, the very essence of a Venerable Supreme’s physical power. You can use it to forge your own Venerable Body."

Shen Daoxing nodded. With a beckoning gesture, he drew it into his hand.

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

However, at this very moment, Chu Guifeng, Tao Ying, Ma Wan, and the others stood frozen not far away, staring dumbfounded at the scene. They never would have imagined that Shen Daoxing would simply cut the heart down with his sword.

This was the Celestial Demon Power, after all. Just think of all the reclusive experts from the East Continent who had died in Celestial Demon City, fighting tooth and nail for it. Back in the day, the Celestial Demon Sect had relied on this very power to dominate the entire East Continent.

Shen Daoxing glanced nonchalantly at the giant heart, now split in two, and smiled faintly.

It was true that the Celestial Demon Power was alluring. For a moment at the beginning, even Shen Daoxing had been tempted.

’But compared to a Venerable Supreme!’

’What’s a mere Celestial Demon?’
