Shen Yin Wang Zuo
chapter-776

The Demon God Emperor finally broke the silence. He lifted his right hand slowly and it landed on the arm of his throne.

It was such a simple action, but it attracted everyone’s attention immediately. The five demon gods instinctively looked at the Demon God Emperor, but what the saw were a pair of extremely deep eyes, like they were staring into the abyss. The five of them could not help but shiver as their internal fear and dread intensified.

Ah’Bao felt a completely different feeling as he stood beside the Demon God Emperor. His cultivation had basically skyrocketed in the recent years. He would basically make strides in his cultivation every year. Even he felt that he was getting closer and closer to his father’s cultivation.

But now, during the hour that the Demon God Emperor remained silent in, Ah’Bao knew he was wrong, because he suddenly felt very clearly that the disparity between him and his father was as wide as ever, like comparing a firefly to the moon.

The Demon God Emperor slowly stood up from his throne. He seemed no different than an ordinary man. He had even used his arms to push off the armrests slowly. However, as he stood up, the five demon gods below dropped to their knees almost at the same time. They said politely, “Your majesty.”

The Demon God Emperor was definitely not in the mood to treat them like brothers. Instead, he was a merciless, unmatched emperor of the demons in that moment.

“Vassago, stand up,” the demon God Emperor said calmly. With his arms behind his back, he looked at the Star Demon God as his eyes gradually lit up.

Vassago trembled instinctively, before slowly rising. His head remained lowered as he said politely, “Your majesty.”

The Demon God Emperor smiled. His smile seemed very peaceful, even slightly warm. He slowly made his way down from where the throne was.

Basically with every step he took, Vassago would tremble gently. The pressure weighed on his heart heavily.

Only when he arrived before Vassago did the Demon God Emperor stop. However, the demon prophet’s body actually trembled unconsciously.

“Have you already sensed something?” The Demon God Emperor asked with a gentle smile.

Vassago said nothing. He dared not to, because from the moment he had set foot in the main hall, he felt a hint of the aura of death. This aura came from himself. How could he not be afraid?

The Demon God Emperor said indifferently, “I just don’t know whether your prophecy is correct your not. Why don’t you guess whether you’ll be leaving here alive today or dying on the spot?”

“Your majesty.” Agares who still knelt beside Vassago paled in fright. He instinctively raised his head and called out. He was the closest to Vassago, but he had never thought that today, the Demon God Emperor’s anger would be directed towards Vassago. He could not think of what the Star Demon God had done at all, to actually make the Demon God Emperor angry for the first time in hundreds of years.

“Shut up,” the Demon God Emperor said coldly. He raised his right foot and placed it on Agares’ shoulder with lightning speed. Immediately, Agares shot off like a cannonball, slamming into the walls of the main hall with a great rumble. Large pieces of shattered rock fell down with the Moon Demon God.

The Demon God Emperor’s move made the Demon God of Death, the Hell Demon God and Bear Demon God prostrate themselves on the ground in fright. They did not even have the courage to raise their heads

They all knew that the Demon God Emperor trusted and was on the best terms wit the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God, and had always treated these two demon gods as brothers. However, something had happened today where the Demon God Emperor had actually become furious because of the Star Demon God and had immediately turned against the Moon Demon God. It had to be mentioned that the Moon Demon Clan and the Star Demon Clan possessed decisive weight among the demons. They were only second to the Demon God Emperor’s Devil Dragon Clan.

However, even when he had been sent flying by a kick, the Moon Demon God actually showed no intention of fighting back in that moment. After falling to the ground, he knelt there once again and dared not to utter another word.

“Raise your head. Look at me,” the Demon God Emperor said plainly.

Vassago raised his head slowly. There was only anguish in his eyes. He could clearly sense the killing intent from the Demon God Emperor.

He was the great prophet of the demons, but his abilities to foresee matters was completely useless against the Demon God Emperor. This was because among the demons, no one knew better besides him that the Demon God Emperor had already become an existence that surpassed everything in this realm. He had reached a completely different realm of cultivation. In the past, when the Demon God Emperor had completed his breakthrough, the Star Demon God was right by his side, guarding him. He had personally witnessed the Demon God Emperor’s impossible breakthrough and knew that the seventh Demon God Emperor was the greatest powerhouse of all of the demons’ history. If any demon clan wanted to rebel against him, it would only end up as a joke.

Looking at Vassago, the Demon God Emperor said slowly, “Vassago, I trusted you so much. I have always treated your as my right hand man. For our race, you have always done everything you could, but, did you know that as the prophet of our race, your one mistake has ruined the future of our clan?”

His voice was not loud, but orange light would flash across the Star Demon God with every word he uttered. When he reached his question at the end, red blood had actually already oozed out from Vassago’s mouth and nose. Although the Demon God Emperor did not directly touch him, the methods he used were far more terrifying than what he did to the Moon Demon God. He directly harmed his soul.

Vassago smiled bitterly, “If I’ve guessed correctly, it should be the piece of news from over a month ago. Your majesty, have you determined the veracity of it?”

The Demon God Emperor nodded. His eyes finally ceased to be calm. Coldness swept out wildly, “That’s right. He’s still alive. Tell me, why?”

“No, that’s impossible,” Vassago cried out. In that moment, he seemed to forget about the terror of the Demon God Emperor.

“Impossible? Can my eyes deceive me? Not only did he appear, he even stopped be from taking away the god of nature. He even conversed with me. What I hear might be false, but my eyes do not lie. What else do you have to say?”

Vassago sucked in a deep breath and the terror in his eyes suddenly vanished. It was replaced by a special colour, “Your majesty, I’m not wrong. My prophecies can’t be wrong. He really did die that day. I’ve sensed for his aura of life many times in the past and for this, I’ve conducted many prophecies as well. The results are all the same. It’s impossible for a prophecy directed at a single person to be wrong.”

The Demon God Emperor squinted his eyes, “Are you saying that I saw wrong and I heard wrong?”

After a moment of silence, Vassago seemed to decide on something. His eyes lit up like two resplendent stars and he said, “Please calm down, your majesty. I understand my fate. Since that’s the case, allow my to do one last thing for the demons. I am willing to sacrifice my life for one last prophecy. Whether he’s dead or alive, his body will bear the aura of when your majesty killed him. With my life as the price, I should be able to see the reason why he’s still alive.”

“You can’t. You can’t!” With a flash, the Moon Demon God arrived before the Demon God Emperor. He knelt down and begged, “Your majesty, ever since Vassago became the Star Demon God, he had done much for the race. Even if it’s not meritorious, it was still hard work. I am willing to launch a surprise attack against the temple alliance and bring Long Haochen before you, for you to handle.”

After hearing Long Haochen’s name, Ah’Bao who stood before the throne suddenly stiffened. His hollow eyes suddenly shone with purple light and sharp killing intent immediately erupted.

“You?” The Demon God Emperor snorted coldly, “Right now, it’s even difficult to say whether you’re his opponent. Alright, Vassago. I’ll give you this opportunity. You can start right now.” As he said that, he lifted his left foot and sent Agares flying once more. At the same time, a ball of purple light formed a bubble around Agares, sealing him in. Not even his voice could escape the bubble.

Looking at the Demon God Emperor who had grown calm once more, a smear of despair flashed through Vassago’s eyes. He knew that nothing else was possible anymore. Aside from the Moon Demon God, the three other demon gods continued to prostrate there without uttering a single word.

Vassago let out a miserable smile and slowly knelt before the Demon God Emperor, “Your majesty, I hope you can look after my clansmen in exchange for my sacrifice.”

Fengxiu looked at him coldly, “You can start.”

Vassago did not receive the answer he wanted. His eyes were rather blank as he stood up again. He made his way out of the hall. When he passed over the three demon gods on the ground, he paused slightly, before taking another dozen or so steps forwards and stopping.

The orange light gradually grew stronger as he walked. When he stopped, it had become extremely bright.

The Demon God Emperor waved his arm and a powerful pulse of spiritual energy swept the Demon God of Death, the Hell Demon God and the Bear Demon God aside. The three demon gods fell to one side as they remained silent.

The Moon Demon God Agares began to panic, but he was afraid of directly breaking out of the Demon God Emperor’s seal. Otherwise, the Demon God Emperor’s wrath would definitely include him as well. The Demon God Emperor could lay his hands on the Star Demon God, so it was possible that he too might…

Vassago slowly lifted his arms up beside him with his palms pointed up. They each held an orange crystal ball. Soft chanting appeared and the intense orange light on his body began to surge upwards.

The Demon God Emperor only looked at him coldly. His gaze was frigid. There was no pity at all.

Vassago’s chanting gradually went from soft to loud, while the intense orange light turned into flames.

This was a strange type of fire. Vassago’s clothes actually gradually burned and vaporised under the flames, while his body began to grow transparent and bright.
