The qijiao mad beast had lived for many years, and in this land, it was almost the most powerful existence. This gave it an arrogant personality.
However, at this moment, it was trembling.
Standing before it was a human radiating a power so strong that it made its soul tremble.
The only kind of life capable of giving it such a feeling was one that was ninth-level!
As an eighth-level demon monster, the qijiao mad beast had the capital to be tyrannical. On the land of posthumous children, it could roam freely because it knew that there were at most a few old guys at its level who could not defeat it, and they couldn't kill it either; at most, they could only run away.
The powerful ninth-level lives were all on the Night Demon Plain, all in the Cursed Abyss.
“I particularly dislike it when someone doesn't answer my questions, and demon monsters are no exception.” The old man raised his hand, and a force emanating from it made the qijiao mad beast nearly want to prostrate itself.
It glanced at the old man again and slowly lowered its body.
The old man smiled slightly and lowered his hand, which relieved the qijiao mad beast considerably.
In a world where power is paramount, this is the rule; regardless of the life form, when it evolves to a high level, it will possess extraordinary wisdom. The Blue Secret Realm was no exception.
An eighth-level life form like the qijiao mad beast was not inferior to human wisdom in the slightest. Although it seemed to be passively lying in front of this human without any resistance, it did not feel any shame. In the consciousness of such a demon monster, dignity simply did not exist.
If it were to attack a powerful existence, that would be true foolishness.
Perhaps it would lose its freedom and even the possibility of evolving to a higher level, but compared to death, that was nothing.
Who made it unfortunate enough to be found by a person?
Perhaps it would also have a better opportunity, after all, it was following a powerful ninth-level human.
“You are very obedient, child.” The old man’s hand slowly rested on the body of the qijiao mad beast. Due to the size difference between them, the scene looked somewhat strange.
“The space here is becoming increasingly unstable. I don’t know if you can feel it, but perhaps after thousands of days of falling sand, or even hundreds of days, this place will become a void. The evidence of its past existence will be obliterated in the torrent of time.”
The old man sighed, “I’m very scared, really scared. I found a way to extend life, but I can't break free from the constraints of space. I once wanted to walk through that door left by the gods, but was ruthlessly pushed back.”
The eighth-level demon monster listened. Although it could understand human speech, it didn’t quite grasp the complex language of humans. It simply lay quietly; this was the right choice.
“All I can do is expend life, reducing the energy that this space can carry. Perhaps it can last a little longer. My children are fighting and sacrificing for this.”
The qijiao mad beast moved its body, feeling that something was amiss.
“Alas.” The old man sighed again, “Old people talk too much. What’s the use of saying this to you? You are just a beast that knows how to forage, sleep, and mate. You wouldn’t think about this space at all. Even if you are in awe of every tremor, once the tremor passes, you will forget everything.”
The qijiao mad beast let out a low growl, indicating that it was not what the old man described.
“Hehe.” The old man chuckled, “I really didn’t say anything wrong. You are just like that. So now I need to do something; let’s say I’m doing it on your behalf.”
As he spoke, a layer of black mist appeared on the old man’s hand as he touched the eighth-level demon monster, causing its body to start shaking violently.
This eighth-level demon monster was already large, and as it began to struggle with all its might, the ground around it shook.
