CHAPTER 240: Destiny is Like a Blade
"Got it!"
The next morning, when Chen Chu arrived at Yan Ruoyi's room, he received surprising news.
At that moment, only Yan Ruoyi, Li Daoyi, Bai Yunfeng, and Chen Chu were in the living room.
As for Bai Yunfeng's assistant and adopted daughter, Xu Xiaoqi, she was not present; being an ordinary person made it inconvenient for her to know some matters.
Yan Ruoyi nodded and said, "The news from the Federation this morning stated that after your battle, the demon king avatar named Kakotorus did not completely fall."
"At that time, it exhausted its soul power, not only wanting to kill you but also attempting to escape and shake off the Human Race's surveillance."
"Furthermore, Kakotorus and Akunus were not united; both sides were on guard against each other during their cooperation, a plan that Akunus was unaware of."
"This time, being able to capture and seal a fragment of Kakotorus's soul is mainly thanks to Brudos."
"This person is the fifth heir of the Braidola Group, achieving remarkable accomplishments in genetic biology and cultivation, and he is also a very patient guy."
"To obtain 'experimental materials,' he took nearly seven years to gain the trust of the Infernal Clan, starting from his initial contact with the Cult of the Demon God."
"At that time, he was only thirteen years old."
"Over the years, Brudos sold 'useful' information to the Cult of the Demon God while acquiring a large amount of resources from the mythical world through the Infernal Clan."
"With those resources and the group's research assets, he has transformed his genetic battle body to an extreme, already stepping into the seventh level, claiming to be unrivaled at the same level."
"However, he usually walks around in a clone body, with his consciousness linked to a chip implanted in the clone's head, giving the impression that he is just an ordinary person."
"This is also why he could gain the trust of the Cult of the Demon God."
"A top heir of a major group, without any cultivation talent, who has been ostracized by his family since childhood, fits perfectly into the profile of a traitor."
"Currently, the clone of Kakotorus has been sealed and sent to the entrance of the world passage, where a king-level expert is already waiting."
"The next step is to use the soul origin to locate and lock onto its true body."
"The Infernal Clan is divided into multiple races, and their power is actually stronger than the Human Race, but internal conflicts are severe. The War Demon Clan, where Kakotorus belongs, is a sworn enemy of the Kulos Demon Clan, sometimes fighting among themselves during major battles."
"Now, with Kakotorus's soul avatar fallen, its true body is in a heavily injured state. Under such circumstances, it certainly wouldn't dare to let the 'Kulos Demon Clan's king know, nor would it dare to stay on the front lines, giving us a chance to kill its true body."
"I see." After Yan Ruoyi finished speaking, Chen Chu slowly nodded.
No wonder he felt something was off at that moment under his spiritual intuition. As a king-level existence, even in an avatar state, it was too easy for it to die.
At the same time, he did not expect the Federation's arrangements to be so extensive, with hidden hands in all aspects, just waiting for it to reveal itself.
Li Daoyi grinned and said, "With this Kakotorus demon king dealt with, the only one left is the blood god Akunus."
"A mere avatar at the early stage of the sixth level of heaven. As long as it dares to come out, either of us could easily suppress it."
The strength of these king-level souls in avatar form couldn't be enhanced, so their threat wasn't as significant as imagined.
Otherwise, the Federation would have dispatched a large number of high-level experts to sweep through the entire world, rather than sending two top geniuses to assist Yan Ruoyi in fishing.
At eleven in the morning, the bustling commercial street of Maimir was crowded with people, showing no signs of yesterday's minor "disaster."
