"A trivial matter." The Chaos God Demon said proudly.
"Um... senior, may I make a request?" At this moment, Demon Li suddenly spoke up.
"Speak!"
"If we encounter that person later, I hope the senior will not kill him!" Demon Li said.
"Demon Li, you..." The Crimson Flame Demon Lord looked over in surprise, not understanding why Demon Li would make such a request.
"Oh? Why?" The Chaos God Demon suddenly became interested. "I've heard that this person seems to be your rival; why wouldn't you allow me to kill him?"
Demon Li's gaze was resolute, shining like the stars in the night sky: "Indeed, Qin Chen is my rival, but in the Myriad Divine Treasury, this person once helped me, and that is one reason.
Secondly, we both come from the lower realm, and through our battles, we have developed a considerable connection. Killing him would mean one less opponent on my path to becoming invincible.
Most importantly, I do not wish to rely on the senior's strength; I want to defeat him fair and square, to let him know who truly is the number one pride of this universe."
Demon Li's words were strong and decisive.
He wanted to defeat Qin Chen honorably, reclaiming the lost dignity he once had.
"Hahaha, good!" The Chaos God Demon laughed heartily. "No wonder you are the successor I have chosen. You can refine the eternal demon gu and rise from the dead; that's courage. You can defeat numerous enemies in the tests I set and reach the final challenge; that's strategy. You are willing to sacrifice for your loved one, unafraid of death; that's passion. You can speak up for your rival, not wanting to rely on others; that's righteousness.
To encounter someone so brave, clever, passionate, and righteous is indeed my luck. Rest assured, with me here, you will undoubtedly become the brightest star in this universe, controlling eternity and achieving the highest glory."
The Chaos God Demon laughed heartily, his demonic energy soaring.
The Crimson Flame Demon Lord also looked at Demon Li with admiration in his eyes, his gaze softening with worship.
"Truly, my Demon Li is unafraid of challenges, untempted, steadfast in heart, and upright."
The Crimson Flame Demon Lord felt an immense admiration for Demon Li; at this moment, Demon Li seemed incredibly towering, making him feel inadequate.
Hearing the praises from the Chaos God Demon and the Crimson Flame Demon Lord, Demon Li's gaze was cold, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
In fact, he had another reason he didn't mention—that even though his strength had surged dramatically, far surpassing before, and with the help of the Chaos God Demon's remnant soul born from the universe creation within this secret realm, he still had a feeling that he was not Qin Chen's match.
Although this feeling was quite vague, for some reason, a thought kept arising in his mind.
"Hmph, how is that possible? With my talent, I will definitely become a top-tier powerhouse. That Qin Chen will eventually be defeated by me."
Demon Li silently thought while continuously flying towards the Chaotic Star River.
In the endless void, Ye Xuan was also rapidly flying towards the Chaotic Star River.
As he flew, Qin Chen began to organize the numerous treasures he had obtained after slaying the Fire Phoenix Clan.
Swish! With a wave of his hand, treasures began to emerge from the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate.
A vast array of treasures hovered in mid-air, all harvested from this Myriad Divine Treasury, although most were ordinary treasures and very few were powerful Venerable Treasures.
However, he had obtained two decent treasures from the elder of the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Night Demon Earth Venerable, not to mention the treasures from Ghost Zen Earth Venerable.
"But the most important thing for me is still this Phantom Armlet!" Qin Chen murmured, and with a thought, the armlet from Ghost Zen Earth Venerable appeared in his hand.
As soon as the armlet appeared, his Heavenly Emperor Armor immediately emitted a subtle ripple, and the other Phantom Armlet he possessed also released a terrifying aura.
