The seed of heavenly demon origin cultivated by oneself is naturally one’s private property; all heavenly demons agree with this viewpoint. For the Heavenly Demon Clan, this is simply a natural law.
“Oh, I understand now,” Law Sovereign smiled and said, “It’s truly an honor to help you, senior.” In his heart, he cursed, "Damn it! You dare to extract my origin to heal yourself! You outlandish fool! My ancestors are all female!"
“Hmm, it is as it should be,” the heavenly demon’s few words nearly made Law Sovereign explode with anger, but of course, he would not show any expression on his face. Even higher-level heavenly demons cannot compare to human hypocrites when it comes to concealing their true nature.
Meanwhile, another thought rose in Law Sovereign’s mind: He can extract my heavenly demon origin to strengthen himself? Then… can I also extract his heavenly demon origin for my own use? It should be possible!
If I could absorb all of this guy’s heavenly demon origin… then, how powerful would I become?
Various thoughts flashed through Law Sovereign’s mind like lightning.
“The most urgent matter now is to gather some divine soul power from those above supreme cultivation level… to compensate for our losses…” When the heavenly demon said the word “stronger,” there was a clear hint of disdain.
When did I, a great heavenly demon, begin referring to the so-called ‘supreme’ martial artists here as ‘stronger’? Stronger? Do they even deserve that title? They’re just slightly stronger ants!
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, he ordered, “Come here, I’ll teach you how to absorb divine soul power. Go out and kill people, then absorb their souls for my use, strengthen your own power, and heal my injuries…”
Law Sovereign’s gaze flickered, and he said, “Alright! I’ll make sure to kill to your satisfaction, senior. It’s no problem to kill a few people for you; there’s no shortage of them on this continent.”
The heavenly demon smiled with satisfaction and said, “You’re quite obedient. As long as you listen to me, there will always be benefits… Hmm, pay close attention.”
The heavenly demon had no doubts about Law Sovereign’s intentions; after all, he had birthed his heavenly demon origin, which was an immense favor in the Heavenly Demon Clan!
According to the heavenly demon’s creed, whatever he asked him to do was a matter of course. The Heavenly Demon Clan had been passing down this way for millions of years, so there was no need for excessive worry.
But he was completely unaware that the being he faced was not a true heavenly demon but a human from Nine Heavens, and moreover, a powerful figure used to giving orders.
Most importantly, this human was a notorious heroic overlord known for betrayal, a super-intelligent person with a mind so sharp it was almost demonic.
After listening to the heavenly demon’s teachings, Law Sovereign pondered for a moment and felt something was off. Cautiously, he said, “Senior, I’m currently very weak; I’m afraid I can’t kill any supreme experts at the moment. I need to replenish a bit before taking action…”
“Hmm, you have a point. Then I’ll teach you how to refine souls. You should kill a few people to replenish yourself; even if they’re not very strong, you can still recover some power… after all, you can’t compare to me. A drop in the bucket for me, but it’s greatly beneficial for you,” the heavenly demon said arrogantly.
“Yes,” Law Sovereign replied respectfully. In his heart, he thought: I can’t compare to you now, but once I’m fully fledged and consume you, won’t I then be able to compare? At that time, you would be nothing!
The heavenly demon had no idea that Law Sovereign was harboring such audacious thoughts. He unreservedly imparted the cultivation technique and warned, “Remember, as soon as you have the souls of supreme-level experts, bring them to me immediately. Do not consume them yourself… After I recover a bit, I’ll reward you with one out of every ten; you don’t have to be too grateful; I am quite generous.”
