Chapter 761 - 750: I Am a God, Not a Demon

It seemed unavoidable now.

The Rain Master trembled with fear, tearfully clutching the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, her voice quivering:

"Sister, I don’t want to die."

The matter of Ding Ling killing the Demon Emperor.

The Rain Master was the first to sense it.

Because the Demon Palace and the Demon Emperor Palace were closely connected.

As the master of the Northern Demon Palace, she naturally knew most clearly about the situation in the Demon Emperor Palace’s territory.

Although she couldn’t fully sense the condition of the Demon Emperor, she could clearly feel that the connection between her and the Demon Emperor Palace had been severed.

After that.

She saw Ding Ling rush out of the Demon Emperor Mountain Range, stepping on the void, his eyes blazing as he scanned the surroundings, hunting the experts of the Demon Realm! Yet, the Demon Emperor was nowhere to be seen.

There was only one conclusion:

That the Demon Emperor Poxun had been killed by Ding Ling!

"Who wants to die?"

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady sighed, her beautiful eyes full of shock:

"The mighty Demon Emperor Poxun, an unrivaled being with four lives! How did he die?"

"Exactly."

The Rain Master’s enchanting face was etched with panic:

"Even the combined might of top experts from the Celestial Realm, Demon Realm, Divine Realm, and the Human Realm lost to Poxun. How did Ding Ling kill Poxun all by himself?!"

"It is indeed perplexing to think about. Although the Celestial Realm and others joined forces to suppress Poxun in this tiny space of the Demon Emperor Palace, preventing him from leaving, one could say that the Celestial Realm won. But in essence, it was Poxun who won because he was unharmed. Meanwhile, the Celestial Realm, Demon Realm, Human Realm, and other realms became shattered and their status fell several levels!"

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady was bewildered, confused:

"Until now, only the Celestial Realm, Demon Realm, and Divine Realm can host a Supreme Venerable Level being! And their existence is unique, bound to certain special divine objects of their respective worlds. Without this binding, they cannot reach such a Supreme Realm!

Meaning, Ding Ling likely defeated Poxun, who was at the Primordial Spirit Realm with four lives, while still at the Golden Core Stage."

"This is unbelievable."

The Rain Master was shockingly timid:

"How much of a prodigy and monster must Ding Ling be to succeed in reverse ascension to such a degree?!"

"He is indeed a terrifying human."

The eyes of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady flashed with a deep-seated fear:

"If he were born in the Ancient Era, he would definitely have become a Sovereign at the Primordial Spirit level. We..."

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady didn’t finish her sentence, as the Rain Master suddenly tugged on her sleeve, pointing to the Lower Realm, her beautiful eyes tearing up, trembling uncontrollably:

"Sister, he, he, he’s coming."

Boom!

Ding Ling indeed noticed the commotion above the Nine Heavens, then without hesitation, he threw a punch.

Divine Emperor Fist!

Heaven-Scorching Earth-Burning!

This punch unleashed an extremely fierce flame of pure, righteous energy, turning into blazing fire, shooting straight up the sky like a meteor, scorching and piercing through all demon energy and clouds in its path.

This aggressive and blazing fist was the nemesis of demon energy.

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady and the Rain Master, always cautious of Ding Ling, quickly dodged sideways when they saw him throw a punch, but even so, they couldn’t help crying out miserably when they were brushed by the aftershocks of the punch, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, unable to maintain their cloud-and-rain state, plummeting from the high sky.

Still in mid-air, they saw Ding Ling preparing to punch them again, and both were frightened to death.

The Rain Master directly knelt in the void, bowing to Ding Ling, shouting loudly:

"Human Emperor, spare my life, Human Emperor, spare my life, I am the Rain Master of the Divine Race, I am willing to surrender!"

Her whole body was shrouded in shifting mist and rain.

Her presence was divine, demonic, and saintly, truly a demoness among demons, seductive and stunning to the extreme.

Her kneeling caused endless rain to pour from the Demon Realm.

It was the source within her acting up, being the Rain Master, with rain following wherever she went, which was the norm.

Her whole being seemed made of water. As she knelt and cried, it was as if the whole sky wept with her, with rain furiously pouring down, except the area around the Rain Master, which was the same as usual elsewhere.

This anomaly naturally caught the attention of the Female Drought Demon and the Great Sun Buddha.

After seeing clearly the Rain Master and the Nine Heavens Profound Lady kneeling in the void, their expressions were extremely subtle.

"Humph."

Ding Ling, with a heart of stone, was unmoved, ready to throw another punch to obliterate the two demonesses. The Rain Master and the Nine Heavens Profound Lady were terrified, and the Rain Master wept more intensely:

"Human Emperor, spare my life..."

Seeing Ding Ling’s expressionless face, the Rain Master instinctively looked to the side and saw the Female Drought Demon and the Great Sun Buddha rushing over. She cried out as if finding her savior:

"Sister Female Drought Demon, save me!"

The Rain Master’s call to the Female Drought Demon as "sister" resonated deeply within the Female Drought Demon, making her reminisce about their past friendship, and with a long sigh, she dashed in an instant to stand before Ding Ling, speaking gently:

"Ding Ling, perhaps you shouldn’t kill them."

"Why?"

Ding Ling was puzzled:

"They are demons."

"But they are also gods."

"Female Drought Demon, didn’t you say that when the Divine Race falls to demonification, they are beyond salvation?"

Ding Ling was even more confused.

"There is salvation, there is!"

The Rain Master’s ears had been attentively listening to Ding Ling and the Female Drought Demon’s conversation. Upon hearing this, without waiting for the Female Drought Demon to speak, she interjected:

"My obsession is merely to survive different from others in the Divine Race. So I am salvable."

"Indeed."

The Female Drought Demon added:

"If there are no other demonic thoughts or desires, only the obsession to survive, then it’s easier to resolve the demon within her heart. Especially now that Poxun, the root of all demons, has perished, this world is no longer the source of demon energy. As long as the Rain Master diligently practices the Buddhist technique, nurturing herself with Buddha Qi, over time, the demonic energy within her will be purged, restoring her to the Divine Race."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Rain Master nodded vigorously:

"I am a god, not a demon!"

"Alright."

Ding Ling, upon hearing the Female Drought Demon’s words and seeing the Rain Master trembling with fear and tearful, couldn’t help but use his observing people skill, which was full level, to see that the Rain Master wasn’t pretending.

He found it strangely fascinating.

The Rain Master was actually a woman, and such a cowardly, frightened, and clever woman at that.

It seemed that habits are hard to change, and the Rain Master’s cowardly nature must be innate, so it’s understandable that under the fear of death, she was tainted by demon energy and became a demon.

Fortunately, Golden Core Stage demons still retain their intelligence, and after Poxun, the ’root of all demons’, died, the other demons are like rootless water, with a slight hope of recovery.

Demons below the Golden Core Realm are completely insane, lacking any intelligence, and thus have no hope of salvation.

"What about her?"

Ding Ling pointed at the Nine Heavens Profound Lady.
