390: It's normal to vent.

Two days passed quietly, and Wu Ming and Wu Yue successfully woke up.

Ever since choosing the path of pure strength, Chen Heng had not rushed to continue his Optimization, but rather focused on adapting to his current body.

He hadn't experienced such a sudden surge of power in a long time, and for a moment, he found it quite disorienting.

Chen Heng's strength was already terrifyingly immense, and with it suddenly doubling, he had to be extra careful in his daily life.

Otherwise, even breathing too hard could cause trouble.

"Master, the death zone is getting closer and closer to Heavenly Demon City. It's estimated to affect Heavenly Demon City in about half a month's time."

Hu Ling's face was full of worry. She had thought that solving the food problem would allow them to last for a long time, but she hadn't expected the death zone to spread so quickly.

Moreover, compared to its previous speed, the death zone seemed to be spreading faster and faster.

"I know." Chen Heng sat on a pure steel chair; ordinary wooden chairs could no longer withstand his weight.

Originally, he could control his weight through the Self-Transformation Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body, but the sudden surge in physical strength meant that the Self-Transformation Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body hadn't adapted yet.

"You all stay here and don't move around. I'm going to discuss something with His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

Chen Heng thought for a moment, then got up and walked out, calling Luo Shuo along with him.

"Bai Jun, you stay here and look after Wu Ming, Wu Yue, and Wu Man. I'll be back quickly."

Chen Heng instructed Bai Jun on the side before planning to leave with Luo Shuo.

"Also, Hu Ling, you must also pay attention to order within the city. There might be a big operation in a few days."

He had no other reason to see the Demon Emperor; it was solely to resolve the issue of the Eastern Demon Alliance's survival.

He had no good solution for the world-suppressing nail acting up; he wasn't on a research-oriented path.

It would be easy for him to dismantle the world-suppressing nail, but asking him to repair a world-suppressing nail that was about to fail was pure nonsense.

"I understand, Master." Hu Ling nodded, replying obediently.

"Can you sense where your father is?" Chen Heng turned to look at Luo Shuo beside him.

"Yes, he's not too far from us. If I fly, I can get there in a little over a day..."

"Lead the way." Chen Heng grabbed Luo Shuo by the collar and activated the engines in his legs.

With a bang, Chen Heng shot out like a cannonball, soaring into the sky.

Besides the sharp whistle of the air being torn, only Luo Shuo's screams echoed in the air.

"..." The people on the ground.

"Has Big Brother Chen's speed increased again?"

Bai Jun rubbed his chin. He always felt that some significant changes had occurred in Big Brother Chen.

Didn't he notice how careful Big Brother Chen had been these past few days, as if he had a new body?

Bai Jun was indeed right. Chen Heng's Qi and blood quality and density had both greatly improved, and as fuel, this naturally made Chen Heng's speed even faster.

Chen Heng himself also felt it. His current speed, roughly calculated, had reached over 2500 kilometers per hour.

"One-tenth of the first cosmic velocity?"

Chen Heng looked up at the sky, wondering if above the firmament of this world lay the Immortal Realm or the Universe.

However, he didn't have time to ponder such philosophical questions now; he needed to resolve the Eastern Demon Alliance's problems first... The Eastern Demon Alliance's territory was still very vast. Even with Chen Heng traveling at full speed, it took him a full hour to reach his destination.

As soon as he landed, the Twenty-Four Demon Sages surrounded him.

"Master Chen!" The Flood Dragon Demon Sage enthusiastically approached, trying his best to get close to Chen Heng.

The piece of evil Dragon meat he had eaten back then had given him too much assistance, even allowing him to touch the threshold of the Demon Emperor within a hundred years.

"I don't have time to chat with you all. Where's the Demon Emperor?"

Chen Heng tossed the Flood Dragon Demon Sage aside and asked the Twenty-Four Demon Sages.

"Your Majesty is currently in the Demon Emperor Hall."

"You wouldn't believe it, Your Majesty has been so worried these past few days."

"The entire territory of the Eastern Demon Alliance has inexplicably begun to turn into a death zone, and even Your Majesty's Golden Crow Imperial Blood cannot restore vitality to those lands."

General Feng walked over from the side and explained the recent situation to Chen Heng.

"Ever since Mr. Chen you smashed that evil Dragon last time, that sleeping sickness occasionally reappears."

"Of course, I'm not blaming you. If you hadn't killed the evil Dragon, the Eastern Demon Alliance might not have lasted until now."

General Feng suddenly felt that his words might have been ambiguous and quickly explained.

"It's fine, continue." Chen Heng frowned. Could it be that the Divine Demon Domain of the Eastern Demon Alliance was related to the world-suppressing nail underground?

"There's nothing else to say, really. We don't have any solutions. We just save whoever we can."

General Feng spread his hands. Others might not know, but he certainly had no good ideas.

"Take me to see the Demon Emperor." Chen Heng knew that talking to him was useless; only the Demon Emperor could make decisions.

Soon, Chen Heng and Luo Shuo stood before the so-called 'Demon Emperor Hall'.

"This... is the Demon Emperor Hall?" Luo Shuo looked at the small courtyard in front of him with a bewildered expression, his brain temporarily overloaded.

He never imagined that his family's originally magnificent imperial palace would turn into its current state.

What was the difference between this and a small farmhouse courtyard?

"Yes, His Majesty the Demon Emperor said there was no need for extravagance, so he just found an empty small courtyard to live in." General Feng said with a face full of admiration (only he could see it).

"Alright..." Luo Shuo actually didn't care; he wouldn't be living here anytime soon anyway.

Walking into the Demon Emperor Hall, the scene before him almost made Luo Shuo faint.

He saw the Demon Emperor with one arm around the Demon Empress, the two looking incredibly intimate.

And Aunt Hu was standing behind them, watching expressionlessly.

"Father!" Luo Shuo roared, and the Demon Emperor, startled, threw the Demon Empress out.

"Cough, Shuo'er, why are you back?" The Demon Emperor quickly covered up his embarrassment, coughing lightly as he asked.

"You're quite leisurely, still flirting when things are like this outside?"

Chen Heng wasn't surprised. An old man who had been repressed for who knows how many years, suddenly able to move freely, would certainly want to satisfy himself.

"Mr. Chen, you've come too." The Demon Emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up to greet him.

"You... have you gotten stronger again?"

The Demon Emperor scrutinized Chen Heng. He found that he could no longer see through Chen Heng at all.

In his eyes, Chen Heng was like a flawless entity; even with his Demon God's Eye, he could only see Chen Heng's outermost skin.

"Yes, I've gotten a little stronger." Chen Heng nodded, but did not sit down.

Everything in this room was made of wood; if he sat down, it would definitely turn into splinters.

Even the stone bricks beneath his feet had already cracked. It seemed he had to be more careful with his movements, otherwise, this house would collapse.
