340: Castlevania

Relying on his inherent Dragon Transformation skill and the Great Wizard's transformation spell, Lin Ye turned into an Abyssal Dragon Demon.

“Not bad, not bad. The powerful pressure formed by the combination of your Dragon's Might and demonic energy will likely reduce a lot of trouble,” War said, stroking his chin and nodding.

Demons bully the weak and fear the strong; Lin Ye transforming into such a top-tier Demon King would likely reduce a lot of trouble.

“Indeed, and in this form, I can retain a significant amount of my combat power,” Lin Ye was also very satisfied with this form.

Dragon God Claw, Affliction of Fate, and other abilities could all be used.

Dragon God Claw could be seen as exclusive to the dragon race, and Affliction of Fate could be disguised as curse power.

Curse power and Affliction of Fate are completely unrelated.

The Law of Curses is not a Heavenly Dao Law, but rather an art-like skill law evolved from various negative states, similar to the Way of the Sword, controlling negative energy to curse opponents.

Therefore, the ability of Affliction of Fate can be viewed as the Way of Curses.

“As long as you don't encounter a Demon God with strong insight, there’s basically no problem,” War said.

Demon Gods are similar to the Master level, and the Seventy-Two Demon Gods are the most top-tier existences among them.

It would be difficult for an ordinary Demon God to see through Lin Ye's disguise; only exceptionally strong ones could.

With the disguise complete, Lin Ye shrunk and hid the Nether Ship Space before exiting the Nether River.

As he traveled towards the Demon City, the surrounding scenery became increasingly eerie. Twisted branches, like the arms of demons, stretched across his path. The roar of the river was like the shriek of a ghost, making one's hair stand on end.

“If this were a movie, they wouldn't need any props,” Lin Ye muttered.

Hell indeed made one's hair stand on end; this scenery was probably not somewhere any normal Life would want to stay for long.

When he finally reached the edge of the Demon City, a huge and gloomy city gate came into view. Above the gate, the head of a demon was carved, emitting an evil light. The city was filled with an aura of decay and Death, and the buildings along the streets were like twisted nightmares.

All kinds of demons walked inside the city, bustling like a marketplace, exceptionally prosperous.

Lin Ye descended from the sky; flying was forbidden within the Demon City.

The terrifying aura of the Abyssal Dragon Demon permeated, instantly shocking the demons along the way, making their hearts tremble with fear.

“It's actually an Abyssal Dragon Demon; such demons are rare.”

“Judging by his aura, he's probably already reached the peak of the Demon King level.”

Demon King level is comparable to Stellar River Level.

A Demon King is enough to launch a War against weaker planes.

Lin Ye arrogantly walked into the city.

The two greater demons guarding the gate kept their heads very low, fearing that this one might find them displeasing and annihilate them.

As for collecting money? Whoever dared could go; they certainly didn't dare.

“Indeed, it still comes down to strength.”

In Hell, the hierarchy is even stricter; a top-tier Demon King like him would never be challenged.

Upon entering the city, many people automatically made way for him.

“War, where should we go first? I don't have any demon currency at all.”

Lower-level demons usually still used gold and silver as currency.

However, powerful demons used another kind of currency—Soul Essence.

Flesh and Soul are indispensable for demons to increase their strength.

And since flesh was inconvenient for transactions, Soul Essence, being small in volume and light in weight, became the common currency for demons.

“I told you to rob some other demons, but you wouldn't listen,” War rolled his eyes.

Didn't he just suggest that Lin Ye kill a few demons on the way to earn some essence?

“How much money do roadside demons even have?” Lin Ye complained.

Even if they were completely drained, it probably wouldn't amount to much Soul Essence.

“Every little bit adds up.”

War was clearly not a benevolent spirit; he was ruthless and dark-hearted.

Lin Ye, however, did not act rashly, as he was unfamiliar with the place, and it would be bad to provoke a higher existence.

“You're just too cautious,” War muttered.

In his opinion, why be so steady? It's just a clone.

First of all, whether they even meet one, and even if they do, is there really anyone who can defeat Lin Ye? Who in this place can defeat Lin Ye besides a Demon God?

If he really encountered a Demon God, running away was also an option.

Lin Ye's escape skills were quite remarkable.

If he couldn't escape, losing a clone wouldn't be a loss; what's a clone anyway?

Unfortunately, Lin Ye would not listen to him; the Way of Steadiness ran through everything he did.

What if he encountered a method that could strike the main body through a clone?

Among other things, there were quite a few in the Fate inheritance.

For example, Affliction of Fate could strike through a clone.

“My lord, can I help you with anything?” A succubus swayed her hips seductively and approached Lin Ye.

The surrounding demons looked at Lin Ye with envy.

“Lilian, that bitch, is always like this, fawning over every powerful demon who comes along. Damn it, why isn't it me?”

“No choice, succubi are just like that, they can only cultivate with strong individuals to improve their strength, it seems.”

“I envy succubi; I also want to cultivate with Lord Dragon Demon.”

This Lilian had decent strength, at the Lord level below Demon King.

For an ordinary Demon King, he probably wouldn't mind a one-night stand; who would refuse service that was offered?

But Lin Ye was a fake, and besides, he had no interest in the prostitutes of the Ten Thousand Demons Cavalry.

“Scram.”

Cold demonic words came out of Lin Ye's mouth.

Lilian was stunned; what kind of demon wouldn't take advantage of a good thing?

But she didn't dare to disobey and quickly moved out of the way.

“Kid, you're too wasteful; you might as well play if it's free,” War shouted.

Lin Ye had seen through War; this old monster had lived so long that he had no bottom line.

“What kind of look is that? The Great Wizard wouldn't refuse. The strongest succubus in Hell, the Succubus God, even had an affair with the Great Wizard, although that bitch has probably been with billions of people.”

The image of the Great Wizard collapsed in Lin Ye's mind.

So, this is the kind of Great Wizard you are.

No wonder the Great Wizard had no fun left by the end of his Life; he had enjoyed everything, it seems.

“How about we go to the Duel Arena first?” Lin Ye changed the subject.

Lest this guy reveal more of the Great Wizard's dark spots and completely shatter the mysterious image of the Great Wizard in Lin Ye's mind.

“Alright, you don't have much capital right now, and exchanging things from the outside world would easily expose your identity. The Duel Arena is a good place,” War nodded.

After casually grabbing a demon and asking for directions, Lin Ye headed to the Duel Arena.

This demon, who was pressed into service, was not afraid at all; instead, he was as diligent as if it were an honor.

This made Lin Ye somewhat realize the true nature of demons.

“My lord, our city is called Lulu City, it’s not very strong. An existence of your Demon King level would probably have to wait a long time for an opponent in the Duel Arena,” the Cunning Demon conscript said.

“Oh?”

Hearing Lin Ye's reply, he became even more enthusiastic.

“I suggest, my lord, if you want to enjoy the pleasure of slaughter, go to a higher-level city, Griezmann City. That's a paradise for duelists, and there are many Demon King level duels there.”

Lin Ye nodded, but the problem was that he had no money now, so how could he teleport there?

“For a big shot like you, teleportation doesn't cost anything, so it's the most cost-effective,” the Cunning Demon offered eagerly, revealing everything.
