416: Nine steps like a roadside path

Several powerful auras descended onto the field, surrounding Fang Bai directly!

What was shocking was that none of their auras were weaker than the late stage of the Ninth Rank!

There were a full six of them!

These six Moon Demons locked onto Fang Bai immediately!

Fang Bai fell silent.

It's over!

If they attacked together, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.

That Moon Demon said with a half-smile, "Human, what do you think?"

Fang Bai spread his hands. "You have more people, so you win."

The surrounding Moon Demons also sized up Fang Bai curiously; they were also very intrigued by humans.

Furthermore, they didn't expect this low-level civilization to have such a powerful individual.

It seemed human civilization was indeed not weak.

The Moon Demon then spoke, "Human, I can choose not to kill you, but you must do something for us."

"Hm?"

Fang Bai was a bit surprised and asked, "What is it?"

The Moon Demon said, "Tell me first, do you agree or not?"

Fang Bai pondered for a moment and then said, "What if I say I don't agree?"

The Moon Demon grinned. "Then I'll have no choice but to kill you."

Fang Bai: "..."

After a moment of silence, Fang Bai asked, "Tell me."

The Moon Demon said indifferently, "Follow me."

With that, it turned and left.

Fang Bai glanced at the other Moon Demons and followed.

The other Moon Demons followed closely behind, surrounding Fang Bai; if he made any unusual moves, they would strike immediately!

On the way, the Moon Demon said slowly, "I didn't expect your human race to be so tenacious."

Fang Bai frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know where the Demon Race comes from?"

The Moon Demon asked instead of answering.

Fang Bai nodded. "I naturally know a bit. They come from beyond this realm and call themselves a second-level civilization."

The Moon Demon nodded slightly. "Correct, they indeed come from a second-level civilization. Logically, if a second-level civilization attacks a Level One Civilization, it should be a total sweep. However, over hundreds of years, you humans have only grown stronger..."

Fang Bai asked in surprise, "Why do you know our history so well?"

The Moon Demon laughed. "Because we descended upon this civilization hundreds of years ago as well!"

Hearing this, Fang Bai was shocked.

The Moon Demon said slowly, "We also come from a second-level civilization, known as the Moon Demon Clan. We use the power of devouring time as our cultivation method. I am Day King, one of the four kings of the Moon Demon Clan."

Fang Bai was a bit surprised that the other party would introduce himself, so he took the opportunity to ask, "How is your strength compared to the Demon Race?"

Day King said indifferently, "Stronger!"

It glanced at Fang Bai and said calmly, "My clan and the Demon Race are both second-level civilizations, and our strengths are actually similar. However, for hundreds of years, the Demon Race's invasion of humans resulted in their own depletion. Their patriarch, the Demon Ancestor, even perished, causing the Demon Race's strength to plummet..."

Fang Bai's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying that the patriarch of your Moon Demon Clan is still alive?"

Day King nodded slightly. "Alive."

Fang Bai fell silent.

Damn! This is a bit like bullying!

A clan patriarch's strength would normally be terrifying, at least at the Tenth Rank!

Tenth Rank!

This realm is enough to sweep across Blue Star!

Suddenly, Fang Bai thought of something and asked, "Since your patriarch is overseeing things, why don't you just emerge and crush everything?"

Day King paused and then shook his head. "If the patriarch could take action, we wouldn't have to shrink back in this place."

"He... encountered some problems."

Hearing this, Fang Bai was actually surprised.

He then thought of something and suddenly asked, "So you're not killing me because you want me to solve some problems?"

Day King glanced at him and praised, "Smart."

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Then you've overestimated me. Your strength is greater than mine, and you're proficient in the path of time. If even you have no way, what can I do?"

Day King shook his head. "No, you can."

His voice was firm, as if certain that Fang Bai could do it.

Fang Bai's gaze was a bit strange. Damn, he wouldn't be sacrificed as an offering to summon that Moon Demon Ancestor, would he?

Fang Bai had already prepared for the worst; if it really didn't work, he would use every means possible to escape.

He just didn't know if Old Man Wan could block a patriarch of a second-level civilization.

Thinking of this, Fang Bai suddenly asked, "How many races are there in your second-level civilization?"

Day King glanced at him and then said, "I don't know."

"You don't know?"

Fang Bai was stunned and asked, "What level is your Moon Demon Clan in a second-level civilization?"

Day King thought for a bit and then said, "Mid-tier, I suppose."

Fang Bai: "..."

Holy crap?

You're a peak Ninth Rank, one of the four kings, and there's a Tenth Rank above you. Such strength is only mid-tier?

Fang Bai even suspected that Day King was fooling him, and the Moon Demon Clan's strength might not have reached the mid-tier... He now deeply understood why Old Man Wan didn't break through. If their civilization attracted an invasion from a second-level civilization, it would be a total disaster!

Humanity's strength would only be enough to become their slaves!

Fang Bai looked at Day King and asked, "Do you have plans to occupy this civilization?"

Day King said, "I thought about it before, but I don't think so now."

Fang Bai said in surprise, "Why?"

Day King looked around with a complex gaze and said slowly, "Because my Moon Demon Clan is already on the brink of extinction."

Fang Bai was shaken. "Who did it?"

Day King stared at Fang Bai without speaking.

The latter realized and his mouth twitched. "It couldn't be the human race, could it?"

Day King looked at him for a few seconds, said nothing, and continued walking.

Fang Bai's brain worked rapidly, imagining a grand, dramatic scene.

If it really was done by humans, then looking across human history, only one human could have done all this.

The White Emperor!

The Human Sovereign of the human race!

Fang Bai had been in contact with him; that pioneer's strength had definitely surpassed the Ninth Rank, perhaps even reaching the legendary Tenth Rank!

Only he could suppress a second-level civilization!

After all, even the Demon Ancestor was killed by him!

Fang Bai had a bit of a headache. He originally thought the Ninth Rank was very impressive, but he didn't expect a higher civilization to appear now, making the Ninth Rank seem like a little brother instantly.

Day King led Fang Bai slowly toward the depths of the Ice Island, going even deeper than when he had come last time.

Soon, Fang Bai discovered that this Ice Island held another world. As they walked, the surrounding scenery actually changed; the glaciers turned into a desolate plain, stretching as far as the eye could see!

They had arrived in another space!

Just like the Demon Realm, it was its own world!

And Fang Bai clearly felt that something seemed wrong with time here!

The timeline was chaotic!

Fang Bai looked at Day King, who said slowly, "Our clan can devour the power of time to cultivate, so it's normal for the timeline in our domain to be chaotic."

Fang Bai asked, "What's the difference between the time here and the time outside?"

Day King looked at him and said indifferently, "One year here is one month in the outside world."

Fang Bai: "..."
