159: Conquer the demon world?

“Endless Void!”

Was Demon King banished to the Endless Void!?

After receiving Great Demon King Bai Lin's confirmation, Ye Ze's expression instantly became complicated, feeling both relieved and a little strange.

The Demon King being banished to the Endless Void could be said to be the best possible outcome.

The Endless Void is a chaotic place outside of all worlds.

It shares the same characteristics as the Eternal Abyss: unknown and dangerous!

It is said that the Endless Void is filled with unstable distorted spaces and eerie Void Creatures...

From the description of the entry [Void Creatures], it can be seen that only those with adaptability beyond all things can survive in the Endless Void!

Because just the extremely harsh environment there is enough to make most life forms unable to bear it.

Moreover, the word "Endless" in Endless Void also means that it is difficult for ordinary people to return once they go there.

But Ye Ze couldn't help but think...

"If Mantis shuttles to a void plane next time, will he run into the Demon King?"

After all, [Void Shuttle] is still a frequently used skill...

If Mantis uses it next time and encounters the Demon King in a void plane, that would be a huge problem.

At the same time, upon hearing that the Demon King had been teleported to the Endless Void, Moon Rabbit couldn't help but exclaim excitedly:

"Then, will the Demon King never return?"

"Did we kill a World Master!?"

Moon Rabbit's tone was very cheerful.

White Lin, who had just finished casting his skill and felt as if his strength had been drained, quickly leaned against a large rock and sighed:

"If it were other enemies, it's indeed very likely that they would never return."

"But the Demon King..." White Lin shook his head, "It's hard to say."

Speaking of this, he seemed to recall something, perhaps a past event etched in the history of the Spirit Demon Clan, and mused:

"The Demon King has lived for at least tens of thousands of years! His abilities and methods are unimaginable!"

"If Ye Ze hadn't provided me with ample source energy this time, I, or even the entire Spirit Demon Clan, wouldn't have been able to banish the Demon King."

Hearing this, Moon Rabbit and Shi Qing, who were beside him, all looked helpless.

A mythical World Master who has lived for tens of thousands of years might return from the Endless Void...

No one could be happy for a while.

"When the Demon King returns next time, the situation will be even more difficult."

White Lin sighed again... The exclusive skill [Dimensional Banishment] consumes a huge amount of energy, and with his old and frail body, it's uncertain whether he can succeed next time.

Moreover, banishing the Demon King to the Endless Void this time was extremely lucky; it might not be the case next time.

And to face the Demon King head-on... it would be even more difficult!

At this moment, Ye Ze's expression suddenly changed:

"Hey!"

"I remember, about half of a mythical World Master's power comes from World Power, right?"

Moon Rabbit looked at Ye Ze and nodded, "That's right."

"Take the Demon King for example, after the Demon King controls the Demon World, the Demon World's World Power becomes his to use!"

"World Power represents the power blessing of the entire world..."

"Therefore, World Masters who control World Power are often stronger than other mythical beings."

White Lin also added: "And the Demon World has been developing for tens of thousands of years, its World Power is incredibly powerful, which also makes the Demon King's strength far surpass other World Masters!"

Moon Rabbit asked curiously, "Why are you asking about this?"

Ye Ze, upon hearing this, couldn't help but cross his arms, and said with interest, "Since half of the Demon King's strength comes from the Demon World..."

"Then if we take over his Demon World while he's banished to the void..."

"We would gain the Demon World's World Power, and the Demon King would lose his World Power. As one diminishes and the other grows, wouldn't the advantage be ours?"

Upon hearing Ye Ze's suggestion, everyone was silent for a second, then simultaneously exclaimed in surprise:

"Occupy the Demon World!!?"

"I didn't mishear, did I?"

White Lin leaned on the ground and silently shook his head, muttering, "I really am old..."

Moon Rabbit stood on tiptoe, reaching out her small hand to touch Ye Ze's forehead, her expression utterly bewildered:

"You haven't been controlled by something, have you?"

Shi Qing also subtly broke out in a sweat, "Ye Ze, from what I understand..."

"Just all the Tier 8 Demons in the Demon World alone would be enough to wipe out all of us and the Spirit Demon Clan."

"What's more, besides the Demon King, there are many Tier 9 Demons in the Demon World!"

"As for treasures and divine artifacts, for the Demon World, which has existed for tens of thousands of years, they are even more unimaginable..."

By the end, Shi Qing's many words condensed into three:

"Calm down!"

Everyone present, especially the Spirit Demon Clan, knew how powerful the Demon World was, and they all earnestly advised Ye Ze.

But Ye Ze looked at the crowd around him, his expression still calm, and said:

"Then if the Demon King returns, how do you think we should deal with him?"

"Uh..." Hearing this, the people around them fell silent.

No one can guarantee a solution to this problem yet.

"Then I'll ask again." Ye Ze continued:

"Which do you think is harder: dealing with the Demon King, or attacking the Demon World without the Demon King?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent again.

Indeed, the Demon World has a profound foundation, but the Demon King, who controls the Demon World's World Power, is incredibly powerful!

Moreover, after a world loses its World Master, its overall combat power will also decrease significantly...

You can see the current situation of the Shan Hai World for details.

And if they could control the Demon World, it would be equivalent to stripping half of the Demon King's strength and adding it to their own side, which would greatly increase their chances of victory!

For a time, many people already had the answer in their hearts:

"Facing the Demon King directly is indeed unwise!"

"Speaking of which, the Demon World is indeed easier to fight..."

Everyone looked enlightened, suddenly feeling that the seemingly insane strategy proposed by Ye Ze was actually the only feasible plan!

Moon Rabbit's small mouth hung open in a daze, and after a while, she reacted and said, "I'm sorry."

"What you said makes sense!"

She bowed her head slightly, apologizing for her rashness, her two long ears drooping down her head.

Ye Ze smiled indifferently, "However, strength is indeed a major flaw."

"It's certainly not easy to conquer the Demon World..."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but the difficulty of conquering the Demon World was already much less than directly facing the Demon King in his prime!

Ye Ze himself was also looking forward to seeing the Demon King's expression when he returned if Demon Dragon occupied the Demon World; it would surely be very entertaining.

However, conquering the Demon World, this plan, in fact, can no longer be described as bold...

It's simply insane!

"Before that, let's deal with the remaining Demon Army remnants first."

Ye Ze looked at the remaining Demon Army in the Star Spirit World, and Demon Prince Sass.

In fact, there was no need for more countermeasures.

The moment they saw the Demon King's aura disappear, all the Demons almost went crazy and collapsed...

It was even more despairing for them than when Panda's strength advanced to mythical level!

Especially Demon Prince Sass, who stared intently at the sky, unable to accept this fact:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"My father is invincible!"

"How could he have disappeared!?"

Sass's face, which had been extremely excited due to the Demon King's arrival, now revealed an inexpressible terror.

Including the thousands of Demon Army, their morale instantly plummeted to its lowest point.

The Demon King, in the hearts of all the Demon Race, was an almost invincible existence... it had been so for tens of thousands of years!

But now, he had suffered a heavy blow!

The Demons in the army didn't know he had been banished, but just the disappearance of the Demon King's aura was enough to make them collapse.

As a result, the Demon Suppression Army and the Spirit Demon Clan forces alone quickly surrounded and annihilated the Demon Army!

"Hold on! You must hold on!"

Demon Prince Sass roared.

But he himself, protected by several Demon Guardians, quickly fled towards the Demon World's teleportation portal.

"As long as I return to the Demon World, these Human Race and Spirit Demon Clan won't be able to stir up any trouble!"

"Wait, if my father disappears, and I return to the Demon World, will I directly become the King...?"

Demon Prince Sass suddenly began to fantasize.

This fantasy even made him, who was originally a bit fearful, look somewhat excited!

"Demon King Sass!?"

But before he could fantasize any longer, accompanied by a dragon's roar, Demon Dragon descended from the sky.

Like a meteor striking the ground, it created a wave of air that swept around Sass's escape route.

"Running?"

Demon Dragon Simon snorted coldly.

Sass's expression instantly turned to terror again, "Simon—!"

"Why can't you just let me go!?"

"Heh." Demon Dragon scoffed, his mighty voice deep and resonant:

"So long no see, you're still that idiot, not changed at all."

With that, wisps of black qi gathered as Demon Dragon's chest heaved, and destructive black flames condensed in his dragon maw, instantly spewing forth!

Whoosh—

The surging black flames, like a tidal wave, swept towards Sass and the four Demon Guardians.

Seeing this, the four Demon Guardians quickly stepped forward to shield Sass.

Unfortunately, Sass's original six Tier 7 Demon Guardians had all perished in the arena of contention...

The four Demon Guardians who replaced them were only Tier 6.

Under a monstrous burst of demonic flames from Demon Dragon, they were instantly corroded to severe injuries, and then Demon Dragon's [Thunder Body] condensed, and his dragon claws struck out one after another.

In Sass's reflected pupils, the black dragon claws descended like an overwhelming force.

With his guardians severely injured, Sass, being only around Tier 3 in strength, had nowhere to hide.

Boom—!

As the dragon claws fell, the ground cracked like a spiderweb, and black demonic blood flowed from the cracks.

"[Killed Demon Guardian*4, gained experience +600000 (+200%)!]"

"[Killed Sass, gained experience +3000 (+200%)!]"

"[Destiny Treasure Affinity - Automatically acquired loot: Demon Heart Amulet, Demonic Soul Cloak, Hellfire Bracers...]"

The kill notification popped up in front of Ye Ze.

It has to be said that although Demon Prince Sass gave an appallingly low amount of experience, his equipment quality was the best among all Demons.

With this portion of equipment added, another set of equipment could be crafted.

Ye Ze sent out his other summoned beasts, and then used the last tiny bit of sweet dew water from the jade purification bottle to revive Mantis...

"Let's deal with the Demon Race as soon as possible."

The Star Spirit World can now be said to have officially concluded, with the Celestial God Race and Barbarian Race both severely weakened.

Foreign races below Tier 8 probably wouldn't dare to contend in the Star Spirit World again.

After clearing out the remaining Demons, the Star Spirit World could truly be said to be taken by Ye Ze!

However, Ye Ze currently had no clue how to control World Power.

"Great Demon King Bai Lin, Moon Rabbit, if your Spirit Demon Clan wishes to live in the Star Spirit World, it's perfectly fine..."

"If you wish to return to the Shan Hai World, you can wait a while longer. I will find a way to help you clear the Pollution Land!"

Ye Ze looked at White Lin and Moon Rabbit, making the promise proactively.

Moon Rabbit was so surprised and delighted that she almost cheered, and White Lin was also filled with emotion and shock, saying:

"Really?"

"You really have a way to clear the Pollution Land of the Shan Hai World!?"

The Shan Hai World was, after all, the homeland of the Spirit Demon Clan. If there was hope, who would want to abandon their homeland!

Ye Ze nodded affirmatively... Theoretically, with the jade purification bottle's ability to purify all things, purifying the Pollution Land would be no problem at all!

But unfortunately, in order to replenish White Lin's source energy to defend against the Demon King, the sweet dew water in the jade purification bottle had once again dried up.

Ye Ze still needed to find some more origin fragments, or other effective methods to restore source energy.

Only with enough sweet dew water could the polluted Shan Hai World be purified.

However, Ye Ze also had a request:

"I heard that your Shan Hai World has a world tree crown, is that right?"

The world tree crown, which could increase experience by a percentage, was a treasure Ye Ze had longed for. Ever since he heard about it from the Treasure-seeking Rat, he had always had ideas about it.

"Yes!"

White Lin and Moon Rabbit were not at all evasive... If Ye Ze could purify the Shan Hai World, he would be saving the homeland of the Spirit Demon Clan!

Compared to such a great kindness, a world tree crown was truly nothing!

"The Shan Hai World does indeed have a world tree crown, and also a World Tree, but..."

Speaking of this, White Lin's tone carried some apology, "They have long been contaminated by the aura of the Abyss."

Contaminated?

This was really no problem for Ye Ze!

As long as he had enough source energy and sweet dew water, Ye Ze even wanted to purify the Abyss!

Ye Ze smiled, "That's not a problem. Once I'm prepared, I'll naturally have the ability to purify all of it!"

White Lin and Moon Rabbit exchanged glances, feeling incredibly excited and immensely grateful for having hitched their wagon to Ye Ze!

Moon Rabbit looked excited, patted her chest and said, "Good! If you need anything, just say the word!"

"As long as the Shan Hai World can be restored, I'll do whatever you ask!"

"I will never go back on my word!"

Moon Rabbit's solemn pledge made Ye Ze chuckle, "Alright, alright."

However, neither purifying the Shan Hai World nor preparing to conquer the Demon World could be rushed.

At least for now, he needed to gather more origin fragments.

Otherwise, his three divine artifacts would soon be too expensive to maintain.

The encirclement and suppression of the Demon Race finally came to an end, with the Demon Army led by Sass being completely annihilated by the Demon Suppression Army and the Spirit Demon Clan after Sass's death.

Ye Ze had White Lin and Shi Qing discuss the subsequent prevention of attacks from the Celestial God Race, Barbarian Race, and Demon Race.

It would be best to find a way to directly destroy their Star Realm City.

As for Ye Ze himself, he prepared to return to Blue Star, then enter the Pollution Land to search for origin fragments!

At the same time, Ye Ze finally had time to check the [Summoner Advanced Skills] rewarded by the advancement quest...
