2112 The Devil King’s Futile Attempts, As Long As You’re Happy

"How's the power of my Devil's Pupil, little one?"

The Devil King's seductive voice sounded in Chu Kuangren's mind.

Although her soul was sealed, her ability to communicate with him was preserved.

Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised to hear her voice.

"Well, little one, it doesn't seem like you're familiar with my power yet. How about this? Why don't you let me out, and I'll teach you how to use this power?"

"There's no need for that," Chu Kuangren said.

That was the first time he unleashed the Devil's Pupil, so it was not surprising that he was unfamiliar with it. 

However, he believed that with his talent, it would not be difficult for him to fully master that power.

"Oh, how about this? You let me out, and I won't use your body as my host. All you need to do is to return me the Devil's Pupil, and I shall make you a Devil Archduke. From this day onward, apart from me, you will have the highest position in the Devil Tribe. How does that sound?"

"In your dreams."

"You don't seem to know what's good for you, little one. I'll have you know that there are currently only three Archdukes in the Devil Tribe."

"I said, I have no need for that."

"Hmph, just you wait. You're only trapping a fragment of my remnant soul with you. Once my true body awakes and returns, killing you will be as easy as flicking my wrist. I'm giving you a chance right now, and I suggest you appreciate it."

Seeing that Chu Kuangren was not convinced, the Devil King threatened him.

However, Chu Kuangren was not having any of that.

He merely said, "When that time comes, you might not even be a match for me."

"That's hilarious. I am the great Devil King–"

"Shut it."

Before the Devil King could finish her sentence, Lil Ai's indifferent voice appeared.

Chu Kuangren then heard a scream from the Devil King.

"F*ck! Why are you whipping me?"

"I told you to shut up," Lil Ai continued saying indifferently.

"B*stard, how dare you order me! I am the Devil King–"

"Crack!"

The crack of a whip rang out.

The Devil King screamed again.

"You… I'll…"

Chu Kuangren could not hear what the Devil King was saying clearly after that.

It was as if something was blocking him from hearing her.

"Master, I have adjusted the settings on the seal. She will not be bothering you anymore," Lil Ai said slowly.

"Oh, alright."

Chu Kuangren nodded before asking curiously. "What did you do to her?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just gave her a little education."

"Well… Um… As long as you're happy, I suppose."

Chu Kuangren shook his head helplessly.

After that, he walked out of the mountain range.

As the battle had ended, the Radiant Great Dao aura surrounding the mountain range gradually dissipated, and everyone quickly looked into the mountain range.

"Ha! It looks like Master Lang Sha has successfully killed the Child of Light." The Apocalypse Martial Society cultivator laughed.

Liu Hu's heart was almost beating out of his chest. If the Child of Light was dead, things would certainly not end up well for him.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure slowly walked out.

"I shall go and greet Master Lang Sha."

That Apocalypse Martial Society cultivator's figure flashed as he dashed toward that figure.

However, the closer he got to that figure, it became clearer who it was. When the person came into his view, his eyes widened. 

"I-It's you, the Child of Light!"

The person who walked out from the smoke and dust was not anybody else but Chu Kuangren.

It was Chu Kuangren, who everyone thought was dead!

"No, no, no. How is this possible?"

"Where's Master Lang Sha?"

The Apocalypse Martial Society cultivator could not believe it.

However, when he looked behind Chu Kuangren, he saw a bloodied figure lying in a huge pit. It was Master Lang Sha!

"Master… Master Lang Sha is dead…"

That cultivator was so shocked that he slumped to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, walked past him with a calm expression.

That cultivator was nothing to him.

The other cultivators also could not help but gasp when they saw Lang Sha's corpse lying on the ground. They looked at Chu Kuangren with faces filled with horror.

"W-What's going on?"

"How did the Child of Light kill Lang Sha? The difference between them is huge. How did he do it?"

"This is impossible."

Between the Grand Dao Life Mastery Realm and the Grand Dao Supreme God Realm was the Grand Dao Supreme Spirit Realm.

Those who saw the battle would surely say that Lang Sha's chances of winning were higher.

Moreover, everyone was looking down on Chu Kuangren earlier.

Yet, unexpectedly and remarkably, he managed to successfully kill Lang Sha when everyone had doubts about him. Besides, judging from his condition, he did not seem to have sustained any injuries.

It was a huge slap to everyone's faces.

The Radiant Church cultivators, on the other hand, were delighted.

"The Child of Light is the strongest."

"That's right. What could a mere Lang Sha do to him?"

Liu Hu breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank the heavens."

If Chu Kuangren was fine, his life would not be in danger.

In the Holy Radiant Church, the Radiant Goddess frowned while looking at Chu Kuangren, who just killed Lang Sha. "What was that strange aura just now?"

Although Chu Kuangren could hide the Devil's Pupil from everyone by using his Radiant Great Dao as a cover-up, a Monarch-class Transcendentalist like the Radiant Goddess could sense something afoot.

She could not help but ponder as she looked at Chu Kuangren in the pool of water and mumbled, "You seem to be full of secrets." 

He was only a Great Dao Life Mastery cultivator. However, from the first time she met him, even a Monarch class like her could not see through him, and it was even more so now.

…

Several black figures were heading toward the mountain range where Chu Kuangren and Lang Sha fought. They arrived very quickly.

By the time they came, Chu Kuangren had left already.

Only the Apocalypse Martial Society cultivators were left at the scene to clean up Lang Sha's corpse.

One of the cultivators who was bad-mouthing Chu Kuangren still could not believe that Chu Kuangren had killed Lang Sha.

After all, Lang Sha was one of the Apocalypse Martial Society's Ten Killer Stars!

That person was a revered cultivator amongst many members of the Apocalypse Martial Society.

However, that person was dead!

"How did you lose? How could you be dead?"

That cultivator became angrier the more he thought about it.

He looked at Lang Sha's corpse with hatred in his eyes.

He then took out his weapon and was about to vent his anger by mutilating and dismembering Lang Sha's corpse when a strand of black qi swept in from the side.

With a slash, the black qi killed the cultivator on the spot.

Several black figures arrived and surrounded Lang Sha's corpse.

They seem to be checking for something.

"This power… It's certainly Her Majesty's aura."

"Is it Her Majesty that killed this man?"

"Or perhaps, was it the host body controlled by Her Majesty that killed this man?"

"We must get to the bottom of this."

Those cultivators were from the Devil Tribe, hence their familiarity with the Devil King's power. Chu Kuangren might have succeeded in hiding it from everyone, but doing the same to them would be an extremely difficult task.

Truth be told, even Chu Kuangren did not know that the Devil Tribe cultivators were nearby.

Otherwise, he would be more cautious.

"Who the hell are you people?"

Seeing the group of cultivators appear out of the blue and start killing one of them, the other Apocalypse Martial Society cultivators were so enraged that they immediately attacked.

However, the Devil Tribe cultivators were swift. Their Devil energy erupted, eventually killing everyone, leaving only one survivor alive.

"Speak. What happened here?"

After some questioning, they finally understood the events that happened there.

"The Child of Light… Could this person be the King's host body?"
