Protect Our Clan Leader

"It's just a few counties, give them away." The Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, resembled a prodigal son, "Right now, the most important task is to consolidate our forces and drive out the outer-world demons, only then can we set our sights on the Starry Sea. Our fights with the Immortal Dynasty over small territories are entirely worthless."

"What do you know! Driving out demons and advancing into the Starry Sea, talk about big ambitions! You're just being reckless and aimless, overestimating your reach." The Red Hell Demon Emperor glared at him, cursing under his breath, "The Spirit Canal Continent is a vital Tujing ore area, a third of the ore in our dynasty is supplied by Yan Kingdom. If Yan Kingdom disappears, we would have to trade other resources with the Immortal Dynasty for Tujing ore, and the price would be several times higher — not to mention Muyun could easily manipulate us. Someone as shameless as you might not care, but I still need to keep my old face intact!"

"Old Ancestor, let's leave this small matter aside." Shentu Jingming, overwhelmed by the nagging, quickly shifted the topic, "I actually have some great news to share this time."

"Great news?" The Red Hell Demon Emperor's expression was suspicious, his heart skipped a beat, "You haven't gotten into trouble somewhere needing me to clean up again, have you?"

Among the three princes, the third one was the most troublesome. From childhood to adulthood, he had no idea how many times he had to clean up after this third prince.

"Of course not! It's truly great news." Shentu Jingming wore a defiant expression, then he proudly showed his wrist, hinting, "Look, hasn't my bloodline talent changed?"

The Demon Emperor suspiciously probed, and his expression immediately turned to surprise and delight: "Unparalleled Grade B?"

It's important to note that once the talent of Profound Martial cultivators reaches the level of Unparalleled Heavenly Child, it's never easy to climb further.

From Unparalleled Rank D, Class C, Grade B to Grade A, the higher you go, the harder it gets.

A Sky Pride in the Purple Abode Realm, with their bloodline awakened to the seventh level, even at this state, the most a Rank 9 Dao Pill could do is elevate talent from Unparalleled Rank D to Mid Class C; attempting to elevate to Unparalleled Grade B requires an inherent talent of having Mid Class C.

And Rank 9 Dao Pill was the best dan medicine the human race could produce.

Back in the day, Shentu Jingming could only elevate his talent to Unparalleled Class C with a Rank 9 Dao Pill, and now its effect barely helps anymore.

Who would think that just by adventuring outside, this kid managed to elevate his talent to Unparalleled Grade B?

What a lucky bastard!

"Alright, alright." The Red Hell Demon Emperor turned anger into joy, "In this case, when you have an opportunity later to inherit the Bare Refinements Codex, you can elevate your bloodline talent to Unparalleled Grade A, beating that little Demon Sovereign from the Chao Clan. But let me warn you, just because you have good talent, doesn't mean you'll definitely become my successor."

"Old Ancestor, is that all the ambition you have? You need to broaden your horizons, see further." Shentu Jingming sighed.

The Red Hell Demon Emperor's facial muscles twitched as he resisted the urge to hit him, "So, teach me then, what is considered as great ambition?"

"Our Shentu Clan, doesn't have that treasure passed down from the Old Ancestor, the Red Lotus Immortal?" Shentu Jingming chuckled, "This treasure gives a huge boost to bloodlines of Red Lotus Karma Fire."

Before he finished his sentence, the Red Hell Demon Emperor exploded.

"You imbecile, that is the treasure passed down by the Old Ancestor, even I couldn't bear to use it back in the day, how dare you have designs on it?" The Red Hell Demon Emperor roared with wide eyes, "Get lost, you squanderous brat! Also, take your Immortal Tea back, it's too much for me to handle!"

"Old Ancestor, if I use the Red Lotus Immortal, there's a great chance I could break through to the Innate Taoist Body, which means I could become the Son of Heaven. Since the founding of our Demonic Dynasty, we've never had a Son of Heaven, aren't you tempted?"

"You, a Son of Heaven?" The Red Hell Demon Emperor sneered with contempt, yet felt a hint of temptation inside.

"Once I become the Son of Heaven and inherit the Red Lotus True Demon Sutra, I will start as a mid-tier Son of Heaven; reaching the mid True Devil Realm will be within sight." The Third Prince Shentu Jingming bragged with wild claims, "Meanwhile, our Imperial Household will secretly support my family Ruobing to become the master of the Real Demon Palace, then the two of us will work together, first defeating the Immortal Dynasty, then vanquishing the demons, leading the human race towards the Starry Sea! That's the ambition, Old Ancestor!"

"Not bad, my family's Qilin Kid." The Red Hell Demon Emperor's mouth twitched as he mockingly said, "The whole world seems to be under your control, truly great ambition."

"Of course, the mid True Devil Realm, just thinking about it makes me a little excited. Based on the combat power of mid Transcendent Void Realm and early stage comparison, an inferior True Devil Realm like you, Old Ancestor, will be easily overpowered!"

"Bang!"

The Red Hell Demon Emperor finally couldn't hold back, slapped the brat right out of the Haotian Palace.
