The King of Black Fog

The crowd turned their heads.

The Little Martial Saint glanced at the head and, seeing that Li Changzhou was not displeased, did not intervene and allowed the other to land on the planet.

The Supreme True Demon walked up to Li Changzhou, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said, "Teng Chun is willing to follow you, through fire and water, and pledge undying loyalty!"

He muttered a series of words, and the system simply translated them into two idioms.

"Follow me?" Li Changzhou was a bit confused, "Do you know me?"

Whether it was shattering the Millstone Star with a finger or using the [Primordial Divine Tree] to slaughter all around, he hadn't exposed any traces.

"When I merged with Wei Zhong, I sensed your Qi," said the Supreme True Demon, "Your divine skills are unmatched. I am willing to follow you, to serve you, only seeking to witness true martial arts!"

Another martial arts fanatic, thought Phoenix, while glancing at the Little Martial Saint, Indra, and the Knight.

Then, she sneakily glanced at the head; Li Changzhou was probably also a martial arts enthusiast.

Li Changzhou showed some interest.

He didn't expect natives to pledge allegiance to a player.

"Do you want to leave your homeland, abandon all status, and follow me, becoming a servant on this perilous Heavenly Road?"

"I regret nothing, even in death!" The Supreme True Demon replied with a voice as solid as a rock.

The Supreme True Demon was an old man, his hair and beard tinged with white, yet his heart for martial arts had never dimmed, yearning to reach further.

Li Changzhou hesitated to accept him.

An Earth Immortal means little to him.

But in terms of status, he had to consider Bi and the Little Martial Saint, and when he clashes with the Corpse Bone Gene, he would not have the strength to protect them.

If he could have an extra Earth Immortal Level ally, their situation would undoubtedly improve.

"Witch," he looked toward Yueji, "see what he is thinking."

The Witch Yueji looked at the kneeling Supreme True Demon, her eyes emitting a moonlit radiance.

"Your Majesty," she reported, "I found only a pursuit of martial arts in his heart, no loyalty to you, nor a fear of death."

"Enough, loyalty is the least important," Li Changzhou nodded.

These words inexplicably caused unease in the useless old Daoist's heart; as a Daoist, trained in Heavenly Person induction, his sensitivity to the Heavenly Emperor's words was not random.

Perhaps, Li Changzhou does not care so much about them, the Heavenly Emperor position, or anything about the Six Great Stars. If an accident happens, would he...

The Witch looked over, and the useless old Daoist hurriedly composed his thoughts.

Li Changzhou raised a hand, and a leaf from the [Primordial Divine Tree] drilled into the Supreme True Demon's brow.

"This leaf controls your life and death, and can resolve one attack for you," Li Changzhou told the Supreme True Demon, "If you wish to leave, you can tell me at any time, and I will let you go. But as long as you stay here for one day, this leaf will stay with you for one day."

The Supreme True Demon had no objections. Being able to leave freely was a treatment he hadn't expected.

"Since you pursue martial arts, let me give you a tip: do not see the demon as a demon, and if you can break away from your current path of slaughtering and consuming essence blood, you'll have glimpsed a bit of the true Dao."

The Supreme True Demon was taken aback, recalling the feeling when he merged with Wei Zhong.

With another Supreme True Demon, the useless old Daoist volunteered to 'stand guard' together with him, allowing the Heavenly Emperor to rest.

For some reason, he felt uneasy and didn't dare stay with Li Changzhou for long.

Li Changzhou naturally had no objections, as he himself needed to refine the Millstone Heavenly Will.

Yang Qinglan continued to refine the Flesh Heavenly Will, while the others went to restore their essence, heal injuries, or cultivate.

At this moment.

"Let me refine the millstone," Turquoise Pool volunteered, "just to get familiar with the Chaos Bell."

"Miss Zhao is willing to handle the hard labor, can't wish for more," Li Changzhou chuckled as he handed the millstone to her.

Boom!

The Chaos Bell flew away from Turquoise Pool's slender waist, lifted by Chaos Qi into the air, blasting bell waves onto the millstone.

The millstone quivered, twisting as if about to change shape.

Meanwhile, Turquoise Pool spread her hands, releasing a model-like Thunder Temple.

The temple expanded with a roar, continuously channeling mountain-sized lightning from the interstellar vacuum, converting it into essence to support the consumption of the Chaos Bell.

Li Changzhou watched for a while and said, "This lightning crackles so much that you can hear it in the vacuum, you could completely dance and enter the 'Unlimited Ability' state."

"I've been to India."

"India?"

"In the daytime, I visited the pyramids, and at night, I took a cruise on the Nile River to watch Indian beauties dance after spending money."

"What do you mean? Are you bragging about your past experiences?"

"I mean, watching beauties dance requires payment."

"...You are busy."

Li Changzhou turned and teleported away, finding a constant star to continue his arduous cultivation.

So far, whether planets were consumed, the three lifeforms of the Thunder Temple, or the Millstone Star players, none posed any threat to him, yet he wouldn't grow complacent.

In the overall player activities, at least 100,000 players have obtained a Second Instinct, a Game Coin upgraded skill, and an additional S-level skill.

These are formidable opponents.

What's more, there is the system-recognized strongest player— the Corpse Bone Gene.

The Corpse Bone Gene must be stronger than him!

The universe is vast and boundless. After moving away from Millstone Star, for a long time, nothing can be seen, not a single starlight, not a ray of light, pitch-black as ink, with visibility lost even with an outstretched hand.

"...There's nothing special, a vast star system is just a small island formed by billions of constant stars, and in the universe, darkness is eternal, light is a miracle."

Bored, the useless old Daoist explained scientific knowledge to the Supreme True Demon.
