Chapter 156: Austin Griffin
Meanwhile, in the heart of the demon clan, within the Star Demon Palace, a platform hovered in an isolated starry realm.
Surrounding it was the boundless starry sky, brimming with stellar power.
Atop the platform, the Star Demon Palace's master, the Star Demon God Vashak, was using his spiritual energy to channel the surrounding stellar power, oscillating the celestial disk formations around him, conducting some sort of deduction.
"Third brother, how's it going? Did you find it?"
Just as the Star Demon God was deducing, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu tore through the void and appeared behind Vashak.
Facing the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu's question, Vashak paused and turned to look at the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu behind him.
He saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"
Seeing the Star Demon God Vashak so respectful, Feng Xiu also slowly said, "Third brother, it's just the two of us, you don't have to be like this. How did you find Austin Griffin's whereabouts?"
"I just sensed his breath!"
"Sorry, brother, it's my incompetence. The breath appeared for too short a time and I couldn't accurately locate it."
"And the other party deliberately concealed his breath..."
"But this also shows that Austin Griffin is still in a weak period and has not fully grown up. With his current strength, it's the best time for us to strangle him in the cradle."
After hearing Vashak's words, Feng Xiu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Give the order. Once Austin Griffin is seen, he must be killed with all his strength!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Feng Xiu put his hands behind his back, looked up at the starry sky, and slowly said, "Third brother, can Lin Ze really fight against Austin Griffin?"
"Now that Austin Griffin has appeared, it is likely that in a few years, his strength will return to its peak. Although Lin Ze has reached the eighth level now, he is still only the eighth level..."
Looking at Feng Xiu with his back to him, Vashak saluted slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Ze's talent is unique even in the entire Holy Demon Continent. To be frank, his talent is probably even higher than yours."
"Higher than this emperor?"
The corners of the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was lost in some memories, and said, "When this emperor was his age, he was already at the ninth level. Tell me why you think he is better than this emperor?"
"Your Majesty, I have deduced Lin Ze countless times, but I was unable to glimpse his past, present, and future. But without exception, as long as he is involved in an event, the originally predetermined outcome can always be changed. He is an uncontrollable variable."
"In my life, there are only three people who cannot be surveyed. One is Austin Griffin, one is Your Majesty, and the other is Lin Ze!"
"Even before you, Your Majesty, reached such power, I could still predict what would happen to Lin Ze. But Lin Ze is very special. Even when he was extremely weak, I couldn't predict everything about him..."
"Although Lin Ze is only at the early eighth level, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that he once defeated His Highness Abao head-on at the peak of the sixth level. Most importantly, with his assistance, the Devil God Sidi has even reached the power of the Fourth Pillar!"
"If I give the Devil God Sidi more time, he might even be able to shake my position..."
After hearing Vashak's words, Feng Xiu didn't refute him. It was indeed as Vashak said. Because he was of the lineage of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, he was naturally stronger than other demons.
Lin Ze was merely a human-demon hybrid, yet he had cultivated to this level in such a short time.
His progress was astonishing!
"Third brother, there's no need to be so wary of me. I understand that I'm not among the three people you're talking about."
Feng Xiu understood all this. Vashak's inclusion of him was simply a matter of respecting the ruler and his subjects, and he didn't want to offend his superiors.
In response to the Demon Emperor's words, Vashak slowly said, "Your Majesty, you worry too much. I'm merely your advisor."
"Alright, I won't embarrass you any more. Tell me about the Godhead. How did Lin Ze and his group fare?" the Demon Emperor inquired.
Vashak's expression darkened at Feng Xiu's question. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "According to the intelligence Mendi relayed, Lin Ze has achieved Godhead with overwhelming strength. However, despite having achieved Godhead, a problem has arisen..."
"What problem?" Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's brows raised slightly. After all, the matter of Godhead was of paramount importance. If he possessed it, he might be able to fight Austin Griffin head-on!
"...The Godhead has already formed a blood pact with Lin Ze!" Vashak announced the outcome after a brief silence.
The moment his words fell, a terrifying spiritual pressure instantly filled the entire realm.
Even Vashak, possessing 700,000 spiritual power, looked grim under this terrifying spiritual pressure.
Even the surrounding starry sky seemed to crumble under the Demon Emperor's million-level spiritual pressure.
Seeing this, Vashak quickly knelt and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Seeing his own loss of composure, Demon Emperor Fengxiu calmed himself down, then spoke with murderous intent, "How dare he!"
"Do you really think I dare not kill him?"
Faced with Demon Emperor Fengxiu's fury, Vashak hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, after all, the Godhead was successfully brought back from the Dream Paradise."
"Yes, I did, but was it for his use?"
"Your Majesty, there may be some reason for this. Please give Lin Ze a chance to explain. After all, his existence is crucial to the future of the Demon Race."
"Hmph, he'd better have a reasonable explanation, or I won't mind wiping him from the Demon Race!"
This time, the Demon Emperor was truly furious. Lin Ze had no regard for him, the Demon Emperor.
Vashak hadn't expected Lin Ze to do such a thing.
If it were an ordinary contract, there would still be a chance to cancel it, but a blood contract was different. Once signed, it could not be canceled, and the only way to cancel it was death.
But if Lin Ze died, his godhead would also die.
Lin Ze was undoubtedly gambling with his godhead. The Demon King Feng Xiu would not attack him for the sake of his godhead, which was undoubtedly a threat to Feng Xiu.
It would be a problem if Feng Xiu didn't get angry.
Vashak said, "Your Majesty, Lin Ze's recognition of the godhead is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Humph, Vashak, are you too partial to him? Can't you see that he has never felt a sense of belonging to the demon clan? If it weren't for his usefulness to the demon clan, do you think I would have let him live until now?"
Feng Xiu was also very angry at this time. Although refining the godhead of the Goddess of Nature might not necessarily break the limitations of this world's laws, there was a certain chance that he could break through and possess the strength to compete with Austin Griffin. But now this plan has been completely ruined by Lin Ze.
