CHAPTER 1134: CHAPTER 324: DIVINE WEAPON REALM MASTER (1/3)

The best decision.

An Jing slightly narrowed his eyes, sensing the authority handed over by the Main Sacrificial Lotus.

A crimson ring rotating within the Divine Sea, exuding an aura of destruction. Beside it is a complex sphere of light composed of countless webs.

This is without any reservation, related to the Divine Weapon Realm, the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon, and the existence of the Main Sacrificial Lotus itself.

"Divine Weapon Realm..."

An Jing’s eyes flashed, and his divine sense slightly moved.

Instantly, the Lingxu Cloud Palace that was originally floating in mid-air began to slowly descend. It fell back into the Melt Sea, the Divine Weapon Realm’s control center forged like jade would not be damaged by the lava a bit; instead, it began absorbing the heat from the Melt Sea to benefit itself.

It can be seen, the Melt Sea that once seemed endless, begins to rapidly darken and cool with the cloud palace at its center, and the originally thin shield suddenly solidifies, transforming into whirling rings of Gang Wind.

Not only this. As An Jing raised his hand to the sky, following his will, the ring-shaped Divine Weapon Realm begins to slowly revolve in the external void.

The Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon core, compressed into a pitch-black dot, that continuously rotating Dark Tribulation Cave jet point, departed from targeting the Tianyuan Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, but aimed directly at the Demon Nation fortress.

Suddenly, an extreme death alert echoed throughout the Demon Nation, except in the hearts of every life below the Demon Great Saint.

[Oh no, the Holy Demon Venerable is defeated!]

Even within the Demon Nation’s military forces, there was a demon general’s scream of lost voice: [The Divine Weapon Realm has been reclaimed, the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon is aimed at us—run!]

Although this defeatist general was quickly slain by his superior, undoubtedly, the morale of the Demon Nation is plummeting rapidly.

Even if the nine Demon Great Saints could forcibly control all demons through some coercive means, the extra expenditure of effort would give the Tianyuan Four Saints a chance.

The anomaly of the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon, along with the defeat of the Holy Demon Illusion, sparked intense actions from the Demon Nation side, causing several Demon Great Saints to even plan direct actions to destroy the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon. In no time, five brilliantly dazzling new stars flashed in the void.

But aside from whether they can accomplish this under the interference of the Tianyuan Four Saints, a vast ray of bright light transformed into a long rainbow, blocking all malicious gazes.

The Candle Dragon Battle Armor has already stood in their presence.

Evidently, before the ancestors are defeated, An Jing will not be in danger.

"Authority without any reservation."

Gazing at the brilliance in the Heavenly Dome, An Jing murmured to himself, a thought stirred in his mind, causing all Kun Demons within the Divine Weapon Realm to stop their actions and enter dormancy.

He calmly exhaled.

He actually truly mastered all authority over the Divine Weapon Realm and the Kun Demons, becoming the master of both.

"This doesn’t make me feel pleased."

Confirming the authenticity of the authority in his hands, An Jing turned and looked at the Main Sacrificial Lotus, his gaze did not soften because of the other’s ’cooperation,’ instead becoming more severe: "I feel rather puzzled."

"Main Sacrificial Lotus—I don’t know your name, let me call you this."

An Jing walked forward, reached out his hand, and caressed the lotus petal of the Main Sacrificial Lotus, resembling the metallic texture of the Sword Lotus on Broken Blade Peak, but with a bit more elasticity of flesh and blood: "You are the Kun Demon large group itself, and the Kun Demons wish for freedom, is that correct?"

[Indeed so]

The Main Sacrificial Lotus continued to answer respectfully, while An Jing shook his head: "Yes, the Kun Demons desire freedom, hence intending to break free from the shackles imposed on you by the Heavenly Demon, silently enduring for a long time, plotting for a long time, finally achieving success."

"And now—"

An Jing placed his hand down from the petal, clenched his fist, then opened it.

In his palm, the hazy web-like sphere of light, akin to a brain, is the core authority of the Kun Demons: "Yet you have given it to me."

[Yes] The Main Sacrificial Lotus responded respectfully: [We have handed everything over to you]

An Jing crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and said: "I don’t understand, you escaped from one cage, only to put yourself in another one?"

"In other words, if I don’t want your authority, what would you do?"

[Having betrayed once already, aside from handing over one’s life, there is no other way to prove one’s stance]

The Main Sacrificial Lotus was slightly surprised, evidently not expecting someone to be dissatisfied and unwilling with freely-given authority, but then thinking about it, if An Jing were not of such a stubborn and obstinate personality, how could he be determined by them as a ’non-faller’?

The collective wisdom quickly answered: [The shackles are relative, the Demon Nation wants to control us, use us, hence they also need to grant us corresponding authority to fight, build, thus giving us an opportunity to rebel]

[Based on our judgment, if we were to turn to Tianyuan people, there is a high probability that most of our wisdom would be stripped away, only retaining the core module as research samples, and they would leverage us to create new Thousand Mechanism, thus entirely replacing us]

[But with our example present, would they still dare to use Thousand Mechanism that has no wisdom, already corrupted once? Certainly not, and they cannot abandon our capabilities either, hence their final result would still be creating another Kun Demon, yet they this time become the Heavenly Demon, repeating the cycle of betrayal]

[We have always been tools, no matter which side we lean towards, as long as we cannot be independent and autonomous, we will inevitably be enslaved, just in different ways]

"Therefore."

An Jing understood, saying with interest: "You think it is better to be enslaved by me than by the Heavenly Demon or the Tianyuan people—or do you believe I will not enslave you?"

[We don’t know, hence we handed the collar and chain to you—you and the ’Bright Mirror Sect’ behind you surely also very much need our building capabilities, this is our greatest asset]

The intent of the Main Sacrificial Lotus carried a hint of laughter: [If you enslave, it would be nothing more than us seeking chances for rebellion again in a thousand years, if you don’t...]

"I will not relinquish this authority at the moment."

An Jing raised his hand, signaled the Main Sacrificial Lotus not to speak further: "Just as you said, having just freed from the grasp of the Heavenly Demon, you cannot obtain my trust for now, due to this, I cannot grant you freedom at this time, this is not enslavement, but observation."

"But after a period of time... I can only say, the name Kun Demon doesn’t sound good. As far as I know, in the Dao Court Era, as long as there is intelligent life, the Transformation Technique can be used to shape a human form, that would be considered a member of the Human Clan."

"Since you can be a human, why be a demon, a servant? Let’s observe for a while, until the Haotian Mirror ancestor determines there are no hidden hands left by the Holy Demon, in my eyes, you will be humans."

The Main Sacrificial Lotus slightly drooped its branches: [Yes]

After confirming the attitude of the Kun Demons and roughly credible information by the other, An Jing inquired about relevant information: "What is the truth about your original form? How did the Heavenly Demon make you intelligent and control you back then?
