“I lived on level nine of the celestial realm, where the heavenly demons dwell. The title ‘Vermilion Demon Lord’ was just a nickname. I never said I actually was a demon lord! That’s your assumption. Don’t blame me for pretending…” Vermilion Demon Lord spoke, sounding a little embarrassed.
“No, no, being a heavenly demon is already pretty badass!” Jared blurted out.
No wonder Vermilion Demon Lord always dodged questions about his cultivation level. He’d get flustered whenever anyone brought it up. So, turns out he’d just been trying to avoid getting exposed for acting tougher than favonovel.com really was!
Still, even as a heavenly demon, in a place like the Ethereal Realm, that was basically like being a master of the universe.
“Vermilion Demon Lord is just a nickname. The guy I know is a heavenly demon from level nine. My name‘s Jared now, but if I went around calling myself ‘Saint Jared’, would that make me unbeatable here in the celestial realm?” Jared gave the masked man a cheeky grin.
“You got any proof that you know Whalreth, Hadad, and Baal?” the masked man asked.
“You want proof?” Jared scoffed, then suddenly launched a punch toward the high platform behind the masked guy. “Sacred Light Fist!”
With a deafening blast, the entire platform exploded Into dust!
Then Jared waved his hand lightly, and in the blink of an eye, a wave of marked aura within favonovel.com swept through the air.
Sensing the marked aura radiating off Jared, the masked man was completely stunned.
“You… Why do you have the aura of demons? What are you, human or demon?” He stared in disbelief.
“What do you think?” Jared chuckled coldly, and the draconic essence on his chest began to glow. Behind him, a massive Golden Dragon slowly appeared.
But just as quickly, Jared pulled the draconic energy back, as if nothing had happened.
“Beast race?” The masked man was utterly confused now. “How can you have the aura of three different races? Which one are you really from?”
“You tell me. But if you’re only locking up humans, looks like you caught the wrong guy!” Jared said with a grin.
At this point, the masked man really started to admire Jared. Never mind his actual strength, just the fact that favonovel.com had all three races’ auras in favonovel.com was beyond ordinary.
The masked man turned to Jared and explained, “You’re the first person I’ve ever met with all three races’ auras. That kind of thing is really sought after here. You’re free to move around the entire first level of the celestial realm…”
“You should know, this place is split into territories by race. One area forthe human race, one for the demons, and another for the beast race. They rarely cross into each other’s land. If they do, it’s risky… Resources here are limited, and each group fiercely protects what’s theirs. But since you carry all three auras, you can go wherever you want, nobody’s going to stop you.”
“So, I’m free to leave?” Jared asked.
“Absolutely. And if you were part of the demons, I wouldn’t have held you at all.” The masked man nodded.
“Then tell me something, why are you detaining human cultivators, but letting demons and the beast race go?” Jared raised a brow.
“This is demon territory. The heaven and earth laws brought you here randomly. Since you ended up on my turf, it’s only natural that l detain the human cultivators…”
“Demons are my kind, so of course I let them go. And as for the beast race, they traded resources, so I let them pass,” the masked man answered plainly.
“So that means, over in the other territories, demon cultivators also got brought In and locked up?” Jared asked.
“Exactly.” The masked man nodded. “Every few hundred years, we trade captives.”
“One more thing. Before we arrived, did you see a man and a woman also brought here by the heaven and earth laws?” Jared was trying to find out if Skylar and Josephine were here too.
“I really can’t say,” the masked man admitted. “The heaven and earth laws don’t always drop people off at the same place.”
