Tian Mo Chi Yan left with a face full of indignation and helplessness. He believed that Ji Mo would never stay in the lower realm forever. As soon as he ascended to the Immortal Spirit Realm, it would be his time to exact revenge.
"Let you be smug for a while. I will make you pay back a thousandfold in the future."
Chi Yan departed and returned to his lair to heal.
This time, Ji Mo had absorbed one-tenth of his origin. He didn't know when he would be able to replenish it.
The Iron Eater was rummaging through the ruins of the collapsed imperial city, calling out incessantly. It was anxious because even it couldn't sense Ji Mo's aura.
If it weren't for Chi Yan's tone indicating that Ji Mo had won, it would have thought Ji Mo had perished along with the Heavenly Demon's clone.
*Crunch...*
Stones flew as a dust-covered person emerged from the ruins.
"Brother Ji."
A fragrant breeze swept over as Mi Xue Bing Cheng pounced, leaping onto Ji Mo and hugging him tightly. She excitedly held his head and planted a series of kisses on him.
The Iron Eater trotted over to hug his leg, relieved that its cook was still alive.
The Toad and Niu Ben also rushed over excitedly, thinking of hugging him to celebrate. Now that Heavenly Demon Chi Yan had been defeated, the Demon Realm would henceforth be known as Ji's.
Their status would instantly reach the pinnacle of power.
Ji Mo glanced at them with disgust. "You two ugly freaks, shamelessly wanting to hug me?"
The Toad and Niu Ben chuckled awkwardly and stopped midway, not daring to approach.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Ji Mo pulled Mi Xue Bing Cheng off him. These two girls were truly shameless. He was a hot-blooded young man too, after all.
What if he made a mistake?
At this moment, his face was flushed, his skin crystal clear, and it even emitted a faint radiance, making him incredibly dazzling.
After absorbing one-tenth of Heavenly Demon Chi Yan's origin, it was indeed incredibly nourishing. Ji Mo felt filled with strength.
He felt that in the future, he wouldn't need to fear even the largest demons and monsters.
"Alas, what a pity, I still didn't absorb enough."
Ji Mo felt unsatisfied, his body still weak, still craving that mysterious power.
"Wow, Brother Ji, your skin has become so good. Your cultivation technique can also beautify and nourish the skin. Teach me quickly, teach me."
Bing'er poked Ji Mo's hand with her slender, white fingers, her face full of envy.
"What cultivation technique? I don't understand."
Ji Mo was full of questions.
Then he saw Niu Ben covering his mouth and chuckling, with a lewd expression, and immediately felt something was amiss.
He quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, that wasn't cultivation. I was just absorbing..."
"Yes, yes, it wasn't cultivation. Mr. Ji just sucked Chi Yan dry."
The Toad winked at Niu Ben, hinting that he shouldn't be so direct. After all, it was a matter between two men, so it should be more subtle.
Ji Mo's forehead was covered in black lines. This was worse than not explaining.
At the same time, he was filled with questions. With this divine ability to absorb others' energy, could he become stronger all the way?
However, it seemed the Heavenly Demon Mark had only become interested in one person after such a long time.
"Toad, are there any other existences like this in the Demon Realm?"
Ji Mo looked at the Ancient Soul Devouring Toad and asked.
The Toad shook its head. How could there be a second existence like the Heavenly Demon? However, after thinking, it pointed at the Iron Eater.
Among the divine beings, the divine beast Ni Tie counted as one.
Ji Mo's gaze immediately fell upon the Iron Eater.
The Heavenly Demon Mark sensed Ji Mo's emotions and immediately heated up. That craving was immediately apparent.
The Iron Eater hugged Ji Mo's leg, tilting its head up. Its watery eyes were filled with innocence, and it was almost scared to tears.
It didn't want to be sucked dry.
Fortunately, Ji Hanhan wasn't insane and didn't lay a hand on the Iron Eater. After all, it was his pet.
The Iron Eater finally felt relieved, then glared fiercely at the Ancient Soul Devouring Toad. This bad toad actually tried to harm me. I'll find an opportunity to have Chef Ji roast and eat it.
"Ha, it seems Lord Ni Tie has taken an interest in you."
Niu Ben enjoyed the show and stirred the pot.
At this moment, the radiance on Ji Mo's body receded, returning to normal.
He transformed back into his ordinary, unremarkable appearance.
At the same time, the demonic patterns on his body began to disappear, and his demonic features faded, reverting him to a human form.
"Ah, Brother Ji, why have you become ugly? But don't worry, I don't dislike you."
Xue'er exclaimed, pinching Ji Mo's cheek and looking him over, as if finding him pleasing to the eye no matter what.
Just then, someone rushed over, shouting, and knelt directly before Ji Mo.
"Supreme Lord Ji Mo, please allow your most loyal servant to attend to you."
The High Priest prostrated himself at Ji Mo's feet, his face filled with fanaticism and piety.
He had been secretly observing the battle between Ji Mo and Chi Yan. Now that it was over, to prevent being held accountable, he immediately came to surrender.
Ji Mo was stunned. It was the first time someone had worshipped him like this, and he had to admit, his heart was rippling.
"Well, High Priest, you're such a turncoat."
Niu Ben mocked, disdainful of such behavior.
The High Priest remained unfazed and said sincerely, "I swear, I will be loyal only to Lord Ji Mo and Lord Ni Tie for life."
He paused and continued, "Moreover, I have come with sincerity."
With that, he made a gesture, and several demon experts brought two people over.
One was the Night Priest, bound tightly and covered in bloody wounds.
The other was the proprietress, who was carried over, seemingly unconscious for some reason.
"Princess."
The Toad saw the long-lost proprietress and immediately leaped over.
The High Priest explained, "Princess Chu Qing was harmed by the Night Priest. The Night Priest wanted to force the royal treasures of the previous dynasty from her and used evil arts on her, which is why she fell unconscious. I captured the Night Priest and rescued Princess Chu Qing."
He had already learned from the Night Priest that the proprietress had a close relationship with Ji Mo, so he intended to use the proprietress as a stepping stone to pledge his allegiance.
As expected, with such a contribution, no one on the scene continued to trouble him.
Ji Mo stepped forward, examined the proprietress's condition, took out a ninth-grade spirit pill for her, and said, "There are no physical problems. She was just soul-searched, making her spirit extremely weak. She just needs to rest well."
The Toad finally breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately pounced onto the Night Priest's face, cursing and delivering a series of toad punches.
He beat the Night Priest until his head was bloody and swollen like a pig's head.
Ji Mo took out the jade seal from his embrace and placed it into the proprietress's hand, saying, "You are a displaced princess of the Demon Realm. This world originally belonged to your family. I'll return it to you."
This action meant that the proprietress would become the new Demon Lord, ruling the entire Demon Realm.
The proprietress probably never imagined that she would win without doing anything!
