Chapter 781: Opportunities
The female Devil’s expression was filled with anticipation, her lips curving into a victorious smile.
She could already imagine what would happen next.
The Dragon’s claw would be severed, giving her the perfect opportunity to snatch the wooden fragment away—that was her plan.
Although she was arrogant, the fame of the Dragon Devil had long spread in the Ancient Devil circle. Thus, she knew it was unlikely for her to defeat the opponent.
Rather than that, she preferred to make sure that the mission given by her Lord was completed.
Unfortunately, no matter how much the Devil indulged in her fantasy and how cautious she believed she was, reality was destined to shatter her dreams.
A high-pitched clang echoed through the ruined forest.
The bone blade collided with Liora’s Dragon scales.
Not only did it fail to penetrate them, but it was also forced back, sending a powerful force surging into the female Devil’s body.
The smile on her face froze.
“Hmph!” A cold snort echoed in her mind, shaking her soul,
The next second, the female Devil’s field of vision changed.
A massive claw appeared above her head, rapidly growing larger while descending toward her.
No. That was merely her perception.
From Liora’s point of view, it was the Devil who was growing smaller.
As Liora manipulated space and time, drawing upon the power of the Land of Origin, the Primordial Devil rapidly shrank.
It didn’t take long.
Within moments, the Devil’s body had shrunk to a tiny speck and landed gently on Liora’s palm.
The next instant, Liora clenched her hand.
Bang!
The Devil’s body exploded, her proud defenses unable to withstand the impact.
Before she could even turn into a mist of blood, an invisible force descended and erased the mess completely.
Only a remnant of her soul remained.
But even that didn’t last long.
The next moment, Liora tossed the soul into her mouth, converting it into Evolution Points.
More importantly, she began searching through the female Devil’s memories.
After all, her earlier words had already piqued Liora’s interest.
As she examined the memories, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
“So it’s true. Someone really is collecting these Chaos God fragments, just like me,” Liora whispered.
She was hardly surprised by this.
The wooden fragments were clearly extraordinary, and judging by the numerous calls echoing in her mind, there were many of them.
It was only natural that other Devils would be interested in them.
What made Liora wary, however, was the identity of the person the female Devil served.
The Willow God Demon Lord.
This was a name Liora knew quite well.
She had heard it many times before, both from the Mountain Demon Lord and in conversations between other Ancient Devils.
The Willow God Demon Lord had an extraordinary status.
She was not only one of the three strongest Ancient Devils, suspected of having reached the Absolute Beginning stage, but also the leader of an entire lineage.
“Unlike the True Angel Demon Lord and the Original Truth Demon Lord, the Willow God Demon Lord doesn’t lead a race but many of them.”
“In a sense, her lineage is an organization made up of many different races.”
Some suspected that this was because the Willow God Demon Lord’s own race was too weak to provide her with support. Others thought she was more inclusive.
Whatever the reason, this structure allowed the Willow God’s lineage to be perhaps the strongest faction in the current Demon World.
“According to this woman’s memories, the Willow God has ordered most of her subordinates to search for these wooden fragments. As for the Willow God herself, she has gone to a place of opportunity with the rest of them…”
Liora narrowed her eyes.
The place the Willow God Demon Lord had gone to attracted her attention.
Liora hadn’t found any mention of it in the memories of the Ancient Devils she had obtained so far.
Perhaps the knowledge had been sealed through some unknown method. Or perhaps only the most powerful beings knew of its existence.
Either way, it was more than enough to pique Liora’s interest.
The reason was simple:
According to the Willow God, that place held the secrets of the wooden fragments. Once enough of them were gathered, they would serve as the key to enter it.
Thinking this, Liora hesitated briefly.
While unsealing the fragment and devouring the souls within it, she considered what to do next.
Under normal circumstances, competing with an Absolute Beginning Devil for an opportunity would be impossible with her current strength.
However, with the power of the Cosmic Universe available to her, she was certain to suppress her opponent.
More importantly…
“I can feel that these Chaos God fragments are destined for me. I have a hunch that the secrets they hold might answer many of my questions.”
“For example, the true identity of the Evolution System. Or perhaps even…”
Liora didn’t finish that thought.
After converting the sealed souls into Evolution Points and then using those points to strengthen herself, she no longer lingered.
She soared into the sky, heading toward the so-called place of opportunity.
Clearly, she had made her choice.
Unless a Prince or Princess of the Demon World appeared, Liora had little to fear.
An Absolute Beginning Devil alone wasn’t enough to make her back down, especially considering something so important.
Of course, she wasn’t going to waste the journey. Along the way, she was planning to collect every wooden fragment she encountered.
This would not only strengthen the fragment in her possession but also improve her own strength.
—
Far away from Liora, three massive armies had assembled.
Three figures hovered in the sky above them, their auras engaged in an invisible confrontation.
Anyone who knew their identities would hardly be surprised by this scene.
After all, these were the three long-standing rivals of the current era.
The three strongest Ancient Devils and the leaders of the strongest lineages.
However, why these beings had gathered here with their subordinates, abandoning the other opportunities in the Land of Origin and seemingly wasting their time, would interest most who knew them.
