The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 313: The Lightning Sword Sect’s in Trouble!?

“Woof!”

Seeing as the Demon King was about to pass him over to the person before them, the black puppy was visibly frightened. Although it had not inherited its memories yet, it was at the early Connate stage and was intelligent enough to sense that the person before them was not a demon.

In the eyes of a demon, humans were aliens.

Although the person carrying it was in human form, his body gave off the aura of a demon, and so he felt safe.

“Little guy.”

Seeing as the black puppy was prejudiced against the human before them, the Demon King spoke up gently, using demon language to comfort it.

“Although I’m not sure why this human wants you, he is an extremely talented man. If you follow him, you will receive benefits and not come to harm.”

“No… I do not want to follow a human!”

The black puppy panicked. “Humans are all evil; they are the natural enemies of the demons. Some of my friends were killed by humans.”

This time, even before the Demon King could speak, Zhou Donghuang spoke up, “It is very normal for demons to be killed by humans… Do not forget that demons kill other demons as well.”

Zhou Donghuang spoke up using demon language as well.

“Your Excellency, you…”

The Demon King stared at Zhou Donghuang in shock as he had not imagined that the other party could speak their language.

As long as humans were willing to, they could learn the demon language through a demon. However, that required not just effort but also the natural ability to learn languages, and there were very few humans who were willing to do so.

Because of that, to the Demon King, the number of humans who knew the demon language was very low. From the time he was born till now, he had not met a human who could speak it fluently.

“Follow me, and not only will I not kill you, but I will even provide you with core drugs for you to upgrade your training stage.”

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the black puppy and took out a bottle of core drugs from his space ring. “These core drugs can be used by both humans and demons at the Connate stage, and they will greatly help you in your training.”

“I want this! I want this!”

As for the black puppy, upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, it shot forward like a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the core drugs in Zhou Donghuang’s outstretched palm with its mouth wide open.

However, Zhou Donghuang stretched out his other hand, holding off the black puppy and causing it to retreat in disappointment.

Zhou Donghuang then casually threw the black puppy on the ground and said lightly, “Since you are not willing to follow me, you can stay here.”

At the same time, he glanced at the Demon King again, “Even though the puppy is not willing to follow me, I will still fulfill the promise I made to you… In the next few days, I will try my best to help you enter the Divine Transformation stage.”

“Thank you, Your Excellency.”

The Demon King had on an extremely grateful expression and thanked Zhou Donghuang repeatedly. Afterward, he glanced at the black puppy on the floor, who had on a mournful expression, and gave it a reminder.

“Little fellow, if you can follow that human, you will have good luck. Treasure this opportunity.”

Over the next few days, Zhou Donghuang helped the Demon King to adjust the essential core within his body, which had become abnormal due to him using all sorts of human methods to train. This process took three whole days.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang passed on a method of crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage for demons to him. “With this method and with your situation now, you will become a Divine Transformation adept within three months at most!”

“Your Excellency, if you have any requests in the future, please feel free to find me. I will do all I can to help you!”

Before Zhou Donghuang left, the Demon King bowed to him and made a promise to him courteously.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded and took his leave.

As he walked away, on his shoulder sat a tamed black puppy. This was the exact same black puppy as before, the divine beast cub that he had used core drugs to try to entice and tame.

Of course, the black puppy was not aware that it was a divine beast.

“Boss, where should we go now?” the black puppy asked Zhou Donghuang with narrowed eyes.

Over the past few days, Zhou Donghuang had used core drugs to buy over the black puppy, and it had thrown away all customs and habits of a typical demon. Now, it was used to calling Zhou Donghuang “boss” and took on the role of a junior.

“We are going to another planet in another galaxy,” Zhou Donghuang said.

Zhou Donghuang had already made preparations for the path that he had to take next.

Using his memories from his past life, he wanted to visit the places where Divine Transformation adepts had left behind their inheritances so that he could collect them. He would then find an isolated place where he could groom the black puppy until it reached the Primal Core stage.

When he had first met the black puppy, it was only an early Connate adept.

Now, within a few days, it had crossed over to the mid Connate stage.

If it continued to follow Zhou Donghuang and eat core drugs, this black puppy would quickly reach the Primal Core stage where it could then inherit its memories… At that point, a miraculous event would happen.

In Zhou Donghuang’s previous life, the black puppy had created a similar miraculous event after it had inherited its memories, and that was the reason why many strongmen of various galaxies had wanted to snatch it away.

In this life, with Zhou Donghuang’s intervention, the black dog’s life now met with a very drastic change.

At the very least, the time it took to enter the Primal Core stage was now greatly lessened.

Afterward, with Zhou Donghuang paving the way for it, after the black dog became a divine beast, it would naturally not startle anyone else. It could safely pass over the most dangerous stage of growth of an orphaned divine beast’s life.

“Orphaned divine beasts,” this title referred to the orphans within divine beasts who did not have parents by their side to protect them.

No one would dare touch a divine beast cub who had parents or loved ones by their side to protect them, even if the cub were to inherit their memories and create a miraculous event.

In any case, for demons who could give birth to divine beast cubs, they were definitely considered the most elite of the beasts.

They could even be divine beasts themselves or even adult divine beasts!

Adult divine beasts were at the Heavenly stage, and using their natural bodies as well as other inherited traits, early Heavenly stage divine beasts could kill humans at the ultimate Heavenly stage. They could even directly hunt Deity’s Tribulation adepts.

Because of this, those from the bigger galaxies or top elite sects wouldn’t dare to provoke adult divine beasts.

In the next two months, the black puppy followed Zhou Donghuang to several planets in several galaxies. It also personally witnessed Zhou Donghuang uncovering many inheritances left behind by past human adepts.

Zhou Donghuang naturally collected all these inheritances.

During this time, they met with a few obstacles. At their resting places, these human adepts had left behind a few spells and tricks to guard their inheritance. However, to Zhou Donghuang, this did not mean much, and he easily overcame all these tricks.

“Boss, how did you know about this place?”

“Boss, are all these human adepts your ancestors?”

…

As Zhou Donghuang followed his past memories to uncover one treasure after another, the black puppy following him naturally felt shocked at this progress. In the end, he was in awe of Zhou Donghuang.

Of course, within this entire process, Zhou Donghuang had gathered many rare herbs and managed to manufacture core drugs for the black puppy to consume. The black puppy’s training stage thus increased at an exponential rate.

Within a short two months, he managed to cross over to the ultimate Connate stage.

It was even close to crossing over to the Primal Core stage.

“How much longer do you think you’ll take?” Zhou Donghuang asked the black puppy.

Once the black puppy crossed over and inherited its memories, a miraculous event would happen, and this would be noticed by all that surrounded them.

“At most, half a month.” The black puppy smiled cheekily. “Boss, I will quickly improve myself so that I can help you.”

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded his head. “Next, I will bring you to a planet and arrange a place for you to train… When you cross over to the Primal Core stage, I will find you.”

Originally, Zhou Donghuang had wanted to find an isolated place for the black puppy to train.

In the end, however, he felt that the Guiyao planet was still the safest.

Although the spells set in place no longer worked at Mo Ningsang’s previous place of rest on the Guiyao planet, using the shared memories he had with Mo Ningsang, it was easy to reactivate the spells for security.

Furthermore, once the spells were reactivated, they could provide more security than any spell he created himself.

This would be able to completely conceal the miraculous event created by the black puppy when it inherited its memories.

“Boss, could I follow you instead?”

The black puppy stared doe-eyed at Zhou Donghuang. Over the last two months, it had become reliant on Zhou Donghuang, although the latter had been strict with him.

This was because Zhou Donghuang was the first person who had treated him kindly.

Before it had met Zhou Donghuang, it had depended solely on itself. After meeting Zhou Donghuang, it became reliant on him. He was the closest thing to family, even though they had only known one another for two months.

“I’ve said it before, once you cross over to the Primal Core stage, I will come and get you,” Zhou Donghuang replied lightly. “Of course… That is if… At that point, you are still willing to follow me.

“But if you no longer wish to, I will not force you to either.”

The meaning behind Zhou Donghuang’s words was only understood by him and not by the black puppy, who was now extremely confused. After all, it was still young, and it could not have dreamt that it would develop into a divine beast, which was one in a million among beasts.

“Go on now.”

Zhou Donghuang stepped into the galaxy teleporter and keyed in the coordinates for the Lightning Sword Sect, which was situated on the Tielao planet in the Hengliu galaxy… But there was no response.

“What is happening?”

Zhou Donghuang froze before trying once again, but to no avail.

Instantly, Zhou Donghuang’s face changed dramatically.

Normally, this situation would only occur if the galaxy teleporter at the destination was destroyed.

However, this galaxy teleporter could be said to belong to the Lightning Sword Sect of the Hengliu galaxy. Why would it be destroyed out of the blue?

Unless someone launched an attack on the Lightning Sword Sect.

Instantly, many guesses appeared in Zhou Donghuang’s mind. “Could it be that the assassins of the Qi Dynasty dying incurred the wrath of Emperor Qi, who then decided to take revenge on the Lightning Sword Sect?

“Or perhaps… The catastrophe of the Lightning Sword Sect happened ahead of time?”

Either way, they were both not favorable outcomes to Zhou Donghuang.

This was because his third senior sister, He Mengxi, her father, and Da Zhuang were all still at the Lightning Sword Sect!

“The Hengliu galaxy, the Tielao planet, the Lightning Sword Sect!”

Zhou Donghuang had on a dark expression, and he changed his coordinates.

Within the next instant, the galaxy teleporter was activated, and this meant that his new destination’s galaxy teleporter was active and working.
