The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3667 The Path of the Gods is Impassable, But What About the Path of the Demons?
Lin Chen and Mei Shi traveled along the Milky Way.

“Master, I can finally keep you company. Staying in the Linglong Tower all day long is so boring.”

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's much safer in the tower."

Mei Shi smiled and said, "I enjoy traveling with my master."

Lin Chen ignored Mei Shi's words and instead casually asked, "As a life created by the Creation God, you possess the ability to devour and transform, so you should be considered a Devourer, right?"

Mei Shi replied, "We, the Abyss Clan, are different from your human race and the Celestial Clan. We don't need any cultivation techniques or supernatural powers. Our combat mode is very simple: the absorption and release of energy."

"We can absorb and transform energy. The body is more like a container for storing energy. The more energy the body can store, the stronger our combat power and the higher our realm. When we fight, we can release energy to fight. When our energy is depleted, we have no more combat power."

"Why does our entire race fight around the purple crystal pillar? It's because the purple crystal pillar devours all the life force of the planet, converts it into energy, and provides it to the Abyss race to absorb. When our energy is exhausted in battle, we can quickly restore our energy and combat power by returning to the purple crystal pillar."

"Of course, we can also replenish energy by absorbing it, but that requires us to absorb and convert it ourselves, which takes some time. However, the purple crystal pillar has already completed this absorption and conversion process for us in advance, so we only need to replenish pure energy directly."

"The Heavenly Demon is an energy body, filled with pure primordial energy of the universe. I can absorb it directly without much conversion, and the quality of this energy is even higher. So as I continuously absorb the energy from the Heavenly Demon's body, my body is also changing, able to store more energy. That's why my strength has increased very rapidly recently."

Lin Chen recalled his battle with the Abyss Demons. Although they also had techniques, they were all different ways of using energy, and their core was the release of energy.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "So, you don't have attribute distinctions, meaning you don't have spiritual roots. Is it because of this that, although you can continuously grow stronger by absorbing energy, you can't comprehend the Great Dao, so even if you become a powerful being comparable to a top-tier saint, you still have no chance of becoming a god?"

Mei Shi nodded: "Didn't the Creator God say before that even if I absorbed more of the power of the universe's origin, I could never become a god?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "If the Path of the Gods is impassable, what about the Path of the Demons?"

Mei Shi looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled expression: "The Path of the Heavenly Demon?"

Lin Chen replied, "Heavenly Demons are energy beings. In a way, aren't you similar to them? They possess Heavenly Demon Venerables who can rival Heavenly Gods. Does that mean there is another powerful path?"

Mei Shi was stunned, but her beautiful eyes brightened.

"That does seem to be true, but we know nothing about the Heavenly Demon Venerables, let alone how they became so powerful..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's see if we can talk about it. I also heard about the existence of the Heavenly Demon Venerable from the Heavenly Demon himself, and this idea suddenly came to me..."

Mei Shi grabbed Lin Chen's arm and pleaded in a soft, pleading voice, "Master, help me!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If it's really possible, I'll definitely help you. The more strength we have, the greater our chance of victory."

Mei Shi nodded happily, then said seriously, "Master, don't worry, I can make an oath, any vicious oath that can kill me and destroy my soul, even if I become incredibly powerful, I will obey all your commands and obediently be your woman."

Lin Chen's face stiffened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mei Shi grabbed Lin Chen's hand with a heartbroken expression and pressed it to her chest: "You never believe me, you think I'm a heartless demon. If you don't believe me, just touch me, feel it for yourself, and see if I'm real or fake..."

"Uh……"

Lin Chen felt the soft, smooth texture beneath his hand and was immediately embarrassed: "Really, really, I didn't say you were fake. Okay, let go of my hand." Mei Shi leaned closer: "Since you said I was real, then why did you keep rejecting me? Am I not pretty enough?"

Lin Chen coughed and said, "You are very beautiful, but that still requires feelings."

Mei Shi said in a resentful tone, "We've been together for so long, through life and death, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

Lin Chen was speechless at Mei Shi's infatuated behavior. Ever since she followed him, she had always been like this. The longer it went on, the more she seemed to resemble a real human being and a woman.

As Lin Chen was pondering how to answer Mei Shi, several beams of light rapidly approached from the sea of ​​stars.

"Someone!"

Lin Chen composed himself and warily watched the approaching light.

This wasn't the first time Lin Chen had encountered adventurers.

Ever since these demons learned of the Celestials' arrival and formed teams, the adventurers in this starry sky seem to have become chaotic. Instead of blindly searching in all directions, they have narrowed their search area and are traveling in groups.

Under such circumstances, the probability of encountering other adventurers or hunting demon teams increases significantly.

Three beams of light landed in front of Lin Chen, revealing his figure.

Lin Chen looked somewhat surprised. The person in front of him was actually Elder Wang An of the Cangmang Sect. Lin Chen also vaguely remembered the other two, as if they had appeared at the previous Eleventh District Alliance Conference.

When Wang An saw Lin Chen and Mei Shi, his expression froze for a moment, then turned evil.

"Boy, aren't you a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect? Why are you all alone with a woman from another race instead of any other Heavenly Crane Sect members by your side?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Who I'm with is our Tianhe Sect's own arrangement, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Yo!"

A sage standing next to Wang An looked surprised: "This alien brat is quite arrogant, actually speaking to us in such a tone!"

Wang An sneered, "Even if Yu Qianfan, the sect leader of Tianhe Sect, were here, he wouldn't dare to speak to me in such a tone. Do you really not know what death means?"

Lin Chen remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever: "I am a legitimate disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect. Do you intend to kill me?"

"kill you?"

Wang An laughed heartily: "You've joined the Heavenly Crane Sect, kid, you've gotten too cocky. Do you think that just because you've joined the Heavenly Crane Sect, I won't dare to make a move?"

Lin Chen said coldly, "Do you want to provoke a sect war with the Heavenly Crane Sect?"

Wang An laughed wildly: "You, a lowly alien slave, Yu Qianfan must be blind to have accepted you as a formal disciple. But so what? I'm going to kill you, I don't care if you're a formal disciple or not!"
