Chapter 1085 Internal Meeting of the Cult of Humanity

Dongfang Daqian defeated the Barbarian Demon Hammer in one battle, standing out from many candidates and becoming the leader by a wide margin.

After all, he was the first person to publicly annihilate the Demon Army's leader.

Well, the Heart Demon Ring doesn't count; that's internal strife within the Demon Soldier Village, so it's not included in the publicly available evaluation system.

In an instant, Dongfang Daqian's reputation soared, leaving other competitors far behind, enjoying boundless glory.

However, amidst the magnificent scenery, there are also some discordant voices.

For example, although the Demon Hammer was defeated, he left behind a contingency plan for resurrection.

According to information from the Human Race Cult, the one who covered the grave of the Barbarian Hammer with the last scoop of soil was the Heart Demon Ring.

This is extremely frightening.

The Heart Demon Ring has successively destroyed the Winged Demon Felt, the Power Demon Ruler, and the Savage Demon Hammer, with a short, fast, and efficient pace, just like his clean and decisive victory in the great battle for the title of Demon Soldier King.

Now, the other demon lords all felt a sense of crisis, realizing that they had been made his accomplices.

At this rate, the Heart Demon Ring will undoubtedly become a supreme demon weapon without any doubt.

This was something that not only the powerful demon lords could not tolerate, but the hidden Queen of Enchantresses would also not stand idly by and watch this happen.

For thousands of years, the Enchantress has been stirring up trouble, often in an effort to prevent the birth of the Supreme Demon Weapon.

She fueled the flames, transforming into various faces to influence the life experiences of those who wielded the demonic weapons, leading them to the brink of extremism, bloodlust, and madness. One by one, the powerful demonic weapon lords became inhumane war criminals who disregarded human life.

Over countless eras, the demonic weapon has become a notorious evil, the antithesis of all humanity.

Even though legend has it that the Supreme Demon Weapon can slay the Enchantress, the numerous crimes committed by the Demon Weapon Lords make it difficult for many martial artists to consider the bigger picture, and they wish they could destroy them as soon as possible.

Dongfang Daqian killed a Barbarian Demon Hammer and already raised his reputation to an awe-inspiring level.

"Dongfang Daqian, if you can kill the Heart Demon Ring, we might not even need to fight. The Lord of Fengjun will voluntarily abdicate in your favor!"

"A descendant of a martial saint within the Human Race Cult said sourly."

They were discussing how to deal with the situation where the Mind Ring had become an unstoppable force.

The competition for demonic weapons is like raising poisonous insects. Countless demonic weapon masters sacrifice themselves, and in the end, only one remains to advance to the position of demonic weapon overlord. And the demonic weapon overlords accumulate generation after generation, eventually competing for the strongest supreme demonic weapon.

Throughout the process, competitors are constantly absorbing and growing stronger; taking the lead at one step means taking the lead at every step.

The Inner Demon Ring has become the most powerful demonic weapon in the open, posing the greatest threat to both allies and enemies.

"However, he is most likely to become the Supreme Demonic Weapon and slay the Enchantress..."

A faint voice voiced a question, but it was immediately drowned out by a louder voice.

"Killing the Enchantress would be such a great merit, it must be kept in my own hands, and becoming a saint with it would be a piece of cake."

"The Heart Demon Ring has grown too fast and is out of control. Before we have enough power to control the Supreme Demon Weapon, we cannot allow such a powerful existence to exist. We must eliminate it."

"That's right. At least we need to wait until Daqian obtains the throne and has the power of the Nine Cauldrons to enhance his abilities before he can control the Supreme Demon Weapon."

"We need to speed things up. Perhaps we should first sound out the Heavenly Sacrifice Palace. Abdication could save a lot of bloodshed!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Daqian's expression darkened. "Just call me Dongfang, stop calling me Daqian."

The other companions looked surprised, but many of them quickly realized what was going on.

It turns out that there is another great sage in the capital, whose reputation is also quite high. He is none other than Lord Nanchen, Zhou Daqian.

I don't know what Zhou Nanwang, the leader of the Western Branch of the Zhou Clan, was thinking. Why did he deliberately give his adopted son and heir the name Daqian? Isn't that obviously taking advantage of him?
One of the biggest motivations for Dongfang Daqian to become a candidate was that, after becoming a feudal lord, he could use the pretext of taboo to order Zhou Daqian to change his name and no longer be called 'Daqian'. The group of descendants of the Martial Saints, with many opinions, discussed for most of the day but still couldn't come up with a practical and effective plan.

The reason is that the Inner Demon Ring is too cautious and careful, always hiding in the nest it has created, making it impossible for outsiders to detect its plans.

He usually commands a large number of slave soldiers to do his bidding.

It's not that no one has thought of capturing slave soldiers and inducing them to rebel, thereby finding the location of the inner demon ring.

Well, Winged Demon Felt and Powerful Demon Ruler teamed up and used this idea, and the result... was disastrous.

The Heart Demon Ring—the word "ring" encapsulates his style: slippery and flawless, with a circular hole in the ring that reveals the unfathomable depths of his mind.

He had anticipated almost all of the enemy's tactics and set targeted traps; anyone who dared to come would only meet death.

Besides...

"The slave soldiers of the Heart Demon Ring are all incredibly cunning, each with their own hidden identities. I even suspect..."

A descendant of a martial saint said in a low voice, "There are also people from the Human Race Cult..."

That's impossible, that's absurd!
Dongfang Daqian was the first to deny it, "Impossible. You and I both have the bloodline of Martial Saints. Would we deign to look down on filthy demonic weapons?"

They have sacred artifacts to play with, and their standards are extremely high. They would never, and could never, become slaves to the demonic soldiers.

"I'm not talking about your companions, but those on the periphery, like that woman behind your back!"

He was referring to Mu Leizheng.

Dongfang Daqian shook his head. "Impossible. I'm certain she has no suspicion whatsoever. What evidence do you have?"

The other person realized their mistake and explained, "I was just using an analogy; I wasn't talking about her, nor was it directed at you!"

This topic is somewhat sensitive and could easily become an excuse for making a fuss or for forming cliques and attacking dissidents.

The meeting then fell into a lull.

But it quickly became lively, so lively that it even became somewhat chaotic.

Because a calamity descended from the sky and intruded into the private domain of the Human Race Cult.

"They're all here, so my trip wasn't in vain!"

The demon's appearance was so handsome it was almost sinister, and its voice was a mix of male and female, sounding indescribably strange.

Its eyes swept over everyone, including Dongfang Daqian, and they all felt a slight stagnation in their blood and qi, realizing that this calamity was no ordinary being and was quite dangerous.

In ancient times, some powerful calamities were crowned kings and emperors, once rivaling even martial saints, which was quite terrifying.

In other words, after the Demon Queen's physical body was destroyed, no more powerful demons appeared. As a result, the few Demons of Calamity that appeared were basically eliminated before they could develop their terrifying potential, having just advanced from the level of Calamity Demons.

For example, in Putuo Prefecture, the Queen of Enchantress summoned more than a dozen Calamity Demons after gathering her power. At first, most of them were destroyed, leaving only six or seven. However, as time went by, those Calamity Demons grew rapidly.

The calamity that intruded into the cult of human race is one of them.

Dongfang Daqian had personally slain a calamity demon in Putuo Prefecture, but he was not so sure he could face today's uninvited guest.

Unless the holy artifact 'Dawn' is still in his possession, he is confident that he can fight his opponent.

"Enough with the nonsense. It's rare to see a Calamity Demon speak so fluently and smoothly. What brings you here?"
