Seal of God: Crossing the Snake Demon God, Devouring Evolution

Chapter 73: Fighting the Demon King

"Please come in, senior." An Lan invited Chen Zidian into the barracks of the No. 1 Sergeant Demon Hunting Regiment.

"Human life will increase with the existence of spiritual power. Ten thousand spiritual powers can allow a professional to live over a hundred years without interference from external forces. Once the cultivation breaks through the ninth level and the spiritual power exceeds one hundred thousand, it is easy to live to two hundred years. And we, the Fallen Demon God, are already over three hundred years old. Human life is short after all, and it cannot last for a thousand years like the Demon God. We have reached the end of our time and have at most five years to live."

Chen Zidian's tone was very calm, as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter.

But everyone in the No. 1 Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Group showed respect.

Three hundred and twelve years of career in the Demon Hunting Group means that the Demon God has been fighting against the demons for a full three hundred and twelve years.

They devoted their entire lives to the continuation of mankind.

Chen Zidian continued, "Since we were awarded the title of Demon God's Fall, we have been working as a force to contain the Demon God Emperor. But to be honest, we only have a 5% chance of perishing together with the Demon God Emperor."

"The Demon God Emperor is an unrivaled warrior with a spiritual power exceeding one million."

Hearing this, everyone was extremely shocked.

All Demon God Emperors of all generations were the most powerful beings in the Holy Demon Continent, but few people knew that the Demon God Emperor could actually cultivate to the level of over one million spiritual powers.

How is that different from God?
The Demon King is now over 700 years old, which is the peak period of his long life.

The Demon God's Fall Demon Hunting Group led by Chen Zidian has a 5% chance of perishing together with the Demon God. How powerful are they?
They have always been very clear that the Demon Hunters play an extremely important role in the Temple Alliance, but it was not until today, from Chen Zidian's mouth, that they truly understood the extent of the terror of the Demon Hunters.

A title-level demon hunting group is so powerful that even the Demon King has to be wary of it.

What an honor!

Only An Lan knew that the Demon King, whose internal spiritual power exceeded one million, had already reached the demigod realm. In fact, the probability of the Demon God dying together with the Demon King was infinitely close to zero.

Of course, he couldn't say it at this time.

Chen Zidian said: "Over the years, we have been observing the growth of the younger generation, but we have never found anyone who can take over our mission. In the past three hundred years, there have been many talented people, but there has not been a good enough team."

"Not long ago, I paid close attention to the Demon Hunting Group trials. It was great, and a group of outstanding young people emerged. But there is no doubt that your Demon Hunting Group has the most potential."

"So An Lan, I hope that one day you can lead your team to take over our mission."

When Chen Zidian said this, his voice was very sincere, which showed how much hope he had for the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group.

"I hope that one day you can take over from us, or even do better than us. Humans must have the power to shock the Demon King. We only have about five years. When our lives come to an end, we will find the Demon King. Therefore, you must not relax for a moment, and you must pay attention to protecting yourself. The integrity of the team is the foundation for future development."

An Lan nodded, and the others were already ignited by Chen Zidian's words, as if their blood was boiling, showing excitement. Chen Zidian said: "I came to see you this time, and I have a secret to tell you."

"For six thousand years, we humans have been developing without any effort. We have become stronger much faster than the demons because we have creativity. But we have never been able to truly confront the demons head-on. The reason lies in the 72 Demon Gods."

"In the past three hundred years, we have killed thirty-nine demon gods, the highest ranking of which is the fourth pillar demon god, but they have all been passed down without exception. Do you know why?"

"Because of the Demon Pillar!"

Chen Zidian nodded and said, "Yes, it is because of the Demon God Pillar. For the demons, the Demon God Pillar is their sacred artifact. There are 72 Demon Gods, and each of them has 72 Demon God Pillars. As long as the Demon God Pillar is still there, even if the demon god dies, their inheritance will continue. Therefore, if you want to really kill a demon god, there is only one way, and that is to kill them and destroy their Demon God Pillar at the same time."

"But as a divine weapon, how can the Demon Pillar be destroyed so easily? In my opinion, to destroy the Demon Pillar, at least divine equipment is needed. The most regrettable thing in my life is that I did not master the Divine Throne. I was young and frivolous, and I was recognized by four of the Divine Thrones, but I insisted on fighting for the most powerful Eternal Throne. In the end, I got nothing, and I could no longer gain the recognition of other thrones."

"If I had mastered the Divine Throne at that time, perhaps I could have tried to use the power of the throne to destroy the Demon Pillar."

Chen Zidian sighed and said with some regret: "Every time we destroy one of the 72 Demon God Pillars of the Demon Race, the luck of the Demon Race will be weakened by one point. Our time is coming, and we have to focus on the Demon God Emperor and have no time to care about anything else. Therefore, Anlan, with your talent, as long as you break through the ninth level, you will definitely be recognized by the God Seal Throne. I hope you will not be as stubborn as I am. Any God Seal Throne will be of incomparable help to you."

"I hope that you can destroy as many Demon Pillars as possible during your lifetime. The simultaneous appearance of the Son of Light and the Saint of Samsara finally gave us humans a chance to counterattack. I look forward to the day when you succeed."

Chen Zidian's gaze swept across the members of the No. 1 Class Demon Hunting Group one by one, and finally returned to An Lan.

"An Lan, I have some final words to say to you. I want to talk to you alone." Chen Zidian said.

An Lan signaled his companions to leave the barracks, and finally only the two of them were left.

"Please tell me what you have to say, Senior."

Chen Zidian pondered for a moment, and then said: "An Lan, do you think it is possible for humans to defeat the Demon King with their own strength?"

For more than six thousand years, no human being has ever produced a being that can truly contend with the Demon King.

The Son of Reincarnation and the God of Sword of Light a hundred years ago were both unable to do so.

Even the fall of the Demon God today cannot pose a real threat to the Demon God Emperor.

An Lan smiled slightly and said, "Why not?"

Chen Zidian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Tell me what you think."

An Lan said: "The former Son of Samsara was only thirty-six years old when he broke through the ninth level, and he was able to seriously injure the old Demon God Emperor. When the Bright Sword God challenged the Demon God Emperor, he was only forty-eight years old. Imagine, if the Son of Samsara challenged the Demon God Emperor at the age of one hundred and thirty-six instead of thirty-six. If the Bright Sword God challenged the Demon God Emperor at the age of one hundred and forty-eight instead of forty-eight, would the outcome be different?"
