Divine Seal: Reborn Taotie, adopted by the Devil of Love

Chapter 156 Austin Griffin

Meanwhile, in the heart of the demon realm.

Inside the Star Demon Palace, in a separate starry sky domain, a platform is suspended.

All around was an endless starry sky, filled with the power of stars.

On the platform, the Star Demon God Vasak, the master of the Star Demon Palace, was using his spiritual power to guide the surrounding star power to fluctuate the star array around him, conducting some kind of deduction.

"How is Third Brother? Have you found him?"

Just as the Star Demon God was making his calculations, Demon God Emperor Fengxiu tore through the void and appeared behind the Star Demon God Vasak.

Faced with the question from Demon Emperor Fengxiu, Vasak stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Demon Emperor Fengxiu behind him.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"

Seeing the Star Demon God Vasak being so respectful, Feng Xiu slowly spoke up, "Third brother, there's no need for you to be so respectful, it's just the two of us. Have you found any trace of Austin Griffin yet?"

"I just sensed his presence!"

"I'm sorry, brother. It's my incompetence. The aura appeared for too short a time, and I couldn't pinpoint its location accurately."

"Moreover, the other party deliberately concealed their presence..."

"However, this also shows that Austin Griffin is still in a weak period and has not fully grown. With his current strength, this is the best time for us to nip him in the bud."

Upon hearing Vasak's words, Feng Xiu pondered briefly before slowly replying, "Give the order: once Austin Griffin is seen, he must be killed with all our might!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Feng Xiu put her hands behind her back, looked up at the starry sky, and slowly asked, "Third brother, can Lin Ze really stand up to Austin Griffin?"

“Now that Austin Griffin has appeared, it will probably be only a few years before its strength returns to its peak. Although Lin Ze has reached the eighth rank, he is still only at the eighth rank…”

Looking at Feng Xiu, who had his back to him, Vasak bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Ze's talent is unparalleled even in the entire Holy Demon Continent. To be frank, his talent is probably even above yours."

"Above me?"

Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's lips curled slightly, as if he were lost in some kind of memory, and he said, "When I was his age, I was already at the ninth level. Tell me, how do you think he is more outstanding than me?"

“Your Majesty, I have made countless predictions about Lin Ze, but I still cannot see through his past, present, or future. Without exception, as long as he is involved in a certain event, the originally predetermined outcome is always changed. He is an uncontrollable variable.”

"In my entire life, there are only three people I cannot fathom: Austin Griffin, Your Majesty, and Lin Ze!"

“Even Your Majesty, before you reached such strength, I could still foresee things. But Lin Ze is very special. Even when he was extremely weak, I could not foresee anything about him…”

"Moreover, although Lin Ze only has the strength of the early stage of the eighth rank, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that he once defeated Prince A Bao head-on with the strength of the peak of the sixth rank. Most importantly, with his assistance, the Love Demon God Xidi has even gained the strength of the fourth pillar!"

"If we give Siddy the Demon of Love more time, he might even be able to shake my position..."

After hearing Vasak's words, Feng Xiu did not refute them. Indeed, as Vasak said, because he was a descendant of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, he was born stronger than other demons.

Lin Ze was merely a human-demon hybrid, yet he was able to cultivate to this level in such a short time.

The progress has been nothing short of phenomenal!
"Third brother, you don't need to be so wary of me. I understand that I am not among the three people you mentioned." Feng Xiu understood this perfectly well. The reason Vasak included him was simply because of the distinction between ruler and subject, and he dared not disobey his superior.

In response to the Demon Emperor's words, Vasak slowly replied, "Your Majesty is overthinking it. I am merely Your Majesty's advisor."

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Tell me about the situation with the divine spark. What happened to Lin Ze and his group?" the Demon Emperor inquired.

Faced with Feng Xiu's question, Vasak's expression immediately turned grim. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "According to the intelligence relayed by the gate flute, Lin Ze obtained a godhood with overwhelming strength. However, although he has obtained the godhood, a problem has arisen..."

"What's the problem?" Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. After all, the matter of godhood was of utmost importance. If he possessed godhood, he might have the power to fight Austin Griffin!
"...The divine spark has already completed a blood pact with Lin Ze!" Vasak announced the result after a brief silence.

The instant his voice fell, a terrifying spiritual pressure instantly filled the entire domain.

Even Vasak, who possessed 700,000 spiritual power, looked somewhat unpleasant under this terrifying spiritual pressure.

Even the surrounding starry sky collapsed under the spiritual pressure of the Demon God Emperor's million spiritual power.

Upon seeing this, Vasak immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Realizing he had lost his composure, Demon Emperor Feng Xiu calmed himself down and said with murderous intent, "How dare he!"

"Does he really think I wouldn't dare kill him?"

Faced with the Demon Emperor Fengxiu's fury, Vasak hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, the divine essence was successfully brought back from the trip to Dream Paradise."

"We brought it back, we did bring it back, but is the divine power meant for him to use?!"

"Your Majesty, there may be some reason behind this. Please give Lin Ze a chance to explain, as his existence is related to the future of the Demon Clan."

"Hmph, he had better have a reasonable explanation, otherwise I wouldn't mind wiping him out of the Demon Clan!"

This time, the Demon Emperor was truly enraged; Lin Ze didn't even acknowledge him as the Demon Emperor.

Vasak never expected Lin Ze to do something like this.

If it were a regular contract, there would be an opportunity to terminate it. But a blood pact is different; once signed, it cannot be terminated, and the only way to terminate it is through death.

But if Lin Ze dies, his divine status will also die.

Lin Ze was undoubtedly gambling with his divine status. The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu wouldn't attack him for the sake of his divine status, which was tantamount to threatening Feng Xiu.

It would be problematic if Fengxiu didn't get angry.

Vasak said, "Your Majesty, Lin Ze's gaining divine recognition may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"Hmph, Vasak, aren't you being too biased towards him? Can't you see that he has never felt any sense of belonging to the demon race? If it weren't for the fact that he is still useful to the demon race, do you think I would have let him live until now?"

Feng Xiu was also furious. Although refining the Goddess of Nature's divine spark might not necessarily break the restrictions of this world's laws, there was still a certain chance that he could break through and have the strength to contend with Austin Griffin. But now, this plan had been completely ruined by Lin Ze.
