The young Demon Lord spoke no more. He lowered his body and lightly touched the Demon Lord's forehead while softly reciting something.

He was not speaking in the ordinary Demon language. His words carried a natural sorrow, sounding like a final prayer or blessing.

About to die, his father was.

The brightness in the Demon Lord's eyes had already faded into the gloom, just like that star in the north.

On the other side, Nanke held his hand, but he did not care.

He only calmly gazed at the young Demon Lord, softly patting the back of his hand, and then slowly closed his eyes.

As his eyes closed, his breathing becoming extremely prolonged until there was no gap, and then it stopped.

The deep blue starlight around the wound on his abdomen spread in all directions, transforming his demon body into solid ice.

The cold wind no longer howled, the starlight seemed to retreat into the distance, and the darkness deepened. All was quiet, as if even time and space had frozen.

The Demon Lord had died.

A generation of legends had come to an end.

A hastily written period could finally be placed on that most magnificent span of history from one thousand years ago.

To the Human race, this period of history had already announced its end with the departure of Han Qing from the pavilion in the Mausoleum of Books and the collapse of the Lingyan Pavilion.

To the Demon race and the entire continent, only tonight had it truly ended.

After some time, the young Demon Lord wiped the tears from his eyes, ceased his sorrow, and stood up.

As he rose, the darkness in the sky seemed to pour into his body, making him seem incomparably large and powerful.

The legacy of countless generations of the strong had finally and totally been passed on to him.

From this moment on, he was the sovereign of the northern reaches of the continent, the master of the Demon race. He no longer needed to be prefixed with ‘young’ or ‘new’.

He was the Demon Lord.

He looked at Chen Changsheng.

”A grand figure like my royal father should not leave the world in such a lonely and ordinary fashion. Fortunately, he has a Pope of the Human race like you to be buried with him, which I suppose is a meager comfort. You can die now. Of course, you'll have to leave those things of yours behind.”

Chen Changsheng asked, ”What are you referring to?”

After a pause, the Demon Lord replied, ”The Garden of Zhou? The Heavenly Tome Monoliths? Although I lost a father tonight, the compensation I will receive won't be too small.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng confirmed that the Demon Lord really did know where his confidence came from, so where did the Demon Lord's confidence come from?

”Don't try to enter the Garden of Zhou.” The Demon Lord looked into his eyes and said, ”Although I'm not an expert like my royal father that can cut off your connection with space, I can guarantee you that when you try and pass through space, I have countless methods of making you fail.”

Chen Changsheng thought this over, then asked, ”Black Robe?”

The Demon Lord was somewhat surprised, commenting, ”That you could so quickly think of the reason means that your head's still sober.”

After the disturbance in the Garden of Zhou, the Li Palace and Mount Li had performed an extensive analysis and confirmed that Black Robe had an extremely deep understanding of the Garden of Zhou, and also possessed some way of affecting the Garden of Zhou's laws. At the time, the Soul Pivot that Nanke had used to control the monster tide had been destroyed and Black Robe's iron plate had been run through by the Heaven Shrouding Sword, but who could guarantee that Black Robe had no more methods?

Chen Changsheng had been heavily injured at the hands of the previous Demon Lord, the little Black Dragon had been thrown far away, the Green Leaf was not here, he had not yet fully comprehended the Heavenly Tome Monoliths, and he did not dare enter the Garden of Zhou. Anyone would think that escaping alive would be an incredibly arduous task for Chen Changsheng, but he himself did not think so.

”If I want to leave right now, it's actually very simple,” Chen Changsheng said to the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord appeared a little surprised as he asked, ”Is that so?”
