Chapter 358 – Exploited By You (2/2)

As its voice faded, the Sky Devouring Rat squeaked a few times before slowly flying off. It kept its speed slow just so that Lei Yu could keep up with it.

Within this fourth region, it was too filled with rotten trees and eerily silent. This area had suffered the least damage because no large area of attacks was used like the previous ones. The Sky Devouring Rat had a tiny body so Lei Yu didn’t feel a large area attack would help him at all, and would actually waste a lot of his internal energy. As for the Sky Devouring Rat, it had not been pushed to resort to its true abilities. Otherwise, this entire region would have definitely been completely obliterated.

Accompanying the Sky Devouring Rat, they started flying towards the large mountain. On the way there, Lei Yu was looking at the scenery and noticed it was no different from the other regions – they were all filled with dead trees. But as they got closer to their destination, Lei Yu started feeling a familiar aura.

“What is that?!” Asked Lei Yu as he pointed at a huge stone stele off into a distance.

Although its facial expression was difficult to distinguish, one could feel a kind of sadness as the Sky Devouring Rat replied: “That is my big brother who transformed into a stone stele in order to suppress that so called Devil King that young master mentioned.”

“Why would something like this happen?” Lei Yu asked with wide eyes.

“If it weren’t for young master’s identity, I would definitely have not let you go. A few hundred years ago, the Devil King came to this Forest of Fog in order to steal the Lei Sect’s supreme treasure. He managed to bypass the three barriers and came straight to the fourth region. My big brother… he was only at the late Boundary Transition stage so there’s no way he could beat the Devil King who was already at the Mahayana stage. He gave up his soul and turned into a stone stele in order to suppress the Devil King beneath it. Big brother told me that the stone stele will be named the Heaven’s Path Stone Stele while my name would be changed to Sky Devouring Rat so that the third generation’s Sovereign will recognize me easier.”

Hearing the Sky Devouring Rat’s words, Lei Yu frowned and clenched his fists. He then started cursing at the Devil King in his mind: “You became like this because you were coveting my Lei family’s treasure! You’re a goddamn despicable villain!”

“Heehee, unfortunately for you, you’ve found out too late!” The Devil King’s voice was more shrill and ghastly than before. Beyond Lei Yu’s control, the skull flew out of the Universal Pouch and rushed straight below the Heaven’s Path stone stele.

“Quick, stop him!” Lei Yu screamed in shock as he pointed at the demonic looking skull.

Hearing this, the Sky Devouring Rat flew at its maximum speed. A black shadow flashed by and blocked in front of the skull. “You’re the Devil King?!” The Sky Devouring Rat yelled out.

“So you’re still around.” Said the Devil King’s remnant soul before slowly turning around towards Lei Yu. “You’ve actually managed to acknowledge each other in such a short time. Looks like I made a mistake on this step, but it doesn’t really matter. Since my true body is right in front, I want to see what you guys can do to stop me!”

“You son of a b*tch! So I’ve already been your chess piece ever since the Mortal World!” Roared Lei Yu as his eyes turned blood red and his body shook.

“That’s right; you have been completely used by me. That Sky Devouring Rat was too annoying, actually giving up its soul to trap me beneath the stone stele. In my helpless situation, I could only stimulate your soul with a portion of my own soul in order for you to draw out the lightning brand. With that, I was able to also plant a seed of my power within you. From that day on, even if you want to get rid of me would be an impossible thing. Your entire life… has been fated to become my servant! Haha…”

“F*ck you motherf*cker!” Lei Yu was completely enraged. All this time he was being used by the Devil King. All those flowery words and all those pointers in cultivation, everything was for him to enter the Forest of Fog. Only when he entered this place would Lei Yu successfully help him rescue his true body. What hiding aura to escape the Sky Devouring Rat? What less people the better? All of it was bullshit, complete bullshit!

“Curse, go ahead and curse all you want!” The Devil King coldly laughed before turning around again. “Little mice, you think your big brother was that divine? If it weren’t for that day when I was attacking the protective barrier and suffered some injuries, did you think your big brother could’ve subdued me that easily?”
