Chapter 558: Atu’s fortuitous encounter (1/2)
The Eastern Domain King, he was two and half meters tall, with a strong body that was like that of a human’s.He had a head and four limbs without the tail or horns of a demon. He didn’t even have a nose, ears, or mouth, making sound from special structures inside his throat to speak.Other than that, there was not a single hair from head to toe, with jet black skin that had a metallic glow to it.
It was like a human made of black iron.
This unlucky fellow hadn’t been in charge for long before he was captured.
The Eastern Territory King didn’t pose any threat at all.There were all kinds of curses and restrictions all over his body and he kneeled on the ground without being able to move at all.Mei Ji and Shadow were guarding him on the left and right respectively. He looked very sorry and his expression was very ugly. He didn’t look like a peak expert that had reached the Heaven Domain Realm at all.
Strange.
That demon had been heavily injured by Death Wing, but he had pretty much recovered in this short period of time.This kind of regeneration ability was not something a demon should have!
Chu Tian was disinclined to guess as he directly asked, “What race are you?What are you called?”
“I am a Dark Demon.”The Eastern Territory King quickly said, “My full name is Atu Raymond Dunbigo Armand……”
The demons and dark races had very long and ugly names.If Mei Ji and Shadow said their full names, it would be several worlds.To simplify a dark race or a demon’s name, it would just take two-three words, so calling him Atu was enough.
“Dark Demon?Damn, do you think father is stupid?!”Chu Tian knew the Dark Demons. Dark Demons were low grade demons who were around the same as Green Demons, how could Dark Demons reach the Heaven Domain Realm?Not to mention that Atu didn’t have any characteristics of Dark Demons. That skin with a metallic glow and that body that seemed like it was made of metal, this was clearly this bastard speaking nonsense, “Being this dishonest, father hates dishonest people like you.I have to not give you some face first, cut off his limbs!”
Mei Ji was about to do it.
“No, no, stop, stop!”Atu’s face fell and he began to plead for himself, “I really am a Dark Demon, but I changed to my current appearance because of an accident.”
Chu Tian raised his hand to stop Mei Ji and asked, “What accident?”
Atu didn’t dare hide anything.
He told them everything about the strange appearance he had.
Twenty years ago, Atu was just a low level demon who lived at the bottom.One day he was looking for herbs in the mountain when he chanced upon an underground palace.
He was trapped for several days!
Atu was thirsty and hungry when he found some Blood Red Lingzhi in the palace.He didn’t know the origin of these lingzhi and didn’t care that much at that time before stuffing those lingzhi into his stomach.
Chu Tian asked with knit brows, “And then?”
“Nothing!”Atu said with an intense look, “I fell asleep after eating those things and it was already an entire twenty years after when I woke up.There was a large change with my body, with my strength being increased over a hundred times. Finally after half a year of cultivating, I grasped some secret techniques hidden in the palace and broke the barrier to escape.”
Ate some strange lingzhi?Slept for an entire twenty years?After waking up, there was a large change with his body and his power increased over a hundred times?This seemed like nonsense no matter what!
“I swear in the name of demons that I’m willing to have my soul trapped in hell forever if I even told half a lie!”Atu didn’t care anymore as he wanted to keep his life, “I found that I reached the 1st Heaven Domain Layer after leaving the underground palace and I met those Flame Demon City fellows.If I met some Purgatory World City Lords twenty years ago, I would have been trampled like a lizard on the side of the road. What I never imagined was that the City Lord would be so respectful to me and even wanted me to take the Eastern Territory King position.They promised to give me Darkness City, so then…..”
Most of it was understood.
If Atu really didn’t lie, he could have met an incredible fortuitous encounter because an herb that could change a person’s physique was something that came out of legends.Atu was very lucky that he didn’t die from swallowing this kind of medicine. Finally his body’s strength was also strangely changed, showing that this fellow’s luck was not something that could be described.
The motive of the Purgatory City Lords could be explained.
This fellow was a Heaven Domain Expert, but his mind was still at the Dark Demon level.His brain wasn’t good and his eyes were shallow, only having strength and no threat.
The Heaven Domain Expert status was very easy to use.
If the four City Lords used his banner, couldn’t they sweep through the entire area?They would sweep through the forces that didn’t submit and would take tributes from the ones that didn’t dare fight back, this would be greatly beneficial for the Purgatory cities.
Atu strangely became the Eastern Territory King.
There would be dangers having a Heaven Domain Expert on their side, so they decided to attack Darkness City.There were several main reason for this battle.
First was a demonstration of power.Darkness City was a city with decent power in the eastern area, so once the Eastern Territory King destroyed Darkness City, the hundreds of influences would pledge their allegiance without fighting.This battle had a large meaning, mainly to shock everyone and to set an example.
