Had they not submitted just now, they would definitely also have been reduced to ashes like the demon army!
The thought of it alone sent chills down their spines!
“Master is simply too impressive!”
Bubbles and the others were also fairly frightened. The sight of billions of demons struggling and shrieking as they perished in the sea of fire was simply too brutal, too tragic, and too astounding. It made their blood run cold.
Then, Bubbles asked, “What do we do next, Master?”
“Let’s take care of the Beast People Empire’s matters. We’ll head to the Demonic Dragon Continent and pay that Demonic Dragon a visit when we’re done.”
Meng Lei cast a glance at the Beast People Empire people and quickly made a decision.
“Yes, Master!”
Bubbles and the others naturally didn’t have any objections to that.
They went over to the Beast God Pass’ city gates. The Beast People Empire half-deities, the Beast Emperor, and all the court officials quickly hurried over to greet them, lest they infuriate Meng Lei with their slow speed.
Bubbles barked fiercely, “Where’s the Beast Emperor?”
“Here! I’m here!”
Grom, the Beast Emperor, hastily bowed.
“If memory serves me right,” Meng Lei gazed at Grom and said, “The decree that I issued should already have reached the Beast People Empire three months ago. Why hasn’t the Beast People Empire taken any action even now?”
The Beast Emperor naturally knew what the decree that Meng Lei was referring to was. At once, he became incredibly fearful.
He knew what Meng Lei was doing—after all, revenge was a dish best served cold. What was he to do now? How should he explain this?
The Beast Emperor stammered, “Your Holiness, I—”
“Forget it. There’s no need to explain anymore.”
Meng Lei waved and said, “Since you’ve decided to stand against me, then you’ll have to suffer due consequences. On account of your status as the Beast Emperor, I’ll grant you a respectable death. Take your own life!”
Boom!
Thunderstruck, the Beast Emperor fell limp onto the ground. He knew that everything was over for him! All over!
He no longer had any way out!
All the officials were on tenterhooks and shaking like leaves. If the Beast Emperor had been ordered to take his own life, then what about them? How would Meng Lei punish them?
“As for all of you,” Meng Lei turned to the officials and said, “Your titles shall be stripped from you, and you’ll be demoted to commoners. Your clans are to be dissolved, and you are to hand over all your land and riches. Be honest and proper commoners from now on!”
“Thank you for showing us mercy, Your Holiness!”
At once, the officials were overjoyed, and they repeatedly bowed in gratitude. They had thought that they were doomed just now, but little did they think that they wouldn’t need to die. They had managed to keep their lives!
Meng Lei turned to Puhaman and said, “I’ll entrust the Beast People Empire matters to you, Puhaman. Do as you deem fit!”
Puhaman promised, “I thank Master for his trust in me. I definitely won’t let you down!”
Then, Meng Lei’s gaze turned to the direction of the Far Northern Icelands. He said, “Now that all the Beast People Empire matters have been taken care of, it’s time to head to the Demonic Dragon Continent!”
“Yes, Master!”
...
Vast and wide, the Far Northern Icelands were covered in ice and snow all year round. With pure white snowfields and lofty snow mountains, it was a world fully filled with ice and snow. Rarely did outsiders ever step into the area.
However, a group of unique beings had occupied a certain corner of the Far Northern Icelands. Demonic aura roiled around them—they were actually all Demon Overlords, and they numbered up to 100 of them!
These Demon Overlords formed an encirclement that protected a gigantic teleportation magic circle.
The teleportation magic circle was very big and spanned 10 miles in diameter. An infinite number of elemental crystals were embedded in it.
From this, one could easily imagine that the magic circle’s teleportation ability must no doubt be extremely powerful. It could definitely teleport more than a million demons each time.
Indeed, the demon army currently wreaking havoc in the Beast People Empire had come to Heaven’s Vault Continent using this exact teleportation magic circle. Therefore, it was evident just how crucial the teleportation magic circle was.
“I’m so bored!”
“I’m dying of boredom!”
“Why do Klas and the others get to lead the army and invade Heaven’s Vault Continent while we can only stay here obediently and guard the teleportation magic circle?”
“Exactly! The thought of it alone pisses me off. Why do they get to go while I don’t?”
“Those are living beings on mortals’ existential planes, y’know! They must taste very fresh and delicious. The thought of Klas and the others currently enjoying delicious blood and flesh makes me drool!”
“This goddamn mission!”
“No, this won’t do! I must talk to Lord Anton and Lord Baker next time and get them to put us in charge of invading mortals’ existential planes instead!”
“Next time? Who knows when that’ll be?”
“Exactly! I’m already 39,872-years-old, yet I’ve only experienced something like this twice. Who knows when the next time will be?”
“The thought of it pisses me off. Speaking of which, though, how long do you think our demon army will take to occupy Heaven’s Vault Continent this time?”
“No more than seven days! In no more than seven days, our demon army will definitely be able to flatten Heaven’s Vault Continent, wipe out all the living beings on this existential plane, and turn this place into the demons’ paradise!”
“Indeed! With the demon army’s incredible prowess, we’ll need only seven days to completely take over...”
The 100 Demon Overlords chatted and exchanged comments with one another to pass the time.
They were bored to tears from
