“Its demonic core?”
A huge jolt went through Meng Lei, and he hurriedly grabbed the demonic and inspected it. True enough, he could sense the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s divine spirit’s aura inside it. Meng Lei was overjoyed right away—the Ice Demon Prefecture Master was still alive!
“The destructive power of self-destruction may be great, but demonic cores are objects manifested from demonic power, one’s divine spirit, and the origin of laws of nature. They are firm and indestructible, so they won’t be broken by the power generated from self-destruction,” explained Dodola with a smile.
Meng Lei nodded repeatedly. Then, he released his divine cognition, sent it into the demonic core, and began to inspect it. The demonic core was undamaged. This meant that the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s divine spirit was definitely unharmed. At best, it might have sunk into a deep sleep.
True enough, as Meng Lei inspected the demonic core, the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s divine spirit also gradually awakened. At once, it let out a mad, furious roar full of immense hatred. “You bastard! You forced me to self-destruct and destroyed my demonic body! I’ll never let you off even if I were to fall into the depths of hell!”
“Hehe! It’s great that you’re still alive!”
Meng Lei licked his lips. Then, the power of his divine spirit gushed forth and began to furiously attack the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s divine spirit in an attempt to thoroughly kill it.
To deities and demons, the true core of their existences were their divine spirits. As long as their divine spirit was still alive, then they would be considered alive. It was only when their divine spirit was destroyed and dissipated that they would truly be dead.
Therefore, Meng Lei wanted to kill the Ice Demon Prefecture Master once more.
“Argghhhh!”
The Ice Demon Prefecture Master roared furiously in pain and agony. However, without its demonic body, its divine spirit was as though a tree without its roots—it couldn’t withstand Meng Lei’s attacks at all. Gradually, it began to break down.
In the end...
“Ding! 1 Ice Demon God killed. 62 million Divinity Crystals gained!”
“Haha! One’s effort should always be rewarded. Now, this feels much better!”
Chapter 334: New Prefecture Master, Ice Demon Shrine
Earning 62 million Divinity Crystals did not just make up for the 10 million spent on enhancing the Netherworld Divine Fire. It also meant a 52-million profit!
One word—way too satisfying!
“And the prefecture treasury, I have to find it! The wealth of a mid-level Great Demon God accumulated over its entire life must be plenteous!”
Meng Lei had Dodola continue the search while he started to read the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s divine spirit fragments.
Other than knowing the treasury’s exact location, the memory itself was a precious treasure which Meng Lei had to dig into.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As he continued reading, the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s memory played out swiftly in his mind.
After over an hour, Meng Lei finally completed the reading process. He let out a long breath of pent-up air as a hint of a smile dashed across his face.
“Dodola, have you found anything yet?”
Meng Lei teased.
“Found what? There was not even the slightest trace of it.”
“Hahaha, that’s normal.” Meng Lei laughed. “The treasury wasn’t here in the first place!”
“Not here?” Dodola paused. “Then where is it?”
“The Ice Demon Prefecture Master wasn’t in the prefecture usually as it stayed in the Ice Demon Snow Mountain most of the time, cultivating in the extreme cold on top of the mountain,” Meng Lei explained. “All its treasures, collections, and wealth are stored there!”
“So where is the Ice Demon Snow Mountain?” Dodola asked.
“Follow me.”
Meng Lei smiled faintly as he was about to leave with Dodola. Just then, a dozen of the Great Demon Gods who were previously watching the battle surrounded him suddenly.
Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.
What are they trying to do? Perhaps they are trying to take advantage of the situation?
The reality proved that Meng Lei overthought it. These Great Demon Gods flew over and bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Prefecture Master!”
It was an expression of goodwill.
Meng Lei nodded slightly. “Stand down the formalities.”
“Your prowess is unfathomable. Defeating Cador to become the new Prefecture Master is a blessing to the prefecture and also our great honor!”
A Great Demon God said respectfully, “Please allow us to carry out any orders you have, and we will bend our backs to the task until our dying day!”
The other Great Demon Gods also expressed their willingness to serve Meng Lei as his tools.
“Great!”
Meng Lei was satisfied with their attitude. He smiled and said, “I was born rapacious, and I have an eye for things like Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and Divinity Crystals. If you are free, you can help me find more of these treasures!”
Upon hearing that, the Great Demon Gods only had swearing and curses in their minds.
We expressed our goodwill only as a formality, not literally serving you! And you actually start ordering us around? Do you not know the way of the world, or you thought you’re an actual Prefecture Master?
The Great Demon Gods were dissing Meng Lei secretly in their minds. To be honest, the previous Prefecture Master had never ordered them around before—not for this one, though.
“Oh, one more thing, three days later will be my 25th birthday.” Meng Lei continued. “I’ll let you all settle the birthday feast. If I’m not pleased with the feast or the presents are undesirable, I’ll be furious!”
Having said that, Meng Lei left with Dodola, leaving behind the confused Great Demon Gods.
It’ll be your 25th birthday three days later?
th birthday?
Who are you trying to fool?
If you’re not at least 1,000 years old, I’ll change my surname to yours!
