The Heavenly Demon Book maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man, with no other choice but to submit. Chu Yuan understood his thoughts but didn't care, as long as he left the cage, he would be completely loyal to him. "Heavenly Demon Book, how did you get in here?" Duan Qingshan curiously asked. "Because of the Truth Holy Land," said the Heavenly Demon Book. Duan Qingshan exclaimed, "The ancient Truth Holy Land, seeking the true truth, has existed for so long due to the existence of truth, it can be called an eternal-level power. That truth's power is at the same level as your book ancestor, and it actually provoked them." "It wasn't that I provoked them, but at the beginning of this era, we encountered a pursuit by the Truth Holy Land. During our escape, I accidentally fell into a desperate situation, but my friend, the Demonic Path Book, was captured by them. I don't know what his situation is now." The Heavenly Demon Book was filled with anger and hatred. "The Demonic Path Book records the true essence of the demonic path. Falling into the hands of the Truth Holy Land, there's almost no chance of escaping." "Let's discuss other matters after leaving the cage. Heavenly Demon Book, previously the Toxic Demon Emperor was dealing with you. Before I leave this place, follow me to deal with that Toxic Demon Emperor." "Emperor, let's go then!" At this time, in a part of the cage, a gigantic star was shrouded in poisonous mist, sinister and evil. Even a primordial god inhaling it would have their entire body become infected and their soul perish. This was the Demonic Emperor Star opened by the Toxic Demon Emperor. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 At this moment, in a hall, there sat an old man in a green robe with a hideous face, eyes triangular and glowing with a green sheen, making anyone fearful upon seeing him, seated on a Demon Emperor throne forged of white bones. Beneath him, many people knelt, shivering with terror, heads bowed low. "Useless, all of you are useless. None of the tasks I gave you were accomplished. What use do I have for keeping you around?" The Toxic Demon Emperor, irritable and cruel, struck out with one palm, causing a few screams as boils suddenly formed on several people, which then burst open as they screamed in agony. The screams were heartbreaking. They didn't die immediately, but instead lingered in the most excruciating death, their bodies turning into pus. At the forefront of this crowd were three formidable origin-level experts, kneeling and trembling, as if they weren't the subordinates of the Toxic Demon Emperor but his slaves. Indeed, they were slaves of the Toxic Demon Emperor, subject to arbitrary killing and humiliation without any dignity. A woman, terrified, said, "We've done our best, but that Heavenly Demon Book is too formidable. He set up the Heavenly Demon Formation and we couldn't break through despite fighting desperately, no opponents for him." "Worthless creatures, daring to talk back. I didn't expect you to deal with the Heavenly Demon Book, but your failure to even penetrate his Heavenly Demon Kingdom is beyond disappointing. What use are you to me?" The Toxic Demon God was ruthless and cruel. Over long periods, he subdued several strong beings in the cage with his powerful strength and vicious methods, planting toxins and controlling their souls. He slapped the throne harshly. Immediately, the woman's face aged rapidly, her once beautiful face rotting, with large boils forming, and even foul-smelling poisonous water oozing from her body. She clutched her face, covered in boils, uncontrollably scratching with her hands, only to have large areas burst open upon contact. She screamed in agony, pleading for mercy from the Toxic Demon Emperor. "Emperor, please forgive her, we are all loyal to you!" Another tall man, kneeling on the ground, couldn't bear to see the woman's miserable state, begged for her forgiveness. "You are useless too!" The Toxic Demon Emperor's withered hand grasped the tall man's neck tightly, choking him: "I dislike useless things the most." The tall man struggled, "We still have value to you, we'll continue attacking the Heavenly Demon Book, please spare our lives." "This time, I'll spare you all once." The Toxic Demon Emperor, moody as always, released the tall man, retracting the poison, and said sinisterly, "You should know my methods, I can make you wish for life or death. Now, get out." "Thank you, Emperor, for sparing us." Having suffered such humiliation, they still had to kneel in gratitude, the inner shame beyond words. The woman wanted to use origin divine power to heal her injuries. "Stay in that state; I forbid you from recovering. Only when you break through the Heavenly Demon Book can you recover." The Toxic Demon Emperor cruelly commanded. After leaving the temple. The tall man looked at Ying Xue, whose face was full of boils, knowing what a proud woman she was. Now she had to maintain that terrifying appearance, suffering trampling humiliation, worse than death. Back then, Ying Xue was like an independent and proud winter plum. They too were once figures of power and prestige, but upon encountering the eighth realm Toxic Demon Emperor, they fell to this tragic fate. The Toxic Demon Emperor was too insidious. When trapped here, he suddenly ambushed them, infusing them with poison and controlling their souls. Ying Xue, with every step, had decaying pus dripping from her body, disheartening, her eyes vacant and lifeless. "But we can't die; our souls are controlled by the Emperor with soul toxins. The Emperor excels in the Great Soul Technique and the Great Poison Technique, leaving us without the right to die." The tall man felt sorrowful and helpless, having thought of death countless times, but being unable to do it due to soul control. He knew that the Toxic Demon Emperor didn't kill them purely because they still had value. The Emperor would kill him for replenishment once he ran out of Eternal Matter. He was merely livestock, at the mercy of the Toxic Demon Emperor. He didn't dare to curse, knowing that if he did, the Toxic Demon Emperor would find out, subjecting him to even worse-than-death torment. "Xu Shan, Ying Xue failed her task, and being punished by the Emperor is deserved. But you, barely able to protect yourself, dared to plead for her, truly seeking death." At this moment, another man mocked as he walked over. Xu Shan clenched his fist, angrily saying, "You dog, if it weren't for you, Ying Xue and I wouldn't have ended up ." "Foolish creature, it's exactly due to such idiocy that you repeatedly receive punishment from the Emperor. I've followed the Emperor for a long time. Being foolish as you are, you won't live long. Having become the Emperor's dog, you ought to behave, or suffer!" Yao Mang shrugged indifferently, shamelessly. In Xu Shan's furious eyes, anger was about to explode. It was this person who collaborated with the Toxic Demon Emperor to ambush him, wishing to devour Yao Mang alive. "What good is anger? What can you do to me? I'm loyal to the Emperor; I'll live longer than you. Haha, even as a dog of the Emperor, you can't do it properly, be angry, I delight in your rage." Yao Mang provoked Xu Shan, enjoying seeing his helpless state, and was glad to see others in more misery than himself. Xu Shan trembled violently, and his body was entwined by countless toxins, his soul racked with pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at him, punishment from the Emperor. "This is your punishment."
