Chapter 398: The Demon God Emperor
Li Meng smiled faintly as his gaze swept over the demon forces.
Quite impressive, the demons were indeed strong.
There were more than ten divine-level experts alone.
And this was just the divine-level warriors stationed at the main base.
There were probably even more divine-level experts leading the armies in battle.
The five closest ones were all divine-level 90+.
Among them, the Ghost Beastman's level had even reached 99.
He was only one step away from the Holy Spirit realm.
"Wait, what is this..."
Li Meng's gaze suddenly stopped as he walked towards a divine-level Ghost Beastman Demon General.
The movement startled the Demon Kings, and they quickly retreated.
Adelaide opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.
As Li Meng passed by, the demon forces made way for him, fear evident in their eyes.
Li Meng made his way smoothly to the Ghost Beastman Demon General.
He stopped in front of him and looked him up and down.
The Ghost Beastman Demon General looked at the human in front of him with a wary expression.
After observing for a moment, Li Meng grinned.
"To think you were possessed by a demon and stolen of your body, truly pathetic!"
At these words, the Ghost Beastman Demon General's expression changed slightly.
His golden eyes suddenly erupted with hellish flames.
"Boom!"
The next moment, with a loud crash, a figure was sent flying.
Li Meng slapped the Ghost Beastman Demon General away.
A powerful shockwave exploded, sweeping through the Demon King Hall.
"Boom!"
The Ghost Beastman Demon General crashed through the wall and flew out of the hall.
He flew several kilometers before finally crashing into the ruins below.
The demon forces in the hall stared in shock at the hole created by the flying Ghost Beastman.
Li Meng casually clapped his hands and turned, walking expressionlessly towards the Demon King's throne.
His eyes swept over the various demon races in the hall.
"What a bunch of ugly freaks, just looking at them makes me uneasy!"
The appearance of most demons resembled insectoid or beast-like features, with dark-colored skin.
Li Meng's words caused the demon experts to glare with anger.
How dare he call them ugly?
Were they not more handsome than any human?
"Hmm, now this one's a beauty!"
As he passed by a slender figure, Li Meng stopped.
She wore a purple gown, and her head was adorned with exquisite ornaments.
Her skin was pale and smooth, almost flawless.
Though a demon, she resembled a human perfectly.
Li Meng turned to face her, lifting her chin with his hand.
The Moon Demon Clan Demon General forced a smile as she faced Li Meng's gaze.
Li Meng smiled faintly and let go of her chin.
He then ascended the steps and sat down on the central Demon King's throne.
As he surveyed the hall full of demon experts with varying expressions, Li Meng grinned.
"I'll give you two choices, submit or die!"
His voice echoed through the hall.
These words made the demon forces' expressions change slightly.
Was he trying to control the entire demon race?
The five Demon Kings exchanged glances, their faces shifting in reaction.
"If you refuse, then I'll just have to devour you all!"
Li Meng smiled greedily as he looked at the demon forces.
Devouring these demon experts would offer numerous benefits.
Both physically and spiritually, his strength would grow further.
Devour them?
The greed in Li Meng's eyes as he sat on the throne sent a chill down the spines of the demons.
What kind of being was he?
Was he a shape-shifted monster?
Adelaide stepped forward to the foot of the stairs.
He placed his hand over his chest and respectfully bowed.
"Is the blood moon in the sky related to you, my lord?"
Li Meng narrowed his eyes, sizing up Adelaide.
He must be one of the Demon Kings.
The blood moon he mentioned was likely referring to the massive red magic circle above the Southern Continent.
"Little White, that power on him must be a fragment of the divine essence," Li Meng thought.
[Yes, it is the fragment of my divine essence that scattered when I fell.]
No wonder the Demon Kings could grant power to other beings.
"Do you want me to collect the divine essence fragments?" Li Meng asked.
[No need. If I recover, the Life Temple will detect it and execute me.]
It seemed Little White would not be able to restore his position as the ruler of the realm.
"Well, it will be done by my hand!"
At this, Adelaide's expression changed.
He half-knelt, bowing his head.
"The Demon King Adelaide is willing to submit to your majesty!"
This gesture from Adelaide caused the other demon forces in the hall to exchange glances.
The Ghost Beastmen, one after another, kneeled.
"The Moon Demon Clan is willing to submit to your majesty!"
"The Magic Mantis Clan is willing to submit to your majesty!"
"The Bull Demon Clan is willing to submit to your majesty!"
"The Lizard Demon Clan is willing to submit to your majesty!"
The other four Demon Kings followed suit, swearing allegiance.
As the Demon Kings knelt, all the demon forces in the hall followed, kneeling in unison.
Li Meng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the demon forces kneeling before him.
Whether they were sincere or not didn't matter.
Both goblins and demons were mere tools to him.
What he needed were obedient tools.
Those who didn't listen would be discarded.
"Very well, from now on, the Demon God Emperor will lead you all to unite the entire Augus Star!"
Unite Augus Star?
At these words, the eyes of the Demon Kings lit up.
The concept of a planet was not something just anyone could understand.
"Long live the Demon God Emperor!"
"Long live the Demon God Emperor!"
Under the lead of the Demon Kings, the demon forces shouted in unison.
Thus, Li Meng, in his position of strength, became the Demon God Emperor.
The former Demon King Palace had now become the Demon Emperor's Palace.
That afternoon, in the Demon Emperor's Palace, Demon Emperor Hall.
The five thrones that were once there were removed, leaving only one throne.
Li Meng sat on the throne, deep in thought.
"Little White, I feel like something is calling to me!"
[That is the call of the ancient star realm's law power.]
"So, if I construct an interstellar teleportation magic circle, I can travel to the ancient star realm?"
[Yes, but the interstellar teleportation magic circle requires a space law divine essence to drive it.]
"Space law divine essence? Where can I find one?"
[I don't know, you will have to search for it yourself.]
It seemed that traveling to the ancient star realm wouldn't be an easy task.
"Little White, you haven't forgotten our bet, have you?"
[Master, you won. Please open your mouth.]
Upon hearing this, Li Meng opened his mouth.
A translucent little insect flew out from his mouth.
Water-blue magical energy burst from the insect's body.
The insect, wrapped in water-blue energy, slowly began to take human form.
From its bones to its flesh, the figure gradually took shape.
This was the transformation process.
Before long, a beautiful figure appeared before Li Meng's eyes.
She had long, jet-black hair that reached her waist.
Her skin was flawless and translucent.
She had the face of an East Asian human.
She was incredibly beautiful, perfect in every way.
Her naked body floated before Li Meng.
The next moment, she opened her eyes.
The water-blue magical energy surged into her body.
Floating in the air, she slowly descended to the ground.
