Chapter 461: Chapter 96: The Five Great Demon Lords

“You want to use my hand to kill your enemy?” Zhang Xuan guessed the other party’s intention.

“Killing one is still killing. I’m already dead, why let my enemy live freely?” Frost Demon Lord snorted coldly.

“That is indeed…”

Zhang Xuan couldn’t find a reason to refute.

I may not live well, but I must not let my enemy live well.

“Don’t worry, they are all unforgivable great demons. Each death is well deserved, and you don’t need to have any psychological burden!”

Seeing him remain silent, thinking this young man had a moral cleanliness, Frost Demon Lord couldn’t help but speak.

“I don’t have moral cleanliness!”

Zhang Xuan shook his head: “What’s the second thing?”

Frost Demon Lord: “The second thing is a bit difficult, and it requires borrowing some luck from the Xuanji Sect!”

Zhang Xuan looked puzzled: “Xuanji Sect? Luck?”

Frost Demon Lord nodded: “Yes, there are eight kinds of primary destinies in the world, excluding yours. They are Origin, Power, Influence, Wealth, Fame, Physique, Spirit, and Luck. The Xuanji Sect represents the last one, ‘Luck’.”

Zhang Xuan was enlightened.

The eight primary destinies that have existed since ancient times in the Source World, he had heard of before, but he didn’t really understand them because he hadn’t had contact with them.

Frost Demon Lord continued: “Origin is the source and core destination of Fate Masters—the Heaven Mandate Hall! It is responsible for all Fate Masters’ assessments and certifications.”

“Power, you have had contact with it, is the foundation of the Tianli Empire where it has multiple branches, such as civil, military, criminal, labor, household, etc., with each reaching Tier 2, making it one of the most powerful forces on the mainland.”

“Influence represents prestige and momentum and is controlled by the oldest Four Great Clans of the Source World. However, they rarely appear, and people only know their names but hardly see them.”

“Wealth refers to fortune, specifically the Heavenly Dome Pavilion, which issues the Origin Currency and accumulates the wealth of the world. Although the Wanxiang Sect is very rich, it is nothing in comparison.”

“Fame is composed of the Eight Great Holy Lands, but they rarely emerge, and I have lived for thousands of years without seeing them either.”

“Physique refers to the body. It’s said that this lineage has one inheritor per generation, but do not underestimate this one person. The Eternal Golden Body is indestructible and without attachment. Even Emperor Fusheng is cautious of them.”

“Spirit represents the limit of soul energy cultivation. The physical limit is the Eternal Golden Body, and the soul limit is called the ‘Eternal Divine Soul’. Those who achieve this have a soul akin to substance, can think for a thousand years, and possess limitless strength. Like the body, it’s a single lineage inheritance, and no one knows where they are.”

“As for Luck, it may be the weakest of the eight primary destinies, but no one can live without it, and no one dares to offend it. It refers to fortune and destiny. Many powerful individuals and forces borrow luck before significant events. Just a little is enough to make any plan twice as effective. The only channel to connect to the destiny of Luck is the… Xuanji Sect!”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Until now, he had finally gained a certain understanding of the eight great destinies of the Source World.

“Is it easy to borrow luck?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course not!”

Frost Demon Lord rolled his eyes: “Borrowing luck requires a price, either lifespan, future misfortune, health, or cultivation being restricted… In short, without enough cost, luck is impossible to obtain. Even with enough cost, it may not be obtained.”

Speaking of this, Frost Demon Lord hesitated for a moment and said: “I suspect that to capture me, Blue Cloud Venerable borrowed luck, because I was originally not leaving the house but suddenly had an intuitive impulse to leave and changed my route, actively falling into his ambush…”

Zhang Xuan was surprised.

He had always thought luck was just a nebulous concept, but he didn’t expect anyone to actually comprehend it.

If that’s the case, indeed borrowing a bit of luck is necessary to go to the so-called Law Heavenly Capital.

Even if there’s danger, there might be a chance to escape.

“Should I borrow luck first, or kill first?”

Understanding the other’s arrangement, Zhang Xuan asked.

“Of course, kill first! Firstly, luck is not easy to borrow, and secondly, once borrowed, it cannot be controlled. If it’s used up during the assassination, wouldn’t it be a waste?”

Frost Demon Lord said.

“That is indeed…” Zhang Xuan nodded.

The purpose of borrowing luck was to successfully save Empyrean Kong shi. Borrowing it early might be exhausted during the hunting of Demon Sect experts.

“Then let’s prepare to leave. I have four fellow sect members who follow the direct orders of the Blood Venerate Demon Emperor…”

Frost Demon Lord detailed his situation, and Zhang Xuan gained a certain understanding of the Demon Sect.

Under the Demon Lord, there are four Great Demon Emperors. Each Demon Emperor has several Demon Lords, and he is one of the five under the Blood Venerate Demon Emperor.

The other four are Red Flame Demon Monarch, Ghost Bone Demon Monarch, Yin Sha Demon Monarch, and Rot Heart Demon Monarch.

“They all have harmed me and are my enemies. If you can, kill them all, I would be delighted…”

After the introduction, a trace of ferocity appeared in Frost Demon Lord’s eyes.

The Demons have always been cold and heartless. So-called colleagues are just relationships where you want to kill me, and I want to kill you, without the slightest kindness.

“Start with the easiest one to kill!”

Interrupting him, Zhang Xuan asked.

He didn’t doubt the other party’s intention to use him to kill their enemies, or if they wanted to use the Demon Sect’s hand to get rid of him.

Soul Sacrifice allowed him to know the other’s mind at any time, without fear of being deceived.

Frost Demon Lord hesitated: “Among us five Demon Monarchs, our strengths are similar. Generally, it’s not easy to surpass each other, but… there’s one acknowledged weakest.”

“Of course, it’s not the weakest, but… he has a significant defect! At this time, he becomes weak… making it the best time to hunt.”

“Who? When?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“Yin Sha Demon Monarch!”

Frost Demon Lord explained: “He practices the ‘Nine Yin Corpse Refining Technique,’ which has a significant defect. At the Zi hour, the yin energy reverses, and he needs to consume a baby’s essence to replenish his strength. At this time, the power of life and death conflicts, making him the weakest. This is the best time to kill him.”

“Hmm!” Zhang Xuan nodded.

As expected of a “colleague” from the same sect, they indeed know each other well.

With this information, a sneak attack would surely be twice as effective.

“Let’s go. Yin Sha Demon Monarch rules over the Shadowed Mountain, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away. It’s best to arrive before dark…”

Finished explaining, Frost Demon Lord said.

Having confirmed the first Demonic expert to kill, Zhang Xuan didn’t hesitate. He left the Wanxiang Sect, exited Tianli City, spread his wings, and immediately flew into the sky, disappearing from his original location in the blink of an eye.

The Light Singing Feather Robe given by Crown Prince Yuanqing had not been taken back and now came in handy.
