As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1737: 453: The Recruitment Plan of 12 Demon Gods, Lord Dog Long Time No See in Qi Tian City

“My Lord.”

When Li Che showed up, Gu Yinxuan quickly ceased drawing out the essence blood and venom.

Being the Poison Saint, he possessed a fierce fascination with all sorts of poisons, particularly those from a Demon God at the First Disaster Second Tribulation Realm.

Li Che looked over at Gu Yinxuan, showing a soft smile on his face.

In order to beat the clock and quickly settle the issue with the Night Bat Demon God, Li Che had to deploy his hidden asset, none other than Gu Yinxuan.

Gu Yinxuan, gripping the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill in one hand and the Three-legged Golden Toad Pendant in the other, left the Night Bat Demon God completely vulnerable in an instant, enabling Li Che—bolstered by the surging might of the Sea Flipping Nine Infants—to dominate and slay him.

Buzz——

A swirling plume of dark smoke coalesced, unveiling the soul-seizing form of the Night Bat Demon God that promptly appeared, his wings tucking in as he shifted into a somewhat eerie human shape, complete with a pair of vicious fangs bared.

Li Che decided against devouring the Night Bat Demon God via the Ten Fierce Brushwork to bolster the Nine Infants; instead, he opted to seize his soul.

In the end, the Night Bat Demon God held considerable value, ideal for positioning near the Black Bull Demon God Venerable as either a covert agent or a setup for betrayal—options that proved highly practical.

At first, the Night Bat Demon God acted as the Big Black Bull’s infiltrator among the Netherworld Ox Demon, but Li Che chose a straightforward method to flip him, guaranteeing unwavering allegiance.

The Underworld’s techniques truly outstripped the wildest dreams of these demons.

The Night Bat Demon God himself was left in shock.

The Underworld isn’t some upright organization—at first sight, it screams demon sect!

Li Che gave the Night Bat Demon God certain directives, and thanks to the soul capture’s effect, his loyalty was total, compelling him to obey Li Che’s orders without question—a dominance that exceeded the hierarchical control typical in the Demon Race.

“My Lord, when the Equal Heaven Temple’s inheritance unlocks, my subordinate’s ultrasonic detection will swiftly scout for treasures, hunting down Dao Yun Divine Crystal, Divinity Crystal, and various other items; plus, venturing into Strange Que would let us pinpoint and follow Divine Attribute Crystal Mines!”

The Night Bat Demon God boasted confidently about his skills, presenting them like prized gems.

Upon catching this, Li Che’s eyes lit up as he grasped the vital contributions the Night Bat Demon God made while serving Big Black Bull, which set his emotions into motion.

It has to be said that Big Black Bull is incredibly lavish, handing over such a precious demonic prodigy straight to him.

Li Che sent the Night Bat Demon God back to resume his hidden investigations, as Gu Yinxuan nearby inclined his head and shared updates on his latest experiments: “To My Lord, after my subordinate’s three hundred sixty-seven demises, I’ve achieved major breakthroughs on the [Thousand Bone Centipede Powder], ranked eighth in the Heavenly Poison Divine Pill Scripture.”

“My subordinate figures that roughly one hundred eighty more deaths could finalize the Thousand Bone Centipede Powder.”

Gu Yinxuan delivered these words with a touch of thrill.

Li Che listened, and the corners of his mouth jerked, caught off guard a bit.

Silently, have you perished that many times already?

“Old Gu, you’ve put in so much effort…”

Li Che found himself compelled to remark.

At these words, a faint grin surfaced on Gu Yinxuan’s precise features: “My Lord overpraises me; dying is simply my responsibility.”

Gu Yinxuan retreated, carrying off the Night Bat Demon God’s essence blood and venom to experiment with fresh poisons.

Li Che wasted no time, pulling out the Night Bat Demon God’s demon core and starting to drain its demonic power to strengthen the [Ten Thousand Demons Emperor] Dao Fruit.

The absorption rate of the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit proved astonishingly fast, finishing the task nearly without notice.

Toying with the demon core that gleamed like a glowing orb, a spark danced in Li Che’s gaze.

His thoughts swirled around the plot targeting Big Black Bull.

Regarding this Demon God Venerable endangering his daughter’s well-being, Li Che refused to take him lightly.

All at once, Li Che remembered the gathering around the round table where many demon gods assembled under Big Black Bull’s direction, and a subtle smile tugged at the edges of his mouth.

“Twelve Demon Gods altogether—surely that’s not the full tally of Demon Gods in the Demon Race across the Ten Thousand Rivers of the human world… It might just represent those loyal to Black Bull Demon God Venerable.”

Li Che mused to himself.

Li Che’s knowledge of the Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Rivers of the human world remained quite scant, igniting a surge in his chest.

The Night Bat Demon God, having departed moments before, came back into view.

“My Lord desires insight into the total might of the Demon Race in the human world?”

Hearing this, the Night Bat Demon God held back no details: “The Demon Race here in the human world draws aid from the Gui Que Demon Clan in the All Gods Camp’s [Deceit Demon Cave]; across the Ten Thousand Rivers in the human world, two Demon God Supremes and six Demon God Venerables exist… The number of Demon Gods is even higher.”

“Five centuries back, the Demon Race didn’t boast so many Demon Gods; their growth surged only after seizing Qi Tian City and linking up with [Deceit Demon Cave], allowing the Demon Race to flourish wildly.”

The Night Bat Demon God murmured softly.

Li Che felt a mild jolt at this revelation.

Could the Demon Race really be this powerful?!

Still, this was just how Li Che viewed their prowess.

To be fair, this represented the complete lineup of mighty beings in the entire Demon Race of the human world, in comparison to the Human Race…

The Human Race boasts entities like Great Vista, Da Li, Wushen Mountain, the Western Regions Buddha Land, and more besides.

When combining all those mighty organizations, their overall strength likely doesn’t lag far behind the Demon Race’s.

A Supreme earns the title upon attaining the Three Calamities Divine Tribulation level, whereas Venerable serves as an honorific for Two Calamities Divine Tribulation experts.

Take Big Black Bull, for instance—he’s a Demon God Venerable at the Second Calamity.

As for the Human Race, do they have any powerhouses at the Three Calamities Divine Tribulation?

They absolutely do; it’s just that Li Che hasn’t crossed paths with them yet, and moreover, the Heaven and Earth Will imposes strict limits on Three Calamities and Two Calamities Realm giants, keeping them from frequent outings and thus narrowing Li Che’s ways to learn about them.

“My Lord, have no worries—in the human world, Demon God Supremes are barred from intervening; not even in Qi Tian City is it feasible… Hence, across the Ten Thousand Rivers, the Demon God Supremes always stay active inside Strange Que.”
