Chapter 223: Chapter 225 Void Level

"You want to adopt me as your foster son?" Mu Can looked at Anxi with a playful face, his expression indescribably cold.

Mu Can knew that in the Demon World, the adoption of foster sons did occur quite frequently. To say foster son, it was more apt to call them lapdogs. Any cultivator with a bit of ambition would not casually become someone’s foster son.

Now, Anxi actually wanted to adopt Mu Can as his foster son, which was already considered an insult on a personal level.

"How about it? After all, without you, I wouldn’t have discovered the wonderful uses of the Heart of Ferocious Beast. If I adopt you as my foster son, once I unify the entire Mortal World, I can let you pick one-fourth of the territories to govern. By then, you will be second only to me, above tens of thousands. Wouldn’t that be delightful?"

Anxi seemed intoxicated with his own fantasies, looking up at the sky as if envisioning the day he would reign over the lands of the Mortal World, with all people paying homage and the subjects of the Three Realms under his command.

"Do you think you’re very beautiful?" Mu Can suddenly asked, startling Anxi Demon Venerable, who was deep in his fantasies.

Is this Silver Armor master really out of his mind? Talking about swords and blades, and now asking if he himself is very pretty.

Anxi’s face darkened with frustration, beginning to regret his decision. If he really adopted such a person as his foster son, was it really a reliable thing to do?

"Beautiful? I never care about appearances." Anxi said indifferently. Truth be told, Anxi Demon Venerable usually portrayed the image of a quite handsome middle-aged man, his face embellished with several sinister Demon Patterns.

"Uh, I think you misunderstood. What I meant was, if you think you’re very pretty, don’t get too carried away with those thoughts."

"Wang! You kid, your mouth is so mean, you’re killing me with laughter." Wang Cai had initially not understood Mu Can’s words, but now realized that Mu Can had been waiting here for him.

"If you’re seeking your own demise, there’s nothing more I can say." Anxi Demon Venerable’s face turned ashen, as this was the second time Mu Can had made snide remarks at him. Even a clay figure has a hint of anger, let alone the grand Demon Venerable.

Although he really wanted to subdue Mu Can, at this juncture, the only option left was to kill him.

"Wang Wang Wang! Kid, this black head is so arrogant. I’m not one to start trouble, woof, but if he wants to adopt me as his foster son, I can’t stand it."

Wang Cai’s eyes shifted, beginning to stir up trouble. In reality, there was no need for Wang Cai to do so, as Mu Can was already seething with rage. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he couldn’t wait to kill Anxi Demon Venerable on the spot.

Enveloped in a swirl of blood energy, Anxi Demon Venerable looked like an Asura who had emerged from Hell, the dense slaughter energy forming a vortex of blood energy above his head. This absorbed the remnants of the Demon Clan’s energy killed in battle, making Anxi Demon Venerable exceptionally powerful, his oppressive aura even permeating through the Silver Armor, making Mu Can feel its intensity.

"Wang! Wang Cai, if you keep stirring my anger here, after I refine him into an Elixir, don’t even dream about getting any." Mu Can sternly spoke to a cunning looking Wang Cai.

Wang Cai’s smiling canine face suddenly changed, the smile freezing on his face.

"Let’s talk nicely, don’t be like this," Wang Cai said sheepishly.

Huff!

Anxi Demon Venerable swung his blood-colored giant axe towards Mu Can with a force as if opening the heavens and splitting the earth. A bloody cold gleam flashed across the blade, and its speed was so fast that it produced a cracking sound. Tiny fragments of space appeared on the surface of the axe, and there seemed to be signs of space tearing apart with this strike.

Although the spatial structure of the Mortal World is slightly weaker than that of the Demon World and Immortal World, it is not something ordinary powerhouses can break through. If the spatial rift is opened wide enough, it is possible to temporarily survive in the Void.

Such powerhouses are called Void Level powerhouses. In the Mortal World, only a handful of individuals can be called Void Level powerhouses, including the successive deans of Immortal Ancient Academy and those who have left Immortal Ancient Academy to explore by breaking through the void. In the Demon World, those who can become Void Level powerhouses are led by the Demon Ancestor and include the top ten ranked Demon Lords. In Immortal World, there are also very few Void Level powerhouses.

Boom!

A surge of killing intent suddenly invaded Mu Can’s body, instantly making him feel as if his perceptions were failing him. Even with the protection of the Reincarnation Pearl, the situation was dire, which could just show how formidable this sky-high killing intent was.

Buzz!

Wang Cai sensed something wrong with Mu Can and instantly activated the power of the Reincarnation Pearl, waking Mu Can from his stupor. Just as Mu Can opened his eyes, he saw a giant axe descending from the sky, fiercely chopping towards him. He quickly dodged to the side, utilizing his Breeze Realm movement technique to its utmost, leaving trailing afterimages. He barely avoided the earth-shattering strike, but the half of his wing behind him was fiercely struck by the axe.

Boom!

A tremendous force transmitted from the wings, and Mu Can’s whole body, sideways, was hurled away. In mid-air, he flapped his wings and spiraled up into the sky.

"Be careful. This Heart of Ferocious Beast is strange." Wang Cai also appeared solemn. Such a Ferocious Beast’s heart was unheard of as it even possessed its own consciousness, capable of absorbing Slaughter Energy to evolve.

"Nonsense, do I need you to tell me that? I feel like he’s getting stronger." Mu Can looked at Anxi Demon Venerable helplessly. From the start of the battle, Anxi Demon Venerable’s strength seemed to have multiplied several times.

"I have a feeling that this Heart of Ferocious Beast has been modified; it’s not simple."

Wang Cai scrutinized the domineering Anxi Demon Venerable, appearing quite solemn.

"I’ll make a move shortly to confine him. You bring out the Pill Furnace; together, we’ll hold him down."

As if making a big decision, Wang Cai pondered for a moment before speaking. It seemed his planned move to confine would come at a certain cost.

"Woof! This is a big loss. If you can’t successfully create the Elixir, don’t even think about advancing to the fourth layer this year," Wang Cai said to Mu Can, a pained expression on his face.

"Don’t worry, I’ve checked the Alchemy procedure, there’s absolutely no problem, just make sure you can confine him."

Mu Can nodded, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Today, no matter what, Anxi must be slain right here.

"Get ready, I will activate the power of the Reincarnation Pearl from the fourth layer beyond my level. After three breaths, b...
