The Demonic World I designed
Chapter 1185 - 1182: Fear!

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1182: Fear!

She’s not Ziyue!

Almost in an instant, Wang Lingguan realized, even though he didn’t know how all this was accomplished.

Clearly, just now, no matter how you looked at that woman she was Ziyue, with weak power, the Space Law contained within the Demon Statue, and that aura - no mistake about it, yet just in that instant, she transformed!

That astonishing Sword Intent aside, he’s seen that familiar terrifying impact before. Over the years, having witnessed many figures alongside Elder Long, and many monsters, the only one to give such an impact was that guy from back then.

After all these years, he wouldn’t mistake it, that guy... it’s Chen Qing!

"Master, be careful!!"

Elder Long was also taken aback immediately, his body breaking out in goosebumps.

In that instant, a distant yet familiar feeling surged in his heart.

He remembers clearly, back then when they had just entered the New World, a group of world leaders either terminally ill or reaching their age limit, grasping at the final straw of Data Life, never took Chen Qing seriously at first.

At that time, they were most wary of Old Liu and Pu YunChuan, with Old Liu clearly having different intentions, and the powerful forces behind him posed easy threats, while Pu YunChuan as the first intelligent lifeform might create unpredictable traps in that unknown domain.

They never thought that the most vexing enemy would turn out to be a freshly graduated researcher.

In the New World, leading up to the Data Life plan and the Third World War, all strategic planning never considered Chen Qing as a threat, never saw him as an opponent.

It was exactly due to this negligence that they almost all hit rock bottom.

Who could have thought, that such an ordinary person, in a different environment, could unleash such formidable energy?

From the initial struggle to survive in the Demonic World, to later individual powerful evolution, this guy was always at the forefront, how our group could stand firm in this world was undeniably linked to him.

Back then, everyone had game intelligence, but only he could conquer those terrible demons one after another, only he could constantly devise solutions to problems, only he could turn the tables using small efforts for large gains.

Long ago, he didn’t believe in the saying that geniuses get buried in the Mortal World, always thinking it was an excuse for the weak. Only the weak complain about the environment, thinking they’re being smothered, real geniuses rise no matter the situation.

Yet Chen Qing changed his mind.

An ordinary postgraduate, seemingly so humble, who could have thought, a change of environment made him such a terrifying person.

He still remembers the lengths they went to get rid of Chen Qing, how many years they planned, back then not only did he have to fight against the world of demons but also against his own people, betrayed by allies, and backstabbed by subordinates.

Even then, until the last moment, he felt suffocated.

As if at any time that guy could rise up, turn the situation around, completely destroy the advantages established by him and his fellows.

Even after confirming his death, for many years in a row, he tirelessly hunted down remaining forces, afraid of any sort of leftover spark reigniting.

This feeling of suffocation persisted until long after Chen Qing’s death, slowly easing.

He never thought that one day such a familiar suffocating sensation would reappear!

"Chen Qing!!"

Elder Long’s eyes burst with cold light, his voice almost a roar, the terrifying intimidation almost compressing space into a mass, at that moment, it seemed as if the entire universe was under the control of the Heavenly Emperor.

This is where the strength of Emperor Dao Fruit lies, the grand momentum of the world is under the Emperor’s control.

Yet only Wang Lingguan, who knows the Emperor best, understands that while this power seems incredibly fearsome, in reality, it isn’t so. His master is bursting with power out of fear.

Just like someone with a gun, encountering something terrifying, frantically shooting.

His master... is afraid!!

"Long time no see!"

Ziyue’s figure altered, instantly transforming into Chen Qing’s form.

White Drawing’s ability is truly useful, no wonder back then so many players cursed Pu YunChuan on the forums, for his ability to conceive such a thing.

Wang Lingguan’s sense wasn’t wrong, they caught Ziyue just now and successfully judged her thoughts, everything was accurate.

Under that circumstance, after Ziyue opened the Twenty-Eight Constellations’ transmission channel to escape pursuit, the best way was for her to flee Heaven’s Court, with the White Tiger Star Palace being the best direction.

Because she possesses the token of White Tiger Star Lord.

It was her only escape route, Elder Long could obviously determine this, after all, he was a cunning and shrewd person, he must have accurately predicted Ziyue’s escape location.

Everything was according to plan, Ziyue’s reactions, Elder Long’s responses, all made sense.

To compel Ziyue, Elder Long was bound to use this Dao Fruit, to force Ziyue to close the channel, he could only rise with Dao Fruit, and at the moment he displayed Emperor Dao Fruit, was the best time to strike him!

"Your Majesty!!"

Wang Lingguan was actually very close, within three zhang of space. At this distance, for a powerhouse like him, it was an instant’s reach.

But even this little distance felt like a chasm as vast as the sky and earth, no matter how much he widened his eyes, that minuscule gap remained unattainable.

"Chen Qing!"

Elder Long’s white hair scattered, power fueled by anger... or perhaps within space, surged to its peak, the power of Emperor Dao Fruit governed the entire space, at this moment, in theory, he was at his strongest, invincible.

It should have been this way, yet for some reason, Elder Long’s heart lacked any confidence, even if Chen Qing at this moment seemed so weak.

His power was far inferior to before, back in the day, he was the world’s strongest, even if all Taoist Masters acted together, there was no certainty to thoroughly suppress him.

Now, he was worlds apart from what he once was, reasonably, he should easily crush him.

Yet for some reason, he was just uncertain, a bizarre terror engulfed his heart.

Why is this happening?

What exactly is going on?

"You’re still the same as before..." Chen Qing’s long sword emerged, amidst that terrifying power like a solitary leaf on a vast sea, yet he didn’t hesitate.

"Still a cunning politician, no matter how much power you wield, you’re still unsuitable as a player."

Elder Long’s pupils contracted, that phrase again, that phrase again!

What nonsense about being a player, isn’t it just being a Controller?

All these years, he’s mastered his power well, do you suppose you can be the same as back then?

Moreover, with such disparity now, where’s your chance of victory?

"Die!!"

The earth-shattering roar seemed to shatter this world.

Yet the desperately rushing Wang Lingguan knew that behind Elder Long’s frightening power lay a profound fear, and the Emperor Dao Fruit was the power least suited for such emotion!
