Chapter 1306: Chapter 1326: How about a Fight, for a Settlement _1

Thousands of powerful demons from all directions fixed their eyes on the Array Diagram, their gazes guarded.

Was this a potent magical treasure?

The Demon Emperor cast a glance at the Array Diagram then fixed his gaze on Lin Chen’s face: "What is that?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Array Diagram. The Array Diagram of Connecting Heaven Formation."

The Demon Emperor’s eyes widened abruptly, "The Connecting Heaven Formation that can lead to ascension to immortality?"

Lin Chen nodded, "What else could it be?"

This statement from Lin Chen immediately caused a commotion among the ten thousand demons.

"Did he get the Array Diagram?"

"Has the Immortal returned?"

"With the Array Diagram, couldn’t we reconstruct the Connecting Heaven Formation, clear the Heaven and Earth Passage, and ascend to immortality?"

"If we seize the Array Diagram, then wouldn’t the Array Diagram belong to our demon race and we could ascend to immortality by ourselves..."

"Your mind must be damaged! The Array Diagram must have been given to him by the Daughter of the Immortal Domain Master. The Human Emperor owes him a favor, and you want to use this to threaten the Human Clan?"

The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Chen, his face losing its smile, his voice solemn, "Why are you here?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s not just the Human Clan that can ascend to immortality, now that the Skyreaching Array is to be reconstructed, shouldn’t your demon race also contribute some strength?"

The Demon Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Only for this?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Mainly for this, but of course, we can also discuss the future affairs of the Human Clan and the Demon Race."

The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Chen deeply, turned around, and extended his hand, "Let’s talk inside."

Lin Chen put away the Array Diagram, his attitude relaxed, and confidently walked into the Imperial Palace.

The Demon Emperor led Lin Chen to a garden pavilion in the palace, where they sat down.

"Tell me, what does the Demon Race need to pay, and what can it gain?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You don’t need to make any special contributions. As long as the Demon Race and the Human Clan live in peace, what you naturally get is the qualification for ascension on an equal basis."

"I am the Human Emperor, and also the honorary president of the Human Race Union, but I’m quite lazy and don’t really want to deal with so many idle matters. It’s best if the demon race and human race have nothing to do with each other, but if there’s an invasion by the demon army, I can’t just ignore it. It would be a hassle, and I would find it annoying."

The Demon Emperor sneered, "Don’t make it sound so easy, as if you can do anything just by taking action. You were just lucky enough to cling to the thigh of an Immortal. Otherwise, on what grounds could you stop my Demon Army?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Seems like you’re still upset about me forcing you to retreat. Well, you’re the Demon Emperor, I’m the Human Emperor. Ten thousand years ago, the battle between the Human Emperor and the Demon Emperor disrupted the invasion plan of the demon race. Today, let’s fight again to dispel your dissatisfaction, so you won’t feel resentment all the time. How about it?"

The Demon Emperor squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Lin Chen from top to bottom, only to find that he couldn’t see through Lin Chen’s strength.

Not much time had passed since their last encounter, so what had happened to him?

"Just you?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, cut the crap, it’s just the two of us, one on one. So, are you in or out?"

The Demon Emperor sneaked a glance at Zhao Jia, who was standing behind Lin Chen, "Other people won’t join in?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’m in your Demon Royal City now. Are you still afraid that I’ll bully you with superior numbers?"

The Demon Emperor realized that he was right. This Demon Royal City was packed with high-ranking witches. Could Lin Chen outnumber him?

Could he beat him alone?

It seemed unlikely.

According to the Qinglong Saint Lord, when the Immortal had left that day, Lin Chen forced him to retreat. He was merely at the Spirit Transformation Realm. How long had passed since then, and now he was actually challenging him alone?

The Demon Emperor said solemnly, "I recall you were at the Spirit Transformation Realm..."

Lin Chen responded, "Times have changed. You will know once we fight."

The Demon Emperor pondered for a few seconds, "Is there a wager?"

Lin Chen said breezily, "I was originally just thinking of beating you up and crushing your ambition to conquer the human race. But since you want to raise the stakes, let’s do it. What’s the bet?"

The Demon Emperor sneered, "The Emperor’s Seal is the symbol and weapon of the Human Emperor. The Demon Emperor Blade the symbol and weapon of the Demon Emperor. If you win, you take my Demon Emperor Blade. If I win, you leave your Emperor’s Seal!"

Lin Chen didn’t show any surprise or tension. Instead, he laughed, "That’s a huge bet. Who could hold their head high if they lost their life-bound magical treasure?"

The Demon Emperor said coldly, "Since we’re betting, let’s make it big. If someone loses, we can’t just have them kneel and bow a few times. If I bow to you, will you be satisfied? If you bow to me, can you handle it?"

The smile froze on Lin Chen’s face. Damn, this is bullying.

He’s using my father’s body as a stake in this bet. It’s embarrassing no matter who wins or loses.

Seeing Lin Chen’s awkward expression, the Demon Emperor immediately sneered, "Since we’re going to reconstruct the Tongtian Tower and ascend to immortality, it’s unlikely that the human and demon races will fight in the future. Even if we have to fight, it would be in the Immortal Realm, not for the clans in the Barren Wilderness. The meaning of everything will change."

"In the war between me and the Human Emperor of that year, I lost because of one move, which led to the failure of the demon race’s campaign to dominate the Barren Wilderness. Since you’re confident now, let’s have a good fight and settle things once and for all!"
