Chapter 111: Demon Emperor?
From the looks of it, it seems she has come to wash his feet.
"Leave... I don't want a wash at the moment," guessing the purpose of her visit, Bai Lung's cold voice echoed through the grand chamber.
"Eh?" Her eyes went wide open, while she silently nodded.
After that, she left the room, while, Bai Lung looked at the blue hologram in front of him.
'Hmmm... Interesting!'

Day passed...
The mysterious disappearance of the core disciples and his helper didn't attract much attention as it wasn't relevant to the outer world.
Most disciples constantly leave the territory of the sect to get some adventure, the elder in charge of the core disciple thought, his disciple must have gone to see some enlightenment, completely unaware the leaves had fallen from the tree.
One might not even think they have died a brutal death, let alone have the slightest doubt of it on Holy Envoy.
[ Ding! Daily reward issued... ]
[ You Have obtained master-level alchemy knowledge...]
Bai Lung stared at the glowing holographic display, his expression betraying no emotion at the reward of master-level alchemy knowledge, at the moment.
Nor, the mysterious disappearance of the core disciples was of little consequence to him... however, he couldn't attack any core disciple soon because it would only raise suspicion.
If one after another core disciples began to vanish who wouldn't be suspicious?
'Master-level alchemy knowledge...'
As the daily cultivation rewards were automatically distributed, imprinting the formulas of pills on his sea of consciousness, Bai Lung felt a mixture of headache and satisfaction at the influx of alchemical knowledge.
Why wouldn't he? Just like runes, even in alchemy, Bai Lung possesses knowledge about forbidden pills such as the Soul weakening Pill, Yang rod killing pill, and a few more that are banned in the cultivation world.
He rose from his meditation pose, his robes sweeping the floor as he strode towards the inner sanctum. It was time to begin the next phase of his plan.
The cultivation world would soon tremble before his might.
Reaching the hidden alcove, Bai Lung retrieved a set of ancient tomes, their pages whispering arcane secrets.
This was an ancient wisdom, Bai Lung purchased from the system at a heavy cost leaving with only 5k points.
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned spiritual energies, bending them to his will.
'The dairy of demon emperor... If I manage to decode the book, I will obtain God-slaying mystic art,' Bai Lung said to himself, his body sweating from everywhere.
One could easily tell this book wasn't a joke from the fact, that it absorbs the Qi from hands while turning the page, and from eyes while glancing at the words written on it.
Bai Lung's fingers caressed the ancient tome with reverence, the weight of its secrets sending a shiver down his spine, as he read.
The very sky turned dark as ominous thunder began to crack, it was clear, that Bai Lung was about to be judged by heaven for reading this scripture.
Them again, this was no mere book - it held the key to unlocking power beyond mortal reckoning.
With painstaking care, he began to decipher the faded characters, their meaning slowly revealing itself under his sharp analysis.
The Diary of the Demon Emperor - a repository of forbidden arts, the very knowledge that had toppled kingdoms of Gods.
Bai Lung's brow furrowed in concentration as he deciphered each cryptic passage.
The rituals described were of an unspeakable nature, promising power at a terrible cost... Really really really bad.
Yet, his thirst for strength was unquenchable.
Bai Lung knew that he must master these mystical arts, no matter the price.
The words in the book weren't direct but full of metaphors and poetic phases but he understood a few things.
Blood domain — a powerful mystical art, to awaken it, you have to sacrifice the soul of 99 virgin women whose age is less than 12... Basically a child sacrifice.
'Virgin? And age below 12?' Bai Lung was a little shocked but it is what it is. Perhaps the Demon emperor doesn't want someone to put their dick in his food.
Honestly, Bai Lung would reject it too, what if someone put their Yang Rod in his chicken? He would definitely not eat that chicken and throw it away... It may sound like a terrible comparison but Bai Lung got the idea, that someone isn't allowed to pollute the food.
As he delved deeper, disturbing images flashed through his mind... scenes of cataclysmic destruction, of gods brought low by demon emperor's hands.
The implications were staggering. If he could harness this power...
It was like he was right there, watching 'live', with his own eyes.
The era of chaos and battle.
A grim smile played on his lips.
The cultivation world had grown stagnant, bound by rigid traditions.
It was time for a new era, one forged in the crucible of his ambition.

Righteousness? Morality? What feeble constructs crafted by the weak to shackle the strong.
These so-called 'virtues' are nothing more than the desperate cries of the incompetent, seeking to justify their own inadequacies.
The strong do not need to cloak themselves in the pretense of 'goodness' - they take what they desire, without apology.
These self-proclaimed 'paragons of virtue' are nothing but hypocrites, hiding their own depravity behind a veil of sanctimony.
True power recognizes no boundaries, no limits. It is the natural order, where the strong crush the weak without remorse.
Only the pathetic cling to false idols of righteousness, trembling in fear of their own insignificance.
We kill chickens, sheep, and other wild animals, isn't that crime too? Stopping it at some 'Moral point' isn't humanity it's hypocrisy...
I am not a Demon Emperor because I am a Demon by nature, I am a Demon Emperor because I am truthful by heart.
Demon Emperor said glancing at a person, covered in a divine light.
"That's make no sense... Stop spouting nonsense and accept your death, how dare you to rape thousands of maidens in our heavenly land,"
"Rape? I just satisfied my hunger... "
