Chapter 68 - It Turns Out You Were Someone's Pawn

The ultimate power of all, the absolute power of desires. A power that was sealed or better still banished from the world surface.

In the face of this power, all humans, demon's flaws were revealed. Abilities, techniques, even artifacts flaws were revealed. During the ancient days, the gods and demons joined forces to seal this power, and at the end of the day, they were only capable of sealing one-third of its true power.

The supreme power of desires. It was widely known as the ultimate power of all, even in the ancient days. However, beings who acquired that power were destined to have a short life and were never be able to utilize that power to its fullest.

So to date, no one had ever demonstrated its true strength.

"I don't know if that person is a fool or overconfident that he or she dares give you that power. Besides, if you're to possess even one-third of that power it will consume you."

"Because you're too weak."

The man on the throne was beginning to wonder what kind of existence in the world was capable of having the ultimate power in his palms and yet gives it out.

Honestly, he wasn't even capable of such. The ultimate power of all was a force that couldn't be reckoned it. It opened the door to several insane abilities and techniques that were extremely powerful.

He had always regarded those sins tasks that Devon perform as the Demon lord just messing around, never did he except that it was a tiny portion of the ultimate power of all that was given to him.

"Even gods won't dare acquire this power if it was even given to them, and yet, a mere demon lord wants to have the power." He sneered, staring at the old man.

Countless powerhouses, even gods and demons had dreamed of acquiring this power by force, but they had all perished in the hand of this power.

In all eras, the ultimate power always chooses its possessor, either one of the god's descendants or the demon's descendants. They have never been any case whereby the power was given to someone. Such power was rebellious and wouldn't submit to anyone.

However, in the last two million years, they weren't any being who possessed that power, so gradually people started forgetting about it. Only those old fossils in some families and organizations knew about it, but none dared to speak about it.

If it wasn't for the dimension they were in, mentioning the ultimate power of all would allow the Heaven to unleash its wrath. The Heaven condemned the ultimate power of all, and it won't tolerate any being that acquires that power.

The heaven would unleash a tribulation upon the possessor of the ultimate power of all every year. which is one of the reasons why most possessor tends to have a short life.

A smile appeared on the man on the throne face, he was looking forward to meeting this mysterious person who had acquired the ultimate power and was also willing to give it out.

It meant the person was confident in his strength.

....

The old man stared at the screen which was displayed in front of him, watching as his secret were revealed one after the other. He was extremely terrified of the man in front of him.

This was a clear demonstration of how terrifying the man in front of him was. The ability to unfold the past of one's life.

In his entire life, they had only been two people who had scared the shit out of him. That mysterious being, he worked for, and this man in front of him. Even when those forces invaded the Demon world, he wasn't this terrified of them.

"So it turns out that you were someone pawn." the man on the throne said, his eyes still glued to the screen ahead.

The old man's legs were trembling, "Please don't kill me... I was just following orders." he stammered several times due to fright.

"I know, I know, I know, I know." the man on the throne stated. His words made the old man heaved a sigh of relief.

He then sneered, "Actually, I would have eventually killed you because you interfered with fate. If you had just stayed in that space and continued to be a pawn, then you might have lived long.'

"But you choose to get yourself wrapped around fate, and all those who interfere with fate shall die." The man on the throne burst out laughing as soon as those words came out.

The former old man who was trembling seemed to have regained his composure as he stood up straight. "I won't go down without a fight."

"Ohhhhhhh, let me see how strong the 84th Demon lord is then." the man on the throne chuckled.

The old man's skin assumed a red-hue, a huge goat horn then appeared on his forehead, followed by a huge red pair of wings. Even his former black eye turned full black, leaving no white within, while several long claws appeared on his fingers.

He then began to grow taller, till he approached the height of a giant. A very powerful demonic aura spread out from his body.

Comparing Derek's transformation to this old man's transformation was like comparing a kitten to a lion. The old man seemed to be able to shatter space itself with just a single punch.

Even the cosmic energy all around the surrounding rushed towards him, instead of absorbing them, the energy began wrapping all around till it finally materialized into the shape of a red dragon.

It was almost as if the red dragon was alive. The red dragon began coiling itself all around the old man, while his head rested on the man's shoulder.

The old man clenched his hand into a fist, his entire body appeared to be full of energy. Facing the man in front of him, he knew he had to display his full power or else only death awaited him.

Whereas the man seating on the throne found the scene very amusing. Despite the demonic aura and killing intent, he appeared unbothered. To the extent that he even stretched his legs and hands a few times.

"Epic grade Demon, not bad.....However, you're below average compared to those I've seen."

The old man smirked, "Just you wait." He waved his hand and a black emblem appeared on his hand. With the appearance of the black emblem, the red dragon shook heavily and flew straight to the emblem. The emblem began rotating till it finally swallowed the red dragon.

"Hahahahahahahahaha." the old man began laughing like a maniac.

He then pointed the black emblem, in the direction of the man on the throne. The red dragon appeared out of the emblem it had become ten times larger than its previous appearance and the might that came it with wasn't to be underestimated.

The red dragon roared at the man and rushed towards him. The dragon's intention was clear, it wanted to devour the man as its mouth was wide open.

Powerhouses who were capable of facing this type of attack from the red dragon in the underground world could be counted with two hands.

Against the incoming attack, the man on the throne simply raised his hand as if he wanted to give the dragon a high five. Just as the dragon got close to him, a very shocking thing happened.

The man's left hand that was raised was like a magnetic as it completely sucked away the red dragon. The dragon wasn't even capable of battling.

Seeing what had just happened, the transformed Demon went seven steps backward. The shock was written all over his face.

The man on the throne grinned....
