Chapter 281 : Where Did So Many Demon Kings Come From
As soon as Chu Sang entered the world inside the pagoda, she was greeted by a wave of fierce attacks—the life-threatening kind. She leaped backward to dodge, forced to counterattack, and looked up in bewilderment. Powerful Demon Kings emerged from the shadows, all of them... at the Divine Transformation stage?!
By her estimation, even the weakest ones were at least early Divine Transformation stage.
Fortunately, she had recently advanced to the middle Divine Transformation stage. Otherwise, suddenly facing more than a dozen early Divine Transformation stage Demon Kings, even if she used every trick up her sleeve, she would have lost half her life.
What followed was half a day of flashing blades and flying swords, with flesh and blood scattering everywhere. Chu Sang had barely managed to defeat these dozen or so Demon Kings when, before she could catch her breath, another wave of Divine Transformation stage Demon Kings attacked. There were even more than the first wave?!
Damn it, there weren't this many Demon Kings in the entire Spiritual Abyss Continent combined. How could there be so many in the pagoda, seemingly endless to kill?!
This Demon-Locking Pagoda had remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Just how many Demon Kings had it accumulated?
"Little Pagoda Spirit, I admit I haven't been particularly gentle with you in the past, but even if I haven't treated you to lavish meals, I haven't mistreated you, have I? Are you trying to take my life?" Chu Sang dodged an attack, her voice low. "I've even fed you so much of my blood, and this is how you repay me? I'm seriously suspecting now that you've taken a liking to my blood and want to destroy all evidence of me in the pagoda, so you can have my bloodline all to yourself. Who would have thought? You look so cute on the outside, but you're playing such a dirty game!"
"Pah pah pah, how could I be such an evil pagoda spirit!" The Pagoda Spirit widened its round eyes, arguing its case.
Who could be as thick-skinned as Chu Sang?!
Her mysterious bloodline was indeed incredibly tempting to it. If she hadn't forced it to form a contract back then, perhaps it truly wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation and would have secretly consumed her bloodline for itself. But the crucial point was that Chu Sang had formed a contract with the Pagoda Spirit, and it wasn't a contract that could be unilaterally dissolved. It was a master-subordinate contract, only slightly higher in rank than a master-servant contract. If she died, it wouldn't fare well either.
"I've been stranded in the lower realm for many years, passing through countless hands. Initially, when the pagoda body wasn't severely damaged, it still had considerable power and imprisoned many powerful demon beasts. These demon beasts were placed on different floors of the pagoda according to their strength, and they're naturally stronger than the demon beasts in the outside world. It's perfectly normal!"
"...May I ask, which floor am I on now?"
"The second floor."
"This is only the second floor?" Chu Sang's mouth twitched slightly. All the beasts on just the second floor were at the Divine Transformation stage. "Then what about the floors above?"
"The first floor houses all the lesser demons below the Divine Transformation stage. From the second floor upwards, all the demon beasts are at Divine Transformation stage or above. Moreover, the demon beasts on each floor are stronger than those on the floor below."
The little Pagoda Spirit paused before answering sincerely, "I wish you good luck. If I remember correctly, over the past ten thousand years, people have imprisoned many powerful Demon Kings in the pagoda, and even several demon emperors. Their strength was too great for me to refine, so I just kept them locked up. After so many years, I'm not sure if their realms have declined... Woo, if you have any conscience, you should dissolve our contract first. This way, your death won't affect me."
Chu Sang smiled, "Don't worry. Given the sincere friendship we've built through our shared hardships, even if I die, I won't dissolve the contract."
"..."
What a vicious curse.
"Aren't you the Pagoda Spirit? Can't you send me out first?" Chu Sang didn't believe her current strength was enough to survive inside the pagoda, even with her bravado.
"After consuming your blood, the interior of the Demon-Locking Pagoda underwent reconstruction. I still can't control the pagoda body. I've already exhausted what little power I had left just to lock you in here during the crisis. I'm afraid I can't let you out again in the short term." The Pagoda Spirit waved its hand.
"Then how long will it take at minimum for the Demon-Locking Pagoda to complete its reconstruction?"
