Chapter 111: The Scared Monsters and Demons

It was an oil lamp.
But what burned was not animal oil, but the myriad lights from the homes of the common people. The oil lamp had the ability to gather the auras of every mortal in the mortal realm and turn it into some sort of power.
The [Light of the Homes] might be powerful, but Lin Jiufeng didn’t find it useful for his daily routine.
But he eventually found a way to use the oil lamp.
After suppressing the demonic energy in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in a hurry to go down. Instead, he came to the gates of the Cold Palace. Seeing the deserted eaves, he stretched out his hand and hung the [Light of the Homes] on it.
[Light of the Homes] illuminated the gates of the Cold Palace.
At this time when dawn was about to arrive, it dispelled the coldness in front of the gates.
Boom!
The [Light of the Homes] that was hung up immediately suppressed the negative energies beneath the Cold Palace.
Although most of the demonic energy that pervaded the surroundings was suppressed by Lin Jiufeng earlier, the tiniest bit still managed to arrive outside. However, if someone observed carefully, they would still be able to notice that tiniest bit of demonic energy.
But now, under the illumination of the [Light of the Homes]…
The tiniest bit of demonic energy disappeared without a trace.
The Cold Palace was still the same Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng was still the same Lin Jiufeng.
Despite the constant turmoil of the outside world, Lin Jiufeng remained relatively at peace and quiet.
Just like the [Light of the Homes] that swayed silently from where it hung.
The [Light of the Homes] that was hung up there, wouldn’t be extinguished by either wind or rain, and there was no need for Lin Jiufeng to top-up any animal oil to it.
Despite its flame looking so weak, the light from the [Light of the Homes] would never disappear. It also didn’t need the nourishment of fuel. It represented the light from every single human in the Imperial Capital. They were its fuel itself.
This was also the reason why Lin Jiufeng decided to hang the oil lamp here.
Carrying it with him would waste its potential.
The oil lamp had to be able to look at the world in all of its glory for it to reveal its might.
But now, Lin Jiufeng didn’t even need to do anything.
He just hung the [Light of the Homes] on the eaves.
When the morning sun rose, the [Light of the Homes] flickered weakly.
There was no need for it to compete with the sun during the day.
Lin Jiufeng also narrowed his eyes beneath the morning sun and returned to the Cold Palace.
Boom!
The main gates of the Cold Palace closed with a dull sound.
But in the very next moment, De Ming came over with a compa.s.s in his hand.
It kept spinning, but he couldn’t find anything at all.
“That’s strange. It was pointing to this area just now, but I can’t sense anything at all. Could it be that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy is still hidden even today?”
De Ming looked around curiously.
He discovered the Cold Palace.
It occupied a huge area, and he wanted to go inside to take a look.
But when he got close, the [Light of the Homes] hanging on the eaves suddenly flickered.
The flickering lights caused De Ming’s spirit to tremble.
He stood there in a daze.
He seemed to have forgotten that he was here to look for the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
After taking a look at his surroundings, he turned around and left in a daze.
“It has such an effect too? Not bad, not bad.”
Lin Jiufeng saw what had happened and he was pleasantly surprised.
He had no idea that the [Light of the Homes] had such a function.
It truly was a pleasant surprise.
…
The early morning sun scattered the demonic energy from last night.
The world was revitalized.
The people in the imperial capital also came out of their homes whilst trembling as they discussed what happened last night.
Over 3,000 demons appeared right above the Imperial Capital.
The combined demonic aura they exuded was simply terrifying.
Fortunately, the demons left in the end and didn’t harm the people in the Imperial Capital.
But even so, the common people were still scared stiff by last night’s events.
On this day, not only the Imperial Capital, but the whole world came to know about it.
More than 3,000 demons, each of whom was a peerless powerhouse thousands of years ago had emerged into the world.
The Grotto-Heaven Realm was only their starting point.
When their spiritual energy in their current realms was abundant enough, they would then be able to directly make a breakthrough into the next realm.
Some demons worked hard to absorb the spiritual energy and strived to reach the Supremacy Realm as soon as possible.
This way, they would have some confidence when facing Lin Jiufeng.
But until then, they had no confidence to face him at all.
Last night, Lin Jiufeng killed a demon with just a glance.
How terrifying was that?
It scared them so much that they ran away in a panic.
The next morning, they finally came to their senses.
What did they run so fast for?
As long as they didn’t make any mistakes, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t kill those who were innocent.
Some demons ran to some villages and their wild nature erupted.
Their hands were itchy and they wanted to kill a few humans and suck their blood.
But before they could do so, Lin Jiufeng’s looming threat became similar to a longsword that hung in their hearts, ready to pierce it and kill them at a moment’s notice.
“d.a.m.n it, what bad luck! I’m a demon, yet now, I even have to think twice about killing mortals. This is just too tragic.” A demon cursed angrily and turned around to leave. Despite his words, he still didn’t dare to try and cause chaos.
Killing the innocent was tantamount to challenging Lin Jiufeng.
Outsiders might not know how powerful Lin Jiufeng was, but how could these demons who had been suppressed by him for ten years not have an idea as to how powerful he was?
If he really angered Lin Jiufeng, no one would be able to stop Lin Jiufeng from killing him.
Hence, this demon spared the mortals in this particular village.
Enraged, he entered the forest and killed a few wild beasts.
He then devoured their blood to vent his anger.
“Lin Jiufeng, just you wait! When I’ve reached my peak strength once more, the first thing I will do is go to the Imperial Capital and kill you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” The demon violently cursed as he drank the blood of the wild beasts he had just slaughtered.
The taste of human blood was hugely different from that of animal blood.
But because of Lin Jiufeng, he couldn’t taste that delectable delight.
He felt wronged.
But when he thought of Lin Jiufeng’s terrifying strength, he decided to endure it in the meantime.
“I should go and recover my strength first. Wait for me and wash your neck, I will definitely slaughter everyone in the Imperial Capital and drench it with blood.”
The demon gnashed his teeth and solemnly vowed.
Not only him, but the other demons did the same.
They wanted to kill, plunder treasures, and vent their anger…
But when they thought of Lin Jiufeng’s boundless might, they all fell silent.
None of them managed to successfully overcome their fears and commit such actions that were tantamount to challenging Lin Jiufeng.
“Lin Jiufeng, you’re too much!” The demons roared in unison.
They had all left the Imperial Capital and escaped from Lin Jiufeng, but Lin Jiufeng’s oppression still existed in their hearts.
It wasn’t just these demons.
There were also some that were found by the demonic sects.
The latter offered great benefits and made these demons their sect elders.
Some of the demons agreed.
Being an Elder for nothing meant that they could obtain a lot of resources.
It was a good deal.
But when a sect leader of a demonic sect suggested…
“Lord Demon, since all of you are already out in the world, why don’t you join forces and go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty?”
“Let the Emperor of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty divide a huge territory for us so that we can nurture the forces of our demonic sect and return to our previous glory.”
The expressions of the demons froze as they looked at the sect leader in shock.
“What did you say?” A demon asked in surprise.
“Go to the Imperial Capital to look for the Emperor of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and ask him to give up a piece of land to us.” The sect leader repeated.
A demon’s expression changed drastically and he couldn’t help but exclaim. “Are you mad?”
“That Demon King Jiao was just suppressed by that expert from there. There is an extremely terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. Are you sending us to our deaths?” Another demon questioned loudly.
The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty—was that a place that they could freely roam?
In the hearts of these demons, that place was definitely the most terrifying place in the world!
They wouldn’t dare to take a risk without sufficient confidence in their victory.
That would simply be tantamount to suicide.
“Don’t talk to us about dealing with the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. For the next few years or more, don’t become enemies with the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty,” A demon said firmly.
They were truly afraid of Lin Jiufeng.
The sect leader of this demonic sect was dumbfounded.
Was the guardian deity of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty really that terrifying?
