Chapter 1874: Chapter 1859: Nine Nether Demon Marshal!
"Good!" Hearing Xi Mu agree to stay and help him, Shi Feng shouted with a smile.
He hadn’t implanted an imprint on Xi Mu and told him that he could leave if he wished. Now that he was willing to stay, it was genuine sincerity.
Xi Mu knew that the situation was settled; the Evil Demon becoming the Lord of Sinister Abyss was an unchangeable fact.
He chose to stay to prevent chaos in the Sinister Abyss and avoid more grievous casualties.
By staying, he hoped to stop some things from happening with all his power.
"Xi Mu, from this moment, you will be the Nine Nether Demon Marshal of the Sinister Abyss, in charge of all the soldiers, all the powers, and even temporarily manage all affairs of the Sinister Abyss. Everyone who sees you, Xi Mu, will see it as seeing I, the Demon Lord!"
Shi Feng’s voice echoed again, entering the ears of everyone in this void once more.
Although some guessed that this God of Slaughter would surely use this former Demon General Xi Mu significantly, they were still shocked upon hearing it.
This God of Slaughter handed over all the power to this Xi Mu!
This Xi Mu, who was one of the Top Ten Demon Generals to crusade against this God of Slaughter, now suddenly became the Nine Nether Demon Marshal, managing all the powers of the Sinister Abyss, seeing him, Xi Mu, as seeing this God of Slaughter!
"It seems that the biggest winner in this battle is Xi Mu!"
"Our crusading army suffered heavy casualties under the methods of their Top Ten Demon Generals, with not even half of the tens of millions surviving. And Xi Mu became the Nine Nether Demon Marshal!"
...
"Xi Mu!"
At this moment, the expressions of the eight Demon Generals, who gazed at Xi Mu, changed.
Obviously, from now on, their status would be beneath Xi Mu!
These eight became the "war captives" of that Evil Demon, yet Xi Mu gained the power over the world.
Though some remained silent, it was difficult to hide their dissatisfaction.
"Yes!" Xi Mu ignored anyone else, only responding firmly to "that person" in front of him!
He did not expect that this Evil Demon valued him so much, appointing him as the Nine Nether Demon Marshal!
After appointing Xi Mu, Shi Feng’s gaze swept over the eight Demon Generals, saying:
"From now on, you eight will be the Eight Great Demon Generals of the Nine Nether. Later, enter the Sinister Forest. From now on, without my, the Demon Lord’s, order, you shall not step out half a step from the Sinister Forest!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
...
Despite their unwillingness, the eight responded with a bow to Shi Feng.
Compared to Xi Mu, their destinies were indeed worlds apart!
Sending them into the Sinister Forest was essentially confining them there.
"Take this." With a low shout, Shi Feng saw eight somber white rays of light emanate from his body, shooting towards the Eight Great Demon Generals.
As they saw the lights flying towards them, the Eight Great Demon Generals extended their hands to seize the rays.
Each received one, eight jade scrolls in all.
Then Shi Feng spoke again, "These eight jade scrolls all bear my, the Demon Lord’s, imprint. Should a Divine Clan expert stronger than you eight appear in the Sinister Forest, crush the jade scrolls to notify me, the Demon Lord, and I will arrive at the first moment."
"Yes!"
...
The Eight Great Demon Generals responded to Shi Feng once more.
At that time, Shi Feng pointed towards the Heavenly Demon Scepter still suspended above and said:
"Before going to the Sinister Forest, erase the imprints on this Heavenly Demon Scepter!"
At this moment, although the Heavenly Demon Scepter wasn’t activating the evil power, it remained enormous, like a giant floating black bone mountain between heaven and earth.
Now, with his great victory, naturally, this evil True God Battle Artifact belonged to him.
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Xi Mu and the Eight Great Demon Generals’ expressions slightly changed again.
The countless people who had been kneeling towards the Nine Nether Demon Lord had their expressions change as well.
After this battle, they finally understood the terror and evil of this evil weapon.
Initially, over ten million came to crusade against the traitor, but now only four million survived, all due to this evil weapon’s misdeeds.
Even those who survived, lost youth and the beauty of youth.
Those with powerful cultivation who lost primordial power were considered fortunate.
Upon hearing the Nine Nether Demon Lord’s words, countless people recalled the Evil Demon’s evil laughter, personally activating this evil weapon to devour the lives of living beings.
"Hopefully, I won’t be present at that time!" A peerless expert silently said in his heart.
His name was Luo Ye, whose Martial Arts Cultivation had reached the Nine-star Demigod Realm. Yet, under this evil weapon, he had no strength to resist and was at its mercy.
If someone came to kill him at that time, he would have been at their disposal.
...
This time, Xi Mu and the Eight Great Demon Generals formed handprints.
Although Xi Mu wished to seal this evil weapon after the battle, to never let it see the light again unless necessary, he had no choice now.
Shortly after, under the handprints of the nine, the Heavenly Demon Scepter began to tremble, "Jie Jie! Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
That wicked and eerie laugh, seemingly from an ancient desolate epoch, resonated from the Heavenly Demon Scepter once more.
Soon, the Heavenly Demon Scepter trembled increasingly violently, as if excited by the nine’s attempt to erase their imprints.
"Humph!" Perceiving the excitement from the Heavenly Demon Scepter, Shi Feng snorted disdainfully.
Soon after, his figure dashed skyward, rushing towards the evil artifact.
At the same time, Shi Feng formed a palm with his right hand, a somber white imprint appearing in his palm.
As his form moved, the two True God Battle Artifacts, Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Bell and Demon Skull, adjacent to the Heavenly Demon Scepter, suddenly moved.
In an instant, Shi Feng reached beneath the Heavenly Demon Scepter, fiercely striking upward with a palm marked with the white imprint.
The two True God Battle Artifacts, which had moved suddenly, also charged towards the Heavenly Demon Scepter with extreme ferocity.
"Boom!" A loud explosion echoed, as Shi Feng’s right palm and the two artifacts simultaneously unleashed fierce strikes.
The Heavenly Demon Scepter, which trembled with eerie vibrations, shook even more violently, not from excitement, but resisting Shi Feng’s imprint.
The Divine Artifact had its spirit; after sensing endless years of waiting to be freed, how could it willingly be bound again?
