The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 355: Chapter 293: Polluted World Power

After comforting his wife and kids, Lynn petted the cat’s head a couple of times and then turned to leave.

This time, he might not be able to return for a short while because, after trading the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact Set to the Divine Abandonment Continent, he still needed to sneak into the Demon Realm and receive a full set of Demon Artifacts from the Miracle Saint Emperor sent under the guise of Illidan Demon Emperor.

Once he had completed this hand-to-hand operation, he needed to find the time to transform back into the Miracle Saint Emperor Lynn and use seven Demon King Orders to trade for the Saint Emperor’s Boots with Victor.

All this back-and-forth might consume an unknown amount of time. Therefore, before leaving, Lynn had already made arrangements, saying he would return only after obtaining the Saint Emperor’s Boots, without an exact timeframe.

...

The Divine Protection Continent is large, of the same size as the Divine Protection Continent.

But because of sustained warfare and being occupied by the Demon Race for years, the internal teleportation nodes, once crisscrossing like those on the Divine Protection Continent, have long been destroyed.

However, this didn’t significantly impact Lynn’s speed to reach the edge of the continent. After all, when not considering others, the speed of a Near God flying at full speed isn’t much slower than a teleportation array.

Rushing non-stop to this place, Lynn looked at the cross-continental space channel that seemed specifically opened for him, paused momentarily, and then stepped into it.

As the sense of spatial distortion faded, Lynn looked up to see the seven Demon King wives and the stern-faced Dragon Mother Victor, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Miracle Saint Emperor, you really kept us waiting."

Upon seeing Lynn cross into the realm, Victor immediately retorted. She did not harbor much hostility towards Lynn but was mainly disgruntled at the time he took as a Near God to fetch a few pieces of equipment. If it were her retrieving them personally, they would have been in the third round of the celebration banquet in the Demon Realm by now.

"There was a slight delay, but nothing is missing. Can we have the Divine Abandonment Continent back, then?"

Lynn ignored the impatience in Victor’s words and instead clasped his hands together, gradually spreading them apart. With this motion, he laid out eight Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts in the air.

Acquiring these was effortless for him, but they were exceptionally precious to the Demon Race. Exchanging an entire continent, let alone a complete Great World, would not seem like a loss.

After all, the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact Set was crafted by the formidable Destruction Demon God and Guardian Demon God. While its usage level was just a bit low, at only level 999, its crafting technique and material value could rival even Main Demon Artifacts, not to mention it was a complete set.

"Alright! Artifacts in exchange for the continent!"

Seeing Lynn display the long array of Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts, Victor and the seven Great Demon Kings simultaneously brightened up. This was the true treasure of the Lower Demon Realm, unlike the fragmented Demon Mirrors, which could only be used for communication and teleportation.

"Wait! You can grab the artifacts with just your hand, but I can’t retrieve the continent by hand. Since we’re trading artifacts for the continent, shouldn’t the Divine Abandonment Continent be purified first? Let me erect a few Towers of Light and shatter all space channels and cracks linked to the Demon Realm before you take the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts."

The so-called face-to-face trade was all about the satisfaction of an exchange and avoiding deception.

In the trade between Lynn and the Demon Race, they were exchanging specific demon artifact equipment for a vast continent. Delivering the goods was easy, but receiving payment was not. Thus, before handing over the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts, he had to ensure the other party handled all related processes.

"Do you think we are those deceitful and base Demon Race? Once agreed upon, how could we go back on our word? First, hand over the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts, and we will naturally fulfill your requests!"

Victor frowned at his words but then opened her mouth to demand the trade items without a second thought.

"You claim to have integrity, then I shall show sincerity! I will give you seven of the eight artifacts first! Once all the loose ends are tied, I will personally hand over the last one. Does this sound acceptable?"

Seeing Victor’s attitude, Lynn was unwilling to haggle further. He directly withdrew the God-slaying Scythe from the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact Set and presented the remaining seven components to the seven Great Demon Kings, indicating they could take seven-eighths of the trade items.

Lynn’s approach of handing over the majority but keeping a minor balance did not leave any room for Victor to find fault.

Seeing the seven Great Demon Kings gleefully accept the seven Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts, Victor, who was determined to join their faction, kept her silence.

"Then come with us."

As she spoke, Victor casually tore, causing a spatial rift to appear in front of them. Under the continued power of her dragon claw, the rift gradually expanded into a space channel, similar to what Lynn had done before.

However, this was originally a connection between two realms. Otherwise, even for an ordinary Near God, let alone a Space System Near God, breaking through the World Wall between two Great Worlds would be impossible without any correspondence.

On the opposite side of the space channel was the Demon Realm, and Lynn could already smell its familiar scent.
