Chapter 392: Chapter 311: Transaction Complete (Part 2)
Because Victor was the most powerful, she was positioned as the leader, and the Saint Emperor’s Boots needed for the trade were already in her hands. She would also be responsible for the transaction.
"According to the agreement, I will determine the location for the trade. This place is too close to the Miracle World and the Demon Realm, and perhaps both of us are uneasy about it, so I deliberately chose a Polar World. Even a near-god level being would need days of travel to reach it, and a demigod level being couldn’t possibly follow us without a month. I hope you are sincere and not playing tricks."
Crossing the boundary, Lynn saw both parties were fully assembled, so he wasted no time and directly revealed a writing board, attaching world coordinates to it.
Because sound could not be transmitted in the void of the Destruction World, both Victor and the Seven Great Demon Kings merely nodded after reading Lynn’s board, offering no unnecessary responses.
They relied on the Demon Mirror, a treasure of the Demon Realm, and the powerful Illidan Demon Emperor could cross the mirror’s space at any time. Therefore, regardless of where the Miracle Saint Emperor set the trading location, or how far it was, they were unconcerned.
Even if the Miracle Saint Emperor set up an ambush at the trade location, they were not afraid. A near-god level being is the highest level in the Lower Realm, and normally it is difficult for two near-god level beings to coexist in one realm. Victor didn’t even count herself, as having Illidan Demon Emperor as fully armed backup made them invincible.
The Demon Realm party raised no objections to the trading location, and both parties set off simultaneously towards that Polar World.
Lynn didn’t care that the Seven Great Demon Kings didn’t have near-god level power, but rushed at top speed, forcing Victor to allocate some of her power to assist the Seven Great Demon Kings on their journey.
Victor knew this was the Miracle Saint Emperor’s intention to weaken her power, but what he didn’t know was that the real power of the Demon Realm was not in these eight demons. His strategy was clearly off the mark.
Along the road, there were no incidents, and after several days and nights of a long journey, they arrived at the agreed trading location smoothly with all their magic intact.
It was a world completely frozen over, somewhat resembling the endless snowy mountains of the Divine Protection Continent, but on a world-sized scale.
This world wouldn’t attract the Destruction Demon God Faction to destroy it, because it was a zone of death, with nothing but ice and snow.
In such a place, the notion of the Miracle Saint Emperor setting an ambush is dispelled, as it was as barren as the Destruction World. If there were any living creatures lurking here, it would be as conspicuous as public nudity, noticeable to any keen-eyed demon.
"Miracle Saint Emperor, can we proceed with the trade now?"
According to Illidan Demon Emperor’s arrangement, they would not act against the Miracle Saint Emperor unless something unexpected happened. Therefore, upon reaching the trade location, Victor proposed the trade right away, to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"I, Lynn, always handle matters promptly. I have brought everything, you won’t be missing a piece."
When questioned by Victor, Lynn avoided any fuss, taking out the Demon King Orders from his storage space and laying them out in a row, revealing seven pitch-black Demon King Orders floating unprotected in the air, demonstrating the Miracle Saint Emperor’s confidence in his own strength, unafraid of them being snatched away.
Seeing the Miracle Saint Emperor showing such "sincerity," Victor could not disgrace the Demon Race’s prestige and reached out to take out the Saint Emperor’s Boots, also suspending them in the air.
"How about exchanging the orders and boots simultaneously?"
Seeing this, Lynn suggested.
"You first hand over five Demon King Orders, and I will give you this boot. Then you can hand over the last two Demon King Orders. How does that sound?"
Since they were trading one for seven, Victor considered that the Miracle Saint Emperor might withdraw the unclaimed Demon King Orders after acquiring the Saint Emperor’s Boots. After pondering for a moment, she requested most of the Demon King Orders as a deposit and waited for the Miracle Saint Emperor to negotiate.
Then Victor realized she underestimated the Miracle Saint Emperor. This man didn’t haggle with her; upon her request, the Miracle Saint Emperor flicked his fingers, triggering five Demon King Orders engraved with Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony, shooting toward their corresponding Demon Kings.
Except for Pride Demon King Ilya and Lust Demon King Phantom, the other Demon Kings retrieved their respective Demon King Orders.
Seeing this, Victor pushed the Saint Emperor’s Boots towards the Miracle Saint Emperor. Though she could deceive them and run with the five Demon King Orders, doing so would not only disgrace the Demon Race but also earn the resentment of Pride and Lust Demon Kings.
Though she wasn’t afraid of Ilya and Phantom, the two juniors, she didn’t want to create enemies for her daughter in Illidan Demon Emperor’s harem.
Thus, under Lynn’s honorable conduct and Victor’s dark yet frank demeanor, both parties completed their trade items exchange. After verifying the authenticity of the Saint Emperor’s Boots, Lynn returned the two temporarily withheld Demon King Orders.
With this, Miracle Saint Emperor Lynn completed the Saint Emperor’s Divine Artifact Set, becoming a master of divine skills.
And after retrieving their respective Demon King Orders, the Seven Great Demon Kings could refine and reforge them, imprint them with their mark, and make further advancement, striving towards higher levels.
The trade was successfully completed without any hitch.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
After completing the trade, given the public relationship between Lynn and the Demon Race, there was no reason to continue interacting, so he courteously bid farewell and left the Frozen World without waiting for a response from the eight Demon Realm powerhouses.
Victor couldn’t pursue the Miracle Saint Emperor at his peak state. Seeing him leave alone without causing any trouble, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let’s return as well. Once you return to your realm, focus on forging your exclusive Demon King Orders. In a thousand years, you might all have a chance to attempt reaching the near-god level."
Although the Seven Great Demon Kings’ current power levels are already high, ranking prominently among past demon kings, the path to becoming a near-god is not easy. Especially the final level 9 has hindered many exceptionally talented Demon Kings.
This generation of legitimate Demon Kings, led by Ilya, possesses historical-level strength and talent, but Victor’s highest expectation for them is only two out of seven making it, assuming she and Illidan Demon Emperor ascend to become Demon Gods.
After all, the resources of the Lower Realm are limited. Unless all Seven Great Demon Kings are specifically supported by demon lords and higher-level Demon Gods, most of them are destined to be eliminated by the new era.
Of course, given their current power levels, by the time they are washed into history, at least five or six thousand years would have passed. And if they were not all from the Abyssal Demon clan, and had the Dragon Race’s long lifespan, they might have had a chance for four of them to advance...
Thinking about these future matters, Victor gathered the Seven Great Demon Kings and headed back towards the Demon Realm.
However, as they left the frozen Polar World together, all eight demons suddenly found themselves immobilized on the spot.
Realizing something was wrong, Victor attempted to break free from the restraints immediately, but after unleashing magic power, she discovered that the force restraining her was not an enemy but pure Power of Heaven and Earth.
It was a level above World Power, and usually, having the opportunity to absorb a breath of it would be more valuable than any longevity-enhancing treasure.
Because the Power of Heaven and Earth has the effect of purifying the essence of life, extending the beneficiary’s lifespan, and many more effects.
Most importantly, it has an enhancing effect, which is the best booster on the path to divinity. Any near-god at level 999 undergoing a baptism of Power of Heaven and Earth, whether newly promoted to level 999 or a veteran at level 999.99, would be equivalent to holding a ticket to the Upper Realm.
