Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Descendant of the Demon Gods, Journey to the Azure Family



John, tired of the back-and-forth, opened a portal to the Abyss, gesturing to Shadowflame and saying calmly, "Let's go."

Shadowflame's expression turned respectful as he immediately recognized the portal leading to the Abyss.

Only someone who had comprehended at least 10% of the Power of Laws could fully control the Abyss. This only reinforced his belief that John was indeed the Demon Race Young Master. The two of them stepped through the spatial rift and descended into the Abyss.

Shadowflame frowned as they arrived. Even though he had mastered the Power of Darkness like John, the oppressive energy of the Abyss made him feel uncomfortable.

It was as if the darkness here was too overwhelming for him, whereas for Sini, it only seemed to enhance her strength.

John didn't waste time explaining, leading Shadowflame toward the cliff where the others were in seclusion.

Whoosh!

As they neared the cliff, Tony and Ben sensed their approach and flew out to meet them. "Ninth-tier powerhouses!" Shadowflame gasped, quickly stepping in front of John to shield

him.

"Relax, no need to be tense-they're on our side," John said, slightly touched by Shadowflame's protectiveness, though it was clear that he wasn't the Demon Race's ruler.

"Demon King?" Tony glared coldly at Shadowflame, his voice dripping with menace. "Are you here to take care of this guy?"

As a ninth-tier powerhouse who had also mastered the Power of Darkness, Tony could easily handle Shadowflame.

John quickly intervened, "No need for that. I'm here to see Sini."

At that moment, a figure emerged from the cliffside.

"John!" Sini called out happily as she ran over to him.

"The Power of Darkness!" Shadowflame exclaimed in awe.

He scrutinized Sini, immediately sensing the immense Power of Darkness radiating from her. Compared to John, her dark aura was even more pronounced, making her appear more like a true member of the Demon Race.

Confused, Shadowflame began to wonder if perhaps Michelle and Kamal had two heirs.

Seeing Shadowflame's bewildered look, John clarified, "This is the person you've been searching for."

"Then... who are you?" Shadowflame asked, still trying to make sense of it all.

"I'm human," John replied casually.

"Wait... didn't I just swear loyalty to you?" Shadowflame's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing at John.

But bound by his oath, he couldn't do anything to harm John, no matter how confused or frustrated he felt.

Thud!

Shadowflame dropped to his knees again, this time in front of Sini.

"Princess, I've finally found you!" he exclaimed, his voice full of emotion as he crawled forward a few steps on his knees.

Sini was startled and quickly ducked behind John. Confused, she whispered, "John, is this guy out of his mind?"

Having grown up an orphan without any parents, the sudden appearance of someone claiming she was a princess struck her as utterly bizarre. Her first thought was that this Demon King must be crazy.

John looked at Sini seriously and said, "Sini, it's possible that you really are the Demon Race Princess."

"Huh?" Sini froze, then reached up to touch John's forehead with a puzzled expression. "Are you sick or something?"

"Young one, the Godslayer is telling the truth," Ben chimed in from the side. "Think about your experiences in the Abyss. This place is formed by the concentrated power of the Demon Gods. It's a forbidden land for the Demon Race, and only the Demon Gods or their descendants can remain unaffected here."

Sini's mouth hung slightly open, still in disbelief. "But... but I'm from Earth. I've lived there my whole life."

"Your Highness," Shadowflame quickly explained, "This was likely orchestrated by the Demon Gods. They can break through space barriers, and they must have sent you to Earth for some reason."

Sini still looked unsure, her eyes turning to John for reassurance.

He nodded and said, "It seems likely to be true."

"Well, if I'm the Demon Race Princess, then I'm the Demon Race Princess," Sini finally said, accepting it with a shrug. She turned to Shadowflame and asked, "So, if I'm the princess, that means the entire Demon Race has to follow my orders, right?"

"Of course," Shadowflame responded, still kneeling with unwavering loyalty. However, this time he didn't rush to swear his allegiance again, cautious after the previous misunderstanding.

"Alright, get up," Sini said, glancing at him before adding, "So, what treasures does the Demon Race have? Anything that could help John grow stronger? Bring them all to me."

Having mastered the Power of Darkness and wielding a divine artifact, his strength rivaled that of a ninth-tier powerhouse. The Abyss could not hold him.

"Sini, I have some matters to take care of in the real world," John said as he turned to her,

preparing to leave.

"The real world? Does it involve the Azure Family?" Sini asked. "Do you want me to come

with you?"

The Azure Family was the only remaining issue in the real world that needed resolving.

"No need. I can handle it," John declined. He wasn't sure of the Azure Family's patriarch's true strength and didn't want Sini to take any unnecessary risks.

With his combined attributes, including the Lifesaver talent and the Undying and Immortal ability, John was confident that even if he wasn't a match for the Azure Family's patriarch, his

life wouldn't be in danger.

He briefly recalled the mysterious woman in green who had appeared when he faced the Beast King, a demigod-level foe. He glanced at Tony and Ben.

These two clearly knew something but had been unwilling to reveal it.

Not wanting to press the matter, John simply nodded at them in farewell before leaving the

Abyss and logging off.

...

In the real world, it was late at night. The surrounding area was silent.

John stretched after exiting his game pod, loosening his stiff muscles.

He glanced at the nutrient levels in Sini's pod-they were sufficient and didn't need

replenishing.

Hum!

John extended his hand, and the sound of a sword humming filled the air. A green longsword

flew toward him and landed in his grasp.

It was Chris's Wind Sword.

After learning that John had mastered Sword Mastery, Chris had insisted on gifting the Wind

Sword to him.

He was currently on a military base, still some distance from the Co-Cloud Mountains, where

the Azure Family was located. The flight by sword would take about four hours.

Whoosh!

Under the cover of the dark night, a figure streaked across the sky at incredible speed.

Military radar detected the anomaly, but before it could lock onto the target, the figure had already vanished.

John flew swiftly, and just as dawn began to break, he arrived at the Co-Cloud Mountains. He found the withered peach tree Kent had mentioned.

The chirping of birds could be heard in the distance, but the surrounding area was desolate. It

didn't look like the location of a grand sect.

John was puzzled but approached the withered peach tree and gently knocked on it.

Clang!

A sharp, metallic sound echoed. It didn't feel like wood-it was neither metal nor wood, its

material unknown.

Clang...

He continued knocking, and on the tenth strike, the air around him began to ripple. The scene

rapidly shifted before his eyes.
