Chapter 445: Undying Venom Dragon
Jiu Shen stared at the gla.s.s bottle in his hand. The items from the system are truly handy since all of them are made from Celestial-rank items. It could even hold such powerful poison! If Jiu Shen didn"t have his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword, he could even use this small gla.s.s bottle as a weapon...
"My body is now at the Mystic G.o.d Realm and if this is indeed the spit of an Undying Venom Dragon, it should be able to melt my body." Jiu Shen muttered nonchalantly.
Theia who was outside the invisible s.h.i.+eld almost lost her footing when she heard this. "Wait. What did you say?! Are you planning to try it out on yourself?! Are you out of mind, Jiu Shen?!"
The Undying Venom Dragon was an ancient divine beast that wreak havoc in the Primordial G.o.d Realm billions of years ago. Millions of high-level experts died under its venom and it took the combined might of many powerhouses to suppress the divine beast! Celestial G.o.d Jian w.a.n.g even had to intervene just to seal it!
"Look. We"re still unsure whether this really is the spit of that creature. How is it even possible for its venom to be here in Nuar?" Jiu Shen wasn"t just saying this to lighten the tension.
The Undying Venom Dragon was a divine beast that was almost comparable to a Celestial G.o.d Realm expert in terms of strength. Jiu Shen believed that the venom in their hands might just have come from one of its descendants.
Theia felt a bit better when she heard his reasoning, but she was still worried. What if that venom came from the real one? "No! No! Definitely not. Even if you did recover your spiritual power to the True G.o.d Realm, you still won"t be able to suppress the poison if it is from that divine beast!"
Jiu Shen hesitated when he heard that. "Alright. Maybe I should just keep it to myself now."
Theia hurriedly nodded her head. "Yes! That"s the best thing to do. Now, keep that gla.s.s bottle away and take back this s.h.i.+eld."
Jiu Shen shrugged and kept the gla.s.s bottle inside his s.p.a.ce earring. He then removed the invisible barrier he casted.
Theia heaved a sigh of relief as she went closer to Jiu Shen. She whispered. "Don"t do something stupid next time..."
Jiu Shen smiled and held her to his embrace as he replied in a gentle voice. "I won"t. I promise."
***
One month later.
After suppressing the rebellion of the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family, the newly crowned Queen of the Great Demon Empire re-invited the representatives of major powers from all over the continent to come to celebrate with them in their victory!
Those that came during the first banquet immediately rushed to the newly rebuilt imperial palace to join the celebration and even those who didn"t come last time no longer dared to ignore the second invitation. Who would dare to decline the invitation of the Great Demon Empire?
The Bloodfallen Family has already shown them their true might! Even an undead chimera that was at the late stage Void G.o.d Realm expert was destroyed during the rebellion! The imprisoned members of the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family are living proof of this shocking news!
"Her Majesty Cornelia has arrived!" An imperial guard announced followed by the arrival of Cornelia and her entourage.
All the guests stared at the succubus with complicated emotions. They thought that they could get a piece of the Great Demon Empire, but all their plans fell apart. The reason for that is the man walking behind Cornelia. According to the rumors, he was the very man that killed the undead chimera, the Silent Sword, Ren Shuang!
"Is that human the man they call the Silent Sword?"
"Yes, that"s him! He was the one who killed the chimera! I saw it with my own two eyes! He killed that beast in just one sword move!"
"Then why is he called the Silent Sword?"
"Well. That"s because he rarely speaks. Even Her Majesty Cornelia could hardly make the man talk."
The crowd chattered incessantly the moment they spotted Ren Shuang"s figure. This man has become a legend to them! He was a figure that stood at the peak of the Crimson Fiend Continent! The major powers sent their leaders because of him! Quite a few Void G.o.d Realm experts were even here just to see Ren Shuang!
Cornelia sat on her throne and stared calmly at everyone, but when she noticed that some people were still chattering, she frowned.
Ren Shuang noticed her reaction, so he slammed his scabbard to the ground.
Pa!
Everyone immediately shut their mouths.
Seeing this, Cornelia smiled. "Good day, everyone. Thank you for coming here to celebrate our victory with us. But before we start the banquet, I"d like to suggest something for all of us. Don"t worry, this is something that would only benefit the Crimson Fiend Continent."
The guests furrowed their eyebrows in confusion. They wondered what this newly crowned queen had in mind.
"Our Great Demon Empire is now a subordinate to the Heavenly Sword Tower. That means, all humans will be considered as friends by our empire. Of course, with the exception of those vile criminals..." Cornelia said in a calm tone.
All the representatives were stunned when they heard this. Friends with the humans? Just what did they hear?
Cornelia ignored the grave looks of everyone present. She couldn"t care less about their opinions. "You heard me right. So from now, our human friends must be treated fairly. Am I understood?"
The subjects of the Great Demon Empire immediately offered their support as they answered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Most of the guests soon followed suit and expressed their support to the Queen"s words. However, some people couldn"t accept this, especially those who sold humans as slaves! Their business will completely crumble apart if this happened!
"Your Majesty, I"m sorry but I can"t agree to this.." A solemn voice echoed inside the throne room.
