Berserk God of War

"On this small Demon Scale Island, he can reach the peak of the Martial Enlightenment Realm on his own. With proper cultivation techniques and guidance, he can certainly make rapid progress. It’s just that he has just broken through, so his control over his power is still too weak."

War Tiger followed Sikong Jing’s excuse and continued to elaborate.

Because his control ability was still too weak, the True Qi was chaotic, which is why he knocked out a Golden Body Realm henchman.

Elder Ruan, hearing this, suddenly realized.

His gaze towards Sikong Jing finally changed, no longer indifferent.

"Not bad. It seems you are indeed impressive. Defeating a Golden Body Realm while at the Martial Enlightenment Stage shows you have outstanding battle talent..."

"If you can quickly break through, you are certainly worth nurturing, so I won’t blame you for this incident."

Hearing these words, the henchmen around, full of rage, had stiff expressions but dared not speak more.

As for Sikong Jing, he smiled slightly. Since Elder Ruan needed talented demons, then he’d show exceptional talent.

Thus, this matter could naturally be easily resolved.

However, the next moment, Elder Ruan felt he shouldn’t let the demons’ arrogance grow, so he said haughtily, "But you must quickly learn to control your power. There will be no mercy next time."

"War Tiger, I’ll leave him to you next. Train him well and don’t let what just happened occur again."

Upon hearing this, War Tiger nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The small commotion settled down, and under War Tiger’s arrangement, the demons of Demon Scale Island boarded the Divine Shuttle Ship.

The Divine Shuttle Ship set sail again, heading toward the next Demon Island.

After everything was arranged, War Tiger found Sikong Jing again and asked, "Why can’t you take a little loss?"

At this moment, they were in a room inside the Divine Shuttle Ship.

As the new island master, Sikong Jing was, of course, placed in the best room, while Yinlu and Brother Daniu stayed next door.

This was naturally War Tiger’s arrangement; in this regard, he still had some say.

And War Tiger had realized that Sikong Jing couldn’t have merely lost control of his power; losing control would’ve been bizarre... He originally had the existence of the Spirit Martial Stage, and having rebuilt, how could he not control the True Qi?

It was clear he didn’t want to take a loss or be bullied and humiliated by the Human Clan, directly retaliating.

But such rebellion, if not handled well, could lead to major incidents and deaths, which nearly scared War Tiger to death just now.

Sikong Jing, upon hearing this, gave a cold smile: "In my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low among the Human Clan, demons, and even demon beasts. I hate being enslaved and despise their oppression."

"Now, I can certainly pretend to please them, but I will only do so in my own way."

"What I want is for this Elder Ruan not to dare, even not to be able, to touch me."

Sikong Jing’s words were unequivocal, and his eyes exuded a cold Demon Intent, leaving War Tiger momentarily startled.

But soon, a complex expression flashed in War Tiger’s eyes... There was reminiscence, emotion, and a deep bitterness.

He slowly sat down in front of Sikong Jing, speaking in a lowered voice: "Once, I was like you, thinking that with my talent, I could resist the Cangyu Sect, leading all demons to no longer endure their enslavement and oppression."

"But as I grew stronger, the reality I saw became unspeakably cruel."

"Do you know? Elder Ruan is just a small Outer Sect Elder of the Cangyu Sect, and among the Outer Sect Elders, he isn’t even the strongest. His position isn’t low only because... he trained me."

With this statement, Sikong Jing slightly raised his head, but he wasn’t surprised.

Just as he thought before, being able to imprison Ba Zhun and the Six Clawed Mixed Beast, this Cangyu Sect is undoubtedly powerful...

Certainly possessing the terrifying existence of the Divine Martial Stage!

"He nurtured me, a demon of the Emperor Realm, so in the Outer Sect of Cangyu Sect, he gained a decent position."

"Meaning, even if I reach the Emperor Realm, I’m still merely the small servant of a decent Outer Sect Elder."

"Do you know how powerless that feels?"

As War Tiger spoke, Sikong Jing’s breathing became rapid, though his expression remained unchanged.

His urgency was solely due to the plight of War Tiger and the demons.

"In front of the vast and terrifying Cangyu Sect, we demons are as insignificant as ants. The strongest among us can only reach the top-level Emperor Realm, and aspiring beyond that is impossible."

Sikong Jing suddenly raised his head, naturally signaling... why?

Logically, since War Tiger could reach the Emperor Realm, then demons should historically have existed in the Holy Martial Stage.

"Because they do not allow it..."

War Tiger gritted his teeth, continuing as he looked up...

"The Cangyu Sect doesn’t permit any demons to reach the Holy Martial Stage. Anyone who reaches the top-level Emperor will have their realm locked, never able to advance a step further, and our rebels die."

"Hundreds of years ago, there was a demon predecessor with heavenly talent who broke through the realm lock and reached the Holy Martial Stage."

"The result was that at the instant of breakthrough, he was slain with a sword that came out of nowhere."

"Moreover, this was done even before the Absolute Array Gate was opened, with him being directly killed."

As War Tiger explained bit by bit, Sikong Jing’s expression sank slightly.

Being able to kill a demon who reached the Holy Martial Stage even before the Absolute Array Gate could open depicted the Cangyu Sect as more terrifying than imagined...

"Don’t attempt rebellion; it’s useless," War Tiger profoundly stated.

His enormously broad face was full of distortion and suffocation, and his intention was certainly goodwill towards Sikong Jing, merely not wanting him killed.

Sikong Jing, however, remained silent, not responding.

He just took a light breath and then asked: "Elder War Tiger, could you tell me everything about the Divine Demon Archipelago? I want to know everything here, about the Absolute Array Gate, the Desert Sea Absolute Array, and even everything about the prison."

Having entered the main topic, Sikong Jing now sought to understand everything.

What Sikong Jing currently knew about the Divine Demon Island was mostly from Yinlu’s talks, too vague.

To this, War Tiger nodded bitterly; even if Sikong Jing didn’t ask, he would have said it, and so he explained everything, taking almost an hour before he staggered away.

Before leaving, War Tiger solemnly warned: "Now that you know everything, just ensure you curry favor with Elder Ruan’s lineage, and stop trying to challenge the Cangyu Sect and the Human Clan."

"Of course, if you really can’t take it, just escape back to your island."

"I’ll also help you; after all, your island hasn’t been discovered by the Cangyu Sect yet, remember, remember."

War Tiger left, leaving Sikong Jing alone in the room, closing his eyes slightly.

"So the Divine Demon Islands are so mysterious, even marvelous. And the power restraining Ba Zhun and the Six Clawed Mixed Beast isn’t from the Cangyu Sect, but from the unknown Guardian of the Divine Demon Island, unknown even to the Cangyu Sect and the demons."

Through War Tiger’s recount, Sikong Jing fully understood everything.

The Divine Demon Islands have existed since ancient times, and War Tiger didn’t know when they, the demons, appeared on each of the islands. As long as there has been documentation about demons, they have been enslaved by the Cangyu Sect.

Demons can freely traverse the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain, an area also having the Desert Sea Absolute Array, without being blasted by its power.

However, the Cangyu Sect and the Human Clan cannot...
