Chapter 857 - 696: Breaking the Deadlock, the Heavenly Demon’s Identity
"Heavenly Demon... Heavenly Demon, I know who the Heavenly Demon is, but I can’t say! If I do, I’ll be punished by the Heavenly Demon, I’ll turn to ashes, never to have a chance of revival, and I will die without a grave."
Liu Changfeng’s words were filled with a sense of ambiguity and struggle as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.
Even though he now looked as dazed as a piece of wood, he still wouldn’t reveal the identity of the Heavenly Demon.
It was as if a shackle had been placed on him, causing him, even in his most vulnerable moments, to remain vigilant and not dare to relax for a second.
Qin An, seeing this situation, turned to Yang Huan and gave him a look, saying, "Put in more effort. He is now wavering and conflicted, just add another spark, and he’ll reveal the truth behind the scenes."
Yang Huan nodded and then continued to infuse Void Essence, making the radiance of the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone even more intense.
At this moment, Yang Huan’s forehead was already drenched with beads of sweat.
To him, activating the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone was also an extremely exhausting task.
He was consuming Void Essence every instant, and with any slight negligence, his Void Essence could be entirely depleted.
But now, this information was not only important to Qin An but also significant to them, the Defenders, and even more crucial to saving this world.
Hence, Yang Huan did not relax in the slightest, adding another push.
When the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone was infused with the Void Essence, the light it emitted became increasingly brilliant, and as it shone on Liu Changfeng’s body, his expression turned more and more vacant.
Originally he had been wandering back and forth in his conflict and complexity, but when the light completely surged in, he completely gave up resisting, the conflict and complexity in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a blank stare, like an old, decaying piece of wood.
Liu Changfeng slowly spoke, "The Heavenly Demon is those people from other worlds, we call them Domain Outer Heavenly Demons, they come from a very, very powerful world."
"They are numerous, each one of them is a paragon of that world and the most elite among them, so when they gather together, other worlds cannot resist..."
As Liu Changfeng spoke to this point, the scene fell silent, like dead water.
The gaze of everyone present carried a hint of shock, no one had expected such an incredibly startling answer.
Because in their imaginations, this differed greatly from the assumed identity of the Heavenly Demon.
But these words came from Liu Changfeng, and even with the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone as a guide, there was still a hint of fear, proving that what he said was true.
Yang Huan, upon hearing this, swallowed repeatedly, an expression of horror appearing on his face.
"If this is the case, why would they destroy other worlds?"
According to what Liu Changfeng just said, those Heavenly Demons are rulers of various powerful worlds, clearly able to live freely in their worlds, why take on immense risks to destroy other worlds?
This doesn’t make sense, there must be an enormous secret hidden within this.
Liu Changfeng’s face showed a pained expression, "I don’t know either, we’re just dogs under the Heavenly Demons. Whatever they instruct us to do, how could we possibly know their true reasons?"
When he said he was a dog, his face also showed a trace of shame.
After all, as a traitor, he was once one of the most brilliant talents of those times.
So becoming someone else’s dog was something they always felt uncomfortable with inside.
However, they wanted to survive, not lose their lives, hence they endured this feeling of distress, continually committing heinous acts.
Of course, wrongdoing is wrongdoing.
Their actions are not deserving of pity.
Qin An thought for a moment and did not dwell on this issue.
The identity of the Heavenly Demon is important, and this information is also significant, but this information currently isn’t usable.
What he most wants to know now is why the Celestial Demon General Envoy brought him here to this Forbidden Area.
He can’t believe the Celestial Demon General Envoy merely brought him in here to let him fend for himself.
The worst-case scenario is that the Celestial Demon General Envoy wants to kill him.
Liu Changfeng’s body temperature suddenly rose, and his face no longer held the previous conflicted expression.
Because he had already revealed a crucial secret, under the influence of the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone, as he divulged more secrets, everything seemed so natural.
Liu Changfeng continued, "The Lord Chief Envoy’s goal is simple. He actually wants to kill you, using this special method to enter this Defender Forbidden Area, dragging all the Defender Forbidden Areas into disarray, leading them to destruction; this is the first phase."
"The second phase is to deal a severe blow to the confidence of the Daqian Kingdom, because besides you, no one else can break through that invisible barrier."
"And once they are severely hit, morale shall inevitably drop, which will also affect their actual combat effectiveness; this is the second plan."
"Another third phase is the intention to kill you, as the Savior, the Defenders are bound to send you messages. As long as you come here, the Lord Chief Envoy at the Celestial Human Realm will have a faint sense."
