Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2454

Chapter 2454: Sheltered by the Absolute Power

"I’m so scared," Yuan replied in a sarcastic tone after hearing Zaaran’s words.

"Just you wait! I will kill—no! I will turn you into my puppet and have you serve me for the rest of your life, just as Kulas had done!"

"You talk too much, Zaaran. Hurry up and get your ass here so I can finally punch that ugly face of yours!" Yuan laughed madly.

Zaaran offered no response. In the next instant, Owen’s treasure detonated, releasing a violent surge of Eternal Essence that blasted outward like a bomb.

Zaaran probably thought it would harm Yuan a little, but he could’ve never anticipated that his actions would actually benefit Yuan, who absorbed all of the Eternal Essence and turned it into his own strength.

Though it wasn’t much, Yuan needed as much Eternal Essence as he could before fighting Zaaran.

Even though he was the one who picked the fight, Yuan realized that he might have rushed things a little too much out of passion and anger.

Not only does he not know Zaaran’s prowess, but he wasn’t sure he could defeat an Eternal in his current state, especially when the Absolute Power wasn’t there to suppress the Eternal’s powers.

However, even if he wasn’t confident he could defeat Zaaran, and there was a chance things might turn out badly for him, Yuan had no intention of backing away from a fight he started, especially when his opponent was Zaaran, one of the first Eternals to offend him.

"You... what have you done?" Selena asked, staring at Yuan with a dumbfounded expression.

Though she hadn’t heard their conversation, the look on Yuan’s face—and the fact that the treasure had exploded right in his face—was more than enough to tell her things had gone very, very wrong.

"Oh, it’s nothing serious. I just picked a fight with the bastard, and he agreed, so we’ll be fighting in seven days from now."

"What?!" Selena exclaimed in shock. "Why would you do that? This being is potentially as powerful as the Demon God, no?"

"Who knows? I will find out when I fight him." Yuan casually shrugged.

"But why?" Selena asked again.

"Because I already know this Eternal, and I have a grudge with it."

"What about us?" Lev suddenly asked.

Yuan turned to look at them and said, "This is a battle you won’t be able to participate in, so just stay here and wait for my return."

"Supreme Ruler Grant... you can return to the Crimson Continent if you want, as your presence is no longer necessary—even though you haven’t been of any use at all."

"Really?!" Supreme Ruler Grant’s face immediately brightened with delight and relief.

"Just make sure you remember never to invade my world because I won’t spare you for a second time."

Supreme Ruler Grant vigorously nodded his head.

"I swear upon the Demon God’s name that I won’t even think about invading your world! Then, I will leave now!"

Without hesitation or waiting for another moment, he turned around and started flying away at maximum speed, as if he were worried that Yuan might suddenly change his mind.

In the blink of an eye, Supreme Ruler Grant vanished from their sights.

"That’s not the direction to the Crimson Continent, though." Selena eventually remarked.

"I’m sure he’ll figure it out." Yuan said.

"Anyway... I have something I must do before Zaaran gets here..."

Yuan slowly lifted his head, his gaze rising toward the heavens, but his focus wasn’t the sky itself. Instead, he seemed to be looking at something beyond it.

"Deemo! I know you’re watching this! How long do you intend to stay quiet?!" Yuan roared out loud.

"Deemo?" Selena raised an eyebrow at this unfamiliar name, unaware that it was the Demon God’s true name.

In the very next moment, an unfathomable presence descended—one that did not merely engulf Death Paradise, but spread across the entirety of the Demonic Realm.

"This presence...?!" Selena’s entire body stiffened as she instantly recognized it, her expression turning deathly pale as fear overtook her features.

Lev trembled as well, but his fear was instinctive—an involuntary reaction to the overwhelming presence. In contrast, Selena’s terror was born from experience, making it far more profound.

Selena turned to look at Yuan, who remained as calm as before. In fact, he was probably the only person in the world who could remain calm at this moment.

Before she could utter a single word, a silhouette materialized a few meters in front of Yuan like a phantom.

It bore the shape of a human, yet its entire form was pitch black—like a figure carved from the void itself. Its head was smooth and round, devoid of hair, and its face... was completely featureless.

"What do you want from me now?" Deemo spoke first.

"Are you seriously asking me that? As if you don’t already know the situation," Yuan replied.

"..." Deemo fell silent for a moment before speaking again, "Once again, you are putting my world in danger—"

"Now hold it right there."

Yuan suddenly interrupted.
