"DIVINE PARAGON?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Demon Emperor Carnage screamed in terror before instinctively yanking his arm trying to break free from Yuan’s grasp, pulling so hard that he ripped his own arm out.
Blood gushed everywhere for a second before another arm regenerated, sealing the wound.
"Divine Paragon...?" Qian Chu and Yan Hara turned to look at Yuan with a dumbfounded face.
"That’s impossible! The Divine Paragon is dead! There’s no way he could be here right now!" Qian Chu did not believe for a second that the Divine Paragon was still alive, much less appear before them right now.
Demon Emperor Carnage had tried to spread news of the Divine Paragon’s return shortly after their encounter, but nobody believed him, so he gave up on trying.
Meanwhile, Yan Hara released a relieved sigh.
"Yuan..." she murmured softly before collapsing onto the ground from sheer exhaustion.
Her body instinctively recognized his presence as safety, causing the last bit of strength sustaining her to finally give out.
The Demon Sealing Flag wrapped its cloth around Yan Hara before carrying her away.
"So, have you managed to summon an Ancient yet?" Yuan suddenly asked Demon Emperor Carnage.
"That is none of your business!" Demon Emperor Carnage shouted.
"It isn’t? Even though you used their existence to threaten me before?" Yuan remarked with a calm smile.
"That’s..." Demon Emperor Carnage gritted his teeth.
"What’s going on here, Carnage?!" Qian Chu suddenly approached him and questioned.
"I just told you! He’s the Divine Paragon!" Demon Emperor Carnage shouted angrily.
"You expect me to believe that?! The Divine Paragon is dead! He may look like the Divine Paragon, but that’s all!"
Qian Chu said.
Then he remembered something and smiled coldly, "You must be that newcomer I have heard a lot about. The one who resembles the Divine Paragon—Little Founder."
"I must admit, you are a splitting image of the Divine Paragon. Unfortunately for you, I am not foolish enough to fall for such trickery!"
Yuan looked at Qian Chu for a second before returning to Demon Emperor Carnage and saying, "Working together with a homunculus? I thought you hated their kind."
"?!?!" Qian Chu’s eyes widened in disbelief after hearing Yuan’s words.
Then, without warning, swung at Yuan while exuding an immense amount of killing intent.
"How do you know about my kind?!" he roared.
Yuan casually dodged the attack and replied, "How? I was present during the purge of your ’kind’, even offering some assistance. To think one would still stand before me right now..."
Homunculus were artificial beings created through a forbidden technique that has existed even before the Great Cataclysm, brought into existence for a single purpose—to satisfy the twisted curiosity of a mad demon.
During Tian Chenyu’s first visit to the Demonic Realm, Homunculus existed in great numbers, wreaking havoc across the Crimson Continent. In response, he had aided Supreme Ruler Dena in eradicating them from existence by killing the mad demon and destroying his research.
"You..." Qian Chu suddenly started walking backwards in small steps, his face twisted with disbelief.
Yuan then said, "I heard something quite entertaining earlier. You can help him summon an Ancient, is that right?"
"So what if I can?" Qian Chu subconsciously responded.
"I really want to see one—an Ancient. So, I am willing to let you live until then."
