Chapter 743: Flowing Moon City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
All of the Devil World was drowned in darkness. Li Yunmu, who had just entered it, thought that it would be more magnificent than the Primordial God World, but he only saw desolation and ruins.
Among them, countless beings of the devil race were dithering about making them seem even more desolate. Darkness filled the entire region, yet it was surprisingly that world’s most formidable area.
Li Ying smiled slightly and said, “Youngster, I observed the entire battle between you and those two ancient gods of the Primordial God World, and I felt that you have boundless potential. If you can use it from my side, ha ha, our Devil World will defeat the Primordial God World.”
“Now that the seal had been destroyed, we devils can wantonly charge through the Devil God Well and enter the Ancient Lands. Even if Fuxi and Nuwa are powerful, could they really stop our Devil World’s invasion of the Ancient Lands?
“Moreover, youngster, your aptitude is pretty good; you entered the devil path so quickly. You seem to have some ability and you surely detest those two ancient gods of Primordial God World very much? Our hatred is even greater than yous, however. If not for them, why would we have been forced to live in the world that’s covered in complete darkness?
“The stupid regulation that gods and devils cannot coexist has survived to this day. We devils have been surviving in this crack for eternity while the gods of the Primordial God World have killed countless people from our side. I have endured my hatred for countless years, but finally I can vent it!
“Youngster, your potential is boundless, so it would be better if you followed me! I guarantee that your strength will quickly increase by leaps and bounds. But only as long as you follow me to destroy the entire Primordial God World!”
When Li Yunmu heard Li Ying talk so much, he raised the corners of his lips. “Don’t be all talk and no action! Since you said you can increase my strength, I want to see how can you assist me in increasing my strength. Without seeing the proof, on what basis should I trust you?”
Li Yunmu’s words were focused on the issue of personal profit, and Li Ying became even more sure that the youngster had definitely fallen to the devil path. Only a devil would dare to focus upon the issue of personal profit when faced with the destruction of a world.
“Ha ha ha… Okay, okay, youngster, I appreciate you more and more!”A hint of greed appeared in Li Ying’s eyes, then he continued. “Follow me! I will immediately let you know why we devils are considered more powerful than gods. If you truly pay your allegiance to me, I will appoint you as second-in-command.”
Li Yunmu didn’t care the least bit about any position of power and just wanted more strength. It had to be great enough for him to become an unparalleled expert so that the gods would no longer look down on him as a mortal!
Since he was unable to become a god, he would become a devil!
Ever since he entered the Devil World, the system had become dormant. It might have been because it wasn’t a suitable place for it to operate.
And while it was in the dormant state, Li Yunu was unable to have ordinary communication with it.
Li Ying led Li Yunmu to a desolate region, which allowed Li Yunmu to see more of the Devil World’s dilapidation and an enormous floating island shrouded in a layer of energy not far from them.
The floating island had only one city and behind it was a very tall tree. It was completely black from top to bottom, while its roots hung below the floating island. What Li Yunmu found the most incredulous was that the tree was absolutely gigantic, and its luxuriant leaves were connected with the abyss in the sky of the Devil World.
When he lifted his head to look at the abyss, Li Yunmu instantly felt as if this abyss was quickly devouring him. He could faintly sense that the great tree was the source of all energy in the Devil World.
If the great tree was destroyed, then the entire Devil World would instantly collapse, turning into complete ruins.
“Do you see it? Such a beautiful city, and it is the true Devil World. What you saw before was only the surface. The true Devil World lies in the city, which is extremely flourishing and thriving and where countless humans, gods and devils linger, enjoying themselves!”
“What is this place?” Li Yunmu calmly asked.
“Flowing Moon City! It is the only city of our Devil World! Perhaps you have seen many large and small cities in the divine and human worlds, but our Devil World only has one city. It possesses the world’s most formidable supplement. Do you see the large tree behind the city? It is the carrier of all the energy of our Devil World!
“It is the world tree and the medium which absorbs the energy from the dark abyss that we need to survive. Without it, we devils would die out within a day.”
Li Yunmu smiled sinisterly. “Don’t you feel that it is very stupid to tell me such a secret? Now that I know it, won’t it be easy for me to destroy the Devil World?”
“Ha ha ha, youngster, you are really good at joking. I could see that the hatred between you and Primordial God World is very deep, so I know that you won’t let us down. With your assistance, our Devil World can open up new territories and make vassal states!”
Li Yunmu slightly smiled before continuing. “Then should we enter the Flowing Moon City to take a look? Since we have already reached an oral agreement, don’t you have the least bit of confidence in me?”
Li Yunmu’s words startled Li Ying, and he burst out laughing. “That is natural, then I will invite you to follow me!”
Li Yunmu followed Li Ying and turned into a ball of black energy that instantly entered Flowing Moon City. The layer of energy surrounding the island was unable to obstruct Li Ying from entering, and Li Yunmu couldn’t help but ponder about it.
This Li Ying doesn’t seem easy to deal with. Since he was willing to share these things with me, it means he has the strength to settle the situation if something happens; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a huge risk.
While thinking about his situation, Li Yunmu entered Flowing Moon City after Li Ying. From first glance, he could see that Flowing Moon City was as lively as Li Ying had said. It was just like a fictitious land of peace where the three races—gods, devils, and humans—lived harmoniously together. A little too harmoniously if someone asked Li Yunmu.
“Isn’t this the life that you devils always been yearning for?”
Li Ying smiled coldly at him. “It’s just perfect, but the gods have always misunderstood our cause. They take us to be some crude beasts with the innate temperament just opposite of theirs, so they want to completely eliminate us! We might be a bit crude, but we aren’t as bad as they believe us to be!”
