I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

189 The Shaken Demon Capital

The statues of the top 10 demon kings were not just simple statues.

Each statue contained a wisp of the particular demon king’s soul. It constantly emanated the aura of that demon king, suppressing the Demon Capital and terrorizing the thousands of demon beasts in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!

Now that the Sky Snake demon king’s statue collapsed and fell, it undoubtedly only meant one thing.

At this moment, the Sky Snake demon king, one of the top 10 demon kings of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons…

Fallen!

“This, this, this, this…”

Unknowingly, the aardvark’s small eyes were already wide open.

He took a few steps back and looked at the fragments of the statue flying everywhere, feeling the sorrowful atmosphere in the air. For a moment, he could not say a complete sentence. “No… It’s not me… It’s not…”

To him, what had just happened was beyond his imagination. It was even more unbelievable than a dream.

A moment ago, he was still praising the invincibility of the demon kings. Even the Sky Snake demon king, who was at the bottom, had the terrifying power to crush any demon.

However, in the next moment…

The Sky Snake demon king had died!

At this moment, the eight kids clapped their hands in unison and laughed. “Come, come, come. Big pig, come and brag again. Unleash your greatest bragging!”

“Of course… Ah, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!”

The aardvark opened its mouth with great difficulty, but in the end, it could not say a single word.

Although what happened just now seemed rather ridiculous, what if it happened again? Then he really would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yuanqing River!

“Don’t look at me. I don’t know anything!” he replied with a shudder.

“We understand, we understand!” The eight kids clapped and laughed. “Again, again!”

“…” said the aardvark.

As the statue of the Sky Snake demon king shattered, an invisible storm quickly spread to every corner of the Demon Capital with the Demon Divine Palace as the starting point.

A demon king had fallen!

Although there had been cases of demon kings dying in the past, there was no doubt that no matter which era it was, the death of a demon king was a huge shocking event!

Almost overnight, all kinds of rumors arose in the Demon Capital. There was a sense of restlessness everywhere. Some thought that it was an unprecedented ominous sign for a demon king to suddenly die as the Holy Son arrived!

However, there were also radical demon beasts who believed that the birth of the Demon Clan’s Holy Son was a sign of the Demon Clan’s prosperity. The reason why the Sky Snake demon king died was purely because his strength was already outdated. He was not worthy of his position and was not worthy of bathing in the glory of the Holy Son.

Yes…

In the current Demon Capital, there was undoubtedly only one important thing.

—The birth of the Holy Son!

It was said that the Holy Son came from the Holy Embryo that had condensed the destiny of the Demon Clan for a thousand years. He was destined to lead the entire Demon Clan to glory. More than 10 years ago, the Holy Embryo had already been born secretly. After more than 10 years of nurturing, the Holy Son finally welcomed the moment of its birth not long ago!

On that day, all the demons around the Demon Capital saw a shocking scene.

A magnificent light descended from the sky and there were auspicious clouds over an area of 30 miles!

It was also on that day.

Countless demon beasts in the Demon Capital felt a sense of an extremely noble aura. It was sacred and extraordinary, possessing a natural authority, and it had truly descended upon this world!

Without a doubt, whether it was the arrival of the Holy Son or the fall of the demon king, it could be said to be an unprecedented event in the vast Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. And when these two happy… ahem, when these two events were combined, it instantly turned into a devouring storm.

Therefore, not long after, the Holy Son issued a decree from the Demon Divine Palace, shocking the entire Demon Capital.

“The Demon Capital is under martial law! Anyone who enters or exits the Demon Capital must undergo checks!”

“Anyone who violates this order… will be killed without mercy!”

The moment this decree was released, the entire city was in shock.

Many demons were extremely dissatisfied with this. After all, although the title of the Holy Son of the Demon Clan sounded scary, it did not give much of an orthodox feeling to most demons.

If he did not have any astounding battle record, how could he convince the masses only with a title, particularly within the Demon Clan which placed a lot of importance on real strength?

However, not long after, another majestic aura appeared in the Demon Divine Palace. This one was heavy and vast, suppressing the hearts of all living beings.

This time round, all the demons did not dare to move.

This was because although this aura rarely appeared and did not belong to any of the top 10 demon kings, everyone knew that the strength of the aura’s owner was not inferior to the top 10 demon kings.

It was the personal guard of the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, as well as the ruler’s spokesperson—

The Lion King.

The Lion King represented the will of the Ruler!

This meant that the Holy Son’s current action had already received the endorsement of the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

This time, no one dared to raise any objections.

“Oh my goodness—”

Outside the Demon Capital.

A voice suddenly came out of the ground. Its face was filled with fear as it panted heavily. “A demon king has fallen, the Holy Son has appeared, and the Ruler supports it… It looks like changes are coming in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!”

“Changes? I don’t think so!”

At this moment, eight uniform voices came from beside it, startling the aardvark so much that it jumped three feet high. It panted heavily and looked to its side. At some point in time, the eight arrogant kids had followed it out. They tailed it the entire time, but it did not notice them at all!

The aardvark’s heart skipped a beat and it could not help but feel a little confused. “When did you guys follow me?”

The eight kids giggled and said, “When you were so frightened that you fled underground, we were already following behind you. We didn’t expect you to be so timid even though you look quite scary…”

The aardvark immediately trembled again. “That, that’s the death of a demon king! What if the grand demons up there investigate and think that there’s something wrong with me, and then they directly kill me? I’m still young. I still have to enter the Demon Imperial Tombs. I can’t die here!”

“You’re still young?” The eight kids looked extremely surprised. “You give us the feeling that you’re almost two feet into the grave. Also, although you’ve run out of the Demon Capital, don’t you have to go back in again later?”

The aardvark was stunned when he heard that. “Oh yes… yes! What’s the use of running out now? If I want to enter the Demon Imperial Tombs, I have to return to the Demon Capital. Once I return to the Demon Capital, I have to be checked by the guards. If they target me, I definitely can’t escape…”

“So, you’re dead meat!”

The eight kids laughed resolutely, making the aardvark grit his teeth. It really wanted to beat these eight brats up.

However, it felt sad to discover…

It still did not dare to do so.

It was obvious that there was an expert backing up these eight brats. If it dared to attack without any care, it would definitely suffer the most bloody revenge and attack!

Boom—

Suddenly, an obscure fluctuation came over and everyone looked up towards the distant sky.

A stone war chariot slowly drove out of the void.

The eight kids’ eyes instantly lit up as they drooled. “Good treasure, what a good treasure…”

The aardvark’s eyelids twitched as it suddenly had a bad premonition.

…
