Chapter 18: The Black-hearted Boss Zhang Zilong

  But it is said that in the chaos of old, there were three snake-shaped demons. One was Fu Xi, with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a dragon. Another was the previous incarnation of the Holy Mother Nuwa, with half her body as a beautiful woman and half as a snake tail. The last one is Zhang Zilong's new pet - Ge Lan.

  No wonder this giant snake is actually the sister of Fuxi and Nüwa! Its origin is quite impressive!

  As for how they ended up in the Devil's Domain, that's another story. In short, it all boils down to four words: survival of the fittest. The demonic gods in the Chaos believed in this creed even more deeply. At that time, the three siblings, Nüwa and her brothers, were just low-ranking demons at the very bottom of the hierarchy. Although each of them had a cultivation level of quasi-sainthood, in an era where saints were as common as dogs and heavenly dao-level experts roamed everywhere, their experiences were simply a tragic history of blood and tears.

  Ge Lan was captured by the demon god at that time and became a pet, and his originally emerald green body was also polluted by this intense and filthy energy, until he fell to where he is today.

  "I'm sweating... um... Song Lan, you're really pitiful, okay? Wait till I return to the palace, I'll find a way for you to recover your body!" Zhang Zilong stroked the snake head lying beside him.

  Ge Lan didn't react at all, what a joke, this girl has no memory of anything, as simple-minded as an infant, what kind of reaction can you expect from her?

  As for the master of this mysterious domain, Mo Shen Miao, he was originally just an ordinary demon god at the level of a saint. However, after capturing Ge Lan and seizing her Great Dao Stone, he possessed the two great principles of speed and time, and in a short period of time, he soared to the level of a Tian Dao Saint. Among the chaotic demon gods, he is also considered a top-notch expert.

  It was also because of this that he did not die in the catastrophe of Pangu's opening of the sky, but due to insufficient energy, after opening up the nine-layered demon domain world, he fell exhausted.

  That is to say, there are two Da Dao stones in the nine-layer demon domain. Of course, this is just the prince's guess. In theory, the Da Dao stone will disappear after the demon gods die. He guessed that Song Lan didn't really die, and whether he could still find her stone was unknown, while Mo Xuan's was almost impossible to find.

  "Slap!" Zhang Zilong slapped his own forehead: "All of you, wake up! Hmm... what's wrong with these angels?" Looking at the white wings that had fainted in unison, the prince was speechless. This is a battle, how can they all be sleeping?! He thought to himself: It's still because their quality isn't strong enough, look at this, it's so undisciplined! When I get back, I'll have to instruct my daughter properly, or else we'll be abandoned by the times!

  "Get up, all of you!" The angry roar was like a slap in the face, and the crowd, which had been dazed just moments before, suddenly came to life and stood up straight.

  The women also got tired of this rough man and each rolled their eyes, ignoring Zhang Zilong.

  Looking at the crowd who had sobered up, Zhang Zilong nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone, cheer up! We're going to dig for ore and find stones later!"

  As he spoke, he stretched out a finger, and a faint blue energy slowly formed a sparkling crystal on his fingertip. The crystal had six facets, each etched with golden lines, exuding an ancient, mysterious aura.

  "Hey, it's this stone that has gotten everyone's eyes wide open. Go find it and you'll be heavily rewarded by the prince! As for Lucifer... In Zhang Zilong's opinion, he must know where the Great Dao Stone is. So, let's divide the work: others will search in a carpet-like manner, while he and Song Ran will go to Lucifer's lair, with both hands grasping, both wanting to be strong."

  "Uh, boss, didn't find anything, is there any labor fee?" Ao Cong's big face suddenly came closer.

  "Damn it! No way! You're all free labor! What's wrong, got a problem?" With a slap, Ao Bing was sent flying out, his face included, and glared at the crowd with malice. These people were too ungrateful, the young master hadn't even made much from this robbery yet (not to mention that pair of top-grade innate treasures, the wings...), and they already wanted a share of the spoils? Truly not following the script...

  Everyone saw that struggling to get up, with a few dragon teeth falling down from his mouth, looking extremely miserable. How dare you still mention opinions? No way, he is the boss, you are just an employee, if he wants to bully you, he will bully you, if he doesn't want to give you wages, don't even think about it, just honestly do your work!

  Look at the angel warriors and those hundred or so Taiyi Golden Immortals, as well as that group of women who followed him, all gloomily dividing up to dig for ore. The young master especially wanted to smoke a cigar, then sat in his armchair and rocked back and forth twice, because he thought of that very loving profession from the future - coal boss! Haha, make your own fortune, let others cry!

  "Cough, okay, Xiao Ge Lan, shrink a bit and take me to the Maze Temple, catch those black bird people." After finishing the tasks on this side, the prince turned around and patted Xiao Ge Lan's giant snake body.

  The giant snake shook its body lightly and quickly shrunk, turning into a small black snake that was only over a meter long and as wide as the mouth of a wine cup.

  She let out a soft cry and wrapped herself around Zhang Zilong's arm, rubbing her head against him several times to show affection.

  Zhang Zilong burst out laughing and put away the treasure, then according to Song Lan's information, he plunged headfirst into that volcano-like portal.

  In the nine-layered demon realm, in the depths of the canyon, that massive demonic temple flickered with a faint blue light, unchanged for countless years. A quiet, deathly atmosphere wrapped around the towering, cloud-piercing architecture of the grand hall, while the valley was filled with purple wisteria flowers, each one shrouded in a misty, pale blue haze, making it seem like an earthly paradise if only the colors were a bit more vibrant.

  Suddenly, a huge stone gate appeared in the sky, as if it had torn open a hole in the sky. Then, a group of figures emerged, who were none other than Lucifer and his daughter, who had escaped to the Demon Realm, along with the fallen angel.

  Lucifer rushed into the temple as soon as he appeared, and the fallen angels also understood that their master's buttocks were bare, and they all had a worried look.

  Lilith watched as her old dad flew away, and in her heart, there was also a sense of desolation. She had thought that by transforming into a fallen angel, she could make up for the deficiencies with which she was born, but unfortunately, it all came to nothing. Except for the pair of small steamed buns on her chest, which had turned into large bread loaves and looked even more sexy, there were no changes anywhere else.

  In a little while, Lucifer changed into another suit of clothes and came out. The fallen angels also fell on the square in front of the magic temple.

  Only to see the fallen angel king Lucifer's face turned iron green, his white hands clenched together, those green veins almost bursting out. It can be seen how this child was bullied.

  "Father...the enemy will be upon us soon, what shall we do now?" Lirius looked at her father with concern.

  "It's okay, the entrance of the demon temple is guarded by that giant snake. With its sixteen-winged (准圣) level strength and its massive demonic body, they won't be able to get in for a while." Lucifer obviously overestimated Song Lan's strength and underestimated the prince's overbearingness.

  Lilith thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with her father's comfort, now she could only hope so, after all, she couldn't wish for the giant snake to fail and let the enemy rush in.

  "Now you all sweep away the magic temple separately, and gather here an hour later. We will leave this place..."

  "Damn it, Lucifer is not simple at all. Despite suffering such humiliation, he can still think rationally and make a decisive strategic shift. What's even more infuriating is that he actually wants to take away the prince's spoils of war! This is something that Uncle can't tolerate, and Aunt will definitely go ballistic!"

  Watching the fallen angels fly away, Lucifer slowly loosened his tightly clenched right hand, and inside it was quietly lying a crystal stone. The mysterious golden pattern on it was exactly the Dahao Stone that the Crown Prince had been longing for!

  With a hint of confusion, Lucifer muttered to himself: This is the treasure left behind by that dead ghost Satan before his body disappeared, but what it's used for, Lucifer has no idea at all. However, following the principle of not leaving any sweetness for the enemy, he still took it out from the depths of the magic temple.

  At this moment, the nine-layered demon realm, countless volcanoes were pushed by angels and golden immortals, and then a group of Yellow Turban warriors appeared, moving mountains and seas to pull out rocks.

  In the sky, four dragon princes and many women were busy directing and dispatching with ease. What a magnificent movement of excavating mountains and opening mines! I wonder if in modern times, these guys could make a name for themselves in Shanxi with this skill? Ha ha!

  At this moment, the prince is following Song Lan's instructions, shuttling through a pale space, with only a few dull stars around him, and no other objects.

  After about half a time, the prince finally saw the stone gate in front of him.

  The armrests of the sedan chair were excitedly hissing with snake-like sounds, and the prince knew that they had arrived. They landed in front of a stone gate, and the prince looked up at the vivid carvings on top of it. It was clear that this was a very ancient story, and the main character was the fallen demon god. The story included the demon god's sneak attack on the three siblings of Song Lan, and the capture of the youngest Song Lan.

  "Hiss... Looking at the sculptures on the stone gate, it actually contains mysterious and unpredictable rules. In those days, this group of chaotic magic gods was strong to what extent! Zhang Zilong secretly admired in his heart, and even more determined to take that great dao stone, to prove the determination of the great dao!"

  He tightened his grip on the God-slaying spear, and the Crown Prince forcefully pushed open the stone gate. After a blinding flash of light, a massive palace appeared before him, larger than any he had ever seen before. At a glance, it seemed to stretch on forever!

  "The Labyrinth of the Demon God!"
