“That’s right, a nose ring!” Zhou Shu clapped his hands. “Jianghe, if we put a nose ring on the demonic beasts, can we make them listen obediently?”

Xiao Jianghe was stunned, then smiled bitterly. “How is that possible?

“Demonic beasts are different from ordinary beasts. They have their own consciousness. Even if we can put a nose ring on them, that little amount of pain can be ignored by demonic beasts…”

“The nose ring is only a metaphor.” Zhou Shu pondered. “It can be a nose ring or a… Ring Tightening Mantra!

“In the past, there was a very powerful Demon King. Because he wore the Ring Tightening Mantra, even an ordinary person with no cultivation could command him.”

Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. “If I can forge the Ring Tightening Mantra…”

Thinking about it, the Ring Tightening Mantra could even subdue the Great Sage, Sun Wukong. Wouldn’t it be easy to subdue Great Demons?

But how should he cast this Ring Tightening Mantra?

Zhou Shu alternated between frowning and pacing, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Xiao Jianghe found it strange, but he couldn’t help Zhou Shu. He could only stand quietly to the side.

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Shu sighed.

“No, none of these ideas will work.” He shook his head. “Forget it. I can’t rush this. I have to take it slow.”

Zhou Shu was not omnipotent after all. The Ring Tightening Mantra wasn’t something that he could create just by thinking about it.

If demonic beasts could be controlled so easily, the Demon Realm wouldn’t be so powerful.

Boom—

While they were talking, a loud noise came from outside.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the look in each other’s eyes. They quickly walked out of the tent and saw Yao Li’s figure soar into the sky.

And in the sky, dark clouds closed in and lightning flashed.

Thick dark clouds gathered with powerful pressure. The originally bright sky was now pitch-black.

In the dark clouds, rolling lightning could be seen with the naked eye, as if the end of the world had arrived. All the demonic beasts were silent.

When Zhou Shu had forged connate divine weapons, it had also caused a phenomenon. But compared to this phenomenon, it was nothing.

Such a huge commotion shocked Zhou Shu.

At this moment, Great Demon Yao Li suddenly soared into the sky, his laughter echoing in the air.

“I’m going to become a Demon King today! No one can stop me?”

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the sky and struck Yao Li.

Yao Li wasn’t afraid at all, his face filled with fighting spirit. The aura on his body soared, and his originally thick body became even thicker. On his forehead, the pattern of the word ‘king’ faintly appeared, and yellow and white fur grew on his body.

He became like a tiger standing upright!

Yao Li had the bloodline of a tiger demon!

Boom—

Yao Li shattered the descending lightning with a punch. At the same time, his beautiful fur instantly turned black.

“Come again!” Yao Li roared. “We have nothing to lose. If we’re not convinced, we’ll fight!

“I’m about to become a Demon King. Can you stop me?”

His beard and hair fluttered, and his aura surged.

The next moment, his figure was drowned by lightning.

Zhou Shu’s eyelids twitched. Heavenly tribulation?

A Great Demon needs to face a heavenly tribulation to become a Demon King?

Ever since he started cultivating the Martial Dao, he had never heard of the existence of a heavenly tribulation in this world.

But the scene in front of him was identical to the heavenly tribulation he had heard about in his previous life.

When powerful cultivators cultivated to a certain extent, they would arouse the fear of heaven and earth, so it would send down heavenly tribulation to kill these cultivators.

It was the same for Zhou Shu’s connate divine weapons.

Zhou Shu was shocked, not just because of the heavenly tribulation.

But how did Yao Li break through?

It was not a problem to say that it was a dividing line for Great Demons to become Demon Kings. The Demon Realm had existed for countless years, and there were only twelve Demon Kings, but there were definitely thousands of Great Demons.

Most Great Demons couldn’t cultivate to the Demon King realm in their entire lives.

This was just like how most martial artists on the Ten Nations Continent would never be able to break through to become high-rank martial arts.

Although Yao Li was not bad, he could only be considered good among Great Demons. He was still a distance away from the top Great Demons.

At the very least, he was far from being a match for Yao Qing’s mother, the number one demon below the Demon Kings.

Not to mention Zhou Shu, probably none of the demonic beasts in the entire Demon Realm would have thought that Great Demon Yao Li would catch up and break through to the Demon King realm first!

The might of the heavenly tribulation was vast, and everyone within a radius of thousands of kilometers could clearly see this commotion.

For a moment, countless Great Demons walked out of their cave abodes and looked at the heavenly tribulation in bewilderment.

Demonic laughter kept coming from the lightning, mixed with his shouts.

“We have nothing to lose. If we’re not convinced, we’ll fight! Heaven, I’m not convinced! Why can’t I be a Demon King? If you have the ability, kill me. If you can’t, I’ll definitely become a Demon King today!

“I, Yao Li—no, I, Hu Li, am extraordinary!”

Great Demons could only have the surname of ‘Yao’, but Demon Kings were qualified to have their own surname.

Yao Li had long thought about it. When he became a Demon King, he would use the surname ‘Hu’. Hu Li sounded more domineering than Yao Li¹!

Zhou Shu: “…”

Could it be because of what I said that Yao Li turned over a new leaf and abandoned literature to pursue the Martial Dao?

Is that how he had a chance to break through to the Demon King realm?

Surely not? That can’t be the case?

Zhou Shu was a little confused. He had spouted nonsense because he didn’t want Yao Li to come into contact with human civilization.

He definitely had no intention of helping Yao Li break through.

Don’t Great Demons need to comprehend the laws of the Martial Dao to break through to the Demon King realm? If they don’t understand words, it should be even harder to comprehend.

What’s going on with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yao Li?

Zhou Shu scratched his head hard. Could it be that my nonsense helped Yao Li?

That would be rather funny.

He originally didn’t want Yao Li to become stronger. But in the end, it backfired and helped Yao Li break through?

The strength of a Demon King couldn’t be compared to that of a Great Demon. The threat to the camp would increase by hundreds or thousands of times!

Zhou Shu’s expression changed. He was a little hesitant. Should he take the opportunity to kill Yao Li?

At this moment, he was facing the heavenly tribulation. If he attacked, Yao Li would definitely die!

But looking at the lightning filling the sky, Zhou Shu had a faint feeling that it was dangerous!

He felt that if he approached Yao Li at this time, it was hard to say if he could kill him, but it would definitely be very dangerous for him!

This feeling was very clear, so clear that Zhou Shu was completely certain that if he touched the lightning now, he might get killed!

With this hesitation, several powerful auras were already approaching rapidly from afar.

They were all Great Demons!

With so many Great Demons here, even if Zhou Shu changed his mind and wanted to kill Yao Li, it was already too late.

The fact that he could transform into a demon couldn’t be easily exposed.

Moreover, this place was too close to the camp. If they really attacked, with so many Great Demons around, the camp might be affected. That would really be a loss.

Boom—

The lightning in the sky became denser, as if it was about to destroy the world.

The Great Demons who had rushed over all stayed a few kilometers away with bewildered expressions, not daring to continue approaching.

Boom!

The thunder in the sky temporarily stopped, and the thundercloud seemed to be preparing for the next wave of attack. Yao Li’s figure appeared in the sky.

There was almost no intact skin on his body now, and even his bones could be seen.

His body swayed, but Yao Li was still shouting, “We have nothing to lose. If we’re not convinced, we’ll fight! If you can’t kill me, I’ll change my name to Hu Li today!

“Come on!”

Yao Li soared into the sky as he roared. His miserable figure actually revealed an unyielding arrogance. Under this arrogance, his entire body emitted a dazzling light, and his aura constantly transformed.

Yao Li was really going to become Hu Li!
