Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1072 - Chapter 1072 Chapter 937 I Of Course Have to Fight for It

Chapter 1072: Chapter 937: I, Of Course, Have to Fight for It! Chapter 1072: Chapter 937: I, Of Course, Have to Fight for It! The existence of the Nightmare Demon Palace had spanned thousands of years, and this creature was like a powerful ghost, shrouding the ancient and incomparable palace for a millennium!

Many untold stories must have taken place during the long millennial history surrounding the ghostly presence of the Nightmare Demon Palace.

Were they tales of salvation, disaster, or tragic sagas of heart-wrenching sorrow like that of Bai Yu, an unparalleled strong one…

And it had always looked down upon the millennium of history of the Nightmare Demon Palace, like a god or devil, always watching with arrogant eyes those humans who showed it the utmost reverence.

…

Chu Mu raised his head, looking at the White Nightmare Demon that seemed ancient to the extreme.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Jiang Demon Emperor and Shen Qiu, it was the undisputed king of the Nightmare Demon Palace, a god who must be worshipped faithfully and loyally, but to Chu Mu, it was nothing more than a decrepit old entity.

No matter how much it displayed its Dominator-level aura, no matter how awe-inspiring and frightening its laughter sounded, no matter how much it disguised itself, Chu Mu could sense that its life force was very weak!

The Nightmare Demon Ancestor also took on a human form, which must have belonged to someone from a thousand years ago.

Chu Mu had heard something about the Nightmare Demon Ancestor too; it once had a master, and after its master died of old age, it was entrusted to guard the Nightmare Demon Palace.

Such guardianship, almost a thousand years long, is no wonder all Elders deeply revered the Nightmare Demon Ancestor. This kind of special Guardian God had been revered generation after generation, such that the reverence had taken deep root, making it difficult for any of the Palace’s top levels to harbor any thoughts of desecration!

“Jie jie~~~~~” The Nightmare Demon Ancestor, half-floating, locked its ancient silver pupils onto the Old Hermit and the Jiang Demon Emperor, making a series of strange noises.

The Old Hermit and the Jiang Demon Emperor remained silent, but bowed their heads even lower, like loyal subjects deeply heeding the instructions and teachings of an aged sovereign.

Chu Mu didn’t understand what the Nightmare Demon Ancestor was trying to say; it seemed that its words had been transformed through a soul’s voice, otherwise the Old Hermit and the Jiang Demon Emperor definitely would not have been able to understand.

Suddenly, while they were communicating, the Nightmare Demon Ancestor suddenly lowered its head, its eyes locking firmly on Chu Mu!

“Ning!!!!!!!!” The Nightmare Demon Ancestor let out a dreadful Demon Cry, and a torrent of spiritual pressure came crashing over, sending the spirits of the five people into disarray, almost shattering their brains with its sound!

The Jiang Demon Emperor, Old Hermit, Shen Qiu, and Shen Mo hurriedly knelt down, their bodies lying completely flat on the ground!

“Ancestor, please calm your anger, please calm your anger, this young man has always admired you. Seeing you today has excited him somewhat; there was no intention to offend!” the Old Hermit said in a frantic voice, his wrinkle-ridden face almost completely pale.

And the Jiang Demon Emperor was even more furiously glaring at Chu Mu, grinding his teeth, yet not daring to utter a word!

Shen Qiu and Shen Mo could only kneel there, their bodies trembling slightly.

Before, they had questioned the strength of the dying Nightmare Demon Ancestor, but having felt the roar of its Dominator-level spirit, they truly realized that even in its final moments, it would be extremely easy for the Nightmare Demon Ancestor to kill all of them!

After sweeping its gaze over the five of them, the Nightmare Demon Ancestor’s fury slowly subsided, emitting a few more strange noises. Then, its aged body slowly floated up and settled into the darkness.

The darkness was gradually dispelled by the silver flames of the Nightmare Demon Ancestor, revealing a bone-white altar that appeared skeletal in nature. The Nightmare Demon Ancestor came to rest upon the altar, where the spiritual energy was most rich. It sat there in isolation, resting its head upon a palm, closing its heavy eyes, surrounded by silvery Demon Flames flickering chaotically…

It was only now that the Old Hermit dared to raise his head, but seeing the Nightmare Demon Ancestor seated on the high altar, he felt the Dominator-level aura pressing down on him so heavily that he found it incredibly difficult to stand up. It seemed that against such an ancient Demon King, all one could do was to kneel humbly.

“The Ancestor has allowed us to leave for now,” said the Old Hermit in a very low voice.

The other three didn’t dare to hesitate and slowly backed out.

It was then that Chu Mu recovered his senses. Seeing that the others had started moving away, he also followed them out of the space belonging to the Nightmare Demon Ancestor.

Using the original method, the five of them crossed through the spatial array and returned to the land burning with Demon Flames.

At this moment, the Old Hermit, Jiang Demon Emperor, Shen Qiu, and Shen Mo all let out a huge sigh of relief. Within the realm of the Nightmare Demon Ancestor, not to mention speaking loudly, they even had to be careful with their heartbeat!

The Jiang Demon Emperor, tall and imposing, stepped in front of Chu Mu, his brows furrowed in anger, evidently, the recent incident had greatly infuriated the Demon Emperor.

“Chu Fangchen, do you want us all to die for your rashness!” the Jiang Demon Emperor said furiously!

“Emperor Jiang, Chu Fangchen is still young, it was just curiosity for a moment…” Shen Qiu hurriedly spoke up for Chu Mu.

The Old Hermit also cast a glance at Shen Qiu and coldly said, “Next time, don’t bring some unknown person here. Humph, that curiosity almost cost all of us our lives.”

Chu Mu looked at Jiang Demon Emperor and the Old Hermit, who had a very poor opinion of him, yet he stood there unruffled and indifferently said, “If it is because I kept staring at it that the ancestor became angry, then from the beginning it should have issued a spirit Demon Cry as a warning to me…”

“Chu Brother, what do you mean by that?” Shen Mo looked at Chu Mu, thinking to himself that this guy had some nerve, daring to look up at a Dominator level Nightmare Demon Ancestor. Luckily, the Nightmare Demon Ancestor did not blame him.

“It only has a few breaths left in it. In fact, whether I look at it or not, it would deliberately show its power once to let us know that it is actually still very strong,” Chu Mu said candidly.

Even when the Nightmare Demon Ancestor was in its prime, Chu Mu was not afraid of it, let alone now that it was on its last breath. Moreover, Chu Mu’s eyes, that of a fellow Dominator level powerhouse, could not be deceived by the disguise and concealment of this cunning old creature.

“Nonsense!” the Old Hermit said.

“Believe it or not, that’s up to you,” Chu Mu replied in an even tone.

The Old Hermit saw that this young man showed no respect for his elders and became even angrier, seemingly eager to teach Chu Mu a lesson!

“Elder Jiang, let it be, we should proceed to the next matter,” Shen Qiu intervened to calm the situation.

The Old Hermit still huffed coldly, having taken no good impression of this young man, Chu Fangchen.

“The Nightmare Demon Ancestor plans to enjoy its later years without lending a hand to us in the Nightmare Demon Palace. But to ensure that our Nightmare Demon Palace can have a new guardian, it plans to choose the most excellent one among the White Nightmare Demons of us five to inherit its legacy,” Jiang Demon Emperor said, getting straight to the point.

“The selection method is very simple: the five of us will summon our respective White Nightmare Demons to fight each other, and the ultimate victor will receive the legacy of the ancestor,” the Old Hermit added.

Direct inheritance!!

Shen Qiu’s face lit up with joy.

Shen Qiu had thought they came here to help the Nightmare Demon Ancestor find a way to extend its life, but he did not expect that the Nightmare Demon Ancestor intended to grant its legacy directly. This meant that among the five of them, one person’s White Nightmare Demon could step closer towards the Dominator level!

Often, whether one can make the step between the Emperor level and the Dominator level means the difference of entering the Dominator Lord level realm in one’s lifetime!

“Then let’s summon our White Nightmare Demons,” said the Old Hermit flatly. But the eyes hidden under the brim of his hat sparkled with an unhidden gleam of longing; it seemed the old man was also very eager for the inheritance!

Chu Mu did not immediately summon the White Demon, but wondered to himself why Shen Qiu had said earlier that it was up to the Nightmare Demon Ancestor to choose who would receive its inheritance. Could it be that having the five entities fight each other was actually to test the real strength of their White Nightmare Demons?

While Chu Mu was pondering this, the Old Hermit and Jiang Demon Emperor had already summoned their White Nightmare Demons!

The two White Nightmare Demons each took on the appearance of their masters, their sinister and arrogant flame bodies burning on the backdrop of the blazing ground, appearing even more demonic and commanding!

Chu Mu’s gaze swept over the two White Nightmare Demons and could see that they had both reached the realm of the Invincible Emperor level, their strength most likely not far from that of the Nightmare Demon Ruler!

Next, Shen Qiu summoned his White Nightmare Demon, which was also at the Invincible Emperor level, a notch higher than the normal Peak Emperor’s strength, but in terms of momentum, it was slightly inferior compared to the White Nightmare Demons of Jiang Demon Emperor and the Old Hermit.

In fact, the strength of these three White Nightmare Demons should be on the same level; distinguishing strength and weakness would probably only be possible through actual combat, as neither rank nor aura is a standard for measuring the real combat ability of Soul Pets.

“My White Nightmare Demon is still inexperienced; I, the younger generation, should not contend with the elders,” Shen Mo spoke up, surprising the four others with his statement.

The attention of the four immediately fell on Shen Mo, finding it hard to believe that he would choose to give up.

“Shen Mo, don’t lose confidence in yourself,” Shen Qiu said, anxious upon seeing that his son did not intend to strive for the inheritance.

In fact, Shen Qiu most hoped that Shen Mo would receive the inheritance; after all, Shen Mo was still young and had more room for development, unlike the rest of them who were over fifty and whose strengths were nearly set.

Shen Mo shook his head with a firm attitude.

Shen Mo’s White Nightmare Demon was merely very close to the Invincible Emperor level and had not truly reached it. Although the temptation of the inheritance could drive any strong one at this level of strength mad, Shen Mo was self-aware that he could not possibly emerge victorious among the White Nightmare Demons of the elders.

Chu Mu looked at Shen Mo, inwardly sighing with admiration: Shen Mo’s disposition is truly out of the ordinary, to decisively give up in such a situation, something most people simply cannot do!

“Chu Fangchen, what about you?” Shen Qiu asked Chu Mu after seeing that Shen Mo’s mind was made up and there was no convincing him otherwise.

“Me? Of course, I will fight!” Chu Mu’s answer was resolutely determined!
