Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 470: Dad, It Feels Like You’re Raising Other Kids, But I Have No Proof
Chapter 470: Dad, It Feels Like You're Raising Other Kids, But I Have No Proof
After thinking for a long time, Shen Mo decided to enhance the Red Lotus Flame.
After all, the Red Lotus Flame had been his longtime companion.
It was his very first Eternal Flame. fгeewebnovёl.com
Even if it hadn’t done much, it had still endured countless hardships alongside him.
Shen Mo raised his hand.
A crimson flame surged in his palm.
Sure enough, as soon as the Red Lotus Flame appeared, it sensed the presence of the two Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirits.
Inside, it revealed a strong desire to refine and devour them.
Shen Mo smiled and nodded. “These are prepared just for you.”
The Red Lotus Flame was just about to rush forward—
But suddenly, an icy-white flame erupted from Shen Mo’s right hand and shot forth at blinding speed.
In the blink of an eye, it swept up the two fire spirits and devoured them.
It moved so fast, Shen Mo didn’t even have time to react.
By the time he came to his senses, the Nine Nether Ice Flame had already crunched and swallowed both fire spirits with two crisp bites.
From within the Nine Nether Ice Flame came the sound of lip-smacking. “What is this stuff? Tastes great. Got any more?”
Shen Mo: “??”
“Why are you stealing someone else’s food!”
Inside the Red Lotus Flame, a wave of grievance stirred.
“Steal? Ask him—did I steal anything?” The Nine Nether Ice Flame suddenly formed into a finger and pointed at the Red Lotus Flame.
Shen Mo looked toward the Red Lotus Flame.
But saw that it had retreated into a corner, shrinking pitifully and suppressing all emotion.
As if the Nine Nether Ice Flame hadn’t stolen the fire spirits at all, but rather that it had given them up willingly.
Shen Mo: “...”
Damn it.
A total flame bully!
“Next time you refine those things, give them to the other two little flames first.”
“Hmph. I’m no bully.”
With those words, the Nine Nether Ice Flame withdrew back into the Divine Palace and burned silently.
Whether it had fallen asleep or was pretending, no one could say.
The Red Lotus Flame clung pitifully to Shen Mo’s arm, its light dim and flickering.
Shen Mo gave a helpless smile. “Alright, next time I make Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirits, you’ll get first pick.”
Only then did the Red Lotus Flame brighten, burning joyfully again.
Its glow became noticeably stronger.
Sui Xing circled around Shen Mo for a while before slowly forming a line of text:
“Dad, it feels like you’re raising other kids, but I have no proof.”
Shen Mo couldn’t help but laugh.
The Red Lotus Flame was only a little over five hundred years old.
The Sun Essence Flame was even younger—barely ten.
Considering Eternal Flames could burn for tens of thousands of years, weren’t they just children?
“It’s time to resume training.”
Shen Mo tidied himself up and began refining the Azure Thunder Lotus and Earthmother Crimson Ancient Pulp.
Everything else could wait—but not cultivation.
Though he was undefeated among those of the same realm, if he ran into a Dharma Phase expert or Demon Emperor, all he could do was run for his life.
Right now, the most important goal was to raise his cultivation and step into the Dharma Phase Realm as soon as possible.
Shen Mo firmly believed that once he reached that level, even the Grand Heavenly Demon would be no match for him.
All schemes and conspiracies would crumble under absolute power.
…
Demon Suppression Sea, Seventh Layer.
Most of this layer’s territory belonged to the third Grand Heavenly Demon—Anmie.
Anmie’s dominion was brute force.
In head-on combat, aside from the oldest and most mysterious first Grand Heavenly Demon, no other could match him.
He was thus able to claim more than half of the seventh layer as his own.
At this very moment, within the Third Demon Palace, sounds of indulgent pleasure echoed unceasingly.
An Mie was currently mating with a female demon.
In time, the female demon would give birth to a Great Heavenly Demon’s offspring.
The higher the potential of the child she bore, the greater her status would be.
An Mie was in high spirits. Suddenly recalling something, he asked, “By the way, hasn’t a powerful female demon appeared in the seventh layer recently? One who actually managed to gather hundreds of thousands of lesser demons under her command?”
“Did you deliver my intentions to her?”
The True Demons nearby stiffened.
One of them quickly placed the exhausted female demon on the ground, then knelt and said respectfully, “Honored Venerable, we already went to see that female demon. She refused your offer and instead accepted another faction’s invitation.”
An Mie frowned. “Which Great Heavenly Demon did she choose?”
“The Ninth Great Heavenly Demon.”
An Mie snorted coldly. “Hmph. A fool who toys with misfortune. How could he compare to me?”
“That female demon doesn’t know what’s good for her.”
“Leave. There are plenty of female demons in the world—we don’t need her.”
Only then did the True Demons act as if granted amnesty and quickly withdrew. “Yes, yes!”
A while later, a deep, powerful voice came from outside the palace.
“Father Demon, I have something to report.”
An Mie laughed heartily. “It’s you? Come in.”
Moments later, a tall and powerfully built demon entered.
This demon resembled An Mie in appearance.
His upper body was no different from a human, but his lower body was made up of thick octopus-like tentacles, his muscles bulging with what looked like limitless strength.
His name was An Zhenying, the son An Mie favored most.
An Mie said casually, “Weren’t you stationed on the third layer, harassing enemy outposts? Why are you back so suddenly?”
An Zhenying replied seriously, “Everything is going smoothly on the third layer. The three allied races’ outposts believe we’re just launching minor raids like before. They haven’t realized we’ve secretly amassed large forces in multiple hidden caverns.”
An Mie gave a small smile. “Well done. Now we only need to wait for the right moment.”
An Zhenying said solemnly, “Yes. I’ve always kept your strategy in mind. The goal of this operation isn’t to target any outpost, nor talents like Tang Shenting or Shi Mie. It’s to lure out the Demon Suppression Generals.”
“Even if we can kill just one Demon Suppression General, it’s a win!”
An Mie nodded in satisfaction. “So, what did you come to tell me?”
An Zhenying said gravely, “There’s been an unexpected development on the fourth layer. I heard the report from our subordinates and rushed here to inform you.”
“Oh? What kind of unexpected development?” An Mie asked indifferently.
An Zhenying then described what had occurred at the Xuanwu Four-One Outpost.
After listening, An Mie frowned.
“A single human... actually killed three Peak True Demon Lords?”
“That’s quite a feat!”
An Zhenying continued, “Our spies in other outposts have confirmed his identity. That person is Shen Mo—the one responsible for the previous Fifth Great Heavenly Demon’s death.”
“He’s also the one who designed those new-model cloudships, which made our assaults on the major strongholds far more difficult.”
An Mie’s eyebrows rose. “It’s him? I do remember now.”
“Back during the Great Heavenly Demon Council, An Chen and An Zhou struck a deal to use An Zhou’s authority to curse that human to death.”
“Looks like even the curse failed.”
“How interesting, how very interesting!”
An Mie’s interest was clearly piqued. “That human has extraordinary talent and a high reputation. Zhang Longxiang is definitely grooming him as the next master of a stronghold.”
“If he’s in danger, Zhang Longxiang would surely risk his
