Chapter 2418  Supreme Ancestor

"The Supreme Ancestor showing up before the Supreme Ruler, huh? This feels backwards for some reason," Yuan muttered as he narrowed his gaze at the human-looking Supreme Ancestor.

"So he's the one responsible for annihilating the Demon Sealers…"

Supreme Ruler Dena sensed a hint on killing intent within his voice and asked, "Do you want to take care of him? I'll let you have him."

However, Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it's fine. You can deal with him."

Meanwhile, the Supreme Ancestor moved to the front and approached Supreme Ruler Dena.

"This is your last chance to back down, you fiend," he said to her in a cold voice.

But despite his tough-looking appearance, he was actually screaming inwardly, feeling absolutely terrified of her presence.

Although he had once been the Supreme Ruler, not all Supreme Rulers were created equal. Supreme Ruler Dena was widely acknowledged as the strongest in history for a reason, and she had earned that title without ever revealing her transformation, which was several times more powerful than anything others had witnessed.

If he had the choice, he would have remained in seclusion and avoided making an appearance altogether. Unfortunately, as the Supreme Ancestor, he had a reputation he could not afford to ignore, and his absence would tarnish it.

However, Supreme Ruler Dena ignored him and asked, "I heard you were responsible for killing all of the Demon Sealers. Why did you do such a thing?"

"Isn't it obvious?" the Supreme Ancestor replied. "Demon Sealers wield power that preys on our kind and is a direct insult to the Demon God, our creator."

"I don't see how it insults the Demon God," Supreme Ruler Dena said, shaking her head. "If anything, it's a marvelous power that deserves respect, not scorn. No one's managed to recreate anything like it, even after all this time."

"Why the hell would anyone even try to recreate such a power?" The Supreme Ancestor sneered in disdain.

"Because it's highly effective, and we're essentially powerless against it. Who wouldn't want such overwhelming power that would make them near untouchable? I bet if given the chance, most would jump at the opportunity to learn Demon Sealing Aura. Unfortunately, only very few people can learn it, much less wield it."

A cold smile suddenly appeared on Supreme Ruler Dena's face as she continued, "Are you sure you didn't annihilate them out of jealousy because you weren't able to learn it yourself?"

The Supreme Ancestor trembled at her words and accusation.

"That's a baseless accusation! Nothing but slander!" he shouted in an enraged voice, his face flushed with redness.

"You're pretty terrible at controlling your emotions for someone who used to be a Supreme Ruler. No wonder you couldn't restrain your jealousy and killed them."

The Supreme Ancestor trembled nonstop, fists clenched so tightly that blood dripped from his knuckles. Yet even as rage pushed him to the brink, he didn't dare attack Supreme Ruler Dena.

Supreme Ruler Dena sighed, "I think it's pretty obvious that none of you will be able to defeat me, so let's not waste any time or energy fighting."

After a brief pause, she added, "To be frank, since this is only my second time in this form, I won't be able to control my strength properly, so there will be a lot of casualties if we fight."

Yuan then spoke up, "In fact, we came here to speak with the Supreme Ruler. You were the ones who set up this ambush and attacked us first."

"You…" The Supreme Ancestor finally noticed Yuan and narrowed his eyes, finding his face strangely familiar for some reason. "Who the hell are you?"

"My name's Yuan, and I am just her livestock," Yuan introduced himself as Supreme Ruler Dena's livestock.

"Her… livestock?" The Supreme Ancestor repeated in a dumbfounded voice.

Eventually, he snapped out of his daze and said to Supreme Ruler Dena, "Even if we cannot defeat you and will likely perish by your hands, we will not allow a fiend like you to exist outside the Deprived Crimson Valley!"

He raised his arm, pointing it straight at the sky.

"This is our final warning! Return to the Deprived Crimson Valley and stay there for an eternity, or face our wrath!"

"Then… all of you can die." Supreme Ruler Dena calmly responded.

The Supreme Ancestor gritted his teeth and started swinging his arm down, shouting, "Att—"

"Wait."

A calm voice suddenly resounded.

Hearing this voice, the Supreme Ancestor immediately closed his mouth and froze his movements.

"Supreme Ruler!" The Supreme Adviser nearly cried tears of joy after sensing his presence.

The next moment, a male figure descended from the sky, and all of the demons there lowered their heads to bow toward him.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at the newcomer—a tall, muscular demon. Unlike the Supreme Ancestor or the Supreme Adviser, he bore no human resemblance. His skin was a dark gray, his eyes pitch black, and six black horns sat on his head like a jagged, demonic crown.

"All of you stand down and leave. There is no need for pointless deaths, and I alone will be more than enough to deal with her," said the Supreme Ruler in a cold tone.

Heeding his commands, all of the demons, except the Supreme Ancestor and the Supreme Adviser, left the scene.

"This is our first time meeting, Ninth. I am the 14th Supreme Ruler, Grant."

Supreme Ruler Grant narrowed his gaze at her and continued, "I understand why you were called the strongest Supreme Ruler in history. With such an overwhelming aura, you truly deserve such a title."

Despite Supreme Ruler Dena's aura clearly surpassing his own, Supreme Ruler Grant did not show any hint of worry on his face.

When the Supreme Adviser noticed this, he wondered if Supreme Ruler Grant had successfully contacted the Demon God and received some kind of guidance.

"If you're going to tell me to return to the Deprived Crimson Valley, then you can save your breath," Supreme Ruler Dena then said.
