Chapter 1537 Chapter 1537: Control

"That was weaker than expected..."

A figure came out from the hole in the ground, seemingly disappointed that the lightning Dragon was so weak.

Just a random attack, and the dragon was destroyed.

"If this is the strength of the Tribulation, it's not as strong as I expected," The Demon King exclaimed, looking up in the sky.

"Long Chen?" Zhu Chang exclaimed.

Even Long Chen's clone could feel that he was Long Chen, but something wasn't right. The Snake Monarch felt the same. He was the real person but not quite. He didn't know what was wrong, but he was sure that there was something.

"That aura... But he's not supposed to be a Demon. Then how?" The Demon Princess stared at Long Chen in the sky. There were beautiful demonic wings behind Long Chen that were filled with the Demonic Origin. They were similar to the Royal Demonic Wings that the Royal Family possessed.

It was a skill passed down from generations in their family. No one other than them was allowed to learn the skills. The Wings weren't just ordinary wings. They were mixed with the energy of space that brought the speed of a person on the edge of Teleportation. The speed was no less than Teleportation but with more control and flexibility.

What surprised the Demon Princess was that Long Chen knew this skill. She was confused how he received that skill.

"I can sense my sister! I'm going down!" Baihu Yang couldn't care less about Long Chen. He sensed his sister from where Long Chen came. If there was someone who could answer him about what happened to their Godly White Tiger Core, it was his sister.

He rushed ahead and jumped inside the hole, but not before Xun and Long Tian came out.

All the Royal Guards he brought with him also jumped behind him, leaving only the ones who came here for Long Chen behind.

The Demon King looked down at the group who was calling Long Chen.

"Kid, you have quite a lot of people who know you. You were either a headache for the World or the heartthrob of the world," the Demon King laughed as he talked to Long Chen, whose soul was up.

The Demon King didn't make Long Chen's soul sleep. Instead, he let Long Chen experience everything he was experiencing. For Long Chen, it was as if he was still in the body.

He could still feel the gentle brushing of the wings against his skin or the flicker of lightning around him. He just couldn't control the body... At least until the Demon King didn't allow him to.

"A headache would be more accurate. But currently, you're being a headache for me. What do you want from me?" Long Chen asked. Somehow, when he spoke, his body's lips also moved.

Even though the Demon King didn't give the control of the body to Long Chen, he shared the other controls. Long Chen could speak when the Demon King wasn't speaking. However, with this, when the two talked, it was as if Long Chen had a split personality and was talking to himself.

"I'm sure you heard what I said to that spirit before? You freed me. I'm grateful to you. That's why I've decided to take you in as my disciple. I've decided to train you and make you stronger. At the same time, as your fee for your teacher, I'm going to be using your body to exact my revenge."

"When I'm not using your body, you'll be able to control it and do what you want. But when I'm using it, you'll feel what you're feeling now."

"But I won't be here for an eternity. I'm here only for a short time, and as soon as I'm done, I'll leave. Your body and the world will belong to you, along with my legacy. But until then, you'll have to bear with me."

"Do you understand now? Anyway, I'm sure you can understand. Even you should know that if I wanted to, I don't have to be so cordial. I can just destroy your soul this instant or put you to eternal sleep."

" But neither do I want to do that, nor do I need to. We will be working together. You'll be helping me by sharing your body, and I'll be helping you by taking out your enemies. I did hear you have one... What was his name... Ah, Tian something. So, what do you say? Will you help me? Or do you want me to force myself?"

Even though the Demon King had been nice to Long Chen, he still knew that he had forcefully taken over someone's body. Despite that, he asked for Long Chen's permission now since he wasn't just taking Long Chen as a hostage but also as a disciple. He didn't want Long Chen to hate him.

"Do I have a choice?" Long Chen responded. "I don't, do I? In any case, you'll be here. But then again, you are not an evil spirit who wants my body forever. And I can also read your thoughts now. You really want me as a disciple."

"How long will you be controlling my body?" he asked.

"As long as it takes, which shouldn't be long. In any case, I'll only be controlling your body when we are fighting or something similar. The other times, I'll let you take the lead. How about that, kid?"

" Kekeke, want to accept the deal of this demon?"

"So as long as you aren't fighting or in a situation where you are needed, I'll be able to control my body?"

"Yep. As long as you do as I say. For example, if we need to get someplace, I'll take control of the body. But if it's a slow journey, I'll give you control and just tell you where to go. Overall, it'll be you who will be in control most of the time. Think of me as a teacher who takes control only when necessary. I suppose it's similar to that... Martial Soul of Yours..."

Long Chen looked up, noticing the clouds of tribulation. He couldn't believe he had already reached the peak of cultivation. It was partially thanks to the Demon King. No matter how bad he was or how many wars he fought, he did help him in a way.

Long Chen nodded. "Alright. I'll agree..."

He decided to leave everything to the Demon King since it was indirectly him helping. Moreover, since he was also in control of the body in some senses, he could learn the skills of the Demon King that he used.
