"You... you are not trustworthy!"

The Soul Body attempted to charge at the Demon Locking Tower, but this tower was a super magical treasure crafted by an Ultimate Lifeform. Even in the Super God Academy, it was one of the top treasures, and there was no way this already weakened, almost dying Soul Body could break through it.

"How am I not trustworthy? I indeed never said I was going to let you go," Zhang Menglong replied. "If I let you go, what if you have those Blood Demons tear me to shreds? If you kill me, you’ll never be able to escape this Demon Locking Tower. You can try if you don’t believe me."

"Besides, even if I promised you, now if I want to go back on my word, what can you do to me?" Zhang Menglong’s tone turned extremely annoying, "If you’re capable, jump out and kill me! Na-na-na!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Soul Body gritted its teeth inside the Demon Locking Tower, watching Zhang Menglong. His few struggles earlier had scattered much of the little strength he had left. Not only that, there was a very special power within this tower that seemed to continuously devour the strength of his kind of Soul Body.

If he stayed in this place too long, even if Zhang Menglong did nothing, he would become increasingly weak and eventually die!

"What do you want?" This was the first time the Soul Body had encountered such a headache.

Actually, his lapse today was due to his neglect. Under normal circumstances, he would leave several strong Blood Demons by his side to protect his safety. Ideally, Zhang Menglong wouldn’t even be able to set foot in this area.

It was because he was eager for quick success that he dispatched all the Blood Demons by his side upon discovering a large gathering of humans, allowing Zhang Menglong to easily approach him and even capture him.

"What do I want?" Zhang Menglong resumed his rogue act, "I’m just here enjoying myself, and you suddenly sent waves of Blood Demons to attack me. You’re asking what I want?"

"I..." What Zhang Menglong said made so much sense that the Soul Body found himself speechless!

"Make them leave first," Zhang Menglong said, feeling nauseated just looking at those Blood Demons. "They must not come within this area for at least half an hour. These ugly things make me sick."

"Leave!" The Soul Body sighed helplessly.

Upon receiving the command, the Blood Demons actually left the area immediately.

"Gou Dan?"

[Principal, those Blood Demons have indeed left. There are no tricks.]

"From now on, I’ll ask and you answer. If your answers don’t satisfy me or if I find you’re lying, I’ll burn you to death, got it?" Zhang Menglong eyed the Soul Body like a little devil.

"Go ahead and ask." The Soul Body seemed resigned.

"What’s your name?"

"It’s been so long; I can’t remember my name."

"You can’t remember? You’re bluffing?" Zhang Menglong raised his hand and set it aflame, causing the Soul Body to howl in agony.

He genuinely couldn’t remember his name. It’s been millions of years, and the entire Ancient Cave Heaven had only him left, apart from the mindless Warcraft and Blood Demons. Names were meaningless, so he’d long forgotten his real name.

"I... Even if you burn me to death, I really can’t recall."

"I don’t care. If you don’t have a name, make one up on the spot." Zhang Menglong demanded without mercy, "Hurry up! My patience is limited!"

"I... I just remembered. My name is Blood Cloud Sovereign!"

"Whoa, such a badass name? No way," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "I don’t accept that name. Change it."

"But that’s really my name!"

"I don’t care. I don’t even have such a cool name. What gives you the right to use it when speaking to me?" Zhang Menglong insisted.

"Then what should I be called?" Under dual attacks from Strange Fire and the Demon Locking Tower, the Soul Body felt it was hard to maintain his form. "Can you give me a hint?"

"I think Er Mazi sounds nice, what do you think?"

"Er... Er Mazi... I’m the mighty Blood Cloud Sovereign, and you want to name me that?"

"You’re complaining a lot? It’s fine, are you sure you didn’t forget your own name?" Zhang Menglong smiled mischievously and intensified the flames.

"Ah!"

"I just remembered, I just remembered. Blood Cloud Sovereign is just my nickname; my real name is Er Mazi. That’s right, Er Mazi."

"That’s more like it." Zhang Menglong withdrew the fire. "How about you introduce yourself first?"

"Listen up, I am the person in this world with the most hope of surpassing the Dao Realm, I am..."

"Are you seriously bragging again?" Zhang Menglong sighed, "Can you just talk normally?"

Seeing Zhang Menglong’s hand ignite, Blood Cloud Sovereign quickly quieted down, "In those times, many of us had reached the end of our Life Levels and found it hard to progress further. Everyone sought methods to break through, and only I succeeded."

"The end of Life Levels? Dao Realm?" Zhang Menglong estimated that for them, the peak of levels might be the Dao Realm.

From what Zhang Menglong understood, the most powerful creatures in the God Race world might only reach the peak of Dao Realm, which is the Ultimate Lifeform.

"After reaching the end of Life Levels, it’s like there’s a shackle; our levels couldn’t continue to rise. It was like an infinitely repeating decimal, 9.999999, infinitely close to 10 but never reaching 10. That final 1 could never be filled."

"After over 30 million years of research, I finally found a way to fill that final 1. I created these Blood Demons," Blood Cloud Sovereign spoke proudly. "They gather the world’s power for me; I feel I’m infinitely close to that realm, but some people insist on stopping me, lecturing me with righteous principles."

Zhang Menglong was confused, "What do you mean gather the world’s power? Do these Blood Demons and Night Demons do anything besides kill?"

"My power is linked with these Blood Demons. As long as they keep collecting blood, my power grows stronger," the Soul Body became more agitated as he spoke, "Once I collect 60% of the world’s life force, I’ll become the first to break the limits of life."

"Damn, Emperor Huntian’s script?" Zhang Menglong suddenly seemed to understand.

This so-called Blood Cloud Sovereign was a maniac. To surpass Life Levels, he wanted to sacrifice the life of the entire world, and the Blood Demons and Night Demons were his killing tools. He wanted to use the life of the entire world as the foundation for his breakthrough.

"I see now, damn, turns out he’s a crazy old man!"
