Chapter 1552 Chapter 1552: Return of Ancestor
The battle with all the God Beasts was something that could easily be handled by the Demon Ancestor. However, after absorbing the Godly Cores of more God Beasts, Long Chen's Marital Strength had suddenly increased by a lot... Making his strength unstable.
In the end, the Demon Ancestor still had to use Long Chen's body to fight, which he believed put his body at risk at a time like this. However, the Demon Ancestor couldn't run either. That was not his nature. Despite all that, he still decided to leave for Long Chen's sake.
To leave, he decided to work together with Long Chen to make sure they weren't followed. If they were followed and had to fight in any case, it didn't make much difference.
To provide a solution to the Demon Emperor, Long Chen came up with the idea of having to force him! This way, not only did he get some goodwill from the Black Tortoise Patriarch and the other god beasts who saw him as someone who didn't want to kill Beasts, but it also made them worry if the Demon Ancestor was actually strong enough to take them all out easily.
Since they were split and didn't know much, they didn't follow the Demon Ancestor and Long Chen. Even the Rainbow Phoenix decided against following Long Chen.
She was strong, but she had a feeling that if she fought the Demon Ancestor who knew how to use Ancestral God's strength, she didn't have much of a chance. She needed more strength!
She couldn't help but look toward the sky, at the remaining god stars. There were two god stars less in the sky now. However, that was also the place where she believed she could get more strength to be sure that she wasn't going to risk her life. She didn't want to die before being able to fulfill her aims.
*****
The Demon Ancestor and Long Chen were led to the Demon Realm by the Demon King along with his daughter.
The Demon Ancestor also brought Xun and the Snake Monarch, who was still going through his bloodline evolution. At the moment, the snake Monarch was inside a small orb of light that could even be held in hands.

Long Chen stepped into the World of the Demon Clan. It was his first time arriving here, and the sight he saw was certainly enough to amaze him.
The darkness that surrounded him felt like an impenetrable wall, yet he knew he had to keep going forward since the darkness couldn't hurt him. If anything, it only nourished his body.
As he walked inside the Demon Palace, he could feel the eyes of countless demons upon him as if they were judging him and wondering just who that person was that was being led by their King.
Every step seemed to take forever as if there was something strange in this place... The laws of nature and space were twisted, which broke the distance and space dimension.
"For someone who doesn't have a complete demon body, it'll be hard to get to the main door through the entrance. Let me help." The Demon King sent a small amount of Demonic Origin Energy to create a Barrier around Long Chen to free him from these restrictions, not wanting to bother the Demon Ancestor to do such a basic thing himself.
After the Demonic Energy of the King surrounded Long Chen, the strange pressure disappeared, and eventually, he reached his destination: the gates of the Demon Emperor's palace.
The gates loomed large in front of Long Chen, seemingly stretching up toward heaven itself. It was like looking up at an insurmountable mountain; one wrong move could be fatal for an ordinary cultivator here in this dangerous place. But for him, there wasn't much risk.
Long Chen stepped into the Demon Palace with a sense of awe and wonder. He had never been in such a grand palace before, its walls made of polished black stone that glittered from the light coming from the huge chandelier hanging above him.
As he looked around, he noticed that strange symbols were carved into the walls, which seemed to be emanating some kind of energy.
He was led through many long corridors and up winding staircases until they reached an archway leading to an enormous Throne Room.
The doors of the majestic hall opened on their own. Usually, the King would've entered first, but he stepped aside for Long Chen to enter. He didn't respect Long Chen as much as he did the soul, which was inside his body.
With the return of their Ancestor, he was sure that their Clan was headed for a rise like no one could have expected! He was confident that even if all the Gods and Beasts were United, with their Ancestors around, they couldn't be defeated!
Long Chen entered the hall first, which was huge and imposing, with a large throne made from obsidian perched atop a dais of black marble. Around him were statues carved from ebony depicting various demon generals that seemed to come alive under Long Chen's gaze. Torches lit up the walls, giving off an eerie light that illuminated the whole chamber.
At one end of the room were an altar with a fire burning brightly on it and several ancient relics scattered around it. A chill ran down Long Chen's spine as he took in this sight; he felt like he had stepped into another world entirely.
The Demon Clan was definitely an existence that lorded over many domains, including the immortal realm!
"The Clan has really fallen a lot. I never knew you live in such bad conditions," the Demon Ancestor exclaimed. Unlike Long Chen, who was amazed by the grandeur that the Demons lived in, the Demon Ancestor sounded very disappointed.
It only made Long Chen wonder just what kind of life the Demon Ancestor lived before being sealed by the Ancestral God in the stone statue.
"Ancestor, this..." Even the Demon King didn't know how to reply. He didn't know how the Demons used to live before, but he believed that his lifestyle was quite good.
"It's fine. Now that I'm back, I'll handle things from now on!"
