Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 215 - 217 : Otherworld Demon.

Although Fang Yuan appeared very polite, the lump of flesh did not seem to appreciate it. It didn't respond, merely its surface fluctuations growing more intense.

Fang Yuan raised his eyes, his gaze landing on the creature's head: [Otherworld Demon, Abyssal Species].

He didn't expect this thing to be so powerful. It's a demon, fine, but not from this world, not even from this world at all.

Otherworld Demon... He knew what that was, considering he was half of one himself. But what exactly is an Abyssal Species?

While pondering, he saw the lump of flesh in the coffin suddenly rise up!

Its surface sprouted countless sharp spikes, resembling a meteor hammer, with a howling wind, and it pounced towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan remained expressionless, unfazed, extending his hand and firmly grabbing the attacking lump of flesh.

The spikes on the lump struck his skin with a loud clash of metal, but they couldn't pierce his skin in the slightest.

"Can you speak human language?" Fang Yuan asked.

The lump remained silent, continuing to attack with its spikes.

Fang Yuan stared at this seemingly oblivious monster, his eyes growing more puzzled and impatient.

At the same time, the lump seemed to realize its attack was ineffective. It swiftly changed shape, turning into a thick, black liquid that slid through the gaps between Fang Yuan's fingers like living tar, trying to crawl into his seven orifices.

"Scram!" Fang Yuan shouted, and the lump was blasted away as though struck by lightning, splattering like a puddle of mud against the wall of the tomb, motionless.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is this thing?" Lin Lie, who had been watching, gripped his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. Having lived for over a thousand years and seen many strange things, he had never encountered such a bizarre creature.

"Uh... Could it be the legendary strongest poison?" Fang Yuan replied uncertainly.

"???" Lin Lie, completely confused, grew even more solemn upon hearing Fang Yuan, who possessed vast supernatural powers, refer to it as "the strongest."

This monster was so strange, and if His Majesty referred to it as the "strongest," it must be something incredibly dangerous.

Fang Yuan mentioned it because the Abyssal Species resembled a poison he had heard of. Its attempt to crawl into his mouth and nose clearly indicated it wanted to parasitize him.

However, its combat strength wasn't particularly impressive. With the power of Yan Taizu, this creature could be easily defeated. Fang Yuan probably kept it around because he found it interesting.

As he thought about it, the Abyssal Species began moving again, swiftly heading toward another coffin nearby.

"Seems a bit intelligent." Fang Yuan remarked. With a flick of his finger, a strand of golden flame illuminated the entire tomb, swiftly falling like a meteor onto the creature.

"Si!!!"

With an ear-piercing screech, the indescribable creature curled in pain as it was consumed by the Golden Crow's purifying flame, eventually turning into a crystal the size of a fist and dissipating into nothing.

[Slain an Otherworld Demon, Virtue Value +30000]

"Virtue points that are almost on par with a demon king, not bad." Fang Yuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth. After realizing that the creature was a demon and communication was impossible, he had no intention of leaving it alive.

After all, demons were cold, while virtue was warm.

However... Another demon from another world? How many secrets are still hidden in this world that I don't know about...?

Fang Yuan shook his head and turned his attention to the other coffins.

He waved his hand, and the lid of another coffin flew off. This time, a man was sealed inside.

The man's body appeared to have had its life force drained by the years; his skin tightly clung to his bones, and his limbs were as thin as dried wood.

Then, slowly, he opened his eyes. At first, they were blank, but soon they were filled with endless joy. He cracked his dry lips, his voice hoarse and excited: "I'm out, I'm finally out..."

Then, the man seemed to remember something. His expression twisted, and he began frantically looking around, shouting: "Yan Guangdi, where are you? I will make you die a horrible death!"

Fang Yuan looked at the man's head: [炎国大宗师: 高尚 (Great Master of the Yan Kingdom: Gao Shang)].

A Great Master? There are other Great Masters in the Yan Kingdom?

Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised, then turned to Lin Lie beside him and asked, "Do you know Gao Shang?"

Lin Lie was momentarily stunned, then answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, history records that Gao Shang was a master of the Yan Kingdom two thousand years ago. He made great contributions to the kingdom, but later attempted to rebel and was killed by the emperor of the previous dynasty."

After speaking, Lin Lie instantly realized something and his face was filled with shock. "Your Majesty, do you mean... this is Gao Shang?!"

"It should be him," Fang Yuan replied calmly, but his heart stirred. Another Chongwu Hou? It's normal; after nearly a thousand years of monarchy, it would be impossible not to have a rebel.

Two thousand years ago... Back then, the emperor must not have been able to control masters with spiritual energy, so he resorted to such a measure.

The "Yan Guangdi" the man mentioned should be the emperor from that time.

Thinking about this, Fang Yuan spoke again: "Yan Guangdi is no longer here. I am the current emperor."

"Let's talk. Either you serve me, or you die. Your choice?"

"Emperor? So you are Yan Guangdi!"

However, the mention of "Emperor" seemed to trigger Gao Shang, who had suffered torment for so long. A mighty aura suddenly exploded from him, condensing into the shape of a mountain, crashing down toward Fang Yuan.

"I will kill you!"

A heavy pressure descended, and Fang Yuan responded with nothing more than a casual slap!

With a resounding bang!

What seemed like a casual slap instantly shattered the spiritual mountain, and the momentum carried it, landing squarely on Gao Shang's cheek.

Gao Shang flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing into the wall of the tomb, shaking the entire tomb, and causing dust to fall everywhere.

"Are you awake yet?" Fang Yuan's voice was low, as though he had just done something trivial.

"Yan Guangdi, you should die!" However, Gao Shang responded with another furious shout. Like a madman, he charged again toward Fang Yuan, disregarding everything.

Fang Yuan remained expressionless and slapped him once more, just as casually as before, even the words were unchanged: "Are you awake yet?"

"Ah!!!!" Gao Shang was struck, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, but still unwilling to give up. He dragged his battered body forward for a third charge!

...

After a while, Gao Shang's face had swollen to the size of a pig's head. After receiving over a hundred slaps, his steps slowed, and the madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear.

When he saw Fang Yuan raise his hand, he instinctively trembled, looking incredibly comical.

Lin Lie, watching from the side, couldn't help but click his tongue. The once mighty Great Master was now like a child in front of His Majesty, being slapped relentlessly.
