Chapter 593 - Demon Sealing Zone
"S-Snack on demon cores…? I-Impossible… You can't be…!" The demon quickly realized Yuan's identity, but it didn't dare to actually believe it.
After all, there is only one person in this universe who can consume demon cores, and that individual is the founder of the Demon Sealing Clan, Divine Paragon!
The Divine Paragon is the bane of all demons. No matter how powerful a demon is, they will remain as mere ants before the Divine Paragon, who can kill demons as simple as breathing.
"Y-You cannot be the Divine Paragon! What are you doing here?! Why do you look like that?! Why are you showing your true identity now?!" The demon questioned him.
"Whether I am real or not… Why don't we put that to the test?" Yuan spoke in a calm voice as he slowly approached the demon.
Furthermore, Yuan had activated the golden aura once again, but it was much clearer than previously, and he had complete control over it.
The demon took a step back every time Yuan took a step forward, but it didn't dare to turn around and run, as it was afraid that if it turned its back to Yuan, it would die without realizing what had happened.
However, after walking a dozen steps, the demon suddenly felt something against its back, preventing it from walking back any further.
The demon subconsciously turned around to see what was blocking it, as it was certain that there wasn't anything in that direction, and sure enough, when it looked, there was plenty of empty space behind it.
However, for some reason, it was unable to move any further, almost like there was an invisible wall there.
"Where do you think you're going?" Yuan suddenly spoke to it.
The demon immediately turned to look at Yuan, who had a malicious grin on his face.
"You can force your way outside this formation if you'd like, but just know that the moment you leave this field, you will become sealed. This technique is called the Demon Sealing Zone. Once activated, any demons within the zone will no longer be able to leave. If you do… you'll become sealed."
"D-Demon Sealing Zone?! Y-You really are…!"
The Demon Sealing Zone is one of the Divine Paragon's many unique techniques that allow him to completely turn any demon into powerless mortals, and it is also why all demons fear him.
Once they enter this zone, they will no longer be able to leave for the rest of their lives, and if they force their way out of this imprisonment, they will only be greeted with another form of imprisonment that is getting sealed.
"Since you're just a lowly demon, I will give you a chance to escape." Yuan suddenly said.
"R-Really?!" The demon's eyes flickered with hope.
However, when it heard what Yuan said next, its face sank.
"If you can defeat me, I will let you walk out here without getting sealed."
"Fuck you! You might as well keep me in here forever!" The demon cursed.
Yuan shrugged and said, "Since you'll stay in this place forever, you might as well try and defeat me."
The demon gritted its sharp teeth, but it found no fault in Yuan's words. Indeed, if it doesn't try to defeat him, it will never be able to escape the Demon Sealing Zone that has tormented countless demons before.
The demon prepared to launch its attack on Yuan.
However, right as it was about to strike, Yuan snapped his fingers, forcing the demon onto its knees with a tyrannical pressure that came out of nowhere.
"W-What is the meaning of this?!" The demon shouted out loud.
"You actually think you have a chance to defeat me? A lowly demon such as yourself? Know your place."
The tyrannical pressure suddenly became countless times more powerful, immediately flattening the demon into meat paste the next second.
Of course, the demon regenerated a few seconds later.
The demon tried to lift its head to look at Yuan after recovering, but before it could even lift its head halfway, the pressure flattened its body once again.
Once the demon regenerated, Yuan flattened it for the third time.
Then a fourth time.
A fifth time.
A dozen times.
"Why are you wasting your energy on such pointless attacks? Such attacks have no use on me, as demons don't feel any pain!" The demon managed to speak after regenerating for the 13th time.
"I am merely playing with you. Don't worry, the real punishment starts now."
Yuan snapped his fingers, creating a golden sword made purely out of spiritual energy, before sending it flying at the demon's hand, pinning it to the ground.
"AAAAAH!"
The demon suddenly screamed in pain.
When the demon realized what had just happened, it looked at Yuan with a terrified face.
"What did you do to me?!" The demon roared.
"This must be your first time experiencing real pain, huh? The fact that demons cannot experience pain… is false. Demons also experience pain, but their tolerance to pain is quite admirable— to the point where they don't feel any pain even when their body is turned to meat paste."
"All I did was simply remove your pain tolerance, allowing you to experience pain as normal humans would. Don't worry, you won't die even if you can feel pain, but you will definitely wish for death after I am done with you."
The demon began to sweat for the first time in its life when it saw the sadistic smile on Yuan's face.
However, right as it opened its mouth to speak, the pressure flattened its body once again.
This time, the demon felt every ounce of pain that came from having its entire body crushed into meat paste.
Once it regenerated, the demon shrieked like a pig being slowly slaughtered; it was a ghastly sound that would make even the toughest men on earth tremble in fear if heard.
"Hey, how many humans did you kill today?" Yuan suddenly asked it.
And he continued, "I will crush you ten times for every human you killed. If you don't tell me, I will torture you until I feel like stopping."
The demon stared at Yuan with a terrified gaze.
"You… monster!" It muttered in a powerless voice.
