Chapter 741 - Oath Of Allegiance

Given the abilities of the True Grandmist Body and Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness, it wasn't strange for Leon to gain great control over Darkness Energy and not be corroded by it.

However, he wasn't born with this ability.

As such, he couldn't be called a demon in the truest sense, but others could still mistake him for one without prior knowledge of his circumstances.

Nevertheless, there was a proper term for cultivators who willingly embrace the power of the darkness; they are called demonic cultivators.

In the Divine Realm, demonic cultivators were hunted down like any other demons.

It just shows how the deep-rooted fear, hatred, and discrimination the denizens of the Divine Realm have against the creatures of darkness.

'The mastermind who drove my father and me to our deaths are all Peak-stage Divine Kings that stand at the top of the Divine Realm and rule over it.'

Leon recalled.

Since they were all his enemies, it didn't matter if he embraced the power of darkness.

Even so, two great obstacles remained in the way of his revenge; the strength to slay Peak-stage Divine Kings and to get back to the Divine Realm.

His eyes unknowingly flickered with traces of fury and malice when he recalled his father's shattering soul.

The Dark Fae Saresha could not help but tremble with her head lowered, uncertain if she had misspoken about something and offended the one person currently holding her life in the palm of his hands.

Nevertheless, she didn't dare utter a single sound and disturb Leon's thoughts.

Sometime later, Leon shook his head with resignation.

His strength increased at an unprecedented rate, but it was still far too weak to contend with the Peak-stage Divine Kings.

Perhaps he was too impatient.

The practice of cultivation had always emphasized the virtue of patience has always been, and that haste makes waste.

Dwelling on the matter would only sour his mood.

A few moments later, Leon shot the dark fae a glance before asking, "How can I guarantee that you will stay loyal and won't betray me?"

"This…"

Saresha was at a loss for words.

She had been compliant with complete obedience, but when asked to prove her loyalty, she did not know what to do.

What else could she do?

"I killed some of your clansmen. Don't you hate me?" Leon asked
