That voice belonged to the Demon Sovereign upon his arrival into the world.
It was a secret technique that the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign had forged and imparted to Chu Feng.
This "Demon Sovereign Descends" technique had always refused to serve Chu Feng. Only after Chu Feng used the Nightmare of the Guardian and forcefully attacked it did it finally speak the truth.
It turned out that the Demon Sovereign Descends was fundamentally incapable of serving Chu Feng. A restriction had been placed upon it by the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign — everything had been orchestrated by the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign all along.
The Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign had deliberately planted the Demon Sovereign Descends inside Chu Feng's body for the sole purpose of locking onto his position.
The Demon Sovereign Descends and the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign shared a certain connection.
As the Demon Sovereign Descends had stated before, if the distance between them was not too great, it could sense the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign's presence.
"You sensed him?"
"Is he inside Wang Qiang's body?" Chu Feng asked.
"That's right — inside Wang Qiang's body. But keep quiet for now. The Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign is cunning. I fear there may be more to this than it seems."
"Chu Feng, do not underestimate the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign. He is extraordinarily cunning — far more dangerous than you imagine," the Demon Sovereign Descends said.
He was clearly cautious, and one could sense how deeply he feared the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign.
"Understood."
Chu Feng agreed with this assessment.
He too knew that the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign was no simple foe.
Whether it was the restriction the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign had placed upon the Demon Sovereign Descends, or the Evil God Sword that the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign had sealed — Chu Feng had been powerless against both.
The Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign had certainly lied to him back then. His true strength at that time had been far greater than what he had let on.
Given how powerful he was, Wang Qiang's chances of defeating him were exceedingly slim.
Chu Feng had also noticed earlier that something was off about Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang was someone who loved excitement and commotion, yet ever since arriving at the Summit of the Nine Heavens, he had barely shown himself.
Add to that the fact that the Demon Sovereign Descends had confirmed the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign was still alive, and it was hard not to connect Wang Qiang's unusual behavior to the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign.
But the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign was not only powerful — he was genuinely cunning as well.
Discussing this matter with Wang Qiang would likely require a safer approach.
So Chu Feng spent some time setting up two intricate communication formations.
One formation was hidden within his own body, and the other was concealed inside an object.
With these formations, he could enhance covert voice transmissions and perhaps evade the Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign's surveillance.
Once the formations were in place, Chu Feng headed out, intending to find Wang Qiang.
The Blood-Devouring Demon Sovereign had to be dealt with once and for all. Otherwise, the consequences would be endless.
*Whoosh—* But the moment Chu Feng stepped out of the white mist and entered the plaza, an object came hurtling toward him.
It was a palm-sized stone that landed a short distance in front of him.
The moment it struck the ground, runes surfaced upon it. A ray of light then erupted, rapidly expanding and enveloping him completely.
"This sensation?"
Chu Feng could discern that the light posed no threat to him, yet it possessed an extraordinary ability to penetrate.
It appeared to be a tool for assessing cultivation level.
However, the fact that it could forcibly test Chu Feng's cultivation meant this object was far from ordinary.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, the stone withdrew the light that had been shrouding Chu Feng.
It then transformed into a pillar of light that shot skyward.
Upon that pillar of light were written four characters: *Third Rank Half-God.* "What is that?"
"Third Rank Half-God — is that Chu Feng's cultivation level?"
"He's... only a Third Rank Half-God?"
The plaza was filled with people, and naturally, all of them had witnessed the spectacle.
"Third Rank Half-God — the illustrious Chu Feng, and this is the extent of his cultivation? How terribly disappointing."
A voice rang out. Turning toward its source, a man stood not far away.
He was tall and powerfully built, with a strikingly heroic appearance — like a fierce general on the battlefield.
Yet his attire was rather distinctive: a black robe adorned with patterns of thunder and lightning.
