Chapter 540 Leaping Forward

On that day, the Archdemons vowed to fight to the last, ready to trade their lives to avenge their lord. Alas, willpower alone couldn't thwart destiny. And since in life they wouldn't obey, the three Devil Consorts wiped them all out, building a new undead army out of their remains.

On that same day, they abolished the lordship of the Infernal Nobility and established a temporary Triumvirate with Yvonne as the Head Triumvir, and Gulistan and Else as the Junior Triumvir. Now, as far as the Infernal Realm was concerned, the Warden's announcement was of little consequence. No demon could ever take part in that gathering!

And as expected, the fall of the Overlord didn't go without repercussion. Hell's Will awoke, stabbed by the loss of its Law Enforcer, and unleashed the most dreadful of Infernal Tribulations the demons had ever seen on the entirety of Hell! Alas, Hell's Wrath met an impregnable formation erected through the three Devil Consorts' Transcendence and reinforced by Krann's Devil Force.

Though the will's anger grumbled day and night, among the demons, fiends, and humans, life carried on. A certain Infernal King observed all those changes with rapt attention.

…

By the time Konrad finished dispatching his orders, Krann's voice echoed within his mind.

"Master, Hell's takeover is complete. After reaching the mid-stage of the Prime Devil Realm and double Transcendence, her majesty led their graces into a large scale invasion and put down the Infernal Realm.

The Overlord has just been killed by her majesty. Hell's Will made its move but was suppressed by our Devil Formation. However, it shows no sign of relenting."

Krann explained through a mental message, causing Konrad's lips to curl into a bright smile.

"Flawless timing. And here I was about to dispatch troops. Well done."

Konrad approved, and raised his right hand, causing three Heaven Swallowing Pills to fly toward a palm-sized Realm Gash he'd just opened.

"I have three new pills for them. After refining them, their strength will rise by leaps and bounds. The true times of calamity are approaching with great strides. We must all grow at a rapid pace."

While Konrad's words echoed in Krann's mind, the three pills crossed the Realm Gash to land before him. And as he pocketed them, the gravity in his master's tone didn't escape him.

"Master, will Talroth soon make his move?"

"Indeed, even Hell's Will can't keep dropping Tribulation Lightning forever. There will be a time when it weakens and makes a last-ditch effort. Talroth will use it to make his move. At that time, I believe the entire platform of the omniverse will experience startling changes."

Konrad replied. Though he knew Talroth counted on him to destroy Hell's Will, he didn't plan to stop that motion. The reason was simple. Even if he didn't, in time, someone else would. That being the case, he might as well profit from it, and use their ploy to secure his position in the upcoming war.

And being privy to Konrad's thoughts Krann understood that though he let nothing transpire, a tinge of frustration lingered in Konrad's mind.

"Master, is there really no way to foil his plan?"

Krann couldn't help but ask. However, Konrad shook his head.

"If my conjecture is right, In this world, only Regretless can prevent this plot from coming to fruition. However, to say nothing of the fact that he's currently unconscious. Even if he wasn't, would he sacrifice his life to prevent it? Impossible.

And even if he did, it would only solve a third of the problem."

Konrad inwardly sighed. And though she couldn't hear the ongoing conversation, Moon didn't doubt it didn't put him in a jovial mood.

"Never mind. At the end of the day, strength is the righteous path. There ought to be a Void Mirror Physique owner within the Higher Realms. Once I swallow the wills, I can find it. They may think their plan flawless, but in the future, we will have the means to dispose of them."

The Void Mirror Physique was the third Forbidden Physique. If he could snatch it and unlock 30 locks of all three physiques, then in the future, even if Konrad wasn't an Absolute Supreme, it would be as if.

The connection ended, and Konrad lowered his eyes on Moon who still knelt by his side.

"By harvesting your cultivation, I can rise to mid-stage Anti-God. In these chaotic times, I will never refuse such an offer. However, as for whether I bring you onto the Devil Road or not, that is still a matter of debate. Knowing that, are you still willing?"

Konrad directly asked, and in response, Moon stood up, undoing the straps of her purple dress and letting it slide onto the ground to reveal her splendidly shaped body. Seeing this, Konrad's lips curled into a wolfish grin.

"That being the case, welcome to my household."

Konrad declared, before rising from his seat to pull Moon into a hot and steamy harvesting session at the end of which his cultivation rose to mid-stage Anti-God. On pure cultivation alone, he was now equal to an early-stage Primordial God.

…

Afterward, Konrad stepped into Rati's chambers, awakening from her slumber to bring her up to date. However, it seemed that while she remained trapped in Moon's miniature world, she didn't miss anything of those events. Nearly two months in Moon's world gave her ample time for self-introspection. There was no more need for acclimation.

Instead, she did the only rational thing she could think of, and threw herself in Konrad's arms. Another heated sex romp followed, and during the mating, Konrad not only welcomed Rati onto the Devil Road, but with the massive Devil Force he released through dual cultivation, helped her directly reach the peak of the Boundless Sea Devil Realm.

Although her starting point lost to the rest, with his rod at her disposal, it wouldn't be long before she caught up.

Afterward, from Krann Konrad received several vials of Blood Origin collected by Yvonne in her takeover of the Infernal Realm. The various downed Demon Primogens' Blood Origins stood in the midst alongside the Overlord's Archdemon Blood. As for those four Primogens killed by Talroth, she replaced them with the Blood Origins of their children.

After refining them all, the abilities of all races within the Three Realms were now Konrad's to control. The barrier toward the Firmament Bloodline-level crumbled further. Only one last push remained.

For the following half-month, Konrad strengthened his forces. The remaining four Heaven Swallowing Pills he gave to Selene, Verena, and the Valkyrie. Due to the legions she fed, the Valkyrie received twice the share.

And while the consorts reached the peak of the Prime Devil Realm and sought to comprehend the mysteries of the Anti-God Realm, Konrad spent his time between dual cultivation with Heide, Cacillia, Rati, his various consorts and providing better Devil Pills to his legions. As the deadline approached its end, Moon was officially brought onto the Devil Road, thenceforth bound to their ship.

The legions' strength sharply rose, with the twelve dukes now standing at the late-stage of the Prime Devil Realm and approaching the peak. Of course, such rapid progress mainly relied on time gimmicks and the batches of Anti-God Pills Konrad consecutively refined. Naturally, in terms of celestial lives, the production of those pills came at a hefty price.

Meanwhile, his Fate Devil, the only non-transcendent of the three, approached Transcendence with great strides.

When the deadline knocked on their doorsteps, Konrad had reached the late-stage of the Anti-God Realm. With Blood Nether, he planned to reach the peak. The Dukes all became half-step Anti Gods while the likes of Verena reached the early-stage of the Anti-God Realm, and Yvonne stood at the mid-stage.

The time for the God Executing Immortal Conference had come.
