Chapter 197 The First Step in Annihilating the Lava Demon Clan: Becoming the Grand Elder of the Elder Council

In the 295th year of the Extraordinary Era, based on his understanding of the rules, Sword Elder, with his demigod cultivation level, reviewed the cultivation details of the Crimson Heart Rules and discovered some drawbacks.

[If he could, while comprehending the sword rules beyond this world, resonate with those rules and incorporate a wisp of their power into his soul, it would undoubtedly elevate his combat strength to a new level.]

[But now that he has become a demigod in swordsmanship, it's a bit too late to say all this.]

[Some things, once you reach a certain level, when you look back, you'll find that you made many mistakes and stumbled along the way during your growth.]

[But in the past, when I was lost in the fog, the choices I made were all well-thought-out, or carefully considered, choices that I believed were best suited to my own development.]

Therefore, it is very unwise to judge your past self based on future perspectives.

However, the more the Sword Elder comprehended the rules of the sword, the deeper his understanding of them became, and the more loopholes he discovered in the rules.

Therefore, he summarized and compiled the rules of the Crimson Heart Society, and based on his expertise in swordsmanship, he composed a cultivation method suitable for practicing swordsmanship. Finally, to commemorate the glory of the Crimson Heart Society, he named it: Crimson Heart Swordsmanship Method!

He knew that everything he had achieved was by standing on the shoulders of the giant, the Red Heart Society, and by reaping the fruits of its success.

Without the help of the Red Heart Society, he would probably be considered lucky to have even reached level 95.

In the year 298 of the Extraordinary Era, Sword Elder skipped the cultivation of sword dao rules resonance, attempting to take a shortcut to become stronger. During his attempt to bypass the soul and directly inscribe the sword dao rules into his true spirit, the sword dao rules erupted.

Under the overwhelming power of the sword's rules, the Sword Elder's true spirit was annihilated.

In the year 310 of the Extraordinary Era, the Sophia branch, amidst a series of high-level power struggles, completely transformed its former Red Heart ideology.

[Some of these politicians, by collaborating with devils from hell, have completely distorted the Red Heart Society, steering it in a direction aligned with the devil's family.]

The lava demon Agrelius was furious upon hearing this.

The Sofia branch is a subordinate organization established by the Red Heart Society in the world of Sofia.

【Now! 】

These Sofia humans dared to arbitrarily alter His sacred ideals, which He had made His lifelong faith, to such an extent, even colluding with the devils of hell to rewrite them into a complete mess.

The Red Heart Society was destroyed by the God of Blood Prison!

[How dare these Sofia branches, which only survived because of the glory of the Red Heart Society, do such a thing?]

[Perhaps Agris is no match for the God of Blood Prison right now, and is powerless to destroy the various enemies of the Red Heart Society, but destroying the Sophia branch is still no problem for him.]

[Therefore, He led His lava army out of the abyss portal and began to sweep across the world of Sophia with unparalleled might.]

[He wanted to tell the Sophia branch that since the Red Heart Society could bestow glory upon you, then when you betray the Red Heart Society, the remaining power of the Red Heart Society can also wipe you out!]

In the year 380 of the Extraordinary Calendar, Agrelius led the Lava Army to annihilate a medium-sized angelic legion.

Such a feat was a blessing from the will of the abyss.

In an instant, Agrelius took another step forward at the level of a Supreme Lord.

In the year 435 of the Extraordinary Calendar, Agrelius led his Lava Army on campaigns across the north and south.

Although the headquarters of the Red Heart Society has been destroyed, Agros and his Lava Army are still members of the Red Heart Society.

They spread the glory of the Red Heart Society far and wide even in the depths of the abyss.

Without your guidance, without Lin Xue's tolerance, and without Deng Qi's command and development of the Lava Army, the Lava Army under Agris's command has become increasingly disorganized.

Especially with the intense warfare during this period, resulting in the deaths of a large number of Lava Army soldiers, and the fact that newly recruited demon soldiers had not received the glory of the Red Heart Society, chaos erupted within the Lava Army.

Agris did not take this seriously.

[What He cares about is the number of Supreme Lords He can activate.]

In the year 497 of the Extraordinary Era, Agrelius used every means at his disposal, directly controlling more than thirty Supreme Lords.

[And over the years, He has maintained positive communication with the Lava Demon race, even using the authority of the Abyss to personally shatter the thought imprint within His own soul in front of the Elder Council, publicly stating that as a member of the Lava Demon race, He harbors immense affection for His race.]

The Red Heart Society is merely a means for Him to strengthen Himself; they are nothing more than a group of insignificant humans, easily wiped out.

Furthermore, by utilizing the various powers He possessed, He helped the Lava Demon race achieve great victories in their wars against other demon races.

Therefore, His prestige among the lava demon race grew ever higher.

[The Elder Council has even recently nominated him, hoping to make him the Third Elder of the Lava Demon Clan.]

In the year 501 of the Extraordinary Era, during the meeting where he was to become the Third Elder, Aglus had his Supreme Lord secretly sabotage the meeting, blowing up the Elder Council and ruining the opportunity for his promotion to Elder.

[Nominally, Agris was the victim of this incident, so the Elder Council did not suspect her.]

[Even the Elder Council began a full investigation into Agris's political enemies.]

[During this process, Agrelius used various means, with undisguised malice, to induce several of his political enemies to defect to the Lava Demon race.] [Thus, Agrelius began a large-scale purge of dissidents within the Council of Elders.]

Of course, on the surface, He still pretends to love and care for His people.

[His deception fooled all the demons in the Elder Council.]

Ultimately, the wise respond with no anger.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Lava Demon clan's higher-ups, the fact that the Wise One showed no anger meant that their investigation was flawless and everything was proceeding according to the Elder Council's plan.

In the year 508 of the Extraordinary Era, Aglus, along with his subordinates, killed the Grand Elder using methods befitting a supreme being of the Spirit Clan during the Grand Elder's return journey from the Spirit Demon Clan.

This incident greatly angered and infuriated the Lava Demon race.

Thus, at Agrelius's call, a large-scale war broke out between the Lava Demon race and the Spirit Demon race.

In the year 526 of the Extraordinary Calendar, Aglus led from the front on the battlefield, greatly increasing his prestige within his race and making him the de facto ruler of the Lava Demon Elder Council.

After gaining actual control of the Lava Demon race, He began to place the elders of the Red Heart Society, who had emerged from the Lava Army, into various key positions within the Lava Demon race.

This matter sparked strong opposition within the Lava Demon race, with some Lava Demons even accusing Agrelius of plotting something sinister.

Faced with dissenting voices, Agris confronted them head-on with a brutal attack.

In the year 539 of the Extraordinary Calendar, Aglus led the Lava Demon Clan, using all the power of the entire demon race to completely shatter the boundaries between the twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, and twenty-eighth levels of Hell.

That reckless fighting style, that frenzied approach of having the tribe's soldiers cultivate the Life-Burning Secret Technique, unleashing and burning everything, brought back memories for the Great Mushrooms who had witnessed the Red Heart Alliance's past.

They were especially terrified after seeing Agrelius's appearance.

[Isn't this the Supreme Lord who followed the Red Heart Society back then?]

How did the other party become the de facto leader of the Lava Demon clan?

[Wasn't the true source of the Red Heart Society's destruction the work of the Lava Demon race?]

In other words, the other side joined the Red Heart Society, thrived under its tutelage, and eventually colluded with their own tribe to destroy the Red Heart Society?

Everyone says Hell is treacherous, and its demons are cunning, but now it seems that this Agrippa is the true progenitor of shamelessness!

In the year 543 of the Extraordinary Era, Aglus received successive blessings from the will of the abyss, and the abyssal authority within him grew ever stronger.

[Now, ordinary supreme lords cannot even withstand a single encounter with Him.]

[Deep down, He could sense that He was just one powerful energy surge away from ascending to the level of a Demon God.]

But this opportunity might come tomorrow, or it might never return.

As a demon nurtured by the Red Heart Society, adhering to the principle of not passing on hope to the future and creating hope where none exists, He began ordering His true loyalists to inscribe a blood sacrifice array within the Lava Demon race.

[He will sacrifice the entire Lava Demon race, using all Lava Demons and demons with Lava Demon blood as provisions for his ascension to become a Demon God.]

[Don't wise people say they hope to use every means possible to achieve their goals?]

Didn't the wise man say he wished he could become a demon god?

For a wise person, isn't the development of the Lava Demon race the most important thing?

【it is good! 】

Since the Lava Demon race was the trigger and root cause of the Red Heart Society's destruction, then He will exterminate the Lava Demon race!

His life was one of constant walking on thin ice.

The truly happy, joyful, and delightful times were all spent in the Chixin Society.

From the moment the Red Heart Society was destroyed, from the moment everyone died at the hands of the God of Blood Prison, His heart was filled only with revenge!

[First, wipe out the Lava Demon race, then use all your power to drag the God of Blood Prison down with you in Hell!]

He did not discuss this plan with Bartók and Sam.

From the moment He began setting up the sacrificial array, these two Supreme Lords from the Red Heart Society understood His plan.

Regardless, they were willing to go all out with Agrippa one last time.

【everything!】

【For the sake of sincerity! 】

Although the ideal of unwavering loyalty has become an unattainable illusion, the loyalty within them has always remained!
