Luo Yun

***

The Demon World is a world occupied by various types of demons. In that world there is one sovereign who controls everything, he is Luo Yun, who is known as the Heavenly Demon.

Luo Yun was a human from the human world and a genius, as evidenced by his ability to trounce other geniuses like him. Even his cultivation level was very high compared to other geniuses.

However, behind his genius, he was highly ambitious. Because of his ambition, he studied various martial arts and quickly increased his cultivation.

But unfortunately, the human world could not fulfil his ambition for power. He finally stepped onto the demon path and decided to go to the demon world.

For seven years, Luo Yun travelled and strengthened his strength in the demon world, becoming the strongest. Then, a year later, he felt bored with his position at the top without anyone rivalling him. Unfortunately, he did not feel free because of his responsibilities as the ruler of the demon world.

'I'm really tired of all this,' Luo Yun muttered in his heart. He was now sitting on a throne formed from the skulls and bones of demon corpses. The smell of blood was also strong around him.

Then Luo Yun slightly clicked his tongue while looking at the area where twelve demons kneeled before him. They were the strongest subordinates who submitted after he defeated them.

After seeing those strongest subordinates of his, Luo Yun had a thought.

"It's time I choose one of you to succeed me as the ruler of the demon world!" said Luo Yun without hesitation.

The twelve demons who heard him were immediately shocked.

"What?!"

"What do you mean by that, Sovereign?"

"How can we replace you, especially since we are nothing compared to you, Sovereign!"

"Please rethink your words; we are not worth replacing you at all, Sovereign."

Luo Yun smiled wryly; he had guessed his strongest subordinates would disagree with what he said just now.

Fortunately, Luo Yun had ideas for the freedom he wanted after being at the top with no one to match him.

He said, "Inevitably, one of you will have to replace me, as I want to do closed cultivation and try to make a breakthrough to the next level of my cultivation."

"I don't know how long it will take to make a breakthrough. So during that time, one of you should take my place!" Lou Yunxi added firmly.

The twelve Demons who heard this were both shocked and proud. The Heavenly Demon in the current cultivation realm was already so powerful that no one could beat him, so what if he broke through to the next cultivation realm? Wouldn't he be the strongest in the entire universe, not limited to the demon world?

Then, the twelve Demons also supported the decision of Luo Yun, the Heavenly Demon.

But the problem was, who was more suitable to replace Luo Yun? Twelve Demons needed clarification about how to decide this, especially regarding strength, as they were almost equivalent.

Twelve Demons then asked Luo Yun to help choose between them.

"How about it, Lord Heavenly Demon? Which of us is worthy enough to replace you?" asked Lilith, Queen of Succubus, one of Luo Yun's twelve subordinate Demons.

The question spontaneously made Luo Yun think of various things in his mind. 'It's quite difficult to choose one of them.'

'But if I had to choose, I think he is the most suitable to replace me. In addition, he was the Lord of the demon world before I defeated him with a landslide victory!' Luo Yun said in his heart while looking meaningfully at Lucifer, a notoriously arrogant and clever demon.

Luo Yun then said what he had decided. "Alright, the one taking my place is Lucifer. So you guys must respect him, and if he does anything improper, don't hesitate to punish Lucifer!"

Other than Lucifer, the eleven Demons immediately agreed with Luo Yun's decision. None of them had a problem with Lucifer's appointment.

On the other hand, Lucifer was a little reluctant to accept it, as he felt unworthy of replacing the Heavenly Demon.

But over time, he finally accepted it. "Very well, sir. I will replace you, only that after you return from closed cultivation, I will return the position of ruler to you."

Luo Yun immediately agreed, even though he didn't want to be the ruler of the boring demon world. But with Lucifer taking his place, at least he was one step closer to his freedom.

Then Luo Yun stood up from his throne. "I'll go to the dark cave and do my closed cultivation there."

"You guys better not make any noise while I'm cultivating; I don't want to be disturbed!" Luo Yun's last order to the twelve strongest Demons existed in the demon world.

Those Demons immediately answered in unison. "Very well, Sovereign."

Luo Yun immediately rushed towards the dark cave he was referring to.

To his surprise, it turned out that Lucifer intended to follow him, escorting Luo Yun to the dark cave.

The Heavenly Demon had no problem with that. But given Lucifer's nature, he couldn't follow him without any other reason.

As a result, on the way, Luo Yun asked, "Is there anything you want from me, Lucifer?"

Lucifer quickly replied, "Forgive me if I am presumptuous. It's just that I do have a request."

"What is it?" Luo Yun said, his expression showing displeasure. He even emitted a suppressive aura directed at Lucifer.

Lucifer shuddered, his body as if being pressed down by a mountain. With a trembling mouth, he said, "After you've made your cultivation realm breakthrough, let's conquer the human world, Sovereign!"

"This Demon World isn't quite enough for the unconquerable you to occupy after all," Lucifer continued, expressing his thoughts.

Luo Yun snorted as he pondered, 'Just being the ruler of the demon world is very boring and restricts my freedom. So what if I rule the human world as well? Wouldn't it be even more boring?'

Then Luo Yun said with a specific purpose. "Of course, now get out of sight; I can go to the Dark cave alone!"

"Yes, Sovereign!" Lucifer quickly left because he couldn't stand Luo Yun's oppressive aura.

Even so, Lucifer was quite happy, as his request had been answered with The Heavenly Demon's approval.

While Luo Yun smirked a little, how could he obey Lucifer's words? He said that only to keep Lucifer away from him.

Besides, Luo Yun already had his plans for his freedom.
