# Chapter 2260: Lord of the Territory
The three-month deadline was drawing closer and closer. In the Ten Thousand Demon King's territory, countless demon beasts felt their hearts tremble slightly. Even the commanders of various territories raised their heads to gaze at the sky mirror.
"Is the Demon Son about to be born?"
At this moment, in the place where Lin Feng was, beneath the death array, massive piles of bones and corpses accumulated there, shocking all the demon beasts. It was as if the slaughter had numbed them. Since Lin Feng declared his intention to become the Demon Son, he had only appeared in two places. He hadn't even deliberately wandered around to avoid others' challenges. Instead, he directly faced all the powerful ones.
"His death intent seems to have become even more terrifying. These nearly three months have instead allowed him to temper his death power." Bai Yu looked at Lin Feng's eyes, her heart trembling slightly. These three months of battle seemed to reveal Lin Feng's transformation, becoming more and more terrifying. By now, against ordinary demon emperor figures, he only needed to sweep out with his death dao, and with a single thought, he could kill them. Such formidable combat power was something she had never seen before.
Another demon beast charged into the array, making people sigh at its courage. As those talented demon emperors who had come from afar were killed, fewer and fewer dared to attack Lin Feng in these last few days. In fact, in the hearts of many demon beasts, they had already begun to accept the fact that Lin Feng was about to become the Demon Son. For anyone still daring to step forward, one had to admire their courage.
However, what awaited them was still death. Before long, it turned into another corpse among the piled bones. Many demon beasts thought to themselves that the bones accumulated below were already an unimaginable treasure.
In the last two days, no demon beast made a move anymore. Until the three-month deadline was about to arrive, figures seemed to stroll through the void. These figures were extremely powerful, standing there as if they were the rulers of this space.
"Commander Peng." Many demon beasts saw the commander of this territory, and it was indeed Commander Peng who had arrived.
"Commander Jiao." Someone looked at the other arriving experts, showing respect. That was the commander of another territory. All the commanders had come here to witness this final moment, the birth of the Demon Son.
Their gazes all fell upon Lin Feng. Everyone had seen his battles. This would be the first person to become the Demon Son while still at the Martial Emperor cultivation level. This also meant that Lin Feng's future achievements would surely surpass theirs.
"Crack!" A sound of shattering made everyone's hearts tremble slightly. It was the mirror in the void reflecting Lin Feng's image that had shattered. This also meant that the three-month deadline had arrived. Lin Feng was officially crowned, becoming the Demon Son of this generation's Ten Thousand Demon King's territory.
"The Demon Son is born." In the Ten Thousand Demon King's territory, the hearts of all people and demon beasts trembled simultaneously. In the sky above, a figure strolled over, as if walking down from the Nine Heavens. This person had no aura at all, extremely ordinary. If he appeared on the ground, no one would even pay attention to him. However, those experts understood that this was a state of returning to simplicity. As long as he didn't want to reveal himself, he was no different from an ordinary person.
"Lord of the Territory." Those commanders slightly bowed to the figure strolling through the void, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble. It was actually the Lord of the Territory himself. He had appeared.
"Haha, congratulations. After me, there is finally another Demon Son born." This figure strolled to Lin Feng's side and said with a smile.
"After him. So the Lord of the Territory was actually the previous Demon Son. Now, he has become a top-tier figure."
"I wonder what level the Lord of the Territory has reached now. He must be an incredibly terrifying existence." Many people thought secretly in their hearts. They then looked at Lin Feng again. In the future, he might become an existence like the Lord of the Territory.
"You will follow me for now." The Lord of the Territory said with a smile, then looked at the demon beasts and said, "Since the Demon Son has appeared, in the next month, there may be selections for the Demon Son's guardians. This matter will be handled by the commanders."
"Yes, Lord of the Territory." The commanders nodded slightly. Then the Lord of the Territory looked at Lin Feng and said, "Let's go."
As he spoke, a force enveloped Lin Feng, and the two figures instantly disappeared from the spot, causing Bai Yu and the others to be stunned. He was gone. This guy had become the Demon Son, destined to have a terrifying future.
Lin Feng followed the Lord of the Territory and carefully observed him. Small eyes, a square face, with a hint of agedness. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, ordinary beyond ordinary.
"Senior, where are we going?" Lin Feng asked.
"To the place where I'm currently staying." The Lord of the Territory said with a smile, taking Lin Feng who knew how far. They even passed through several teleportation gates. Finally, he brought Lin Feng to a very ordinary city. This city had both humans and demon beasts, and they lived together harmoniously. Moreover, their cultivation levels were very weak. This made Lin Feng wonder how the dignified Lord of the Territory could be in such a place.
The two figures landed on the ground. Lin Feng was full of confusion. The Lord of the Territory said to Lin Feng, "Don't call me senior. Just call me Uncle Wang."
"Alright, Uncle Wang. But where exactly are we?"
"A small city in one of the Ten Thousand Demon King's worlds. I've been living here recently. It's quite peaceful." The Lord of the Territory and Lin Feng walked into a street. Immediately, someone beside them smiled and shouted, "Master Wang, who is this handsome young man? Could it be that you found a man for your daughter?"
"Daughter?" Lin Feng's expression stiffened.
"Hehe." The Lord of the Territory gave a simple and honest smile. Along the way, people kept greeting him, until a beautiful young girl appeared ahead. Seeing the Lord of the Territory coming, she couldn't help but smile and call out, "Dad, you're back."
"En, I'm back." The Lord of the Territory smiled, then took the girl's hand. The girl also curiously sized up Lin Feng. Together, they walked into a blacksmith shop.
"Dad, quite a bit of stock has accumulated recently, waiting for you to help forge equipment." The girl said with a smile. The Lord of the Territory smiled and responded, "I'll get to work right away."
As he said this, he actually walked into the open forging area of the blacksmith shop. Under Lin Feng's astonished gaze, he picked up a hammer and began to shape the rough.
The girl, on the other hand, curiously sized up Lin Feng and asked with a smile, "Who are you?"
Lin Feng's expression stiffened slightly. He saw the Lord of the Territory look up and smile at him. Lin Feng replied, "I'm a friend of Uncle Wang's from outside. I came back with Uncle Wang to visit."
After saying this, Lin Feng curiously looked at the girl and asked, "Are you really Uncle Wang's daughter?"
"What, don't I look like it?" The girl asked playfully.
"No, I just wanted to ask how old you are." Lin Feng smiled.
"Nineteen." The girl responded. Hearing her answer, Lin Feng fell silent. Afterwards, he also saw the Lord of the Territory's wife, a beautiful woman with considerable charm. When people came here, they would even praise the Lord of the Territory for his good fortune—a beautiful wife and a talented daughter.
Lin Feng stayed here for a few days. The Lord of the Territory lived the most ordinary life. No one here knew that he was a territorial lord, a terrifying existence. They all regarded him as an ordinary blacksmith.
But the shock in Lin Feng's heart was indescribable. Was this experiencing life? Lin Feng had no doubt that this Lord of the Territory might have been living here for decades, at least nineteen years, because his daughter was nineteen years old.
At this moment, Lin Feng couldn't help but think: those powerful and formidable figures have countless years of life. Would many of them experience life like this? Living life after life, or leaving gracefully midway, with no one even knowing how many families they had or how many bloodlines they left behind.
One day, Lin Feng and the Lord of the Territory were both in the backyard, lying on chairs. The Lord of the Territory smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Very surprised." Lin Feng responded.
"Normal. You're still young, perhaps unable to imagine. Only by experiencing various lives can one have a complete existence. It's even beneficial for your state of mind. On this continent, there are too many existences like me, all living ordinary, mundane lives. Even if you walk right beside them, you wouldn't know."
Lin Feng deeply nodded in agreement. Indeed, even if he walked beside such a person, he wouldn't think that this was a territorial lord. How many years had the Nine Heavens Continent existed? Were the ancient saints all dead? Of course not. So where did they go? Perhaps they were living the most ordinary lives, seeking their own pleasures in life.
"Just becoming the Demon Son, enjoying the attention of all eyes, and suddenly becoming so ordinary again. Are you a bit unaccustomed to this change?" The Lord of the Territory asked with another smile.
However, Lin Feng shook his head. He actually took the Demon Son rather lightly. But that kind of transition still had some impact.
"Grinding away the sharp edges, washing away the glitz—when the state of mind changes, that is growth." The Lord of the Territory said with a smile. Lin Feng understood that he was guiding him, not in terms of strength.
"I became the Demon Son just to leave the Ten Thousand Demon King's territory. Now I think, after I leave, maybe I should also go and experience an ordinary life." Lin Feng said with a smile. The Lord of the Territory nodded slightly: "No rush. Stay a few more days. Once the Demon Son's guardians are selected, I'll have them stand by at any time. Then you can leave. You can also take them out for a walk."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Lin Feng expressed his thanks.
"No need. This is what the Ten Thousand Demon King asked me to do. He has very high hopes for you." The Lord of the Territory smiled and responded. "If one day we can stand high above, there will definitely be a place for you in that group."
