Chapter 68 The Fall of the Demon Emperor
Kneel?
Su Yie laughed. Did he truly think he was invincible?
What is wrong with helping you win a battle and picking up some rewards along the way?
It was your own promise, after all!
While transcending tribulation, Su Yie shouted, "Demon Emperor, I'm giving you a chance. If you don't retreat now, I will make your death a gruesome sight!"
As soon as he spoke, the whole of Yaojian Mountain erupted in tumult, and even the tens of thousands in the Demon Army were stunned.
Has the Demon Lord been struck silly by lightning?
The Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, then bellowed furiously, "You little worm! Do you really think you are without equal in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yie rolled his eyes. Weren't these my inner thoughts?
The Demon Emperor's subordinates followed with their mockery.
"Have you lost your mind? You want our Demon Emperor to die?"
"Exactly, the Demon Lord must have been struck bad by the lightning!"
"Tsk, tsk, the spiritual energy here is so rich."
"Kill them! Restore the might of the Demon Emperor!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Facing an enemy army buzzing with excitement, the side of Yaojian Mountain was fraught with panic.
Nan Xiaopao stood outside the forest, looking down at the dense Demon Army below. She was extremely nervous, muttering to herself, "It's over... it's all over..."
It wasn't just her, Luo Zhenhai, who was on a neighboring peak, was so angered by Su Yie's words that he sat down immediately, his face clouded over as he gritted his teeth, "I, Luo Zhenhai, a hero for a lifetime, did not expect to die here."
The Demon Emperor's overwhelming presence made him realize that his death was certain.
The Crimson Flame Lion King wailed even more, "How did I end up with such a master?"
The other Shape-Shifting Great Demons also fell into despair, and some monsters even fled from behind Yaojian Mountain. However, the Demon Army was everywhere, including in the sky, and their numbers were increasing, leaving no escape.
Wux Qingyao approached the cliff and looked up at the thunderclouds above, the only one who didn't believe Su Yie had gone mad.
Could it be...
The Divine Shadow Legion!
She had guessed where Su Yie's confidence stemmed from.
Still, she couldn't help her curiosity. Why did Emperor Su favor him so much?
Both surnamed Su, could it be that Su Yie was a descendant of Emperor Su?
The more she thought, the more plausible it seemed. As to whether Su Yie could be Emperor Su himself, she didn't consider it at all.
Emperor Su's terrifying aura, every time she remembered it, made her shudder uncontrollably, something incomparable to Su Yie.
Meanwhile, the Demon Army had already surrounded three peaks of Yaojian Mountain, and countless Demon Birds circled above, just waiting for the Demon Emperor's command to inundate Yaojian Mountain.
The Demon Emperor spoke again, "Demon Lord, if you don't come down this instant, all your subordinates will join you in burial!"
He was deliberately toying with Su Yie.
Once he left the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, his breakthrough would be terminated.
Within the range of Heavenly Might, living beings' comprehension is enhanced. Should the breakthrough fail, Su Yie's mind would be left with shadows, or even a Heart Demon.
All the demons understood this, all of them terrified of the Demon Emperor's ruthlessness.
Not only did he want Su Yie to die, he also wanted to torment him before death, a true attack on the mind!
Su Yie too understood the malicious scheme of the Demon Emperor and immediately sneered.
"Demon Emperor, since you are deluded, I shall let you descend into hell with regret!"
Su Yie's sneer echoed down from Yaojian Mountain, causing countless monsters to think he had lost his mind.
Just then, a series of shadows appeared atop the mountain, namely Shangguan Wuji, Li Huahun, Demon Lord Qing Yan, Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands, Xia Tianyi, Black Tiger Emperor, Demon Wolf Star, Elder Lord Qi Yang, Li Zuxuan, Wux Qingyao, and ten other Divine Shadows.
Su Yie cast his gaze upon Shangguan Wuji and Li Huahun. Shangguan Wuji appeared as an old man, thin and stooped, while Li Huahun resembled a youthful figure.
With no time to think, he issued a command in his mind.
All nine Divine Shadows, except Wux Qingyao, leaped into action immediately.
The Demon Emperor was about to order the start of the battle, when he saw nine dark shadows flying from the mountain top.
"What is that?"
The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, little knowing that death was also drawing near.
It wasn't just him, many monsters noticed the Divine Shadow Legion descending from the sky.
"The Divine Shadow Legion!"
Wux Qingyao trembled all over, her beautiful eyes widening.
Nan Xiaopao also froze in shock as he had never seen the Divine Shadow Legion before.
The Crimson Flame Lion King was dumbfounded, his thoughts racing to the battle of Xunfeng Mountain.
Could it be…
The Divine Shadow Legion charged directly towards the Demon Emperor, and the fastest among them was Li Huahun's Divine Shadow.
His speed suddenly increased, so alarming the Demon Emperor that he hastily stood up, but before his legs could straighten, Li Huahun had already swept over his head.
Puchi—
Blood sprayed like a fountain, the Demon Emperor's head spinning rapidly in the air, flung hundreds of meters away, landing in the hands of an imp, who froze, then screamed and threw the Demon Emperor's head away.
Instant kill!
The Demon Emperor, who had dominated the Bailing Territory, was instantly killed!
None had seen clearly how Li Huahun had made his move, for his speed was simply too fast!
At this moment, the demon armies on both sides fell deadly silent, every monster gaping in shock at the Demon Emperor's body.
A streak of light shot out from the Demon Emperor's body, his soul attempting to flee.
But Shangguan Wuji followed closely and with a palm strike, dispersed it, shocking both armies.
The rest of the Divine Shadows landed on the grassland, waiting for Su Yie's command.
With the Demon Emperor dead, they had lost their target.
Emperor Su, in the midst of transcending tribulation, bellowed, "Anyone who dares flee, dies! Today, all of you must submit to me!"
The Demon Army brought by the Demon Emperor numbered nearly five hundred thousand, among which were over a hundred shape-shifting Great Demons, more than a dozen Divine Power Demon Kings, and one Condensed Spirit Demon King—none could be let go.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's army immediately lost their morale and scattered in all directions.
The Divine Shadow Legion immediately made their move, slaughtering those monsters attempting to escape.
The Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands even transformed into a vicious serpent hundreds of meters long, ravaging the firmament, terrifying the fleeing Demon Birds so much that they dared not scatter.
Yaojian Mountain's side fell silent for quite a while, then erupted with a thunderous cheer.
"The Demon Emperor is dead!"
"What is that? Could it be the minions of the Demon Lord?"
"No! They show no signs of life! Could it be Divine Skills?"
"So powerful! They instantly killed the Demon Emperor!"
"No wonder the Demon Lord dares to boast that he will dominate the Bailing Territory!"
The monsters were uncontrollably excited, even hugging each other and jumping up and down on the spot.
Very quickly, the entire battlefield was controlled by the Divine Shadow Legion, and after tens of thousands of monsters had died, the remaining Demon Army dared not run away.
To avoid exposure, Su Yie intentionally kept Wux Qingyao's Divine Shadow on the mountain.
If Nan Xiaopao saw it, he might start to have wild thoughts.
Meanwhile, Su Yie finally comprehended a Divine Skill!
With a thought, he moved directly from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, and with another thought, he returned to the peak, all within less than a breath's time.
The straight-line distance was over a thousand meters!
"This Divine Skill shall be named 'Dominion'!"
Su Yie thought to himself, and then another Mysterious Thunder fell, two zhang in diameter, as if it wanted to collapse the main peak.
Alarmed, he flipped his hand and drew out the Zhou Wu Sword, executing the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword to block it.
Boom—
In an instant, a dazzling bright light burst forth atop the mountain peak, causing all the monsters to look up.
Under the thunderclouds, Su Yie's Sword Qi withstood the Mysterious Thunder, the clouds and fog around Yaojian Mountain were shaken apart, an awe-inspiring spectacle that even the Condensed Spirit Demon King under the Demon Emperor watched with wide eyes.
Using a sword to block the heavenly tribulation?
