... The Dark Demon Emperor let out a wild peal of laughter, instantly causing the hundreds of beautiful women and handsome men from various races kneeling on the ground to tremble in terror, completely stripped of their former aura? Knowing the true nature of the Dark Demon Emperor, they were all acutely aware that once Dark Demon Emperor Darkness burst into laughter, a storm of blood and slaughter was imminent.

The harder he laughed, the stronger his murderous intent grew. And those closest to him were inevitably the first to suffer. “Hah!

Zhongli Qing, oh Zhongli Qing, I have no idea what manner of audacity has possessed you this time,” the Dark Demon Emperor roared with unrestrained glee, his magnificent, naked body standing proudly and utterly unconcerned with the others. “If we had met on a narrow path, perhaps I would have feared you slightly. But you must be utterly brainless to dare challenge me on my own turf.

How could I possibly let you leave alive? Hah! Satisfying, utterly satisfying!

The grievances of ten thousand years shall finally be settled.” With his laughter, the handsome men and beautiful women grew even paler, their hearts threatening to burst from their chests, their teeth chattering uncontrollably. “What?” The Dark Demon Emperor noticed their fear and his face twisted in annoyance. “Are you not pleased that I am about to exact my ultimate revenge?” “Pleased, we are all pleased,” a chorus of trembling inner voices echoed through the cavernous hall.

Each one forced a smile that looked far worse than a grimace. “Good, good. Since everyone is happy, let us continue our joy.” The Dark Demon Emperor laughed maniacally, raising a hand and unleashing a surge of pure Dark Demonic Qi, sweeping up a fox-tailed woman of some unknown (Yao Ling) race.

He entered her with brutal force. Her agony was soul-shattering, eliciting a piercing shriek. But the more pain she endured, the more excruciating her cries, the more exhilarated Dark Demon Emperor Darkness became, his laughter growing wider.

Moments later, that very cute Yao Ling woman, possessing a pair of small tiger fangs, was brutally slain by his hands. “Exhilarating. Truly invigorating.” With a sweep of his demonic energy, her corpse was pulverized into a bloody pulp.

Yet, this small release was far from enough to satisfy him. He then channeled his demonic power again, sweeping up a fair-skinned handsome man... Several days later, this grand hall was enveloped in a stench of gore so potent it permeated the air.

The floor was slick with blood plasma and the agonizing remains of countless corpses. ... Several months later.

In a void tens of millions of li away from the Dark Demon Realm. Here, the area was a complete wasteland, comprised entirely of debris fields formed from shattered worlds. These massive fragments were being pulled by the gravitational influence of a pair of magnificent, dark-red suns in the distance, which exuded a bloody aura.

These colossal stones formed a long river. It was rumored that this place was formed from a world once destroyed by the Dark Demon Emperor. The corpses of powerful cultivators still drifted within this river of debris, untouched by decay for eons.

Hundreds of warships, large and small, adorned with hideous spikes and grotesque demonic statues carved into their hulls, radiated an intense black miasma. They advanced from the distance, tearing through the void. Upon impact with the lead vessel, the scattered meteoroids shattered into dust, drifting aimlessly in the endless expanse.

“As expected, the Dark Demon Emperor is ultimately a coward afraid of death,” Lei Dong and his companions, hidden within a secluded area protected by formations, watched the massive fleet rampage with detached interest, offering such observations. “Heh, given his status, it is normal for him to be overly cautious,” Tiger Emperor Bai Li laughed heartily. “Young Master, you don't know this, but that Dark Demon Emperor has far too many enemies.

Even I, if I happened to see him in a moment of weakness, would be tempted to step on him.” As Tiger Emperor Bai Li spent more time with Lei Dong, his awe for the young master grew. Firstly, the Young Master was exceptionally generous. Although he confiscated much of Bai Li’s Chaos Crystals and resources, he later bestowed half a Chaos Origin.

This left the Tiger Emperor ecstatic, increasing his reverence for Lei Dong tenfold. Especially considering this was merely the Young Master; how terrifyingly powerful must the true Master behind him be? It wasn't that the Three Great Supremes were stingy, but they certainly wouldn't casually grant a Chaos Origin as a reward to a subordinate.

It was no wonder that Azure Dragon Emperor was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the Mother of All Spirits. The great Mother of All Spirits and the other Supremes merely treated them as tools. Especially since Lei Dong had broken through his shackles in such a short time, advancing to the Quasi-Saint level.

This massive surge in power gradually secured the loyalty of Tiger Emperor Bai Li and Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor Zhongli Qing. Before the Young Master even reached Quasi-Saint status, he could already fight two opponents at once. Now that he was a Quasi-Saint, the Tiger Emperor couldn't fathom how many moves he could withstand against this unfathomable Young Master.

Now, the Tiger Emperor was intensely envious of Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor. The Young Master had already promised that if this plan succeeded and the Dark Demon Emperor perished, Zhongli Qing would be credited with a major achievement and rewarded with three portions of Chaos Origin. If that materialized, the fortunate Zhongli Qing would have accumulated nearly a full Chaos Origin in rewards throughout his life.

With diligent cultivation, he would have an excellent chance of advancing to Quasi-Saint. At this thought, the Tiger Emperor’s heart burned with ambition, frantically seeking an opportunity to earn merit. If he didn't act soon to acquire more cultivation resources for rapid progress, the Tiger Emperor knew the gap between himself and the Young Master would only widen.

Furthermore, Canglan Fairy and Queen of Suffering, once obscure figures, were already at the peak of the Integration stage. No one wanted to be left so far behind that they couldn't even be seen. That enormous demonic fleet, after wreaking havoc and leveling the entire river of debris, found no sign of any ambush.

Meanwhile, Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor transformed, reaching a height of several hundred zhang, sitting cross-legged in the void like an old monk in deep meditation. The Celestial Heaven Sword circled around him, radiating dazzling beams of light, as if issuing a direct challenge to the Dark Demon Emperor, who still had not appeared. “Zhongli Qing, hah!

I never imagined you would dare show up alone,” the Dark Demon Emperor finally emerged from an inconspicuous warship after confirming there were no hidden forces. He too transformed into a colossal Demon Emperor several hundred zhang tall, laughing freely. “You self-important fool, are you tired of living and have come here to deliver your life?” “Darkness, I have come to avenge my wife and child,” Although this was a dangerous lure mission, Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor was fiercely enthusiastic about it.

The hatred between him and the Dark Demon Emperor was a feud that all the waters of the Styx could not fully recount. Moreover, the fact that the Young Master specifically chose this enemy for annihilation made the Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor absolutely willing to participate and offer his full support. Even if he perished during the luring process, he would consider it a worthy sacrifice.

“Zhongli Qing, stop your false righteousness,” the Dark Demon Emperor, bolstered by the presence of hundreds of thousands of Dark Demon troops behind him, laughed maniacally with absolute confidence. “You sealed yourself away for millions of years and neglected to comfort your wife and child. I, the Dark Demon Emperor, acted honorably, merely helping your wife and child alleviate their loneliness.

Although, to speak of it, your fairy wife was quite spirited. She was the most satisfying and memorable experience of my life, Darkness!” The face of the Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor contorted, as the Demon Emperor's words struck the deepest core of his pain and regret. He roared, “Darkness, perish!” The Celestial Heaven Sword elongated into thousands of zhang, and a brilliant sword light slashed toward the Dark Demon Emperor.

That strike carried the endless agony of the Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor; it was devastatingly potent and saturated with malevolence, as if intending to cleave the very heavens and earth in two. The Dark Demon Emperor’s smile vanished, replaced by grim focus. He mused that this Zhongli fellow must have a reason for daring to come here seeking revenge; his strength had clearly improved.

While still far from the Quasi-Saint level, the power of this single strike far surpassed that of an average peak expert. “Good, come then!” The Dark Demon Emperor summoned his own saber, named the Dark Demonic Blade, ranked ninth among the Ten Great Chaos Supreme Treasures, just slightly below the Celestial Heaven Sword, which ranked tied for seventh. This, too, was an incredibly formidable demonic blade.

The Dark Demonic Blade, the Demonic Blade of Destruction, and the Demonic Blade of Hell—collectively known as the Three Great Demonic Weapons—were all Chaos Supreme Treasures personally forged by one of the Supremes, the Demon Venerable. It wasn't strictly true that the ninth-ranked blade must lose to the seventh-ranked sword. The difference between them was negligible; superiority ultimately depended on the fighting prowess of the wielder.

A blade of pitch-black demonic energy transformed into a mournful arc of steel, meeting the oncoming attack with an aura no less potent than the Celestial Heaven Sword’s. When the two weapons collided, a violent shockwave erupted, surging in all directions. Wherever it passed, the space within several thousand li shattered, grinding everything into fine dust.

“Hah! Zhongli Qing, you aren't the only one who has improved!” The Dark Demon Emperor roared with laughter. “I, Darkness, have also diligently cultivated my Dark Demonic Arts over the years; I am not far behind you.

Oh, and one more thing—your daughter, that little fairy, was also a delight. So tight, she gave this Emperor absolute pleasure.” “Darkness, you pervert, you madman!” The Celestial Heaven Sword Emperor charged forward frantically, unleashing torrents of sword light that rained down like meteors upon the Dark Demon Emperor. “I will ensure you are destroyed forever, forever sinking into the cycle of reincarnation, never to rise again!” “On your own?

Hah!” The Dark Demon Emperor laughed wildly. “All this talk of morality and righteousness, have you forgotten that you also slew my son and cut him into meat paste? Today, Darkness will have vengeance for my son!” The higher-tier demons possessed extremely low fertility rates; for the Dark Demon Emperor’s level to produce even one offspring was a monumental stroke of luck.

Thus, no matter how depraved the Dark Demon Emperor was, he held deep affection for his son, seeing him as the focus of his existence. One immortal and one demon engaged in a desperate, life-or-death struggle amidst the flattened debris field. Immortal Qi churned violently while Demonic Qi spun wildly.

For a time, they fought to a standstill. A battle between combatants of their caliber typically resulted in mutual destruction unless one side willingly ceased fighting. However, the Dark Demon Emperor had no intention of dying alongside his foe.

With a wave of his hand, the hundreds of thousands of demon troops surged forward. ...
