223: The Demon Emperor has arrived!!

Outside the Profound Spirit Space, in Yin Yang City.

In a quiet and peaceful courtyard.

Kong Yunchang lay on a wicker chair, warm sunlight filtering through the cold clouds, lazily scattering down.

Shining on Kong Yunchang's face.

Kong Yunchang enjoyed this quiet and peaceful time.

Beside him, Lan Linglong held a book, her face serene. She quietly turned the pages, making a rustling sound that was surprisingly pleasant to hear.

Suddenly, in the quiet courtyard, Kong Yunchang abruptly opened his eyes. A powerful aura flashed across his body.

It directly shattered the entire peaceful scene.

Lan Linglong gently raised her head, looking at Kong Yunchang with some confusion: "Revered Master, has something happened?"

She saw a hint of solemnity on Kong Yunchang's face. He slowly sat up from the wicker chair, his gaze directed towards the area outside Yin Yang City.

In his ancient-looking eyes, a sharp glint suddenly appeared.

"Some people... can't sit still anymore!"

Kong Yunchang spoke slowly, his voice deep yet tinged with solemnity.

His face was already filled with a grave expression.

Finally, he looked at Lan Linglong beside him with a touch of helplessness.

"Girl... Great Xia is still useless after all. In the end, I still have to ask for your help!"

Lan Linglong seemed to understand something. She reached out her slender, fair hand to brush away a strand of hair from her ear, then smiled gently.

"Revered Master, there's no need to say so much. Disciple is already ready!"

As she spoke, the smile on Lan Linglong's face grew even brighter.

But beneath that bright smile, Kong Yunchang's heart grew even more sorrowful.

He was silent for a long time, eventually letting out a long sigh as he stood up from the wicker chair.

"After all, I still have to meet this old friend!"

As his voice fell, Kong Yunchang slowly took a step, directly treading on the Void Realm. There was clearly nothing beneath his feet, yet he was able to walk upon the Void Realm as if treading on solid ground.

His movements seemed slow, but in a single step, he had already crossed half of Yin Yang City.

Lan Linglong watched Kong Yunchang, then shifted her gaze to the entrance of the Profound Spirit Space, a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Little Junior Brother... he should be alright, right!"

Lan Linglong murmured, eventually returning her gaze to the book. But at this moment, Lan Linglong seemed to have suddenly lost interest in reading and gently closed the book.

She stood up and stretched, the warm sunlight falling on her, as if she were an angel bathed in golden light.

"Ten more years of life, hmm, that's quite long!"

Lan Linglong smiled slightly, her lotus-like steps light as she carried the book and walked out of the courtyard... On a majestic snow-capped mountain, two figures stood silently at the peak.

One person wore a gray tracksuit, and his top was even a short-sleeved one.

Bathed in the wind and snow, he felt no cold at all.

The other person was enveloped in a pitch-black robe, wearing a dog-headed mask.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that old fellow from the Sky Demon Royal Clan really couldn't sit still, could he?"

Suddenly, Wang Mu smacked his lips and spoke with a laugh.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Changsheng glanced at the Demonic Qi World but detected nothing, only seeing endless darkness. He looked at Wang Mu with some confusion.

He saw Wang Mu with his arms crossed over his chest, watching the endless darkness as if enjoying a good show.

"What do you see?"

Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but ask.

He was truly a bit confused. One must know that ever since he took the position of Xu Gou, his cultivation had also rapidly increased, and now he had already reached the Golden Body Realm cultivation.

But precisely, when he looked at the Demonic Qi World just now, apart from that expanse of darkness, there was nothing else.

Wang Mu smiled slightly but did not answer Zhao Changsheng's question, only looking leisurely towards the entrance of the Profound Spirit Space.

"It seems my Little Junior Brother has pushed Tian Lingzi to the last step. That old fellow finally couldn't sit still!"

"But then again, if he could grasp this Profound Spirit Luck, that old fellow might really be able to break through the final shackles and step into that Realm."

"It's just a pity that..."

"He was sold by me!"

As Wang Mu spoke, the smile on his face grew even wider.

Zhao Changsheng, hearing Wang Mu's words, suddenly felt a jolt in his mind.

Sold?

Who did Wang Mu sell?

Zhao Changsheng's mind was a mess. He gazed at the dark world before him, eventually shifting his gaze to Wang Mu.

He didn't know why, but looking at Wang Mu, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but shiver.

He originally thought that coming with Wang Mu this time was just to stimulate the Profound Spirit Space and that would be the end of it, but he didn't expect Wang Mu's actions to be even more profound.

Could it be that he tricked a top expert from the Otherworldly Demon World?

If that were the case... wouldn't Wang Mu be a bit too terrifying?

Zhao Changsheng already felt that he couldn't see through Wang Mu, but as he spent more and more time by Wang Mu's side, this feeling grew even stronger.

This guy... seemed to be truly shrouded in a thin mist, one that he could never see through.

"Too terrifying!"

Zhao Changsheng shook his head, unable to help but exclaim.

Wang Mu heard this, glanced at Zhao Changsheng, and then sat directly on the snow, gazing at the dividing line between Yin Yang City and the Demonic Qi World.

"Now... let's take a look at the scenery that hasn't been seen for hundreds of years!"

Wang Mu spoke softly, the smile on his lips slowly spreading... On the city wall of Yin Yang City, Lin Xuan sat on the edge of the wall, his gaze calmly looking into the distance.

The Giant Demon Emperor stood at the edge of the Demonic Qi World, his enormous body completely enveloped by the extremely dense Devilish Qi, not extending out even half an inch.

As if fearing something.

"Counting the time, it should be nearing the end of the decisive battle, right?"

Lin Xuan glanced at his watch and murmured.

But just as he finished his murmur, Lin Xuan's expression changed slightly, and then his entire face was filled with a solemn expression.

He slowly looked towards the Demonic Qi World, a chilling glint emerging from the depths of his eyes.

"That old fellow, does he really want to use this method!!"

Lin Xuan's expression darkened slightly, as if he had thought of something, causing his face to become somewhat unpleasant at this moment.

And at this moment, within the Demonic Qi World, endless black Devilish Qi, like ink, began to surge wildly under the agitation of a certain power.

Vaguely, even the Heaven and Earth Power on the Great Xia Territory's side began to become restless.

As if stimulated by some force.

Lin Xuan's expression darkened slightly, staring intently at the deepest part of the Demonic Qi World.

And the Giant Demon Emperor, whose entire body was shrouded in Devilish Qi, also noticed it at this moment, turning around and looking towards the deepest part with some confusion.

Suddenly, the Giant Demon Emperor's pupils constricted slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.

He saw a hunched figure slowly emerging from the deepest part of the Demonic Qi World.

He trod upon the black tide, like a Dominator of the Demonic Qi World. Within his seemingly decrepit body, there was an extremely powerful and domineering force.

Rumble!!!

The newcomer trampled the Devilish Qi, stirring up waves.

A terrifying aura emanated from this person, causing the space around him to slightly twist.

It seemed as if it would break directly in the next moment, unable to withstand this terrifying pressure.

Crack!

The surrounding space, at this moment, cracked open with fissures.

The old man's appearance was extremely similar to that of a Human Race, only his skin was snow-white, like white jade. But at the center of the old man's brow, there was a brilliant jade stone, imprinted upon it.

The jade stone shimmered with waves of red light, causing the Devilish Qi of the entire world to begin to boil.

"My Emperor!"

The Giant Demon Emperor looked at the old man before him, his pupils constricting slightly, then spoke in a low voice. Even his tall body bent at this moment.

Like a subject bowing to his emperor.

The old man stood in the Demonic Qi World, and with every move, a kingly aura diffused around him.

His gaze slowly fell upon Yin Yang City in the distance, and he spoke calmly.

“Old friend, it’s time to come out and meet!”

His aged voice, however, was full of vigor.

The Giant Demon Emperor’s pupils slightly contracted.

Someone who could be called an old friend by this old man… He suddenly looked towards Yin Yang City and saw an equally aged figure appear in the sky above Yin Yang City.

However, that figure was surrounded by dense Sword Qi, making it impossible for even the Giant Demon Emperor, a Devil King-level expert, to discern the old man’s face.

“This is…”

A trace of doubt appeared in the Giant Demon Emperor’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of fear.

“Great Xia Sword Saint!!”

The Giant Demon Emperor’s heart trembled slightly.

He hadn't expected Kong Yunchang to also be in Yin Yang City.

Although those who ascended to the Saintly Position and Devil Kings were of the same Rank, there was a significant gap within the same Rank.

For example, between the Giant Demon Emperor and the Great Xia Sword Saint, despite both being in the same Realm, it would be too easy for the Great Xia Sword Saint to kill him.

Just like when the Ape Demon Emperor was forcibly dragged into the Great Xia Territory from a dimensional rift by that Martial Saint during the Iron City incident and beaten to death by the Martial Saint.

Facing the Great Xia Sword Saint, he was no different from the Ape Demon Emperor.

“Heh heh, the esteemed Sky Devil Emperor actually has the leisure to leave your old lair and visit my Great Xia!”

Kong Yunchang stepped through the Void Realm, taking one step that instantly brought him beside the Profound Spirit Space passage, his hands clasped behind his back, calmly looking at the old man in the Demonic Qi World.

Sky Devil Emperor!!

The true Emperor of the Sky Demon Royal Clan!

Of course, within the Sky Demon Royal Clan, the Sky Devil Emperor was also referred to as Old Ancestor; only the oldest and most powerful individual in the Sky Demon Royal Clan could hold this position.

The Otherworldly Demon World, Three Great Royal Clans.

And each Emperor of the Three Great Royal Clans was a being infinitely close to the Divine-Grade of a Devil God.

In fact, each of them possessed combat power comparable to the top three of the Ten Saints of Great Xia; in some circumstances, the Emperors of these Three Great Royal Clans were even stronger than the top three Ten Saints.

This was because of their Bloodline Power!

Bloodline Power, originating from Divine-Grade Devil God-level experts; even the top three of the Ten Saints of Great Xia, who were very close to this Realm, still had a significant gap when facing a Devil God.

Relying on their Bloodline Power, if the Emperors of the Three Great Royal Clans were to act, it often required two of the top three of the Ten Saints of Great Xia to jointly suppress them.

If it was just one… they might even be at a disadvantage!

The Sky Devil Emperor’s gaze casually swept over the Profound Spirit Space passage, and he smiled calmly: “This Profound Spirit Luck, this Emperor… will have it!”

The Sky Devil Emperor spoke with an aged voice, yet it carried an undeniable tone.

Kong Yunchang’s eyes narrowed slightly, his hands clasped behind his back, but around Kong Yunchang, Sword Qi tremors resonated.

“My Disciple is inside, so how could I possibly let you enter?”

“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to perish with you?”

Kong Yunchang sneered, and the sound of Sword Qi around him became even clearer.

Even between Heaven and Earth, a sharp edge suddenly erupted.

The Sky Devil Emperor was silent for a moment.

Although his combat power, when using Bloodline Power, surpassed Kong Yunchang’s, if the opponent truly fought to the death, even with Bloodline Power activated, he would not fare well, and might even be severely injured.

At that time… the other two Royal Clans of the Otherworldly Demon World would not stand idly by!

After a moment of contemplation, the Sky Devil Emperor said calmly: “This Emperor can promise not to harm the Prodigies of your Great Xia Human Clan; this Emperor only wants the Profound Spirit Luck!”

“For this… this Emperor can promise that within fifty years, the Sky Demon Royal Clan and all the races under its command will absolutely not attack Great Xia, how about that?!”

The Sky Devil Emperor said in a deep voice; this was his greatest concession.

For an expert of his Realm, Profound Spirit Luck was simply too important; if he could obtain Profound Spirit Luck, he might even Breakthroug the shackles and reach the Devil God Realm, restoring the glory of the Sky Demon Royal Clan!

For this, even if it meant not invading Great Xia, he would not hesitate.

Upon hearing this, Kong Yunchang burst out laughing: “Sky Devil Emperor, you’re treating us like fools!”

“The promise of an Otherworldly Demon… in the eyes of my Great Xia Human Clan, is worthless!”

“Once you obtain the Profound Spirit Luck and achieve Devil Godhood, wouldn’t my Great Xia Human Clan be at your mercy? Do you really think this old man is a three-year-old child?”

Kong Yunchang scoffed.

The Sky Devil Emperor was silent, then said calmly: “This Emperor merely wishes to obtain the Profound Spirit Luck in the simplest way, but if you truly wish to intervene… you may not be able to stop this Emperor!”

“This Emperor’s goodwill has already been extended; if you do not wish to accept this Emperor’s goodwill…”

An extremely oppressive aura diffused from the Sky Devil Emperor’s body, and the endless Demonic Qi behind him continuously vibrated, as if transforming into a ferocious, inky black tentacle, eager to reach out from the Demonic Qi World and descend upon Yin Yang City.

“This Emperor doesn’t mind slaughtering you all!!”

A sharp glint flashed across the Sky Devil Emperor’s eyes, carrying a tyrannical aura that suddenly erupted.

In an instant, endless Demonic Qi surged forward, wildly rushing towards the Profound Spirit Space passage.

Seeing this, Kong Yunchang’s expression slightly darkened.

He gently twirled his fingers, and wisps of Sword Qi instantly transformed into soaring Dragons, battling against the endless Demonic Qi.

Boom!

The two terrifying forces instantly collided, unleashing an extreme roar; under this extreme roar, even Heaven and Earth trembled continuously.

The surrounding snow mountains were impacted, and countless snow chunks continuously fell from the sky, forming a massive avalanche.

The battle between Saintly Position or Devil King-level experts… was enough to shake Heaven and Earth!

Even the Giant Demon Emperor, feeling the terrifying collision between the two, couldn’t help but take a step back.

On the city wall of Yin Yang City, Lin Xuan watched the collision between the two with a solemn expression.

Tap, tap, tap!

Suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded from behind Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan was startled, turned around, and saw Lan Linglong standing on the city wall with a slight smile.

Lan Linglong held a brand new book, but her gaze was fixed on the Demonic Qi World.

“Is it him?”

Lan Linglong’s voice was extremely gentle. Lin Xuan heard her, was silent for a moment, and glanced at the book in Lan Linglong’s hand.

“Why are you still carrying a book?”

Lan Linglong brushed a strand of hair from her earlobe and said softly: “I’ll have to sit here for ten years after all; with a book, time will pass faster!”

Lin Xuan’s heart trembled slightly, as if thousands of silver needles had pierced his heart, and a sour ache spread.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally bowed solemnly to Lan Linglong.

“Great Xia… owes you!”

“Lin, on behalf of Star Academy, on behalf of Great Xia, I thank you, young lady!”

Lan Linglong smiled and accepted Lin Xuan’s bow, then slowly shifted her gaze, once again falling upon the Sky Devil Emperor in the Demonic Qi World.

“When do we start?”

Lin Xuan stood up, looking at Kong Yunchang and the Sky Devil Emperor who were fighting.

“Soon, when the Sky Devil Emperor steps out of the Demonic Qi World, you can begin, young lady!”

“Mm!”

Lan Linglong softly hummed in acknowledgment, then said no more.

At this moment, in the Demonic Qi World, the Sky Devil Emperor watched Kong Yunchang blocking the Demonic Qi he controlled, and finally, an impatient expression appeared on his face as he took a step forward.

That step seemed to span thousands of miles; in an instant, the aged figure was already standing at the edge of the Demonic Qi World.

“Do you really think… this Emperor would fear your weak race?”
