293: The Shadow Demon Emperor descends!

"Forget it, I know you're unwilling to cultivate steadily and methodically."

Since Bing Shuang, the Imperial Daughter awakened, she had traveled to many places and understood the current situation, especially recently, due to the breaking of the ancient seal and the rise of the Demon Race.

She knew in her heart how much Azure Water Xianjun hated the Demon Race. Now, seeing the Demon Race making a comeback and threatening to wreak havoc across the land, Azure Water Xianjun certainly couldn't sit still.

With this thought, Frost sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Do as you wish."

"Anyway... your decisions, I've never been able to change!"

"I'm leaving."

Azure Water Xianjun nodded, a flash of gratitude for Frost in his eyes, then turned and flew away.

From then on, he embarked on the path of devouring; essentially, wherever there were demons, his figure would be there... Daxia, Qinling Mountains.

This mountain range on the Divine Land is the dividing line between Daxia's north and south.

Since the great changes in heaven and earth, this dividing line has become particularly clear, but until now, apart from the opening of the Thunder Immortal Realm, nothing else major has happened in the Qinling Mountains.

Crack—

But on this day, a crisp sound erupted from the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and then waves of demonic energy shot up into the sky.

An ancient seal was hidden here, only to break today, releasing what was suppressed within.

"Hahaha..."

As more and more demonic energy surged, a wild voice erupted from within. The various members of the Demon Race who had emerged early immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting endlessly, "We respectfully welcome the Shadow Demon Emperor's revival!"

"Heh heh, not bad, you still have some filial piety!"

That wild voice sometimes echoed from where the seal broke, sometimes erupted behind a group of demons, and sometimes even came from the sky, almost omnipresent.

The demons seemed to have expected this and waited quietly.

Until a handsome young man appeared before them, a seventh-rank early-stage demon expert stepped forward and respectfully said, "Shadow Demon Emperor, you have been dormant for so long, you probably don't know the current situation. How about... I introduce it to you?"

"Hmm."

The young man called Shadow Demon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

He only lingered in place for a moment, his figure suddenly vanished, reappeared behind a group of demons, and even transformed into the shape of a bat, but his voice remained unchanged, "Speak, what has this world become?"

"Yes."

The seventh-rank early-stage demon expert recounted the changes in the situation from the breaking of the ancient seal to the present, and also selected several powerful individuals of this era to introduce to the Shadow Demon Emperor.

When he spoke of these contemporary powerhouses, he paused slightly before continuing, "Shadow Demon Emperor, besides that Willow God, who firmly guards the human capital, there is also a tiger demon."

"This tiger demon has long been widely rumored in this world. It is said that he is now an eighth-rank expert, unrivaled in this era, but our race has not yet verified this, so its authenticity is not certain."

"Besides him, there are Azure Water Xianjun and Bing Shuang, the Imperial Daughter. They also come from ancient times. Although they bear ill will towards our race, they will not actively protect humanity; they only rescue them casually when they see them."

"Therefore, if the Shadow Demon Emperor wishes to make a name for himself, he can directly bypass the few powerhouses mentioned just now and deal with other ants first."

Hearing this, the Shadow Demon Emperor asked in a deep voice, "You just said that fellow Blood Demon has also awakened, why isn't he here?"

"Replying to Shadow Demon Emperor, Lord Blood Demon is currently active in various sea areas and temporarily does not wish to concern himself with matters on land."

"Hmph!"

"That guy always makes himself bloody, completely lacking restraint."

"Never mind, let him be active in the sea. This Emperor doesn't like the smell of blood."

"Yes..."

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, the Shadow Demon Emperor laughed out loud again, his figure flickering rapidly, disappearing without a trace in less than a moment.

This seventh-rank early-stage demon expert knew that the Shadow Demon Emperor was a powerful individual among the ancient demons, capable of transforming into myriad forms, especially with his body able to travel freely through shadows.

It could be said that wherever there was a shadow, the Shadow Demon Emperor could appear.

With this thought, this seventh-rank early-stage demon expert couldn't help but feel a surge of envy, "The Shadow Demon Emperor can go wherever he wants, it's truly too carefree."

"If only I could be like the Shadow Demon Emperor someday..."

...Rumble.

Daxia, a certain location in the Northwest.

The originally clear sky suddenly had a large amount of demonic energy condensing into clouds, bringing endless darkness to this place.

Local residents were terrified by this, wondering which powerful enemy had arrived, but then heard countless laughs from all directions, "Hahaha, this place I casually chose is quite good."

"There are so many human ants here."

"This Emperor can have a full meal!"

"Hahaha..."

As the Shadow Demon Emperor's laughter erupted, the residents of this place were horrified to find that after a shadow merely flashed in the surrounding darkness, they completely lost consciousness.

In less than half an hour, this fortress city, which housed tens of thousands of people, was slaughtered clean by the Shadow Demon Emperor alone!

By the time nearby human fortresses received the news and arrived to investigate the situation, the perpetrator had long since departed.

In just three short days, tragedies occurred across Daxia. One fortress city after another was visited by demon experts, and after they left, not a single living person remained in the city!

This Shadow Demon Emperor, relying on his own power, plunged Daxia into a huge crisis as soon as he appeared... Central Plains District, Imperial Capital.

The Descendant of the Earth Mother had already learned of this matter and was filled with worry.

She leaned against the Willow God and said in a deep voice, "The name of the Shadow Demon Emperor has spread throughout Daxia, reaching the point where it stops children from crying at night."

"Willow God, can you stop him?"

The Descendant of the Earth Mother, observing the Shadow Demon Emperor's movements, knew that he might arrive at the Imperial Capital soon and was very worried.

The huge willow tree gently swayed its branches, and soon a willow branch drooped in front of the Descendant of the Earth Mother, swaying up and down.

Seeing this, the Descendant of the Earth Mother quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if you can stop him."

"But if that's the case, other parts of Daxia will be in danger."

The Descendant of the Earth Mother still looked troubled, "These past few days, I've been to various parts of Daxia to check the situation and found that apart from our Central Plains District, and Shu Land and Jiangnan District, most other places in Daxia have no power to resist the Shadow Demon Emperor."

"You say, can I win over Shu Land and Jiangnan District to my side to jointly fight against the Shadow Demon Emperor?"

This time, the Willow God did not respond, only a rustling sound continuously emanated.
