226: Chapter 226 One-hit kill?

Facing the Demon Sovereign's inquiry, the Lord of the Abyss Cave could not help but let out a sinister "jie jie jie" laugh.

"Who do you say I am?"

Hearing the tone of the Lord of the Abyss Cave, how could the Demon Sovereign not guess? His expression suddenly turned ugly.

"In that case, you must be the so-called Lord of the Abyss Cave."

After saying that, the Demon Sovereign summoned his immortal emperor artifact and took the initiative to attack the opponent.

After all, the Lord of the Abyss Cave was a legendary existence. Facing the Lord of the Abyss Cave, all he could do was strike first to gain the advantage.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, even the earliest strike would be of no avail.

With a mere lift of his hand, the Lord of the Abyss Cave released a terrifying pressure that suddenly descended upon the Demon Sovereign, rendering him unable to move.

"What!"

The Demon Sovereign froze on the spot, his face filled with shock. He tried his best to move, but he was completely immobilized.

At this moment, his heart was filled with utter despair. Originally, he thought that no matter how weak he was, he could at least exchange two or three moves with the Lord of the Abyss Cave. However, he never expected that the opponent wouldn't even need to lift a finger, using only pressure to render him immobile.

Is this the gap between a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and a true Immortal Emperor?

"Interesting. Even after knowing my identity, you still thought of attacking me?"

"Now, I will give you a chance. Acknowledge me as your master, or else—die!"

The Lord of the Abyss Cave looked toward the Demon Sovereign, his face full of amusement.

Clearly, he saw the shadow of the Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable in the Demon Sovereign.

Unfortunately, in order to break the seal as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to kill the Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable with a heavy heart.

After all, compared to the Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable, he was more interested in the body of the Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

In the Lord of the Abyss Cave's view, since the Demon Sovereign already knew his identity and the gap between them, he had no choice but to surrender.

What he didn't expect was that even after knowing their disparity, the Demon Sovereign didn't have the slightest thought of admitting defeat. Instead, he looked at the Lord of the Abyss Cave and roared.

"In your dreams! Your Majesty will never let you achieve your goal!"

The Demon Sovereign spoke while enduring the pressure from the Lord of the Abyss Cave.

Hearing the Demon Sovereign's words, the Lord of the Abyss Cave's interest was piqued.

"How interesting. Does the Your Majesty you speak of refer to Gu Jixiao? In that case, I'll let you see with your own eyes how the Your Majesty you speak of dies."

In the Lord of the Abyss Cave's view, he had been out of the Abyss Cave for so long, yet Gu Jixiao still hadn't appeared. If that wasn't fear, what was it?

Once I find him, I'll kill him.

As for the Demon Sovereign before him, he didn't plan on killing him too quickly. Wouldn't it be a delight to keep him alive to witness Gu Jixiao's death?

Just then, a voice spread throughout the entire Void Realm.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

Hearing this voice, the Demon Sovereign rejoiced in his heart, simply because he recognized it. Who else could it be but Your Majesty?

In the next moment, Gu Jixiao appeared before him. With a wave of his hand, he erased the pressure the Lord of the Abyss Cave had placed on him.

The moment he saw Gu Jixiao, a deep sense of security filled his heart.

"Your Majesty! You're finally here! The one in front of you is the Lord of the Abyss Cave, you must be careful!"

The Demon Sovereign spoke quickly. When he looked at the Lord of the Abyss Cave again, his eyes were filled with deep wariness.

However, unlike the Demon Sovereign's wariness, Gu Jixiao could only be described as refreshed. His gaze toward the Lord of the Abyss Cave was merely one of slight scrutiny, without much wariness.

Looking back at the Lord of the Abyss Cave, the moment Gu Jixiao appeared, his entire body froze on the spot. Then, a profound fear welled up from the depths of his heart.

"It's you!"

Hearing the Lord of the Abyss Cave's words, Gu Jixiao was startled and then became somewhat puzzled.

It seemed the Lord of the Abyss Cave had mistaken him for someone else?

Unfortunately, he was Gu Jixiao, and he had always been Gu Jixiao.

"You must be the Lord of the Abyss Cave then. Next, let me test how powerful your strength really is."

After saying that, Gu Jixiao very decisively summoned his immortal emperor artifact.

The immortal emperor artifact in his hand transformed into a longsword. As Gu Jixiao swung it, an incredibly sharp Sword Qi burst forth from the immortal emperor artifact and charged toward the Lord of the Abyss Cave.

Behind him, feeling the power of this sword strike, the Demon Sovereign's pupils suddenly contracted, and he spoke with great excitement.

"Your Majesty, have you stepped into that Realm?"

"Yes, I've stepped into that Realm by chance."

Gu Jixiao didn't deny it and nodded.

A full twenty years, plus the support of the System, it would be difficult not to step into the Immortal Emperor Realm.

On the opposite side, the Lord of the Abyss Cave's expression suddenly changed when he saw the sword strike from Gu Jixiao.

Because the power he felt from this sword strike far exceeded his own.

"What!"

"We are both Immortal Emperors, why are you stronger than me!"

"Chaos, I refuse to accept this!"

With that, the Lord of the Abyss Cave was struck by the sword, and in an instant, his body perished and his Dao vanished.

Behind him, seeing this scene, the Demon Sovereign was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.

Wait, instantly killed by just one sword?

Wasn't the Lord of the Abyss Cave an existence in the Immortal Emperor Realm?

Didn't Your Majesty also just step into the Immortal Emperor Realm? Why is he so powerful, so much stronger than the Lord of the Abyss Cave?
