Chapter 1249

"You... since it has come to this! Then I might as well go all the way!"

"As long as I kill you first! Even if the Emperor becomes more wary of me, as long as the Emperor does not know my true purpose and identity, then... everything will be fine!"

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Demon realized that he only had one path to take, and that was to thoroughly behead Demon Lord Wan Qing.

"Kill me?!"

"Just by you?!"

Demon Lord Wan Qing gave a sneer, full of disdain.

"Power of the Heavenly Dao! Bestow upon my body!"

"I possess the Heavenly Dao, supreme and peerless!"

The Heavenly Demon let out a great shout, and the Great Dao of Demons stretched across the long sky, obscuring everything.

But within the Great Dao of Demons, the aura of the Heavenly Dao grew rapidly, supreme and exalted, cold and ruthless, as if ruling over everything and sealing all!

"This is... the power of the Heavenly Dao?!"

"You are... a remnant of the Heavenly Dao?!"

Seeing this scene, Demon Lord Wan Qing knew it was time for him to pretend to exclaim in shock.

"Hmm?! You... you don't know my true identity?!"

Hearing Demon Lord Wan Qing's exclamation, the Heavenly Demon was instantly dumbfounded.

Had he... done something wrong?!

"Then... then what did the Emperor ask you to test me for?!"

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Demon became somewhat unsettled.

Could it be that he had really overthought it?!

"The Emperor only asked me to test you!"

"The greatest suspicion was merely that you had defected to other myriad clans!"

"But I never expected that you were actually... a remnant of the Heavenly Dao?!"

Demon Lord Wan Qing pondered for a moment and said leisurely.

"You... damn you! Damn you!"

The Heavenly Demon was stunned, and in his daze, he could not help but become angry from shame.

"A lotus in the chaos!"

Just at this moment, Demon Lord Wan Qing pretended to erupt with full power, directly shattering the barrier formed by the Heavenly Demon's Heavenly Dao power and the Great Dao of Demons.

"Emperor Jun! Fellow Daoists!"

"The Heavenly Demon is a remnant of the Heavenly Dao! He wishes to subvert humanity... I take the Eye of the Heavenly Dao as witness!"

Demon Lord Wan Qing roared, threw out the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, and then transformed into a green light, charging toward the Heavenly Demon.

With a boom, a terrifying sound of explosion came. The Heavenly Demon Palace was instantly sent flying backward, and crackling sounds emerged as one crack after another appeared; even the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Demon Palace seemed to have suffered heavy damage.

At the same time, Demon Lord Wan Qing used the Great Dao of Demons to conceal his own aura, transformed into a green light, and plunged into the damaged Heavenly Demon Palace.

This was intentional by Demon Lord Wan Qing, using his own "death" to thoroughly confirm the Heavenly Demon's identity as a remnant of the Heavenly Dao.

After all, if it were only the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn't the Heavenly Demon be able to argue: wasn't this Eye of the Heavenly Dao originally Demon Lord Wan Qing's?!

If that were the case, then the Heavenly Demon and Demon Lord Wan Qing would fall into a dispute.

Furthermore, Demon Lord Wan Qing's true identity was Li Changsheng's demon clan avatar, which could not be exposed, so he could only pretend to self-destruct, leaving behind only a wisp of aura that merged into the broken Heavenly Demon Palace, so as not to attract the attention of the other demons.

Regardless, Emperor Jun was a Hunyuan-level existence and possessed treasures like the River Map and Luo Book.

Demon Lord Wan Qing could not guarantee that his identity would not be discovered by Emperor Jun.

"Damn you! Damn you! You... damn you!"

The Heavenly Demon was completely dumbfounded, filled with both unwillingness and terror.

He had not expected that Demon Lord Wan Qing would be so fierce, actually self-destructing just to pass on his true identity.

More importantly, once Demon Lord Wan Qing self-destructed, the Heavenly Demon had nothing left to say.

He did not believe that his identity as a remnant of the Heavenly Dao could be hidden from Emperor Jun, who possessed the River Map and Luo Book.

In fact, before Emperor Jun had attained the Hunyuan realm and possessed the River Map and Luo Book, the Heavenly Demon had already been lurking by Emperor Jun's side according to the plan of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming one of the eighteen ancient demons who founded the demon clan.

But now, Emperor Jun was one of the forty-nine Hunyuan, and he had the River Map and Luo Book on his person; if he hadn't been suspicious, that would be one thing, but once he was suspicious, the Heavenly Demon could not hide at all.

Hum!

Sure enough, within the demonic aura, a supreme will suddenly appeared.

The demonic aura filling the sky gathered, condensing into a supreme figure.

And this supreme figure was not Emperor Jun's true self, but a demonic aura avatar of Emperor Jun condensed from the demonic aura filling the sky.

"Heavenly Demon! You are actually... a remnant of the Heavenly Dao?!"

Emperor Jun's demonic aura avatar stared fixedly at the Heavenly Demon, filled with both shock and... disbelief.
