Chapter 364: A World-Shaking Battle

Seeing the man in black ignoring him, the Butterfly Emperor questioned him again in a deep voice.

"Is the Human Emperor of Great Xia nothing more than a rat hiding its head and showing its tail?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. The Human Emperor of Great Xia is in the Human Emperor Hall. If you don't believe me, go see for yourself. Now, release the people," the mysterious man with his face covered in black cloth said coldly.

The Butterfly Emperor was so angry he laughed. What did he mean by "the person is in the Human Emperor Hall, if you don't believe me, go see for yourself"?

Did he mean he should break into the capital first, then fight his way all the way to the core of the capital, the Human Emperor Hall, to verify whether the Human Emperor was there?

"It seems that your Great Xia's Human Emperor not only passes down his strength from generation to generation, but even that thick skin is inherited as well!"

The Butterfly Emperor's body began to squirm in a grotesque manner.

"Since that's the case, today I'd like to see exactly how this generation's Great Xia Human Emperor compares to the last!"

Ink-colored, horrifying demonic Qi rose from the Butterfly Emperor's body; just feeling that aura from afar made Ye Lin feel a sense of dread.

The surrounding area instantly turned into a terrifying wasteland; ordinary job-changers would be wiped out directly by this land just by standing on it.

Facing this terrifying might, the mysterious man was not shocked, but instead stretched his wrists.

"I said it already, I am not the Human Emperor. If you keep spreading rumors, and it reaches the ears of the real Human Emperor, you will have to bear the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious man flipped his palm, and an ancient jade seal wreathed in chaotic aura appeared in his palm.

The moment the jade seal appeared, various strange phenomena emerged; a brilliant, world-shaking beam of light shot into the sky, sweeping majestically toward the demonic Qi released by the Butterfly Emperor and annihilating it directly.

"Human Emperor Demon-Suppressing Seal!"

The mysterious man shouted in anger, his black hair disheveled, his eyes flashing with cold electricity, as the Imperial Seal in his hand transformed into a stream of light and suppressed the Butterfly Emperor.

The Eternal Imperial Seal carried supreme power, growing larger and larger as it descended toward the Butterfly Emperor, finally pressing down like a giant mountain with an irresistible, magnificent heavenly might!

The demonic Qi around the Butterfly Emperor surged wildly, shooting into the sky in an attempt to push the Eternal Imperial Seal back.

But the moment the demonic Qi touched the Imperial Seal, it was like water droplets falling into a boiling pot of oil, instantly evaporated!

The Butterfly Emperor, who looked like a giant ball of meat, was suppressed directly beneath the Eternal Imperial Seal and vanished from sight!

By the time the Eternal Imperial Seal returned to its original size and back into the mysterious man's hand, the Butterfly Emperor's body had disappeared.

In its place was a shockingly large white cocoon, inside which it felt as if a powerful heart was contained, constantly emitting a thumping heartbeat.

"Go!"

The mysterious man rushed to Ye Lin's side, grabbed him, and prepared to leave immediately.

"The Great Xia Human Emperor comes to my Demon Realm alone; why are you in such a hurry to leave without staying a while longer?"

At this moment, the Demon Emperor who had been hiding in the darkness finally revealed himself!

He stepped out from the shadows, his body wreathed in dim purple light; every step he took was accompanied by the sound of low thunder, the surrounding space twisted by the powerful aura he emitted, and demonic Qi snaked out like spirit serpents.

A suit of black-gold battle armor fit his body perfectly, his purple eyes as deep as the night, staring straight at the mysterious man suspected to be the Human Emperor.

That gaze held both scrutiny and playfulness, but not a shred of fear.

"You really know how to find work for me; two Demon Emperors right off the bat."

The mysterious man glared at Ye Lin irritably.

Ye Lin gave a sheepish smile and didn't dare to chime in.

"Imperial Gold Spear, come!"

The Demon Emperor raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and a stream of light flew uncontrollably out of Ye Lin's Canglan Ring, heading straight for that Demon Emperor.

When the Demon Emperor's slender fingers grasped the Imperial Gold Spear, in an instant, the heavens and earth changed color; the patterns on the spear's body seemed to be completely activated, flowing with deep black light that echoed the dim purple light radiating from the Demon Emperor's armor.

At this moment, the Imperial Gold Spear seemed to have been infused with life; the spear body trembled incessantly, and the blood on the tip became even more vivid, as if it could pierce through everything in the world!

"Damn! Traitor!"

Ye Lin's face turned green; only then did he realize that when the Imperial Gold Spear was with him, it had been slacking off every single day!

The might of this Imperial Gold Spear in his hands versus in the Demon Emperor's hands was so different it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them two different weapons.

"Divine artifacts have spirits. The Imperial Gold Spear was originally my weapon; even if you obtained it, it could never recognize you as its master."

After retrieving the Imperial Gold Spear, the aura on the Demon Emperor rose to a higher level, faintly pressing down on Ye Lin until he couldn't breathe.

"Tsk, what does it matter if it recognizes me or not? I don't want its heart; isn't it enough that I got its body and enjoyed it?"

Ye Lin gave the Demon Emperor a provocative, punchable look, twisted his neck, and said.

"Your Imperial Gold Spear, I've tried it, it's very smooth~"

"When it was with me, I played with it carefully every day~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Emperor's face turned somewhat green; he didn't know why, but he faintly felt that the top of his own head was also turning green.

Even though it was just a weapon lost for a period of time, he felt as if he had been cuckolded.

"The Butterfly Emperor was right, you really do have a sharp tongue. Since that's the case, try the true power of the Imperial Gold Spear today!"

The Imperial Gold Spear in the Demon Emperor's hand slashed through the sky; wherever the spear tip passed, visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared incessantly, and one could even hear the wails of those who had died by the Imperial Gold Spear.

A terrifying power of destruction condensed upon the Imperial Gold Spear, as if even the stars above the nine heavens would fall under this strike.

Within that blood-red light, carrying darkness and ominousness, it could annihilate all life before it!

The mysterious man's expression also grew a bit more solemn; he lunged forward to block in front of Ye Lin, gathered brilliant golden light in both palms, and pushed them out violently!

The aura of the Imperial Way soared into the sky, turning into a golden pillar of light that collided fiercely with the Imperial Gold Spear thrust by the Demon Emperor in mid-air.

At this instant, the entire Demon Realm seemed to be torn apart; golden radiance and purple demonic Qi intertwined and entangled, emitting a shocking roar.

The mere shockwave of the collision made Ye Lin feel like he had died several times over, and he was blown away, but his eyes flashed with unprecedented excitement.

Is this the scene of the peak combatants of the Demon race and the Human race clashing?

It is not easy to see this sight; even the heads of the Five Great Clans might not necessarily be able to witness the scene of the Human Emperor battling a Demon Emperor with their own eyes.

The battle between the two became increasingly intense; every clash was accompanied by landslides and ground-splitting, and the surrounding space began to twist and shatter, revealing the deep, boundless void.

The Demon Emperor holding the Imperial Gold Spear let out a roar, demonic Qi boiling around him; every swing of the Imperial Gold Spear left pitch-black cracks in the void, as if it wanted to pierce through this entire world.

The mysterious man held the Eternal Imperial Seal, and every move was accompanied by the blooming of the Imperial Way's aura; his power was incomparably tyrannical.

Just as the two were locked in an inextricable battle, a faint, barely audible cracking sound rang out.

This movement was extremely weak, but it made both the mysterious man and the Demon Emperor stop their actions simultaneously and look at the large white cocoon!

The cracking sound came from the cocoon itself!
