Chapter 436: The Entire Nation Ascends

The Butterfly Emperor felt goosebumps rise all over his body, his scalp tingling.

How could a human be disgusting to this degree?

"I'll show you ****!"

The Butterfly Emperor reached out and gouged Ye Lin's eyeballs right out, then kicked him flying.

But Ye Lin was clearly stuck to him like glue; with a spatial jump, he returned to the Butterfly Emperor's side and immediately used the Necrotic Return to try and trap him.

A dark, greenish fire surged upward, and countless undead creatures crawled out from the ground.

But the Butterfly Emperor didn't even glance at those undead creatures; he pressed down on Ye Lin's head and crushed it with one hand.

Demonic Qi raged, grinding Ye Lin's head into powder.

With Ye Lin's head gone, the Necrotic Return collapsed on its own.

But the loss of his head did not affect Ye Lin's ability to continue attacking in the slightest; a blast of World-Ending Mad Thunder slammed directly into the Butterfly Emperor.

The Butterfly Emperor's eyes widened as the violent power of the thunder knocked him over.

If not for the sturdy physical body of the Demon race, this single strike alone would have left him severely wounded.

Even so, the Butterfly Emperor looked extremely disheveled at this moment, his crystalline purple hair standing straight up from the blast.

Ye Lin's head regenerated quickly.

"Lord Butterfly Emperor, let us become one!"

The look in Ye Lin's eyes as he gazed at the Butterfly Emperor was filled with greed, like an old bachelor who had traveled from ancient times to the modern day seeing a beauty in black silk suspenders for the first time.

The Butterfly Emperor was horrified by his gaze.

"You seem to have a serious mental illness!"

With a wave of his hand, countless colorful butterflies rushed toward Ye Lin, directly covering his entire body.

In an instant, Ye Lin felt his life force being continuously drained and gnawed away by those butterflies.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Ye Lin was sucked dry into a mummy.

Then, the Butterfly Emperor waved his hand again, and countless butterflies filled the sky, directly blocking the Human Emperor and the others who wanted to pursue.

When the butterflies dispersed, the Butterfly Emperor and the Soul-Sacrificing Goddess Mother Shenshan had already vanished.

The demonic Qi that had blotted out the sun also slowly receded at this moment, but everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

Everyone knew clearly that this was merely the calm before the storm.

"Return to Great Xia, send out notices inviting the monarchs of all human nations to the capital to discuss matters!"

The Human Emperor's gaze was cold; they had to prepare early so they wouldn't be caught off guard by the Demon race.

The main force left directly, with no intention of taking Ye Lin along; only Lord Dongfang Su remained behind alone.

"Where is the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron?" Lord Dongfang Su asked.

"The Bronze what cauldron?"

"The Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron."

"What Dragon Vein Cauldron?"

"The Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron."

"The Bronze Dragon Vein what?"

Clang!

A flash of blade light left its sheath.

Lord Dongfang Su had seen it very clearly: just now, after Ye Lin killed Tuo Dou, he had casually tucked the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron into his pocket.

"Oh! Brother Lord Dongfang, you really don't know how to take a joke. Wait a moment, I'll bring someone to you."

Under Lord Dongfang Su's puzzled gaze, Ye Lin carried out the heavily wounded Ou Ou Liechen.

After he had his clone rescue Ou Ou Liechen earlier, he had temporarily hidden him somewhere in Dongjing City; the most dangerous place was, in fact, the safest place.

"Ou Liechen... he's still alive..."

Lord Dongfang Su's breathing quickened. Looking at Ou Ou Liechen's miserable state, anger burned in his eyes, but there was also a trace of relief.

He had thought that Ou Ou Liechen and the others had all...

"Lord Lord Dongfang Su... I'm sorry... as the person in charge, I failed to complete the mission successfully..."

Although Ou Ou Liechen could not see, he could sense the terrifying blade Qi on Lord Dongfang Su.

Among everyone he had ever met, only Lord Dongfang Su possessed such a sharp aura.

"No need to say sorry, you have already done very well. Let's go, I'll take you... home!"

Lord Dongfang Su lowered his body and hoisted Ou Ou Liechen onto his back.

He looked deeply at Ye Lin, then spoke slowly. This time, Lord Dongfang Su's tone was clearly less stiff and carried a touch of human warmth.

"The Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron can be kept with you for now, but you must bring it back to Great Xia; it must never be allowed to drift outside again."

"Also, as for the remaining Sang people in Dongjing City, just kill them with one stroke. That idea of yours is too inhumane! If we truly start farming humans, we will be no different from the Demon race! Some things can be done, and some things cannot!"

Listening to Lord Dongfang Su's earnest advice, Ye Lin pulled out a long string of Buddhist prayer beads; except for one large bead, the rest had almost all turned black.

Ye Lin softly chanted a Buddhist name, his face wearing an expression of compassion for all living things.

"Aminos... oh, no, Amitabha! Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life! Donor Lord Dongfang Su, your killing intent is too heavy!"

"I originally intended to let all the people in this Dongjing City go; after all, committing such an act of destroying a nation truly offends the heavens!"

"But since Donor Lord Dongfang Su has spoken, then let's kill them all."

Lord Dongfang Su: "???"

Ye Lin's figure slowly rose into mid-air, overlooking Dongjing City below.

The hundreds of thousands of Sang people in Dongjing City also looked in terror at the figure in mid-air, who held prayer beads and had a Buddha halo behind his head, yet radiated sky-high baleful energy and howling, gloomy winds.

"Friends of the Sang nation, I am very sorry. Lord Dongfang Su is my direct superior, and I am merely following orders."

Having said that, Ye Lin sighed and waved the Human Emperor Flag with a helpless expression.

Ban Mu Ming led an army of 3.5 million soul bodies and charged toward Dongjing City!

Lord Dongfang Su pursed his lips, gripping his blade, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

To be honest, if he weren't carrying Ou Ou Liechen on his back, he would truly have the urge to slash Ye Lin right now.

Ye Lin wanted to kill them himself, so why did he have to find someone else to take the blame and the sin?

Lord Dongfang Su's face darkened, and with Ou Ou Liechen on his back, he turned and left. He shouldn't have said those few words to Ye Lin!

Inside Dongjing City, the army of soul bodies slaughtered every living thing like a plague of locusts.

Wails.

Pleas for mercy.

Cries for help.

Angry curses.

Imprecations.

All kinds of sounds were incessant.

The surviving Sang people cried out to heaven and earth, but since the Soul-Sacrificing Goddess and Mother Shenshan had already fled, who would come to save them?

Before their eyes, it had already turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; rivers of blood became a reality at this moment.

This slaughter lasted less than an hour, and the entire population of hundreds of thousands in Dongjing City completely vanished.

In their place, the Human Emperor Flag gained hundreds of thousands more in its soul-body army.

All the Sang citizens had entered their ideal utopia.

At this moment, everyone was equal, and everyone could attain eternal life.

The Sang nation, the entire country ascended!
