Chapter 461: Ascension is a Lie

The Soul-Devouring Empress's complexion was complex.

Because when she was in the Departure Tomb Realm earlier, she had said the same thing to Ye Lin.

She slowly stood up, reached out, and directly pushed Ye Lin until he sat down on a giant rock to the side.

"I am the Empress of the Soul-Devouring Demon Beast clan; I don't like owing human favors."

The Soul-Devouring Empress slowly tied up her waterfall-like long hair, completely revealing that beautiful face that could hardly be seen with any flaws, as if she were a fairy who didn't eat the food of the mortal world.

Ye Lin was a bit stunned. The Soul-Devouring Empress's hair was pure deep purple, which instead set off her skin to be even fairer.

Soon Ye Lin widened his eyes, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

Until today, he truly understood the sentence girls say: "Hair tied up, there's me, no him."

Time passed bit by bit.

Countless deoxyribonucleic acids from Ye Lin, harboring longing for the future, embarked on the road to immortality.

It's a pity that what greeted them at the end of the immortal road was not the hope of ascending to immortality and being reborn as a human, but an endless sea of stomach acid.

The geniuses who rushed the fastest were scared pale by the scene before them, turning their heads and letting out desperate exclamations.

"Don't ascend... don't ascend... the immortal road is broken, ascension is a dead end, we will only be eaten as food. Ascension is a lie!"

Ye Lin looked at the sky with dull eyes. In a trance, he seemed to see the process of entropy increase in the universe.

The Soul-Devouring Empress slowly stood up, pursed her lips, and her waterfall-like long hair scattered down, covering her somewhat hot face.

Seeing the Soul-Devouring Empress wanting to leave, Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

"Leaving?"

Soul-Devouring Empress: "Yeah."

Ye Lin: "Where are you going?"

Soul-Devouring Empress: "Back to the Demon Realm."

Ye Lin: "And then?"

Soul-Devouring Empress: "Continue being a Demon Emperor."

Ye Lin: "Can you not be a Demon Emperor?"

Soul-Devouring Empress: "If I'm not a Demon Emperor, will you raise me?"

Seeing Ye Lin silent, the Soul-Devouring Empress left freely.

"Hey!"

Ye Lin suddenly called out to the Soul-Devouring Empress.

"What is it again?" The Soul-Devouring Empress stopped her steps.

"I'll raise you!"

Ye Lin's tone was very serious.

The Soul-Devouring Empress froze in place.

There was wind blowing, gently brushing her purple hair, crossing her delicate eyebrows and eyes. On that face that was beautiful beyond compare, a happy smile appeared.

"You should take care of yourself first, you fool."

The Soul-Devouring Empress turned and left, a few crystal-clear teardrops crossing her face, drifting in the wind.

At this moment, she suddenly hoped that she wasn't a high-and-mighty Demon Emperor, but an ordinary human.

The Human Clan and the Demon Clan, in the end, could only be enemies.

"Walk slowly, we will meet again soon."

Ye Lin watched the Soul-Devouring Empress leave without any intention of stopping her.

"Don't mess around... the Demon Realm is not as simple as you think. Do you really think the seven great Demon Emperors are the strongest combat power in the Demon Realm?"

The Soul-Devouring Empress's tone was very solemn.

"Those seven adults are just characters pushed to the front to do the dirty work. Anyone who dares to step into the Demon Realm will face a catastrophic disaster. A certain generation of Human Emperor from your Da Xia has already verified this matter before. Don't be stupid."

"Is that so? Then I'm even more interested in seeing it." A look of expectation flashed in Ye Lin's eyes.

If it were before, perhaps he would still have some misgivings, but now, the Eternal Balance had merged with him completely, and he was a true immortal body.

"Did you not understand what I said? I am not fear-mongering." The Soul-Devouring Empress frowned slightly.

"I understood." Ye Lin responded.

"Then why are you insisting on going to the Demon Realm? Who exactly is in the Demon Realm?" The Soul-Devouring Empress asked.

"If one day I can take down the entire Demon Realm, will I be qualified to take you home?" Ye Lin asked in return.

The Soul-Devouring Empress was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then cursed "madman" and turned to leave.

"The Demon Realm is really not as simple as you think. I've said all I can say; if you insist on seeking death, no one can stop you."

Until the Soul-Devouring Empress's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Ye Lin withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the Human Emperor Flag.

"Soul-Sacrificing Maiden, is it done?"

"It's done, Master. One of the Demon Emperors is already willing to become a main soul of the Human Emperor Flag." The Soul-Sacrificing Maiden said respectfully.

"Efficiency is fast."

Ye Lin revealed a satisfied smile and turned his gaze to this Demon Emperor.

Apart from being taller and having those conspicuous purple eyes, it was actually hard to see that the soul body before him came from the Demon Clan.

"Introduce yourself first." Ye Lin said.

"Yes... Master... My name is Saixijin, and I am the Empress of the Earth Spirit Demon clan, with the title Earth Spirit Demon Emperor." The soul body from the Demon Emperor trembled as it spoke.

"Your name is such a mouthful, from now on you'll be called Xiao Xi." Ye Lin considerately gave the other party a new name. 【4

"......"

"Yes, Master."

The Earth Spirit Demon Emperor lowered his head; when one is under another's roof, one must bow one's head.

"Little Xi, I ask you, where do the seven great Demon Emperors rank in terms of strength within the Demon Realm?" Ye Lin asked.

"There is a gap in strength among the seven great Demon Emperors. The strongest among them, the Profound Emperor, should rank within the top twenty in the Demon Realm," Little Xi answered truthfully.

"Hiss!"

Ye Lin felt a toothache; the strongest of the seven great Demon Emperors couldn't even make the top ten in the Demon Realm?

"Then what about the likes of the Butterfly Emperor and the Golden Emperor?"

"The Butterfly Emperor and the Golden Emperor should be outside the top fifty. Master, you may not know this, but the 'seven great Demon Emperors' is a title your human race came up with yourselves; there is no such designation within the Demon Clan."

"Those seven lords were pushed out to be responsible for farming the human race. Originally, the Profound Emperor was not among those seven spots, but it is rumored that he is not good at socializing and offended people, which is why he was pushed out."

After hearing Little Xi's explanation, Ye Lin's eyes held a hint of solemnity.

Although he had tried his best to overestimate the strength of the Demon Clan, their true strength was far more terrifying than he had anticipated.

No wonder, no wonder that even with the seven Origin Ancient Artifacts, the human race still suffered a crushing defeat in the first Great War of Humans and Demons, and several Origin Ancient Artifacts were even shattered directly.

However, this only made him more interested in the Demon Realm.

After inquiring about some more intelligence regarding the Demon Realm, Ye Lin already had a rough plan in his heart.

He cleaned up the scene and directly devoured the corpses of the two Demon Emperors; as for the other Demon Emperor who refused to surrender, he was thrown directly into the Human Emperor Flag to make up the numbers.

Ye Lin returned to Xianhecheng. At this time, the people of Xianhecheng were already lined up neatly, looking at Ye Lin with anticipation in their eyes.

Ye Lin understood well; he didn't say much, directly raising the Black Gold Supreme Edition of the Human Emperor Flag. The flag surface snapped in the wind, and the resentment soared into the sky.

"The time has come; today, we march!"
