Chapter 551: Divine Domain Formed, The Demon Venerable Appears

Dongfang Su wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; there was no fear in his eyes, only endless killing intent and a will to fight.

He was yearning—yearning to trade his own life for the lives of the ten Demon Emperors before him!

Even if he were to die without a complete corpse or bleed out on the spot, Dongfang Su did not care.

Clutching his blade and dragging his severely wounded body, he charged once more toward the remaining nine Demon Emperors.

A blade aura sufficient to slay Demon Emperors swept out, enveloping the nine Demon Emperors within it.

Demonic energy raged, and blade aura crisscrossed.

Space began to collapse in succession, revealing the pitch-black, boundless void.

Whether human or demon, no living soul dared to approach that battlefield; the mere shockwaves of the battle were enough to wipe them all out.

"Not good! Stop him quickly! This guy seems to have grasped a glimmer of the prototype of a Divine Domain while on the verge of death!"

From within the battlefield came the Butterfly Emperor's horrified roar, followed immediately by an even more violent surge of energy.

"As the first battle general of the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards, fighting for the Great Xia until my last drop of blood is shed is my destiny."

"My only regret is that in this lifetime, I failed to slaughter the entire demon race!"

Dongfang Su's faint sigh echoed.

Swish!

A flash of blade light streaked by.

Like brilliant fireworks blooming, it was the most radiant finale.

Everything fell into a state of stillness.

The nine Demon Emperors did not reappear, and neither did Dongfang Su.

A broken, charred, ancient battle blade fell, the divine charm on the blade having vanished without a trace.

The eyes of the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards turned red.

One of them stepped forward and carefully cradled the half-blade in their arms.

"Lord Dongfang... I am taking you... home."

Dongfang Su's death undoubtedly stirred the fighting spirit in everyone present to the greatest extent.

At this moment, everyone was desperate to fight the demon army before them to the bitter end!

Just as everyone thought all the Demon Emperors had died under Dongfang Su's blade, a colorful butterfly gently flapped its wings and flew out.

The Butterfly Emperor had reappeared.

His face was deathly pale; it was clear that Dongfang Su's blade from just moments ago still left him in lingering fear.

If not for his unique methods, he would likely have perished under Dongfang Su's blade just like the other Demon Emperors.

"That guy is dead. I want to see who else among you can stop me?"

Escaping death caused the Butterfly Emperor's expression to twist.

He was now in urgent need of a slaughter to calm his inner emotions!

The Butterfly Emperor raised his slender palm, killing intent flickering in the depths of his eyes.

Someone tried to block the Butterfly Emperor without fear of death, but before they could even get close, they were directly crushed by the fluttering colorful butterflies!

If a Demon Emperor were to unleash their full strength, it would be enough to turn the land into a river of blood.

"Death Butterfly Light!"

A brilliant, multicolored radiance swept out, aimed with monstrous killing intent at the people of Xianhecheng and the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards.

This was a strike of fury from a Demon Emperor, enough to sink a city in one blow.

But just as the Death Butterfly Light was about to descend, the brilliant, multicolored rays suddenly began to distort.

Distorting, deforming, dissolving, and annihilating, until they vanished completely.

It was as if an invisible giant beast had opened its maw and swallowed all the Death Butterfly Light the Butterfly Emperor had unleashed.

"Who is it?!"

The Butterfly Emperor's gaze grew solemn; to be able to block his Death Butterfly Light so easily, the newcomer was definitely not simple—likely a super powerhouse no weaker than Dongfang Su.

But no one responded to the Butterfly Emperor.

Everyone on the human side was also looking on in confusion, having no idea what had happened.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flew out from behind the Gate of Apocalypse, crossing time and space to strike directly at the Butterfly Emperor.

The Butterfly Emperor's expression changed wildly; this bolt of lightning looked unremarkable and lacked terrifying power, yet it made him feel a fatal threat!

"Eternal Protection of the Demon Butterfly!"

The Butterfly Emperor began to fight for his life, transforming directly into a giant butterfly.

He knew very well that if he did not fight with everything he had, he would surely die!

Boom!

The lightning landed on the Demon Butterfly, exploding into a brilliant flash of thunder.

The Butterfly Emperor transformed back into human form, but he had suffered heavy injuries, and his aura had completely withered.

A figure stepped out from behind the Gate of Apocalypse.

The Gate of Apocalypse was located within a valley, surrounded by vicious demonic creatures.

But the moment that figure appeared, those demonic creatures instantly became docile pets.

They all sensed a terrifying aura emanating from that figure.

That figure sped over, arriving at the northern battlefield in an instant.

Wherever he passed, the void distorted and collapsed, as if a god of destruction had descended upon the world.

"It's him!"

Lu Xuehai exclaimed, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

And that figure was naturally Ye Lin!

Because he had already mastered the prototype of a Divine Domain, he was the first among them to step into the Divine Domain realm.

Once the Chaos Divine Domain took shape, the fluctuations it emitted were so terrifying that it seemed everything in this world would distort and shatter upon contact with that domain.

Ye Lin stood like a Demon God, high above, looking down at the heavily wounded and dying Butterfly Emperor.

"Butterfly Emperor, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Looking at the Butterfly Emperor before him, Ye Lin felt a wave of emotion.

Once upon a time, the Butterfly Emperor was an invincible, powerful existence in his eyes.

Let alone being an enemy of the Butterfly Emperor, he would have thanked the heavens just to escape from the Butterfly Emperor's hands.

"You are... Ye Lin!"

The Butterfly Emperor's face changed wildly as he looked at Ye Lin in terror.

Ye Lin ignored the Butterfly Emperor and instead looked up toward the depths of the Demon Realm.

He could clearly sense that from the deepest part of the Demon Realm, a gaze had completely locked onto him.

Ye Lin raised his hand and gripped the Butterfly Emperor in his palm.

"For the sake of our acquaintance, I won't let your body and soul be destroyed."

Ye Lin activated Endless Devour; after finishing off the Butterfly Emperor, he tossed the soul body into the Human Emperor Flag.

"One VIP seat in the Human Emperor Flag. Ban Muming, come out and receive the guest."

Just as he finished off the Butterfly Emperor, a masked figure appeared silently in the sky.

The Demon Venerable possessed a monstrous aura, his demonic energy soaring to the heavens, causing the entire space to tremble.

A pair of deep purple eyes looked calmly at Ye Lin.

"You stepped into the Divine Domain realm later than I expected; I was even thinking of entering the Gate of Apocalypse to find you."

"So, you could have killed me while I hadn't grown yet—why give me time to grow?" Ye Lin asked the Demon Venerable the doubt in his heart.

"If you defeat me, you will naturally know the truth."

The Demon Venerable raised his hand, and a demonic sword appeared in his grasp.

There were no patterns on that sword; there was only an aura sharp to the extreme. Anyone whose strength had not reached the Three Realms would have their eyes blinded instantly just by looking at it from afar.

A suit of dark purple armor also slowly condensed at this moment, completely covering the Demon Venerable's body.

Both humans and demons tacitly stopped fighting at this moment.

They knew very well that this battle was the true, decisive one that would determine the outcome.

Compared to the confidence on the demon side, the human side appeared filled with worry.

For so many years, from the moment the Demon Venerable appeared until now, no one had ever seen him fight with his full strength.

He was like a heavenly god, looking down on everyone from on high, the terror of his combat power impossible to fathom.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Ye Lin's face as he muttered to himself.

"Letting me grow, yet unable to tell me the reason?"

"Hiss!"

Ye Lin suddenly gasped, an expression of terror uncontrollably appearing on his face.

He stared at the Demon Venerable, his body trembling with fear; he had thought of a terrifying possibility!

"I get it, you have a secret crush on me!"
