Chapter 231 - 195: The Fall of the Demon Emperor

The Demon Emperor gazed at the spear slowly forming in the sky, his face displaying a solemn expression.

He knew the power of the Great Formation of the Entire Sky better than anyone else, and it was clear that this formation had been optimized in the hands of the Heavenly Court.

Such power, even he dared not take lightly, for it was indeed capable of killing him.

In that moment, all of the Demon Emperor’s incarnations merged into a beam of light, instantly fusing together, and a new figure slowly emerged from the brilliant light.

His face was covered with a mysterious mask adorned with intricate patterns, his aura profound as the ocean, donned in a purple ceremonial dress and wearing a Purple Gold Crown, with six indistinct figures appearing behind him.

Just standing there in the void made one feel an oppressive sensation.

And the moment he appeared, Heaven and Earth celebrated; surrounding him were phantom images of frolicking demon beasts. In the air fluttered the figures of Butterfly Demons and Tree Demon Spirits with wings, and above his head emerged a vast palace phantom.

This was the Demon Emperor, once a rival for supremacy against the Jade Emperor, and a contender for the title of Master of Heaven and Earth. Had it not been for the Jade Emperor’s emergence, perhaps he would now be seated in the Lingxiao Treasured Palace.

It was for this reason that his appearance triggered such phenomena in Heaven and Earth.

This phenomenon successfully weakened the brilliant starlight in the sky, causing the spear that was about to form to also dim.

In the Nine Heavens above, the Jade Emperor sat in the Lingxiao Treasured Palace, cradling his head with one hand, gently observing the Demon Emperor’s movements with a smile emerging on his face.

With just a gentle point, celestial music filled the air, Golden Lotuses covered the ground, and heavenly maidens scattered flowers.

The Jade Emperor, using his position as the Master of the Three Realms, successfully suppressed the Demon Emperor, causing his phenomenon to completely dissipate.

At the same time, the terrifying spear of starlight was completed and shot towards the Demon Emperor.

A fearsome aura of destruction immediately filled Heaven and Earth, with the Demon Emperor being at the center of this destruction. He looked steadfastly at the approaching spear.

Slowly, he extended his finger and gently tapped the tip of the spear, and the world seemed to quieten in that moment.

In the eyes of all living beings, time seemed to halt, with only the scene of the Demon Emperor touching the silver spear playing out.

Crack—a crisp sound echoed in the ears of all beings, signifying something breaking.

In full view of everyone, cracks began to appear at the tip of the silver spear, the source of that breaking sound.

Managing to intercept such a terrifying blow indeed left people astounded.

"Impossible!" Black Robe said in disbelief.

The Demon Emperor had become so powerful that Black Robe’s heart was instantly filled with fear, wondering what he would do if the Demon Emperor came to collect a debt from him.

His heart began to fluctuate violently, and tempting voices reached his ears, seemingly urging him to step into the dark abyss.

The Green Flood Dragon, sharply sensing his aura change, knew that this was a sign of an unstable Daoist heart about to descend into madness. He quickly slapped the top of Black Robe’s head with his palm and loudly shouted, "Wake up now!"

This strike successfully brought Black Robe out of his previous state. In an instant, he was drenched in sweat. It’s important to note that at their level, they typically never sweat under normal circumstances.

Looking around at the familiar surroundings, he gratefully said to the Green Flood Dragon, "Old pal, I owe you big today; otherwise, I would have died here."

Green Flood Dragon stared at his somewhat frail face before he finally said, "I already told you, your cultivation technique isn’t right. If you don’t pay attention, you’re very likely to fall into demonic possession."

Black Robe touched the sweat on his forehead before slowly saying, "It seems indeed that I must find a solution."

The two of them felt fear, little did they know that the most terrified among them was Marshal Tianpeng, Yin Qi, standing beside them.

Previously filled with confidence, he had believed that this time he would completely eradicate the Demon Emperor here and then he would become famous across the Three Realms. But now, the Demon Emperor remained unharmed, while instead the silver spear had shattered.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his previous composure, his face turning deathly pale as he looked somewhat fearfully in the direction of the Demon Emperor.

The silver spear continued to be destroyed, intensifying in sound as the terrible spear formed of stardust gradually dispersed.

Meanwhile, the Demon Emperor underwent a change as well; faint light began to emanate from his fingertips, followed by his fingers starting to turn to ashes.

It turned out he was not unharmed; rather, the terrible spear had utterly destroyed his body.

"It’s after all his great formation left behind; his strength is indeed extraordinary," the Demon Emperor murmured softly as he looked at his hand gradually turning to ashes.

The face of that old friend flashed through his mind, one of his few true friends in the Three Realms.

The speed of destruction accelerated, yet the Demon Emperor gently smiled, seemingly not fearful of death at all.

Seeing this scene, Yin Qi’s face revealed ecstatic joy, yet he quickly suppressed it with his willpower. He was terrified that the Demon Emperor’s final counterattack might kill him.

However, the Demon Emperor did not do so. Instead, he looked toward the lands of Luzhou in the North and softly said, "Such a beautiful land, such a wonderful race, how can they be enslaved by others."

With those words, his body transformed into a brilliant glow that spread across the Mortal World.

This scene looked as if the Milky Way was falling from the Nine Heavens, all the monsters watching amazed at such a beautiful and magical moment.

Some monsters reached out to touch the dancing brilliance; to their astonishment, they found that some of their hidden injuries somehow healed miraculously.

Overwhelmed with shock, he knelt down, grateful for this divine gift from the heavens.

Upon seeing this, some monsters burst into tears, having waited countless years for their king, who upon his return fell once again. He transformed his body into nutrients for the land he loved, nourishing the land and the people who live upon it.

But for these monsters, they did not desire such a gift; they only wished for their king to come and lead them, to bring back the glorious days of old.

However, contrary to their wishes, the Demon Emperor ultimately met his death, turning into a glow that spread across the Mortal World under everyone’s astonished gazes.

"Father, His Majesty?"

"His Majesty will be fine, he will be fine," the old man murmured to himself, but the incessant tears seemed to tell the real story.

Black Robe and Green Flood Dragon watched this scene wide-eyed, their faces simultaneously showing a look of astonishment.

Who could have thought that a formation from the Demon Court could actually kill the Demon Emperor? Even though his body was still incomplete, after all, he was the legendary Demon Emperor.

At this moment, it felt as if they were dreaming; Black Robe even fiercely slapped himself.
