Master of the Demon Emperor

One day?

Su Yie frowned slightly. What could he learn in just one day?

The most critical issue was that if he did not set out now, Li Huahun and Fang Tian Divine Fist would be executed by the Nameless Imperial Ancestor before the eyes of the powerhouses of the world. The time left for him was running out.

As if seeing through Su Yie's thoughts, the Silver-faced Man said with a light chuckle, "Don't worry, I'll send you to the Land of the Imperial Lineage tomorrow."

After speaking, he suddenly waved his sleeve, sweeping Su Yie away.

Without a sound or trace.

This display of Divine Skills left the Piercing Arm Monkey and Han Yuandao utterly in awe.

"What exactly is your foster father's name?"

Unable to contain himself, Han Yuandao asked Ren Wokuang, unable to imagine an existence more ancient than Ancestor Xia.

To this, Ren Wokuang replied with pride, "My foster father told me not to tell, so I won't."

Seeing his sly grin, the Piercing Arm Monkey almost resorted to violence.

Xiao Bai arrived at the edge of the cliff, looking around anxiously, deeply worried that something might have happened to Su Yie.

The three people from Ren Wokuang decided to rest right there and then since they didn't dare to take the Dragon Branch that lay nearby, as offending the Silver-faced Man was not a good idea.

Inside Emperor Su's Sect.

Overlord of Western Chu: How is the Demon Lord doing?

Piercing Arm Monkey: He's about to defy the heavens.

Venerable Xuanyuan: Lyu Wutian, how about finding an opportunity to spar with each other?

Elder Lord Qi Yang: How exactly is the Demon Lord going to defy the heavens?

Wux Qingyao: The Demon Lord has a fortunate presence blessed by the heavens, nothing bad will happen.

Ren Wokuang: Just wait and see, my Brother Su is about to dominate an era and step onto the path of the invincible!

...

Ren Wokuang and the Piercing Arm Monkey started boasting about Su Yie inside Emperor Su's Sect, but they were sensible and didn't mention Su Yie's Golden Crow Bloodline or the Dragon Branch.

Elsewhere.

Su Yie opened his eyes and found himself under the starry sky, standing on uneven ground riddled with craters, just like the surface of the Moon.

His pupils constricted and he quickly turned around, only to see the Silver-faced Man looking at him with a smile.

"Where is this?"

Su Yie asked, could it be that the Silver-faced Man was capable of traversing time and space?

The Silver-faced Man replied with a smile, "It's just a Little World. All the images above are illusions, only the ground beneath your feet is real."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Su Yie to speak before changing the subject. His eyes sharpened as he said, "A year here is but a day in the outside world. During this year, I will make you completely master the power of the Golden Crow. What follows is going to be very tough, so you need to be prepared."

Hearing this, Su Yie remained calm and said, "Bring it on!"

A year here, a day in the outside world?

He couldn't help but feel like he was in a mythological Heavenly Court.

A day in the heavens, a year on Earth.

With that thought, Su Yie suddenly charged at the Silver-faced Man, as fast as a startled swan, throwing a punch.

The Silver-faced Man raised his palm to block, and Su Yie's powerful force made his robe flutter.

"Strength and speed are not bad, but just these alone aren't enough."

The Silver-faced Man said with a smile, although there was a hint of severity in his grin.

With a boom!

Su Yie was blasted away without even seeing how the Silver-faced Man had struck.

But Su Yie had undergone a massive transformation and managed to steady himself after being sent flying five hundred meters, flipping over to land steadily and raising his right hand to summon the Zhou Wu Sword. The True Sunflame flared up immediately, enveloping the blade.

"Damn it! Are you trying to burn me alive?"

Feng Long suddenly cursed inside Su Yie's mind, but Su Yie paid him no mind and charged at the Silver-faced Man, brandishing the Zhou Wu Sword.

Su Yie's journey to becoming a powerful cultivator had officially begun!

...

In the central area of the Land of the Imperial Lineage.

Between the cities, there stood a lofty platform in the shape of a cone. Its diameter at the base reached ten thousand meters, with staircases winding upward. The summit was only a hundred meters wide, standing tall above the wilderness like a stone tower.

This was the Immortal Slaying Stage!

Constructed from the hardest rocks of the Land of the Imperial Lineage, the Immortal Slaying Stage towered for a thousand meters and had a total of nine thousand steps.

This platform was created by Emperor Ming Tian of the Emperor's body; later, it became the execution platform used by the Divine Physique Hall to execute their condemned prisoners.

Those who were sent to the Immortal Slaying Stage were renowned and influential figures in their own right.

Centered around the Immortal Slaying Stage, numerous Human Cultivators and Shape-Shifting Great Demons were scattered about, sitting in meditation, dispersed without gathering together.

"The execution of the Demon Lord's accomplices is drawing near; why hasn't the Demon Lord arrived?"

"Tsk, does the Demon Lord dare to come?"

"If the Demon Lord does not show up, he will be the butt of all jokes, especially after his boastful claims of demolishing the Divine Physique Hall!"

"However, to put it another way, because of the Demon Lord, the Divine Physique Hall has been gravely weakened, having lost a Vice Hall Master and more than twenty Saint Lords. One could say the Demon Lord has achieved quite a lot."

"Indeed, the demon of Mystical City is certainly bizarre."

Various discussions arose around the Immortal Slaying Stage; most were there to curry favor with the Divine Physique Hall and to see whether the Demon Lord dared to come.

The vast majority of beings believed that the Demon Lord would not dare to come, especially the Human Cultivators from the Land of the Imperial Lineage, given that the Nameless Imperial Ancestor was publicly acknowledged as the foremost power in the land.

Mu Rongdi and Mu Rongyu, who had once crossed paths with Su Yi, were also present.

"Brother, do you think the Demon Lord will come?"

Mu Rongyu asked Mu Rongdi, her pretty face full of worry.

In her mind, she couldn't help but picture Su Yi's calm demeanor, as if nothing could disturb his composure.

She had always admired the Demon Lord, and her admiration for him only grew when she had learned that Su Yi was the Demon Lord.

In her eyes, though Su Yi was not much older than herself, he was capable of shaking the Divine Physique Hall to its core, which was remarkable!

"It's better if he doesn't come. If he doesn't, it shows his ability to endure, and he will surely become a towering figure in the future. But if he doesn't show up, the name of the Demon Lord will fall from the pedestal, since he is famous for his defiance," Mu Rongdi shook his head, adding that he would be in agony if he were the Demon Lord.

A dilemma indeed.

Mu Rongyu nodded and sighed, "I both hope he comes and hope he doesn't."

The middle-aged man in black sitting behind them suddenly laughed and spoke, "We brought you here to foster exchanges with the geniuses of other sects and clans. Why are you only concerned with the Demon Lord?"

At these words, Mu Rongyu pouted, lacking interest.

Mu Rongdi, on the other hand, shook his head with a wry smile and stood up to walk over to a group of cultivators a hundred meters away.

In the time that followed, more beings continued to arrive.

For the Divine Physique Hall, this show of power also became an opportunity for interaction among various powers.

In their eyes, Li Huahun and Fang Tian Divine Fist were doomed.

If the Bailing Demon Lord wasn't foolish, he certainly wouldn't make his way here.

Therefore, they shifted their focus.

The next morning, at dawn.

Dozens of cultivators from the Divine Physique Hall approached from the horizon, among them Li Huahun and Fang Tian Divine Fist, both wearing tattered prison clothes.

Their hair was disheveled, and they were covered in wounds, with iron chains shackling their hands and feet, looking utterly disheveled.

"Damn it, push already, wait till I'm saved, I'll kill you all!"

Li Huahun cursed coldly, causing a nearby cultivator to kick him to the ground in anger.

Both he and Fang Tian Divine Fist had lost all their cultivation base and were completely powerless to fight back.

Li Huahun slowly climbed up from the ground, full of rage, but he controlled it well, showing an emotionless face as if devoid of all feelings.

"What's the point?"

Fang Tian Divine Fist let out a deep sigh, realizing Su Yi wouldn't come to save them without the Divine Shadow Legion.

Even if he did come, it would be to meet his death.

So deep down, he hoped Su Yi wouldn't come; what did it matter if he died?

Su Yi could avenge him in the future!

Where there's life, there's hope!
