Master of the Demon Emperor

Under the moonlight, atop the mountain peak, the towering figure roared furiously at Su Yie and his army of a million, with a bloody wind sweeping in and murderous intent soaring to the skies.

Su Yie frowned slightly. The opponent's aura far surpassed the Realm of Taoist Fruition. Could it be a subordinate of the Sovereign of the Nether Sky?

The Three Dynasties would probably not send anyone over, given that the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition was still underway.

Han Yuandao calculated with his fingers and then shouted loudly, "The force method of Huang You, Cheng Mobai!"

Huang You?

Cheng Mobai?

Su Yie's frown deepened. Could this be a new power?

He certainly hadn't offended Huang You.

"Huang You, a power from the edge of the Eastern Lands, is said to have a connection to the Nine Hells of the Yellow Springs. Huang You has eighteen techniques, roaming the Human Realm, collecting the souls of ferocious ghosts, and neither Human and Demon Clans dare to provoke them lightly."

Tang Qingtian suddenly appeared beside Su Yie, musing.

The Nine Hells of the Yellow Springs, eighteen techniques!

Su Yie's heart sank slightly, as he pondered where he could have possibly offended Huang You.

"Sir, what grievance does our Demon Lord have with you?"

Xia Tianyi pulled out his twin swords from his waist and asked loudly, ready for battle at any moment.

Cheng Mobai, shrouded in the night, was indiscernible in appearance, but his angry roar could be heard, "Slay all Exotic People and return peace to the Human Realm!"

Having said that, he leaped into the air, shattering the mountain beneath his feet.

Xia Tianyi moved as well.

With twin swords in hand, he feared nothing in the world!

Clang—

The collision between the treasured sword and the giant hammer unleashed a terrifying explosive force, ravaging all directions of heaven and earth.

The fierce wind blew many Demon Soldiers off their feet, not to mention the ordinary humans.

The two began to fight fiercely in the sky, with sword lights flashing, piercing the dark night.

"Continue to advance!"

Su Yie ordered, seeing the situation, Xia Tianyi was not likely to lose.

Once Xia Tianyi defeated Cheng Mobai, the great army wouldn't have progressed much further.

Suddenly, Li Huahun leaped up to support Xia Tianyi.

Seeing this, Ren Wolang also soared into the sky.

Su Yie shook his head and smiled. With these two brothers in support, the battle was even more secure.

The million-strong army, seeing the overwhelming power of Xia Tianyi and the brothers, was all invigorated. With subordinates of the Demon Lord so powerful, how could they worry about failing to establish the Demon Nation?

Their morale boosted, the great army continued its advance.

Before long, Cheng Mobai was struck down by Li Huahun's punch, crashing into the earth and kicking up clouds of dust.

Ren Wolang's figure spiraled down like a descending sharp sword, causing the land to shake violently.

Cheng Mobai was defeated!

The whole process was quick, at least quicker than Su Yie and the million-strong army had expected.

Soon after, Li Huahun flew over, carrying a hulking giant, followed by Xia Tianyi and Ren Wolang.

With a thunderous crash!

Cheng Mobai was thrown before Su Yie, startling the Crimson Flame Lion King into shuddering.

Many Demon Soldiers and humans all looked on, but the great army did not stop, instead, it continued forward.

Su Yie sized up Cheng Mobai, seeing his humanoid shape but demon-like face, with blue skin and sharp fangs, his muscular body making his animal skin clothes bulge out, incredibly strong.

At that moment, Cheng Mobai was covered in blood, gasping only on exhalations, with no inhalations.

"Who sent you?"

Su Yie asked coldly, stepping on Cheng Mobai as he spoke, his immense strength causing Cheng Mobai to spurt blood from his mouth.

Cheng Mobai remained silent with a grim face.

Su Yie raised his right hand, and the True Sunflame suddenly ignited, scaring Li Huahun, Xia Tianyi, and Ren Wolang into retreating.

True Sunflame's temperature was terrifying, even standing beside Su Yie they felt a burning pain on their faces, and it was hard to imagine the agony of being enveloped by the True Sunflame.

Upon seeing the True Sunflame, Cheng Mobai shuddered and quickly said, "Your origins as Exotic People are unclear, naturally, our master of Huang You wants to eradicate you!"

"Oh? You from Nine Netherworlds are the Savior?"

Su Yie asked coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes that made Cheng Mobai shiver. He replied, "It's not just us from the Nine Netherworlds, other powers from the Eastern Lands share this attitude too."

Visitors from beyond the heavens, most bring misfortune!

Su Yie pondered, "From now on, you must protect us, or I will make you wish you were dead using the True Sunflame!"

"Just kill me!"

"You only need to protect us for one journey, and then you'll be let go. Are you sure you choose death?"

"Then rest assured, with me here, who would dare to kill you?"

"Hmm."

Afterwards, Su Yie handed Cheng Mobai over to Ren Wolang to guard.

With Li Huahun, Ren Wolang, and Xia Tianyi supervising, Cheng Mobai didn't dare to make any rash moves.

As long as he wanted to live, he wouldn't act impulsively.

This way, the incident instead boosted the confidence of the million-strong army immensely.

It seemed like nothing could stop their advance.

Su Yie returned to Ren Wokuang's Giant Gourd to begin consuming the Golden Core of Sun Qitian.

As soon as the Golden Core entered his body, the demonic power within him instantly boiled over.

Endless spiritual energy gathered from all directions, funneling into him.

Ren Wokuang, who had been cultivating in front of the Giant Gourd, opened his eyes and turned back in astonishment, "Brother Su, what did you eat?"

"Instant Ascension Pill!"

Su Yie replied, the name fabricated on the spot to avoid further questioning from Ren Wokuang.

Ren Wokuang became even more excited and asked, "Are you going to become an immortal?"

"Hmm."

Su Yie replied indifferently. Was this guy feigning stupidity or truly foolish?

"Holy crap! Brother Su is going to become an immortal!"

Suddenly, Ren Wokuang stood up and shouted loudly, startling the million-strong army into looking up.

Su Yie was instantly furious. If it weren't for the medicinal power of the Golden Core rampaging through his body, he would've given Ren Wokuang a good thrashing.

Just then, Li Huahun flew over, slapped Ren Wokuang down on the Giant Gourd, and made him lie there like a dead dog.

No one understood Su Yie better than Li Huahun.

…

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

The Three Dynasties' Saint Competition was coming to an end, and the infighting within the Seven Dynasties became increasingly fierce.

That day, at noon.

Su Yie led his army to the southern part of Bailing Territory, about to leave the land.

Xiwan City was situated to the south of Bailing Territory, hence the million-strong army managed to reach in five days.

In front were soldiers from Great Xia waiting, numerous enough to be several dozen, all with cultivation above the Astral Projection Realm.

"The Bailing Demon Lord has come!"

"What's that? Why are there so many monsters?"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Wait! Observe the situation first!"

The Great Xia Soldiers immediately stood up in formation, ready to block the march of Su Yie's million-strong army.

At the forefront of the army, beside Xia Tianyi, Cheng Mobai suddenly roared, "Scram!"

His voice was so domineering, coupled with his imposing figure like a Demon God, that the Great Xia Soldiers shuddered, their complexions turning unsightly.

They had also heard of the recent deeds of the Bailing Demon Lord; even the Sovereign of the Nether Sky had been defeated at his feet. Now he had subdued a mysterious powerful being, which was simply inconceivable.

Under the leadership of Xia Tianyi and Cheng Mobai, the Great Xia Soldiers eventually dared not block the way, allowing the great army to depart.

Su Yie continued to cultivate on the Giant Gourd, using Sun Qitian's Golden Core. He had already broken through to the Late Stage of the Astral Projection Realm, and was very close to Perfection of this realm. Moreover, his physical strength had reached the Dragon's Strength of two thousand five hundred.

This made Li Huahun, Ren Wokuang, and others very curious: what exactly had he consumed? The effects of the Pill were just too overpowering!
