"Roar—" A painful howl erupted from the mouth of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. In the next moment, black light burst forth from its entire body like a geyser. Its thousand-meter-long figure shrank by nearly a third, but an overwhelming power simultaneously sent Tang San, Xu Anyu, and the Ferocious Dragon flying.
The Black Dragon's body was riddled with several sinister wounds, its massive frame trembling uncontrollably. Sacred power, light power, destructive power, and the two Qi of yin and yang that Tang San infused into its body were wreaking havoc. At this moment, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor only felt excruciating pain all over. Though its immense strength allowed it to suppress these invasive energies for now, expelling them entirely was not something that could be accomplished quickly.
The colossal Black Dragon swiftly shrank and, in the blink of an eye, transformed back into its human form. The intense agony twisted the expression of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. "Die, all of you must die! How dare you harm me? All of you will pay with your lives!"
The Bead of Misfortune flew into the sky, releasing grey streams of energy in an explosive wave. Simultaneously, a long knife emitting an evil aura appeared in the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's hand—a top-tier demon weapon!
Xu Anyu thrust his Dragon Lance forward, and light power surged wildly from his body.
"Leave the Bead of Misfortune to me," Tang San said in a deep voice.
"Alright!" Xu Anyu responded, his entire being erupting with light power.
Among all the Great Demon Emperors, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor ranked relatively lower. This was also why he had never been able to ascend as Dragon Master. Xu Anyu, as a Quasi Emperor, truly feared him little—especially with the Great Elder as his backing.
Xu Anyu slowly raised his Dragon Lance, his eyes becoming crystal clear in that instant. A faint golden radiance blossomed in the air, with a subtle, mysterious halo rising from below to meet him.
The Crystal Dragon accompanying Tang San gave him a sidelong glance and subtly nodded.
Layer upon layer of crystalline radiance transformed into peculiar halos, pouring into Xu Anyu's hands, instantly embedding his Light Armor with a crystalline sheen.
At this moment, he appeared as though he had merged entirely with the entirety of Crystal City.
Such a phenomenon, Tang San had once witnessed in Jiali City when the Peacock Demon King battled the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, utilizing the city's Power of Luck.
In this respect, the foremost city on the continent was not Crystal City but Jianmu City, currently under Tang San's control. Why was the Blue Gold Tree Clan coveted so much but Jianmu City still firmly retained its dominance? It was because the Tree Ancestor resided there, bolstering Jianmu City's incredible fortune.
Though Crystal City lacked a Tree Ancestor, as the largest city in Demon Monster Land, its deep ties with the Dragon Clan cultivated formidable energy over years of stewardship. At this moment, even the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor couldn't help but turn pale as Xu Anyu borrowed the city's power.
"You managed to secure the recognition of Crystal City?" When he said this, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's twisted expression betrayed the torment within his body, mingling jealousy, anger, and agony. Coupled with the backlash from the Bead of Misfortune, the Emperor's emotions spiraled out of control.
"Indeed. Today, I shall mete out punishment to you on behalf of the Dragon Clan!" Xu Anyu declared coldly, his gaze fixed on the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.
The radiant light dragon beneath him let out a prolonged dragon roar, resonating through the entirety of Crystal City. Xu Anyu's aura frantically surged upward, his figure flickering as he charged at the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.
The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor roared furiously, and atop his head, the Bead of Misfortune gathered grey streams like a cloud, pouring toward Xu Anyu.
But at this moment, an unusual white radiance suddenly shot forth, illuminating the Bead of Misfortune precisely.
Instantly, the Bead of Misfortune trembled violently. The Power of Misfortune it released disintegrated on the spot, failing to touch Xu Anyu.
"Clang—"
Xu Anyu's Dragon Lance and the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's demon weapon collided fiercely, unleashing gold and black explosions in the sky, transforming it into a peculiar two-tone tapestry. The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor failed to seize the advantage, as both were forced to retreat from the impact of the counterforces.
One reason was the backlash inflicted on the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor by the ineffective Bead of Misfortune. The other was that Xu Anyu, empowered by Crystal City, had temporarily elevated his cultivation to an Emperor's level. Additionally, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had already suffered injuries from the earlier surprise attack. As such, the balance tipped, resulting in a stalemate.
At this moment, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor regained some clarity. He understood now that his plans for the day were futile. With Xu Anyu still alive and the battleground serving as his opponent's domain, any further confrontation would likely result in catastrophic loss.
Holding back no longer, he growled angrily, "Xu Anyu, I came here kindly to check your injuries, and yet you dare offend an Emperor? Await the Ancestral Court's judgment! Let's retreat!"
With that, he made no effort to retrieve his subordinates, turning abruptly into a streak of black light and fleeing into the distance.
"Come and go as you please? What about your crimes against my clan's Third Elder?" A figure blocked his path.
Orange-golden sacred radiance manifested peculiar arcs in the air—leftward, then rightward—and within the distorted pulsation of these halos, they wrapped around the fleeing black light, restraining the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. No, more precisely, they bound him.
Even with his cultivation, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor found himself entirely immobilized. His gaze froze, filled with shock, as he stared at Jin Miaolin before him and abruptly recalled something.
"You—"
"Boom—" Before he could shout further, Xu Anyu, fully amplified by Crystal City's energy, charged forward with blinding force. The Dragon Lance, radiating dazzling gold, pierced straight through the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's body from behind.
"Pfft!" With a sickening sound, the lance tip protruded through his chest.
Tang San extended his hand, grabbing the lance tip precisely. Orange-golden sacred energy erupted violently, instantly enveloping the Dragon Lance in radiant light, completely silencing the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.
In that moment, higher above the skies, a scarlet beam descended from the heavens, as though cleaving the world in two.
Shrouded in sacred energy, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's soul trembled uncontrollably, desperately attempting to scream but unable to muster a single sound.
Xu Anyu swiftly withdrew his Dragon Lance, and within the next instant, a streak of blood-red light sliced through the air.
The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's gaze turned blank, while in the heavens, all traces of darkness unraveled into chaotic disarray.
Another figure appeared in the sky—a silver gown billowed gently, a blood-red longsword gleamed ominously, and flowing black hair drifted behind her. Was she not the champion of the Sovereign Battle, the foremost Quasi Emperor, Jiali City Lord, and Peacock Demon Clan Chief, Pretty Girl?
Even without Xu Anyu's decisive strike from behind, her blade unleashed judgment at the moment the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was restrained.
Judgment! Annihilation!
A streak of red light split from the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's forehead, extending downward. His body crumbled within this scarlet radiance, with even his sea of divine consciousness dissipating and vanishing into threads of black mist. seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Struck by the Asura God's Sword, not only the body but even the soul would face annihilation.
Xu Anyu's gaze turned slightly blank, struggling to comprehend the situation. Even now, he felt somewhat incredulous.
This wasn't just a victory!
Originally, he believed that merely driving the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor away would already count as a win. As the saying goes, "a gentleman's revenge may take ten years." His strength wasn't yet a match for the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, but once he ascended to Emperor status in the future, things would take a dramatic turn! At that point, delivering justice to this scoundrel could wait.
Unexpectedly, with the assistance of Jin Miaolin and Pretty Girl, vengeance arrived as swiftly as a storm overnight. The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, leader of the Darkness Dragon Clan, was summarily executed amidst Crystal City's heavens.
Slaying an Emperor—this was yet another instance of Emperor-slaying!
