The old man took a single step forward, and the sky instantly darkened. Above his head, a massive black vortex appeared, as if it could devour everything.
A thousand-zhang-long black wolf slowly emerged from the vortex. Its pitch-black pupils locked onto Su Tiantian, and its fang-filled maw exhaled clouds of black smoke toward her.
A cold glint flashed in Su Tiantian’s beautiful eyes as Samadhi True Fire coiled around her body. The color of her tail rapidly turned snow-white, and the number of tails grew from one to nine.
With a graceful wave of her hand, a flame barrier thousands of zhang wide rose before the black smoke. The devouring black smoke ignited upon contact with the barrier, unable to break through.
……
“Little junior brother, want some tea? I’ve brewed a fresh cup for you~”
Chu Feng, who had been watching the battle above with a tense expression, heard the gentle voice by his ear and realized that Senior Sister Yuyan wasn’t nervous at all.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, I’ll drink later.”
How could Chu Feng be in the mood for tea right now? What was happening before him could already be considered outright rebellion.
“Little junior brother, worrying won’t help anyway. That old fellow is indeed troublesome, but Su Tiantian isn’t someone to be underestimated either.”
Bai Yuyan said calmly, casually pushing the teacup toward him.
“Ah, true.”
Chu Feng sighed. He was only at the Third Rank now. Even a Demon King could easily kill him, let alone a battle between Demon Emperors.
He picked up the teacup and took a light sip, his eyes instantly lighting up.
Delicious!
Gulp gulp—
Chu Feng drained the cup in one go. It tasted just like milk tea. It was sweet and rich.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, what kind of tea is this? Why is it so sweet?”
“Don’t you like it, little junior brother?”
“No, no, it tastes great. I’m just curious what kind of tea leaves could brew something this sweet.”
Before this, aside from milk tea, Chu Feng had never had any tea brewed from leaves that tasted sweet.
Bai Yuyan lightly tapped her cherry lips and said with a smiling gaze, “Mm~ there’s no need for you to worry about that, little junior brother. As long as you think it tastes good, that’s all that matters.”
Huh? Chu Feng was puzzled. What exactly was Senior Sister Yuyan trying to say?
At that moment, he suddenly noticed a faint cherry-pink mark on the rim of the cup. That color… could it be!?
Seeing her junior brother’s expression, Bai Yuyan’s lips curled slightly upward. Even under the dim sky, her cherry lips still looked moist and alluring.
***
Su Tiantian glanced toward the “little troublemaker” behind her. Especially when she saw the intimate interaction between Bai Yuyan and him, her gaze turned slightly cold.
Better deal with this old fellow quickly.
“Relying on external means to forcibly extend your lifespan…your cultivation has already dissipated quite a bit. Compared to your peak, you’re far from impressive now,” Su Tiantian said calmly.
The old man frowned. He was full of wariness toward Su Tiantian but still replied, “Even if this old one is no longer at his peak, I am still more than qualified to stand as a match for an empress like you.”
Regarding the Ninth-Rank Great Demon King that Su Tiantian had slain a thousand years ago, he was aware of it. It had merely been a Ninth-Rank early-stage Great Demon King.
Su Tiantian showed no anger upon hearing the old man’s words. Instead, she smiled faintly. “Qualified? It seems you still haven’t recognized reality. Do you really think that I am merely a Demon Emperor?”
Boom!
Samadhi True Fire transformed into a huge lotus of flames. The lotus looked lifelike as its petals slowly unfurled.
“Let this emperor show you my true power, you old relic!”
As Su Tiantian’s voice fell, the fiery lotus shot into the sky. In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy began to fluctuate violently.
As the fiery lotus spun, the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly into it, and its glow grew ever brighter. Even space itself began to melt from the intense heat.
Buzz!
In the end, the lotus turned into a streak of light and shot straight toward the old man.
Where the lotus passed, everything was reduced to ashes.
Seeing this, the old man’s pupils shrank sharply. Facing the fiery lotus, he clearly felt the gap between himself and Su Tiantian.
He had originally thought that since Su Tiantian had been a Demon Emperor for less than five thousand years and the previous Demon Emperor had only begun to comprehend the Demon Ancestor realm around eight thousand years, though by then it had been too late, with little time left—
But he never expected that this generation’s Demon Emperor had already reached the level the previous one had at eight thousand years… no, perhaps even higher!
The old man’s expression shifted repeatedly as he did not dare to be careless. With a thought, he opened his mouth and spat out his demon core, which instantly expanded into a massive sphere, radiating a black light that seemed capable of devouring everything.
Whoosh!
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the fiery lotus and the demon core collided violently.
Boom!
True qi swept across heaven and earth, stirring up a terrifying storm of spiritual energy.
At the point of impact between the golden lotus and the demon core, terrifying spatial cracks continuously appeared.
Seeing the situation unfold, Su Tiantian curled her lips into a faint sneer and flipped her palm.
Boom!
The fiery lotus suddenly exploded, and the violent Samadhi True Fire blasted cracks across the surface of the demon core.
The old man’s previously overwhelming aura now deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly dissipating.
Shock spread across the faces of the Demon Kings present. Who could have imagined that this legendary Great Demon King of the wolf clan would be defeated by the Demon Emperor?
“Pwah!”
As the demon core shattered, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura continuing to fade.
“No… impossible! How could you have touched that level?!”
His voice was filled with unwillingness. Even the previous Demon Emperor, with such extraordinary talent, had failed to take that step before his death.
Su Tiantian stared at him coldly and said, “There is nothing impossible. What the previous Demon Emperor couldn’t achieve doesn’t mean I can’t.”
Another fiery lotus formed and shot straight toward the old man, clearly intending to finish him off.
Unwilling to accept this, the old man’s gaze suddenly shifted to the human youth. He remembered that this was the Demon Emperor’s male pet.
In the next moment, he gritted his teeth.
Boom!
Before the fiery lotus could reach him, his body suddenly exploded, the vast shockwave forcing the lotus back.
Within the cloud of blood mist, a soul form carrying the shattered demon core shot straight toward Chu Feng.
Not good!
Su Tiantian’s expression turned cold as she struck out with a palm, but it was blocked by the demon core.
“Stop him!” she shouted urgently.
Xiao Qing and Protector Hu both stepped forward, unleashing all the true energy within their bodies. But before the Ninth-Rank old man, it was utterly insignificant.
In an instant, the old man charged straight toward Chu Feng.
Bang!
The table exploded as Bai Yuyan made her move.
However, she was still far from being a match for a Ninth-Rank expert. Her body was locked in place by soul power, and she was ultimately flung aside.
“Senior Sister Yuyan!”
Chu Feng himself was in no better condition, his body completely unable to move.
This was truly the end. To the strong, a single second was enough to kill countless people.
“Human, if you must blame someone, blame Su Tiantian!”
The old man’s claw shot forward, about to pierce Chu Feng’s chest—
Buzz!
As if sensing Chu Feng’s crisis, the Heaven-Mending Stone within his dantian burst forth with five-colored light.
An ancient, desolate aura surged out from his body.
At the same time, a faint five-colored figure appeared behind him. It was ancient and powerful!
Thump, thump, thump!
At this moment, even those Demon Kings who had managed to resist Su Tiantian’s pressure earlier all dropped to their knees. Before this figure, they felt not only fear from the depths of their bloodline but also terror from their very souls, as if it were a fear rooted deep within their very genes.
What exactly is this?!
A shared question arose in the hearts of all the Demon Kings.
In Chu Feng’s eyes, he only saw that the old man who had looked fierce just moments ago was now filled with terror.
“Y-You are…!”
Before the old man could finish speaking, a streak of five-colored light pierced through his soul.
“Ah!”
His soul was mercilessly destroyed, then exploded with a loud bang.
The detonation of a Ninth-Rank expert’s soul was anything but trivial. The surrounding space collapsed instantly.
“H-Huh?! Wait, hold on!!!”
Chu Feng felt his body lift into the air, completely out of his control as the collapsing space began to pull him in.
“Little rascal!”
“Junior brother!”
With the old man’s soul destroyed, his demon core naturally shattered as well.
Su Tiantian broke free from the demon core’s entanglement, and the soul restraint pressing down on Bai Yuyan vanished. Both women rushed toward Chu Feng as fast as they could.
But they were still a step too late.
Chu Feng was swallowed into the collapsing space.
