Chapter 242 : Eliminating the Root
With his precious daughter in the hands of these human cultivators, the Beast King couldn't fight. He could only negotiate a truce first.
After Chu Sang's persuasive words, the Gold Beast King hesitated only briefly before being successfully won over.
What else could he do if not won over?
He couldn't continue fighting with these human cultivators, could he?
Since his daughter chose to run off with these human cultivators, he had no choice but to follow her.
In the subsequent battle, the Gold Beast King deliberately let them through. Chu Sang led the other sect disciples to find a breakthrough point, escaping to the Central Domain to launch a counterattack against the Demon Emperor!
They finally saw what the legendary Divine Decree actually was.
Ten thousand meters high in the sky, under the scorching sun, a rolled-up scroll floated above this continent. Below were thousands upon thousands of demon beasts, various forces locked in endless battle, along with the Demon Emperor and the great Beast Kings. The scroll, like a spell, enticed all living beings, causing them to fight bloody battles in an attempt to seize it.
Chu Sang glanced over there, frowning slightly. She felt that the expressions of these demon beasts were somewhat off... far too off... They were excessively frenzied. Could it be that the power of this Divine Decree could make them lose their reason?
What was the upper realm trying to do?
This Divine Decree looked suspiciously like Pandora's box.
Their large, conspicuous group, making no attempt to conceal their movements, was quickly noticed by the demon beasts. The Demon Emperor also saw these uninvited guests. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, followed by a contemptuous cold smile at the lambs entering the wolf's den. "You're truly audacious, daring to intrude into the demon realm, walking right into the trap, throwing away your lives!"
Chu Sang smiled at him, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, don't be so sure. We've come this time merely to represent the cultivation world and inquire about Your Majesty's recovery. We've even brought quite a few pills as a gesture of sincerity."
Her words, hiding daggers behind a smile, caused the expressions of the other Beast Kings to change. The recent incident of the Demon Emperor's power being damaged and his realm dropping was something that the few Beast Kings who were his close ministers had guessed, but it was merely a guess, not yet confirmed.
Yet this mere cultivator from the cultivation world seemed to know the inner workings of the demon realm so well? They even knew about the Demon Emperor's injury? Could it be... that the Demon Emperor was injured by them? Had the cultivation world become so powerful?
The Demon Emperor's face also changed for a moment, but old ginger is spicier. He instantly covered up that flicker of unease on his face, his lips curling into a cold smile, "The demon realm is this emperor's territory. Everyone here is my people. Now that you've stepped into this place, don't think about leaving alive."
"Who says this place only has your people, not ours?"
To the shock of all the beasts present, she casually opened a cylinder-like magical tool. The sky exploded with a series of colorful fireworks. Her voice mixed with the howling wind, "Everyone, how do you like these funeral fireworks?"
The sound of tens of thousands of beasts stampeding, hooves trampling the ground, her signal shook the earth and mountains. Those that fly in the sky, walk on the ground, and swim in the water—at the moment the fireworks exploded in the sky, millions of demon beast troops came charging from all directions. It was a vast, dark mass, blotting out the sky. The Demon Emperor's face grew increasingly unsightly, even panicked, because these demon beast troops were clearly coming for him?!
When he saw the black dragon breaking through the clouds, the panic on his face even turned to fear. It was the dragon son he had failed to eliminate back then. He never expected that since their last parting after he was severely injured, the dragon's strength would have improved so much. For a moment, he even thought the previous Demon Emperor had come back to life...
