World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2114 - 1002: Lanling Humiliates Zhi Yan! Yao Xing Emerges!

Inside the Sky Temple Cosmic Tower!

This was the first time Zhi Yan visited this place, considered the most mysterious spot in the Dragon Temple, also constructed under the guidance of the Lunar Holy Palace.

"Is this enough?" Zhi Yan turned around to ask.

"Yes, it is," Shi Tian replied.

Tian Daoqi said, "It is done."

Then Zhi Yan sat there silently, her whole body enveloped in a halo of light. This halo extended directly to the tip of the Cosmic Tower, projecting to a very distant place.

Shi Tian said, "Next, it is time to witness the humiliation of the Demon Emperor."

Ning Wuya said, "The Demon Emperor Lanling is extremely proud. Only by trampling on his pride and dignity, manipulating his intellect, can we cause his collapse. And the person to manipulate him was once his wife. So, if we are lucky, within a few months, this Demon Emperor will completely collapse, lose his mental defenses, and be at the mercy of others."

The Demon Emperor was too powerful; once he entered the Dragon Realm, we might use realm power to suppress him, but never defeat or kill him. Inheriting the Demon Emperor’s legacy, the possibility of destroying him with force was completely lost.

The only effective way is to destroy him mentally.

Hence, in the Danzhou Realm prison, the Dragon Emperor he encountered was, of course, fake, impersonated by Zhi Yan.

Lanling voluntarily walked into the Danzhou Realm prison, because he was full of confidence in the Dragon Emperor, believing he would leave messages inside for him; otherwise, the Dragon Emperor wouldn’t let Yao Xing bring Lanling to this world.

The Dragon Temple truly grasped this mentality of the Demon Emperor Lanling and immediately produced the illusion of the Dragon Emperor luring him to find the Divine Dragon Nihility Bloodline, delivering an annihilating blow to his confidence.

The most promising path was completely cut off.

And what happens when Lanling reaches this Divine Dragon Nihility Bloodline for absorption?

Flooding into his mind will be mental toxins, not energy, but pure mental information. It will unsettle Lanling’s brain, subjecting it to horrifying torment, gradually destroying effective information within his brain domain.

Such mental toxins and traps are everywhere.

But as long as Lanling doesn’t actively devour or absorb, they will never invade Lanling’s brain domain.

Hence, the first step to obliterate the Demon Emperor Lanling, Shi Tian and Tian Daoqi commanded Zhi Yan to personally complete, to deal a fatal blow to Lanling.

...

Inside the Danzhou Realm prison.

Lanling slowly stood underneath this galaxy-like brilliant light, truly identical to the Demonic Nihility Bloodline, all transparent, adorned in a majestic light.

It was filled with boundless temptation.

According to the Dragon Emperor’s consciousness, just by absorbing it, he could merge it with the Demonic Nihility Bloodline within him, becoming the Chaos Bloodline.

However, Lanling lightly sighed and said, "What a strategy. If I remember correctly, this should be the mental toxin, right? The Lunar Holy Palace is incredible; it can control both the human brain and spirit, and even produce viruses."

The Nihility Bloodline is immune to all poisons, but cannot resist mental viruses.

Just like someone with an extremely strong and healthy body can’t fend off psychological and mental diseases.

"If I haven’t guessed wrong, the one who just guided me here should be my beloved wife Zhi Yan, right?" Lanling said slowly, "Yan, previously I served you so well, have you forgotten that favor? First, you tried to kill me, and now you’re harming me again? One night as husband and wife is worth hundreds of days of loyalty—doing this to me, aren’t you afraid of menstrual imbalance?"

Lanling’s words could be described as extremely malicious.

Suddenly, Zhi Yan’s delicate body trembled violently, her jade fists clenched tightly.

And Tian Daoqi, Shi Tian, and Ning Wuya’s expressions changed dramatically.

The entire process was flawless; everything Zhi Yan did was under the supervision of the three, without any mistakes. How did Lanling discover it?

Lanling said, "Yan, if I haven’t guessed wrong, there are three people beside you, right? The first leader of the Sky Temple, Shi Tian, then there’s Tian Daoqi who emerged from the Heaven Tomb and achieved the Dragon Emperor breeding enterprise, and Demon Star Pavilion Master Ning Wuya?"

The three were silent, knowing saying anything would be a mistake.

"You might wonder how come my dear wife Zhi Yan led me here and there was no mistake, yet I discovered it?" Lanling said, "The reason is simple, measure others by oneself. Because if it were me, I’d do the same. Because everyone is equally ruthless and cunning."

The scene remained silent.

"Speak up..." Lanling said, "Yan, how have you been these years without me by your side? Without me, could you be cheating on me?"

Zhi Yan had already bitten her lip until it bled.

This is not a Demon Emperor at all, but a total rogue.

Zhi Yan suddenly stood up, ignoring the three leaders, and directly departed, which seemed very rude.

Ning Wuya wanted to stop her, but seeing that neither Tian Daoqi nor Shi Tian spoke, he remained silent as well.

All along, Zhi Yan has been a very independent and special figure in the Dragon Temple, never showing great ambition, desire, nor affiliating with anyone.

But Shi Tian and, later, Tian Daoqi, greatly admired her.

Ning Wuya said, "Demon Emperor, we have a long future ahead; let’s not cross paths yet. We will gather our forces and strive to soon march south to conquer the Flame Demon Empire. Presumably, all Hell Knights should have a clear image within your mind, including Na Xue, and even Empress Dienie. As they disappear from your mind one by one, hope you won’t be too sad."

Then, the four left!

...

Inside the prison of the Danzhou dimension.

Lanling witnessed with his own eyes, the surrounding scenes beginning to shatter and collapse, turning into countless pixels.

And he found himself in a void, starting to reflect.

Two things can now be confirmed, first, the Dragon Emperor’s tomb indeed resides within the Danzhou dimension, as does the Divine Dragon Nihility Bloodline. Second, Lanling will never be able to reach the Dragon Emperor’s tomb.

The reason is quite simple, the Danzhou dimension truly exists because it is filled with powerful energy fields and potent dimensional laws.

Yet the Danzhou dimension also does not exist, because this so-called Danzhou dimension prison is actually demarcated by Lanling’s brain domain.

This is a very complex concept, so complex that even Lanling cannot fully comprehend it, so complex that using Emperor E Tian’s Energy Studies secrets, it’s difficult to both explain and grasp.

In any case, the Lunar Holy Palace has created a very powerful and peculiar dimension that surpasses two-dimensional and three-dimensional planes.

Once entering this dimension, these formidable dimensional energies completely merged with Lanling’s brain domain, interacting with each other.

Call it illusory, yet it is real. Call it real, yet it is illusory.

But what is certain is that one can never transcend their own brain domain and spirit. Therefore, no one can escape this dimensional prison, including the Demon Emperor and Dragon Emperor.

Up until now, Lanling finally understood why the Dragon Emperor, so powerful, would be imprisoned by the Dragon Temple.

At this moment, within the Danzhou world, Lanling’s brain domain is a plane, and the Dragon Emperor’s tomb is in another plane. The distance in between might not be closer than from the Flame Dragon World to Earth, so Lanling’s desire to enter the Dragon Emperor’s tomb is theoretically completely impossible.

Furthermore, the Dragon Emperor indeed is imprisoned within the Danzhou dimension, but the Dragon Emperor is imprisoned within the Dragon Emperor’s own brain domain. So even if the Dragon Emperor left any information, it absolutely cannot be known by Lanling.

Thus, the current situation is nearly completely unsolvable.

"Yao Xing, can you freely traverse the Danzhou dimension?" Lanling asked.

"Yes, Master." Yao Xing said, "However, my energy is limited, and this dimension is overly complex. It’s very likely I will be completely lost within this dimension because you know, this dimension is infinitely small yet infinitely large. If luck is bad, even exhausting all my energy, I may not reach the Dragon Emperor’s tomb. At that time, I would be completely lost in the Danzhou dimension, thoroughly captured by the Lunar Holy Palace and Dragon Temple."

Yao Xing is the highest energy in this world, the chaotic will of dragons and demons; if even it is captured by the Dragon Temple.

Then truly all hope is lost, even the hope of turning the tide in the future.

"Go." Lanling said.

Yao Xing said, "Master, what if I get lost?"

Lanling said, "Then I have a second plan, only it’s very, very, very, very crazy."

"Go on, go on..." Lanling said.

"Yes, Master." Yao Xing said.

Then, it turned into a beam of light and flew out from the Crow Crying Sword, directly breaking through the Danzhou dimension prison composed of Lanling’s brain domain, heading towards the unknown direction of the Dragon Emperor’s tomb.

...

Sky Holy Palace.

Huai Bingyi approached Zhi Yan.

"This is my final proposal to you." Huai Bingyi said, "Master does not approve of our union, because once you and I marry, your position in the Sky Holy Palace stops at the top five. And he wants you to vie for the second seat."

Taking a deep breath, Huai Bingyi said, "This way, you and I marry, and in the future, you strive for the first seat. Meanwhile, I withdraw from the competition for the top five in the Sky Holy Palace, how about it?"

Hearing this, Zhi Yan was stunned, somewhat incredulous, staring at Huai Bingyi.

In the Sky Holy Palace, perhaps there is affection, but it can never surpass interest and power. Is Huai Bingyi sincere in his statement?

Huai Bingyi continued, "Master says my best marriage match is with Fu Lingxi. Because this can deliver a fatal blow to Suo Lun and bolster my position, since Fu Lingxi will represent the Demon Star Pavilion."

This world is too crazy, reminiscent of some divine drama on Earth, "Game of Thrones," where the master of the Lion family, Taiwen, wants his daughter Sèxī to marry the son of the Rose family’s master, the Knight of Flowers, a whole generation apart, over twenty years. And Sèxī is not only a queen dowager but also the sister-in-law of the Knight of Flowers.

Huai Bingyi said, "I don’t want to be so chaotic and dirty for the sake of power, so I am willing to fulfill your quest for the first seat. Then I will step back and become your strong support because we two are the best match."

Zhi Yan gazed at Huai Bingyi, shaking her head, "I appreciate your admiration, but I cannot marry you."

"Why?" Huai Bingyi asked.

Zhi Yan said, "Just now Suo Lun used the most venomous words to attack me, calling me a whore lower than low. If I marry you, I will really lose the last shred of pride, truly becoming the lowest whore. I need to show him, even if it means killing him, that a whore is a whore."

Note: Here’s the second update, thank you all.
