World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2128 - 1013: Zhuang Zhixuan’s Rise! The Monster Sect’s Doomsday!

Ashi Liren brought Jiang Xi to the Rage Wave Kingdom to meet Lanling.

Looking at this eight-year-old child, he was already the last descendant left by Jiang Shang.

Lanling was somewhat conflicted because he originally planned to establish a rule that no one in the Human Kingdom could be crowned king unless they were his descendants.

However, the Jiang lineage has been so loyal to the Dragon Emperor, safeguarding the Dragon Emperor’s legacy for thousands of years.

Moreover, considering that the Flame Demon Empire also had many kings of different surnames, such as the Rakshasa Prince of the Tang and the Prince of Heavenly Fiend.

"Very well..." Lanling sighed and said, "I hereby bestow a title upon Jiang Shang as the new prince of the Flame Dragon Empire and as a lord of the Jiang Blood Yanlong Empire. I also name Jiang Xi as the Crown Prince of Dongli, with Imperial Concubine Ashi Liren managing the Dongli Kingdom on his behalf."

Ashi Liren frowned with difficulty. She was used to fighting with her fists, and to have her manage a country was a bit challenging. Fortunately, under Jiang Shang’s rule, the Dongli Kingdom had many capable and ambitious ministers, and they harbored strong animosity towards the Dragon Temple.

After the killing of King Dongli Jiang Shang, although these people were ousted, at least they weren’t dead, so managing the Dongli Kingdom shouldn’t be too problematic.

"I thank Your Majesty." The eight-year-old Jiang Xi bowed to Lanling, but his eyes remained on him.

"Is there something you wish to say to me?" Lanling asked.

Jiang Xi said, "I wish Your Majesty to help catch Ji Yingsha in the future."

He directly called her by name, rather than as his mother.

"And let you personally kill her?" Lanling asked.

Jiang Xi shook his head and said, "No, I just want to ask her why she did this, why she murdered my father."

This is truly a precocious child.

"Alright, I promise you," Lanling said, "Once I capture her, I’ll let you ask her this question before she is executed."

Lanling spoke quite bluntly, even when facing an eight-year-old child, he spoke openly about executions.

...

The Demon Continent, located in the depths of the Western Sea of the Human Kingdom, is a piece of land about 200,000 square kilometers.

It is considered a secret land not because they are independent realms, but because they are hidden away in a very unique manner.

Moreover, although this land is also part of the Dragon Demon Planet, it does not entirely fall under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Emperor and the Demon Emperor, and should be considered a place beyond their reach. Furthermore, not an inch of the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower exists here.

The Demon Continent governs witchcraft, alchemy, and other such things in the Human Kingdom.

Almost all bizarre spells in the world, as well as all poisons, originate from the Demon Continent. Of course, this is entirely due to the decentralization of technology from the Dragon Temple.

The entire Demon Continent has a population of several hundred thousand, with over ten thousand magicians, and the recent lifting of restrictions on the energy martial arts of the Dragon Temple has allowed the power of the Demon Continent to surge rapidly. Nearly ten people, including the Monster Sect breaking through to the Sub-King level, Witch Yuanyuan, and Monster Continent Crown Prince Yao Ba, have all broken through to become saint-rank powerhouses.

In the past, this strength would have been extremely formidable.

But now...

With the rise of Demon Emperor Lanling, the entire Flame Demon Empire was on the rise.

After Demon Emperor Lanling invaded the Human Kingdom, the Demon Continent was constantly in fear.

Especially since the Sky Holy Palace closed all space channels and refused refuge to all members of the Four Great Secret Lands, which infuriated the Monster Sect.

The ancestors of the Sky Holy Palace were really ruthless. When needed, they had the Four Great Secret Lands working tirelessly. Every beauty, delicacy, and piece of wealth enjoyed in the Sky Holy Palace was provided by the Four Great Secret Lands.

Every time the Sky Holy Palace wanted to deal with certain people or forces in the Human Kingdom, didn’t they give the command and the Four Great Secret Lands quickly carried it out?

So all along, the Four Great Secret Lands had the illusion that they were an important part of the Dragon Temple, and could even influence the appointments of high-ranking members of the Sky Holy Palace.

Moreover, the lords of the Four Great Secret Lands were considered equivalent in status to the Sky Reserve High Priests, or even higher.

However, the result proved they thought too much.

After Demon Emperor Lanling acquired the Divine Dragon Nihility Bloodline, any member of the Sky Holy Palace above the Dragon-Honored Warrior could return to the Sky Holy Palace. Meanwhile, the Four Great Secret Lands, including the Flame Empire’s people, could only stay here and await death.

...

At the main hall of the Demon Capital.

The Monster Sect’s face was flawless, with half of his hair black and the other half snow white. His robe was similarly divided, half black and half snow white.

But this person was not androgynous; it was evident at a glance he was a man, and a tall and majestic one. He deliberately darkened his eyebrows and reddened his lips, appearing particularly eerie.

"Speak, what do we do?" cried the Monster Sect sharply, "Can we surrender? The Demon Emperor is a demon, and I am a monster, we are the same kind after all!"

Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon Continent said, "Father, you are overthinking. If Suo Lun accepted surrender, the Flame Emperor wouldn’t have died."

The Monster Sect said, "But we have Zhuang Zhixuan and Yaomeng in our hands, aren’t they close to the Demon Emperor? Moreover, they are lovers. Let them plead on our behalf."

Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon Continent said, "The Flame Emperor was still the maternal grandfather of Lanling’s children, and he was killed just the same. Do you think pleading will help?"

"Then what should we do? Do we just wait here to die?" screamed the Monster Sect.

Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon Continent said, "In that case, might as well go all out and give Demon Emperor Lanling a brutal lesson, and test the waters for the Sky Holy Palace. I’ll go beg Huai Bingyi and let the Sky Holy Palace open a space gate to allow our Demon Continent’s leaders to enter."

The Monster Sect said, "But the Sky Holy Palace has already rejected us, they have already abandoned us."

Yuanyuan said: "Since surrendering is useless, why not fight Demon Emperor Lanling to the end and show the Dragon Temple what we’re made of."

The Monster Sect pondered for a moment and said: "Fine, since Lanling doesn’t want us alive, then let’s ravage his woman to death! You must contact Huai Bingyi immediately!"

...

The Monster Sect gathered all the magicians, samurai, energy arrays, and poisonous formations, heading toward the entrance of Demon Continent.

Demon Continent has been modified by the Dragon Temple, all surrounding space is warped, filled with Dark Rifts and black hole traps, with only one entrance. Countless energy arrays and poisonous formations are laid out.

This entrance is not a door, but a thick fog.

Behind the thick fog are layers of energy arrays.

The Monster Sect, escorting Zhuang Zhixuan and Yaomeng, approached the entrance of the Demon Continent.

Zhuang Zhixuan, once the sword attendant of Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon State, always disguised as a man, later mistakenly followed Suo Lun, becoming his personal bodyguard, absolutely loyal.

After Zhi Yan killed Suo Lun, Nai’er and Zhuang Zhixuan sailed south to search for Suo Lun, only to be pursued by Huai Bingyi and Zhi Yan. The Tiancha King saved Yan Nai’er, leaving Zhuang Zhixuan behind, who was taken by Huai Bingyi and returned to Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon State.

Meanwhile, Sorcerer Yaomeng had been conducting secret research on islands outside Tianshui City in the East Sea. After Suo Lun’s death, all his estates were swept away; people close to Suo Lun, like Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingfeng, were taken by the Dragon Temple. Yaomeng, being of no interest to the Dragon Temple, was captured by the Demon Continent, as she was regarded as a traitor.

At the energy array of the Demon Continent, Princess Yuanyuan continually summoned: "Your Majesties of the Sky Holy Palace, the Demon Continent will never surrender and will fight to the end against the Sky Holy Palace. Lanling’s two women are our sacrificial flag."

"Huai Bingyi, are you there? Though Lanling is powerful, I fearlessly face him, I will scorn him as the shapeshifting elf, turning into his wife Yan Nai’er, flaunting shamelessly before everyone. Even if I die, I will humiliate Lanling, trample on him!"

However, there was no response from the Sky Holy Palace.

...

The Headless Knight and Ashi Luo, leading a thirty-thousand-strong army, easily passed through the disguise of the Demon Continent.

The Demon Continent, sprawling over two hundred thousand square kilometers, lay ahead, surrounded by distorted light. The entire territory and its skies are filled with warped spatial cracks and black hole traps.

Only one entrance is shrouded in mist.

Indeed, it is much stronger than the Flame Empire.

"Cheap tricks..." The Headless Knight sneered.

He reached out a massive hand, tearing fiercely.

Instantly, the thick fog shrouding the entrance to the Demon Continent was ripped apart, revealing the entrance.

Behind the entrance, densely packed energy arrays as the Monster Sect led its hundreds of thousands-strong army, forming a pocket array.

"I have Demon Emperor Lanling’s two women here." The Monster Sect remarked harshly: "Withdraw now, or I’ll kill them as a sacrifice."

At this moment, Zhuang Zhixuan, now short-haired, dressed as a man.

And Yaomeng had been tortured beyond recognition.

Both were confined in a giant energy array, with two terrifying giant snakes coiling nearby, brewing venom in their mouths.

"At my command, these two women of the Demon Emperor will turn to sludge." The Monster Sect stated: "If you don’t want them dead, retreat now."

Ashi Luo and the Headless Knight exchanged a glance, reporting to Demon Emperor Lanling from several thousand miles away.

"Your Majesty, Zhuang Zhixuan and Yaomeng are in the hands of the Monster Sect, threatening their lives to resist." The Headless Knight conveyed.

"Understood." Demon Emperor Lanling replied.

"Withdraw the troops..." The Monster Sect shouted violently and took flight, positioning a claw weapon above Zhuang Zhixuan’s head, exclaiming: "One strike, and Zhuang Zhixuan is mud."

Lanling and Zhuang Zhixuan shared intimate moments more than once; thus Zhuang Zhixuan’s body harbored energy from Suo Lun’s life force for a long time.

As the Demon Continent opened, it was no longer fog-like, although Lanling’s divine power was weak here, it was enough.

He easily found the life energy within Zhuang Zhixuan and projected tremendous power into it.

In an instant...

Zhuang Zhixuan’s enchanting eyes transformed into demon pupils.

Her hair lengthened dramatically, and wings sprouted from her back.

"Whoosh..." Zhuang Zhixuan soared into the sky, shattered the Monster Sect’s claw with one palm, and glared at the Monster Sect: "Your end is near."

At that moment, Ashi Luo shouted: "Don’t kill him, leave him to me."

Zhuang Zhixuan nodded, and then flew directly towards the depths of the Demon Continent.

She intended to capture Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon State, to repay the torment she endured all these years.

"Yuanyuan, your downfall has come!"
