World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2134 - 1019: Sky Holy Palace Purge

(Note: The Sky Holy Palace is monitoring not Lanling, but the space in front of the Dark Void Vortex, so they are able to see Lanling disappear into the large vortex of the Dark Void.)

After great joy, the four chiefs and Ji Xiuning showed expressions of disbelief.

Did... did this succeed?

Was it really this easy to trap Demon Emperor Lanling, the most powerful enemy in history?

Just like that... so effortlessly?

Only heaven knows the immense pressure the four chiefs have been under during this period, even Gu Ban and Ning Wuya were beginning to feel restless. Kui Shuangshuang even remarked, resonating with Ning Wuya, that one should not be the first, but should not be the last either.

Demon Emperor Lanling is almost invincible; without the Lunar Holy Palace’s intervention, there was no one in this world who could annihilate Demon Emperor Lanling.

"The only one in this world who can destroy the Demon Emperor is the Demon Emperor himself." Tian Daoqi said, "Ji Xiuning put it well, put it well..."

Gu Ban hesitated for a moment and said, "Did we really succeed like this?"

Ji Xiuning said, "Demon Emperor Lanling is extremely intelligent, but also extremely paranoid. He is innately inclined towards self-destruction and desire. Even if he vaguely knows it’s a trap, he will jump in. Such a person, even without any martial arts, whether seeing an abyss, a volcano, or standing on a thousand-foot cliff, has the urge to jump down. This destructive personality is rare, but he is such a person; it’s a kind of neurosis."

"Well said..." Ning Wuya said, "Ji Xiuning’s understanding of Demon Emperor Lanling far surpasses ours, and she deserves enormous credit for this plan’s success."

Ji Xiuning said, "Your Majesties, do you remember the large vortex at the Devil’s Throat in the East Sea, directly leading to the failed Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple? That was a trap we set for him, a trap activating the Black Hole Vortex in his energy heart, which Lanling jumped into without hesitation. The last time, the Tanzhou Plane Prison was also a trap, and he jumped in without hesitation. This person’s neurosis is already very severe, his self-destructive personality having reached its extreme. That’s why this time, he will still jump into the large vortex leading to the dark void. It is based on this reason that I came up with this strategy, to feign surrender and bait Lanling. Your Majesties were wise and discerning, not only agreeing to my plan but also allowing me to enter the Cosmic Tower, so Your Majesties are the greatest contributors to the annihilation of Demon Emperor Lanling."

These words made Gu Ban’s face twitch.

The struggle between him and Ning Wuya is truly constant and back-and-forth.

Previously, Fu Lingxi under Ning Wuya’s command shamelessly betrayed him and sided with Tian Daoqi. The marriage between Fu Lingxi and Huai Bingyi represented an alliance between Tian Daoqi and Gu Ban. Moreover, Tian Daoqi and Shi Tian have always favored Zhi Yan, intending to elevate him.

As a result, Zhi Yan, Huai Bingyi, and even Fu Lingxi under Gu Ban’s command have occupied three positions at the highest level of the Sky Holy Palace in the future.

While Ji Xiuning, under Ning Wuya’s command, was being marginalized and eager to perform before Tian Daoqi, Kui Shuangshuang was under heavy suppression, with Ning Wuya seeming on the verge of total defeat.

No one expected Lanling to escape the Tanzhou Plane, and that Zhi Yan would remain in the Human Kingdom without returning, even personally persuading Lanling to surrender, which was undoubtedly a betrayal, although Shi Tian and Tian Daoqi have not characterized it that way, Gu Ban felt the pressure.

And now, Ji Xiuning personally lured Demon Emperor Lanling into the dark void trap.

With such significant merit and the fact that Zhi Yan has already betrayed, the top position in the future Sky Holy Palace, at least the second position, is likely to fall into Ji Xiuning’s hands.

Ning Wuya once again gained the upper hand in this struggle, and Gu Ban seemed once again on the brink of defeat.

At once, Gu Ban said, "You must not be blindly optimistic, do not forget, whether it was in the Space Laboratory trap or the Tanzhou Plane Prison trap, Demon Emperor Lanling successfully escaped. So celebrating victory now might be premature."

Ning Wuya laughed indifferently, saying nothing.

Ji Xiuning said, "Teacher’s education is correct, but in the Space Laboratory trap, our plan was a success. It’s just that Lanling was reborn from a dead end and obtained the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, otherwise he would have turned to ashes. And in the Tanzhou Plane Prison, it just so happened to coincide with the rare total eclipse of the Dark Moon, a danger that Your Majesties have already understood, and even created countermeasures for. It’s just unexpected that Lanling, in his madness, would destroy two Heavenly Demon Towers to disrupt the fragile energy balance of the Tanzhou Plane, allowing him to escape."

The four chiefs of the Sky Holy Palace fell silent.

Ji Xiuning said, "So the first two times, Your Majesties did not make any mistakes. If anything, it was the cruelty of fate. Now that Demon Emperor Lanling has entered the dark void trap, I ask Your Majesties, does he have any possibility of escaping?"

Shi Tian and Tian Daoqi exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

Tian Daoqi said, "There is no possibility of escape, not even for an Emperor-level powerhouse."

Ji Xiuning said, "Is there any possibility of escape for Lanling with the Chaotic Bloodline?"

"Impossible!" Tian Daoqi said, "The Chaotic Bloodline is invincible in the Dragon Demon World, but Void Creatures are not of the Dragon Demon World’s creation. Honestly speaking, even the Lunar Holy Palace may not be able to eliminate Void Creatures."
