Chapter 287 An Unparalleled Battle
Chapter 287 An Unparalleled Battle
The woman in red robes stood alone between heaven and earth at the front of the battle, with her millions of people behind her.
"Yun Zhouwan, the once mighty Demon Realm has been reduced to such a wretched state by you. You are indeed a human race that cannot be brought to the table. The Demon Realm has been destroyed in your hands. You might as well hand it over while it still has a shred of value. I, the king, will grant you a complete corpse." The extremely ugly demon king spoke in a way that was just as nauseating as he was.
Under Yun Yao's leadership, the Demon Realm had long since put aside their hatred. They lived a peaceful and contented life. Having experienced the pain of the great war, they no longer wanted to take up arms against anyone. However, there were always some treacherous villains who felt that the Demon Realm was no longer as powerful as before and were determined to seize the vast Demon Realm for themselves.
"Demon King, you have repeatedly sent people to harass my Demon Realm. It seems you have long ago decided to take over the Demon Realm. But have you forgotten that a hundred years ago, my Demon Realm was the overlord of these six realms!"
"We do not wish to fight, but we are not afraid to fight!" Yun Yao shouted sternly.
The moment she finished speaking, a powerful protective formation rose up, and the millions of demons behind her quickly formed ranks, their imposing presence even more awe-inspiring than the demons at their peak a hundred years ago.
The reason the demons were being suppressed by these petty demons was not because they lacked strength; they were waiting for the Demon Lord to speak. Over the past hundred years, Yun Yao had told them more than once to be prepared for danger in times of peace. They did not want war, but they were not afraid of anyone.
This peaceful haven was given to them by Yun Yao, so before she gave the word, they were unwilling to be enemies with any race, even if it meant... the annihilation of their entire race.
A great war between the two realms is about to break out, but in terms of momentum, the demon realm has already begun to lose ground.
……
High above the heavens, a handsome and noble man witnessed everything that happened in the Demon Realm. Behind him followed hundreds of divine officials and generals, all silent and extremely respectful.
"So, my esteemed ministers still believe that this Demon Lord must be eliminated?" The man's gentle voice rang out, carrying an undeniable force.
The priests and generals behind him all bowed their heads and remained silent, while only a few elderly men following the man shook their heads, their words earnest.
"God Emperor, since ancient times, gods and demons have been irreconcilable. Although this Demon Lord has not stirred up any conflict since ascending to the throne, it is hard to guarantee that she will not have ulterior motives in the future. The Demon Realm is the greatest enemy of our God Realm. If it is not eliminated, I am afraid it will be difficult to put the minds of the people of the God Realm at ease!"
"This old minister believes that what the Heavenly Destiny Star Lord said is very reasonable. The demon race has committed countless evils and their hands are stained with blood. How many of our divine generals have died at the hands of the demon race? If they are not severely punished, wouldn't that chill the hearts of all our soldiers!"
"God Emperor, I know you cannot bear to see the people of the Six Realms suffer, but only by eliminating future troubles can we ensure the peace of the Six Realms!"
The voices of dissuasion continued incessantly, but the man standing with his hands behind his back showed no change in expression, only his vast, star-like eyes darkened slightly.
Seeing this, the three old ministers knew the God Emperor was hesitant, and they turned around and gave the other officials a meaningful look.
A moment later, all the gods knelt down.
"This matter concerns the safety of the Six Realms; we urge the God Emperor to reconsider!" The plea echoed throughout the entire hall.
The man glanced at the demon-demon war that had already begun, his gaze falling on the demon lord facing off against the demon king at the front of the battle. He finally shook his head.
"By imperial decree, the demon realm has instigated war and disregarded the lives of innocent people. Demon King Chi Le, kill them!"
His pleasant and magnetic voice suddenly spread throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, and thunder roared in the sky, locking onto the smug demon king on the battlefield.
When the Demon King Chi Le heard these words, he found it hard to believe, but when he saw the inescapable divine punishment coming toward him, he truly panicked.
"God Emperor, my Demon Realm and your God Realm have always kept to themselves. What right do you have to punish me!" Chi Le roared.
Yun Yao looked at the almost crazed Demon King Chi Le in front of her, who had already withdrawn his attack. Then she looked at the two armies below who had stopped fighting, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Chile, this divine punishment is the most severe punishment in the divine realm. It is said that even the God Emperor could not withstand nine rounds. You should quickly apologize to him, and maybe that one in the divine realm will take pity on you and take your demon realm into his possession."
"Yun Zhouwan!" Chi Le was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
"The gods are blind, daring to interfere in my affairs! Then bring it on! Do you think I'm afraid of them? If I don't die today, I will surely storm the highest heavens one day!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the fierce and powerful divine punishment descended, striking Chi Le directly.
With a roar of anger, Chi Le revealed his true form: a white tiger.
"Yun Zhouwan, as a demon, you actually colluded with those hypocritical scoundrels from the God Realm! You are unworthy to be the ruler of a realm!" Chi Le roared angrily.
The demon king had been forced to reveal his true form, and his shrimp soldiers and crab generals below had already fled in terror.
"Chi Le, we've known each other for a while now. Why did you have to set your sights on me? Now look what's happened, you've ended up with your soul scattered. Why did you do this to yourself?"
"How about this, if you lead your demon realm to merge with the demon race, I will take the divine punishment for you," Yun Yao said lazily and disdainfully.
Even at his worst, Chi Le was still the king of the demon race. He couldn't stand seeing Yun Yao, a petty person, get ahead, and he would rather die than submit.
Cile, prostrate on the ground, looked up at the second divine punishment brewing in the sky, and his voice echoed: "Yunzhouwan, stop daydreaming. I am not as skilled as others to suffer such a calamity today, but with the dignified Demon Lord accompanying me on the road to the Yellow Springs, this journey is not in vain!"
Before Yun Yao could react, he spat his demon core at her.
The demon core is the most important thing for the demon race. It can be said that the demon exists as long as the core exists, and the demon dies when the core dies. Even someone as powerful as Yun Yao did not expect Chi Le to do such a crazy thing.
Yun Yao was locked onto by the demon core and had no way to dodge. As the second divine punishment was about to descend, a look of panic flashed in her eyes.
Above the nine heavens.
The gods, seeing this scene reflected in the mirror, felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"I never expected that the Blazing Demon King could eliminate such a major threat to our God Realm before his death, killing Yun Zhouwan, this scourge, without firing a single shot. The God Emperor is truly thoughtful!"
They had just finished their flattery when, turning their heads, they found the God Emperor nowhere to be seen at the head of the table.
This demon core imbued a demon king with the will to die. Even if Yun Yao could break through it, it would take her several breaths. Looking at the divine punishment that was already very close, Yun Yao's expression was solemn.
"Chi Le, you underestimate me too much. Even that God Emperor could withstand nine Paths, so why can't I!"
Yun Yao was ready to fight with all her might, but... before she could even exert her strength, she fell into a cold embrace.
A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, and she was momentarily dazed. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a handsome face.
His features were sharply defined, exquisitely perfect, but the coldness emanating from him made people hesitate to approach.
"God... God Emperor?"
Before he could respond, the even more powerful divine punishment struck him directly.
Despite such a powerful attack, he merely leaned forward slightly without uttering a sound.
Yun Yao's gaze was somewhat vacant as she watched him crush Chi Le's demon core in a daze. Chi Le's miserable cries rang in her ears, while his expression remained as cold as ever.
Before Yun Yao could say a word to him, his figure disappeared, just as quickly as he had arrived.
"Hey—" Yun Yao exclaimed.
