Master of the Demon Emperor

Facing the simultaneous explosion of thousands of World-Ending Emperor Stars, even Su Yie found himself squinting.

He turned around to use Void Jutsu, tearing through space, and swiftly moving away.

But right after, he felt a killing intent coming from behind and, looking back, saw Evil King Relic relentlessly pursuing him, also maneuvering through space.

"You little brat, you can't escape! Since you refuse to hand over the Divine Sacred Iron, I will extract your soul and refine the Divine Sacred Iron from it!"

Evil King Relic said bitterly, seeming like a shadow, his real face never revealed.

In this way, he appeared even more horrifying.

Upon hearing this, Su Yie furrowed his brows, and his eyes flashed with two Golden Crows.

He turned around and attacked Evil King Relic!

Armed with Emperor Su's Divine Outfit, he was ready to take a risk!

Boom—

The two collided amidst gaps in space, with Evil King Relic overpowering and using various Divine Skills effortlessly, battering Su Yie relentlessly, who had no power to fight back.

However, relying on Emperor Su's Divine Outfit, Su Yie remained unharmed.

"I'm totally no match for him..."

Su Yie's heart sank. With Hongmeng Divine Spirits watching over Hongmeng and the Evil Hall eyeing the Origin Plane, he had nowhere to teleport.

There were two places he could teleport to, however—Tai Su Sword Lord and Nan Xiaopao.

But he did not wish to appear before them in such an embarrassing state.

"How is this possible! Could it be the power of the Divine Sacred Iron? Why can't I hurt you!"

Evil King Relic cried out in shock, his speed in deploying Divine Skills so fast that even Su Yie couldn't see his movements clearly.

Yet, the one most shocked was still Evil King Relic.

Su Yie didn't answer him, instead channeling the Power of Destruction within him, a power that, until the emergence of the Great Celestial Devouring Technique, had always been his ultimate Divine Skill.

This time, he found his Power of Destruction extraordinarily strong!

It seemed like something was enhancing his Power of Destruction.

With a shake of his arms, his Power of Destruction crashed into Evil King Relic like a tidal wave, blasting him away.

"This power..."

Su Yie's eyes widened, feeling the blood within him boiling, the True Sunflame irresistibly overflowing from his body.

An unprecedented sense of power made him feel as though he could destroy everything!

He even somewhat desired to destroy everything!

A uncontrollable fury sprouted from the depths of his heart.

His eyes instantly turned blood red, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

"This evil power... could it be that the old man was telling the truth?"

Feng Long cried out in shock, recalling what Elder Kang Mei had said, that the Divine Sacred Iron was perhaps an evil object!

Su Yie also realized something was wrong with his state, but he just couldn't suppress his evil thoughts.

Boom—

His right arm, unable to withstand the force of destruction, burst apart!

He immediately stepped forward, crossing the gaps in space, arriving right in front of Evil King Relic.

Evil King Relic was also frightened by his aura, but still managed to clap his hands together.

The palms met and Evil King Relic felt an overwhelmingly powerful force drilling into his palm, causing his left arm to explode instantly, followed by blazing flames entwining his flesh like countless evil insects devouring his body, causing him extreme discomfort.

"Who are you really?"

Evil King Relic cried out in alarm, facing Su Yie's Power of Destruction, feeling his mana rapidly draining, and most importantly, his flesh became immobile.

That's right!

While deploying the Power of Destruction, Su Yie also used the Great Celestial Devouring Technique.

Even with Wang Buqi's cultivation, he also couldn't suppress Evil King Relic, but his body still contained the Divine Sacred Iron!

With a bang!

Su Yie's body exploded completely, leaving only his soul intact.

His soul retained its human shape, appearing almost translucent as if he suddenly became semi-transparent.

He frantically absorbed the Evil King Relic's mana and luck.

In a critical moment, the Evil King Relic clenched his teeth, his eyes bursting with madness.

He was ready to perish together!

"Bastard! If I die, we die together!"

The Evil King Relic roared, and then he detonated his soul. With a terrifying boom, the surrounding space shattered, everything turned into void, and Su Yie's consciousness instantly fell into a blank.

His soul was blasted into ashes by the self-destructive force of the Evil King Relic!

At the crucial moment, a fleeting bright light appeared.

…

Su Yie had a dream.

He dreamed that he returned to Xiwan City University, where after Venerable Xuanyuan's voice was heard, everyone thought it was the end of the world, but nothing happened.

He walked out of the school with Nan Xiaopao, laughing and talking. After taking Nan Xiaopao to the station, he departed alone, wandering the streets, preparing to go to work.

Under the night sky, the streets were bustling with people and vehicles.

A figure bumped into him, and he instinctively turned his head to look.

A face so horrifying looked up at him, its skin pale and bloodless, its eyes void of pupils, absolutely hollow, yet his expression was fierce as if he wanted to devour Su Yie.

Su Yie was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.

He sat up from the ground with a start, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of mountains and rivers.

Blue skies and white clouds, rows of white cranes flew in a V-formation overhead, the scene as beautiful as a painting.

He sat on the ground, his right hand clutching his chest, gasping for air, his eyes wide open, sweat pouring down his body.

Memories flooded from the depths of his mind like a tide.

After a long while.

He finally regained his calm, as for the earlier nightmare, he did not take it to heart.

He instinctively looked at his hands and exclaimed in shock, "I'm not dead?"

Before the Evil King Relic self-destructed, he was left only with his soul, yet unexpectedly, after the explosion, his physical body seemed to have recovered.

He couldn't help but focus his attention on the chat in Emperor Su's Sect inside his mind, his expression growing serious for a long while.

Because there was no one chatting inside Emperor Su's Sect.

Not a single message.

He called out to Feng Long, Bai Yuyan, and Silver Marrow, but none responded to him.

"You almost died."

Just then, a cold voice came.

Startled, he turned around to see, only to find a man in white clothes who had appeared behind him at some unknown time, his black hair cascading down like a waterfall, his facial features stern, and his eyebrows conveyed a disdain for mortals.

Most crucially, this person looked exactly like him!

He hastily got up and frowned, asking, "Me from a previous life?"

This person was indeed Emperor Su whom he had previously seen in the World of Past and Present.

Emperor Su slightly lifted his chin, frowning intently at him, anger evident in his eyes, he said, "Didn't I tell you not to be defeated?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yie fell silent.

Was he in the midst of a dream?

"You're not dreaming, you're too weak, which disappoints me; you're not worthy of the name Emperor Su."

Emperor Su said to Su Yie, his words resonating with the frustration of iron not turning to steel.

Upon hearing this, Su Yie instantly became angry and said, "Can you defeat an enemy who surpasses you by more than a dozen great realms?"

"I can't, but I've only been defeated twice in my life."

Emperor Su replied, and as he spoke, he struck Su Yie on the chest with a palm.

Boom—

Su Yie's consciousness instantly fell into a brief void, his body flying like an arrow, crashing through mountains.

By the time his consciousness revived, he was still flying backward, but a cold hand from behind blocked him, stopping him.
