Supreme Emptiness

The sorrow and anger in the heart of the Sky Demon Emperor finally found a trace of solace.

He glared furiously at the demons standing in opposition to him.

"You group of traitors who forget justice for profit!"

"Without you, my Cangqiong would still have steadfast followers!"

"Elder Han, Liu Li, they will accompany me in rising from the ashes..."

A bird of prey circled and landed beside Jiang Fan.

Liu Li and Han Feidao stood on either side of Jiang Fan.

Han Feidao cupped his hands and said, "Demon Emperor, I must apologize."

"Thanks to your years of trust, now, I have to return to my true identity."

"I was ordered by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master to nestle beside you."

"Now, I am retiring and will not accompany you in your resurgence."

What?

The Sky Demon Emperor's eyes widened, an anger of being deceived made him furious:

"Han Feidao!!!"

"You are actually a spy of the Human Clan!!!"

The thing he hated most in his life was being deceived.

He never dreamt that the Han Feidao beside him would deceive him for twenty years!

His eyes were full of killing intent, wishing to tear this heaven apart, to perish together with everyone!

Wait!

There's also Liu Li!

"Liu Li! What are you doing?"

"You are my daughter, and you also betray me?"

Liu Li's eyes dodged, shifting her gaze as she said, "You... are not my biological father."

The Sky Demon Emperor's pupils shrank, his eyes a bit flustered: "What nonsense are you talking?"

"I raised you with my own hands, how are you not my daughter?"

Liu Li said in a muffled voice, "The master has investigated for many years."

"I was a mysterious fetus brought back from Taicang State by the Tiger Demon Emperor, stored in a cave mansion."

"You merely discovered me unintentionally and took me out."

The Sky Demon Emperor's heart shook violently, glaring viciously at Han Feidao.

"What nonsense are you saying to my daughter?"

Han Feidao stroked his beard and said, "Demon Emperor, I am not speaking nonsense."

"Your bloodline talent is the Three-eyed Evil Jiao, Liu Li's bloodline talent is the mysterious Flying Snake, and she vaguely has an aura of ancient blood."

"Your bloodline talents are different, so where does the blood relationship come from?"

"Moreover, you have thirty-six concubines, yet none have borne you offspring over the years, is this a mere coincidence?"

"I discreetly inquired with many tribes and learned that when you fought with the leader of the Barbarian Elephant Tribe for the opportunity to break through to Demon Emperor, you suffered some incurable injuries."

"Presumably, you cannot bear offspring because of this?"

"To take it a step further, who is Liu Li's mother? You once said she was from some tribe's female demon clan, but when I wanted to investigate, I found that you exterminated that tribe, leaving no evidence."

"Considering all this, you are not Liu Li's biological father."

The Sky Demon Emperor's eyes were ablaze: "You old bastard!"

Exploiting the trust from him and the demons, you actually dug so thoroughly into his roots!

Seeing the trend was against him, he prepared to retreat and find another opportunity to make a comeback.

But, before leaving, he must take Liu Li with him!

This woman is very important.

She was placed in the central hall by the Tiger Demon Emperor, stored alongside his own fetus.

This shows the importance attached to her.

He spent many years of effort raising her, how could he let her go so easily?

"Liu Li, even if I am not your biological father, is the kindness of raising you these years fake?"

"Now you stand with a group trying to kill me, do you not feel guilty in your heart?"

"Come with me."

Liu Li struggled in her heart, seeking help by looking at Han Feidao.

Han Feidao frowned.

Those with too high a sense of moral obligation cannot withstand moral coercion.

On this point, he had no good solution.

Jiang Fan glanced at Liu Li's still swollen belly and said, "Liu Li."

"You are carrying the blood of my Jiang Family in your belly, after you give birth, you can return to your father."

Liu Li finally found a reason for herself not to leave.

She quickly held onto Jiang Fan's arm and nodded: "Mm-hmm, Sky Demon Emperor, I will come find you later."

"You leave first."

The Sky Demon Emperor was utterly enraged.

At this point, how could he not see that this isn't even a pregnancy?

Who has been pregnant for half a year without any change?

"Jiang Fan, stop your nonsense, that's not even..."

Jiang Fan couldn't let him continue to ramble on.

He took out the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

After so long, the previously consumed soul power had fully recovered.

Moreover, with the current situation settled and so many people protecting him, even if this hairpin exhausted his soul power, there's nothing to worry about.

Immediately he focused his mind and activated the hairpin.

A dot of blue light blossomed from within the hairpin, like a sprout, it quickly grew, turning into a tall parasol tree in the blink of an eye.

On its branches, nine bronze-colored phoenixes perched.

Magnificent and noble, exuding elegance and extraordinariness.

A pair of eyes coldly stared at the Sky Demon Emperor.

One of the phoenixes unfolded its wings, flying toward the Sky Demon Emperor.

The Sky Demon Emperor's hair stood on end!

Back then, he nearly had his soul taken away by a phoenix!

At this moment, Jiang Fan's soul power far exceeded the past and would not let this hairpin fail to activate again.

He displayed a look of fear, feeling an overwhelming sense of death.

Yet, he was entangled by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, unable to escape!

Seeing himself as doomed.

He gritted his teeth as if making some resolution and slapped his heart with his palm: "Dharma Seal Vajra!"

"I agree with you, I agree to join your Buddhism, to be your White Horse Temple's mount!"

"Quickly protect me!"

A faint layer of golden light immediately surged from the Sky Demon Emperor's heart.

Condensed into a golden phantom of Dharma Seal Vajra sitting cross-legged.

He bore a gentle smile, like the Buddha smiling while picking a flower, conveying an indescribable sense of profundity.

The bronze bird flew over, and the Dharma Seal Vajra phantom lightly lifted a finger, pointing at its head.

The bronze bird actually folded its wings, intending to submit beside him.

Jiang Fan's expression changed, he immediately ceased operating the hairpin.

The bronze bird then quickly awoke, hurriedly flying back to the parasol tree, then transforming back into a blue light to return to the hairpin.

Jiang Fan's face turned pale, his soul weak beyond measure.

His eyes were filled with surprise.

The Dharma Seal Vajra almost converted the bronze bird too; and that was merely a wisp of its phantom!

"When will the cycle of revenge end, spare others when possible."

"Distinguished guests, the Sky Demon Emperor has taken refuge in Buddhism, let's sever the ties to the mortal world."

Jiang Fan showed a cold look and shouted: "Dharma Seal Vajra! What right do you have to speak of sparing others?"

"When he killed so many people, where were you? Why didn't you ask him to spare them?"

"Now that he's in trouble, you step out to tell us who seek retribution to lay down our weapons?"

"On what grounds?"

Dharma Seal Vajra looked at Jiang Fan, still with a faint smile: "Killing the Sky Demon Emperor, can it bring the deceased back to life?"

"Why add more bloodshed, incurring more karmic burdens?"

"You all view the Sky Demon Emperor as evil, yet he has laid down his knife to become Buddha, while you continue to raise your knives, are you not more evil than him?"

"Listen to my advice, it's best to break the cycle of revenge, each return and reflect."

"Do not give rise to the intent to kill, lest it breeds Heart Demon."

Such a silvery tongue seemed to leave them momentarily without words to refute.

Dharma Seal Vajra gave them no chance to rebut.

Putting his palms together, he said: "Distinguished guests, may we meet again."

With that, he transformed into a mass of golden light, enveloping the Sky Demon Emperor, taking him away from the earth.

The Sky Demon Emperor's face was full of a grim smile: "Haha, Jiang Fan, you can't kill me!"
