Master of the Demon Emperor

"No, I want to see Li Huahun, the one with the Hongmeng Killing Intent. Remember his name."

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head slightly. He deliberately paused on the name Li Huahun, causing the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation to feel a chill in his heart.

Li Huahun... Li Huahun...

The Venerable Lord of Reincarnation repeated the name in his heart. He believed the Heavenly Emperor's words were meant to alert him.

Ren Woxiao slowly stood up and shrugged at the Heavenly Emperor, smiling: "I suppressed his killing intent for nearly ten thousand years and now I've completely released it. I fear that later, I will be unable to control it."

The Heavenly Emperor's smile faded, and he said: "This is his mission. Only by being pushed to the brink of death and then reborn can he escape his fate and qualify for true freedom."

Upon hearing this, Ren Woxiao took a deep breath and then asked: "Was it truly a coincidence that Tian Cheng Divine Monarch, Su Yie, and Li Huahun gathered together?"

Li Huahun being with Su Yie was his arrangement, but not Tian Cheng Divine Monarch.

Once every ten thousand years, they have to battle to the death.

The Heavenly Emperor calmly said: "For a long time I have planned to select the strongest among my children. However, becoming the strongest is not a good thing, because I will give them a mission beyond mortal imagination. For them, it may be a curse."

"My children possess the greatest talents and help, but if under such conditions they still aren't as strong as others, I will kill them and give the mission to the strongest."

Upon hearing these words, Ren Woxiao, the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation, and the Prison Tower Lord were all shocked.

They were very curious about this mission, but they didn't dare ask more.

The Heavenly Emperor's vision always surpassed theirs, unimaginable to them.

"If that's the case, why nurture Su Yie? Does the Heavenly Emperor intend to drive his own children to despair?"

Ren Woxiao frowned, even feeling that the Heavenly Emperor was somewhat cruel.

As long as someone surpassed all his children, all the Emperor's children would have to die?

Perhaps in the Emperor's eyes, the equality of all beings is not empty rhetoric.

"Go and teach Li Huahun. He's too weak. How can he compete with Su Yie and Tian Cheng in the future?"

The Heavenly Emperor calmly said, and upon hearing this, Ren Woxiao immediately disappeared from where he stood.

The Venerable Lord of Reincarnation rose carefully and said: "Besides those three, there are other Heavenly Prides in the Lost Realm. Their backgrounds are not simple."

"Including your pieces, right?"

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation with a half-smile.

The Venerable Lord of Reincarnation felt embarrassed, not knowing how to respond.

"Give it your all, even if it's by any means necessary. Strive to win. Your father has accompanied me through countless epochs ever since before the opening of Hongmeng. Don't disappoint me."

After leaving these words, the Heavenly Emperor disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.

It was as if the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation had been struck by lightning, standing dazed.

After a long time, he murmured: "First there was the Heavenly Emperor, then there was the Dao. Before Hongmeng opened, there was Ren Woxiao..."

"Reincarnation has no end, only the Heavenly Emperor endures..."

"Heavenly Emperor, what exactly are you planning?"

The Prison Tower Lord beside him shivered, bowing his head even lower.

...

On this day, Su Yie's group of three rested at the foot of a mountain.

The annual Divine Sect Upgrade had arrived. Su Yie fell into hesitation once more: who should he promote?

The Black Tiger Emperor and Wux Qingyao were both among the first members of Emperor Su's Sect.

Although the Black Tiger Emperor contributed the Zhou Wu Sword, it was like handing over a hot potato, and he freely offered common cultivation techniques of the Demon Clan to Emperor Su's Sect, showing no sincerity.

Hmm!

He decided to upgrade Wux Qingyao first.

He immediately announced this news within Emperor Su's Sect, causing excitement throughout the sect.

Now, Demon Lord Qing Yan was gaining fame in Chaos, possessing the cultivation of Yang Duzai. He began to stand up for members such as Shangguan Wuji, Li Zuxuan, and He Youming from the original Myriad Demon Court, showcasing the prestige of a Demon Lord through battle after battle with unstoppable force.

The Divine Sect Upgrade had become the most anticipated event for the members of Su Imperial Clan!

More so than the Divine Shadow Legion!

Black Tiger Emperor: Hahaha! The next turn is for Lord Tiger! Dear Sect Leader Grandpa, no matter how strong I get, I'll always be your loyal follower!

Supreme Dragon Shaking: Sigh, I desperately want to become stronger. When will there be another Sect's Bounty?

Wux Qingyao: Thank you, Sect Leader, for your recognition.

Imperial Deathstroke: At this rate, when will it be my turn?

Sun Qitian: Resurrect first, then we'll talk.

Zhuge Wolong: Hahaha, the Sect Leader is indeed great. Instead of just recruiting the powerful, he is willing to help the old members improve their cultivation. Such magnanimity is worthy of our lifelong dedication.

...

"Su Yie! Su Yie! Sister Wux has earned the chance for a Divine Sect Upgrade!"

Nan Xiaopao excitedly shook Su Yie's arm as she spoke.

Su Yie shook his head and laughed, while initiating the Divine Sect Upgrade for Wux Qingyao in his mind.

A moment later, he learned that Wux Qingyao had chosen the Divine Shadow.

The Celestial Martial Emperor!

The Supreme Second Generation within Emperor Su's Sect!

Despite his lavish behavior in the battle with the Chaos Imperial Clan, the Celestial Martial Emperor still possessed great cultivation, as a former War God of the Heavenly Court, naturally powerful.

After betraying the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Martial Emperor managed to break out encirclement, not merely relying on his relationship with the Emperor Ming.

It's said that the Emperor Ming was domineering, not tolerating even a speck of sand in his eyes.

Once this news reached Su Imperial Clan, the Celestial Martial Emperor became arrogant, claiming that Wux Qingyao now had a meteoric rise and could henceforth roam freely.

For a time, the Su Imperial Clan began discussing the Divine Sect Upgrade.

They speculated on who would be the luckiest to obtain a Divine Shadow.

The Jidao Sect could rival the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"Sister Wux has become so powerful, now you have another strong backing," Nan Xiaopao teased Su Yie with a playful smile. As a woman, she could clearly sense Wux Qingyao's feelings even if unspoken.

Su Yie rolled his eyes and retorted, "What are you talking about? Do I need any backing? I rely on myself!"

"Sister Wux is excellent. It would be great to have her on my side. But I must become the greatest!"

Nan Xiaopao hummed, a smile appearing on her face. After all, Wux Qingyao was as close as a sister to her. If Su Yie ever dared to fool around, the two women could join forces.

Su Yie didn't respond. Matters of affection were the last thing he wanted to consider.

With more women, he would only be more distracted and concerned, hindering his progress.

After chatting for a while, they stood up and continued forward.

Su Lingding could now fly and walk, but still couldn't speak.

Given her talent, it was remarkable that she could cultivate purely by instinct, but for some reason, she still couldn't talk or experience an explosive increase in spiritual wisdom.

Half a year passed before Wux Qingyao's inheritance was complete.

The first thing she did upon completion was to thank Emperor Su. The second was to teleport to Su Yie's side.

"Wux Qingyao requests teleportation to Su Yie's side, do you agree?"

Faced with this teleportation request in his mind, Su Yie's mouth twitched slightly.

Should he let Wux Qingyao come?

If she came, Nan Xiaopao and Su Lingding would be safer.

But her arrival would spare Su Yie much hardship, slowing his growth in strength.
