Master of the Demon Emperor

Atop the mountain peak, Su Yie stood facing a half-human-high eagle.

The Demon Emperor missing?

Su Yie frowned and asked, "What about the Demon Emperor's subordinates?"

"Those who died, died; those who fled, fled. The Demon Emperor was either killed or has already fled."

The eagle replied truthfully. It was merely a cultivation formed from a Demon Core, with limited spiritual wisdom, unable to think any deeper.

Su Yie waved his hand, signaling it could leave.

Had the Demon Emperor really retreated?

Whether he had retreated or not, it was time for Yaojian Mountain to expand!

By today, the number of Demon Soldiers under his command had reached two hundred thousand, especially after the battle with Lang Huaxin, which led many monsters to admire Su Yie and voluntarily come to pledge allegiance.

That day, he summoned all the Great Demons of Yaojian Mountain to meet in the Demon Lord Tower.

"The mysterious disappearance of the Demon Emperor is our opportunity. Next, we continue to maintain our offensive stance. If you encounter a Divine Power Demon King, come to me, or go to Luo Zhenhai or the Crimson Flame Lion King. Our goal is to dominate the Land of the Hundred Ridges, and then you may all claim kingship!"

As Su Yie tapped the tabletop, pausing after each phrase, his voice was quiet, lacking incitement, yet it made the demons' blood boil.

Dominate the Land of the Hundred Ridges!
Experience more on empire

This was a goal they dared not even think about!

"With our current strength... aren't we being a bit overambitious?"

Chi Tianyi couldn't help but ask, his expression somewhat hesitant. Su Yie, strong as he was, was only comparable to a Divine Power Demon King. But in the grand scheme of the Land of the Hundred Ridges, what was a Divine Power Demon King?

"Just follow the orders! I'll support the sky if it falls!"

Su Yie waved his hand. The most important reason he was so daringly waging war was that he wanted to become stronger.

He needed to make good use of his physique and grow stronger by absorbing Demon Cores crazily.

Otherwise, he would be surpassed by Nan Xiaopao.

It must be said, Nan Xiaopao's Sacred Body of Qiling had given him considerable pressure.

A man's pride did not allow him to slow down.

Most crucially, he had already regarded the Xuanyuan Human Emperor as a hypothetical adversary, as well as Di Jun and Tai Yie. He had to become stronger rapidly before the clash between the two clans began.

Afterward, Su Yie also discussed some details of the plan.

When most Shape-Shifting Great Demons left, they were surging with excitement, almost visualizing themselves standing over the Land of the Hundred Ridges.

No sooner had Su Yie walked out of the Demon Lord Tower than Luo Zhenhai came looking for him.

"My blade skills have improved. I feel I could match you in a battle!"

Luo Zhenhai got straight to the point, stating his purpose.

Su Yie nodded and said, "Draw your blade!"

Luo Zhenhai held the blade in his left hand and frowned as he asked, "Here?"

"Hmm!"

Su Yie nodded, the Zhou Wu Sword appearing in his right hand and the Heartbreaking Sword in his left, clasping both swords with sword intent immediately visible.

Luo Zhenhai's pupils contracted, and he asked in astonishment, "You've practiced the two-handed sword?"

Su Yie nodded indifferently, an expression of calm breeziness about him.

Luo Zhenhai took a deep breath and turned to walk away.

Decisive!

Su Yie was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and chuckled.

This incident was witnessed by the birds in the sky and quickly spread throughout Yaojian Mountain.

The Demon Lord brandished the two-handed sword and intimidated the one-armed Blade Wanderer Luo Zhenhai into retreating.

For a time, Su Yie's image rose even higher in the minds of the monsters.

Su Yie once again focused on his cultivation.

Every day, a continuous stream of Demon Cores was delivered to him; he had no need to worry about other matters.

Wux Qingyao was not in a rush to return either. Rarely having the chance to live among the Demon Clan for a period, she found it very interesting and hoped to gain some insights into her state of mind.

It's worth mentioning that after Li Huahun went to Abyssal Valley to trouble Shangguan Wuji, the matter mysteriously settled down. Later, when Shangguan Wuji chatted with Li Huahun, he was extremely respectful, even to the point of fawning, which made the members of Emperor Su's Sect very curious about Li Huahun's identity.

If he could subdue Shangguan Wuji, Li Huahun had to be very strong!

Why hadn't they heard of him?

Could he be a powerhouse from another region?

The Ancient Wilderness was vast, with the Seven Dynasties and the Land of the Hundred Ridges making up just a corner of it.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month had passed.

Su Yie finally encountered his breakthrough moment.

His demonic power had already surpassed that of the Shape-Shifting Great Demon, yet he couldn't break through his current realm.

Understanding his own Divine Skills was crucial for his future path.

He decided to develop his Divine Skills based on the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps.

In his view, speed was something that could not be overlooked.

The Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword was inherently fast, but his Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps could not achieve long-distance rapid movement.

If he could comprehend the long-distance Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, both his combat and escape abilities would be significantly enhanced.

Atop the mountain peak.

He rapidly shifted within a hundred meters, his figure ghostly and elusive, difficult to track with the naked eye.

At the same time, the Spiritual Energy of Yaojian Mountain was gathering towards him.

The ten thousand monsters on the mountain all looked up, only to see dark clouds suddenly gathering above the main peak.

Cultivation was inherently defying the heavens, and ever since becoming a Shape-Shifting Great Demon, every breakthrough would bring about a Heavenly Tribulation.

Midway up the mountain, Wux Qingyao looked up, a trace of amazement flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Su Yie's realm had already surpassed hers.

She remembered Emperor Su once said, just a few months ago, Su Yie was merely a mortal.

Lightning flashed, thunder roared, the storm was about to start.

Green waves rose across the grasslands, with countless small creatures hurrying to seek shelter.

Su Yie continued to move with his eyes closed, his speed increasing, as he recalled the teachings of the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps over and over.

With a bang!

A bolt of lightning struck down!

Su Yie skillfully dodged it, though even if he didn't, with the protection of the Black Jiao King Robe, he could successfully transcend the tribulation.

Just as Su Yie was undergoing his tribulation, a dark line appeared at the end of the grasslands.

Upon closer inspection, countless monsters were heading towards Yaojian Mountain, led by the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor sat within a palanquin carried by four robust Bear Demons, all eagerly fixing their gaze on Yaojian Mountain.

"Hmph, so he's breaking through, tough luck for him!"

The Demon Emperor muttered to himself, fuming with rage when he thought of Su Yie daring to rob his Demon Treasury.

He had trusted Su Yie so much, even considering nurturing him.

But at a critical moment, Su Yie had stabbed him in the back.

Unbearable!

At the same time, the sentinels on Yaojian Mountain noticed the enemy attack and hurriedly sounded the war horn.

The monsters immediately prepared for battle.

"So many demons! Which Demon King is it?"

"This Demon Qi... so terrifying..."

"Wait! Is that the Demon Emperor?"

"The Demon Emperor? Really! Look at the enemy's flags!"

"My God, it really is the Demon Emperor!"

When they recognized it was the Demon Emperor's army, they were all terrified, as in the Land of the Hundred Ridges, the Demon Emperor was considered supreme.

Despite Su Yie consistently claiming he would slay the Demon Emperor, to other monsters, it seemed an impossible feat.

They thought the Demon Emperor had fled, but unexpectedly, he had regathered his forces and was now advancing towards their Yaojian Mountain, how could they not panic?

Atop the mountain peak.

Su Yie also noticed the Demon Emperor's Demon Qi, but he did not take it to heart, with the Divine Shadow Legion ready to be deployed at any moment.

Let's see how many rounds the Demon Emperor can withstand!

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Bolts of Mysterious Thunder struck down one after another, causing the main peak to tremble, and rocks to continuously fall.

"Demon Lord, come out and kneel!"

The Demon Emperor suddenly spoke, his voice like thunder, resonating across the entire grassland.
