Chapter 242: Legend of the Demon Emperor
Such a powerful figure naturally attracted many followers. He gathered numerous experts, all at the Great Ascension stage, and set up a formation known as the Heaven-Sealing Absolute Earth Formation, touted as an upgraded version of the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation, capable of slaying experts at the Ascension Stage, and even hunting down celestial beings descending to the mortal realm.
As expected, he triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, flames engulfing him as thunder rolled ominously, his presence overwhelming the heavens and illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
A massive hand descended from the sky, pressing down on the Transcendence Stage Great Perfection expert. To everyone's astonishment, the one undergoing Transcend Tribulation let out a mighty roar, raising both palms to the heavens. Remarkably, he managed to block the gigantic hand that loomed like a mountain and even pulled it out of the clouds.
Some recognized him; it was said he was the master of the Consort of Rain, a woman renowned for her unparalleled talent over a millennium. His name was Sun Daoren.
Upon Sun Daoren's appearance, he was immediately besieged by countless experts from the cultivation world. However, none could match his strength in a single exchange. Eventually, someone lured Sun Daoren into the Heaven-Sealing Absolute Earth Formation. His power was so formidable that he could kill numerous experts outside the formation with ease. Yet, his arrogance led him to believe that nothing in this world could harm him.
Thus, the powerful Transmutation force of the Heaven-Sealing Absolute Earth Formation shattered Sun Daoren into pieces, leaving no remnants behind.
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in everyone's hearts as if proclaiming: "Dare to kill my spirit."
A gigantic club descended from above, instantly turning the Transcendence Stage Great Perfection cultivator into mush. The remaining experts fled in panic; however, that club suddenly shrank in size. A monkey's laughter rang out as one by one, they were dispatched with glee—much like a cruel child delighting in pricking ants on the ground with a needle. From that day forth, no one in the cultivation world dared to undergo Transcend Tribulation until the Divine Monkey departed from their realm.
While the Divine Monkey roamed the world, his aura suppressed countless paths, causing everyone's cultivation speed to slow down slightly. But after his departure, it was as if a veil had been lifted; countless cultivators suddenly found their enlightenment and began to advance rapidly. Secretly, many at the Tribulation Period began preparing for their own Transcend Tribulation after five hundred years of accumulation. They were all nearing the end of their lifespans; if they did not transcend soon, they would have no hope of survival.
Zhao Yang gazed at the Demon Queen's eyes and saw a majestic figure—a man standing proudly with demon kin guarding the Southern Domain Sky-reaching Forest—filled with both pride and concern.
It was evident that once the Demon Empress underwent Transcend Tribulation, regardless of success or failure, Azure Phoenix and he would be worlds apart. The path of cultivation was as challenging as ascending to heaven; achieving immortality was daunting enough to deter many cultivators. Aspirations were beautiful, yet reality always proved harsh.
"I believe in the Demon Empress. With her abilities, she should have a good chance of overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation," Zhao Yang comforted the Demon Queen. The Demon Empress was a formidable force, unmatched in power. Previously, he had been unable to breach her defenses even with the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula, a Forbidden Technique. Yet, he still felt uncertain because the true power of lightning was immense, reaching millions of volts, capable of turning everything to ashes.
The Demon Empress approached from afar, her arms full of Fire Spirit Fruits, resembling a joyful child. No one knew how deeply this imposing figure clad in a Purple Cloud Battle Robe, feared by all, loved the Demon Queen.
They once shared beautiful memories together, but now, Azure Phoenix had lost those recollections. All she knew was that there was a man who loved her deeply, willing to do anything for her, forgiving her no matter what mistakes she made.
At this moment, she was merely eight hundred years old and had not yet taken on human form. Her lifespan was still long; if calculated by the thousand-year lifespan of cultivators, she could live for at least another thousand years. However, her Demon Empress had only a few years left.
Thus, the Demon Queen felt anxious. Even though she did not yet love the Demon Empress deeply, love in this world is peculiar. Even if you forget someone, when they appear before you again, you cannot help but recognize them, accept them, and love them.
The Demon Empress once sought to conquer Zhongzhou and unify the world to provide for her people and ensure they lived well. However, before his death, the Old Demon Emperor repeatedly warned her not to provoke the Divine Monkey of Central Continent Buddha Palm Mountain. He suspected that this Divine Monkey might be from the heavenly realm and beyond human capability to confront.
Another reason for her restraint was due to the Demon Queen. From a young age, the Demon Empress had been competitive and ambitious. She possessed unparalleled talent and frightening intelligence akin to that of humans—an alarming trait.
The reason humanity has always dominated the world with supreme power and unmatched civilization is their ability to wield fire. They dared to descend from trees when they were mere monkeys and walk on two legs without sharp claws or robust physiques. Yet they could sharpen branches into deadly spears, design traps, and record their knowledge with special symbols to pass down to future generations.
This is humanity.
A fierce beast can tear apart a strong man with bare hands.
Yet a wild beast may not necessarily defeat a child holding a matchstick.
A child only needs a spark to set fire to the forest, potentially killing tens of thousands of beasts.
This is the wisdom of the human race, the origin of human civilization.
The Demon Empress was born with the same intelligence as humans, giving him an inherent advantage over others. He would take fewer detours and always think of the fastest paths to strengthen himself. Moreover, his innate talent was rare throughout history; the cultivation methods of the demon race posed no bottlenecks for him. He learned almost everything immediately and created his own path.
His cultivation speed astonished every demon. The Old Demon Emperor had four sons who were already adults and eager to take control of the demon race. However, the Old Demon Emperor favored the Little Prince, leading to numerous assassination attempts against him.
The Old Demon Emperor felt helpless; he knew it was his other sons behind these attempts. Yet, a father should never harm his own children, which was a basic understanding. He could not kill his other sons, so he sent the Little Prince far away to a region also controlled by demons.
As the Old Demon Emperor aged, he intended to transcend tribulation and ascend, but inadvertently fell victim to the schemes of his three sons. Eventually, the grown-up Little Prince returned as the current Demon Empress. The Demon Empress's combat power had reached an unparalleled level within the Demon Emperor Clan; even the Old Demon Emperor might not have been his match while alive. He was accompanied by a young and beautiful woman whose back occasionally revealed totems and wings as bright as dawn.
The two ventured into the Sky-Connecting Forest, where they fought fiercely against rebellious demons who fled in all directions. The Demon Empress displayed overwhelming power, single-handedly battling his three brothers and forcing them into retreat. He initially intended to show mercy but soon discovered that they aimed to kill the Demon Queen and Azure Phoenix. Ultimately, they captured her in Dreamland Manor, where she would remain trapped for three hundred years.
Furious, the Demon Empress showed no mercy and executed all demons involved in the assassination of the Old Demon Emperor. An Old Demon appeared, advising the Demon Empress that such actions would severely weaken their race and could lead to an invasion by Zhongzhou, risking their very existence.
However, the Demon Empress replied that he alone was sufficient for the combat power of their race.
In the end, the Demon Empress eradicated all those who had sided with his three brothers, leaving not a single one alive. For three hundred years, no formidable Great Demon emerged again.
