Yun Yang had once felt the Demonic Emperor's aura up close. The aura was truly beyond the level of any expert in this world. Even with Yun Yang's current cultivation base and ability level, Yun Yang thought that he would only have a thirty percent chance of winning if he were to fight the Demonic Emperor alone. Indeed, Yun Yang thought that he only had a thirty percent chance of winning!
However, the Demonic Emperor was roaring furiously, but he was being beaten back by Shangguan Lingxiu.
Yet, the Demonic Emperor was proud of his invincibility. He could not bring himself to ask for his subordinate's help when everyone was watching. He could only channel his demonic Qi with all his might, trying to salvage the situation.
However, what puzzled Yun Yang the most was not the fact that the Daemon Emperor was no match for Shangguan Lingxiu, but something else. The Daemon Emperor's current appearance was like a different person from the one he had seen the other day. If it were not for the yellow robe he was wearing and the aura that matched his combat power, Yun Yang would not have recognized him at all.
In the midst of the intense battle, the Demonic Emperor's face was aging rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His white hair fluttered, and some of his hair even fell off and flew away as he fought …
His face was withered and wrinkled, almost like a dying old man.
If he were to transform into a dragon, he would probably be an old, toothless dragon!
What exactly was going on?
Yun Yang turned to look and realized that the Phoenix Emperor had been keeping his distance. Although he would join in the battle from time to time, he had never come over. He had been keeping his distance from the Demonic Emperor since the beginning.
In fact, he had even stayed out of his sight.
Wherever the Phoenix Emperor passed, the Demonic Race was victorious. However, even when the Demonic Emperor was in trouble, the Phoenix Emperor and the experts of the Phoenix Clan did not seem to see him, only fighting where they were. The more the Demonic Emperor was in danger, the more the Phoenix Clan and the human experts were locked in battle.
Judging by the looks of it, they really could not spare a hand to save him!
This was something that would have been difficult to notice in a chaotic battlefield where millions of experts were fighting. However, when Yun Yang saw the Demonic Emperor in such a difficult situation, he instinctively felt that something was amiss.
Now that he saw the Phoenix Emperor and the Phoenix Clan's abnormal behavior, he realized the problem immediately.
As the saying goes, one small clue can reveal the general trend. After thinking about it, he faintly felt that there was probably something unusual about this, right?
Yun Yang frowned.
On the other side, the Demon King was also very confused!
With his level of cultivation, if he still couldn't sense that there was something wrong with his body, he would have lived his life in vain.
Ever since the start of the World Annihilation Strategy, he had never stopped. He tore through space, arranged an army, rushed to the Blood Soul Realm, gathered the army, and then immediately set off, crossing thousands of miles to descend upon the battlefield …
He felt that he was always at his peak, and he had absolute confidence in his body.
That was why he didn't have any doubts about his own condition during this hurried journey.
But when he came here and started fighting, he was shocked to find that there was something wrong with him!
An indescribable feeling of helplessness caused him to be restricted in all aspects.
For example, this human woman in front of him had a high cultivation base and special protective abilities, but her cultivation base was only enhanced by external forces.
This naturally led to many moves, many comprehensions, and many attacks … to have flaws. These were flaws that could only be eliminated after years of polishing!
The Demon Emperor could tell with a single glance.
As long as he could grasp any flaw, he was confident that he could kill this woman in an extremely short amount of time!
Others might be afraid of the woman's mystical light, but as the Demon Realm's Unrivaled Expert, he would not take it too seriously. After all, the Phoenix Emperor had broken through this mystical light once before. The Demon Emperor, who was confident in his offensive power, was more confident that he could succeed with a single strike.
However, when he saw the flaw and knew how to break through it, he knew how to attack. The truth was that he was powerless!
There were opportunities everywhere, but he could not grasp any of them and missed them all!
That was too terrifying!
The Demon Emperor was terrified!
He, who was known as the Unrivaled Expert, had stood at the pinnacle for far too long and had been invincible for far too long. Now that he had fallen into such a state, he did not know how to deal with it!
He was so terrified that he was out of his wits.
Realizing that he could not defeat the enemy and was even on the verge of defeat, he almost wanted to leave!
He could not afford to lose this face.
He wanted to escape from this battlefield.
He wanted to go back and check what had happened to him. What was wrong with his body?
As Shangguan Lingxiu's attacks grew fiercer, the Demon Emperor grew more and more panicked.
He could clearly sense that his overwhelming, indestructible demonic qi in the past was gradually drying up!
Drying up!
This was a terrifying thing.
To any cultivator, it was an extremely terrifying thing!
I'm in the prime of my life, and I have a cultivation base that has surpassed pinnacle Saint. I'm a half-step into the starry sky!
As long as my demonic soul is not destroyed, I'm an immortal existence. My demonic Qi will only be born endlessly, endless and endless!
How could my demonic Qi dry up?
The Demon Emperor resisted Shangguan Lingxiu's attack with all his might, but he could not evade in time, whether it was because he was distracted or because he was too weak, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Shangguan Lingxiu's sword. The Demon Emperor could only feel a piercing pain as his protective demonic Qi was pierced through, leaving a bloody hole in his shoulder!
He had been pierced through?!
The Spirit Demon Emperor was stunned and retreated a hundred feet. He turned his head and looked at his shoulder in disbelief.
Even Yun Yang's saber, widely acknowledged as the sharpest in the continent, could not have pierced through his shoulder!
What was going on?
He tilted his head, the hair on his shoulder falling in front of his eyes.
The Demon Emperor was stunned.
That snow-white … withered hair, the hair that had no sign of life … was mine?
Shocked by the realization, he stood in the air, dumbfounded.
Shangguan Lingxiu was not idling. She had a clear understanding of her own capabilities and knew that the Demon Emperor before her was not an expert that she could match. She could not afford to attack with all her might, so she dared not be distracted. She would not miss the opportunity when her enemy faltered. Only God knew if there would be another chance like this in the future. Seventeen consecutive slashes struck the Demon Emperor's left eye, forehead, heart, right chest, dantian, throat, back of his head, temple … so many vital points were all struck!
Yes, every single one of them had been struck without a single mistake!
Fresh blood splattered everywhere.
The Demon Sovereign seemed to have awoken from a dream, and he let out a series of heart-wrenching screams. He desperately pushed his demonic qi to retreat thousands of feet, and used all his cultivation to recover from his injuries. But just as his body recovered, he staggered and almost fell into the sea below!
It was fine that he had not used his pinnacle power, but now that he had used it, the Demon Emperor's heart sank to the bottom!
His life force had truly been drained!
Not only was his physical vitality drained, his soul was withering as well. There was only a thin layer of his deific consciousness left as well!
The last bit of energy, the last bit of demonic energy, had been used by him to heal his body just now. In other words, there was not a single drop of demonic Qi left in his body now. He was completely and utterly exhausted!
This was a condition even worse than being out of breath and Yuan Qi being exhausted. It was so bad that it couldn't be any worse!
The Demon Emperor struggled to stand in the air, his entire body trembling.
Suddenly, he turned back as if he had thought of something. Staring at the silhouette that was emitting a blazing white light, he roared with all his might, "Phoenix Emperor!"
His voice was trembling.
In his roar, there was endless fear, terror and disbelief!
The Phoenix Emperor seemed to have heard the roar and turned to look at him. His gaze seemed to meet the Demon Emperor's from afar, but then he started fighting with the human experts beside him. As he moved, he got further and further away from them. Then, with a spatial tear, he disappeared completely.
The Demon Emperor seemed to have understood something. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His entire body was cold and trembling.
He raised his hand. His arm was skinny and there was only a layer of wrinkled skin attached to the bones. It looked like a chicken claw that had not been completely dried.
The Demon Emperor roared and struggled to rise up, revealing his true form in the air.
It was supposed to be a majestic Golden Dragon descending from the heavens, majestic and awe-inspiring!
However, what was reflected in the eyes of the people fighting was this old golden dragon. He opened his mouth and roared, and the dragon teeth in his mouth actually fell off.
The Demon Emperor was completely dumbfounded.
Even if he was a dragon that had died of old age, his body was still very strong. At least his teeth would still remain on his body and would not fall off on their own! Even if he had been tempered by wind and frost for thousands of years, his teeth would still remain on his body, strong and sharp!
But I … I have not died of old age yet. I am still in my prime. But why did my teeth fall off on their own …
Even his ability to fly in the air … was gradually being lost.
The Demon Emperor felt his body falling down like a rock …
"Emperor!"
The Golden Dragon Great Elder and the Green Dragon Great Elder were in the middle of the battle. When they saw this, they roared in disbelief.
The Demon Emperor fell down in a daze.
He had already guessed that this was the doing of the Phoenix Emperor. But how did he do it?
What was the reason?
He could not figure it out. He could not figure it out!
Everything was fine. It had only been two days. Two days ago, no!
More accurately speaking, it should be one and a half days ago. He was still in charge of the World Annihilation Stratagem …
At that time, he was still at his peak, invincible!
World Annihilation Stratagem!
These three words suddenly came to the Demon Emperor's mind.
These three words allowed him to regain some of his sanity. He forcefully reverted to his human form and hovered in the air above the sea.
The burden of transforming into his true form was too great. His current demonic energy could no longer bear it.
With a flash, Shangguan Lingxiu appeared before the Demon Emperor and raised her long sword …
The Demon Emperor lifted his head abruptly and said to Shangguan Lingxiu with a frown, "Give me some time. I need to sort some things out."
"…"
The Demon Emperor's voice was steady yet calm, with a hint of resoluteness that did not allow for rejection.
