The Fox Empress harrumphed coldly, filled with disdain. However, when she saw the Demon Emperor's withered face, she did not say anything worse. However, after she put away all the corpses of her personal guards, she turned around and left without looking back. She only left behind one sentence.
"I have done all that I have done for the Fox Clan. Next, it's time for us to find a place to live with a clear conscience. We cannot stay in the Demon Clan any longer. From now on, we will no longer be the Demon Clan. "
After saying that, he swaggered off.
The next moment, the Fox Empress and the Cat Queen appeared on the battlefield again. The swords in their hands shone with a cold light, and they started a massacre. And the sword light was directed at the Demon Clan!
A Silver Dragon Saint shouted, "Fox Empress and Cat Queen, you were born a Demon, and you have been a Demon all your life. Why are you turning against us?!"
The Fox Empress and the Cat Queen laughed coldly, "When you forced Nine Lives and Nine Tails to their deaths, did you ever think that they were also Demons? Demons who had sacrificed so much for the Demon Clan!"
With a few cold laughs, he had already disappeared without a trace. However, he had already changed directions and began his massacre once more!
The Demon Emperor sat on the back of the Golden Dragon and looked at the gray sky in a daze. He muttered, "Is the Phoenix Emperor not here yet?"
The few demon race Sages and dragon race experts nearby were confused when they heard that.
They clearly did not realize what had happened. But the Phoenix Emperor had not come yet, and it was even after the Demon Emperor had sent out a special summon. Something was not right.
"Maybe … the Phoenix Emperor is in a tough battle and is being held back by the human experts. He cannot come …"
When the Golden Dragon Grand Elder said this, even he did not believe it!
In the world, if the Phoenix Emperor wanted to leave, who could hold him back?
Not a single one!
The fact that he had not come after such a long time could only mean one thing: he did not want to come!
That was all!
The Demon Emperor suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that he could not catch his breath, but he did not stop laughing.
During this short period of waiting, his life force did not improve because he had stopped fighting. Instead, it continued to decline. Now, he was truly on the verge of exhaustion. It was a state where his life force was completely exhausted, with only a tiny bit left. He could die at any moment.
But correspondingly, his mind was unusually clear, unprecedentedly clear!
His memory was especially good.
It was to the extent that practically all the major and minor events in his life had been recalled by him. Scene after scene rose and fell like a white steed flashing past a crevice, and many of the things that were wrong and unreasonable were clearly displayed before his eyes, as clear as a blazing fire!
The Demon Emperor smiled bitterly.
He was laughing at himself. Why had his brain never worked so well before?
The past flashed past his mind like a clear stream, quietly flowing by.
All the mysteries, tricks, and illogicalities had all been answered at this moment.
"Brother Feng … As expected of the wisest person in the world!"
The Demon Emperor heaved a long sigh. His voice was filled with admiration, without the slightest bit of resentment.
"I, the leader of the demon race, Dragon Emperor Yulong Tian, have been tricked by you my entire life and never had the slightest suspicion. It's my foolishness, but it's my honor …"
The Demon Emperor guffawed until he coughed blood.
"Send another order, ask him to come here!" The Demon Emperor said, "Tell him that I don't hate him, not at all. I just want to talk to him now and pour my heart out."
The few Dragon Saints left immediately to search for the Phoenix Emperor.
The Demon Emperor looked at Yun Yang and said faintly, "Lord Supreme Cloud, are you interested in listening to my life?"
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Of course I'd like to."
"I'll head over first then," Shangguan Lingxiu said.
"Alright. I'll stay here and chat with Your Majesty. I'm really curious about Your Majesty's legendary life, "said Yun Yang.
Shangguan Lingxiu glanced at him in disdain and rolled her eyes before she left.
Was Yun Yang interested in the Demon Emperor's life?
Interest my * ss!
From the Demon Emperor's behavior and Yun Yang's own knowledge of the demon race, he had already guessed about fifty to sixty percent of the connection between the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor was obviously a shield placed by the Phoenix Emperor. All the good and bad things were shouldered by the Dragon Emperor alone. The Dragon Emperor gained fame while the Phoenix Emperor gained tangible benefits. It was only now that the Dragon Emperor realized the truth. He knew that everything he held in his hands was an illusion. He had been manipulated by the Phoenix Emperor all his life, thinking that they were good friends for life. How could he have known that the Phoenix Emperor had treated him like a tool?
In spite of this, Yun Yang could not ignore it and he dared not say that he did not want to listen. Now that the Dragon Emperor was about to die, how could he maximize the benefits of his death? He could even use his death to settle this hopeless battle. Of course, he had to seize the opportunity to build a good relationship.
With the Demon Emperor's withdrawal from the battle, almost all the Dragon Race's combat power slowly gathered here. Without the Dragon Race, the pinnacle of the Demon Race, the pressure on the Bound of Universe's side was reduced.
It was especially so now that the Phoenix Emperor was unwilling to show himself. On the sea tribe's side, the Sea Emperor's ability was greatly reduced due to his heavy injuries and Prime Minister Turtle was dead. It was a leaderless situation, which naturally made the human race's battle line much more secure.
Although Yun Yang knew that this was only temporary and that the Dragon Race would still have to participate in the battle once the Demon Emperor died, it was already a great advantage for the humans to be able to temporarily trap almost half of the Demon Race's high-end combat power here.
What the humans lacked now was time. Only by dragging it out until the Tiger Emperor and the rest could the humans have a chance of winning. Therefore, Yun Yang hoped that this situation could be maintained for as long as possible!
Although doing so would also implicate him, Ji Lingxi, Shangguan Lingxiu, Dongfang Haoran, and the rest were still free and could come to their aid.
Having lost the Dragon Race's hundreds of Saints as their high-end opponents, these people were invincible and could greatly reduce the pressure on the human race.
Furthermore, Yun Yang had overstepped the limit twice. First, he had forcefully assisted the water force to ambush the Demon Army, and second, he had used his life's energy to accelerate the growth of the mountain range. He had actually suffered a great deal of damage. Now, he was just barely holding on. Was it not better to take the opportunity to recover his energy?
Therefore, Yun Yang really wished that the Demon Emperor could chat with him, the longer the better.
If he could chat for three to five to seven days, the outcome of this battle might be reversed.
The longer he dragged it out, the higher the chances of Emperor Roc and the rest rushing over, and the stronger his side would be.
The only threat was the Phoenix Emperor. Although his ability had increased greatly, at least he was not much of a threat at the moment, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
Yun Yang secretly calculated the current combat power of both sides and was surprised to find that only the Deer Emperor, the Horse Emperor, and the Serpent Emperor were still holding on on the side of the Demon Race and the Sea Race. The Sea Race had the advantage in numbers, but the Sea Emperor, their ultimate combat power, was in a half-crippled state. The rest of the Whale King, Shark King, and King Deng were only high-level Saints, so they were not a threat.
Such a situation was something that Yun Yang could not even dream of.
The Demon Emperor smiled faintly and opened his eyes. Looking at the fiery battlefield, he said with a smile, "I've been willful all my life, and most of it was for today. I didn't expect to be willful again at such a critical moment."
Yun Yang, along with the Saint experts of the Demon Race and Dragon Race, understood what he meant.
The Demon Emperor knew very well that he was telling a story here and delaying so many experts from participating in the battle. It was not only detrimental to the Demon Race's millennium-long plan, but it could also cause a destructive blow.
However, he still did it. If he was willful, then so be it. It was the end anyway!
"If I didn't keep them here, what would you do? Would you still be interested in listening to my rambling? "The Demon Emperor asked Yun Yang with great interest.
Yun Yang smiled and said, "I've always thought that Your Majesty is arbitrary and that your words are the law. It's obvious that Your Majesty is a sensible person. If Your Majesty wishes to recall the past, how can there be no price? At the very least, I'll immediately snatch the Oceanic Divine Staff and suppress the Sea Race. This is my top priority and goal."
"The Phoenix Emperor is guilty and doesn't dare to come over. With Your Majesty's current strength, including the surrounding defenses, you can't stop me from snatching the Oceanic Divine Staff or doing anything for me."
Yun Yang smiled calmly and said, "So, let's benefit each other. After all, it's up to you to decide who will benefit more from this conversation. However, I'm still inclined to listen to Your Majesty's story. "
The Demon Emperor shook his head and chuckled. "Is it because I'm lamenting that the Phoenix Emperor is the wisest and that Supreme Cloud is unwilling? Of course, this conversation is beneficial to all of you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. "
Yun Yang's expression did not change. "It seems that Your Majesty's mind is extremely clear. However, our situation is still not optimistic. "
The Demon Emperor said faintly, "That can't be helped. Human beings are too weak, but it's not that you and Dongfang are too weak. Facing the current dire situation, I believe that Supreme Cloud knows what to do. The reason why humans have fallen to this state is all because the Crimson Soul Mountain is too sturdy. It's just that you, the pinnacle of human strength, have protected the ordinary humans so well. "
Yun Yang smiled noncommittally and did not speak.
"The Demon Race. Every fighting demon knows from birth that the ultimate mission of the Demon Race is to counterattack the Bound of Universe. Therefore, every Demon Race citizen's entire life is a process of survival of the fittest. There's no peace to speak of. Those who can survive are either cunning or strong enough. "
The Demon Emperor said tiredly, "Those who are talented in cultivation are constantly in danger of death since they start cultivating. If they don't become stronger, they'll die."
"At least in this aspect, they're completely different from you humans."
"Therefore, once the Crimson Soul Mountain no longer exists, the Demon Race will have the absolute advantage. It's irreversible."
"If the Crimson Soul Mountain exists forever, then humans will naturally be at peace. This is also the fundamental reason why we're willing to sacrifice the lives of twenty billion martial artists to carry out the Strategy of Annihilation! "
"You're only able to live peacefully in the Bound of Universe because of the favoritism of the gods and rulers."
"Only you humans don't cherish this gift. What's wrong with us replacing it?"
Yun Yang had initially planned to play along and listen to the Demon Emperor's last words. He did not expect the Demon Emperor to be so insistent and talk nonsense.
He could not help but ask, "Why don't we humans cherish it?"
