The Sea King had broken down.
'I'm going to die because of you!'
"Playing with me? Demon Race, if all of you don't give me an explanation today, I'll teach you a lesson! "
The Sea King, who was clamoring, almost wanted to cry internally.
He watched as his loyal guards stood in front of him one by one. In order to protect him, they were brutally slaughtered. Batches of them rushed forward and died. Countless corpses littered the ground.
Yet, they still charged forward without regret and were killed just to reduce some of the pressure on him. As the ruler of the sea clan, how could he not be moved? How could he not be grief-stricken?
It was not that the Shark King, Whale King, and the rest of the sea clansmen did not want to come to his rescue. Each of them fought with their lives, wanting to charge over, but they were blocked by Shangguan Lingxiu, Python Jiu, and Beigong Liuli. Shangguan Lingxiu, in particular, blocked the sea clansmen by herself.
In the end, the Sea King was almost fighting on the sea clansmen's corpses. Countless sea clansmen's corpses piled up into a small hill around him!
"Pity the good men of the sea clan …" The Sea King howled, his eyes wide. "Demon Emperor, Phoenix Emperor! You must give me an explanation today … Where are your demon experts? Are they all dead? Demon Emperor, Phoenix Emperor, you are all … shameless! "
The Sea King, who was getting more and more difficult to deal with, was almost going to show his true colors …
…
However, the Sea Emperor did not know that the Demon Emperor could no longer hear him. If he wanted the Demon Emperor to give him an explanation, the Sea Emperor would have to go to the Void World to search for it. Of course, that was under the premise that he could find it.
As for the Phoenix Emperor, he was fighting with the saints of the demon race and the demon experts who were gathered together. How could he have the time or interest to bother with the Sea King?
Sea King … what was that? Why would he have the time to bother with him?
The Black Dragon Elder was recounting the Demon Emperor's death with tears streaming down his face.
How he had been used by the Phoenix Emperor all his life, how he had been toyed with and schemed against by the Phoenix Emperor, how he had carried out the Apocalyptic Strategy to wipe out the parts that were detrimental to the Demon Emperor … causing the Demon Emperor to suffer the most extreme backlash of the Apocalyptic Strategy and die.
A lifetime of tragedy, a lifetime of manipulation, a lifetime of loyalty, yet he had been schemed against …
One had to admit that the Black Dragon Grand Elder was quite eloquent.
This accusation was full of emotion, and tears streamed down his aged face.
Even Yun Yang, who was listening from the side, felt that the Demonic Emperor's life was unusually righteous. Whenever it was the Demonic Emperor's fault, no matter the reason, whether it was related to the Phoenix Emperor or not, it was all pinned on the Phoenix Emperor's head, especially the part where the Dragon Emperor was used by the Phoenix Emperor. The Demonic Emperor had been described in detail and embellished, making it even more bizarre than the truth. It was obvious that the Phoenix Emperor was extremely vicious and despicable.
Throughout the entire process, the Phoenix Empress remained silent as she listened. She didn't say a single word in rebuttal.
His figure stood there like a mountain, but there was an indescribable desolation in his back view.
In terms of eloquence and in terms of controlling people's hearts, the Black Dragon Elder was at most not bad. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Emperor was an expert in this field. At the very least, he was a great grandmaster. He had too many ways to make the Black Dragon Elder shut up. He also had enough charm in his words to rewrite the current situation and divert the topic. Furthermore, he had absolute martial power to stop everything before him.
However, he still didn't move.
He just watched as the Black Dragon Elder spoke, allowing the situation to develop in a direction that was most disadvantageous to him.
There was an inexplicable sense of distance in his expression.
In the beginning, he was really like this. For his own desires, he would do anything to achieve them.
What couldn't he make use of in this world? What couldn't he make use of? What couldn't he be of help to him?
He had calculated everything in the world!
The Demon Emperor and Long Yutian were only pawns. They were all within his control. That was all.
But … when did it start to change?
Had he really started to treat the Demon Emperor as a brother, as a friend?
Had he not been scheming against him, using whatever he could, leading him to a dead end, pushing him towards it with all his might?
Then why could he be so open with his heart and talk about everything?
The Demon Emperor's carefree and unguarded laughter when he drank … seemed to appear before his eyes again.
On one hand, he was secretly delighted as he was one step closer to his goal.
On the other hand, his heart was filled with guilt and pain, and he wanted to stop his plan …
When did all these start?
Wouldn't it be better if I had always been selfish, cold and heartless?
Why did I have to have such weird feelings, making my state of mind unstable and filled with distracting thoughts?
The Demon Emperor was not a good emperor at all. He was not even a good friend, let alone a good brother.
He had too many weaknesses. If he did not have ulterior motives, no one would be able to tolerate him!
Not a single one!
He was obviously just a trash, why would I be upset and even waver because of him …
Could it be that the Demon Emperor had moved me?
The Demon Emperor had a strong personality and had many weaknesses. He was also temperamental, which resulted in him having very few friends. It was almost impossible for him to make friends.
But those whom he recognized as friends, he would treat them wholeheartedly, without any distracting thoughts.
Although in some dangerous situations, the Demon Emperor would choose his brothers and friends to protect them; but it could not be denied that he would treat those friends with sincerity.
In other words, he was an extremely conflicted emperor!
Now, he was no longer here!
The target that I had schemed and schemed against for tens of thousands of years … was finally gone …
She was gone forever!
…
The Black Dragon in front of him was still pointing at him and barking … but the Phoenix Emperor did not care about what he was saying.
At this moment, his thoughts were far away, and he had already floated beyond the clouds.
You hate me now, right?
Otherwise, you would not have told me so clearly what you had comprehended before you died. What the Black Dragon Elder did was probably your last wish!
Alright then …
You hate me so much, I will do one last thing for you.
Let your death no longer be a secret.
Let your hatred spread throughout the world.
So that you won't die without knowing the reason behind it.
Want to announce it?
Then announce it.
They could say whatever they wanted …
The Phoenix Emperor pondered in a daze.
But I will not die, Long Yutian.
I will only soar above the clouds and find the ancient tribes. I will become a true expert of the universe.
That's the biggest dream I've ever had in this life.
I will completely forget you in the long baptism of time.
When I look back on the past and think of you occasionally, I can only smile faintly … At that time, I would have already reached a whole new realm.
Adieu, my friend, my brother.
I am sorry!
…
Many experts of the Phoenix race gradually could not hold it in and became restless.
In their opinion, the Demon Emperor was dead, so be it. Now that the Demon race and humans were at war, the Demon race needed a powerful emperor to hold the fort. And the emperor who would take over the Demon race could only be the Phoenix Emperor. There was no doubt about it!
In the entire Demon race, who could convince the masses more than the Phoenix Emperor, and be more suitable to be the Demon Emperor?!
What does the Dragon race mean by saying this? Even if we use our butts to think, we can figure it out!
Is it because the Demon Emperor is dead, but you still want to hold on to the title of the orthodox Demon race? Because you are afraid that our Wind Emperor will seize power, you want to discredit our Phoenix Emperor first?
"Nonsense!" An elder of the Phoenix Clan finally couldn't help but speak, "Who doesn't know that the Demon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor have been very close for tens of thousands of years? Everyone in the world can plot against the Demon Emperor, but the Phoenix Emperor of our clan won't. This is the common understanding of the entire Demon Clan. Black dragon, what are you trying to do by making irresponsible remarks like this?!"
The Black Dragon Grand Elder's eyes were red, and he was enraged. "His Majesty has passed away, and many of our brothers are beside him. Is this something that I can fabricate just by opening my mouth?"
The other four elders of the Dragon race stepped forward to testify, proving that what the Black Dragon Grand Elder said was true and true.
But even with the five elders of the Dragon race as witnesses, the Demon Emperor did not say it himself. To pin the Phoenix Emperor to death, the crime of a Demon Emperor was still not enough.
For a moment, the confrontation between the Dragon race and the Phoenix race became more and more obvious. They glared at each other, ready to fight at any moment.
Vaguely, the murderous aura was so strong that it almost condensed.
The Black Dragon Grand Elder suddenly hollered angrily, "Your Majesty the Phoenix Emperor! Why haven't you made a sound? If you're a man, make a sound. You dare to do it, but don't dare to admit it? "
The holler was like a bolt from the blue, jolting the Phoenix Emperor who had fallen into a daze.
He raised his head indifferently and scanned the crowd of demons in front of him, saying faintly, "I did it, that's how it is. So what? "
His voice was very calm, but the meaning behind his words was like a bomb thrown into the crowd. It was earth-shattering, and its lethality was off the charts.
At that moment, the experts of the Dragon Race were dumbfounded.
The combat power of the Phoenix Race was also dumbfounded.
Everyone present, including Yun Yang, was stunned by the Phoenix Emperor's words!
No one had expected that the Phoenix Emperor would actually admit it so straightforwardly!
Whether it was Yun Yang or the five elders of the Dragon Race led by the Black Dragon Grand Elder, they had long prepared themselves for the Phoenix Emperor's rebuttal. They had all sorts of reasons to explain and how to pin the Phoenix Emperor's crime of murdering the Demon Emperor!
They did not expect the Phoenix Emperor to admit it – without hesitation!
In the next moment, however, the rage of the rest of the Dragon Race reached its peak, erupting like a volcano!
They could bear the death of their emperor, be it in battle, from illness, or even from seeking his own death!
Who was immune to death? Even the invincible cultivators had a limit to their lifespan. There was still an end to their lives, and accidents like this were inevitable!
However, they could not bear the fact that their emperor had died in such an aggrieved and muddle-headed manner.
He had died of betrayal! He had died of exploitation! He had died of a scheme tens of thousands of years ago!
This was a scheme that surpassed the Demon Emperor!
Thinking about how their emperor had been manipulated and played by a certain schemer for his entire life, the experts of the Dragon Race, without exception, were so upset that they wanted to cry.
What a tragedy this was!
In particular, the schemer was the person whom His Majesty the Dragon Emperor trusted the most. How could they endure this?
This was a scheme that had been carried out until the very end!
The Black Dragon Grand Elder's eyes were bloodshot.
Of course, the five elders of the Dragon Race had their own selfish motives for revealing this matter in public.
This selfishness was the rightful ownership of the Demon Race.
Revenge was a must, of course, but their combat power was obviously insufficient now. They could not kill the Phoenix Emperor at once!
