Inner Demons
"My Lord, look at that Divine Emissary's deflated expression."
Beneath his golden armor, Changxian pouted at the emissary. Even under these circumstances, he was still able to pay attention to the emissary. Clearly, the pressure the beastmen were exerting on them was negligible.
"Don't get careless."
The Yellow Emperor swung his sword, sword light accompanied by lightning, obliterating the beastmen charging at them.
"All under the heavens belong to the emperor, and all under the heavens belong to him. He's just a servant of the God Realm. Does he really think he can order us around? But we need to give those people from the Immortal Region a good beating. "
"Yes, we need to."
Thinking of how they'd begged for his life, his heart ached.
More than half of the Immortal Region's sovereigns had been personally groomed by him. Some had the talent to rule the world, while others had astonishing talent. Loving talent, he'd recruited them all into the Immortal Region.
He'd wanted to rely on them to rule the world and ensure eternal peace.
But now, things had turned out like this.
Rumble.
Muffled claps of thunder rang through the sky. The Yellow Emperor and Changxian both raised their heads and discovered that the sky above them was filled with thick, inky clouds.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, creating an intimidating sight.
"There's something strange about these clouds. Xuanyuan, you need to be careful."
The person who sent the voice transmission was the red-robed woman in the sky. Her nine white tails kept swaying as she stared at the thundercloud with a solemn expression.
Subconsciously glancing at the emissary, the Yellow Emperor realized that the fellow's nervousness had vanished.
"It looks like the emissary's backup plan. He's sending down tribulation lightning. I'd like to see just how powerful this tribulation lightning is. "
Boom.
Stamping his right foot on the ground, the Yellow Emperor leaped into the sky.
He gazed indifferently at the thunderclouds, his eyes brimming with arrogance as his lips curled into a smile.
"You're courting death."
The emissary narrowed his eyes and snorted. At that moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Boom.
Lightning washed over him.
The Yellow Emperor withstood the heavenly lightning with his body alone. Lightning crackled around him.
Just the residual power of the heavenly lightning was enough to make the scalps of those watching go numb. But he threw his head back and laughed, his expression overflowing with disdain.
Rumble.
Rumble.
Bolts of Heavenly Lightning tempered his body. Even the Divine Emissary was dumbfounded by the successive Heavenly Lightning.
Up in the sky, the Yellow Emperor allowed the lightning to strike him. He didn't retreat even half a step.
"What an ambitious and ruthless person!"
The Divine Emissary couldn't help but sigh. This kind of heavenly lightning would usually only descend when a god descended. The Yellow Emperor used his mortal body to block several bolts of lightning. He was truly a hero.
But even if he was a hero, someone who the God Realm wanted to erase from existence …
He would not survive.
Boom boom boom.
The heavenly thunder was endless. The Yellow Emperor, who had always been dismissive of heavenly thunder, finally showed signs of fatigue.
Without the recovery of spiritual power, the heavenly lightning bolts became stronger and stronger. On the seventieth lightning bolt, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
Another bolt of lightning descended, causing the Yellow Emperor to lose his footing and fall heavily to the ground.
"Lord."
Howl …
The beastmen, who had been biding their time, suddenly attacked. Chang Xian forcefully used his body to protect Chang Xian, but there were several beastmen's claw marks on his back.
Humph.
Chang Xian gave a muffled grunt. He suppressed the sweetness in his throat, gritted his teeth, and plunged his halberd into the beastman's chest.
"Scram, you beast."
"Xuan-Yuan."
The red-robed woman descended nervously to his side. She stretched out a hand, glowing with light, and pressed it between his eyebrows.
"I'll heal you right now."
Rumble.
"Wretched heavens, don't even think of harming my sovereign."
Whoosh.
Chang Xian leapt into the air, golden halberd in hand, and pointed it at the sky.
"Don't!"
Cried the weakened Yellow Emperor. Chang Xian was clearly using himself as a lightning rod, trying to block the lightning for him.
Having seen the lightning itself, how could he not know that Chang Xian wouldn't be able to withstand it?
Sizzle … …
The power of lightning flowed through Chang Xian's halberd and poured into his body.
"......"
The surging lightning wreaked havoc on Chang Xian's internal organs, causing his blood to roil.
Squelch.
The blood in his throat couldn't hold back any longer. It burst forth.
Rumble.
Another bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Squelch.
Another one.
Yet another.
Chang Xian really was using the halberd as the Yellow Emperor's last lightning rod, using his own life to resist the heavenly lightning.
Bang.
He landed.
By now, Chang Xian's aura was almost inaudible. Covered in blood, the Yellow Emperor knelt and grabbed his hand.
"Brother."
Rumble.
Another bolt of heavenly lightning exploded in the sky. This bolt of heavenly lightning brought to them …
Despair.
"Divine Emissary, I agree! I agree to your request. Now, I only ask that you release Lil 'Yan and Chang Xian. "
"That won't do." The Divine Emissary shook his head. "The two of them openly defy the God Realm's authority. They deserve death."
"You …."
"My Lord, he's nothing but a lackey. Why bother with him?"
Chang Xian chuckled, blood still flowing from his mouth. Then he saw another bolt of lightning descend from the sky.
"Don't even think of harming my Lord."
Like an oil lamp on the verge of death, he somehow found the strength to leap into the air, halberd in hand.
Heavenly lightning struck him.
Convulsing, Chang Xian shouted his last words before he died.
"Big Brother, retreat!"
"Chang Xian!"
The Yellow Emperor screamed at the top of his lungs. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chang Xian, who was still above him. Then, under the might of the lightning, he transformed into motes of light and disappeared.
"Brother!"
Rumble.
The lightning didn't stop.
A red figure flitted past the Yellow Emperor ….
"Lil 'Yan, don't!"
"It seems I'll have to help you block the rest of the lightning," said the red-robed woman with a smile. "If the heavens wish to destroy my Lord, I'll follow my Lord."
Then, the woman in red looked at the young girl in the Nine-tailed Fox Mountain Gate.
Her lips trembled ….
Boom.
"Big Sister!"
Su Liu 'er yelled from the back mountains of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. She reached out, wanting to snatch Su Yan back from the lightning.
"You can't go over."
Lady Nuwa used her spiritual energy to lock her down. Su Liu 'er could only struggle, tears streaming down her face.
"Big Sister!"
It was this scene again ….
It had been like this.
She'd hated herself for ten thousand years. She hated herself for being so weak that she couldn't help her sister when she fought against the heavens.
From that moment on, she'd bitterly studied ice techniques.
Three hundred years ….
The head of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Su Liu 'er, the Fox Emperor, had appeared out of nowhere.
She could summon clouds and rain, and all races worshipped her.
She loathed the Immortal Region, and never believed in the heavens.
She looked forward to the day when she could personally shatter the heavens and turn the God Realm upside down.
She looked forward to the day when she could stand before her big sister, no longer as a child, but as her left and right arm.
But ….
It was this scene again.
This scene, which had woken her up in her dreams hundreds, thousands of times, now replayed itself before her eyes.
It was like a heart demon, devouring her heart and soul.
"Big Sister ….."
Su Liu 'er's cries gradually turned into howls. Her crystal-like eyes turned blood-red, and her nine pure-white tails turned the color of blood.
