Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 221 The Demon Emperor's Conspiracy

Southern Abyss Divine Land.

After Liu Ruyan's guidance last time, Su Bai finally calmed down and spent this time searching for geniuses and devouring their essence, with very good results.

He has recovered to the Purple Mansion Realm, although he is not as good as before, but this is still a good thing.

On this day, Su Bai secretly entered a city.

"Have you heard? This Li Qiye is terrifying! He actually broke through to the first level of the Void Realm."

"The Void Realm is nothing! I heard that when Li Qiye broke through, he even attracted a heavenly tribulation!"

"That's a heavenly tribulation! Only when someone's talent is envied by the heavens will a heavenly tribulation occur."

"This shows that Li Qiye's talent has reached a level that even the heavens envy."

……

Upon hearing this, Su Bai's expression turned grim.

"Hey, here we go again."

Liu Ruyan sighed helplessly.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion.

Three months have passed since Li Qiye entered the second level of the Void Realm.

As time went by, the whole world was abuzz with talk about how his breakthrough had triggered a heavenly tribulation.

Before this, no one had ever attracted a heavenly tribulation after breaking through to the first level of the Void Realm.

Because of this, many people call him the greatest genius and prodigy of all time.

Some people might stand up to refute this, but breaking through to the first level of the Void Realm attracted a heavenly tribulation, which immediately silenced those people.

Because attracting heavenly tribulation is the best proof of talent, even if someone tries to bring up the Dragon Clan's Holy Son Ao Qinglong, the fact of heavenly tribulation refutes them.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Since his breakthrough, he has resumed his life of lying low and doing nothing, and the Seven Nights Royal Palace has returned to peace.

On this day, Emperor Yuan and the Grand Elder arrived at the Seven Nights Palace. The Grand Elder looked at Li Qiye with a strange expression and said:
"Your Highness Qiye, just as you predicted, news of the Enlightenment Flower blooming has arrived from the Southern Abyss Divine Continent."

The Grand Elder looked at Li Qiye and said in disbelief.

The reason for this is that Li Qiye had told him about it before.

He didn't understand how Li Qiye knew these things.

Does His Highness Seven Nights truly possess the ability to foresee the future?

"Finally here."

Li Qiye slowly stood up and said calmly, "According to our original plan, we will trouble the Grand Elder to make a trip to the Southern Abyss Divine Continent."

"However, there might be some changes this time, so you'd better act quickly and not drag it out for too long."

"Kill them if you can. Don't waste words with the enemy. We can't let the Heavenly Demon Sect capture Lu Xiaoxiao."

The Enlightenment Flower is an extremely rare and precious natural treasure. Whoever consumes it will enhance their comprehension.

However, the most suitable is the Dao Body. If one can refine the Enlightenment Flower, the comprehension of a person with the Dao Body constitution will be raised to the extreme.

At that time, comprehending the Great Dao or cultivating secret techniques was extremely easy.

That's why Lu Xiaoxiao went there.

The powerful effects of the Enlightenment Flower also made the Demon Emperor want to obtain it.

The Demon Emperor's comprehension has improved, and he can now analyze formations. The power of the Emperor Realm Killing Formation is unparalleled, especially since it is the formation of an Eternal Emperor.

Even the Demon Emperor, who was also at the Emperor level, could not break through the Eternal Emperor's killing formation.

Furthermore, while the Demon Emperor's comprehension wasn't particularly strong among Emperor-level experts, it was absolutely unparalleled compared to other cultivators. Therefore, the Demon Emperor simply looked down on the comprehension of others.

Despite years of research, they still haven't been able to break this killing formation.

This made the Demon Emperor desperately want to enhance his comprehension and break the formation.

Therefore, the emergence of the Enlightenment Flower greatly tempted the Demon Emperor. However, the improvement in his comprehension from directly consuming the Enlightenment Flower was limited, because the Enlightenment Flower was most suitable for cultivators with a Dao Body physique.

The appearance of Lu Xiaoxiao in the Hundred-Layer Immortal Tower exposed her Dao body, greatly tempting the Demon Emperor. He wanted to lure Lu Xiaoxiao there by using the news of the Enlightenment Flower, so that she could refine the Enlightenment Flower, and then seize the opportunity to capture Lu Xiaoxiao, ultimately using a secret technique to completely devour her physique.

The Demon Emperor's plan is quite good.

Normally, if Lu Xiaoxiao knew that the Enlightenment Flower had appeared, she would naturally go there.

Then she will fall into the clutches of the Demon Emperor and be refined.

However, in the original story, Su Bai's appearance ultimately caused the Demon Emperor's plan to fail.

During this period, Liu Ruyan had fully recovered, both her physical body and soul had returned to their previous peak.

With Liu Ruyan's help, Su Bai was naturally able to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.

Coupled with the stunning performance of the Hundred-Layer Immortal Tower and the companionship along the way, it was natural for the two to develop a mutual appreciation.

However, Lu Xiaoxiao was an ethereal person who was single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao. Although she had some inner turmoil, it was not obvious.

It wasn't until later in the story that they truly entered Su Bai's harem.

Furthermore, Liu Ruyan had disappeared for many years, and no one knew the relationship between Su Bai and Liu Ruyan, which made it impossible for the people of the Heavenly Demon Realm to find out who the murderer was.

In addition, Su Dingtian deliberately concealed the truth, allowing Su Bai to enjoy himself for a while.

If it weren't for Su Dingtian's existence, Su Bai might have died long ago just because of this incident.

The Demon Emperor will surely do everything in his power to kill Su Bai.

Li Qiye intervened because he couldn't let the Demon Emperor's conspiracy succeed.

If the Demon Emperor's comprehension is improved to a perfect level, the Heavenly Demon Realm will be completely unsealed in no time.

Without the protection of an Emperor-level expert, the world would become a living hell, and Li Qiye naturally did not want to see that happen.

Of course, he wasn't without a backup plan, which was to devour the Immortal Spirit Fruit.

This is his biggest trump card, but Li Qiye will not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Because consuming a Celestial Spirit Fruit will lower one's upper limit.

"Your Highness Qiye, I understand."

The Grand Elder nodded; he could sense that Li Qiye was being very cautious.

In addition, as Li Qiye had previously stated, this matter was extremely important, relating to the future of the world and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the Heavenly Demon Realm is truly unsealed, then this world will surely become a living hell.

If the world is like this, then the Great Zhou Dynasty is naturally not much better off.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

The Grand Elder looked at Li Qiye and said, "I've heard that the Dark Demon Palace has emerged, and it's very likely that it's targeting you."

"Your Highness, Seven Nights, you may not know about the Dark Demon Palace..."

The elder was interrupted by Li Qiye before he could finish speaking.

"Elder, you don't need to say anything more. I know about the Dark Demon Palace."

"The emergence of the Dark Demon Palace was indeed beyond my expectations, but a mere Dark Demon Palace is nothing special."

"Moreover, their emergence is actually a good thing for us."

"I will take action against the Dark Demon Palace later, but there's no need to rush right now."

Li Qiye was not surprised at all by the emergence of the Dark Demon Palace; it was originally a sharp blade for the Demon Emperor.

His performance in the Hundred-Layer Immortal Tower, and the heavenly tribulation he attracted by breaking through to the Void Realm, made the Demon Emperor feel threatened, so he would naturally use this sharp blade to kill him.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder said nothing more and then disappeared into the air.

At the same time, a ripple appeared in the surrounding void.

Emperor Yuan's expression changed slightly, and his powerful aura erupted.

"Calm down."

The next moment, Mo Daoren emerged from the void.
