Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

A glint flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes; he seemed to have detected some crucial clues. "The Dragon Emperor of the Primordial Blue Dragon Clan—I've heard he was once a supreme being of the ancient times, wielding mysterious powers. Can you guide me to his dragon's lair?"

The Blue Dragon Emperor hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "I can guide you, but before that, you must answer one question. Why did you betray the Abyss and become the Demon Emperor?"

The Demon Emperor smiled slightly. "This is a long and tortuous story. I will explain everything to you after we find the Dragon Emperor of the Primordial Blue Dragon Clan."

In his 133rd encounter with the Ancient Blue Dragon Emperor, Ye Xiu argued that human nature is inherently prone to evil and requires laws to regulate it. He criticized the Ancient Blue Dragon Emperor's prejudice and stated that each race has its own rules, which need laws to maintain order.

"Great Emperor of the Ancient Blue Dragon Clan, you are obsessed with the boundary between justice and evil, yet you have ignored the complexity of the human heart. Laws are meant to regulate people's hearts, not to generalize about everything." Ye Xiu's voice was calm and firm; his faith in the law made him intolerant of the Great Emperor of the Ancient Blue Dragon Clan's narrow-mindedness.

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Primordial Blue Dragon Emperor. "Ye Xiu, you are a member of the Abyss. How could you possibly understand the justice of our Dragon Clan?"

Because I am a member of the Abyss, I understand the importance of laws and regulations even more. Different races have different rules, and laws and regulations are meant to maintain order in a chaotic world. Ye Xiu's words were full of persuasiveness.

Chapter 259

The Blue Dragon Emperor sneered, "Laws? Those are merely tools the Abyss uses to bind other races. We dragons don't need their laws to regulate our behavior." Ye Xiu gave him a deep look, "Your stubbornness will lead you to the brink of danger. Each race has its own rules; laws are merely common principles, not constraints." The Primordial Blue Dragon Emperor fell silent, and a tense silence descended upon both sides. However, at this moment, Ye Xiu's Rinnegan suddenly lit up.

The Primordial Blue Dragon Emperor—you might be surprised by this name. The leader of the anti-god faction in the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, the Dragon Emperor, is actually still alive. Ye Xiu suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of mystery.

The Great Emperor of the Primordial Blue Dragon Clan revealed a look of surprise. The Dragon Emperor? That's impossible; he was already defeated by the Demon Clan.

Ye Xiu smiled slightly; the truth was not so. The Dragon Emperor was now the leader of the Reverse Dao Alliance, and he was still alive in this world.

The Primordial Blue Dragon Emperor shook his head in disbelief. "This is impossible. We were told by the Abyss that the Dragon Emperor had long since perished at the hands of the Demon Clan."

Ye Qingxian sneered from the side, "It seems that your Blue Dragon Clan has been kept in the dark by the Abyss all along. How pathetic."

The Blue Dragon Emperor frowned, clearly angered and confused by the matter. The Abyss tells us the truth; how can we question the words of a god?

Ye Xiu's gaze sharpened. "Great Emperor of the Primordial Blue Dragon Clan, your ignorance is robbing you of your ability to judge. The Dragon Emperor has always fought to resist the invasion of the Demon Clan; he is not the sinner you believe him to be."

A thoughtful expression appeared on the face of the Primordial Blue Dragon Emperor. "I was blinded by the abyss. What was the purpose of all this?"

Ye Xiu smiled coldly. "The Abyss needs blind believers like you to maintain their power. The Dragon Emperor has always strived to protect the balance of the world, but you have been misled by the Abyss into becoming his enemies."

Ye Xiu sensed the other party's kindness and expressed his willingness to clear up the misunderstanding, hoping that the two could become friends. Although the Blue Dragon Emperor rejected both the Abyss and the Demon Clan, under Ye Xiu's persuasion, he said that he was willing to maintain friendly relations with the Demon Clan as long as Ye Xiu took him to see Ye Hei.

"Great Emperor of the Ancient Blue Dragon Clan, there's no need for us to become enemies. If you could meet Ye Hei, perhaps you'd gain a completely new understanding of the Demon Clan." Ye Xiu's tone was full of sincerity.

The Primordial Blue Dragon Emperor remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, I will go with you. But this does not mean I completely trust the Demon Clan."

Ye Xiu smiled; that was enough. He believed Ye Xiu would change his mind after meeting Ye Hei.

After the Great Emperor of the Primordial Blue Dragon Clan left, Ye Qingxian raised objections to Ye Xiu's identity as the Demon Emperor, believing him to be a "great demon," but Ye Xiu defended himself with his performance.

Ye Qingxian, I'm not being unreasonable. I'm only acting to maintain the balance of the world, not to harm people for no reason. There was a hint of helplessness in Ye Xiu's words.

Ye Qingxian curled her lips, "But your identity is too mysterious, it really makes people doubt your true purpose."

"As long as my actions are for the sake of maintaining peace, I will do it without hesitation," Ye Xiu said firmly. At this moment, Yun Yun revealed that she had become Ye Xiu's "wife of the God of Slaughter," causing surprise and doubt among everyone.

"You're Ye Xiu's wife? And the God of Slaughter at that?" Ye Qingxian asked, her face full of confusion.

Yun Yun chuckled. "That's right, I am Ye Xiu's other half. Moreover, my identity as the God of Slaughter is just a small secret."

Ye Xiu smiled and said, "She is my capable assistant, used to deal with those demons and villains who attempt to disrupt the world order."

Ye Qingxian expressed her envy of this relationship, but also realized that due to her status as a Holy Maiden, she might not be able to marry someone from another tribe.

Ah, how enviable! But as the Holy Maiden, I cannot easily marry into a foreign tribe. Ye Qingxian's expression was somewhat helpless.

There's always a solution to matters of the heart. Ye Xiu patted Ye Qingxian's shoulder reassuringly. (Take care.)

After becoming the Demon Queen, Ye Xiu didn't wallow in pride but instead harbored lofty goals for cultivation. Ye Qingxian reminded him of the difficulty of breaking free from the chasm's bindings and suggested he temporarily take refuge in the Demon Realm to avoid attacks from the Abyss. Ye Xiu expressed his desire to continue pursuing greater power, not content with his current achievements. He mentioned various paths, such as the Human Path, the Asura Path, the Heavenly Path, the Immortal Path, and the Ghost Path, expressing his desire to explore different paths.

Ye Qingxian, you're right, overcoming this formidable barrier is indeed not easy. But I can't stand still here; I must continuously pursue higher levels. A resolute light shone in Ye Xiu's eyes.

Chapter 260

Ye Qingxian nodded. "I understand your ambition, but our current situation is also very dangerous. The Abyss could launch an attack at any time, so we should take refuge in the Demon Realm for the time being."

Seeking refuge? That's just a temporary solution. What I need is a way to overcome this insurmountable barrier, not to hide. Ye Xiu's tone was full of determination.

Then he suddenly smiled and said, "However, perhaps we can take this opportunity to go on a trip. Are you interested?"

Ye Qingxian looked at him in confusion. A trip? At this time of year?

"Yeah, life is too short, why not go and see the beauty of the world?" Ye Xiu said jokingly.

Ye Qingxian smiled wryly. "Although it sounds good, my identity is special, and it's difficult for me to leave here."

Ye Xiu chuckled and said, "It's alright, we still have a chance."

At this moment, Yun Yun revealed the method to leave the Demon Realm: it required the blood of the Abyss to carve open the chasm. This news made everyone realize the extent of the Abyss's control over the Demon Realm.

Blood from the abyss? That's not something you can get easily. Ye Qingxian frowned.

Ye Xiu took a deep breath. No matter how difficult it is, I will try. Only through continuous exploration can we find a way to overcome this insurmountable obstacle.

During the discussion, the Abyss Demon Lord asked Yun Yun if she truly intended to ally with the demon race. Yun Yun replied with the proverb "a woman follows her husband wherever he goes," indicating that she had decided to spend the rest of her life with Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu then jokingly mentioned "what's done is done," sparking a series of humorous exchanges about their relationship.

"Haha, Ye Xiu, it seems your identity isn't just the Demon Emperor now, but also a master conman." Ye Qingxian teased. Ye Xiu scratched his head, "I just wanted to win over the girl." Ye Qingxian chuckled, "Oh dear, stop joking around, you're an adult now."

In the Demon Realm, Ye Xiu bid farewell to Yun Yun and Ye Qingxian, deciding to leave and travel to the outside world. Their departure left behind a harmonious and humorous atmosphere, eliciting laughter from many Demon Lords. Yuwen Jiexi remained in the Demon Realm due to his responsibilities. The Abyss Demon Lord reminded him to cultivate, indicating that they would have the opportunity to meet again in the future.

"Yuwen Jiexi, you are the most responsible one in the Demon Realm. Staying is the right choice." Ye Xiu encouraged Yuwen Jiexi.

Yuwen Jiexi smiled slightly. "With you all traveling in the outside world, I've done my part by guarding the Demon Realm here. Abyss Demon Lord, I will diligently cultivate according to your advice."

The Abyss Demon Lord nodded, "Cultivate diligently, and we will surely have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

After leaving the Demon Realm, Ye Xiu and his two companions headed to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. During this time, the Abyss Alliance invaded the Demon Realm, and three of the Supreme Palace's strongest members were attacked by a mysterious figure. Meanwhile, Ye Xiu's power, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, began to emerge in the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, attracting widespread attention. The residents of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land discussed the Abyss Alliance's invasion and the turmoil within the Supreme Palace, speculating about the actions of the Abyss Clan Chief, Tian.

During this period, rumors circulated that Ye Xiu, upon arriving at the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, had already united the anti-god faction, established the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and gained immense fame. (chci) News also revealed that the Abyss Alliance suffered a major defeat in the Demon Realm. The entire Vermilion Bird Holy Land was thrown into turmoil by these major events.

Ye Xiu and his two companions arrived at the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, where chaos reigned and the atmosphere was tense. They sensed the unease and tension within the Holy Land, knowing that it was facing a massive upheaval. Ye Xiu silently prayed for all the beings within, hoping they could safely weather this storm.

It seems we've arrived at the perfect time. The situation at the Vermilion Bird Holy Land is quite tense; we must proceed with caution. Ye Xiu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.

Ye Qingxian said with a smile, "Now that we're here, we should be prepared to face everything that's unknown."

Yun Yun gazed into the distance, where even the stars in the sacred land seemed to weep for this transformation. She whispered, "We still have much to do; this is just the beginning."

On the edge of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, Ye Xiu's Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have quietly risen to prominence, their influence growing daily, making them a prominent force within the Holy Land. Meanwhile, the Abyss Alliance's defeat in the Demon Realm has sparked discussion among various factions within the Holy Land. The future of the Holy Land seems poised for an unprecedented upheaval.

In the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, the news of Ye Xiu becoming the fifth Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan spread throughout the various holy lands, causing a great uproar. Major clans, such as the Golden Crow Clan, the Fire Mulberry Clan, the Heavenly Light Clan, and the Lich Clan, were alarmed by his rise and discussed what changes he would bring to their holy lands.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Ye Xiu returned to the small world of the Reverse Path. In celebration of his return, the Reverse Path had flourished, boasting nearly twenty powerful figures who had reached the level of Great Emperors. Ye Hei became the leader of the alliance, leading this formidable force to welcome Ye Xiu back.

Chapter 261

Brother Ye, you're finally back! Ye Hei embraced Ye Xiu warmly, his smile filled with joy.

Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Ye Hei, you did a good job. The development of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has exceeded my expectations. You truly deserve to lead us."

Ye Hei said with a smile, "With you here, we have achieved such brilliant results."

At this moment, a group of people walked over, including Ye Xiu's close friends such as Li Hanyi and Murong Xiaoxiao. They welcomed Ye Xiu's return with smiles full of joy.

"Brother Ye, you're back!" Li Hanyi warmly took Ye Xiu's hand.

Murong Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and asked, "Brother Ye, have you found someone you like while you've been away?"

Ye Xiu looked at her with some confusion. "What are you talking about, you eccentric empress?"

Murong Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I just felt that you must have brought some surprises with you this time."

The entire little world was filled with laughter and joy. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were united as one, and Ye Xiu found warmth and a sense of belonging in this big family.

As the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths gradually grew, Ye Xiu's influence in the Holy Land also became increasingly prominent. He was known as "Brother Ye" in the alliance, a title that spread widely throughout the Holy Land, becoming a sign of respect and affection.

However, the turmoil in the Vermilion Bird Holy Land did not subside. Ye Xiu's return and the rise of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths attracted the attention of even more clans. In a corner of the Holy Land, a mysterious battle was brewing. The Abyss Alliance's restless actions within the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, intertwined with the rise of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, pushed the Holy Land into an even more complex situation. The future remains uncertain, the Holy Land is in turmoil, and a grand and fierce war seems imminent.

News of Ye Xiu's return spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, drawing enthusiastic welcomes from both new and old members. Li Hanyi and Murong Xiaoxiao, his confidantes, expressed their joy at his safe return. The power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths rapidly increased, from a mere dozen or so Great Emperors to nearly twenty. Ye Hei became the alliance leader, while Ye Xiu was respectfully addressed as "Brother Ye."

Inside the main hall of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, numerous members gathered, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere. Ye Xiu observed everything around him with a smile, sensing the unity and cohesion within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths community.

"Brother Ye, you're back!" A powerful figure patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder enthusiastically.

"Yes, we've been waiting for you for so long!" another emperor said with a smile.

Li Hanyi and Murong Xiaoxiao were also standing nearby, their eyes filled with joy.

"Brother Ye, you're back! We're finally all together again!" Li Hanyi said, beaming as she held Ye Xiu's hand. Murong Xiaoxiao added with a giggle, "Brother Ye, don't forget me!"

Ye Xiu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, sensing the coziness and unity of this big family.

Ye Hei stood at the very front of the main hall, her gaze deep and resolute. She looked at Ye Xiu, a hint of pride in her smile.

"Brother Ye, welcome back to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Now, we are a powerful force, ready to face the challenges of the Abyss at any time." Ye Hei's voice resounded throughout the entire hall.

·· ······Requesting flowers·· ·······

Many emperors and their disciples expressed their anticipation of opposing the Abyss, but Ye Xiu knew that fighting the Abyss would take time. Although he had joined the Demon Clan, they were outnumbered and outmatched, and many of the myriad races in the world were still affiliated with the Abyss, or even neutral. Under these circumstances, he realized that it was too early to confront the Abyss.

Ye Xiu stepped to the main seat and addressed the crowd, "Everyone, thank you for your warm welcome. We, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, have indeed become stronger, but we need more than just increased numbers; we need time to consolidate and strengthen our power. The fight against the Abyss is not a matter of a day or two; we must prepare for the long term."

. ... ....

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that Ye Xiu was right. Each person present had a strong desire to fight against the abyss, but reason told them that it was time to remain calm and not act rashly.

Ye Hei added, "We can continue to strengthen our internal capabilities while seeking more like-minded allies. Only when we are truly powerful can we be more confident in facing the challenges of the abyss."
