Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Your Majesty, the Xuanzun of Tianyuan demands that you immediately wage war against the Imperial Dynasty and the Sword Sect, and destroy them at all costs, including the Other Shore Chaotic Flower. Otherwise, in the near future, he will have other means to open up Tianyuan and enter our world, at which point he will destroy our royal court."

"Your Majesty, I am about to die. I failed to protect the princes and princesses. If there is an afterlife, I will come back to atone for my sins."

"Pfft!"

"Clap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing sound of flesh tearing apart was heard clearly in the Sunset Demon Emperor's mind, followed by the sound of a corpse falling to the ground.

It had sensed the deaths of several direct descendants just seconds before, but it never expected that its only close human guard with the Jade Realm cultivation and limitless potential would follow in its footsteps so quickly.

Knowing the whole story, the Sunset Demon Emperor was filled with shock and rage.

At this moment, the other monarchs present also turned grim, as they sensed that their direct bloodlines, disciples, trusted elites, and the like had been wiped out almost instantly.

For monarchs like them, who possess the cultivation level of the sixth or seventh palace, it is already difficult to have offspring, and raising them requires a massive amount of resources. Now, some of their important offspring and disciples have all perished in battle.

Even they were helpless, unable to intervene in the tragedy that was happening in that world, and even they themselves risked perishing if they went in.

The Demon Emperor didn't hold back. Soon, it relayed Jiang Mo's message to the kings, asking for their opinions on whether they really wanted to go to war with the human race.

It was at this moment that a black spatial rift suddenly burst open within the palace, and the Demon Emperor's avatar, which had gone to the Evil Soul Sea, returned with four monarchs. When they learned of the current situation, they were all shocked.

Do the creatures in the Abyss really have the ability to force their way out hundreds of years in advance?

None of the eleven kings present dared to underestimate the threat Jiang Mo spoke of.

The Dragon King, positioned below the throne in the palace, was already restless, his mind constantly replaying Jiang Mo's words: "Once we leave the Heavenly Abyss, I will cook it first."

"Gentlemen, do you have any good ideas? Why don't you tell me? Do we really want to grant this madman's wish, start a war with the human race, suffer heavy losses on both sides, and let him reap the benefits?"

The Sunset Demon King rubbed its head, feeling a bit of a headache. A few years was neither a long nor a short time, but the arrival that Jiang Mo spoke of had become a sharp blade hanging over its throat, forcing it to be on high alert.

"Your Majesty, that person wants to use us to weaken the Imperial Dynasty and the Sword Sect. Why don't we do the opposite and cooperate with these two to destroy Xuanzun and his Tianyuan Sect?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Insect spoke first.

"Hmph, cooperate with them? It would be better to move the royal court away from the territory and go to the heavens."

Before the Sunset Demon Emperor could reply, another king, the Devouring Python, who had always been at odds with the human race, sneered and said bluntly:

"Humans are masters of scheming. If you cooperate with them, you won't even know how you got killed. In my opinion, this is more likely a trap set by humans and Xuanzun, a pit of fire waiting for us to jump into."

"What you said makes sense. I'm afraid they might have ulterior motives and are just putting on a show for us."

The Heavenly King inside the palace looked at the Devouring Python and expressed his agreement with its statement.

For a time, all the kings were uneasy.

The Gluttonous King asked the Crimson Centipede King, "Can the Blood Moon King of the Great Cause you mentioned earlier be trusted? Are you sure he has no ulterior motives?"

"Hmm... I'm pretty sure he covets the throne, he has ambition, and his hatred for the Imperial Preceptor and the Emperor is real. But whether he'll sacrifice his long-held schemes to gain our trust and then plot against us and Xuanzun is something I really can't judge."

The Red Centipede King sighed helplessly and tentatively asked:

"How about... we have him come secretly? Or we can work with him from the inside to infiltrate the Great Ye Dynasty and destroy the Other Shore Chaotic Flower first?"

"Or, we could explain the truth to the human race's national advisor and Ye You, and then cooperate to hunt more ancient life stars, cultivate the Other Shore Chaos Flower, and help it grow to its strongest level. At that time, we would have a greater chance of containing Xuan Zun."

"No, no, no, these spider lilies are one of humanity's most important trump cards. They won't let us get close easily. Besides, if we cooperate and let the spider lilies grow to a point where we can't control them, what if we end up getting hurt by them?"

The Evil Ape King's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, showing his strong resistance to cooperating with the human race.

Just as the eleven kings, ministers, and demon generals were arguing fiercely, a sudden voice rang out, bringing a heavy blow.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we still have a chance!"

The speaker was none other than Dark Blade, one of the four kings who had followed the Demon Emperor's avatar to the Sea of ​​Evil Souls.

"Oh?"

The Sunset Demon King's eyes were deep as it looked at it, as if it were scrutinizing a forbidden being who could stand on equal footing with it from afar. It roughly guessed what had happened.

Not only it, but also the King-like Sky-Piercing Cicada and the Sky-Swallowing Python seemed to be hesitant to speak.

These three kings were relatively weak. Back in the Sea of ​​Evil Souls, they didn't have time to conceal their souls and were ultimately swayed by several highly tempting voices.

"Your Majesty, not long ago, when you reinforced the seal, the creature behind the stone gate asked me to plead for it and asked you to help it escape. In return, it gave us the coordinates of a primordial magic artifact that it had hidden somewhere before its death."

"In other words, we demons can also possess innate magical artifacts!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not conceal anything; I beg your decision!"

Having said that, the Dark Blade King knelt down and bowed its head deeply. What it said was true. Every king in the royal court was promoted by the Demon Emperor and bestowed with various titles, magical artifacts, elixirs, and cultivation techniques. They were loyal to it to an unparalleled degree.

At the same time, the Dark Blade King also understood that it was absolutely impossible for it to master the innate magical artifact left behind by Wan'e on its own, and it might even be controlled by it.

Therefore, for various reasons, its best option is to inform the Demon Emperor and let him decide, so that it can both protect itself and enjoy the blessings.

"Such a thing is true...!"

The Sunset Demon King's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension. When it made its move, to prevent the root plague from shaking its mind, it had concealed its soul beforehand, preventing the other party from bewitching it.

Unexpectedly, the root of the plague still managed to leak this message to the weaker Dark Blade King during its last brief respite.

"Your Majesty, so am I."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can hear its whispers here as well."

Subsequently, the two great monarchs, Tongtian and Tuntian, acknowledged this fact.

The Taotie King, whose soul was also sealed prematurely, was unaware of this.

"What is the innate magical artifact mentioned by the root of the plague?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor asked with some curiosity, and a certain thought instantly took root in his heart, making it impossible for him to suppress the impulse.

In the distant past, some forces of the demon race possessed many innate magical artifacts, but over the years, they were either lost to the heavens or destroyed in battles against the most powerful beings of the human race.

By the time the Sunset Royal Court rebuilt its vast territory, there was no longer a single innate magic weapon left. Even the powerful Sunset Demon Emperor of this generation felt helpless.

If it had such a weapon, it would have already crushed the imperial dynasty and the sword sect, instead of waiting for so many years.

The crushing defeat in the Battle of Tianyuan amplified its inner shadow. Objectively speaking, it was not afraid of the so-called Xuanzun at all. However, when beings of the same level lack combat artifacts, the gap is insurmountable. Otherwise, it would not have planned to retreat and take the entire royal court to escape into the starry sky.

The Dark Blade King sensed a hint of urgency in the Sunset Demon Emperor's tone, and the smile on his lips deepened as he chuckled softly:

"Your Majesty, the magical artifact left behind by the root of the plague is called the 'Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner.' It contains ten thousand poisons that can corrode all living beings. It was one of the three companion spiritual treasures it possessed in its lifetime. Although its power is not as great as that of an innate magical artifact, it has been continuously upgraded after being nourished by its essence and soul. In essence, it is still a companion spiritual treasure, but in a true sense, it can compete with innate magical artifacts without being defeated, and even surpass them."

"Mountains and rivers are filled with poisonous flags!!!"

The moment this word appeared, the entire palace erupted in excitement.

Legend has it that it is a magical artifact capable of unleashing the same plagues and toxins as Wan'e. More than three hundred ancient stars have perished under its power. It swept across a region of the starry sky, causing the heavens and the earth to lose their color and all life to perish.

Besides the Mountain and River Poison Banner, Wan'e also has two top-grade companion spirit treasures, named: Undying True Blood Armor and Emperor's Eye of Delusion.

First, there is the mysterious demon blood that devours all living beings, which can transform into the form of armor. Rather than being a piece of armor, it is more like a race. The Undying True Blood Armor is composed of the blood of countless demons with the ability to advance, and those demons all possess active biological consciousness, making it particularly terrifying. It is said to be able to withstand all kinds of attacks in the world.

The second one, the Emperor's Eye of Illusion, is a magical artifact shaped like an eyeball. Any attack seen by it, whether it be sword energy, formation, or any other supernatural power, becomes ineffective, making it inherently invincible.

It was thanks to the blessing of these three companion spiritual treasures that, in ancient times, the 'Wan'e, which was known as the origin of all calamities in the world, was able to fight to the point of the sky collapsing and the stars falling under the siege of six Nine Palaces Demon Emperors, three Supreme Dao Lords, and at least five innate magic artifacts. The battle lasted for several years before it was finally killed in a dangerous place and died with regret.

However, this immense joy still could not cloud the minds of the Sunset Demon Emperor and many powerful demons. The 'Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner,' which was closely related to the Myriad Calamities, was not so easy to control or refine. With their cultivation levels, even the slightest touch could kill their bodies with the extreme poison on it.

Seemingly sensing the Sunset Demon Emperor's concerns, the Heavenly Monarch added:

"Your Majesty, the forbidden creature behind that door told us in private that before its defeat, its three companion spiritual treasures were damaged, but not fundamentally. To prevent them from falling into the hands of powerful beings from the human and demon races, it threw the three spiritual treasures out, piercing through the vast void. Even the most powerful demon emperors and Dao Lords could not track them down."

"After the passage of time, those spiritual treasures have the property of self-healing. They must have recovered and returned to their peak condition. The root of the plague said that as long as you help it get out of trouble, it is willing to pass on the method of refining to you. You can choose any of the three spiritual treasures!"

"........"

The Sunset Demon King's gaze was deep and mysterious. It admitted that it had indeed been outmaneuvered by this old ghost. Even with its composure and rationality, it could not suppress the urge to seize a mythical artifact.

Since its ascension to the throne, it has only feared three threats: the Void Shadow Sword, the Other Shore Chaos Flower, and the many immortal human beings sealed in blood coffins.

However, its fear stems not from the fact that these three things can harm it, but from the fact that they can destroy its royal court and kill its millions of subjects.

If it were to set aside its concerns and fight with all its might, it would truly be unafraid of these three things.

Now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is at hand: the root cause of the epidemic is willing to negotiate with it using its symbiotic spiritual treasure in exchange for freedom!

How could it possibly refuse?

Faced with the attack from both sides by the human race and the imminent threat of annihilation, the Sunset Demon Emperor made a decision without hesitation.

"it is good......."

"it is good......."

"Then let the glory of my Sunset Royal Court continue for ten thousand years, radiating to all the stars in the heavens."

The Sunset Demon Emperor slowly rose, his true form and clone merging, his aura reaching its peak, like a supreme deity of the demon race. He looked at the Crimson Centipede King and said:

"Tell Blood Moon of Daye that if he wants to usurp the throne, he should cooperate with us and tell us the location of the Other Shore Chaotic Flower."

"The Fallen Flowers of the Other Shore cannot take root in the mortal realm before they are transplanted to the Heavenly Abyss. No one can withstand its threat. It is probably located in some star system outside the heavens."

"After the matter is accomplished, the Great Cause will belong to him, and the Great Cause will simply submit to our clan. We will not pursue them to the point of extermination. However, the Void Sword Sect needs to be dealt with using the Other Shore Flower method."

"Fine, let him decide. At this juncture, a single flower is no longer so important. Even if two major powers come together, I am not afraid. If he is unwilling to surrender, I will kill him along with me."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Inside the palace, the king and his ministers praised in unison, their voices like a tidal wave.

"Tongtian, Evil Ape."

"The minister is here."

"From this day forward, you will assist the Taotie in ascending to the heavens, hunting stars, and helping it devour and break through its current level."

"Yes!"

"The remaining eight kings shall guard the territory and prepare for war. Once I obtain the symbiotic spiritual treasure of the root of the plague, I will wage war against the human race and crush their imperial dynasty and lineage."

The Demon Emperor of Sunset's voice was like thunder, containing an unyielding majesty, and all the ministers and kings knelt to receive his command.

"Hantian, all the royal court elites who have fallen this time, whether they are my sons, your sons, disciples, guards, or confidants, shall be given a proper burial. You shall be in charge of this."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Sky-Shaking Ant looked up, watching the majestic figure slowly turn around, about to depart, revealing an expression of utter worship and fervor.

In this era, the demon race shall rise!

This is the strongest emperor!

"Boom!!" A thunderous roar resounded as the golden spatial rift was casually torn open by the Sunset Demon Emperor's hands. Behind the rift lay a terrifying abyss, exuding an aura of ultimate evil and darkness, while a faintly visible stone gate stood not far away.

"Om!!"

In the instant that the assembled ministers and kings were stunned, the Sunset Demon Emperor strode in, and the golden crack instantly healed, causing a storm of emotions to rise in the hearts of all those watching, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.

Their emperor is just one step away from reigning supreme over the vast and boundless world!

Chapter 574 Calculation and Transaction

The Sea of ​​Evil Souls, a mythical land, lies at the very end of the Forbidden Zone of All Spirits.

As the golden spatial rift suddenly exploded, the Sunset Demon Emperor returned to this place. A heavy, ancient stone gate, as tall as a mountain, stood silently not far away.

Suddenly, a maniacal laugh rang out from inside the door, extremely sharp and piercing, the laughter shaking the seabed and unleashing a continuous, raging tsunami.

"Finally, you're back!"

Through countless seals, the root of the plague, imprisoned in a world of utter darkness, uttered this sigh of relief.

It made the right bet after all.

It is a gamble that these descendants of the demon race are greedy and covet its three companion spirit treasures.

"How can you get your wish if you don't come back?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor spoke calmly. At this moment, its two bodies were merged into one, and its aura surged and turbulent, like a sun that had fallen into the deep sea, instantly making the entire cold and gloomy Evil Soul Sea boil and become hot.

The laughter of the root of the plague gradually subsided. It remained silent for a few breaths, regaining its former intelligence. Once it had calmed down a bit and was no longer so dazed, it finally asked bluntly:

"Let's talk about the conditions."

"Which magical treasure do you want to help me escape this predicament?"

"How much of the power of your three natal spiritual treasures, which have survived to this day, still remain at their peak? If they are just broken pieces of metal, then there's no need to bother with them."

The Sunset Demon King smiled, feeling fearless in dealing with such a forbidden creature.
