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

The disciples and elders of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect all stared at the three kings and the demon emperor in front of them with tense and fearful eyes. Some of the more timid ones even fell to the ground because their legs went weak, but this did not cause their fellow disciples to laugh.

because......

Everyone felt an unspeakable pressure, like an ancient divine mountain directly pressing down on their souls, creating a suffocating feeling.

The Demon Emperor's calm, dark eyes awakened a certain inherited fear within their bloodline, which then manipulated their physiological instincts.

Even the four Supreme Dao Lords leading the team, who were at the mid-stage, couldn't help but frown. The transformed great demon before them was truly terrifying, like a vast ocean whose depths were unfathomable.

That majestic face belonged to the peerless demon, the supreme ruler of the Sunset Royal Court, whom the sect leader had repeatedly instructed them to avoid before his departure—the Demon Emperor.

"What is the purpose of Your Majesty's visit to this place, Demon Emperor?"

The most powerful Supreme Dao Lord asked in a gentle tone.

He was on edge, praying desperately that no conflict would occur.

"I'm just letting you know that we want these three states that border the imperial dynasty."

The Sunset Demon Emperor got straight to the point, without any politeness.

"Very well, since Your Majesty the Demon Emperor desires it, we have no reason to disobey. We will gladly hand it over. From this day forward, the three states of Baixuan, Cangyi, and Fenghuo will all belong to Your Majesty."

The Supreme Dao Lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to show his weakness.

"I don't care how you enslave the demon race and the beast race in the Western Sacred Land and the more than twenty states of the Sword Sect. But from now on, without my permission, in the three states and the three counties of the Imperial Dynasty, every flower and blade of grass, every person and demon, every tree and every drop of water, and even every inch of soil, if you cross the line, don't blame me for making trouble for you."

The Sunset Demon Emperor spoke indifferently, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, completely disregarding these powerful figures from the Beast Taming Azure Sect.

Having said that, it turned away.

Thousands of disciples and elders, none of whom dared to challenge its authority, instantly lost the courage to refute it.

Chapter 629 Your Majesty, I want freedom!

Just when the experts of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect thought that all was well and the troubles were over, a sudden voice rang out, making them look horrified.

"Your Majesty, I want freedom!"

A centipede, ridden by a proud disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, let out a mournful cry of resentment. It risked being killed by its master to express its truest thoughts at this moment.

Because this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for freedom.

The Sunset Demon Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness!

A world-renowned absolute powerhouse!

If even such a supreme being with demon blood is willing to show mercy to me, then I will surely be free!

The centipede has been enslaved by the disciples of the Beast Taming Azure Sect for over a thousand years. During this time, it has had several masters, each of whom treated it with extreme cruelty, using it as cannon fodder in battles against cultivators from other forces. It has escaped death countless times.

However, with only the cultivation of two palaces, how could it possibly be a match for those immortal lords and peerless monarchs? It is already a great fortune that it has survived until now.

At this moment, it no longer wanted to endure it and cried out for help, hoping that the Demon Emperor would rescue it from its suffering.

Suddenly, the Demon Emperor, who was about to embark on his journey, stopped and turned back.

With a loud "thud," the prodigy of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect trembled inwardly, terrified and completely lost his composure. His face turned extremely pale, and he decisively gripped a talisman in his hand, intending to tear it apart and kill the Centipede Immortal.

Suddenly, one of the sect's ultimate experts spoke up in secret to stop them, unwilling to escalate the conflict further.

The air seemed to freeze. The Sunset Demon Emperor looked at the Centipede from afar, his gaze calm and deep. The disciples standing on the centipede were all flustered, lowering their heads and not daring to meet the Demon Emperor's eyes.

The invisible pressure was terrifying. Faced with the gaze of a ruler of the Nine Palaces and Nine Stars, these cultivators, who were far from being Dao Lords, could not bear it.

"You said you want freedom?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor questioned the Centipede Immortal again, completely ignoring the reactions of the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect members.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty! I am willing to follow you to the side, I am willing to give my life for you, I no longer want to be a slave to the human race!"

“They whipped me, tortured me, fed me poison, inscribed talismans, controlled my body, and twisted my soul. I did not want to live such a humiliating life, so I attempted suicide by starvation several times, but they saved me and subjected me to even more cruel punishments.”

"From the past to the present, day and night, for a thousand years, a full thousand years! I have been enduring, enduring until I am almost on the verge of collapse. I can't endure it anymore. Please, save me!"

"Your Majesty! The bloodline of my clan originated from the royal family of the Hundred Immortal Ridge in the Eastern Wilderness, the Nether River Immortal Centipede. Later, our clan was attacked by a powerful enemy and forced to flee to other places. We were hunted by humans and then sold to the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect. I miss my homeland terribly. Can you take me back?"

The centipede, the ruler of the two palaces, pleaded desperately.

The Crimson Centipede King beside the Demon Emperor suddenly widened its eyes. The location of this immortal centipede was too remote for it to notice at first. In the lineage of their centipede clan, there was indeed such a line of Nether River Immortal Centipedes.

Moreover, while it's true that some of the spirit beasts and demon beasts of the Beast Taming Sect were purchased from other places, many others were hatched by themselves. Given this, the Crimson Centipede King should not have interfered. However, upon hearing the truth revealed, its expression was slightly moved, recalling its grandfather mentioning a close friend of the Nether River Immortal Centipede Clan.

"Your Majesty...this young man is indeed from Baixianling. If we can take him away, I humbly request Your Majesty's assistance."

The Crimson Centipede King made a tactful request, doing his utmost to ensure that the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect, a dominant force in the Western Sacred Land, was not someone to be trifled with.

It could neither continue to ignore the fate of the centipede, nor did it want to put His Majesty in a dangerous situation of fighting against the ultimate Dao Lord of the human race.

Therefore, it is necessary to mention this: let everything take its natural course; if you can save someone, then save them; if you can't, then don't.

Unfortunately, it currently only possesses the cultivation of a Seventh Palace Ruler. If it were a Ninth Palace Ruler today, even without troubling His Majesty, even at the cost of its own life, it would never compromise in a bloody battle with the Supreme Dao Lord of the Human Race.

As the Sunset Demon Emperor listened to the Centipede Immortal's words, he also kept an eye on the Crimson Centipede's expression, and he already knew what to do.

Just then, the prodigy of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect reached his psychological limit. He was a little scared and hurriedly turned his head to look at his own peerless elders, like a drowning person desperately trying to grab a lifeline.

"Your Majesty, the spirit beast's words are somewhat exaggerated. Since it entered our sect, our disciples have taken good care of it, feeding it countless precious medicines and healing its injuries. Unexpectedly, it has not changed its wild nature and has committed evil deeds several times, injuring many disciples. Therefore, our disciples have given it a minor punishment."

A Dao Lord at the mid-stage of the Supreme Realm spoke calmly, hoping the Demon Emperor could understand.

Then he said:

"This beast belongs to our sect, and we have spent a lot of resources to raise it. If Your Majesty the Demon Emperor wishes to take it away, we will naturally not dare to disobey. We only hope that Your Majesty the Demon Emperor can show us some respect and replace it with goods of equal value."

The Supreme Dao Lord made such a request because, to him, the value of a ruler of two palaces was negligible. He wouldn't even bother to control a spirit beast of that level if it were given to him.

However, the sect's prestige and reputation are immeasurable. If we were to untie and hand over the sect's spirit beasts today because of a single word from the Demon Emperor, it would greatly disappoint the sect's disciples and elders, causing their Dao hearts to waver and resulting in immeasurable harm.

Therefore, this ultimate powerhouse gave both sides a way out in a more tactful way.

His intentions were clearly revealed to the Demon Emperor, and were immediately rejected.

"I'm giving you two choices."

"I'll take it with me."

"You will die with it."

The Sunset Demon Emperor spoke calmly, forcing them to make a choice in front of everyone.

Even though its cultivation level far surpasses that of the three Supreme Dao Lords, the Centipede Immortal's soul is controlled by the Qingcang Sect, and it can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, the Sunset Demon King chose a brutal and simple method: either give me the people, or they all die.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene turned visibly cold and tense. The three Supreme Dao Lords looked wary and dared not make any rash moves, seemingly hesitating about whether to maintain their bottom line.

However, this idea lasted less than half a second before it completely collapsed.

The spirit pets beneath the three were all rare ancient beasts, some at the seventh palace level and others at the eighth palace level, and they were all giving them a warning.

"We must never disobey that demon emperor. Its strength is terrifying, far exceeding that of a million of us. We are no match for it."

"No need to be stubborn, it's time to back down, old friend. Its aura is even more terrifying than the sect leader's; it's beyond our ability to contend with..."

"There are still quite a few sect disciples here; we absolutely cannot start a war."

Unlike the centipede and other enslaved and ruled spirit beasts, the spirit beasts under the command of the three ultimate powerhouses were hatched by the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect from childhood and bound to their masters. Their relationship with them was like that of brothers and sisters. Therefore, considering the pros and cons from the perspective of the human race, they all advised the three supreme Dao Lords not to act impulsively.

After a standoff lasting more than ten seconds, it was the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect that finally yielded.

"Let it go!"

At the command of the supreme Dao Lord, the prodigy who had enslaved the centipede understood immediately, forming hand seals and chanting an ancient incantation.

Soon, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the restriction embedded in the centipede's body disappeared. Hundreds of disciples dared not linger and took to the air on their swords to leave its body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

The centipede was moved to tears and, at the fastest speed he had ever traveled through the void, arrived at the side of the Sunset Demon Emperor, still feeling as if it were a dream.

After a thousand years of waiting, freedom has finally arrived. It is an unprecedented joy, an exhilarating experience.

"From now on, I will be your most loyal servant," the centipede swore.

"Ah."

The Sunset Demon Emperor simply responded with a light hum, not taking it to heart.

That calm demeanor was as if a billionaire had refused a street beggar's offer of help, only to receive a promise to repay the debt of gratitude in the future, without a care in the world.

Upon witnessing the centipede regain its freedom, the many enslaved spirit beasts present were instantly filled with fervent desires, igniting bold ideas within them.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of us; how can we remain indifferent?

"Your Majesty, this junior also desires freedom!!! I no longer wish to be a slave to the human race!!"

"Help me! Your Majesty!"

A giant tiger with dark, melt-colored fur raised its head and let out a long roar. The violent movement shook the chains on its body, startling the beast-taming disciples on its back and head, whose expressions changed drastically, and they shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to offer you all our loyalty! We wish to venerate you as Emperor, the supreme Emperor! We beg you, please take us away from this hellish situation!!"

"Your Majesty, we don't want to be controlled by humans in a daze, nor do we want to become their tools of slaughter! Your Majesty, can you hear our cries?!"

"His Majesty!!!!"

In just a few breaths, waves of cries rose and fell, with more than a hundred spirit beasts of varying cultivation levels pleading for help. Their numbers were growing, creating a tremendous uproar.

"Shut up!"

Witnessing this scene, an arrogant supreme Dao Lord who regarded the demon race as servants directly threatened in a cold voice, his sharp eyes sweeping backward, his pressure exploding, almost in the most cruel and direct way, wanting to kill all the spirit beasts that had harbored rebellious thoughts in an instant.

However, before that power could spread, it was suddenly wiped away by a pair of invisible hands.

The cold glint in the Sunset Demon King's eyes intensified, and a chilling smile crept onto its lips:

"Fellow Daoist, if you have grievances, why resort to veiled insults? Making things difficult for these little fellows is a joke. Why not direct your anger at me and let me bear the brunt of your wrath?"

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor, you must have something to say..."

"Boom!!"

The Supreme Dao Lord, who had been giving him a cold look, felt a chill run down his spine. He belatedly realized just how out of line he had been, but before he could explain, he had no chance to do so.

An extremely terrifying pressure crashed down violently upon him, pouring entirely onto him.

Before he could even finish speaking, his internal organs suddenly shattered, his bones turned to dust, and his flesh turned into rotten blood. He fell from the sky, covered in blood, and was firmly embedded in the ground. His pupils were dilated, and he could hardly get up again.

In a single head-on clash, the powerful cultivator at the mid-stage of the Supreme Dao Lord realm was completely suppressed by the Sunset Demon Emperor, who was at the peak of the Nine Palaces and Nine Stars realm.

In other scenarios, or in the past, the two might have been able to go back and forth.

But at this moment, the Demon Emperor, who had just returned from the burial ground, was already much stronger and needed to establish his authority. So he didn't hesitate and attacked directly. With a single glance, he severely injured the unfortunate Supreme Dao Lord, who fell to the ground.

"!"

"!!!"

This terrifying scene made the other two Supreme Dao Lords' scalps tingle. It wasn't until the other party made a move that they realized just how vast the gap was between them!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they resembled fireflies and the bright moon!

Such a powerful demon, even if the sect leader himself came, might not be able to subdue it!

If even the Supreme Dao Lord was like this, the other disciples and elders were even more horrified and at a loss.

"Bullying the weak is nothing. If you have the guts, stand up and try hunting me."

The Sunset Demon Emperor looked down at the disheveled figure on the ground. The latter stood up shakily, his face filled with fear, all his previous arrogance gone. He remained silent, enduring the harsh insults.

"You have three breaths to resolve this; if you fail, you will all die."

The Sunset Demon Emperor continued coldly, his captivating eyes like a black sun, reigning supreme over the eight wastelands, with no one daring to gaze upon them.

"Yes."

The two Supreme Dao Lords of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect, with solemn expressions, bowed and showed their reluctance, indicating that they would grant the request.

Then, they ordered all the disciples and elders present to break the curse, freeing the rebellious spirit beasts. In an instant, they all rushed into the Demon Emperor's camp, letting out long howls that pierced the clouds and shattered rocks, their voices echoing for miles.

The entire process lasted less than three minutes.
