Great Demon Sun Wukong

This sentence was naturally spoken by Xi Zhao. However, just as Xi Zhao's words fell, a figure suddenly shot out from behind him, and simultaneously, another person dashed out from behind Mo Wu at an extremely fast speed. A golden light flickered behind Xi Zhao, while a deep black light radiated from behind Mo Wu. A golden and a pitch-black light clashed in an instant. Then, a burst of pure light aura and a rich evil Demonic Qi suddenly exploded.

After this clash, the two lights obviously had no intention of stopping. Instead, their brightness and momentum surged, and they collided fiercely once more. The tremendous impact of this collision caused ripples in space itself, like water waves, and the light from both figures gradually faded. Enveloped within the golden light was Rogue Heart Sword Hero, clad in shining golden light Armor.

The Tang Blade in his hand, which was originally pitch-black, had somehow also turned golden. Waves of pure and sacred light spread from the blade in all directions. Affected by the golden light, Xi Zhao and his people felt a sense of comfort throughout their bodies, and the flow of their Spiritual Power seemed much smoother than usual; even their cells were incredibly active. In contrast, the people from Annihilation Demon Nation all frowned and kept retreating, as if they greatly disliked the golden light. However, the few individuals from the Ancient Primordial World didn't feel much, since Buddhism is inherently sacred. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

The black figure was Wan Jun from Annihilation Demon Nation. He too was enshrouded in pitch-black Armor, and the Domain Instrument, Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, continuously emitted the most authentic Demonic Qi, contending with the bright aura from the Demon-breaking Slash. At this moment, with their blades locked, both of their faces carried expressions of deep-seated hatred. Particularly the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, whose eyes seemed dark enough to drip blood.

The actions of these two caused Xi Zhao and Mo Wu alike to startle, for neither of them had expected that, without uttering a single word upon meeting, the two would cross swords directly, engaging in a fight to the death. In fact, even when Xi Zhao saw Mo Wu and Long Tian, despite the hatred buried deep in his heart erupting immediately, his restraint honed over a million years still allowed him to greet them with a smile.

Xi Zhao knew Mo Wu and Long Tian very well because he had personally promoted them. Back when Xi Zhao was a Demon Monarch, he roamed the entire Annihilation Demon Nation as a knight-errant, and it was during this time that he encountered Mo Wu and Long Tian by chance. At that time, Mo Wu and Long Tian were merely at the One Pattern level of Cultivation, insignificant compared to Xi Zhao.

However, Xi Zhao never disdained them for their status, and instead became good friends with the two, training and cultivating together. Only when Xi Zhao returned to the Annihilation Demon Palace did he reveal his true identity. Although the two were initially fearful, years of brotherhood still made them Xi Zhao's closest companions. And so, when Xi Zhao returned to the Annihilation Demon Nation to become the leading figure of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, Mo Wu naturally became a member of Xi Zhao's personal guard.

Long Tian, due to his special nature, was sent by Xi Zhao to the Myriad Demons Country, not as an undercover agent but to foster better growth and cultivation—for Long Tian's true form was a non-pureblooded Ancestral Dragon. It was after this, with recommendations from Mo Wu and Xi Zhao's support, that Mo You gained his later status. One could say that Mo Wu, Mo You, and Long Tian were all favored by Xi Zhao.

But during the rebellion led by Mo Mietian, these three directly betrayed Xi Zhao; the closest brothers turned into the most lethal traitors. It was precisely because of Mo Wu and Mo You that Xi Zhao lost the World Suppressing Stele, faced with everyone turning their backs on him, and almost met with the destruction of his soul. For Xi Zhao, Mo Wu, Mo You, and Long Tian were the three people he hated the most.

As they say, intense love begets intense hatred; Xi Zhao could understand and even accept the betrayal by Mo Mietian, but not that of Mo Wu, Mo You, and Long Tian. Following a great battle where Mo You's face was disfigured, he always concealed his identity under a black cloak, which is why Xi Zhao did not recognize the black-clothed figure standing behind Mo Wu as Mo You at a glance.

Amid such towering hatred, the moment Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun crossed swords, it boiled over to the extreme. Almost without giving an order, Xi Zhao's entire being erupted with an intense frosty aura. Everyone present, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun included, felt as if they had suddenly entered a world of bitter cold and snow. It seemed that with each breath, they inhaled a cold stream that gradually started to freeze their internal organs.

Xi Zhao, this time, was truly enraged. He had taken action before, but he had never really given his all. And now, although still not using his full strength, he had already employed most of his power. Xi Zhao was very familiar with Mo Wu and Long Tian and understood that their powers were definitely formidable. If he held back, it might not only be impossible to kill the two, but he might even risk his own demise. Although Xi Zhao had recovered most of his power from his previous life, he no longer had the World Suppressing Stele in hand, nor did he have any formidable Magic Treasures to wield.

However, speaking of Magic Treasures, Xi Zhao suddenly remembered something, to be precise, two things. The near-million years of solitude in the Netherworld World had accustomed Xi Zhao to relying on his own Soul Power for fighting, so except for the two azure iron rings in his hand, he was not accustomed to using any Magic Treasures.

But now the situation was different, with a deadly foe before him, every bit of strength added to his chances of victory. As the thought occurred, a piece of Armor had already appeared on Xi Zhao's body, a black armor with golden yellow patterns etched into it—not just anything, but the Supreme Treasure Demon Emperor Armor given to Xi Zhao by Yue Huangquan.

Although this Armor was not a Domain Instrument, its own material was extremely rare. Even with Xi Zhao's former status as the foremost figure of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, he had only managed to forge such a suit of Armor, and that too was only an upper body Armor, without even a battle skirt. The Demon Emperor Armor had also accompanied Xi Zhao for a very long stretch of years, having saved Xi Zhao's life countless times in critical moments. It should be known that even as the preeminent individual of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, there were still many places in the universe whose dangers alarmed him.

When the Demon Emperor Armor appeared, Xi Zhao's whole demeanor suddenly changed. An ancient and ferocious aura spread across the heavens and the earth, as if a Tongtian colossus was awakening, and a nostalgic expression inevitably appeared on Xi Zhao's face. Wearing the Demon Emperor Armor, Xi Zhao seemed to once again become the supreme being that had once dominated the heavens and the earth.

Then, with a flip of his left hand, a palm-sized Token suddenly appeared in his palm. The Annihilation Order, also one of Xi Zhao's most frequently used weapons from his past life, was slightly damaged, but in Xi Zhao's hands, it still possessed formidable Combat Power. And these two items were also acquired from Yue Huangquan.

When Mo Wu and Long Tian saw the Armor that suddenly appeared on Xi Zhao's body, their expressions changed drastically, but they still managed to stay composed. However, when they saw that Token, the two of them didn't hesitate to turn and flee. Having lost the World Suppressing Stele and with their identity still undiscovered by Xi Zhao, alongside the three Demonic Weasels, they definitely had the strength to contend. Furthermore, Xi Zhao's current strength was only about eighty percent of his prime. As long as there was no help from others, the three even had the confidence to join forces and slay Xi Zhao once again.

If Xi Zhao was to die this time, it would be death forever. However, when the Demon Emperor Armor appeared, all three's expressions changed drastically. Wearing the Demon Emperor Armor, Xi Zhao's strength was definitely on par with his past self. In this case, although a battle was still possible, killing him would be very difficult.

And when the three saw that palm-sized, pitch-black Token, they immediately turned and ran without a second thought. It was a joke—they were facing the Annihilation Order. It could summon the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent in its strongest state, a creature that mortals couldn't contend with. To not flee now, there would only be one path left: death.

These three fled, but the battle between Wan Jun and Rogue Heart Sword Hero had already reached a fever pitch. The hatred between the two had deepened to the point where words and probing were completely unnecessary. All that needed to be done was to fight to the death!
