Master of the Demon Emperor

"Damn! Is that even human?"

After regaining his senses, the Crimson Flame Lion King couldn't help but curse.

Xia Tianyi didn't take pride in himself, ignored the Crimson Flame Lion King, and asked Su Yie, "Have you learned it?"

"I have,"

Su Yie calmly replied, knowing that when it was his turn to show off, he absolutely must!

Xia Tianyi nodded in approval and said, "You practice for a day. After mastering All Under Heaven Facing East, we will then practice Twin Sword Sovereigns."

Su Yie had no objections. Having the opportunity to learn All Under Heaven Facing East and Twin Sword Sovereigns, he was already at an advantage and naturally would not be overeager to achieve immediate success.

The Crimson Flame Lion King interrupted, "It seemed like you accidentally killed many monsters just now."

This is the might of the Sword Saint, killing demons as if stepping on ants, with no ripple in his heart!

Xia Tianyi said indifferently, "It wasn't by accident."

Uh...

The Crimson Flame Lion King couldn't help but mourn for those monsters.

Xia Tianyi told Su Yie, "Those monsters were the subordinates of the Evil Bat Demon, intending to attack your Yaojian Mountain. I helped you kill them so you could have peace of mind and focus on your sword training!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yie furrowed his brows.

Evil Bat Demon!

He had heard of this name before.

A big monster next to Bailing Territory, as strong as, if not stronger than, the Demon Emperor.

Why would he target Yaojian Mountain?

Could it be that he covets the lucrative land of Bailing Territory?

Su Yie quickly speculated about many things, then immediately, he stopped pondering and walked forward with his sword, ready to practice All Under Heaven Facing East.

Nan Xiaopao was no longer at Yaojian Mountain. To put it bluntly, even if Yaojian Mountain was destroyed, he would not be too sad, at most angry for a while.

The Crimson Flame Lion King sidled up to Xia Tianyi and began chatting, "Sword Saint, what exactly is your relationship with the Demon Lord?"

Xia Tianyi glanced at him with cold eyes and did not speak.

The Crimson Flame Lion King, frightened, quickly retreated, cursing in his heart, "What's so great about the Sword Saint! Sooner or later, he will be surpassed by my Demon Lord!"

Su Yie indeed possessed exceptional comprehension of the sword. In less than a day, he had learned All Under Heaven Facing East.

However, his All Under Heaven Facing East was far inferior to Xia Tianyi's version.

The next day, Xia Tianyi began teaching Su Yie Twin Sword Sovereigns.

Twin Sword Sovereigns was not as grand and earth-shattering as All Under Heaven Facing East. This technique was a dual sword version of Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword and was much faster.

It did not require a grip; the twin swords moved with the heart, preventing any enemy from getting close.

Xia Tianyi's Twin Sword Sovereigns were so fast that Su Yie's eyes couldn't keep up, let alone the Crimson Flame Lion King.

Several days later.

The White Mountain Bull King fled back to his own territory, complaining to the Evil Bat Demon.

Those hundred thousand demon soldiers were his elite troops, accompanying him through life and death for many years, yet they all perished, including one of his arms being severed.

In the cave, dozens of Demon Kings gathered.

"What? Xia Tianyi!"

The Evil Bat Demon jumped up from his seat, and the crowd below was equally shaken.

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi, a name that struck fear in people, was widely known even among the Demon Clan.

"Xia Tianyi? How could he be here?"

"What a coincidence? Xia Tianyi just happened to annihilate your demon soldiers?"

"You really have bad luck!"

"I don't believe it, Xia Tianyi just finished challenging Overlord Luo Fu, he's probably still recuperating!"

"But among the Seven Dynasties, who else possesses such powerful Sword Qi?"

The Demon Kings discussed animatedly, their words filled with fear and disbelief.

Even the Evil Bat Demon was but a little brother in front of Xia Tianyi; how could they not be alarmed?

The Evil Bat Demon sat down, his face grim.

He would not believe that the White Mountain Bull King was mistaken.

Xia Tianyi might have really come!

Killing a hundred thousand monsters in one move, how could Xia Tianyi be unintentional!

"Hold off on any actions for now, send scouts to investigate. Once Xia Tianyi leaves, then we'll make our move!"

The Evil Bat Demon said grimly, almost clenching his teeth as he spoke.

He had ambitiously prepared for this battle, but Xia Tianyi had appeared unexpectedly!

How could he not be frustrated?

"Report—"

Just then, an Imp rushed in, clearly in a great hurry, signaling that something significant had occurred.

"What's the panicking about!"

The White Mountain Bull King, feeling moody, kicked the Imp over.

The Imp knelt on the ground and spoke to the Evil Bat Demon, "Upheaval in the Seven Dynasties!"

Compared to the Bailing Territory, the Evil Bat Demon was keener on conquering the Seven Dynasties, not just to feast on humans but also to earn favor with the Overlord Luo Fu.

"What upheaval?"

The Evil Bat Demon angrily asked, could more bad news be on the way?

"Mighty Tang... has joined forces with the Western Buddha and declared war on Great Wei!"

"The other four dynasties have also allied with Great Wei to counter Mighty Tang and Western Buddha; the Human Clan is in chaos!"

The Imp explained everything in one breath, leaving the cave in silence.

The Evil Bat Demon was stunned at first but then became excited and exclaimed, "Good! Let it be chaotic!"

At that moment, he wished he could lift Emperor Li Mengde of Mighty Tang and kiss him wildly, as this truly was an assist to him!

During the internal conflict among the Human Clan, he could benefit as the fisherman who reaps the rewards.

The Demon Kings also grew excited.

...

Six days later.

Xia Tianyi bid farewell to Su Yie, focusing on him and saying, "Next time we meet, I hope you are stronger, do not disgrace 'All Under Heaven Facing East' and 'Twin Sword Sovereigns'!"

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Su Yie couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"To find the Sword God!"

Xia Tianyi said without looking back, leaving behind a lonely and resolute silhouette.

Stay updated with empire

The Sword God?

Lu Ziwei?

Su Yie blinked, wondering what would have happened if he had recruited Lu Ziwei into Emperor Su's Sect?

Possibly, Xia Tianyi's challenge would have not been Luo Fu the Overlord, but Lu Ziwei.

"Demon Lord, let's return,"

The Crimson Flame Lion proactively lay down at Su Yie's feet, chuckling.

He had witnessed Su Yie practicing swordsmanship, now filled with anticipation for Su Yie to lead Yaojian Mountain to new heights.

Su Yie nodded, leaping onto its back.

The Crimson Flame Lion carried him, running in the opposite direction.

Destination: Yaojian Mountain.

...

Beneath the Sky Dome.

Yaojian Mountain, like the three fingers of a giant, stood erect upon the land.

At this moment, the monsters of the grassland were all tense, their gazes all directed towards the west, where on the horizon stood a Golden Buddha, a hundred Zhang tall, looking towards Yaojian Mountain.

He resembled a Buddha statue enshrined in a temple, even his eyes seemed coated in gold; he stared motionlessly at Yaojian Mountain, causing tens of thousands of monsters to be filled with terror.

"Is this guy human or ghost?"

"Why doesn't he move?"

"Something's off, could he be just an illusion?"

"With such a powerful aura, how could he be just an illusion!"

"Could this Great Buddha be from the Western Buddha Dynasty?"

The monsters discussed among themselves, and even the Demon Kings of Yaojian Mountain were nervous.

Ying Tianchou stood in front of a cliff on a neighboring peak, looking at the Golden Buddha, his brow furrowed as he muttered, "Even the Western Buddha Dynasty doesn't have such a powerful Buddha; who is he, and what is his purpose?"

No one answered him, as everyone on Yaojian Mountain shared his confusion.

After an unknown amount of time,

the Golden Buddha suddenly spoke, "Amitabha, when will the Demon Lord return?"

Ying Tianchou asked loudly, "Your Excellency, what do you want with our Yaojian Mountain Demon Lord?"

"My Great Profound Sound Temple wishes to take him in as part of the Heavenly Eightfold Dragon to help him navigate through the sea of suffering!"

The Golden Buddha answered, his voice solemn, as if he were a real Buddha.
