Master of the Demon Emperor

Upon witnessing the Sea Emperor claim the Sea-Devouring Giant Kun, Su Yie spoke, "Congratulations to the Sea Emperor for taming the Ancient Vicious Insect."

Under his deliberate control, eight Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants burrowed into his body, keeping their existence unknown to the Sea Emperor.

Being a fellow member of Emperor Su's Sect, the Sea Emperor naturally would not use his Divine Sense to probe Su Yie.

The Sea Emperor!

Liu Qing and Zuo Fuqing's eyes widened once more, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing and hearing.

Was this enigmatic figure before them truly the legendary ruler of the Endless Ocean?

Compared to the Sea Emperor, the Xuanhai Bone Demon was nothing!

The Sea Emperor glanced at the two, nodded to Su Yie, and said, "We have each taken what we needed, and now we part ways."

After speaking, he left in haste.

He certainly did not want to reveal his affiliation with Emperor Su's Sect.

Once his identity was exposed, his rule over the Endless Ocean would be shaken.

Watching him leave, Zuo Fuqing exclaimed with a sigh, "The Demon Emperor, treated as a public enemy by the entire Endless Ocean, was actually able to enlist the Sea Emperor. If this news were to spread, who would believe it?"

Liu Qing was equally shocked and even uncertain how to respond to Zuo Fuqing's remark.

Su Yie snorted, "Let's go and continue on our journey."

Now his mind was fixated on the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants.

If appropriately cultivated, the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants, which ranked among the top ten of Ancient Vicious Insects, would be a magnificent spectacle as billions of them swarmed out at the wave of his right hand.

Gods blocking, kill the gods; demons blocking, slay the demons!

Thinking of this, Su Yie's heart surged with excitement.

According to what Sword of Defeated Grudges said, all that was needed was to feed the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants True Sunflame for them to grow rapidly.

The energy contained in the True Sunflame was undoubtedly the best nourishment for them in this era.

The three continued onwards.

Seeing Su Yie feed the eight Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants with True Sunflame, Liu Qing and Zuo Fuqing were dumbfounded.

"Ants that eat fire?"

Liu Qing swallowed hard, and for some reason, these eight ants gave him chills.

Zuo Fuqing's brow furrowed, and he suddenly realized something, exclaiming, "Could they be Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants? Those are Ancient Vicious Insects that once ravaged the Ancient Wilderness! Once mature, even the Sea-Devouring Giant Kuns become their food, or rather, all living beings become their prey!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing gasped, and his gaze towards the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants turned even more wary.

Su Yie was taken aback, were Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants stronger than the Sea-Devouring Giant Kun?

Feeding on all living beings!

That suited him well; wasn't that essentially the path he walked, as an enemy of all living beings?

"The Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants are an absolute opportunity, possibly even rivaling that of the Imperial Palace!"

Sword of Defeated Grudges said haughtily, as though it was his own fortune.

Feng Long couldn't watch any longer and snorted, "Keep boasting. How terrifying Ancient Vicious Insects are, you can easily be devoured by them."

The two Sword Souls commenced their verbal sparring within Su Yie's mind.

Su Yie did not pay attention and eyed the eight Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants, growing fonder of them.

The three continued on their way.

News of the Sea-Devouring Giant Kun's emergence did not spread, but instead, Su Yie's movements caused an uproar in the Endless Ocean.

"The Demon Emperor dares to re-enter the Endless Ocean?"

"We cannot tolerate this! He wants to plunder our luck again!"

"It is said that the Demon Emperor has appeared in the Ancient Ice Sea!"

"Is there no mighty being in the Endless Ocean capable of executing the Demon Emperor?"

"Why not crowdfund it, and have the Hai Chuan Alliance issue a bounty on his head!"

In no time at all, countless creatures began to gather, ready to join forces to kill Su Yie.

Su Yie received the news through the Emperor Su's Sect. He didn't care, but Nan Xiaopao, Xia Tianyi, and others were very worried.

They even urged Su Yie to give up on that Mystical City.

Why should he push himself to the brink of death for the sake of others?

Even with the support of the Emperor Su's Sect, could Su Yie continually provide an endless stream of resources in return?

Su Yie really wanted to say he could, but he held back.

Regardless, he was determined to save that Mystical City, not just for the people there, but also for himself and Nan Xiaopao.

At the moment, he was feeding the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants with True Sunflame in one hand and holding the Immortal Gate Map in the other.

The Immortal Gate Map was blurry, showing two towering mountains piercing the clouds, with the Immortal Gate above the sea of clouds.

He inquired about this place with Liu Qing and Zuo Fuqing, but they were clueless.

As for the Emperor Su's Sect, he dared not ask. The Immortal Gate was an irresistible temptation for most members of the Emperor Su's Sect. Once revealed, how could they lift the Karmic Tribulation Technique?

What if the Immortal Gate only allowed entry once?

What if the Immortal Gate was destroyed?

Su Yie suffered from persecution paranoia; he always considered the most dangerous possibilities when faced with problems.

Time passed, and five days went by. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

Under the nurturing of the True Sunflame, all eight Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants had grown significantly larger.

Liu Qing and Zuo Fuqing now understood why the Sea-Devouring Giant Kun could grow so big.

Whoosh—

A sudden sound of something tearing through the air came from ahead, a black spear unstoppable in its trajectory. Su Yie's eyes snapped open, and two Golden Crows flew out from his gaze, instantly enveloping the black spear. Just as the black spear was about to pierce Su Yie, it was incinerated by the True Sunflame.

Liu Qing and Zuo Fuqing quickly stood up from the Banana Leaf. They looked intently ahead and saw a black line emerging from the horizon, growing thicker and thicker.

Upon a closer look, it was an innumerable number of beings, wielding magic artifacts and charging towards them.

There were cultivators, sea monsters, and other unique creatures from various races, all staring fixatedly at Su Yie.

Their auras were strong, and the strongest among them even surpassed the Heavenly Void Realm.

Immortal Destiny Realm!

To reach the Immortal Destiny Realm was to become akin to an Immortal God of the Land, free to roam for tens of thousands of years!

"Demon Emperor! You still dare come to the Endless Ocean! Today shall be your death!"

In the midst of the army, an elder in a black robe shouted sternly. His hair was grizzled, but his body was robust, known as Lin Daochen. He held some fame in the Endless Ocean.

Having recently established his own sect to expand his influence, he specifically came to slay the Demon Emperor.

He leaped up and flew above the army, swinging his sword as he shouted, "Warriors of the Endless Ocean, if you slay the Demon Emperor, you will be heroes!"

His words stirred all the beings even more, as they all rushed towards Su Yie.

This army had at least a million strong. Had their numbers been smaller, they wouldn't have dared charge.

Yet some beings halted in their tracks.

Not all beings could be so easily fooled. Just as Lin Daochen feared the Emperor Su's Sect, so did these beings; they didn't let greed cloud their judgement.

Witnessing the million-strong army charging at them, Liu Qing and Zuo Fuqing both tensed up.

With only the Spiritual Void Realm in cultivation, they naturally feared such a massive army.

Su Yie slowly rose to his feet. With a flip of his right hand, the Sword of Defeated Grudges appeared in his grasp, which he violently hurled forward.

Forty-one thousand Dragon's Strength!

With a thunderous explosion!

The air itself was torn apart by the sword's edge, deafening to hear.

The Sword of Defeated Grudges stretched across ten thousand meters, slicing directly into the million-strong army. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and no one could withstand it.

Other beings quickly cast spells aiming from afar at Su Yie.

Su Yie's eyes narrowed sharply as two Golden Crows flew out, rapidly enlarging, each with a wingspan of a hundred zhang, blocking all the spells, illuminating the entire heavens and earth with their fiery light.
