It is their clan's good fortune to have such a rising star.
Ling Fan shook his head and said, "No need. They are just a rabble, incapable of achieving anything significant. As for the Tian Luo Sect, if they dare to come and avenge Luo Yun... that would be even better. I would have to thank them!"
"After all, I am in dire need of cultivation resources right now. Yes, I am truly in great need. The Tian Luo Sect is the only Seven-Star Martial Dao power in the two domains. They shouldn't disappoint me too much, hehe."
Ling Fan spoke with a casual air, almost as if he were joking.
However, those who knew him understood that he was absolutely not joking.
He was genuinely contemplating the matter.
What he said, he would absolutely do!
Wei Bin's eyes lit up.
It would be great if the Tian Luo Sect met with misfortune.
That would be the most desired outcome for their Wei Kingdom!
Perhaps he could even leverage his relationship with Ling Fan to take their place!
Such thoughts were incredibly appealing.
Wei Bin, in his excitement, once again felt the urge to recommend his sisters to Ling Fan.
After all, if Ling Fan could become his brother-in-law, their Wei Kingdom would soar to new heights!
As the powerful experts of the Tian Luo Sect fled in disarray,
The experts of the Demon Suppressing Clan went to rebuild their homes.
Wei Bin, that fellow, tried to curry favor with Ling Fan for a while before being kicked away by Ling Fan.
Ling Fan was left alone with the colossal, headless demonic corpse floating in the void.
The demon seed continued to devour the demonic corpse.
This process could not be rushed.
It would likely take at least several more months to completely refine the demonic corpse.
Ling Fan released a crystal ball.
Inside, a head shrouded in black mist was like a headless fly, crashing around erratically.
Upon seeing Ling Fan, the head immediately revealed a ferocious and resentful expression, charging fiercely towards Ling Fan.
However, it was blocked by the crystal ball's crystalline barrier, and could only rage impotently at Ling Fan from within the ball.
Ling Fan sneered, "Save your strength."
"You dare to imprison this Demon Emperor! I will tear you limb from limb! Just you wait, when I break free, the first thing I will do is extract your soul and refine your spirit, making you wish for death but be unable to find it!"
"Oh, really?"
Ling Fan remained noncommittal.
"Since you know who I am, you should be aware of my methods. Honestly tell me all the information I want to know, or you will die a painful death."
Ling Fan said calmly.
"Stop trying to scare me! So what if you are that Qing Yun Emperor? In your prime, you could be killed by all ten Heavenly Realms, and now you are like an ant. If you dare to show yourself, you will be annihilated in an instant, with no possibility of rebirth!"
"Although I have fallen into your hands, you are currently only at the Giant Spirit realm. What can you do to me? Even the peak Manifestation realm expert of the Wang family could only suppress my body and grind me away bit by bit. If you can destroy me now, I'll be your dog! But can you do it? Do you still think you are that invincible Great Heavenly Venerate who once dominated the ten Heavenly Realms?"
The Demon Emperor cackled sinisterly.
It flew around triumphantly within the crystal ball, mocking Ling Fan.
Ling Fan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he remained silent.
The Demon Emperor, thinking Ling Fan was afraid, became even more arrogant.
"Did the Demon Suppressing Clan tell you that there is a Three-Star Demon Emperor outside the Nine Flowers Realm? There are even more Manifestation realm Demon Saints. Once the spatial passage to the Nine Flowers Realm stabilizes, that Three-Star Demon Emperor will kill his way in, and you will all be finished!"
"Now, release me honestly, and then kneel and surrender to me. I can still protect you. What do you say, consider it!"
The Demon Emperor's head floated leisurely within the crystal ball.
It harbored a sliver of hope in its heart.
Who was the Qing Yun Emperor?
He was a peerless powerhouse who had once suppressed the ten Heavenly Realms alone, making the Heavenly Venerates of all realms unable to lift their heads.
It would not be an exaggeration to say he was the greatest powerhouse in all of history.
If it could subdue the Qing Yun Emperor, it would truly become incredibly powerful!
Moreover, the Qing Yun Emperor was proficient in all paths, practically a living library of scriptures. It could obtain the supreme demonic techniques of the Heavenly Demon clan from him, and then it would soar!
Becoming a supreme ancestor would be within reach.
The more the Demon Emperor thought about it, the more pleased it became.
It even began to fantasize about its glorious return to the Great Emperor realm and even breaking through to the Heavenly Venerate realm one day.
Just as the Demon Emperor was daydreaming,
Suddenly, with a *bang*!
A brilliant and terrifying burst of fire erupted from the Demon Emperor's head.
"Ah!"
The Demon Emperor let out a scream of agony. An extreme burning sensation shot straight into its soul, causing it to thrash wildly in pain.
"Ah, it burns! What did you do? Stop it!"
The terrifying flames on the Demon Emperor's head grew increasingly intense, igniting all the demonic energy within the head. Flames spewed from the Demon Emperor's eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth. The scene was utterly tragic.
"Damn it! Why won't this fire go out!"
The Demon Emperor attempted to suppress the terrifying flames with its demonic energy.
However, it discovered that the flames were completely unfazed by the suppression of demonic energy; they burned even more fiercely, threatening to turn everything into ashes.
"This is not ordinary fire! Damn it, this is spiritual fire... this is..."
The Demon Emperor's mind raced as it tried to recall.
"This is the Red Lotus Demonic Fire! Damn it, where did you get such a high-grade demonic fire! This demonic fire is rare even in the Heavenly Demon Realm..."
The Demon Emperor suddenly became fearful.
If it were in its peak state, it would naturally not fear the Red Lotus Demonic Fire.
It could suppress the demonic fire with a mere wave of its hand.
But the crucial point was that it was not in its peak state!
Let alone its peak state, it was arguably at its weakest point in history.
It could truly be burned to ashes by this strange and difficult Red Lotus Demonic Fire.
"Stop burning! You want information, don't you? I'll give it to you! I'll tell you everything I know, just put out this damned demonic fire!"
The Demon Emperor screamed in terror and pain.
Wisps of smoke rose from its body.
The head was becoming smaller and smaller.
"I've suddenly changed my mind. You can just die. You've been suppressed here for hundreds of years, and you don't have much valuable information left. Didn't that Three-Star Demon Emperor send in a batch of Demon Saints? I'll just capture one and interrogate them."
A red lotus mark flashed in Ling Fan's eyes.
The Red Lotus Demonic Fire surged.
*Crackling*.
The Demon Emperor's head was being burned and distorted.
The fierce flames cast flickering shadows on Ling Fan's indifferent face.
It had to be said that the Demon Emperor's head and soul were extremely resilient. The Red Lotus Demonic Fire raged for a full seven days and seven nights.
Only then was the Demon Emperor completely incinerated.
To be safe, Ling Fan did not devour the Demon Emperor's head or its soul.
The risk involved in doing so was too great.
At the very least, it had once been a One-Star Demon Emperor, and it might have had some hidden trump cards.
