"You, the Happy Demon Emperor? You dared to order me around just now. I'll start with you."
Ling Fan revealed a playful smile.
He first set his sights on Ha Pi, the strongest among these Demon Emperors.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you. I am a peak Fourth-tier Demon Emperor!"
Ha Pi Demon Emperor felt the humiliation of being looked down upon and let out an angry roar. Immediately, rolling demonic sounds swept in all directions like powerful wind and waves. His demonic body swelled, pointing to the sky and stepping on the earth. At the same time, he grabbed the void with his palm, and a giant demon axe appeared. It was a top-grade mid-tier Emperor weapon in its full state, almost on par with the remnant imperial seal of Liu Wang City Lord Liu Zhong, exuding an incredibly powerful aura.
Boom!
Ha Pi Demon Emperor held the demon axe with both hands and chopped down.
At the same time.
Four eyes on his forehead shot out terrifying demonic light, and intense mental illusions enveloped Ling Fan, as if trying to drag Ling Fan's soul into an endless demonic prison.
"Showing off in front of an expert."
Ling Fan smiled faintly.
With a casual remark.
All the terrifying demonic mental illusions shattered like a broken mirror.
"Ah!"
Ha Pi Demon Emperor let out a miserable cry. The four strange eyes on his forehead, along with the bulging tumor on his brow, cracked open, leaving behind bloody tears.
Ling Fan then extended a palm.
The demon axe immediately got stuck there.
Unable to advance an inch.
"This axe is a top-grade mid-tier Emperor weapon, and its material is very rare. Some of its materials can be used to forge high-grade Emperor weapons. It's quite good for strengthening my heaven and earth."
Ling Fan chuckled.
Then, in a pair of terrified eyes.
Crack!
With a squeeze.
The incredibly sturdy top-grade mid-tier Emperor weapon was crushed by Ling Fan's bare hands. The Emperor weapon spirit inside let out a scream and abruptly stopped. The entire Emperor weapon instantly turned into a torrent and was swallowed into Ling Fan's body.
"Crunch, crunch."
The strongmen of the Nine-Eyed Imperial Demon Clan were chilled to the bone, their teeth chattering.
They looked at Ling Fan as if he were a demon.
"Collect!"
Ling Fan grabbed out with his hand, and an irresistible giant force directly suppressed Ha Pi Demon Emperor and pulled him into the Yanluo Hall.
"The first Fourth-tier Profound Demon Emperor."
Ling Fan began to count.
Then his body descended sharply, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
"The second one."
With a grab of his left hand.
That Ha Si Demon Emperor could not escape death and was instantly suppressed into a puppet of the Yanluo Hall.
"The third one..."
"The fourth one..."
...
"The seventh one!"
When the last Fourth-tier Profound Demon Emperor was also suppressed.
All the strongmen of the Nine-Eyed Imperial Demon Clan were so scared they almost wet their pants, their minds collapsed, and they scattered like birds and beasts.
Ling Fan, on the principle of not wasting anything.
Released the Yanluo Hall.
Immediately, streams of suction enveloped billions of spaces.
The current Yanluo Hall, with seven Fourth-tier Profound Emperors and five Half-step Profound Emperors as its core, possessed terrifying power. Once released, it sealed the heavens and suppressed the earth, even sucking back the Nine-Eyed Imperial Demon Clan powerhouses who had already fled hundreds of thousands, even millions, of miles away.
Then their bodies were shattered.
They turned into giant demonic dragons and merged into Ling Fan's heaven and earth.
"Satisfying!"
"It's a pity that the Half-step Heavenly Emperor, who used his body as a formation to suppress and obliterate that Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor, condensed his last bit of strength into this ancient Emperor scripture. If I could have obtained his Half-step Heavenly Emperor origin, my heaven and earth could have expanded further."
"What a pity. What a pity."
Ling Fan shook his head.
He felt a slight regret.
He glanced at the Demon Sealing Great Tomb, thought for a moment, and his Heavenly Demon Eyes appeared. A terrifying suction erupted, and all the demonic energy in billions of spaces was absorbed, completely destroying the Demon Sealing Great Tomb, so that this demonic energy would no longer harm the common people.
...
At this moment.
Outside the Demon Sealing Great Tomb.
Rumbling vibrations emanated from the great tomb.
The Fourth-tier Profound Emperors from Yuhua City, Ruyi Sect, Taiyue Sect, and Haichao City all looked solemn.
"What's going on!"
"Could it be that the Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor has broken free? That would be terrible."
"It's very likely the work of those people from the Demon Eye Sect! I have confirmed intelligence that this Demon Eye Sect was secretly established by the strongmen of the Nine-Eyed Imperial Demon Clan, specifically to release this Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor."
"This is troublesome. If that's the case, the Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor will likely recover to a Fifth-tier Profound Emperor very soon, which is not something we can deal with together."
"What should we do? Should we retreat quickly before the Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor comes out?"
A Fourth-tier Profound Emperor suggested.
"To retreat just like this, I'm not reconciled!"
Hai Ming Profound Emperor of Haichao City gritted his teeth.
"On this trip, we gained absolutely no benefits. Everything was snatched away by that damnable bastard. Even our Haichao City's Little Sea King was killed by him. If I go back empty-handed like this, our City Lord will tear me apart alive!"
Hai Ming Profound Emperor was unwilling and wanted to continue observing.
"Our Ruyi Sect is the same! Haichao City only lost one Little Sea King, but our Ruyi Sect lost three of our most outstanding disciples, geniuses who were destined to become Fourth-tier Profound Emperors or even Fifth-tier Profound Emperors in the future! If I don't kill this thief, I will never rest."
"Yuhua City is not leaving either!"
The two Fourth-tier Profound Emperors from Yuhua City snorted coldly.
The Fourth-tier Profound Emperors from those other forces looked at each other. Since so many Fourth-tier Profound Emperors were not planning to leave easily, they were not in a hurry to go either and decided to wait and see.
With the combined strength of over ten Fourth-tier Profound Emperors, even if the Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor really broke free, they might still have the power to resist.
After all, that Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor had been suppressed for countless years. Who knew how much of his power remained.
What if this Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Nine-Eyed Imperial Demon Clan was extremely weak? They might even get a bargain!
That was a Half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor.
He possessed the powerful origin of a Half-step Heavenly Emperor.
To them, that was a treasure with fatal attraction.
Normally.
Even if they cultivated for another thousand or two thousand years, they would not reach the Fifth-tier Profound Emperor.
But if they obtained even a little bit of the Half-step Heavenly Emperor origin, they would have hope of breaking through.
Greed drove them.
Causing them to lose their reason.
Overcoming their worries and fears.
On Liu Wang City's side.
A Half-step Profound Emperor from Liu Wang City asked, "City Lord, what about us? Should we go?"
Liu Zhong gritted his teeth.
"Let's wait a moment. If Tian Shao comes out, we'll help if we can! As the saying goes, a drop of water given should be repaid with a gushing spring. If we only think of saving ourselves, what's the difference between us and beasts."
"We think the same way. We owe Tian Shao too many favors, and we have no way to repay them."
Said the Half-step Profound Emperor.
On the other side.
Wang Zheng, Luo Bing, and Li Songjiang formed a small circle.
Not far from the strongmen of Liu Wang City.
They couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"These people from Liu Wang City are really out of their minds. Repaying favors, repaying what! If a person doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. Isn't it good to live well? If they want to help Tian Heng, that damned fellow, we specifically want to help others kill him!"
The three of them had quite a few trump cards.
With their complete cooperation, dealing with a Fourth-tier Profound Emperor was not a problem, which was also the reason they dared to stay here.
Just as all parties were harboring their own thoughts.
Suddenly.
The Demon Sealing Great Tomb began to shake.
