Within the vast emptiness, a handsome young figure appeared, smiling as he looked at Wan Qingyi.
"You scoundrel, villain, wicked thief! The three of us worked so hard to severely injure old man Jingxian, and you, you bas***d, hid in the void and didn't make a move, just waiting to swoop in for the kill!"
Wan Qingyi's eyes nearly spewed fire.
"Ah, don't say it like that. Wasn't it because I saw Demon Emperor Jingxian trying to escape and I was afraid he'd get away? If he escaped after all your hard work, wouldn't that be an even greater loss? Isn't it better for me to kill him than for him to escape?
Besides, what's the big deal between us brothers? Who kills them doesn't matter, we're all contributing to killing enemies for the positive plane.
Don't just focus on me, quickly check on Wan Lei. This is the most outstanding junior of our Wan family. Look at how badly he's been injured."
Wan Jianyi, truly a member of the Wan family, possessed skin as thick as a city wall. He completely ignored Wan Qingyi's accusations and anger.
After all, Wan Qingyi couldn't defeat him.
"You still have the audacity to mention Wan Lei? Look at how badly Wan Lei is injured fighting the Demon Emperor. What were you doing earlier? Not making a move sooner, and then stealing his credit?"
At this moment, Wan Lei had already retracted his armor. Using his last shred of sanity, he removed the demonic ring.
He was heavily wounded, his bones shattered, his meridians broken. However, his energy was quite abundant, as the Little Universe had been continuously replenishing his energy.
But his Sea of Consciousness was not optimistic. It was filled with violent mental power, the influence of the demonic ring still lingering.
Fortunately, this was the vast emptiness, without gravity. Otherwise, in Wan Lei's current state, he would have been in freefall.
This time, he wore the demonic ring for longer than ever before, but he maintained a sliver of consciousness, relying entirely on the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill of Buddhism and his Supreme Dao Law.
Wan Jianyi approached Wan Lei, supported him, and then took out the best healing pills to feed him, treating his injuries.
Wan Lei gratefully looked at Wan Jianyi. At this moment, without the enhancement of the demonic ring's power, he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Wan Qingyi glanced at the void and said impatiently,
"Everyone, stop watching. If you want to say something, come out and say it. If you don't want to talk, hurry back. We're not providing meals."
As soon as he said this, many figures appeared in the vast emptiness.
Wan Lei looked up and was startled. He recognized quite a few of them.
Water Saint Xi Sha, Fire Saint Li Yan, Gold Saint He Xu, and the two people beside him, a mischievous loli with roving eyes, and a burly, simple-minded strong man. These were likely Wood Saint Xi La and Earth Saint Dun Yong, the entire Dream Team was present.
Including Ruo Shui Qiu, Wan Qingyi, and Wan Jianyi, eight of the ten Hall Masters of the Five Elements were present.
In addition, the Buddha, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, Monk Hui Yu, Fairy Ming Hua, and six Archons were also present.
Heavenly Venerable, Human Emperor, Bodhi, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Starry Sky Sword Saint, and the other six Archons were not present. They were all in the battlefield of the Sea of Suffering. Sect Master Wan Hong was in the Five Elements Hall, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was in seclusion.
Besides these, only the Ghost Emperor of the Ghost Realm, Illusion Saint, and Old Dragon King were absent.
It could be said that, except for the Saints in the Sea of Suffering and the Ghost Realm, almost all Saints and Archons from the Immortal and Divine Realms had gathered here.
"Heh, what a punctual gathering. You're all so idle, why don't you make a move?"
Wan Qingyi looked at everyone with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you fear we'd steal your credit? Wan Jianyi picked up a kill, and you scolded him so harshly. How dare we make a move?"
Gold Saint He Xu replied with a smile.
"Hmph, if you had made a move earlier, I wouldn't have said anything. This scoundrel Wan Jianyi purely came to snatch kills."
Wan Jianyi, pleased with his kill, didn't bother arguing with Wan Qingyi and remained smiling.
All the Saints gathered around. The six Archons, hundreds of feet tall, stood at the outer perimeter, exuding a powerful aura.
"Amitabha, Junior Wan Lei is truly formidable. This time, he killed two Demon Emperors. His merit is boundless, beyond my reach.
However, Junior Wan Lei's Sea of Consciousness still has a lot of residual mental energy. I will help you expel it."
"Thank you, Buddha."
Wan Lei said politely.
The Buddha came behind Wan Lei and displayed the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma form, helping Wan Lei expel the mental energy.
He Xu looked at Wan Lei and smiled,
"Junior Wan Lei, you're quite good. We all saw that battle just now. With the power of the Golden Immortal realm, you killed two Demon Emperors. Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is something no one would dare to imagine."
Li Yan echoed,
"Indeed. A few years ago, when this fellow first entered the Five Elements Hall, he was just a minor Tai Xu realm disciple. Who would have thought that in just a few short years, he would be stronger than me."
Xi Sha, hearing this, glared at Li Yan,
"Now you know what they mean by 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river,' right? You don't even need thirty years, just a few years have passed, and he can already step all over you.
It's ridiculous that you targeted him back then, insisting on killing him. If you had actually acted back then, our positive plane would have lost a powerful individual.
Now that he's powerful, if he comes to seek revenge, don't come to us for help."
"Xi Sha, what are you saying? Aren't you my little darling? Besides, I was just playing with him back then. I wasn't trying to kill him. You're exaggerating."
"Bah, bah, bah. Who's your little darling? You're disgusting."
Wan Lei smiled as he listened to their bickering. In the past, he had indeed hated Li Yan for targeting him, even vowing to slay Li Yan's dog head when he returned as a Saint.
Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and he learned that it was the Immortal Venerable who had issued the mission. Thus, he no longer hated Li Yan and had no intention of seeking revenge.
"Hello Wan Lei, I'm Di Jun."
Heavenly Emperor Di Jun greeted Wan Lei with a smile.
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor."
Wan Lei smiled weakly.
Wan Lei knew of Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, and he knew that he was the second person to achieve sainthood among the demon race. He founded the Northern Sea Demon Race Heavenly Court, protected the demon race, and was sworn brothers with Eastern Emperor Taiyi. He had also made great contributions in the two Immortal-Demon wars.
His only blemish was probably attacking the five Immortal Venerables, Li Mengran, Wan Jianyi, Wan Qingyi, and others, when they were still in the Nascent Soul realm, despite being a Saint himself.
"Ah, no need for greetings. It's too formal. You don't need to be so humble. After all, with your current strength, even among us Saints and Archons, you are considered top-tier. Below the Three Suns, you have almost no rivals.
Moreover, your achievements are beyond what most Saints can compare to. Killing two Demon Emperors and assisting in the killing of the Three Sun Demon Emperor, old man Jingxian, this is immense merit.
Among Saints, everything is judged by merit. If we're being honest, we should be calling you 'senior'."
