Chapter 1922 The Sudden Appearance of a Demon Emperor

After sensing the overwhelming malicious presence, Sun Ling Cai had to force herself to turn around. Every instinct in her body warned her to run, yet she stood her ground.

At first, she saw nothing—just the empty, distorted air ahead, heavy with oppressive energy. But then, a silhouette began to take shape, emerging slowly from the shadows as if reality itself were bending to make way for it.

Each step it took was deliberate, and with every step, the pressure grew heavier, colder—like a noose tightening around her soul.

'A second demon? How is that possible?! My divine sense has been active and surrounding this place ever since we entered, yet I only just sensed it! Did it teleport in here just now?' Sun Ling Cai couldn't fathom how she could've missed this demon, who was emitting a ridiculous amount of demonic energy.

"To think I'd return to intruders… I only left for a couple of minutes, too."

The silhouette spoke as it emerged from the shadow, revealing its appearance.

Just like the Demon General, this demon did not appear to have a crystal outside its body. However, its demonic energy and presence was several times stronger than the Demon General, which could only mean one thing.

"A Demon Emperor…" Sun Ling Cai muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible, laced with tension.

She clenched her fists tightly, her jaw locking as pure fear crawled down her spine.

After spending just a few moments in its presence, she began to recognize the undeniable familiarity in the aura. It was nearly identical to the one she had felt during the Supreme Demon Sealer Examination a few years ago.

The Demon Emperor before Sun Ling Cai was not the same one at the examination. It was a new one that she'd never heard of or seen before.

'Fuck, what should I do?' Sun Ling Cai could only stand there and ponder her limited options as the Demon Emperor slowly approached.

Although both she and the Demon Emperor had their cultivation sealed to the peak of Immortal Ascension, Sun Ling Cai wasn't confident she'd be able to face this Demon Emperor even if she had her full cultivation and the demon didn't.

She could try running away, but that would bring shame to her status as a Master Demon Sealer, not to mention Yuan and the captives were not far away from her. If she ran, they would most certainly die. The Demon Emperor suddenly stopped before the sealed Demon General. After a brief pause, it placed its palm on the sealed demon and began infusing demonic energy into it. A moment later, cracks began appearing on the sealed demon.

'It's unsealing the other demon?!'

Seeing this, Sun Ling Cai instinctively attacked the Demon Emperor.

Without even glancing in Sun Ling Cai's direction, the Demon Emperor casually flicked its hand, a motion so effortless it almost seemed dismissive.

In that instant, a massive wave of demonic energy surged forth—thick, black, and seething with malice.

It struck Sun Ling Cai like a collapsing mountain, the sheer force of it leaving no room to resist. Her body was violently repelled, sent flying through the air as if she were nothing more than a leaf caught in a storm.

By the time Sun Ling Cai stabilized herself, which only took a second, the sealed demon was released from its stone prison.

"I apologize for my incompetence, Emperor." The Demon General kneeled before the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor calmly gazed upon the demon and spoke, "Take care of the other invader. I'll deal with this livestock myself."

"As you command."
