Chapter 1923 Facing the Demon Emperor

After sealing the Demon General, Yuan said to the captives trembling in fear behind him, "You can open your eyes again. I have dealt with the demon."

When the captives opened their eyes, their faces became filled with shock after seeing the sealed demon. After all, only a few seconds had passed since they were told to close their eyes.

'He sealed a Demon General in seconds?! How is that even possible?!'

The captives couldn't comprehend it.

Yuan continued, "Unfortunately, there is still a demon that needs to be dealt with. Stay here and don't move until I return. Otherwise, I won't be able to guarantee your safety."

Without waiting for their response, Yuan left the scene and moved toward the Demon Emperor's presence.

Meanwhile, Sun Ling Cai started her battle with the Demon Emperor shortly after the Demon General left.

"If you're not going to attack, I'll come to you," the Demon Emperor spoke as it slowly approached Sun Ling Cai.

Gritting her teeth, Sun Ling Cai quickly pulled out several paintings and threw them into the air. They floated around them, forming a circle. Moments later, the scrolls opened up, releasing a wave of Demon Sealing Aura that created a protective barrier.

The purpose of the barrier was to weaken any demons caught within, much like Yuan's Demon Sealing Zone. However, the Demon Emperor didn't so much as flinch, standing unaffected as though the aura had no effect on it at all.

"You Demon Sealers have truly fallen. Compared to those of the past, your Demon Sealing Aura is laughably weak," the Demon Emperor said, his voice laced with both mockery and disappointment.

Sun Ling Cai did her best to ignore the Demon Emperor's taunts and continued to bombard it with Demon Sealing Aura. But with the Demon Emperor treating her attacks as no more than empty air, the vast gap between them quickly became undeniable—and overwhelming.

The Demon Emperor suddenly vanished from Sun Ling Cai's sight, and in the blink of an eye, before she could even react, she found herself sprawled on the ground, her limbs twisted at unnatural angles.

Sun Ling Cai coughed up a mouthful of blood.

'W-What just happened?!' she screamed inwardly.

Lifting her gaze, she saw the Demon Emperor standing over her, its eyes cold and condescending—like it was merely observing a crushed insect.

"Consider yourself fortunate. I'd kill you, but your Pure Yin Essence will serve my goals far too well," the Demon Emperor remarked coldly.

"What do you need my Pure Yin Essence for…?" she asked, her voice strained.

Despite the seemingly brutal state of her body, such injuries were superficial for an Immortal like Sun Ling Cai. As long as her Dantian and soul remained unharmed, she could easily recover from such injuries.

"What do you think? I'm going to use your Pure Yin Essence to refine the 'key'."

"Key…? Are you trying to unseal the Demonic Realm?!" she exclaimed.
