'That level of demonic energy… another Demon Emperor has appeared?! What is happening?!' Sun Ling Cai's jaw dropped after seeing Demon Emperor Malikce's sudden appearance. It was so shocking that it forced her to stop painting briefly.
"You probably already know this, but in case you don't, 'Malice' was the first Demon Emperor to be slain by me. Although Malice wasn't the strongest amongst the Demon Emperors, he came the closest to defeating me—mostly because I was still inexperienced back then." Yuan looked back at their battle as his gaze stared at Demon Emperor Malice, who stood there with a blank look on its face, resembling a soulless puppet. He gave a simple gesture, beckoning the figure forward.
In response, Demon Emperor Malice stepped toward him—and without hesitation, dropped to its knees, then lowered itself further until it was bowing low, its forearms to the ground in a show of absolute submission.
Demon Emperor Slaughter's eyes widened in a mix of shock and fury as it watched Yuan calmly sit atop Demon Emperor Malice's back—using its fellow Demon Emperor as if it were nothing more than a chair.
"How dare you!" Demon Emperor Slaughter roared, his aura skyrocketing from rage.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Once I devour you in a moment, I'll make you wash my clothes or something," Yuan casually mocked it.
"YOU AND I—THE DEMON CLAN—CANNOT COEXIST UNDER THE SAME SKY!"
Demon Emperor Slaughter roared, unleashing a torrent of bloodlust so overwhelming it seemed to shake the very air around them.
A blood-red aura erupted around Demon Emperor Slaughter as it launched itself at Yuan, recklessly hurling its body forward—completely disregarding its own safety in a frenzy of rage.
"Why are you stating the obvious? The first thing you demons did after appearing in our world is treat humans as livestock." Yuan sneered as he stood up from his seat and prepared to face the approaching Demon Emperor.
[Demon Devouring Strike]
As the Demon Emperor closed in, Yuan swung the Demon Devouring Sword without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, mid-attack, the Demon Emperor vanished—its entire existence seemingly erased, as if it had never been there at all.
<Demon Devouring Sword has devoured Demon Emperor Slaughter>
<Demon Emperor Slaughter can now be summoned through the Demon Devouring Sword>
<Demon Devouring Sword has refined the demonic energy into spiritual energy, which can be absorbed at any time>
"D-Did you defeat the Demon Emperor?" Sun Ling Cai suddenly asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes, it's dealt with now," Yuan calmly responded.
"No way…" Sun Ling Cai swallowed nervously.
Despite witnessing it herself, she still couldn't believe how easily Yuan had defeated the Demon Emperor, an existence that could threaten the entire Demon Sealing Clan. "Are you okay?" Yuan asked as he approached her.
"Y-Yes!" When Sun Ling Cai realized that she was still sitting on the floor, she quickly stood up. "Thank you for saving my life, Founder."
"About that founder thing…"
Yuan retrieved the necklace Sun Ling Cai had given him before and showed it to her.
