Asura Mad Emperor

Upon reaching this place, the air all around seemed to become incredibly oppressive, with strands of faint demonic qi throughout the void.

The eyes of the Crimson Flame Bird were full of fear, somewhat unwilling to go further, but pressured by Qinchuan, it had no choice but to continue flying.

"Whooosh!"

Suddenly, from the distant void, billowing black smoke approached, clearly carrying strong demonic qi within it.

Within the demonic qi, figures of demon beasts surged and let out sinister laughter, "Heeheeheehee… Someone dares to intrude here willingly, and it\'s just a mortal martial artist in the Condensed Truth Realm…"

"We\'ve been sealed here for far too long, and it\'s been ages since we\'ve tasted humans. We never expected someone to deliver themselves to our doorstep, haha…"

Billows of black smoke rose from the dense forest below into the sky, with demon beasts reveling within, various kinds of demon beasts, ferocious and terrifying, rushed toward the Crimson Flame Bird and Qinchuan.

"Chirp chirp…"

The Crimson Flame Bird screamed, its eyes filled with terror.

"Merely a few petty demons, daring such recklessness. Even the Demon Monarchs and Emperors of the Demon Races, in bygone times, were but followers under my command!"

Seeing the black clouds rush to the sky from all directions and cover the world in an instant, Qinchuan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with sharpness.

Inside the sea of his consciousness, a strand of his Emperor Soul majestically radiated as Qinchuan shouted, "Kneel before me!"

As he bellowed, with the majesty of the Emperor Soul unfolding, a black rune belonging to both the Demon Races sprang from within Qinchuan\'s Emperor Soul.

This rune was, astonishingly, the soul pact signed with the Monarchs and Emperors of the Demon Races when Qinchuan subdued them in the past, an ancient oath!

Within the rune, the souls of the most noble bloodlines of the Demon Races were sealed!

With this soul pact, Qinchuan could intimidate the demons of the Three Realms!

Even the Demon Monarchs and Emperors of the Demon Races could only bow their heads and serve before him!

As the rune unfolded, the most powerful aura of the Demon Races spread out. Instantly, the overwhelming demonic and demon qi began to surge violently, and then, one by one, the demon beasts revealed looks of terror, manifested their true bodies, and knelt before Qinchuan.

"Emperor… Lord Emperor…"

"We pay our respects to Lord Emperor!"

All the demon beasts of the Demon Races prostrated themselves and worshipped Qinchuan with one voice!

"Chirp chirp…"

Below Qinchuan, the Crimson Flame Bird was dumbfounded by the scene before it.

Watching how the countless demon beasts that had just come menacingly to consume both it and Qinchuan, were now scared into submissive prostration by a mere shout from Qinchuan, the Crimson Flame Bird\'s large eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension.

Qinchuan swept a cold glance over the demon beasts in all directions and said indifferently, "Back when I sealed you here, it was to prevent you from tormenting the world and disrupting human order. Do you have any grievances regarding this?"

Hearing his words, all the demon beasts shuddered, with the older and more powerful ones feeling more fear and unease when faced with Qinchuan\'s questioning. They hurriedly claimed no grievances.

"Where is Xiao Hei?! Upon my return, why have you not come to greet me!"

Qinchuan sat cross-legged, speaking indifferently.

Xiao Hei was an abyssal fiend dragon, once a sovereign of the Demon Race in years long past. Initially enlightened and subdued by Qinchuan, he stayed within the Great Wilderness, along with another emperor from the Demon Race, guarding the things that Qinchuan left behind.

Hearing Qinchuan\'s words, a powerful member of the Demon Race knelt and bowed, saying, "Responding to Emperor, eighty thousand years ago, a mysterious strong individual came to this place, wanting to tamper with the things you left behind. The Demon Monarch, in order to guard your Seal, has already died in battle..."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this Great Demon\'s words, Qinchuan\'s eyes suddenly became stagnant, "Xiao Hei... dead?"

The Great Demon knelt and responded, "Yes."

Qinchuan\'s gaze shifted, and, after a moment, he let out a deep sigh, murmuring to himself, "I should have thought of this earlier..."

He should have thought of it the moment he saw that piece of Taotie beast skin.

Then, he looked towards a Great Devil, "Is Xiao Kui still safe?"

The Great Devil spoke in response, "Responding to Emperor, the Demon Emperor also perished in that battle..."

Hearing such a response, Qinchuan finally couldn\'t help but close his eyes, his body lightly trembling, all the demons and beasts felt a wave of soul\'s palpitation and unease.

A terrifying killing intent was forcefully suppressed by him.

"Heh!"

Ultimately, Qinchuan suddenly laughed.

"Good, very good, daring to meddle with my arrangements and even my people! Has my absence been too long this time, causing certain individuals to forget the fear they once had towards me, beginning to act unruly?"

He narrowed his eyes, within them, a wisp of crimson killing intent emerged, seemingly piercing through the void and penetrating Qiankun!

Afterwards, he took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and waved his hand, "Go to the Holy Abyss!"

"As you command."

The strong members of both Demon and Beast Races bowed towards Qinchuan and then turned into a stream of black smoke, clearing the way for Qinchuan.

That day.

The terrifying core of the Great Wilderness, where countless demons surged, Demonic Qi rolling and covering all directions, causing the creatures around the core of the Great Wilderness to be terrified, beasts wailing and the sounds shaking the Nine Heavens.

It also shook the strong individuals from various Ancient Kingdoms who had always been wary and attentive to the movements of demons in the Great Wilderness.

"What has happened in the Great Wilderness to cause such a heavenly change?!"

In Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, countless powerful individuals from Cultivation Sects all turned to look towards the core of the Great Wilderness, gesturing and calculating, but were suddenly subjected to a terrifying backlash.

In Shanhe County, Congyun Sect.

The once thriving Congyun Sect, rumored to have birthed an Imperial Dao strong individual, had now, however, declined, its splendor no longer present.

At this moment.

Inside the forbidden area of Congyun Sect, an elder with sparse white hair, nearly at the end of his strength, suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out a blazing light towards that distant core of the Great Wilderness, his body trembling with excitement.

"Emperor, is it you who have returned?"

...

Far from where Qinchuan was, at the edge of the core of the Great Wilderness.

A tall woman flew on a rainbow, landed on the canopy of an ancient tree, and noticed the rolling dark wind and Demonic Qi from the distant core of the Great Wilderness, turning the sky and earth above the Great Wilderness different colors, she was shocked, and quickly looked intently towards that area.

Her eyes shone brightly, like divine vision, she looked far into the distance, and caught glimpses of Qinchuan commanding reverence from the demons, scenes of countless demons and beasts kneeling and worshiping within the core of the Great Wilderness; her lips parted slightly in astonishment.

"Who is that person? He seems to be nothing more than a Martial Artist, unable to even fly with the wind, having to use a Fourth Rank Demon Beast, the Crimson Flame Bird, as his mount, yet he can hold in awe the demons of the core of the Great Wilderness, causing them to kneel in worship?!"
