The result left Wen Yu in disbelief, yet he had no choice but to accept it!
On one hand, it involved one of the two opposing extremes to the sovereign—the owner of half a Heavenly Gifted Stone, the controller of unparalleled might, the lord of all demons, the savior of this world, and the nightmare of other worlds!
However, on the other hand, the facts lay before Wen Yu—a corpse doesn't lie.
The body belonged to a level twelve being… he was the demon lord himself…
The wounds on his body were no fabrication—although the demon lord was on the brink of death, Wen Yu initially determined that he must have died from external forces!
In other words, he was forcibly killed by someone!
Look at that…
Even in death, he stood firm with his staff in hand!
This is what a warrior is, he fought until the last moment…
But the more terrifying aspect was that even though the demon lord fought until the final moment, he still couldn't escape the fate of death.
He did not perish heroically in battle… instead, he was killed in an instant. It was not due to a sneak attack; rather, he was taken down in one strike after preparing for battle!
Not even the surrounding environment showed any signs of change!
Everything revealed sent chills down Wen Yu's spine!
Thus, Wen Yu pondered a second question.
“Who… who pulled me over here…”
That’s right, since the demon lord was dead, it proved that the long strip of rope that brought him here was most likely not the demon lord's doing…
So who could it be?
After thinking for a long time, Wen Yu could only come to one answer…
It was that murderer…
Not the spirit of the demon lord, nor the sovereign!
The spirit of the demon lord was in the origin pool, and with both the Demon Palace Layer 999 and Layer 998 sealed by the sovereign, the spirit could not break the seals to arrive here, and the sovereign…
What a joke, Wen Yu understood the principle of "kings do not meet"!
Then…
Who could it be…
At that moment, Wen Yu's mind was a mess, feeling as though everything loomed over him like a massive dark cloud, obscuring the truth of the situation.
Until Wen Yu took a gentle breath, casting away the complicated thoughts from his mind!
He took two steps forward, walking to the side of the demon lord.
“The Heavenly Gifted Stone…”
Thinking of this, Wen Yu stretched out his hand towards the demon lord.
Then…
With a loud “bang,” the demon lord, along with the staff in his hand, turned to ashes and completely vanished.
Wen Yu was immediately frozen in place!
The thing that the sovereign had always wanted… the supreme treasure known as the Heavenly Gifted Stone!
It had disappeared…
“Puh.”
Wen Yu plopped down onto the ground, looking at the demon lord, who had turned to ash and vanished, with an obvious look of confusion on his face.
In an instant, everything had taken a 180-degree turn!
As the common enemy of both the sovereign and the spirit of the demon lord—the level twelve supreme being known as the demon lord had died…
At this moment, Wen Yu should theoretically be the second person to receive this news.
That’s right, aside from the murderer, Wen Yu was certainly the second person to know this information!
He sniffed forcefully, slowly closed his eyes, but soon Wen Yu opened them again and stood up once more.
Wen Yu was not familiar with the demon lord; although they were deeply entwined in affairs, his shock at this moment did not stem from sorrow; it was merely a natural reaction to the sudden change.
And Wen Yu, having grown to this point, had already learned to face drastic changes…
First, remain calm, and second, find the thing he most should and needed to do!
“Escape from here!”
This was undoubtedly Wen Yu's primary goal!
Thinking this way, Wen Yu immediately took action, quickly moving to the place where the demon lord had vanished, and then he looked around.
In the next second, he widened his eyes in shock.
Above him, a line of glowing words clearly entered Wen Yu's view.
