A hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded, causing the spirit of the demon lord to tremble. Instantly, purple light erupted from his body, clearly indicating he was ready for battle. Tang Haofei also took a couple of steps back with Bai, preparing to watch this rare spectacle…
However, the anticipated grand battle did not occur at all.
The figure on the throne abruptly stood up, scattering mottled light and shadow, illuminating the person's face.
In that moment, the atmosphere froze…
“I said… why did it take you so long to arrive… I’ve been waiting for you for five thousand years…”
A familiar voice rang out, causing Tang Haofei's eyes to widen in astonishment. The spirit of the demon lord, however, was even more overwhelmed. The momentum he had just built up seemed to be doused by a bucket of cold water. He stared at the person in front of him and let out a high-pitched howl that had changed tone!
“Wen Yu? Wen Yu! How could it possibly be you!”
“...You ask me, who should I ask?”
Wen Yu, who had been imprisoned for over five thousand years, wore a stiff expression. After a moment, the corners of his mouth finally curled into a bitter smile.
“The demon lord has long since died… By the time I arrived, he was already dead… And the Heavenly Gifted Stone… is missing…”
Wen Yu's voice was hoarse and unclear, as if the long passage of time had rendered him incapable of speaking properly. But no matter how unpleasant his voice sounded, the meaning behind his words was enough to shock!
The spirit of the demon lord went momentarily stiff, only for Tang Haofei to push past him and stride toward Wen Yu.
“Are you alright?”
Old Tang checked Wen Yu from head to toe, and after confirming that the Wen Yu before him was indeed the real Wen Yu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—this concern did not seem feigned.
For the first time in a long while, feeling the breath of freedom, Old Tang’s friendship appeared exceptionally pleasing to Wen Yu. He broke into a sincere smile, gently patting Tang Haofei’s shoulder, before looking at the spirit of the demon lord and Bai.
“The demon lord is really dead… When I went missing, Bai was also there. The killer who struck down the demon lord dragged me directly into the Temple of the Void Realm, and by the time I saw the demon lord, he had already been utterly annihilated…”
Wen Yu's speech became smoother, but it was clear that the spirit of the demon lord and Bai did not believe his information.
They simply stared at Wen Yu, their eyes revealing doubt—up until now, the spirit of the demon lord still hadn’t lowered his battle stance…
And indeed… this matter was not so easily explained.
Until Bai's big eyes, which were perched atop his head, emitted light, an energy wave swept across the area. In the next second, a mental fluctuation originating from the sovereign instantly penetrated the minds of the four.
“Stay where you are! Wait for me!”
Thus, the space began to tremble.
…
The entire Demon Palace seemed to be gripped and violently squeezed by an invisible pair of large hands.
At the same time, a grand will suddenly shot out from Earth. It pierced through the atmospheric barriers and the outer skin of the Demon Palace, appearing on the outside of the Demon Palace 999th Layer.
At this moment, the sovereign radiated white light, his eyes twitching, revealing a hint of murderous intent. He extended his hands, forcefully tearing at the barrier of the void realm. With a “rip” sound, a gash was torn open in the void realm, and boundless black mist surged out. However, upon encountering the white light beside the sovereign, it was all purified.
Thus, the sovereign could clearly see the Temple of the Void Realm hidden within the void realm! And the four figures standing in the main hall...
The saying "kings do not meet kings" was a tacit understanding built over countless years between the sovereign and the demon lord, but at this moment, the sovereign disregarded this understanding and the danger that could arise. He was furious, directly arriving at his old rival's stronghold!
