314 – Battle With the Quasi-Demon Emperor!

[While you were in seclusion, your achievements gradually reached the ears of Chu Lingyin, Lu Daoxian, and other experts in the Immortal Domain, leaving them astounded. They believed the Immortal Domain was finally experiencing a change of fortune, never expecting it would produce an invincible Immortal King comparable to that monstrous being of the past.]

[The beings of the Immortal Domain were overjoyed, feeling that having a powerful protector like you allowed them to finally breathe easy and live dignified lives in the Small Immortal Domain.]

[In the blink of an eye, a hundred thousand years passed. Utilizing the abundant resources from the Demon Domain and the corpses of Demon Kings, you successfully broke through to the level of Immortal King Great Perfection. Even after reaching Great Perfection, you still had plenty of resources left.]

[However, you knew that these resources were insufficient to help you break through to the quasi-immortal emperor level. The gap between an Immortal King and a quasi-immortal emperor was simply too vast. Moreover, you hadn’t comprehended the doctrines and scriptures at the quasi-immortal emperor level.]

[Therefore, you had no intention of leaving seclusion and continued to meditate. This time, you began to comprehend the Dao. Thanks to the Four-Digit Talent: Innate Dao Seed, your process of comprehension was exceptionally smooth, and you were fortunate enough to enter a deep state of enlightenment once again.]

[In the blink of an eye, another one hundred and fifty thousand years passed. This period of Dao comprehension benefited you immensely, bringing you just half a step away from comprehending the doctrines and scriptures at the quasi-immortal emperor level.]

[However, you did not continue to stay in seclusion but chose to emerge. The reason for this was that the forbidden area of the quasi-Demon Emperor was about to open.]

[Although your previous combat power was sufficient to forcibly break it open, you decided against it to prevent any unexpected occurrences.]

[Once you entered the forbidden area, you were indifferent to its Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. For someone at your level, only materials that could forge a quasi-immortal emperor weapon or treasures that could help you break through to the quasi-immortal emperor level were valuable; everything else was just minor wealth to you.]

[However, materials to forge a quasi-immortal emperor weapon or treasures that could help you break through to the quasi-immortal emperor level were evidently absent in this forbidden area. In fact, whether such naturally formed treasures existed anywhere in the entire fantasy world was uncertain.]

[Thus, you had no intention of wasting time searching. You went straight to the stone statue of the quasi-Demon Emperor.]

[When you reached the stone statue, you didn’t hold back and unleashed your formidable power, smashing it hard.]

[However, your attack didn’t shatter the statue; instead, its energy was absorbed.]

[Squinting your eyes, you sensed that this stone statue of the quasi-Demon Emperor was indeed peculiar. However, hidden within it might be an opportunity to help you break through to the quasi-immortal emperor level, which you didn’t want to miss.]

[Even though you are currently very powerful, you are not certain you can defeat the dark quasi-immortal emperor in five thousand years. Therefore, you are willing to pay any price to break through to the quasi-immortal emperor level within five thousand years, to deal with the impending crisis.]

[You continued to bombard the stone statue, which absorbed the energy. Gradually, you noticed that the statue’s life aura became increasingly vigorous. Over time, the cracks on the statue grew larger.]

[Additionally, you sensed a terrifying demonic aura awakening. You realized that the quasi-Demon Emperor was about to revive.]

[However, you remained fearless, ready for a fierce battle. You continued to attack the statue.]

[A quarter of an hour later, the statue shattered, releasing an overwhelming demonic aura that caused the entire forbidden area to tremble.]

[Emerging from the statue was a figure with demonic horns and blood-black wings, who slowly opened his eyes and stared at you. His aura was increasingly terrifying, enough to crush an Immortal King.]

[Facing such a being, you remained unafraid, your expression calm, even having the presence of mind to make comparisons. The quasi-Demon Emperor before you was clearly sealed here for some reason. The long years of being sealed, despite creating this forbidden area to attract strong individuals and absorb external energy to break the seal, had taken a toll on him.]

[In other words, though the quasi-Demon Emperor before you was of quasi-demon emperor level, he was in a very weakened state. Therefore, he was much less intimidating than the dark quasi-immortal emperor who had crossed the sea.]

[At this moment, the quasi-Demon Emperor saw that you faced him without the slightest fear, with a calm expression, and coldly snorted, saying arrogantly, ‘Not kneeling before the Emperor is a crime punishable by death.’]

[Hearing this, you revealed a mocking expression, indicating that a quasi-Demon Emperor daring to call himself an emperor was utterly delusional. Moreover, for a quasi-Demon Emperor to treat his savior this way was utterly shameless.]

[Your words made the quasi-Demon Emperor snort coldly. Unwilling to debate with you, he arrogantly reached out to grab you, intending to eat you as a snack to replenish his strength.]

[To this, you let out a cold laugh and ceased hiding your true combat power, unleashing your full strength in a fierce attack on the quasi-Demon Emperor before you.]

[As you unleashed your power, the quasi-Demon Emperor was taken by surprise. He hadn’t expected an Immortal King at Great Perfection to display such terrifying power. Caught off guard, he was sent flying by your attack, cracks appearing on his body.]

[Although such an injury was insignificant to him, the fact that he, a quasi-Demon Emperor unmatched in the world, was wounded by an Immortal King was indeed shameful. Angered, he erupted with terrifying power, intending to kill you instantly and eat you as his blood food.]

[Facing this, your expression turned serious. Without any carelessness, you collided with the quasi-Demon Emperor.]

[However, a quasi-Demon Emperor is still a quasi-Demon Emperor. Even in a weakened state, he wasn’t someone you could contend with. In a short time, you were injured and on the verge of being killed.]

[Therefore, without hesitation, you used the Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal to activate its effects, putting yourself in a state of immunity to damage and control.]

[Then, you began to fight without any regard for defense. You even started burning your own source energy, crazily boosting your combat power. You discovered that the Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal was truly overpowered; even when burning your source energy, you wouldn’t be harmed while the talent was active.]

[Your fighting style made the quasi-Demon Emperor’s face change, feeling the pressure. After all, facing a foe who didn’t need defense and burned their source energy was too troublesome.]

[If he were in peak condition, he wouldn’t have to worry. Once your talent’s effect time ended, he could easily crush you.]

[However, now he couldn’t do that. In his weakened state, he would also be injured by your crazy fighting style. If careless, his source might even be damaged again.]

[For a moment, the quasi-Demon Emperor gnashed his teeth in hatred, feeling that your talent was too shameless.]

[You ignored the quasi-Demon Emperor’s thoughts and continued your frenzied assault. At the same time, you comprehended the quasi-Demon Emperor’s Dao techniques and scriptures, absorbing them like a sponge, integrating them into your own understanding, and striving to break through your limits in this battle.]

“Tsk tsk tsk, this Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal is truly outrageous. Even the quasi-Demon Emperor is calling it shameless.”

Wang Ping smacked his lips as he read the content of the text simulation.

“But, that’s exactly the desired effect. If I didn’t have only this single auxiliary combat type of four-digit talent, I’d want to disgust the enemy even more…”

As Wang Ping sighed, the text simulation continued.

【In the blink of an eye, your fierce battle with the quasi-demon emperor had lasted for nearly half an hour. His injuries had grown increasingly severe under your assault, to the point where he felt like spitting blood and had an urge to retreat.】

【He truly hadn’t expected that your talent would be so disgusting, capable of lasting so long… it felt like it was dragging him to death.】

【However, although he had an urge to retreat, he couldn’t bear to lose face or give up on this blood bag of yours. After all, if a quasi-demon emperor battled against an Immortal King and had to flee in defeat, he’d never lift his head again, becoming the laughingstock of this fantasy world’s powerhouses.】

【Even if he went to the Allheavens Playground, he’d still be ridiculed and mired in shame. This was something he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.】

【For this reason, the quasi-demon emperor decided to fight you to the end. He didn’t believe your perverse talent could last indefinitely.】

【Just as he was thinking this, you entered a marvelous state. Being just a step away from the quasi-immortal emperor realm, and with this earth-shattering battle, you managed to break through your limits and comprehend the Dao law and Immortal Scripture at the quasi-immortal emperor level.】

【As you took this step, your combat power skyrocketed to a terrifying extent. Moreover, your Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal still had a minute of duration left. Thus, you recklessly unleashed the most terrifying attacks.】

【This sudden change caused the quasi-demon emperor’s expression to shift dramatically. He hadn’t expected that you would break through your limits and comprehend the Dao law and Immortal Scripture at the quasi-immortal emperor level during your battle with him.】

【Now, your strength far surpassed his current level, almost matching his peak state. Facing you like this, the quasi-demon emperor felt a fatal sense of danger.】

【Thus, he could no longer care about saving face and wanted to escape without hesitation.】

【You naturally wouldn’t let him have his way. With a cold snort, you resolutely pursued him, determined not to let the quasi-demon emperor escape.】

【Seeing you closing in step by step, the quasi-demon emperor roared, warning you not to push him, threatening that he’d risk everything to drag you down to death with him.】

【Unmoved by his words, you continued your terrifying assault, intent on thoroughly subduing the quasi-demon emperor.】

【Seeing this, the quasi-demon emperor was utterly furious. He could attempt to escape into the Allheavens Playground, but you obviously wouldn’t give him that chance. Moreover, he had offended terrifying beings there and feared the trials of the Heavenly Tower, so escaping to the Allheavens Playground was impossible.】

【In other words, since you intended to push him to death, his only choice was to perish together with you. As a quasi-demon emperor who had weathered many storms, he decided to abandon escape and burn all his essence, aiming to drag you down with him.】

【Seeing this, you adopted a solemn expression and fought him fiercely. Eventually, the Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal’s effect ended.】

【With the effect over, you could no longer continue burning your essence. Thus, your combat power plummeted.】

【Seeing you stop burning your essence and your power decline, the quasi-demon emperor laughed heartily, realizing your talent’s effect had finally expired. He laughed and declared that he would be the final victor.】

【As the quasi-demon emperor laughed, he directly summoned an item. This item, from the Allheavens Playground, wrapped around his soul and drilled into your body, intending to seize your body.】

【Seeing this, your expression changed. Although your power had reached the level of fighting on par with quasi-immortal emperors, your cultivation level was ultimately weaker than this realm, and your soul’s strength couldn’t match the quasi-demon emperor’s.】

【Although the quasi-demon emperor had been continually weakened, he was still a quasi-demon emperor and had the aid of special tools. In other words, there was a real possibility he’d successfully body snatch you.】

【Seeing this, you sat cross-legged without hesitation, defending your mind and spirit, preparing to resist the quasi-demon emperor’s soul. At the same time, the Devouring Immortal Pearl frantically devoured the Demon King’s corpse in your inner world, offering soul power to assist you.】

【Your Chaos Immortal Garment also protected your mind and spirit, battling against the quasi-demon emperor.】

【However, in response to this, the quasi-demon emperor continued laughing grimly, declaring that resisting was futile in his presence and that your methods wouldn’t work.】

【You chose to ignore this, continuing to defend your mind and spirit against him. During this process, the Devouring Immortal Pearl went mad, unwilling to see you seized by the quasi-demon emperor’s soul. It mobilized soul-devouring power beyond its limits, frantically devouring the Demon King’s corpse, providing you the strength to resist the quasi-demon emperor’s soul.】

【As a result, cracks densely covered the Devouring Immortal Pearl’s surface. Despite this, it ignored the cracks, recklessly amplifying its power.】

【Seeing this, you felt heartache and urged the Devouring Immortal Pearl to stop. After all, the Devouring Immortal Pearl was akin to your kin, even closer than kin.】

【At this moment, your Chaos Immortal Garment also began burning itself, blocking the quasi-demon emperor’s soul and showing determination to live and die together with you.】

【Seeing this, despite your sorrow, you no longer lingered, giving your all to resist the quasi-demon emperor’s soul.】

【Not long after, the Devouring Immortal Pearl exploded. Shortly after, the Chaos Immortal Garment also shattered. In the soul confrontation, you undeniably suffered a tragic defeat.】

【In the end, you sighed and chose to self-destruct your soul, intending to perish together with the quasi-demon emperor. However, due to his tool’s protection, you ultimately didn’t harm him.】

【With your death, this simulation concluded.】

As the text simulation ended, Wang Ping’s mind was filled with numerous cultivation insights, allowing him to comprehend the Dao law and Immortal Scripture at the quasi-immortal emperor level.

Subsequently, many memory images surfaced, making Wang Ping feel a bit dazed.

After a while, Wang Ping came to his senses and sighed: “These old monsters are indeed tough to kill… However, although it’s said not to chase a cornered foe, if the simulated Wang Ping doesn’t choose to kill the quasi-demon emperor, once he recovers, the simulated Wang Ping will die instead. Thus, gambling on killing the quasi-demon emperor and breaking through to the quasi-immortal emperor level using his corpse is the best choice.”

“It’s just a pity… these old monsters all have their trump cards. Although the quasi-demon emperor had clearly exhausted his trump cards, leaving only an auxiliary body-snatching tool, this tool combined with his quasi-demon emperor level soul power was still lethal.”

Pausing for a moment, Wang Ping murmured to himself: “But now, I’ve obtained the Dao law and Immortal Scripture at the quasi-immortal emperor level through paid simulation. My combat power surpasses his; in the next simulation, I can completely rely on the Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal to counter-kill the quasi-demon emperor. If I can refresh another four-digit talent, it will be even more secure.”

Just as Wang Ping was thinking, the System’s voice timely rang out.

“Ding, the rewards have been generated successfully. The host can choose two items from the following rewards:

①. Immortal King Great Perfection cultivation level.
②. Four-Digit Talent: Innate Dao Seed.
③. A randomly selected quasi-Immortal King Weapon.
④. A randomly selected Immortal King Scripture.”

“System, I choose ①. Immortal King Great Perfection cultivation level and ②. Four-Digit Talent: Innate Dao Seed.”

After looking at the reward list, Wang Ping made his choice.

Since he can’t perform a paid simulation now, it’s better to continue to enhance his cultivation level to boost his combat power.

As for the Four-Digit Talent: Innate Dao Seed, it’s a can’t-miss opportunity, far superior to the other two rewards.

As Wang Ping claimed the cultivation reward, his cultivation level began to rapidly rise, reaching the level of Immortal King Great Perfection.

At the same time, information about the Four-Digit Talent: Innate Dao Seed appeared in his mind.

“System, can I use a Demon King Weapon for a paid simulation?”

Then, Wang Ping asked in his mind.

“Yes. The value of Immortal King Weapons and Demon King Weapons is equivalent.”

The System’s voice replied.

“Haha, that’s good. Next, I should head to the Demon Domain.”

After coming back to his senses, Wang Ping’s eyes flickered. With a single step, he vanished from the original spot.

This time, he didn’t intend to use the Immortal Domain passage. Instead, he forcibly broke the barrier and arrived in the Small Immortal Domain.

As Wang Ping entered the Small Immortal Domain, terrifying phenomena appeared, with dragons and phoenixes soaring, the atmosphere rich with immortal essence.

This alarmed all the beings in the Small Immortal Domain.

The ordinary members of the demon clan were astonished, not knowing what had happened.

The stronger members of the demon clan, especially the quasi-Demon Kings, had their pupils contract and their faces change drastically.

This terrifying phenomenon was indicative of the birth of an Immortal King.

This meant someone in the Small Immortal Domain had become an Immortal King.

The appearance of an Immortal King was not good news for the Fire Demon Clan.

Moreover, the phenomenon of this Immortal King far surpassed that of an ordinary Immortal King, making its implications even more terrifying.

As for the beings in the Small Immortal Domain, Chu Lingyin, Lu Daoxian, and others also noticed the terrifying phenomenon, all were extremely astonished.

Then, joy appeared on their faces.

After all, the existence of an Immortal King in the Immortal Domain is a great blessing.

Especially for Lu Daoxian, who immediately associated it with Wang Ping, thinking it was You who quietly arrived in the Immortal Domain and broke through to the Immortal King level.

To break through to the Immortal King level in such a short time was incredibly shocking.

However, when Lu Daoxian thought again, he felt it was impossible. Who achieves Immortal King level without closing up for extended periods?

So Lu Daoxian thought that Wang Ping, this mysterious senior, was originally an Immortal King. For some reason, he had sealed his cultivation at quasi-Immortal King level and stayed in the Lower Realm.

Now he has forcefully returned to the Small Immortal Domain.

It’s evident that he has significant plans.

For a moment, Lu Daoxian was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of vitality Wang Ping, this mysterious senior, could bring to the beings of the Immortal Domain.

Just as all parties were reacting, Wang Ping’s expression remained unchanged. With a light sweep of his sleeve, he tore apart the barriers of the realm.

Then, Wang Ping took a step forward, heading towards the Demon Domain.

When Wang Ping arrived in the Demon Domain, due to his overwhelming power, the entire Demon Domain seemed to resonate, and the heavens and earth produced terrifying phenomena.

However, unlike the unusual phenomena in the Small Immortal Domain, the anomalies in the Demon Domain were blood-black, with seas of blood and withered bones appearing, filled with oppression, as if foretelling the end of the world…

This alarmed all the Demon Kings in the Demon Domain, who came out of their seclusions to look in the direction where you were, their faces full of solemnity.

‘An Immortal King giant? Unexpected that there is such a powerful figure in the Immortal Domain, truly surprising…’

Yuan Shi Demon King and Jing Kong Demon King were solemn as they pondered in their hearts.

However, although they judged from Wang Ping’s cultivation level that Wang Ping should be an Immortal King giant, an Immortal King giant could not possibly cause such a major anomaly in the Demon Domain, simultaneously making them feel an extreme sense of danger.

Therefore, after some silence, they chose to come out together, appearing not far from Wang Ping.

With the appearance of Yuan Shi Demon King and Jing Kong Demon King, other Demon Kings also appeared one after another, surrounding Wang Ping.

‘A strong one from the Immortal Domain, what brings you to our Demon Domain…’

Yuan Shi Demon King said solemnly.

‘To collect a debt…’

Wang Ping calmly uttered these two words.

‘Collect a debt?’ Yuan Shi Demon King and the other Demon Kings instantly understood Wang Ping’s meaning.

This was obviously accusing the Demon Domain of taking advantage of the Immortal Domain’s weakness to invade and kill a large number of living beings in the Immortal Domain.

For a moment, Yuan Shi Demon King and other Demon Kings looked towards Demon King Yan.

This made Demon King Yan’s expression change.

Facing such a terrifying enemy, no one would fight a life-and-death battle for someone else.

In other words, he would most likely be thrown out to atone for the crime.

‘Are you really going to betray your own kind for an Immortal Domain strongman? Are you sure he will spare the demon clan after killing me?’ Immediately, Demon King Yan shouted, ‘Not of our race, their hearts are different. Today, we might as well join forces to kill him and rid ourselves of future troubles.’

Demon King Yan’s voice spread throughout the entire Demon Domain, causing all beings in the Demon Domain to be amazed.

This also made the other Demon Kings’ faces look somewhat unpleasant.

Throwing out Demon King Yan would be a sign of submission, quite shameful.

If this matter were to spread, they would also lose their prestige.

‘Demon King Yan, this is your doing; it was your unilateral decision to attack the Small Immortal Domain. Bearing the responsibility is also a natural consequence.’

Yuan Shi Demon King’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently.

They looked down on the resources in the Small Immortal Domain, so they ignored Demon King Yan’s actions.

Therefore, Demon King Yan wanting them to bear the brunt of his mistakes and fight with a terrifying existence was impossible.

Even if they managed to win by ganging up, it would come at a huge cost.

Not to mention, winning and killing are two different things.

If they couldn’t kill Wang Ping, their race would be in trouble.

If they couldn’t win, it would be even worse; the entire demon clan would face annihilation.

Yuan Shi Demon King’s words made all the other Demon Kings deeply agree.

They naturally understood this point as well.

However, this made Demon King Yan’s expression turn very ugly.

‘One Demon King Yan is not enough to bear this responsibility, nor can he withstand my fury…’

After watching the drama for long enough, Wang Ping finally spoke again.

Wang Ping took a step forward, releasing his terrifying aura without reservation.

At the same time, the quasi-immortal emperor-level Chaos Immortal Dao was fully displayed, causing the entire Demon Domain to tremble.

With Wang Ping’s eruption, all the Demon Kings’ expressions changed drastically.

They turned pale, faces full of horror, the shadow of death looming in their hearts…

As for Demon King Yan, under the targeted onslaught by Wang Ping, he was directly crushed into pieces by the Chaos Immortal Dao at the quasi-immortal emperor level, dying on the spot.

“Chaos Immortal Dao at the quasi-immortal emperor level…”

Yuan Shi Demon King’s voice was somewhat hoarse and filled with disbelief, clearly terrified.

After all, both quasi-immortal emperors and quasi-demon emperors are legendary existences. In the Demon Domain, although there are statues of quasi-demon emperors, they no longer count as living beings.

Now, such a character has appeared again.

Although the mysterious expert before them has not truly reached the level of a quasi-immortal emperor, understanding the Dao of a quasi-immortal emperor means he is already halfway there.

Next, it’s simply a matter of time to break through the final bottleneck.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this mysterious expert before them could kill them as easily as stepping on insects.

“Senior, regarding matters of the Immortal Domain, it was our fault for ignoring the invasion by the Fire Demon Clan. So, as long as Senior speaks, we are willing to pay any price to calm Senior’s anger.”

Yuan Shi Demon King took a deep breath, clasped his hands towards Wang Ping, and said humbly.

“I do not delight in killing and do not wish to destroy the Demon Domain. So, you only need to hand over your life-bound demon weapons and treasures that greatly benefit cultivation above the Immortal Realm, and I will spare your lives.”

Wang Ping said indifferently.

With these words, all the demon kings were stunned, then they showed glad expressions, handing over their life-bound demon weapons and many resources without hesitation.

Though losing their life-bound demon weapons was incredibly painful and made them reluctant, compared to their lives, these weapons were insignificant.

As for the resources, although they were also painful to give up, having given up their life-bound demon weapons, these resources were even less significant.

Wang Ping was quite satisfied with the demons’ understanding of the situation.

After all, Wang really did not enjoy killing. As long as they were sensible, he could let these people, who posed no threat to him and held no deep grudges, go.

Ultimately, Wang Ping’s purpose was merely to gain benefits for the Life Simulation, not to truly kill or destroy the Demon Domain.

He couldn’t bring himself to do what that predecessor in the First-Generation Transmigrator Chat Group had done.

Back then, blowing up the universe was because the universe was beyond saving, a helpless action.

If he could avoid it, Wang Ping wouldn’t do such extreme things. The living beings in the Demon Domain numbered countless times more than that universe, making needless slaughter even less likely.

Without more words to the group of demon kings, Wang Ping’s figure moved and disappeared.

The group of demon kings did not notice when Wang Ping disappeared. When they came back to their senses, they all let out a sigh of relief, their faces full of gratitude.

Their Demon Domain had almost followed in the footsteps of the Immortal Domain.

“We must warn the future generations that even if a domain faces a catastrophic disaster, it shouldn’t easily invade another. Who knows if a monstrous existence might emerge from that domain later on. If one does, it will be a nightmare for our Demon Domain.”

“After all, not every expert is as reasonable as this mysterious senior.”

Yuan Shi Demon King sighed and also disappeared.

“Next, immediately return the territories of the Immortal Domain and find ways to expand its area.”

Jing Kong Demon King also left a remark and disappeared.

The other demon kings, hearing his words, remained silent, sighed, and left one after another.

As for Wang Ping, he randomly found a place to start the Paid Simulation.

“System, consume two demon king weapons; I want to conduct a paid simulation.”

Wang Ping said in his heart.

“Ding, consuming two demon king weapons, Life Simulator activating, refreshing talents.”

The System’s voice sounded.

“Ding, talent refresh successful, congratulations host for successfully refreshing Four-Digit Talent: True Damage and Five-Digit Talent: Revival of the Dead.”

Four-Digit Talent: True Damage: The host’s attacks will become true damage, ignoring defense and causing maximum harm.

Five-Digit Talent: Revival of the Dead: The advanced version of Six-Digit Talent: Revival of the Dead, can resurrect oneself or another with a five-digit talent.

“Oh, surprisingly a four-digit talent again! And this one is supremely powerful!”

Wang Ping was full of joy as he looked at the refreshed talents.
