79 – Kill the Demon Emperor!

The Dean’s hasty defense was utterly ineffective, easily torn apart by Wang Ping’s strongest sword strike, slicing the Dean in half.

The terrifying sword energy, after killing the Dean, continued its unstoppable trajectory skyward, shaking everyone to the core.

Sensing this horrific sword energy, both the Daoists and hidden demons in the capital displayed looks of shock.

This power was simply too strong, far surpassing the Demon King, reaching an inconceivable level.

“Is he dead?”

Wang Ping squinted his eyes, looking at the Dean he had just cut in half.

Then, he extended his palm, summoning terrifying red spiritual flames that burned the Dean to ashes.

As Wang Ping finished his task, a figure appeared, glaring at Wang Ping with a mix of terror and anger, and demanded, “Wang Ping, what is the meaning of this? Why did you kill the Dean?”

“Because he was an enemy hidden among humans,” Wang Ping said calmly.

“What do you mean by that?” The Grand Dao Master’s expression shifted unpredictably.

“Nothing much. I have no evidence to explain anything and don’t want to waste time explaining either.”

Wang Ping pointed his sword at the Grand Dao Master. The edge of the blade made the Grand Dao Master’s back feel cold.

Wang Ping’s power was terrifying, reaching the level of a Dao Saint and Demon Emperor.

And not just any Dao Saint or Demon Emperor.

Such strength was enough to sweep across the entire world.

“Gather the human leaders and all powerful Daoists, or humanity will perish,” Wang Ping said as he stared at the Grand Dao Master.

These words caused the old Grand Dao Master’s expression to change. He didn’t know whether Wang Ping meant he would annihilate all of humanity if they didn’t comply or if Wang Ping knew of other disasters.

“I understand.” In the end, the old Grand Dao Master could only nod powerlessly.

The situation was stronger than them; Wang Ping’s power was so terrifying that they had no choice but to comply.

After the Grand Dao Master left, all the academy’s experts stared at Wang Ping, silent and frightened.

Wang Ping, however, didn’t care about them and merely reunited with Chen Yao and the others.

“Wang Ping, you were too straightforward,” Chen Yao said with a bitter smile.

Such actions would lead to awkward situations and might complicate her stance.

“I don’t have the energy to play nice with them.” Wang Ping glanced at Chen Yao, calmly saying, “Not to mention, not all of them are good people. At this time, only by decisively killing the Dean and forcing them to comply can many things proceed.”

“You don’t need to worry. With the resources being amassed, you will become a Dao Saint. By then, once we are gone, no one will dare say much.”

“Alright,” Chen Yao nodded.

Not long after, the Grand Dao Masters and some powerful Daoists gathered. Human leaders also gathered, feeling furious but not daring to express it.

In the end, as simulated before, Wang Ping directly stated his demands, asking all sides to provide resources to nurture Chen Yao to eliminate the impending Demon Emperor and protect all humanity.

Though feeling aggrieved, they had no choice but to comply.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Chen Yao successfully broke through to the level of Dao Saint, her combat power so strong that Cai Yonglong, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Hu were filled with envy.

As for Wang Ping, he didn’t feel much. Although Chen Yao grew quickly and was at a cheat level among chat group travelers, she was only strong in terms of cultivation. Other skills were incomparable to him, making her practically the lowest combatant of the Spirit Sea Realm.

“Let’s go. Today, we kill the Demon Emperor and eradicate the strange,” Wang Ping led the team flying toward Mount Tai.

Behind him followed many people.

Chen Yao, twelve Grand Dao Masters from the humans, and many Daoist masters.

It could be said that all top-level combat power of humanity was being mobilized.

Although this action left defense lines extremely vulnerable, the terrifying power Wang Ping displayed a month ago had scared the powerful demons greatly, making them not dare to stir up trouble.

One could say that the human world was unprecedentedly stable.

This was also why, after experiencing discontent and grievance, the humans ultimately cooperated with Wang Ping to exterminate the Demon Suppression Cave.

Not only because of Wang Ping’s power but also because it was immensely beneficial to them.

If Wang Ping led them to eradicate the Demon Suppression Cave, it would be like eliminating a ticking time bomb, also deterring other potential Demon Emperors from acting recklessly.

“Form the array,”

Arriving at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Cave under Mount Tai, Chen Yao shouted, mobilizing all the Grand Dao Masters and Daoists.

Soon, with Chen Yao holding the formation plate of the Demon Locking Formation, combined with the twelve Grand Dao Masters and hundreds of Daoists, they formed the most powerful Demon Locking Formation.
In the distance, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Jun could only watch helplessly as the widespread battle of the century was about to unfold.

“The Demon Locking Formation is complete. It is time to break the seal of the Demon Suppression Cave.”

Wang Ping chuckled lightly, holding an ancient talisman, and flung it toward the entrance of the Demon Suppression Cave.

While Wang Ping could have broken the seal by force, it would have drained his energy significantly. Using the ancient talisman, a key that could unlock the Demon Suppression Cave, was the best option.

As the ancient talisman unsealed the Demon Suppression Cave…

In an instant, terrifying black gas erupted from the cave, turning the previously clear sky into a blood-black hue, creating an extremely eerie and oppressive feeling.

“Hehehe, the seal of the Demon Suppression Cave is broken. Could it be by one of our kind?”

“After so many years, this king finally emerges once more. This time, I shall bathe in human blood and devour millions.”

Immediately, waves of evil demon aura burst out from the Demon Suppression Cave, laughing maniacally.

However, before they could celebrate for long, the Demon Locking Formation formed white chains imbued with the power to restrain demons, binding and crushing them one by one.

“This is the Demon Locking Formation!? Damn it, this is a trap by those filthy Daoists!”

Seeing this, the demons that rushed out were utterly terrified.

“Hmph, just a mere Demon Locking Formation, and you think you can trap me!?”

At this moment, an extremely terrifying demonic aura suddenly appeared as a towering figure manifested in mid-air.

Standing eight meters tall, covered in black fur, and resembling a fierce tiger with a blood-red single eye on its forehead, it looked incredibly menacing.

“Three-Eyed Demon Emperor!”

Seeing this demon emerge and feeling its terrifying aura, all the Daoists present were filled with fear and instinctively trembled.

The Demon Emperor was too powerful; even its mere presence was unbearable for them.

If not for the Demon Locking Formation, most of them would have already perished.

“Haha, interesting. A Dao Saint has appeared among humans? But a mere newly-advanced Dao Saint thinks he can trap and kill me with this Demon Locking Formation, how laughable.”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor looked at Chen Yao and sneered.

“Besides, apart from me, there is another emperor in this Demon Suppression Cave.”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor’s words shocked the other demons.

But soon they began to sneer.

Indeed, so what if the Demon Locking Formation was set up by a Dao Saint? They had two Demon Emperors on their side; how could the formation trap them?

The humans’ act of unsealing the Demon Suppression Cave was nothing short of courting death.

“I am not the main force in this battle.” Chen Yao coldly gazed at the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor and said calmly, “There is someone else who will kill you.”

These words caused a slight shock among the demons.

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor seemed to sense something and slightly narrowed his three eyes, looking in a certain direction.

Over there, Wang Ping’s robe fluttered as he held his Spirit Sword, walking on air. Energy radiated from his entire being.

“Who are you? Why can I not sense the aura of a Dao Saint from you, yet your power is so immense?!”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor’s eyes locked onto Wang Ping, filled with doubt and suspicion.

“You do not need to know who I am. You only need to know that I am the one who will kill you,” Wang Ping said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of red flame wings appeared behind Wang Ping, distorting the air with their heat.

In the next moment, Wang Ping appeared in front of the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor, slashing fiercely with an attack imbued with sixty percent peak Sword Intent.

“No!”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor was shocked and quickly unleashed his power to collide with Wang Ping, resulting in a terrifying explosion.

Immediately, the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor’s entire body was sent flying, spewing blood in mid-air, and severely injured.

As for the other powerful demons, they were pulverized into dust by the blast’s shockwave, no longer existing.

Without the protection of the Demon Locking Formation, these demons stood no chance against the aftermath of the battle between two beings far stronger than them.

“Demon Locking Formation, suppress!”

Seeing the battle erupt, Chen Yao lightly called out, controlling the formation to generate numerous chains with demon-locking power, shooting towards the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor to assist Wang Ping in quickly killing him.

“Bull Demon, save me!”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor’s expression changed drastically and he roared.

In the moment he shouted, another terrifying aura burst from the Demon Suppression Cave, entering the Demon Locking Formation.

This creature, standing nine meters tall, was pitch black and bull-like.

Upon his appearance, he unleashed immense power, smashing Wang Ping’s sword energy and intercepting the attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor shattered the Demon Binding Ropes and appeared beside the Bull Demon, looking grim.
Wang Ping’s strength was beyond his expectations.

If it weren’t for the Bull Demon saving him, he would have been in real danger just now.

“Bull Demon, hold him off for me while I break through the Demon Locking Formation.”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor said solemnly.

“You can’t.” The Bull Demon stared at Wang Ping intently and said heavily, “You stall him, I’ll break the formation, it’ll be faster this way.”

“Alright!” The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.

Now was not the time for hesitation. The Demon Locking Formation was weakening their strength; the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it became.

If it weren’t for other formidable opponents, he wouldn’t be worried, but with a strong adversary like Wang Ping present, dragging it out was extremely disadvantageous for them.

“Roar!”

Immediately, the Bull Demon roared, unleashing a terrifying demonic power and fiercely striking the barrier formed by the Demon Locking Formation.

In response, Chen Yao’s expression changed, and she quickly controlled the Demon Locking Formation to resist the demon.

Although the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor didn’t seem to mind, the Bull Demon’s strangeness made it absolutely necessary to prevent him from escaping.

“Roar!”

On the other side, the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor, aware of Wang Ping’s strength, also let out a roar and used his full power.

A blood-red demonic energy gathered around him, and the single eye emitted a dazzling blood-colored light.

Then, a blood-colored beam burst out from the single eye, fiercely striking at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping’s expression remained unchanged as he raised the Spirit Sword.

Behind him, three sword formations instantly emerged, condensing astonishing sword energy, which then merged into one and collided with the blood-colored beam.

As the two forces clashed, the fiery sword energy tore through the blood-colored beam, gradually slashing towards the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor.

“Damn it, though this human’s power system isn’t particularly specialized in restraining demons, the flames and sword energy he’s condensed still restrain me even more than that of a Daoist.”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor felt very frustrated.

He could feel that in terms of pure power, he and Wang Ping were on par, perhaps even slightly stronger on his side.

Yet Wang Ping’s flames and Sword Intent made him feel quite tricky.

Moreover, with their strength weakened by the Demon Locking Formation, he truly wasn’t a match for Wang Ping.

“If that’s your strongest move, then prepare to die.”

Wang Ping spoke indifferently.

With that, Wang Ping held the sword in his right hand while his left hand formed a mystical seal.

In an instant, Wang Ping’s liquid spiritual essence surged out, condensing a massive fire dragon of crimson flames in the outer world.

This was the secret method recorded in the upper chapter of the Red Flame Technique: the Flame Dragon!

With the appearance of the fire dragon, the temperature of this space rapidly soared to a suffocating degree, even with the formation as a barrier, making the Daoists feel unbearably hot and uncomfortable.

They all looked at the scene in fright, their hearts filled with fear.

If it weren’t for the Demon Locking Formation, they would surely have been obliterated without a trace.

Also, if not for the Demon Locking Formation, this terrifying power would have leveled Mount Tai.

Such was the terrifying power of a high-level demon emperor, an invincible force that was too daunting for them to match.

For a moment, they were all even more in awe of Wang Ping.

“Damn it!”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor saw that Wang Ping, while clashing with him head-on, could still summon a fire dragon with the same terrifying power capable of killing an ordinary demon emperor. His eyes filled with rage, and his face became extremely ugly, as a shadow of death lingered in his heart.

“Bull Demon, save me!”

The Three-Eyed Demon Emperor screamed, completely losing the majesty of a demon emperor.

Facing the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor’s plea for help, the Bull Demon merely gave him a cold look, then ignored him and furiously attacked the Demon Locking Formation, trying to break it.

This caused Chen Yao and the others to turn pale and feel extremely distressed.

Some Daoists couldn’t bear the backlash, spitting a mouthful of blood, their aura weakening.

The Bull Demon was too strong, far surpassing an ordinary demon emperor. Even with the Demon Locking Formation in place, they couldn’t withstand the impact of his power.

“Bull Demon!”

Seeing the Bull Demon not coming to his rescue, the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor roared with great hatred.

Next, unable to defend, the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor was engulfed by the fire dragon and burned to ashes.

At this moment, the Demon Locking Formation was fractured by the Bull Demon’s attack. He looked delighted, intending to deliver another strike to shatter the formation and escape.

“With me here, you think you can escape?”

Wang Ping shouted coldly. Behind him, his fiery wings flapped, transforming him into a crimson divine rainbow that appeared in front of the Bull Demon, blocking his punch.

After Wang Ping intercepted the punch, Chen Yao and the others finally had a chance to catch their breath. They quickly stabilized the Demon Locking Formation, and the cracks disappeared once again.
