Chapter 756 - - 554 Emperor, what will you use to fight against Pan-Universe Entertainment?

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Duge sat on the golden chair, with the brothers Qing Shan and Qing He standing beside him, while Xu Jinghui and Lou Zhen stood outside the hall.

On the lower side.

On one side were the West Peak Emperor, Dao Ming, and his two disciples, and on the other side were the Demon King, Lin Xiaotian, and his four protectors.

At this moment.

No one spoke.

Both the West Peak Emperor and the Demon King had equal cultivation levels, both in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The cultivation level of the West Peak Emperor, Dao Ming, was a step higher, as he, although in the Mortal Realm, had the supply of Immortal Pills from the Immortal Court behind him.

The Demon Clan, cast down to the Mortal Realm, cultivated in the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

No matter how vast the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, they couldn’t compare to the Immortal Realm, rich in spiritual energy, unless they had better talents and cultivation techniques, making most Demon Kings at the same level incomparable to Immortals.

…

Their cultivation levels were high enough that Duge’s Transformation Skill was transparent in their eyes.

Seeing that the Human Emperor was just a child under ten years old, they swallowed back all the words they had prepared.

The West Peak Emperor had always believed the Human Emperor was acting under orders from Emperor Donghua, but now, he couldn’t understand why the Emperor would choose such a young child for such a crucial task.

Lin Xiaotian, hopeful of the Human Emperor Inheritance upon his arrival, was similarly plunged into doubt and even skepticism that the supposed Human Emperor Inheritance might purely be a hoax.

“Human Emperor, what is your intention in summoning Lin here?” Lin Xiaotian asked.

He transformed from a tiger demon, with a robust stature and a yellowish beard covering half of his face, his voice booming like a large bell.

With no others in the Jinluan Hall, Duge simply dismissed his Transformation Skill and bowed slightly, “Emperor, Demon King, before we discuss matters, there is something I must clarify first.”

“Your Majesty, please speak,” the West Peak Emperor said, softening his tone out of respect for Emperor Donghua.

“I am the reincarnation of Xuanyuan, a fragment of the ancient Human Emperor’s true spirit. Recently, I received the Human Emperor Inheritance and awakened memories from past lives. I usurped the throne of the New Moon Country under the name of Emperor Donghua, aiming to revive the Human Race,” Duge said calmly, looking at both, “Today, I seek your support to aid the rise of the Human Race and jointly resist the Immortal Realm.”

Ranked among the top ten, with Emperor Donghua possessing Alien Warriors as hostages, he was bound to confront Emperor Donghua sooner or later, so Duge directly changed his strategy.

“…” Lin Xiaotian suddenly stood up, his tiger eyes staring intently at Duge.

“You, you dared to misuse Emperor Donghua’s name to create chaos in the Mortal Realm, I will take you to see the Emperor straightaway,” West Peak Emperor suddenly stood up, looking at Duge both shocked and fearful. At that moment, all his doubts had been resolved.

As he stood, the Heavenly Immortal pressure enveloped Duge like a torrent from the sky.

The brothers Qing Shan and Qing He bore the brunt of it, grunting as they each spat a mouthful of fresh blood, having no strength to retaliate against a cultivator of the same level as the West Peak Emperor.

Duge remained steady only by activating the Dragon Vein within him.

With a dragon’s roar, the Dragon Vein manifested, coiling around him, repelling all the pressure from the West Peak Emperor.

Simultaneously.

Lin Xiaotian’s eyes sparkled as he, too, stood up to confront the West Peak Emperor, his face carrying a hint of a smile, “What does the Emperor intend by this?”

At this moment, at another moment.

Previously, because of the child’s identity, he had looked down on Duge, but now, as Duge protected himself with the Dragon Vein, single-handedly resisting the Heavenly Immortal’s pressure, it reignited the hope in his heart.

Since ancient times, no mortal emperor could manage both cultivation and Dragon Vein Protection.

Moreover, he dared to play Emperor Donghua, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. If the Demon Clan protected this new Human Emperor, allowing him to grow, it would be a great assistance to the Demon Clan.

“Dragon Vein Protection?”

West Peak Emperor was not afraid of Lin Xiaotian; he was about to forcibly break through the Demon King’s barrier to strike at Duge and dispel the misunderstanding with Emperor Donghua when he saw the dragon-shaped phantoms coiling around Duge, which made him freeze on the spot.

Even as a righteous god of the Immortal Court, he couldn’t directly target a mortal emperor, otherwise, he would suffer backlash from the Dragon Vein, and his cultivation might dissipate into oblivion.

He couldn’t afford such a consequence.

Or rather, he was unwilling to bear such a consequence, becoming a righteous god and attaining the Heavenly Immortal status was not easy, and to lose cultivation and rise again was hardly a simple matter.

Moreover, the opponent was not an ordinary mortal emperor, but very likely the reincarnation of the ancient Human Emperor—a cause and effect he could not afford even more.

Furthermore, with Lin Xiaotian there, once he were to suffer backlash from the Dragon Vein, the Demon King likely would not let him escape either…

Cold sweat broke out on the West Peak Emperor’s forehead, finding himself trapped in a deadly situation in this mere Mortal Realm. He attempted to flee at the thought, but suddenly, above his head appeared a Black Tortoise Pearl, while dark energy entangled his feet.

“Your Excellency, please stay,” Duge said with a smile, standing up.

“Arrogance! Do you really think you can detain me with this broken pearl?” West Peak Emperor made no movement, and the Dark God Power Duge used to entangle him was pushed aside, while the Black Tortoise Pearl above his head started to crackle as if it was about to shatter any moment.

The Black Tortoise Pearl was a Magical Treasure given to Dao Ming by Heavenly Master Xu. Dao Ming was not his direct descendant; thus, the magical treasure he received couldn’t be of the highest quality. At best, it could handle mortals or True Immortals, but it was simply ineffective against a Heavenly Immortal like the West Peak Emperor.

Nevertheless, as it was still a magical treasure, Duge simply took back the Black Tortoise Pearl and retrieved the Dark God Power into his body, then released the all-powerful Daoist Rhyme.
