Chapter 806 - - 572 Duge’s Nobility and Sacrifice_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

…

Another town.

Taixuan Emperor began his dreadful routine, not yet having fully consumed a few people.

Duge trailed after him, skillfully flinging an attack towards Taixuan Emperor, “Taixuan Emperor, cease harming my subjects…”

“…” Taixuan Emperor, annoyed by Duge clinging to him like a plaster, frowned, too indifferent to exchange words with him, and turned around to escape once again.

Duge lectured him yet again.

…

“Taixuan Emperor, if you wish to wreak havoc in the Mortal Realm, you must step over my dead body…”

…

“Taixuan Emperor, wherever you go, I shall follow…”

…

Duge, like an annoying plaster, was constantly right behind Taixuan Emperor, leaving him time to harm others but not enough to annihilate them all.

The way of the Human Emperor and his majestic image were thus forcefully imparted into the hearts of the people of Middle Heavenly State with each instance he bravely confronted the Evil Demon…

Knowing that his speed surpassed that of Taixuan Emperor under the sun, Duge grew increasingly bold.

Finally.

By the time they reached the fifth town.

Taixuan Emperor was almost driven to madness, his Blood Qi surging tumultuously, “Human Emperor, I have spared your life again and again, yet you persist in provoking me. Do you truly believe that I dare not kill you?”

“Taixuan Emperor, you may take my life, but before I die, I shall not let you harm a single member of the Human Race,” Duge countered sharply.

“Good, good, good!” Taixuan Emperor laughed furiously, “Good advice is wasted on the damned. Since you seek death so fervently, I shall take your body first, then slaughter the Human Race you guard.”

With these words, he inadvertently provided supreme assistance.

In an instant, all the civilians saved by Duge felt a surge of shared hatred, and their recognition of Duge reached its zenith.

“Taixuan Emperor, the Human Emperor Inheritance has been revived for merely over a month. I might not be your match, but with the fate of the Five States and the Human Race behind me, I shall not perish as long as the Human Race endures,” Duge proclaimed.

Duge looked up at Taixuan Emperor, utterly unaware of how cheesy his lines were, and declared righteously, “If you wish to fight, then I shall stand with you in battle. The Human Race shall not tolerate you, Blood Demon, and neither shall the Immortal Court. I am willing to risk my entire being to drag you, an enemy to all, into the abyss. Even if I fall in battle, the seeds of the Human Race have been sown, and as long as the spirit of the Human Race endures, there will be another Human Emperor to rise…”

“We shall see how long you, this arrogant brat, can hold out,” Taixuan Emperor scoffed, and manipulated his boundless Blood Qi to entangle Duge.

Duge took out the Profound Primordial Water Control Banner to block the initial onslaught of Blood Qi and swiftly moved to the sky, declaring loudly, “Taixuan, do you dare to fight me in the wilderness?”

“Why not?”

Taixuan Emperor, heart filled with frustration from the constant bother that was Duge, had long abandoned the idea of absorbing Blood Qi to enhance his own strength.

Now, he only thought about killing Duge first, seizing his Divine Body, and then feeding on the Blood Qi of the citizens of Middle Divine State.

Once he had the assistance of the Divine Body and concealed his Blood Qi, even if he were not a match for the Daoist Ancestor and the others for the time being, he could hide in the Mortal Realm, develop in secret, and if he could ascend to sainthood with the help of the Divine Body, he would have no more worries.

“Come.” Duge mounted his Escape Light and went ahead.

Taixuan Emperor followed closely behind.

When they reached the deserted wilderness, just as Taixuan Emperor was about to make a move, Duge revealed an evil smile, and in an instant, his figure vanished, his location after the instantaneous movement unknown.

Taixuan Emperor looked around in sudden bewilderment and roared, “Human Emperor?”

There was no response.

“Shameless child.” Unable to find Duge, Taixuan Emperor realized he had been fooled; he immediately turned around intending to return to the town they had just left to continue feeding on Blood Qi.

But before he could spread his red clouds.

A bolt of Tribulation Thunder suddenly struck right above his head, and Duge’s angry voice came through, “Taixuan Emperor, I have never seen someone as shameless as you, luring me to the wilderness and attacking my subjects whilst I was unprepared?”
