Chapter 597 The Descent of the Sea God
Pretty Girl suddenly felt that his voice seemed to have undergone some changes, familiar yet strange. It was familiar because it seemed to have been heard before, but it was strange because it seemed to not belong to Asura.
In the midst of this fleeting time, from afar, the endless night once again obscured the light of stars and moon, gradually approaching, with the darkness spreading like a cloud.
The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor didn't make a sound again, but within that pervasive darkness, the intent to kill was palpable.
Tang San nodded at the Peacock Demon King, then raised the fifth Sword Order in his hand!
The sharp sword light rose to the sky, carrying an unparalleled brilliance and powerful energy fluctuations, bearing the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor's intentions. Once again, it merged with the Red-crowned Crane Demon as one with the sword, hurtling towards the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.
Tang San's eyes slightly closed, his face bearing a smile, he muttered to himself, "The sword is sacrifice."
The silver light flickered, and to Pretty Girl's astonishment, it had already enveloped her and the Peacock Demon King, vanishing them from sight. But this time, the teleportation did not include Tang San. Pretty Girl only felt that in that instant, her body had been bound by her father's space power.
What she saw was only the tall and straight figure disappearing before her.
In that moment, it seemed as though time slowed down considerably. Yet at that moment, she clearly felt as if something most important within her heart vanished out of thin air.
"Don't—," she wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound within the space teleportation.
He never turned back to look at her because he feared that if he did, he wouldn't bear to part with her.
She was worried because of what the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said, but he understood even better what it meant.
It was because the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox must have seen something on him, and even this assassination might have been condoned by him.
If he survived this assassination, he would have a chance. If not, it meant obliteration. This seemed to be what the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was trying to tell him, after all, he was Human. He and Pretty Girl were different; Pretty Girl was a successor of the Peacock Demon Clan, with the Demonic Bloodline as her main heritage, but even the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox could not see clearly the bloodline in him.
Therefore, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor came. If not for the teleportation distance being far enough, perhaps the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor would arrive as well. To place him within a death trap.
After understanding the intentions of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, he had already begun to prepare. Both the selection of the divine tool and the gift of the Red-crowned God Sword were parts of the preparations.
But Tang San was clear that these were not enough to escape the deadly situation set by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. Everything he had prepared would inevitably fall under the control of the Dominator of Fate. To seek life within death, he must break free from his control to have that glimmer of possibility.
Therefore, when the Sword Order was used up, he chose to stay, to face it all himself, to face even a figure of Emperor status. This battle was like an egg striking a stone, but likewise, it was crucial to whether he could truly stand firm in this realm.
Just as the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said, if he could survive the pursuit of an Emperor, then he would be qualified to evolve towards the strongest direction in this realm, which meant he had the chance to protect himself. It also meant that the Peacock Demon Clan had the opportunity to rise again. With the ability of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, he should be able to see the existence of the Blood Covenant between him and Pretty Girl. So, at least for now, he would still be considered part of the Peacock Demon Clan and continue to support them.
"Boom—" The night collided with the sword light again, the sky full of light rain carried an incomparable brilliance. The terrifying energy even affected an area of several tens of miles, causing the entire sky to fluctuate violently. This was the collision between two Emperors, which would extinguish all vitality within that range if it took place on the ground.
Emperors have their limits, bound by the Ancestral Court, so even they dare not easily affect the ecology of the Continent, and their clashes could only take place in the air.
And within that fierce collision, Tang San's eyes lit up, radiating two golden glows. As the golden light flowed from his eyes, an odd aura emerged with it. The gold spread from his eyes to his forehead, and then downward, enveloping his entire body in gold.
During this process, his aura began to skyrocket, evolving at a crazy pace.
A golden, ethereal shadow rose behind him, growing from two meters to five, and then to ten, twenty, finally stopping at a hundred meters.
Though the shadow was ethereal, the fluctuation of mind that it emitted seemed to calm the violently colliding space.
The pervasive darkness that was about to spread into the distance stopped abruptly. A purple figure stepped out of the void against the backdrop of darkness, full of shock in its eyes, gazing at the huge golden figure not far ahead.
The hundred-meter-tall golden figure's face was unclear, but vaguely, one could see that it was clad in golden armor, with a tall and slender stature, and blue hair fluttering behind its head. In its hand was a trident that shimmered with brilliant golden light, causing the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's heart to palpitate.

That strange fluctuation of mind seemed to intimidate the entire space, and even the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, who prided itself as an Emperor, felt a tremble at this moment.
Emperor! Without a doubt, this was the aura of an Emperor, and seemingly not an ordinary one at that.
Even though it appeared not to be the true body, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was overwhelmed inside. Because it could definitely ascertain that this Emperor was not one currently known to the Ancestral Court but an unknown mighty being.
"Who are you?" the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor asked in a deep voice. At the same time, endless darkness accompanied by resplendent decay converged behind it, turning the originally dark sky into a profound purple which spiraled behind it in a vast vortex.
As if from the nothingness, a queer voice followed, "I am the Sea God!"
Accompanying these simple four words, the giant golden figure slowly raised the huge trident in its right hand, pointing it towards the sky.
All at once, a dazzling golden light shot up into the sky. It reached into the heavens, illuminating the former darkness.
The entire space seemed to be violently fluctuating; the earth trembled slightly, but the terrifying divine consciousness spreading from the body of the Sea God seemed to suppress everything.
The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor dared not be negligent, bringing his hands together in front of him as a purple-black crystal ball coalesced into shape — an object resembling a crystal ball, with countless light and shadow swirling inside. At once, streaks of ink-black dragon-shaped shadows wrapped around its body, with nine shadows flickering in and out of existence.
This was the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's most powerful divine tool, the Dark Nine Dragons!
As the name implies, enclosed within were the dragon souls of nine of the Dark Devil Dragon clan, one of which even belonged to the Great Demon Emperor level, while the rest were at the Great Demon King level.
Legend has it that if this Dark Nine Dragons successfully consolidates the dragon souls of nine Great Demon Emperor dragons with mutually complementary attributes, it could even transcend the entire plane and form its own realm.
Facing this unknown Emperor, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor cautiously brought out its strongest divine tool, which showed how much it dreaded the apparition before it.
And at this moment, the splendid golden trident had already been thrust out of thin air, with myriad beams of gold piercing through the dark, heading straight for the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.
