Chapter 726: Terrifying Move [3rd Update]
Su Yie turned around, pointed towards The Gate of the Great Dao, and said, "It's that gate."
The moment Shi Er turned following his finger and saw The Gate of the Great Dao, his expression drastically changed.
"I have said, this gate is evil, we must not touch it."
Shi Er shook his head, like a rattle-drum, his whole body radiated with resistance.
Xia Tianyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you supposed to be invincible?"
Slap!
Shi Er backhandedly slapped Xia Tianyi, sending him flying.
The corner of Su Yie's mouth twitched as he felt obliged to say, "He is one of my beloved generals, you mustn't mistreat him like this."
Upon hearing this, Shi Er reached with his right hand and Xia Tianyi was sucked back towards him.
Xia Tianyi's right cheek was swollen, and his eyes were filled with rage, seemingly ready to fight to the death.
Su Yie stood in front of him and asked, "Are you really unable to obtain The Gate of the Great Dao?"
"I need it, truly," he said earnestly, causing Shi Er to frown.
Immediately after, Shi Er turned around and walked towards The Gate of the Great Dao.
At this moment, the Female Cultivators of The Ice Emperor's Veins also joined the chaotic battle.
Bai Luochen, Xia Xuanwu, and the Wraithful Dark Lord fought to a standstill, and their subordinates were fighting on their behalf.
Shi Er walked leisurely, neither hurriedly nor slowly.
All these battling beings were disregarded by him; his gaze was focused on The Gate of the Great Dao.
Looking at his expression, he seemed somewhat hesitant.
He had attempted entry through The Gate of the Great Dao more than once, the pain he suffered left him deeply wary.
Just as he was hesitating whether or not to seize the gate,
the Wraithful Dark Lord noticed Shi Er's approach and cursed loudly, "Be careful! Someone's trying to fish in troubled waters!"
No sooner had these words been spoken than both Bai Luochen and Xia Xuanwu turned their heads to look.
Their gazes landed on Shi Er, causing both of them to frown.
The Wraithful Dark Lord, unable to defeat Xia Xuanwu, was full of rage and charged at Shi Er without delay.
He also sought to distance himself from Bai Luochen and Xia Xuanwu.
His speed was incredibly fast,
almost instantly arriving above Shi Er's head.
Xia Xuanwu sneered, showing utter disdain.
Though Shi Er was unfathomable, compared to the Wraithful Dark Lord, he appeared considerably weakened.
Xia Xuanwu was full of contempt for the Wraithful Dark Lord's bullying behavior.
Bang!
Shi Er backhandedly slapped the Wraithful Dark Lord atop his head, exploding his body, killing him instantly, and even his Divine Soul dissipated alongside.
Silence!
The entire cosmos fell into silence.
Xia Xuanwu stood there with his mouth agape, his face a picture of shock.
The other beings had their mouths wide open, as if struck by lightning.
Even Bai Luochen's complexion changed drastically.
The Wraithful Dark Lord was on their same level of existence; he couldn't overcome them, just as they were unable to slay the Wraithful Dark Lord.
Seeing the ease with which Shi Er killed the Wraithful Dark Lord, an unspeakable fear crept into their hearts.
Shi Er didn't even glance at them and flew straight towards The Gate of the Great Dao.
Soon enough, he was standing in front of the gate, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, completely still.
He was conflicted about whether or not to touch The Gate of the Great Dao.
The beings from The Ice Emperor's Veins, the Demon Palace, and the Evil Hall stood rigid, daring not to make a move, lest they disturb Shi Er.
"Who exactly is he?"
A Demon from the Demon Palace asked cautiously.
No one answered him, as the other beings were pondering the same question.
After a long while,
Shi Er seemed to remember something, looked towards the beings from the three forces, and muttered, "Almost forgot about you."
"Die, all of you, annoying ants."
Boom! Boom! Boom...
One after another, the beings exploded and died, turning into mist of blood that dispersed into the cosmos.
In the blink of an eye, only Bai Luochen and Xia Xuanwu were left, their expressions filled with horror, feeling a bone-chilling cold.
They desperately wanted to escape, but faced with Shi Er's hollow eyes, they didn't dare to move.
"Your talents are passable. Become my Evil Soldiers. From now on, you will be two of Su Long's, the Evil Emperor's, Evil Soldiers. Su Long is the only Evil Emperor under me. Do you understand?"
Shi Er spoke, his tone indifferent as if devoid of emotion.
Hearing this, Bai Luochen and Xia Xuanwu were stunned, unsure how to respond.
"If you dare to flee, your fate will be the same as those ants from before."
Shi Er threatened, shifting his gaze towards The Gate of the Great Dao and continuing, "Now go and kneel before the Evil Emperor!"
At these words, Bai Luochen and Xia Xuanwu trembled violently.
Xia Xuanwu cautiously asked, "Who is Su Long, the Evil Emperor?"
"Me."
The voice of Su Yie came from afar, turning the faces of Xia Xuanwu and Bai Luochen ashen.
They were to kneel before the Supreme Lord of Infinity?
At that moment, they nearly collapsed.
Su Yie looked on calmly, watching them.
Inside, he was secretly thrilled.
Serves you right for showing off before. How's that feel now?
Surprised, aren't you?
Unexpected, right?
Xia Tianyi, who was nearby, almost laughed out loud too, but he had to maintain the aloof demeanor of a Sword Saint.
Xia Xuanwu and Bai Luochen, with their heads hung low, flew towards Su Yie and the other.
They didn't dare wait for Shi Er's prompting.
The horror of the previous scene was too intense, it chilled them to the bone.
Upon reaching Su Yie, they knelt, their bodies trembling.
"We greet the Evil Emperor!"
Xia Xuanwu said with a suffocated voice, clearly distressed.
"We greet the Evil Emperor."
The voice of Bai Luochen was very low, as quiet as a mosquito's buzz.
Su Yie said, "Hmm, rise. No need for such formalities."
Xia Xuanwu and Bai Luochen stiffened, forcibly suppressing the urge to strike Su Yie as they stood up.
They didn't look at Su Yie but turned their heads away.
They then saw Shi Er flying towards them with The Gate of the Great Dao.
Shi Er tossed The Gate of the Great Dao down before Su Yie and the others.
Seeing The Gate of the Great Dao made the heartbeats of Xia Xuanwu and Bai Luochen accelerate.
The Gate of the Great Dao was less than three meters away from them.
They could escape through The Gate of the Great Dao!
But...
In front of Shi Er, could they truly escape?
The death of the Wraithful Dark Lord was too much for them, so much so that they didn't dare face Shi Er.
At that moment, a figure walked past them.
It was Su Yie!
Su Yie looked at The Gate of the Great Dao and asked, "If I touch it, will I turn into a dried corpse like those beings before?"
Shi Er shook his head, saying, "Of course not. The corruptive force on The Gate of the Great Dao was arranged by me, and I have already retracted that power."
Upon hearing this, Su Yie immediately placed his hand on The Gate of the Great Dao.
The emotions of Xia Xuanwu and Bai Luochen were complex.
They looked at Su Yie with extremely complicated expressions.
Su Yie's face changed slightly as his Great Celestial Devouring Technique began to operate on its own. Shortly after, The Gate of the Great Dao swiftly shrank and drilled into the palm of his hand.
"Sigh."
Xia Xuanwu exhaled deeply, his entire being exuding sorrow.
Bai Luochen struggled to maintain an expressionless face.
Then, Su Yie took out The Gate of the Great Dao again, the Great Celestial Devouring Technique miraculously controlling it so he could see it within himself and yet take it out at any time.
Seeing him casually playing with The Gate of the Great Dao, both Xia Xuanwu and Bai Luochen sighed again.
Shi Er drew close to Su Yie, asking, "What use is The Gate of the Great Dao to you?"
Su Yie replied, "It can help me become stronger. The stronger I am, the more qualified I will be to be your Evil Emperor."
