Chapter 740 - 890: No one has ever dared to talk to this Emperor like this
Chapter 740: Chapter 890: No one has ever dared to talk to this Emperor like this
Above the vastness of the heavens, the many supreme beings of the human race and the Demon Race stood face to face. Although they hadn’t made a move yet, the aura each released caused the sea of clouds to churn.
Pei Xuanjing, standing to one side, quickly grasped the situation from their brief exchanges.
In essence, after the supreme human beings had agreed to incorporate the Sky Wasteland into the Daming World, the Demon Race, unwilling to be outdone, wanted a slice of the pie. Both reached an agreement where whoever possessed the most land owned it.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Race was tricked. The integration of the Sky Wasteland into the Daming World required not only the supreme beings to push in the Sky Wasteland but also a powerful being to connect with the Daming World as a fixed point.
This was why these supreme beings were willing to give Pei Xuanjing a part of the benefit, just begging for his cooperation.
Although both parties reached an agreement, the Demon Race couldn’t compete with the human race. Although their power in the Sky Wasteland was not inferior, their ancestral strength in the Daming World was incomparable with the human race.
Especially with the appearance of Pei Xuanjing, an external supreme being, who disrupted the balance. As per the agreement, by the time the Demon Race was ready, the humans would have already swallowed all the benefits, leaving them with the leftovers.
Therefore, after the Demon Race realized they’d been tricked, they reacted immediately, joining forces to tear up the agreement and make it less convenient for the human race.
Pei Xuanjing, facing this situation, remained silent and didn’t take a stand or felt the need to take one.
After all, the current conflict was not within the human race, but between the human race and the Demon Race. Regardless of the benefits he accrued, Pei Xuanjing had no reason to side with the Demon Race.
“If we fight today, none of your incarnations will survive. You will suffer considerable damage losing them.” A human supreme being said coldly.
The reason they were confident was that they appeared in their incarnations at Shenxiao Mountain, as did the Demon supremes.
However, Pei Xuanjing was not the same, his true body was amidst the Forbidden Place of Shenxiao Mountain. If his real body took a stand, the incarnations of these old demons would have zero chance of surviving.
The moment these words were spoken, the faces of the Demon Race supremes darkened, evidently they were aware of this, too.
Yet, these Demon supremes weren’t ignorant of Pei Xuanjing’s presence. Even when they knew about him, they still chose to visit here, they clearly had their cards ready.
The Lion Emperor disregarded the threat, saying, “Great Ming State Master, top of the ancestral land, the emperor has admired you for a long time. Suppressing the Taixu Venerable proves your power. But the emperor would like to tell you, there is an enormous gap between supreme beings.”
The Taixu Venerable had cultivated for many years, but compared to the Lion Emperor, he was an absolute junior. His power was insignificant in the Lion Emperor’s eyes.
As the Lion Emperor said, even among the supreme beings, there were strengths and weaknesses. A supreme being like the Taixu Venerable, even with the Taixu Mirror, wouldn’t stand a chance against the Lion Emperor.
Therefore, even if Pei Xuanjing suppressed the Taixu Venerable, the Lion Emperor wouldn’t consider him a threat.
“Lion Emperor, do not be overly confident.” Master of Mystiq Sky sneered.
The Lion Emperor was indeed powerful, but having witnessed Pei Xuanjing suppressing the Taixu Venerable and the power he displayed, Master of Mystiq Sky would never consider him weak.
If the real body of the Lion Emperor appeared today, he might still think the result of the fight is uncertain, but with just an incarnation, it seemed a bit overconfident.
“Really?” the Lion Emperor, with an arrogant look, shifted his gaze onto Pei Xuanjing.
Faced with such a challenge and knowing it was orchestrated, Pei Xuanjing could no longer remain silent.
Pei Xuanjing took a step forward, looking at the Lion Emperor, “Why don’t we give it a try?”
In the face of doubt, he stood unwavering, choosing to meet force with force.
Where supreme beings of the human race were concerned, he might be somewhat humble, but facing the Demon Race, both in principle and reason, Pei Xuanjing would never back down.
Moreover, at this stage, although Pei Xuanjing had not truly entered the Strongest Realm of the Nine Realms of Spirit, he was absolutely confident in his power, favored by the will of Heaven and Earth, and blessed with Divine Position power, he was confident to fight any supreme being.
Even if the Lion Emperor was known as the number one demon being, Pei Xuanjing held no fear.
Let alone its incarnation’s appearance now, even if its true body was present, Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t back down in the least.
“Hahaha, the name of the Great Ming State Master is indeed not in vain. Not to mention his power, this courage alone is to be admired. In all these years, it seems no one has dared to speak to me like that.” The Lion Emperor laughed heartily, his voice resounding, but his gaze held a shred of anger.
As expected, he had dominated the Demon Race for thousands of years, and since he suppressed the Demon supremes and ascended to the throne, he had been the supreme ruler, his power sweeping across all.
Even Master of Mystiq Sky, who ruled the Righteous Path of the human race, wouldn’t dare to treat him like this.
How could being disrespected by a junior, like now, not anger the Lion Emperor?
“There’s always a first time for everything, and you’ll get used to it over time.” Pei Xuanjing retorted.
“Lion Emperor, if you think that I am not capable, why not measure my power for yourself?”
“Just you, wants to challenge majesty? Leave it to me to test your skill.” On one side, King Niu hummed.
The Lion Emperor was the supreme ruler of the Demon Race, the number one demon, and Pei Xuanjing was only a junior of the human race. His power was only at Spirit Realm Eightfold. Without certain means, how could he be an equal?
To King Niu’s word, Pei Xuanjing just glanced at him, then said coldly, “I have heard that the Lion Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Demon Race. Now it seems, his reputation is not justified!” On his face, a touch of mockery, then said, “I have been speaking with the Lion Emperor, and this Demon King wants to make decisions for the Lion Emperor?”
