Chapter 2312 - 2309: The Flame Demon’s Painful Past

As the golden light suddenly appeared, everyone’s vision was blocked.

When their vision was restored, they were horrified to discover the presence of ancient divine phantoms in the cosmic starry sky.

These ancient divine phantoms, though not as awe-inspiring as the ancestors of Sanqing, each possessed an incredibly frightening pressure.

The sky filled with gods!

The divine might is vast!

Twelve hundred gods descend!

The most heart-stirring scene of the Luotian Grand Jiao appeared!

With the descent of twelve hundred gods, it was as if an invisible force enveloped the heavens and Earth, interfering with the laws of heaven and Earth!

In the unseen world, the heavens seemed to be rewritten.

It was as if some astounding evolution was underway.

Unbeknownst, the beings of all heavens and myriads of worlds were undergoing some kind of transformation within.

Especially those who cultivate.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged atop the sky dome, his body shimmering with immortal light and mysterious Dao patterns emerging from his bones.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was enveloped by a formless Qi.

Seen from a distance, Ye Xuan appeared to be sitting cross-legged in the void, but closing one’s eyes to feel it deeply, one would find Ye Xuan completely vanished.

As if he had merged into the heavens and Earth.

As if Ye Xuan was already the sole sovereign of the universe, suppressing all eternity.

That invisible sense of oppression felt just like...

"Ye Xuan seems to be one with the twelve hundred gods, that pressure is too terrifying!"

"It’s simply unbearable!"

Such voices echoed from all across the heavens and myriads of worlds!

In all heavens and myriads of worlds, there were countless cultivators, and anyone who sensed this could feel the terrifying pressure.

The more they pondered it, the more shocking it was.

It was as if in Ye Xuan’s eyes, they were merely ants that could be crushed at will!

It was the feeling of one’s life completely resting in someone else’s hands, with not even the space to struggle.

This feeling of powerlessness and defeat was incredibly uncomfortable.

At this moment.

The shadows of Ye Xuan seemed to engulf all the strong beings in all heavens and myriads of worlds.

Those who originally took Ye Xuan as their highest target and wished to defeat Ye Xuan found their Dao hearts on the verge of collapse.

While those from the Revenge Lineage and those who voluntarily followed Ye Xuan felt even more reverent.

The enemies, on the other hand, felt complete despair.

For instance...

Flame Demon Great Emperor.

Back when Ye Xuan summoned the ancestors of Sanqing, it was already enough to leave an indelible impression.

But as the twelve hundred gods descended, and Ye Xuan appeared as the sovereign, those forgotten fears from the depths of the soul resurfaced.

Those were the memories of kneeling and begging for mercy after being defeated by the Undying Night Emperor in the Middle Ages!

He would never forget that disgraceful day.

That was when he had already become an Emperor, with his might suppressing all heavens and opening a new era.

He traveled to the Xuanhuang Great World to find a woman from the Red Sparrow Institute.

The one renowned as the peerless beauty of the Middle Ages.

He thought that since he had become an Emperor, such a remarkable presence should certainly be part of his harem.

However, to his anger, that woman dared to reject him.

This filled the Flame Demon Great Emperor, who sat atop the peak of that era, with fury!

This woman, unable to become an Emperor, dared refuse him, already at the peak of the Great Emperor!

That day.

The Emperor’s might of the Flame Demon Great Emperor enveloped the Red Sparrow Institute.

That ancient sect, with its long-standing legacy, faced the most terrifying blow.

In the face of an Emperor’s rage, the Red Sparrow Institute could not resist at all.

To counter an Emperor, often only another Emperor could suffice.

This, all knew.

And at that time, the Red Sparrow Institute lacked an Emperor.

So when facing the wrath of the Flame Demon Great Emperor, they were completely helpless.

The peerless beauty had a trace of sorrow.

She was a Great Saint, her strength extraordinarily formidable.

But such strength meant nothing before an Emperor.

Just a bigger ant and a smaller ant, nothing more.

Just as she was about to submit to the Flame Demon Great Emperor, a humanoid being wrapped in eerie black Qi suddenly arrived.

Its aura was faint, seeming eerie, yet no one felt fear.

Especially not the Flame Demon Great Emperor at his peak.

Therefore, when the eerie humanoid being told him to kneel and slap himself to apologize to the Red Sparrow Institute, the Flame Demon Great Emperor neither felt anger nor laughed.

Firstly, because no one had dared speak to him like that since he became an Emperor.

Secondly, the ignorance of this fellow amused him greatly.

How could one be so ignorant to utter such ignorant words?

Facing this fellow, the Flame Demon Great Emperor’s anger faded, and he laughed, looking at the humanoid wrapped in eerie black Qi, asking:

"Do you know what it means to be an Emperor?"

The humanoid being wrapped in eerie black Qi did not respond.

But at that moment.

The Flame Demon Great Emperor witnessed the most terrifying power in the world.

What kind of soul power was this?

The Flame Demon Great Emperor could not describe it.

The most direct feeling was... his own Emperor Soul, facing that power, felt like an ant before a dragon-elephant.

Not comparable at all.

At that moment.

The Flame Demon Great Emperor faced the greatest danger since becoming an Emperor.

On the brink of life and death!

Instantly deeply wounded!

Blood streaming from his seven orifices.

Utterly miserable.

What shocked the Flame Demon Great Emperor most was the humanoid being wrapped in eerie black Qi said:

"I understand the Emperor better than you."

And following that, the Flame Demon Great Emperor was beaten to a state worse than death by the humanoid being he later learned was called the Undying Night Emperor.

An Emperor utterly without resistance.

That was the Flame Demon Great Emperor’s nightmare.

His life was completely overturned.

His era had not truly begun before it completely ended.

He never understood what relationship the Undying Night Emperor had with the woman of the Red Sparrow Institute.

He guessed he had violated some taboo.

Was it that peerless beauty?

But later he heard that the woman died during the impact on the Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Undying Night Emperor did not appear.

He knew he hadn’t violated the taboo of the woman, but of the Red Sparrow Institute.

Yet, he still didn’t understand why, with the Undying Night Emperor being so powerful, the Red Sparrow Institute did not fare well.

Later he stopped dwelling on that matter.

For in that nightmare, he lost Tian Ming.

If not begging the Undying Night Emperor like a dog in the end, he might have lost his life.

Those memories had been forgotten by the Flame Demon Great Emperor in the corner.

But seeing the present Ye Xuan, those memories kept surfacing.

Scalp numb.

Breathing difficult.

The Flame Demon Great Emperor trembled, and his knees nearly buckled to kneel.

At this moment, the Flame Demon Great Emperor completely lost any desire for revenge, and regardless of whether Ye Xuan could hear, transmitted his voice saying:

"Emperor Ye, it’s been a long time since we met, just made a little joke with you, my voice might have been a bit loud, please don’t be angry, I’ll leave immediately."

With that, he fled in distress from the Xuanhuang Great World back to the Heavenly Demon World.

"Just now... did Flame Demon Great Emperor nearly kneel in fright?"

Someone asked puzzledly.
