Waves of wind blew as the demon emperor and his guards slowly started to stir. As the demon emperor's cultivation was the strongest, he was the first to awaken with a lost look in his eyes.
Soon, his guards also started to awaken one after the other, each of them looking at the sword after they did with eyes filled with anticipation and terror at the same time. Each of them had lingering fears due to what had just happened.
"Retreat to a distance. If anything untoward happens to me, Zhen Ye shall succeed my place as demon emperor and maintain order over the various monster beasts and continue our bloodline," said the demon emperor to Zhen Ye and the rest after a moment of silence.
After he finished speaking, the demon emperor walked towards the sword determinedly. His footsteps were heavy, but incredibly purposeful.
"Lord Sacred Emperor, you can't!"
