Poof!
A mouthful of golden emperor blood sprayed out from the boundless void.
Chu Yang had now lost his Dao Fruit, and his cultivation as an emperor was plummeting like a deflated balloon, rapidly falling.
While traversing this celestial star region, Chu Yang suffered severe injuries.
Covered in blood, he looked extremely tragic, resembling a blood-soaked figure.
When he returned to the familiar All-Spirits Continent, his cultivation had already fallen below that of a quasi-emperor and was continuing to plummet rapidly.
Arriving in the lands of the Nine Provinces, Chu Yang's expression suddenly tensed.
He discovered countless powerful auras rising from the borders of the Nine Provinces.
The overwhelming demonic aura was like a plague of locusts, sweeping across the entire land.
Countless powerful demon clan members emerged, charging towards the human world.
Among these demons were numerous saints and terrifying supreme-level demons.
Their terrifying momentum seemed to flatten the Nine Provinces.
Chu Yang frowned.
He clearly sensed an extremely subtle aura.
It was identical to the aura from the fox tail before.
Her again!
From the beginning, everything had been orchestrated by a hidden hand.
Whether it was Yaoguang, the Empress, or the Heavenly Demon Emperor, they were all under the control of that hidden hand.
Everything they did was controlled by that existence.
These people were like chess pieces, manipulated to set up such a terrifying situation.
All this was just to target him.
However, Chu Yang couldn't figure out when he had offended such a venomous woman, and why she was doing this.
Could there be some karmic entanglement between them?
But Chu Yang had no time to think about it or explore the reasons.
Tearing apart the void in front of him with his bare hands, he entered the Nine Provinces, arriving at the border being invaded by the demon clan.
Seeing the massive demon army, Chu Yang did not flinch. Even though his strength was only a tenth of what it was, he showed no fear.
He resolutely chose to charge at the forefront.
...
Outside the Heavenly Emperor Mirror.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. What was going on?
Many cultivators looked at those human cultivators who had been constantly accusing the Emperor before.
"Didn't you say that the human race did not appear when facing such a catastrophe? Didn't you say that the Emperor did not help the human race, even though you desperately called for him, he did not show up?"
"Then look, what is all this in front of you!"
Many cultivators couldn't help but angrily reprimand.
Seeing the Emperor fighting fiercely despite his blood loss and declining cultivation, still risking his life for the safety of the human race, the human cultivators felt their faces burn with shame.
Their faces turned red, blushing deeply.
Those who had insulted the Emperor before were now dumbfounded.
"But in our memory, when facing this catastrophe, the Emperor indeed did not appear!"
Many cultivators couldn't help but point at these guys and curse, "Open your eyes wide and take a good look. If the Emperor didn't appear, what is this scene in the Heavenly Emperor Mirror? Are you blind?"
Those reprimanded human cultivators blushed but did not retort.
There was nothing left but endless silence.
They didn't know how to respond.
Some cultivators sneered and said, "With everything the Emperor has done for the human race, even if he did slaughter hundreds of thousands of humans, so what? Compared to his contributions, is that too much to ask?!"
"Moreover, none of this was done by the Emperor. It was you humans who misunderstood the situation and kept insulting him."
"And the Emperor didn't hold these actions against you. When he saw the human race facing a catastrophe, he rushed forward at the first opportunity. You need to understand, the Emperor now is not the same as the Human Sovereign before. He no longer possesses that earth-shaking cultivation!"
"Among the demon army, saints are as common as dirt, great saints are as numerous as dogs, and there are countless supreme experts!"
These cultivators couldn't stand the humans' hypocrisy and began to curse them out.
Many other cultivators also voiced their agreement.
Seeing this, Ye Fan wanted to warn these outspoken individuals, but no matter how much he signaled, no one paid him any attention. They all stuck to their opinions.
Being ignored made Ye Fan tremble with rage.
He knew these cultivators were now difficult to control, and soon they might fully support the Emperor.
But this couldn't be blamed on the cultivators for being fickle.
The Emperor's sufferings and burdens were so immense that even those who hated him couldn't bring themselves to slander him on this matter.
The Emperor had endured too much for the human race.
However, Ye Fan's heart was already filled with boundless anger.
He was nearly gnashing his teeth, wishing he could immediately take action and kill the Emperor in the Heavenly Emperor Mirror.
But he held back, knowing that if he struck now, many cultivators would retaliate against him, which would only backfire and leave him with a bad reputation.
He could only continue to endure, not believing that the Emperor could always maintain such a holy appearance in front of everyone!
One day, the Emperor's true face would be exposed.
...
At this moment, Chu Yang charged alone into the human border.
In the distance, the battlefield was already raging, with endless dust sweeping the sky.
The shouts of battle were like a tsunami, and the flying dust was like an unstoppable flood, rushing into the human world.
The battle was extremely fierce, with countless humans and demons shedding blood in this void.
However, compared to the demon clan, the humans were evidently weaker.
Seeing this, Chu Yang did not hesitate for a moment. With a single hand, he summoned the Wu Shi Bell, which emitted brilliant golden light in his palm.
Then, one man and one bell stood under the sky, facing the vast demon army.
At this moment, the advancing demon army suddenly came to a halt upon seeing this figure.
It was an incredibly ridiculous scene, a dramatically lopsided standoff, yet such a theatrical situation occurred.
The demon army, numbering in the millions or even tens of millions, was forcibly stopped by one person.
The battlefield, which was filled with the sounds of battle just a moment ago, became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Countless demons were filled with fear as they looked at the man before them, not daring to advance.
"Those who offend the human race, no matter how far, will be executed!"
The man's voice rang out softly.
Yet it instilled boundless fear in the hearts of the demon army, making them tremble uncontrollably.
