As Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, the divine runes that had been condensing on his body for a long time shattered just as they were about to complete. Everyone could feel that if he had held on for a little longer, he would have achieved the Great Emperor status. However, at this critical moment, everything was lost.
Chu Yang paid no attention to the breaking of the Great Emperor runes, instead staring blankly at the figure falling from the heavens before him.
He felt an indescribable sensation in his heart. Then he slowly stood up and turned his gaze to the Supreme Elder Devil.
Although Chu Yang's expression remained calm and composed, it was merely the calm before the storm.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
The cultivators watched in shock as the Great Emperor's Dao fruit, which had taken so long to condense, shattered at the crucial moment. Each of them was stunned.
They hadn't expected events to unfold this way.
At this very moment, when the Emperor was about to achieve the Great Emperor's Dao fruit and condense the Great Emperor's laws, all he needed was a little more time. He was on the verge of becoming an emperor, but he chose to forcibly stop.
It was as if the Emperor himself had voluntarily given up the Great Emperor's Dao fruit!
The cultivators found this hard to accept. They felt a sense of inexplicable sorrow, a deep sadness.
They had always believed that the Emperor had no feelings for Liu Xiaoxiao, hence his cold and heartless treatment of her.
But now they knew they had misunderstood the Emperor.
If the Emperor had no feelings for Liu Xiaoxiao, why would he give up the Great Emperor's Dao fruit at such a crucial moment?
In the eyes of the cultivators, the Emperor only needed a moment to complete the Dao fruit's condensation and step into the Great Emperor realm.
But he gave it up!
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoxiao's expression changed drastically.
Her delicate face trembled; she had never expected Brother Chu Yang to do this for her. Tears streamed down her face.
At that moment, Liu Xiaoxiao realized that Chu Yang did care about her. If he didn't, why would he give up the Great Emperor's Dao fruit?
He had never shown it, so she hadn't noticed!
Realizing this, Liu Xiaoxiao's face lit up with an incredibly bright smile.
Her smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower, captivating everyone.
Tears filled Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes. She knew that Chu Yang did have her in his heart, and that was enough.
She had always thought she had never entered Chu Yang's heart, but seeing what happened after her fall, she understood that Chu Yang had hidden his feelings too deeply.
At this moment, even the slightest doubt and confusion in Liu Xiaoxiao's heart vanished completely.
For Liu Xiaoxiao, what she needed was simple: as long as Chu Yang had her in his heart, that was enough.
Everything else had become unimportant.
Liu Xiaoxiao always believed that Chu Yang must have his own reasons for everything that happened afterward.
Only Ye Fan's face looked somewhat unsightly at this moment.
He hadn't expected the Emperor to willingly give up the Great Emperor's Dao fruit, which made the other cultivators' hatred for him lessen significantly.
For Ye Fan, he wanted to see how many evil deeds the Emperor had committed after the Demon Emperor's death.
This way, he hoped to turn the Demon Emperor against the Emperor completely, siding with him.
But now, everything was unfolding in an unpredictable direction.
Ye Fan's heart was filled with boundless hatred for the Emperor. He hoped that when the Emperor killed the Demon Emperor's father, it would create a rift between them again.
He hoped that something would go wrong during the Demon Emperor's resurrection.
Because Ye Fan knew that when Liu Xiaoxiao saw herself resurrected, she would definitely choose to break through the Heavenly Emperor realm and save the Emperor.
With her nature, anyone who tried to stop her would face her wrath.
Therefore, Ye Fan was incredibly anxious.
In the scene.
Liu Changsheng, seeing his daughter's death, let out a sky-shattering roar, his eyes blood-red.
He resembled a beast that had lost its mind, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the Supreme Elder Devil. His body trembled, his voice hoarse and filled with rage: "Supreme Elder Devil, you've gone too far!"
"Originally, I intended to let you live a bit longer, torturing you slowly to death, but you insist on seeking death yourself!"
"You people... you've gone too far, far too far!"
Liu Changsheng howled at the sky, blood spraying from his mouth, his heart overwhelmed with boundless sorrow and desolation.
All his life, he had struggled to survive in the crevices of power. He had finally become the leader of the Demon Sect, but even then, he was treated like a puppet.
Yet he had never complained, always biding his time until he had enough strength to fight back.
Though he was cunning and scheming, his love for his daughter was genuine and deep. After all that had happened, Liu Xiaoxiao was all he had left. How could he bear to see her suffer?
That's why he doted on Liu Xiaoxiao to the point of indulgence.
But now, his precious jewel, the one he had sworn to protect at all costs, had died before his eyes. How could he not be furious?
Liu Changsheng gradually calmed down, his eyes filled with killing intent. He looked coldly at the Supreme Elder Devil and said, "Since you seek death, I'll send you to hell ahead of time!"
Boundless rage burned in his heart, his aura surging like a vast ocean.
The Supreme Elder Devil looked at him with disdain. He had never taken Liu Changsheng seriously, sneering contemptuously, "Liu Changsheng, you're just a worthless coward, yet you dare to speak such big words to me?"
"Haha, do you remember how your wife died? Do you remember how your parents died? You watched them die miserably but didn't dare to speak out. Now that I've killed your daughter, what can you do?"
"If it weren't for your obedience, you would have been dead long ago."
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's realm, Liu Xiaoxiao's expression froze upon hearing this. She was stunned.
From the moment she was born, it had always been just her and her father. Her mother had died early, but now she realized there was more to the story?
She had always believed that her father, as the Demon Emperor and head of the Demon Sect, was a figure of immense power and prestige. But now she understood he had many unspeakable difficulties.
Things weren't as glamorous as she had imagined.
Liu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, anger burning in her eyes.
It was very likely that her mother and others had died at the hands of this Supreme Elder Devil.
In the scene.
Liu Changsheng's face remained calm, but inside, a storm was raging.
He roared, "If a quasi-emperor isn't your match, I wonder if a great emperor will be enough?"
With his words, an immense imperial might erupted from Liu Changsheng, surging into the heavens, condensing the Great Dao of time and space.
It obliterated the surrounding stars.
At this moment, this was the true strength of the Demon Emperor.
