Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise appeared on the Supreme Elder Devil's face. He had not expected Liu Changsheng to achieve Great Emperor cultivation at this critical moment. This was a huge surprise to him.
He had always believed that Liu Changsheng had far greater cunning and scheming than most, but his personal abilities were indeed undeniable.
Confident that as long as he watched over Liu Changsheng, he would never cause any trouble.
He had significantly limited Liu Changsheng's access to power and cultivation resources.
However, to his shock, Liu Changsheng still managed to achieve Great Emperor cultivation.
After a moment of astonishment, the Supreme Elder Devil quickly regained his composure. He said indifferently, "Liu Changsheng, you truly are deeply scheming and extremely astute, reaching the Great Emperor level without my notice."
"You've clearly been patient for so long. If you waited a little longer until you became a half-immortal, that would have been your best chance. Yet, you couldn't hold your temper."
"A daughter? Is she really that important? Unable to endure even this hatred, you want to seek revenge on me? How laughable!"
"With your personality, you'll always be trampled underfoot, never to rise again!"
"Great Emperors are powerful, but there is an insurmountable gap between them and half-immortals!"
The Supreme Elder Devil suddenly shouted, and terrifying pressure erupted from his body.
The pressure of a half-immortal was heavier than the heavens and earth, dimming the sun and moon, reversing the flow of stars, and collapsing all laws.
But Liu Changsheng calmly said, "The power of a Great Emperor is enough to kill you!"
With that, he leapt into the sky, charging at the Supreme Elder Devil.
Boom! The vast sound echoed beyond the nine heavens, shaking the entire Wanling Continent.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
The gathered cultivators, seeing the nearly crazed Liu Changsheng, felt deeply moved.
This was the epitome of profound paternal love.
From their conversation, they learned many secrets from the past, understanding that there was an unresolvable hatred between Liu Changsheng and the Supreme Elder Devil.
Even Liu Changsheng's wife and parents had died at the hands of the Supreme Elder Devil.
Yet, Liu Changsheng had never shown a hint of resentment, always remaining patient.
Originally, Liu Changsheng was still biding his time, lying in wait, showing no flaws. Even when facing his enemy, he was always respectful.
For Liu Changsheng, perhaps he only needed to endure a bit longer to reach the half-immortal realm. But because of Liu Xiaoxiao's death, he could no longer endure.
He released all the accumulated resentment from countless years.
Everyone could feel the intense paternal love Liu Changsheng had. If it weren't for Liu Xiaoxiao, he wouldn't have exposed himself prematurely.
It's known that not everyone can reverse-slay a half-immortal with the cultivation of a Great Emperor like the Emperor.
Ordinary Great Emperors encountering half-immortal powerhouses would only face death.
Such a father, willing to do anything for his daughter, why was he later killed by the Emperor?
The cultivators were confused!
Clearly, the Emperor had feelings for the Demon Emperor. So why did he do such a thing?
Liu Xiaoxiao, seeing this scene, also had a subtle change in expression.
Although she didn't hate Chu Yang for killing her father, it didn't mean she didn't respect her father.
Especially now, after learning about the past, she felt a deep respect for her father, understanding the difficulties he had faced.
Ye Fan noticed the change in Liu Xiaoxiao's expression and felt slightly relieved.
He thought, how could anyone truly remain unmoved by the death of their father?
Especially after seeing everything her father did to protect her.
Ye Fan murmured, "It seems Liu Changsheng holds a high place in the Demon Emperor's heart. As long as there was no misunderstanding when the Emperor killed Liu Changsheng, it will definitely cause a rift between the Demon Emperor and the Emperor."
Everyone's eyes once again focused on the Heavenly Emperor's mirror.
Liu Changsheng, though a Great Emperor, faced an opponent who was a half-step immortal, one of the most powerful and terrifying beings in the world. No matter how brilliant and strong he was, it was evident he was not a match for such an enemy.
With each clash, his aura weakened slightly.
Yet Liu Changsheng did not retreat; he continued to fight madly against the Supreme Elder Devil.
Meanwhile, Chu Yang stood there, his eyes somewhat vacant, staring blankly at the figure before him.
He couldn't fathom how the lively, playful girl who had once bounced around in front of him had ended up like this.
Chu Yang could see that Liu Xiaoxiao's gaze was still fixed on him, her expression gentle.
But those beautiful eyes had lost all their sparkle, no longer filled with their usual lively spirit.
Chu Yang stood motionless, at a loss.
He kept looking at that familiar figure, staring into her lifeless eyes, feeling an overwhelming sorrow engulf him.
Scenes from their past together flashed before his eyes.
The tender looks, the stubborn attitude, the unwavering love—all vividly replayed in his mind.
Especially when he was imprisoned, how she tirelessly came to see him every day—those memories were deeply etched in his heart.
Back then, Chu Yang had been moved, but he feared that responding to her would only bring her endless trouble.
But now...
He didn't know how much time had passed.
A breeze swept across the mountain peak, rustling Chu Yang's robe.
The gentle wind lifted the strands of Liu Xiaoxiao's hair...
Chu Yang's face turned terrifyingly cold as he gently picked her up, not speaking a word, but his eyes were filled with an icy resolve.
Who could have imagined that the princess of the Demon Sect, to protect him, would burn her three souls and seven spirits, sacrificing her very essence and blood, fighting until the last drop of her blood was shed without taking a single step back?
Looking at her countless wounds, Chu Yang felt an endless sorrow.
Chu Yang walked forward, carrying her.
Finally, he could no longer endure it and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
His heart was filled with boundless hatred.
But he did not scream or shout, believing such actions were signs of weakness. No matter how much it hurt, he would not easily show it.
He had experienced too much sorrow.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with disgust and resentment.
People always said it was destiny, that fate was predetermined.
But why, if heaven had brought her to him, would it take her away again?
Chu Yang did not accept this.
If heaven was unjust, then why not defy it?
If fate played with people, then he would change fate, even if it meant falling into the demonic path.
Chu Yang said nothing, only walked forward calmly.
But his aura grew immensely powerful. Where once divine runes and demonic energy were balanced, now the demonic energy surged, swallowing all the divine runes.
Boundless demonic energy erupted from Chu Yang.
At this moment, he seemed like a god and demon descending to the world.
