"Su Nian, you've conspired with the demon clan, murdered fellow disciples, and the evidence is conclusive. Yet you still refuse to repent! For the sake of your contributions to the sect, we...
Su Nian remained silent.
Qian Weiwei saved him from the brink of death twice, and Su Nian always remembered this kindness, even though they were different as humans and demons.
Seeing that Su Nian did not answer for a long time, the Chaos Demon King once again extended his hand to Su Nian and said, "Let's form an alliance, Su Nian. We have no reason to fight. As an unexpected variable in this world, if we form an alliance, we will definitely be able to defeat the Ghost Emperor and destroy the immortals' plans! At that time, both the Nine Provinces and the Demon Realm will regard us as saviors!"
Su Nian did not speak.
He simply raised his palm slowly.
Then, under the solemn gaze of the Chaos Demon King, he struck out with a second palm!
"Two palms to cross the cycle of reincarnation!"
The Chaos Demon King interlaced his fingers and murmured, "Formless Golden Body!"
A barrier instantly appeared on the transparent surface of the Chaos Dharma Image, with colorful ripples shimmering around its outer edge. When Su Nian's palm struck down, it was like a pebble being thrown into a pool of colorful water, splashing up quite a bit of water, but failing to create any waves.
"Did you not understand, or are you determined to do things your own way?" the Chaos Demon King said coldly.
"I understand what you're saying," Su Nian said, her head bowed.
"Then why...?"
“However, you said something wrong.” Su Nian raised her head.
"What did you say?" The Chaos Demon King frowned.
In order to join forces with Su Nian, everything he said just now was true, without any deception.
Could it be... that there's something else that's beyond my expectations?
"That means there's something between us... not entirely without grudges!"
As Su Nian said this, she rushed forward instantly, drew her sword, and slashed with it.
"The Sword of Shattered Karma!" Su Nian shouted, the sword in the golden giant's hand flashing with dazzling light, "One sword to cross to the other shore!"
The Chaos Demon King's expression turned extremely ugly. He once again activated his Formless Golden Body, blocking Su Nian's attack.
"Stop! If you're going to kill me, at least give me a reason!"
"reason?"
Su Nian shook her head. "Of course, it's to repay the life-saving grace and to fulfill someone's request."
Within his little world, Qian Weiwei raised her head.
Su Nian continued to slash with her sword.
The Chaos Demon King dodged one sword strike after another.
His brows furrowed even deeper as he asked, "Avenging someone else? We live a thousand years apart. Could it be that one of my Chaos Demon Clan's descendants has offended you? If so, I can apologize to you!"
Su Nian didn't speak, but her hands continued moving.
"Is it for those villagers? Save your breath! Do you even know why they exist?"
Su Nian still did not answer.
The Chaos Demon King said, word by word, "They... are nothing more than fodder raised by the Demon Emperor!"
Su Nian paused for a moment.
The pause was so slight, yet it was still caught by the Chaos Demon King.
He quickly stepped back and said to Su Nian, "Everyone in the village is surnamed Ye! And they're all cursed. Haven't you ever wondered who cursed them? That's right... it was the Ghost Emperor Ye Hua! In the original world, the Ghost Emperor Ye Hua failed to become an immortal because of your interference. Enraged, he refined the entire world! But his appetite was too big; that couldn't satisfy him at all! So he tore a rift in the world and arrived here!"
The Chaos Demon King pointed to the sky, and looking in the direction he pointed, Su Nian saw the terrifyingly huge crack in the sky.
It looked as if the sky had been torn apart by bare hands; just looking at it made one tremble all over.
"Initially, this place was not lacking in spiritual energy; quite the opposite! Because of its proximity to the Immortal Realm Mountain, the spiritual energy here is hundreds of times that of the Hundred Realms! He refined everything here that possessed spiritual energy. After that, this realm should have become a barren wasteland like the First Realm. However, this realm is extremely special, with turbulent time flow. Even if it were refined into a barren wasteland, there would still be hope for it to regain its vitality. He realized that this realm was a treasure trove of resources that could be infinitely regenerated. Therefore, he transformed his hair into human form and established Ye Family Village to nourish the mountain with human life."
Su Nian paused briefly.
This explains the curse on the villagers.
He felt a chill run down his spine and his mind was heavy.
He thought the power of reincarnation could take the Ghost Emperor Ye Hua back to the past, but now it seems that... not only did he fail to forcibly take him back to the past, but he also unexpectedly created 99 Ghost Emperors.
Upon realizing this, he understood that he had made a grave mistake.
Let alone 99 Ghost Emperors, just one Ghost Emperor would be enough to send Su Nian into reincarnation.
Not to mention that the original Ghost Emperor had also entered this realm, refined its spiritual energy, and increased his strength to a higher level.
"If that's the case, where is the Ghost Emperor now?" Su Nian asked solemnly.
"Him," the Chaos Demon King chuckled, "wasn't satisfied after absorbing all the spiritual energy here. He passed through this storm, ventured into other worlds, and went to devour other demon emperors."
Su Nian's heart skipped a beat.
"Can he enter other worlds?"
"Yes, didn't I just say that the end of all realms is this realm? There are thousands of worlds in the primordial universe, but there is only one Immortal Realm."
He pointed to the distant Immortal Realm Mountain and said, "Now, the original Ghost Emperor is far beyond what you and I can compare to. Although he did not truly become an immortal, the spiritual energy he accumulated is probably unmatched even by true immortals."
"Then when he first began refining the entire world, did the immortals refrain from intervening because they felt he was not a threat?"
