The Golden Crow Prince said with a stern face, "My father had an accident in the secret realm and had not yet had time to pass on his power. However, I have already been recognized by the Demon Ancestor in the Imperial Mausoleum. All the previous ceremonies were carried out under my father's instructions and were witnessed by everyone in the royal court. So, there is naturally no problem for me to inherit the Demon Emperor position now."
Uncle Liu sneered, "All this rambling is useless. The Demon Emperor has always been the strongest one in history."
The Golden Crow Prince's face darkened. It was clear that the other party did not want him to become the Demon Emperor, so there was no point in saying anything more.
The only thing he didn't understand was how the Second Prince had persuaded his Sixth Uncle. You see, once you enter the Council of Elders, these people are detached from worldly affairs, and every time they come out, they're spending one of their remaining lifespans.
Seeing the Crown Prince's conflicted expression, the Second Prince smiled happily. He had paid a high price to get his Sixth Uncle to help him. First, he had found rare and precious treasures that could prolong life, and second, he had promised him many things that he could not have obtained in the first place.
Everyone has a price to pay; if someone isn't willing, then the price isn't right.
At this point, verbal sparring was no longer effective, and the two sides entered into a fierce close-quarters battle.
It was even more brutal than what the Second Prince had experienced on the battlefield in his entire life; almost every breath resulted in the deaths of countless people.
However, neither player cared; they only cared about the final victory.
As the battle intensified, not only ordinary soldiers but also high-ranking officers began to die in action.
Left Guard General Ma Tian and a fierce general under the Second Prince perished together.
His cultivation level was clearly higher than the other party's, but unfortunately, he had been pampered in the capital for many years, which caused him to lose the fierce courage he had in his youth.
He thought he had relaxed after successfully killing his opponent, but he didn't expect that his opponent was using his life as bait, seizing the opportunity at that moment and delivering a fatal blow to his throat.
Martin clutched his throat, unable to speak, only spitting out blood, before finally collapsing to the ground with endless regret.
Weiwei Wuli fought a battle with an elephant tribe expert to a standstill, and it turned out that the elephant tribe had also been won over by the Second Prince.
The elephant tribe possesses immense strength and exceptional defense, so even though Uli was a renowned expert in the royal court, he was still severely injured after a battle.
Then the two accidentally fell into the chaos of battle. By this time, both sides were in a bloodthirsty frenzy, attacking each other with their weapons without distinguishing friend from foe, and hacking the two masters into mincemeat. Of course, the elephant tribe master was thick-skinned and lasted a little longer.
Unfortunately, when facing an army enhanced by formations, a single cultivator is still at a disadvantage. No matter how strong his defense is, he cannot withstand swords and blades from all directions, and he soon followed in Uli's footsteps.
At this moment, Wu Lao and Liu Shu in the sky were also locked in a fierce battle. Generally speaking, it is rare for grandmasters to fight to the death. Firstly, they are all strong and each has many trump cards, so it is not easy to determine a winner. Secondly, even if they win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. Therefore, they usually stop when they have a point.
But today was clearly different. Everyone showed no mercy when they attacked, even resorting to exchanging injuries for injuries. Soon, blood was everywhere. However, it was not easy to determine a winner between grandmasters, and it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand for the time being.
The Second Prince, who had remained motionless, said to Crown Prince Jinwu, "This is a matter between the two of us. Since no one else can determine the winner, and it won't be decided in a short time, why don't we settle it ourselves?"
Prince Jinwu frowned and surveyed the surroundings. The battle was indeed very intense, and it would probably not be decided until dawn.
At this moment, he regretted it a little. He should have brought Hu Qianxiao and Shi Zhentian with him. However, he was a little worried about the two of them at the time. They were too ambitious and there would be changes if they were kept by his side.
At the time, he was confident that his men were enough to deal with the Second Prince, but who knew that the Second Prince was so well prepared!
Moreover, his subordinates are full of experts!
Seeing that he did not answer, the Second Prince sneered, "Hahaha, you don't even dare to do this? Which of the demon emperors throughout history was not a towering and invincible powerhouse? How can there be such a coward as you?"
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Jinwu clearly felt the morale of his troops plummet. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to back down. He sneered, "Fine, since that's the case, I'll show you who is the number one person of this generation!"
Over the years, he has been recognized as the top of the five great talents among the younger generation, giving him an absolute psychological advantage over the Second Prince.
The Second Prince was equally assertive: "Hahaha, people only gave you face before because you were the Crown Prince. Did you really think you could be the head of the Five Greats?"
"Then let me show you!" Crown Prince Jinwu's face was filled with cold killing intent. You're not some monster like Zu'an, do you think I'm afraid of you?
As soon as he finished speaking, golden wings sprouted from his back, each feather a sword aura that swept directly toward the Second Prince.
"Well done!" The second prince neither dodged nor avoided, and a pair of black wings sprouted from his back, each feather a sharp sword, as he charged forward.
Golden and black sword energy intertwined in the sky, radiating dazzling brilliance.
Upon their first encounter, the Golden Crow Prince was shocked to find that the opponent's cultivation was in no way inferior to his own. Had he been hiding his true strength all these years?
How is that possible!
My own True Eye of the Sun can see through the true nature of anyone whose cultivation level is lower than mine. The other party's cultivation level is clearly much lower than mine!
As if guessing his doubts, the Second Prince pointed to a jade pendant at his waist: "I obtained this by chance in my early years. It can conceal my aura. Otherwise, do you really think I am inferior to you?" Crown Prince Jinwu's heart sank. He had an ominous premonition.
