He slowly reached out his hand and steadily took the mysterious shell. Instantly, a strong bloodline surged, and the power of the false god seemed to be awakened, flowing out consciously, tightly wrapping the shell.
Yu Kai closed his eyes, carefully feeling the flow of this power. After a moment, he opened them, a flash of enlightenment in his eyes: "This pseudo-god power is actually refining it on its own. It seems that there really is some special connection between us." He sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to carefully comprehend this power.
The Demon Emperor turned his gaze to Xuan'er and, with a gentle wave of his hand, a glowing demon pill slowly emerged from his palm. "This is my demon pill. I know you have an extremely powerful alchemy furnace. Use it to refine this demon pill. It will help you quickly break through and take up the banner of the vast immortal realm." He spoke firmly, his eyes filled with hope for Xuan'er.
"I, I can't do it!" Xuan'er kept waving her hands, her eyes filled with fear. She stepped back slightly, not daring to take the demon pill. "I really can't do it. You should give it to Yu Kai! He will definitely be able to do it!"
"How do you know you can't do it if you don't try?" The remnant soul of the Demon Emperor smiled slightly, with a hint of gentle encouragement in his tone.
"After he absorbs this mysterious shell, he will leave. He doesn't belong here." The Demon Emperor said lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"What, he can go back after refining it?" Xuan'er's gaze fell on Yu Kai, who was wrapped in the power of the pseudo-god. The mysterious patterns on the remaining shell were slowly disappearing, but Yu Kai's aura became stronger and stronger, as if his strength increased with every point of refining.
"Can't you bear to leave him?" The remnant soul of the Demon Emperor looked at the depressed Xuan'er and asked softly.
"No, it's just that we haven't known each other for long and he's leaving again. I feel a little reluctant." Xuan'er's gaze fell on Yu Kai.
"He came here with a mission. Before he leaves, he'll help us resolve this crisis in the vast Immortal Realm. And the road ahead will still require your guidance." The Demon Emperor's remnant soul spoke with a hint of resignation. The future of such a vast Immortal Realm now rested on this young woman, a profound injustice.
"Can I do it?" Xuan'er raised her head and looked at the Demon Emperor, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
"Yes, because you are the Dan Emperor!" The remnant soul of the Demon Emperor looked at her with a firm and deep gaze, as if it could penetrate her soul and give her endless power.
"Dan Emperor!" Xuan'er looked at Yu Kai, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "I am the Dan Emperor. Am I the Dan Emperor he praised?"
"We don't have much time left, the Four Emperors have already set out! They can't stop us!" The remnant soul of the Demon Emperor really couldn't bear to urge her, but he had to do so.
"Senior, what should I do?" Xuan'er took out the Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace, her voice trembling slightly.
"Use the alchemy furnace to refine it into your body and slowly absorb it." The voice of the Demon Emperor's remnant soul was low and powerful.
"What about you?" Xuan'er looked at the Demon Emperor who had lost his mysterious shell and was about to lose his demon pill, her eyes full of worry.
"I died 1,000 years ago, and I can't refine this demon pill again. Before you grow up, I can use my identity to restrain the enemy, giving you enough time to grow." There was a hint of determination in the voice of the Demon Emperor's remnant soul.
"Why haven't the ancient descendants come here for so many years? They just leave you alone?" Xuan'er asked her confusion.
"That's because the Four Emperors dared not report it for fear of being punished! Although they are omnipotent in the vast fairyland, they are not even as good as dogs in front of the ancient descendants! Puppets like them who are at the peak of the emperor level can be easily cultivated by the ancient descendants." There was a hint of sarcasm in the voice of the remnant soul of the Demon Emperor.
As he spoke, the lid of the alchemy furnace slowly opened, and the Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace instantly expanded, and the Demon Pill was placed inside by the Demon Emperor. Seeing this, Xuan'er no longer hesitated and flew over, sitting cross-legged above the alchemy furnace.
"This is a demon pill capable of peak Great Emperor strength! Where did you get it, girl?" The Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace was startled and instantly revived. It saw Yu Kai standing beside it, then looked at the Demon Emperor's remaining soul, "Could this demon pill be yours? Are you going to refine yourself?"
"That's right, I want to help her grow quickly!" The voice of the Demon Emperor's remnant soul was firm and resolute.
"Then you will lose your support, your soul will be scattered, and you won't even have the chance to reincarnate!" Danlu looked at the remaining soul of the Demon Emperor, with a hint of shock in his voice.
The Demon Emperor's remnant soul remained silent, instead controlling it to release its elixir fire and begin tempering it. Xuan'er's heart was filled with grief, tears streaming unconsciously. The greatest benefactor of the Vast Immortal Realm, in order to save the Vast Immortal Realm, was to face a fate of utter destruction. She felt sorry for him, but she had no other options.
As the elixir fire refined the essence, the demon elixir slowly flowed toward Xuan'er, and the Demon Emperor's residual soul became increasingly illusory. "The vast immortal realm is now in your hands!" His residual soul slowly dissipated at this moment.
"Senior!" Xuan'er's tears couldn't stop falling, and her voice was filled with endless sorrow.
"Alas... girl! I don't know why this Demon Emperor wants to help you and hand over the vast fairyland to you, but I hope you can cheer up. Every generation of emperors is burdened with the destiny of saving the vast fairyland! In the future, I will tutor you seriously and let you become an outstanding Dan Emperor." The Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace seemed to have made a big decision. It decided to help this stupid girl whom it once looked down upon but had firm beliefs.
"I understand!" Xuan'er closed her eyes and focused on absorbing the demon pill. A green bamboo figure appeared above her head, and her strength increased rapidly, as if every time she absorbed more energy, her strength increased by a point.
At the same time, Yu Kai broke through to the high stage of Celestial Venerable, and a surge of Pseudo-God power surged within him. Previously, it had only flowed into his control when he was extremely angry, but this time, it unexpectedly surged into him on its own initiative. As he refined it, he finally understood its true nature. It turned out to be the shell that encased the Pseudo-God Seed. When the Pseudo-God Seed escaped the ancient relic's royal city, it had broken free from its shell to evade the pursuit of the True God and the ancient relic. This tiny fragment was the one that flew away upon its escape, while the larger piece was lost in the endless void. Yu Kai believed that if he could fully refine this small fragment, it would be enough for him to enter the Emperor Realm. If he could find the remaining part, he wondered how powerful he would become.
"It seems that if I have a chance, whether it is to find my mother or to look for the remaining shell, I must go to the endless void!" Yu Kai swore secretly in his heart.
Yu Kai also noticed Xuan'er's anomaly. "Are you trying to continue the legacy of the Demon Emperor and Emperor Ying Tian? But transforming into a demon like this..." He felt a little choked up. The generations of people in the Vast Immortal Realm had suffered too much. If the Green Bamboo Demon Emperor ignored the Vast Immortal Realm, how far would his cultivation have progressed?
"Alas..." Yu Kai sighed, calming down once more to continue refining. He intended to merge his own laws with the power of the false god, striving to break through the Emperor Realm as soon as possible and help the vast immortal realm fight against the Four Emperors.
Meanwhile, the five major battlefields were littered with corpses and blood. Facing the armies of the Four Emperors, even with the support of War King Nie Wuhen, Tang Pingcheng, Zhong Xitian, and their numerous demons, the Shengying Dynasty was still no match.
War King Nie Wuhen wielded his spear, each strike laced with murderous intent, yet he could only barely hold off the enemy's assault. Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian each unleashed their own magical powers, attempting to turn the tide of battle. However, the armies of the Four Emperors surged forward like a seemingly endless tide. The soldiers of the Shengying Dynasty fought desperately, their blood staining the ground red, but the situation remained precarious.
