Hou Ying? The Cangmao tribe?
The old fellows being pursued by Seadon were shocked. The Cangmao tribe was, after all, one of the demon races in the Titas world. Had he also allied with these foreign races?
Indeed, after Seadon's frantic threats, another figure slowly appeared in the sky. A figure in white fluttered with the energy storm, its elegant appearance out of place in the bloody, chaotic battlefield.
On the other side, Bai Ye, who was fighting fiercely with Old Man Bai, was not very surprised to see Hou Ying again. He had long suspected this guy had also come, which was why he had let Hei Wu go slaughter the half-demon race.
It wasn't that he was heartless. Although the half-demons had been subdued by Seadon and were now on the same side as them, they were still a demon race and, within the passage world, were a race in themselves. Such a powerful race was not a good thing for Blue Star. Letting them weaken themselves through internal conflict was the best outcome for humanity.
"The targets haven't even arrived yet, what's the rush?" Hei Wu, who was attacking the half-demons, became instantly vigilant upon seeing Hou Ying appear.
"To think that the dignified Manjushaka's clone would attack these low-level demons, it's quite beneath you," Hou Ying said with a smile, elegantly raising his hand. Instantly, a storm roared.
The curse objects that had been falling all over the sky immediately drifted back in the opposite direction and disappeared into the high heavens.
Below, all the half-demons were astonished. They had indeed used their magic to resist, but these curse objects were mysterious and terrifying, passing directly through their defenses.
They hadn't expected Hou Ying to resolve their crisis with such casual effort. This was another supreme being at the peak!
"Kill!"
"Avenge our fallen brothers, kill them all!" The remaining half-demons and the army of the Rex Empire, seeing another supreme expert arrive, saw their previous fear turn into killing intent, and they once again launched an attack on the demon race and the elf race.
"Hou Ying, you've finally arrived!" Hei Wu chuckled sinisterly, "We were just missing you."
"Long time no see," Hou Ying replied politely, and then shouted:
"Bai Ye! Once upon a time, I also had a grandfather like that old man who raised me from childhood. However, just as I broke through to the Emperor level, he tried to kill me. I was just a step away from death."
"Like that guy, he was also a clone of Manjushaka. However, I sent him on his way later."
"You are luckier than me. For some reason, this guy hasn't attacked you! However, don't count on your luck. They are Manjushaka's clones, and his goal is to seize our power."
"Only one of us can survive between him and us. That's for sure."
"I hope you can send him on his way before I kill this clone. Otherwise, before that guy arrived, Seadon and I would have had to act personally."
Bai Ye did not respond, nor did he speak. He simply unleashed his magic with even greater power.
"Foolish demon race, you believe Manjushaka's rumors, thinking that by killing our Cangmao tribe, you can break through this world's limits."
"The Cangmao tribe. There is no Cangmao tribe..." A rare hint of anger appeared in Hou Ying's elegant smile, accumulated over countless ages.
"If I die, this world will also fall silent, and the beings of this world will lose all their intelligence with the world's annihilation, returning to their animal instincts."
"Wake up, my people!" Hou Ying put away his anger, his face once again showing an elegant smile. At this moment, he became incomparably sacred.
Below, the demon race, who were fighting the half-demon army, suddenly stopped fighting. The half-demons, not understanding the situation, also ceased their attacks.
At this moment, the stunned demons had countless scenes flashing through their minds. They were the origin and development of the Titas world, from the birth of the first life to the present...
"I didn't expect that the first race to be born in this world was the elf race... Is that the ancestor of the elves?"
"The World Stone, the will of the world, I didn't expect this world to have life..."
"Is all our energy derived from the World Stone?"
"When the World Stone withers, all beings marked by the world will also die... Ah... Why is this happening?"
"The Cangmao tribe... So it was all him?"
"Lord Hou Ying is the guardian of our world..."
"Damn elves, for their own selfish gain, they want to destroy the entire world!!!"
...
Gradually, some of the demon race began to awaken. In the eyes of those who awoke, the killing intent was gone, replaced by guilt.
"Hmph! Spreading lies to sow discord!" Seeing that Hou Ying was about to subdue all the demons, Hei Wu immediately attacked Hou Ying. The sky was covered with black mist, filled with ill omens.
Hou Ying waved his slender hand, and a storm blew up. Hei Wu's pervasive black smoke could not approach at all. Hei Wu's energy erupted, and this black mist instantly spread towards the battlefield below.
The demons, half-demons, and all the elves changed their expressions. No one had expected Hei Wu to be so malicious as to not spare his own people.
Hou Ying's gaze sharpened. Both the elves and the demons were his people. He was angry at the rebellious elves, but only he could punish them.
Whoosh!!
A terrifying energy erupted from Hou Ying. Crimson flames enveloped the entire sky, instantly devouring all the black mist.
This was the first time Hou Ying had unleashed his wind element powers, and the might was equally terrifying.
Bai Ye noticed that at this moment, being already invincible, when he faced Hou Ying again, he still felt like they were evenly matched. Perhaps this feeling was the most accurate.
"You are the most insidious and cunning of Manjushaka's three clones. No wonder you were able to kill the guardian of the Sophita world so smoothly," Hou Ying's eyes narrowed with unspoken anger.
"You cannot be allowed to live!"
"Time, stop!"
A strange power covered the entire land. At this moment, all the demons, the entire world, came to a standstill.
Billions of demons, the entire Rex Empire, Seadon in pursuit, the pursued supreme beings of the demon race, Bai Ye and Old Man Bai locked in a fierce battle, everything stopped at this point.
Such terrifying power. Bai Ye felt his body lose control, his thoughts rapidly fading, as if drowsiness was setting in, gradually entering a dreamless state.
For the first time, Bai Ye felt such immense pressure. Before he completely lost consciousness, Bai Ye unleashed all the power within him.
Boom! It seemed as if each power was unlocked and broken free, and Bai Ye regained his freedom. But in an instant, the same shackles enveloped him again.
"Nebula Plane!" Without hesitation, Bai Ye used his spatial power. At this moment, only spatial power at the same level as time power could be used.
With a loud boom, time and space forces clashed, and a large area of space turned into the void. In this fleeting moment, Bai Ye pulled Old Man Bai into another dimension.
"As expected," Hou Ying glanced at Bai Ye and said lightly. He then looked to the other side, where Seadon's mysterious power erupted, and he also regained his freedom.
"You hypocritical, sinister bastard," Seadon cursed, then raised his sword and killed all the fleeing five-star emperors. He then stood by with his sword in hand, observing.
"Oh?" Hou Ying looked at Hei Wu, surprised to see a large amount of black energy emanating from his body, and that he was starting to move.
Hou Ying flipped his palm, conjuring a ball of flame, and elegantly threw it onto Hei Wu.
"Ah—ah!!!" Hei Wu's body twitched erratically. The stillness of time made his death throes stutter, like a poorly rendered television show.
"Don't, don't think, you, you've won! Your war, it, it has only just begun..."
Whoosh!!!
Hei Wu was finally burned to death by Hou Ying. But after his death, all his demonic power condensed into a black smoke, which directly broke through the shackles of time and rushed into the distance.
Seadon, who was guarding a flank, did not intervene but murmured softly:
"It's finally coming."
