Ye Ling looked at Izanagi, whose body was enveloped in black energy, and chuckled, "My apologies, I've been a bit busy lately and couldn't attend to your matters."
"However, the time flow between the Immortal Realm and the mortal world is so different, you've only lived half an hour longer. It's not a big deal."
Izanagi sneered, "It seems Emperor you are very confident. Do you know how much this half an hour allows this seat to accomplish?"
Ye Ling replied indifferently, "At most, you'd find more reinforcements and set up more ambushes. What else could you do?"
From the very beginning, Ye Ling knew that the members of Takamagahara who attacked the Arashi tribe last time were merely Izanagi's pawns, meant to test his strength.
The true members of Takamagahara were the gods who possessed mortals.
Those gods were the culprits.
Ye Ling's public execution of those Takamagahara dissidents was a performance for the entire world, meant to showcase the Demon Palace's might and make major powers more inclined to submit to it and abide by its rules.
This time, Ye Ling facing Izanagi at the Ryubu base was truly to resolve Takamagahara.
Those gods who used mortals as tools for their desires should not exist in this world!
Of course, these matters didn't need to be revealed to the world.
Listening to Ye Ling's words, Izanagi scoffed, "Find more reinforcements, set up more ambushes... You speak so lightly. I don't know if you truly possess such confidence or if you're already irredeemably arrogant."
"Do you really think that by creating some Demon Palace in the mortal world, you've become invincible across the three realms and can do as you please?"
"In my opinion, your Demon Palace is no different from my Takamagahara. It's merely a game."
"Moreover, your Demon Palace is even more foolish than my Takamagahara!"
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Foolish? How so?"
Izanagi sneered, "Are you truly foolish or just pretending? The various countries in the mortal world are already subordinate territories of the major divine kingdoms in the Immortal Realm. Your Demon Palace meddling with the entire world is provoking all the high gods of the Immortal Realm. Even if I didn't act, you would eventually die at the hands of other Saints!"
"However, seeing your foolishness, I've decided to be merciful and enlighten you here, crushing your Demon Palace in its cradle before it can grow."
"This way, you won't have to suffer such tragic fates."
Ye Ling replied, "Then I truly thank you."
The current Immortal Realm was said to be divided and ruled by various divine kingdoms, but in reality, most of the divine kingdoms had become playthings of the Shadow Hall.
Ye Ling himself was already planning to deal with the Shadow Hall, which meant Ye Ling would sooner or later become an enemy of the gods in the Immortal Realm.
Ye Ling established the Demon Palace to maintain stability in the mortal world, preventing it from falling into the hands of the Shadow Hall like the Immortal Realm.
Ye Ling had been aware of the potential dangers Izanagi spoke of from the very beginning, and he hadn't cared about them.
Seeing Ye Ling's indifferent expression, a hint of amusement flashed in Izanagi's eyes, as if he were looking at an idiot.
Ignorance breeds fearlessness.
However, Izanagi wasn't here to persuade Ye Ling. He didn't dwell on unimportant matters and said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, let's get down to business. My time is precious, and I have no time to bicker with you."
Ye Ling smiled, "Coincidentally, my time is also precious."
With that, Ye Ling looked at Huang Hun beside him and said, "Huang Hun, it's your turn."
"Me, me go?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Huang Hun snapped back to reality, looking at Ye Ling in shock, thinking he had misheard.
After Izanagi descended, he had been rendered immobile by Izanagi's pressure. He didn't even have the courage to look directly at Izanagi, let alone fight him.
Ye Ling said, "I told you I wanted you to personally avenge your enemy. The main culprit is right in front of you, and you're afraid now?"
"But, but I..."
Huang Hun was uncertain...
Although he hated Izanagi to the core, wishing he could tear him apart, his current fear had overshadowed his hatred. He didn't dare to make a move against Izanagi!
He wondered what the meaning of his past actions was.
Izanagi, seeing that Ye Ling intended to have a vengeful spirit deal with him, showed a flicker of displeasure in his eyes and said coldly, "Ye Ling, there's a limit to looking down on people. You and I are both Saints. You should know that below Saints, all are ants. Why are you letting a vengeful spirit get involved?"
In Izanagi's view, Ye Ling's actions were a deliberate attempt to provoke him, and he wouldn't easily fall for such a clumsy trick!
However, Ye Ling ignored Izanagi and said to Huang Hun, "Have you forgotten the power I left within you? As long as you believe in that power, you can achieve your revenge."
"The Emperor's power?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Huang Hun suddenly awoke, remembering the power Ye Ling had given him!
After all the members of Takamagahara were annihilated, Huang Hun's resentment would dissipate, and he had almost forgotten the power Ye Ling had bestowed upon him.
"But can that power really..."
Huang Hun still had doubts, but he suddenly recalled everything Ye Ling had given him. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became resolute.
The fear in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he respectfully bowed to Ye Ling, saying gratefully, "Emperor, on behalf of countless wronged souls, I thank you for everything you have done."
"I will not fail your expectations."
With that, Huang Hun turned to face Izanagi and broke the seal within his body.
Demonic energy swirled around Huang Hun's body, his form gradually becoming ethereal, transforming back into resentment.
Izanagi, seeing that Huang Hun was serious, was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Ye Ling, you are truly irredeemably foolish! This vengeful spirit is also daydreaming!"
"I remember now. This vengeful spirit is one of the souls who died tragically at the hands of the gods. No wonder he hates me so much! But so what? I am a Saint. No matter how much hatred you lowly ants harbor, you cannot harm me in the slightest!"
"Despair, fool!"
"You bastard..." Huang Hun stared intently at Izanagi, his eyes turning blood red, filled with infinite hatred.
He must die!
Ye Ling's power surged through his entire body, making him feel an endless amount of strength!
Huang Hun had a premonition that he could kill Izanagi!
Ye Ling looked at Huang Hun's retreating back and said softly, "Go."
"Yes!!!"
Huang Hun responded, and his entire being transformed into a black streak, charging towards Izanagi in the sky!
The black streak tore through space and pierced the heavens!
Izanagi, seeing Huang Hun charge towards him, grinned and laughed. Black energy materialized in his palm, and a cruel glint flashed in his eyes. "Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!!!"
Izanagi struck at the charging Huang Hun with his palm, ignoring the demonic energy surrounding Huang Hun.
The might of a Saint erupted completely!
Boom!
The two powerful energies exploded in the air, shattering space.
"Die! You bastard!!!" Huang Hun roared, his entire being transforming into demonic energy, completely engulfing Izanagi.
Izanagi, entangled by the demonic energy, immediately felt something was wrong. The smile on his face quickly turned to fear, his expression contorted, and he exclaimed in shock, "No, no... Susanoo, save me!!!"
"No, don't... Ahhhhhh!"
Izanagi's screams echoed in the air, gradually fading away.
Ye Ling watched the dissipating black mass in the sky, a slight smile on his lips, "It seems it was a one-hit kill."
