"Alright, alright, I get it," Chen Fan said helplessly.
Bawang and Kuangdi were indeed going too far.
Of course, Old Demon Chu hadn't held back when he snatched those two.
No one was better than the other; they were all birds of a feather.
Seeing that the City Lord had agreed, Old Demon Chu became ecstatic.
"Thank you, City Lord, hahaha," he was happy.
When Old Demon Chu was happy, he would release his aura.
Demonic flames ignited.
Boom.
Ahead, a tremendous thunderclap suddenly rang out.
A figure resembling a thunder god strode forth: "A cultivator from the Demon Realm? Daring to run rampant in the south, are you challenging the majesty of the Yin-Yang Dao Lord?"
Old Demon Chu was annoyed.
Seventh tier.
He was actually being reprimanded.
He was very unhappy.
Old Demon Chu immediately sneered in response, "What are you, to dare reprimand me? Believe it or not, I'll immediately inform the Demon Lord, and we'll flatten your south. What Yin-Yang Realm is nothing but a clay chicken and pottery dog in the Demon Lord's eyes."
Well, this was Chen Fan's influence.
Shifting the blame.
Something he had just learned.
Chen Fan had just caused a big trouble for the wandering warrior Ge Ye, and then Old Demon Chu learned from him, starting to tarnish the Demon Realm's reputation.
Heh, the Demon Lord was tall, he should be able to handle it.
As for whether he would face any consequences, that was no longer within Old Demon Chu's considerations.
"Insolent!"
The thunderous powerhouse roared, "Your Demon Realm has just suffered a blow, unable to even conquer the small Five Realms Alliance. How dare you be so arrogant and still provoke the Yin-Yang Dao Lord? This is a path to death."
"Tch."
Old Demon Chu curled his lips; "If you have the ability, go and roar at my Demon Lord. Why are you acting tough with a sixth-tier like me?"
"Very well, very well, very well."
The thunder-god-like figure, enraged, laughed coldly, "I hope you don't regret this."
With that, the man transmitted a message.
"Kill."
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly spoke.
Buzz.
Above the man's head, it suddenly split open.
A vast, immeasurable rift of chaos, like a colossal blade, directly severed the man.
Effortlessly.
The seventh-tier Emperor, who had been shouting like a thunder god, didn't even have time to react.
"Old Demon Chu."
Chen Fan's face broke into a smile, "Since you've already drawn trouble for the Thunder Lord, let's go all the way. Leave some demonic energy here, and let's... make a hasty retreat."
"Hahaha."
Chen Fan and Old Demon Chu exchanged smiles.
Old Demon Chu left a large amount of demonic energy at the spot and turned, laughing as he fled.
As for the seventh-tier Emperor's corpse, they naturally took it with them.
They were all treasures, after all, not to be wasted.
The Five Elements Thunder Realm.
The strongest realm under the Yin-Yang Realm.
Five eighth-tier Emperors wielded the five elements' divine thunder, jointly ruling this realm.
In the entire south, aside from the Yin-Yang Dao Lord, no one could match their combined might. Even they had been forcefully subdued by the Yin-Yang Dao Lord in the past.
It couldn't be helped; the Yin-Yang Dao Lord was too powerful.
Suddenly…
Boom.
Within the Five Elements Thunder Realm, a great mountain suddenly exploded.
"Inspector?"
Gaze after gaze turned towards the shattered celestial mountain.
That was the Dao Mountain of the inspector for this realm, responsible for surveying the surrounding conditions of the Five Elements Thunder Realm.
The current destruction of the celestial mountain proved that the inspector was dead.
"Hmph."
An eighth-tier Emperor soared into the sky and emerged from the Five Elements Thunder Realm.
The Five Elements Thunder Realm was not just comprised of five cultivators.
Under the Realm Lord, there were several other eighth-tier powerhouses.
The one who emerged at this moment was one of them.
A seventh-tier inspector was dead, indicating they had encountered a formidable enemy. Now, only an eighth-tier could handle this.
Rumble.
Dark Thunder rapidly carved through the chaos.
Three days later, they arrived at the place where the inspector had died.
As soon as he arrived, Emperor Dark Thunder detected a dense demonic aura.
"Demon Realm?"
Emperor Dark Thunder's expression turned grim.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a figure appeared.
This person was the fallen powerhouse from the Five Elements Thunder Realm.
Bang.
The fallen individual knelt down with a mournful cry, "Emperor Dark Thunder."
"Enough with the pleasantries."
Emperor Dark Thunder frowned, "Reversing time once consumes the most. Quickly tell me, what happened?"
The other party quickly stated, "It was the Demon Realm. A strong cultivator from the Demon Realm came, five of them in total. I happened to encounter them. I originally intended to warn them, to tell them not to cause trouble in the south."
"But who would have thought they would dare insult the Dao Lord, saying the Dao Lord was nothing special? I was very angry and prepared to argue with them."
"Who could have imagined that a hidden eighth-tier powerhouse was among them, who directly launched a sneak attack and killed me."
The man recounted the events rapidly.
Emperor Dark Thunder's brow furrowed deeply, "Did they admit their identity themselves?"
"Yes."
"..."
Emperor Dark Thunder remained silent for a long time.
Opposite him, the ethereal form of the fallen man was rapidly dissipating.
The man's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he pleaded with Emperor Dark Thunder, "I beg Emperor Dark Thunder to uphold justice for your subordinate."
He knew he was doomed.
Emperor Dark Thunder could temporarily reverse time because his cultivation had touched upon the obscure Dao of Time.
However, Emperor Dark Thunder had no ability to resurrect.
His outcome was already sealed.
"Rest assured."
Emperor Dark Thunder said solemnly, "No one can insult my Five Elements Thunder Realm. I will definitely avenge you."
The man knelt with all his might.
Finally, the ethereal form completely dispersed.
Emperor Dark Thunder's brow furrowed again, "Demon Realm? Is it really you?"
He had already received news of the events in the East.
Both sides had suffered heavy losses in the war between the Demon Realm and the Five Realms Alliance.
Did the Demon Realm… still have the energy to send people to cause trouble in the South?
He was somewhat disbelieving.
Could it be someone impersonating them?
It was not impossible.
In the East, there were not a few demonic path wandering warriors.
But… did it matter?
A cold smile flickered in Dark Thunder's eyes, "Whether you are a powerhouse from the Demon Realm or not, you have given my Five Elements Thunder Realm a very good reason. The East… heh, I can go now."
A month ago, the Five Elements Thunder Realm had wanted to march east.
But because the Dao Lord had not spoken, there had been no action.
Now, there was finally a reason.
"The East."
Emperor Dark Thunder licked his lips, "How much of your combat strength remains?"
Buzz.
Emperor Dark Thunder's figure slowly faded.
He was going back to report.
The southern realms could now march east.
The Yin-Yang Dao Lord was at his prime, his combat power boundless. Under the unity of Yin and Yang, he dared to fight even a ninth-tier. He could be considered the second most powerful being in the Tenth Earth.
With such strength, why not strive for first place?
The news quickly reached the Five Elements Thunder Realm, and then the five Realm Lords went to pay their respects to the Dao Lord.
About fifteen minutes later.
Boom.
The Five Elements Thunder Realm, the Angel Realm, the Azure Sea Realm… a total of ten eighth-tier great worlds, with twenty-seven eighth-tier Emperors, began dispatching troops to the East.
This was a pre-planned invasion.
The East had no overlord and was now in chaos.
If not now, then when?
At the same time.
The Great Light Domain in the West also dispatched an army, en route to the East.
The North…
"Are we going there?" a child-like girl asked, looking at the Dragon King before her.
The girl's face was pale, and she was clearly still injured.
