Donghuang Taiyi was already at the end of his rope. Su Chen knew she'd done her best. After all, she'd been asleep for who knew how many years and had just woken up. She'd probably paid a heavy price to be able to stall for so long against the Madman, who was on par with the Flame Emperor.
"Three-eyed divinity …"
Su Chen was just about to ask the White Crane Immortal King for help, but when he looked again, the white crane had disappeared without a trace.
Damn, an Immortal King? She ran too fast.
Su Chen couldn't help but gulp. Seeing the furious Madman about to close in, he could only madly urge the laws of time to slow down the flow of time in the outside world. At the same time, he desperately urged the Demon Emperor's Scepter to gulp down Sui Li's vitality.
"Ding, congratulations on activating the Demon Emperor's Scepter and successfully opening the Yao Heavenly Court. Would you like to be teleported in?"
Su Chen's face lit up. How could he hesitate? Just before the Madman arrived, he dragged the half-unconscious Donghuang Taiyi and teleported into the Yao Heavenly Court.
The Madman missed. Seeing Sui Li's vitality completely depleted, he couldn't help but roar at the sky.
Jade Lake Palace.
Yao Guang slowly opened her eyes and looked to the west. "Su Chen … Not bad," she murmured. "I didn't think he'd be able to complete the mission and kill Sui Li right under the Madman's nose. With Sui Li dead, the Soul Suppressor tribe is no longer a concern … It's a pity we lost a good seedling … Then, the next step is to revive the Flame Emperor and restart the Heavenly Court. The invasion of the Land of Ashes has intensified. Only the Flame Emperor can lead us through this crisis."
Lingxiao Palace.
The core of the Heavenly Court.
Dong Hua Immortal Lord slowly walked over, her eyes filled with reminiscence.
She suddenly said, "Fellow Daoists, the path of choice is before you. How will you choose? Will you sacrifice yourself to the ashes, or … fight to the death?"
Outside the Northern Heaven's Gate, wind and snow intersected. Gray snowflakes seemed to cover the entire world in a layer of haze.
A crane as white as snow was walking slowly in the wind and snow.
At the end of the wind and snow, the flow of time began to become blurred. Every step the white crane took seemed to take several centuries, but it also seemed to take only a moment.
This was a place completely cut off from the rest of the world. Its name was Time Realm.
"Master Candle Dragon, as you expected, Su Chen does contain a wisp of karma from a high-level world. That's why I helped him improve the power of the rules of time and stopped Kuangtu's attack."
The white crane slowly raised its head and transformed into a beautiful woman in a pure-white feather robe. She piously looked up at the endless sky.
Suddenly, a pair of huge crimson eyes appeared in the sky.
"Very good, the Time Realm has endured for so many years, and it's finally time to reappear in front of the world. Let's start preparing for the Fallen Immortal Ceremony. The Celestial World has been quiet for so many years, it's time to liven things up …"
On the other side.
When Su Chen opened his eyes, all he saw was a vast expanse of white.
So big, so white.
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then, he noticed that the unconscious Donghuang Taiyi was on top of him.
Su Chen pushed Donghuang Taiyi away and stood up while holding his head. He saw that he was on top of a spiral-shaped emerald green mountain peak. An incomparably fresh aura of nature blew up along the ridge of the mountain, and Su Chen couldn't help but feel refreshed.
As far as the eye could see, this was a world full of vitality. What entered the eyes was a delightful emerald green scenery, and one could even sense countless living beings rejoicing under this green, as if they were celebrating their rebirth.
Su Chen hurriedly shook Donghuang Taiyi. Seeing that there was no response, he simply stuffed a large handful of immortal pills into her mouth.
After a while, Donghuang Taiyi gradually regained consciousness.
"Success."
Seeing the scene in front of her, Donghuang Taiyi knew that Su Chen had successfully opened the Demon Race's Heavenly Court. This was because she had created everything here with her own hands. This was her home, and she couldn't be more familiar with this place.
"I know that this is the Demon Race's Heavenly Court, but why are there so many living beings here?" Su Chen asked.
Donghuang Taiyi stood up and took a deep breath of the sweet air. "Back then, when the Demon Race's Heavenly Court was sealed, I asked the Candle Dragon to help me freeze the time here. You've just reopened the Demon Race's Heavenly Court, so the time here has been restored. Everything you see here is still the same as before, and nothing has changed."
"There's such a remarkable ability?"
Su Chen was amazed. The laws of time must have been maxed out.
The Candle Dragon … there were indeed many experts among the Ancestral Shamans.
At this moment, a gust of wind flew over from the horizon.
It was a group of winged birdmen. They looked like Lei Zhenzi, and they had eagle heads and human bodies. They held various weapons in their hands, and there were more than five hundred of them. They formed a black mass and quickly surrounded the mountain peak.
"Stop."
A woman wearing a long dress made of flowers walked out from the group of birdmen. When she saw Donghuang Taiyi, she showed an expression of disbelief and said, "Master, why are you back so soon?
Is the battle over? "
"Flower Mushroom …"
Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but pounce on the girl who looked like a flower demon and hug her.
The flower demon was shocked. As her master's maid, she had served the Demon Emperor for many years, but this was the first time she felt the warmth of her master's embrace. For a moment, the flower demon was stunned.
If it weren't for the large group of birdmen foolishly serving as the background, it would be quite pleasing to the eye.
However, Su Chen wasn't in the mood to care about this. Since he had come to the Demon Race's Heavenly Court, the first thing he had to do was to collect the last piece of the system source code.
With the last piece of the system source code, the system could be upgraded, and his breakthrough limit would be lifted. He could then break through to the Saint King Realm.
No, with Su Chen's current strength, he could directly cross the Saint King Realm and break through the tribulation of the Great Emperor!
It wouldn't be difficult for him to become an immortal right away.
"Dian Dian, have you found the source code's coordinates?"
"The source code's fluctuations have been detected. It's under the host's feet."
Under his feet?
There was a spiral mountain that was tens of thousands of meters tall below, and the source code was hidden in this mountain.
"Master, who is this young master?" Flower Mushroom suddenly noticed Su Chen's existence and looked at him in confusion.
Donghuang Taiyi let go of Flower Mushroom and introduced, "Su Chen, the new Demon Emperor of the Demon Race's Heavenly Court."
"What?"
Flower Mushroom was shocked and quickly bowed. "Servant Flower Mushroom of the Heavenly Fragrance Stamen greets Lord Demon Emperor!"
