It was truly an earth-shattering scene.
Originally, although the Demon Realm was constantly being devoured, it had also entered an extremely strange balance.
Now, this balance was destroyed.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian clearly felt a series of loud noises.
Then, the surrounding land crazily crowded and collided together.
Countless cracks were torn open, and countless pieces of land fiercely collided together.
In an instant, a powerful energy aura surged into the sky.
The entire Demon Realm, the world of ice and snow, and even the Yin-Yang Mirror underwent a shocking change.
But this wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the Skyreach Imperial Capital in the Empire of Darkness stopped rotating!
…
At this moment, Prince Li Ming was constantly attacking Zhu Hongxue's heart.
Suddenly, the entire Skyreach Imperial Capital shook.
Almost all of them were sent flying out.
Then, it was as if there was a power outage.
All the light in the Skyreach Imperial Capital was extinguished.
Almost at the same time, the light in the countless Dark Castles in the surrounding area was extinguished. The refining and fusion formations all stopped and lost their brilliance.
Then, a suffocating energy pressure spread.
There was originally no air in the Empire of Darkness.
It was the Skyreach Imperial Capital that continuously absorbed energy and mystic qi from the outside world to supply the entire Skyreach Imperial Capital.
As for the lights inside, they were all powered by crystals, and they all needed energy.
Not only that, but the surrounding temperature was also rapidly rising.
In short, everyone present felt an extremely frightening sense of discomfort.
Li Ming was shocked. He looked at the Devil Queen. Could it be that something had happened to the Empire of Darkness?
…
At this moment, Yang Dingtian only needed to confirm that he could use the spatial technique to isolate the energy conduction of the refractor and deal a fatal blow to the Empire of Darkness.
He immediately stopped the transmission of mystic qi.
Instantly, the dark vortex stopped, and the isolated space automatically disappeared.
Then, the refractor resumed its energy conduction.
The entire Skyreach Imperial Capital began to rotate again.
The entire Empire of Darkness regained its energy supply.
All the lights in the Skyreach Imperial Capital lit up, and all the Dark Castles recovered their energy.
The surrounding temperature once again dropped to a comfortable level.
As for Yang Dingtian, he used his fastest speed to return to Cloud Sky City.
He wanted to ensure that the Council of Light suffered a great loss this time, and then he would plan how to force the Evil ways to make concessions.
…
Seeing that the Skyreach Imperial Capital had returned to normal.
Prince Li Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
Perhaps this was just a normal procedure in the operation cycle of the Empire of Darkness.
Then, Prince Li Ming continued to take out the Recording Jade and recorded Zhu Hongxue's current situation.
"Zhu Hongxue, do you want to have a few words with your Sect Leader Yang Dingtian?" Prince Li Ming asked with a smile.
Zhu Hongxue closed his eyes and ignored him.
Prince Li Ming curled his lips into a smile, not caring at all.
After recording an image jade, he put it away.
Then, she said to the Devil Queen, "It's time to talk to Yang Dingtian and make a deal."
…
Yang Dingtian returned to Cloud Sky City as fast as he could and got the list of the Council of Light's losses in the past few days.
129 people, including two Great Masters, 11 Masters, 45 Martial Venerables, and the rest were all Martial Grandmasters.
Some people, half of them, were already dead because their heads were hanging on the Council of Light's castle.
Half of them were captured.
Two people were captured, and the three most important people were Zhu Hongxue, the Young Master of the Mystic Sky Sect, Chou Yiming, the Young Master of the Divine Weapons Villa, and Zhao Mu, the Master of the Horror Mountain Villa.
Although the losses were not very great, Yang Dingtian's heart still twitched with pain.
On the other hand, the entire Radiant Parliament was frowning.
Everyone in the Evil ways was hiding in the Empire of Darkness.
The Council of Light was completely helpless. The Evil ways that came out to hunt were all Martial Saints and peak Half-Saints. In addition, they had evil spirit energy, so they could not be killed. Moreover, they appeared and disappeared unpredictably, so the Council of Light was completely helpless.
In the long run, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Either the Council of Light would stop operating, and the entire human country would fall into chaos.
Or more and more of the Council of Light's backbone would be captured and hunted down.
It could be said that it was almost completely unsolvable.
Therefore, the moment Yang Dingtian landed in Cloud Sky City, almost all of the Council of Light's higher-ups rushed up and asked Yang Dingtian when he would attack the Empire of Darkness.
Yang Dingtian looked at everyone and saw that their expressions were filled with anger and anxiousness.
"Come in, let's have a meeting." Yang Dingtian walked into the castle.
…
"First of all, my attack on the Empire of Darkness has been successful. It's completely destructive," Yang Dingtian said.
When these words came out, everyone present was shocked!
The Empire of Darkness was so powerful and completely unsolvable, but he had actually succeeded in attacking it?
This, this was too unbelievable.
The Mermaid Queen Violets said, "How did you do it?"
Yang Dingtian said, "All of the Empire of Darkness's energy relies on the rotation of the Skyreach Imperial Capital to absorb a few pieces of land.
And I just happened to be able to interrupt its energy transmission, causing the entire Empire of Darkness to stagnate.
Once the energy supply is lost, the entire Empire of Darkness will completely collapse. "
When these words came out, everyone was overjoyed.
"Then there's no need to wait. Immediately destroy the Empire of Darkness and completely eliminate the Evil ways," many people said excitedly.
Yang Dingtian said, "And what we want to discuss is this matter. Should we destroy the Empire of Darkness?"
When these words came out, many people present fell into a state of shock.
The Empire of Darkness was the headquarters of the Evil ways. Of course, it had to be destroyed.
Without the Empire of Darkness, the Evil ways were like stray dogs with nowhere to hide.
Yang Dingtian said, "First of all, who is our main enemy?"
"Of course it's the Evil ways. It's the Temple of Annihilation," many people said.
Yang Dingtian said, "Yes, of course it's the Temple of Annihilation.
To be more specific, our enemies are The Demon King Wentian, Queen Devil Queen, Prince Li Ming, Princess Mu Dan, and the Evil Spirit Dishi Bian. To be more precise, it's all the Evil ways above the Half-Saint level.
As long as these people gather together, we can't kill or capture them.
Even if they leave the Empire of Darkness, we can't do anything.
The only ones we can capture and imprison in the energy prison are the Evil ways below the Half-Saint level.
But these people are no threat to us now because they are hiding in the Empire of Darkness. "
Qin Wanchou said, "That's right. Our weakness now is the entire Council of Light's mid-level and high-level martial artists. They can be hunted down by the Evil ways at any time.
Evil ways' weakness is the Evil Spirit Warriors below the Half-Saint level. As long as they appear, we can capture them at any time.
And if we destroy the Empire of Darkness, it won't have much impact on the higher-ups of the Evil ways. Even if we capture all the Half-Saint Evil Spirit Warriors, they will only lose their claws and teeth. Instead, they won't have any weaknesses. "
"Yes."
Yang Dingtian said, "Or to be more direct, as long as The Demon King Wentian, Queen Devil Queen are still around, destroying the Empire of Darkness is not worth the loss.
Moreover, the Empire of Darkness is almost no threat to us now. The Legion of Doom is finished, and so is the Undead Army. The Empire of Darkness no longer has any offensive attributes. It's just a nest. "
As soon as he said this, everyone present fell into silence.
In the end, Yang Dingtian said, "So, I feel that keeping the Empire of Darkness is more useful than destroying it."
Many people present nodded in agreement after thinking it through.
Yang Dingtian said, "We have dozens of captives in the hands of the Evil ways, including Zhu Hongxue, Chou Yiming, Zhao Mu, and the others.
In Prince Li Ming's eyes, Zhu Hongxue is not only the Black Sky Sect's young master, but also my sworn brother.
So, he will probably stop attacking and propose a trade with us.
This person is extremely greedy. If I'm not wrong, he will propose to use Zhu Hongxue alone in exchange for Dongli and all the Evil Spirit Warriors hostages. "
Everyone present nodded.
Although this trade was very unfair, Prince Li Ming would definitely do it.
Who asked Yang Dingtian to care more about his subordinates?
Justice was the motto of the just; despicableness was the passport of the despicable.
If Yang Dingtian did not have the ability to destroy the Empire of Darkness, then no matter how unfair this trade was, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
Who asked Yang Dingtian to really care about the lives of his subordinates?
Yang Dingtian said, "However, we now have the ability to destroy the Empire of Darkness.
So, not only do we have to let the Evil ways release all the hostages, but we also have to make them hand over Vulture and Wulingzi. "
After saying that, Yang Dingtian said to Qin Wanchou, "City Lord Qin, do you think this trade will succeed?"
Qin Wanchou thought for a while and shook his head. "I don't know if it will succeed. If it's the Queen Devil Queen, it definitely won't succeed.
Because this person is straightforward and cares about face.
If it's Prince Li Ming, this person is extremely cunning and is especially thorough about benefits, so he definitely won't do a losing deal.
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Moreover, destroying the Empire of Darkness was like using a nuclear weapon.
The greatest power of a nuclear weapon was that it stayed on the launcher.
Once it was launched, it would lose its power.
On Earth, almost all nuclear weapons had no chance to be used. It was just a deterrent.
At this moment, Jiao Liao came to report.
"Prince Li Ming has come to visit. He requests for a meeting with Sect Master Yang Dingtian!"
They came so quickly!
Everyone present said.
"How many of them came?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Three," Jiao Liao said.
"Okay, then the three of us will go and see him," Yang Dingtian said.
…
After a while, Yang Dingtian, Violets, and Naru, one Half-Sage, and two Saint-level experts, flew towards the north.
In the Land of Chaos, a thousand miles away from Cloud Sky City, a pavilion appeared.
Inside, there was a long table with three people sitting at it. Prince Li Ming, Queen Devil Queen, and Dishi Bian.
Yang Dingtian and the other two landed in the pavilion and sat opposite the Evil ways.
"I know that dozens of us have fallen into your hands. Among them are Zhu Hongxue, Chou Yiming, and Zhao Mu." Yang Dingtian said directly, "What do you want?
Speak! "
"Good, straightforward!"
Prince Li Ming clapped and laughed. "What we want is to release Dongli and all the Evil Warriors, and give up the door to the human kingdom."
As soon as he said this, Yang Dingtian and the other two's expressions changed.
