The Great Demonic Star Cluster.
After going through a series of heart-wrenching experiences, Foo finally returned to the Demon Palace. Looking at the familiar buildings and breathing in the familiar space, Foo's eyes even brimmed with tears.
The Demon King slowly walked over from afar. He looked at Foo, who was so thin that he was only skin and bones, and said in a deep voice, "Previously, you suddenly told me that you didn't need my help and asked me to return to the Demon Palace to wait for you. I thought that you had successfully escaped Qinchuan's pursuit, but it seems like that wasn't the case."
Hearing the Demon King's words, Foo said in an extremely low voice, "I did escape Qinchuan's pursuit, but I also used the power that the Demon Emperor bestowed upon me."
The Demon King frowned slightly and asked, "Is Qinchuan really that powerful?"
The Demon King had always been skeptical about Qinchuan's strength. After all, he had never seen Qinchuan transcend the Immortal Tribulation with his own eyes, so he didn't understand Qinchuan's current strength.
However, although the Demon King didn't understand Qinchuan's current strength, he knew very well how terrifying the power that the Demon Emperor bestowed upon Foo was. Although it was only one attack, it was enough to instantly kill any Tribulation Passing Stage expert!
Tribulation Passing Stage experts were known as supreme existences, but in front of a supreme existence, they were just ants!
"Qinchuan is very strong!"
Even now, when he recalled the scene of Qinchuan transcending the Immortal Tribulation, Foo still felt frightened. He had never seen such a terrifying Immortal Tribulation before!
Seeing Foo's lingering fear, the Demon King comforted him, "It's fine. He's already dead. You don't have to think about it anymore."
Foo shook his head and said, "No, he's not dead."
The Demon King was stunned and said, "Didn't you already use the power that the Demon Emperor bestowed upon you?
How can Qinchuan not die? "
That was an attack from the Demon Emperor, an attack from a supreme existence. As a Tribulation Passing Stage expert, how could Qinchuan not die?!
However, Foo firmly shook his head and said, "I don't think he will die. He won't die so easily."
Hearing Furo's words, the Demon King frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Frau nodded and replied, "Qinchuan is really too strong. Fedetik and Guru have already died in Qinchuan's hands. If I didn't have the power bestowed upon me by the Demon Emperor, I would have died as well. The Demon Emperor's attack is enough to instantly kill any ordinary Tribulation Passing Stage expert, but Qinchuan … he's not ordinary!"
The Demon King took a deep look at Fau and said in a deep voice, "So, I wasn't a match for Qinchuan?"
Foo raised his head to look at the Nephilim Emperor and replied, "He's really too strong."
Flo didn't say that the Demon King wasn't a match for Qinchuan, but his answer explained everything. This made the Demon King's mood extremely bad. Qinchuan's existence was a huge threat to them!
"Qinchuan took a hit from the Demon Emperor. Even if he doesn't die, he won't have it easy!"
The Demon King said in a deep voice. "Rest well, Foo. You don't have to fight anymore. I'll have Fude take your place."
Flo was surprised to hear this. "Fude already reached the Tribulation Passing Stage?"
The Demon King nodded. "It was the Demon Emperor who helped Fude take the final step and successfully transcend his immortal tribulation."
Foo nodded. "Make sure to tell Fude to be careful."
…
In the Holy Cluster.
The atmosphere in the Sage Monarch Continent was extremely gloomy. Tribulation Passing Stage experts were extremely important to any organization. Guru's sudden death had caught Zerg's upper echelons off guard. Many of the plans that had been made around Guru had to be scrapped or changed, greatly affecting Zerg's overall plans.
Now that the frontlines had been defeated and there was no way out, Zerg's army had no choice but to retreat to the Great Devil Starcluster. Zerg was in urgent need of a general who could oversee the frontlines and lead the army there.
In the dazzling Sage Palace, the Saint-Emperor sat on a high platform, calmly looking at the tall blue figure below. "Lan Ao, why aren't you willing to go to the frontlines?"
In response to the Saint-Emperor's question, Lan Ao calmly replied, "I still need to oversee Chaotic Rock Planet. I really can't split myself."
"You don't need to worry about Chaotic Rock Planet. I'll take care of it."
The Saint-Emperor looked at Lan Ao. "However, the matter of reorganizing the frontlines is urgent. It can't be delayed."
Lan Ao smiled faintly. "The soldiers on the frontlines are in a state of panic because of Guru's death. Morale has long since collapsed. The way I see it, it would be better for the Saint-Emperor to personally lead the troops. That way, the soldiers on the frontlines will definitely be able to rally."
Hearing Lan Ao's words, the Saint-Emperor could not help but fall silent. The Sage Palace suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, the Saint King took a deep look at Lan Ao and said, "Are you challenging my authority?"
Hearing this, Lan Ao smiled and said, "The position of Holy King is open to everyone. Whoever defeats the previous Holy King can become the next Holy King. I remember that this is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times. However, ever since you took the position of Holy King, you called yourself the Holy Emperor and abolished this rule. Now, I plan to re-establish this rule."
The Saint-Emperor looked indifferently at Lan Ao. "Do you think that with Guru's death, I alone can't suppress you?"
Lan Ao sneered. "Isn't that so?"
A long time ago, Lan Ao had been coveting the Saint-Emperor's seat. However, because Guru was a firm supporter of the Saint-Emperor, he had been enduring silently. Now that Guru had fallen, the Saint-Emperor had lost a great help. Lan Ao once again saw the hope of sitting on that seat. No matter what, he did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Facing the unruly Lan Ao, the Saint-Emperor sighed faintly. "Lan Ao, do you know why I abolished this rule and called myself the Saint-Emperor?"
Hearing the Saint-Emperor's words, Lan Ao frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The Saint-Emperor looked deeply at Lan Ao. "You want the seat of the Sage King. I can give it to you. However, the Saint-Emperor can only be me. Do you understand?"
As the Saint-Emperor's voice fell, an extremely shocking pressure suddenly erupted from his body and enveloped Lan Ao. Under this pressure, Lan Ao's face suddenly turned pale. His body uncontrollably knelt on the ground!
Lan Ao lowered his head. The expression on his face was incomparably frightened. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and he gasped violently. It seemed that he could not bear the burden!
The last time Lan Ao had this feeling was when he was facing the angry Insect Queen!
This pressure came and went quickly. The Saint-Emperor looked at Lan Ao kneeling on the ground and asked, "Now, do you have any objections to my order?"
Lan Ao immediately replied in a trembling voice, "I … dare not have any objections!"
