Chapter 648: Demon Emperor!
Above the sea.
The great battle was on the verge of erupting.
Ye Luo, Baize, Sun Wukong, Kabala, and others stood together. On their side, the aura of the New Heavenly Dao pervaded.
Though the New Heavenly Dao's aura was vibrant, its core consciousness was ultimately in slumber; this portion of the aura was merely summoned by Ye Luo.
However, the aura of the Heavenly Dao was still the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
With its blessing.
Their side's momentum had become much stronger, and it also provided Ye Luo with a direct enhancement.
On the other side.
Donghuang Taiyi stood alone.
With his aura alone, he directly contended with Ye Luo's side.
Behind Donghuang Taiyi, a supremely powerful aura was gradually awakening.
This aura lacked the sharpness and dominance of Donghuang Taiyi but was filled with an altogether different kind of majesty.
This majesty was very powerful, as if a supreme ruler over all beings, governing thousands of worlds, was about to awaken.
"The Demon Emperor is about to resurrect. Even with the New Heavenly Dao's blessing, you will have no effect!"
Feeling this aura, a long-lost smile emerged on Donghuang Taiyi's face.
At the same time, he showed no sign of retreat in the face of the formidable momentum from Ye Luo's side.
With the Demon Emperor present, they were not weaker than Ye Luo's side.
Moreover, judging by the momentum of the Demon Emperor, the recovered realm was not weak.
"This..."
The people on Ye Luo's side all felt the power of this aura.
Their faces were all very solemn.
This level of battle was not something they could participate in at all.
Just the fight with Donghuang Taiyi was not something they could intervene in, let alone the fact that an existence even more fearsome than Donghuang Taiyi was about to resurrect.
Under such circumstances...
It was likely that only the armored Sun Wukong and Ye Luo could hold their own. If they joined, they might just be throwing their lives away.
In this situation.
Staying here would be very dangerous for them.
"Alliance Leader, how should we proceed with the upcoming battle..."
"If we stay here, we probably won't be of any help. Should we leave first?"
"Leave? Where could we go? If the Alliance Leader loses, then what chance do we have? Sooner or later we'll die, so it might as well be here, fighting to the death!"
"Only a fight to the death, that's all!"
All of them made their stance known.
Some wanted to leave, some wanted to fight to the death.
But after some persuasion, they finally united their front to fight to death.
"Don't worry, the other side is strong, but we aren't necessarily weak either. This Alliance Leader Ye is not weak, and isn't there also your Respected Master, as you mentioned?"
Sun Wukong, however, had no hint of fear in his eyes; on the contrary, a terrifying will to fight was burning within him.
This scene seemed to awaken memories from his past.
In an instant, the intense will to fight increased his momentum significantly.
"No, Daoist Chu's Divine Dragon is elusive. We have no idea where he is."
Baize shook his head slightly and spoke.
"This..."
Sun Wukong was suddenly taken aback.
The burning will to fight that he had also came to a halt.
This...
The strongest force on their side had shown up.
And our strongest force didn't even know where it was?
Asking about it only gets one the answer that the Divine Dragon is "visible but cannot be sought"?
Well, good grief.
He just said good grief.
"I believe in Respected Master!"
At that moment, Ye Luo suddenly turned his head, looked at the people around him, and with a very determined will said these words.
"Believe..."
Sun Wukong fell silent.
Isn't this too childish?
Just as Sun Wukong was about to say something more.
In the ocean ahead, towering waves suddenly rose, with layers of water sweeping up and forming an overwhelming tide, as if it sought to submerge everything.
Under the watchful eyes of Ye Luo and the others.
A figure emerged from the endless waves.
With the appearance of that figure, it seemed as though the void itself was trembling.
At the same time, countless extraordinary phenomena also began to rise.
Shadows of suns, moons, and stars were cast forth, as if summoned by some supreme being.
Each shadow was filled with an ancient and powerful aura.
As the figure stepped out, each stellar shadow automatically moved beside the figure, following them.
And that figure was none other than Demon Emperor Di Jun!
Di Jun, dressed in imperial robes, took a stride forward, bringing an unsurpassed pressure with him as he did.
As Di Jun approached, Ye Luo and the others, as if by some unspoken agreement, lowered their statures.
This was not a gap in realms.
It was a difference in status.
The Heavenly Emperor, by nature, possessed such status.
It directly exerted a form of suppression on Ye Luo and the others.
Indeed, under this pressure, their combat abilities were absolutely affected.
If previously, Ye Luo could unleash two hundred percent of his combat strength with the aid of Heavenly Dao,
Now, he could only exert his original strength, as the enhancement from Heavenly Dao was neutralized by this pressure.
To neutralize the blessings of Heavenly Dao with one's own momentum was terrifying enough.
"You impudent juniors, dare to be so presumptuous?"
A voice brimming with authority traveled over.
No sooner had that figure appeared, than he attacked Ye Luo and the others swiftly, without any trace of hesitation. He didn't waste a single word, attacking directly.
Ye Luo and the others were startled, scattering to evade being struck by the figure 'Di Jun'.
But inevitably, some were not fast enough.
They were hit by one of Di Jun's moves.
Several of them were directly sent crashing down from the firmament into the sea below, their fate unknown.
Ye Luo and the others were shocked by Di Jun's frightening combat power.
They had not anticipated that Di Jun would possess such terrifying martial prowess.
With a single blow, he rendered several of them completely powerless to fight back.
"This guy's recovery in realm is more frightening than we thought!"
Sun Wukong's pupils sharply contracted as he took a deep breath.
He understood now.
Just with the people here, it would be very difficult to contend against this Di Jun.
"Leave?"
Sun Wukong looked at Ye Luo and said in a deep voice.
"Leave, where can we possibly go?"
Ye Luo gritted his teeth, already feeling that a breath of qi was targeting them from the unknown.
It was the aura of that Demon Emperor Di Jun.
Di Jun wouldn't possibly allow them to escape.
"What do we do?"
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I... I don't know either," Ye Luo replied, equally bewildered.
At this moment, whether to flee or to fight, neither seemed viable.
So what exactly should they do now?
"Baize, and the two from the new era, submit now, and I may still spare your lives," said the Demon Emperor, stepping forward and scanning Ye Luo and the others with an indifferent gaze, finally settling on three figures.
Ye Luo, Sun Wukong, Baize.
In his view, only these three were worthy of his invitation to join the old era; the others were insignificant.
Baize was once a subordinate of his.
Ye Luo was a prodigy of the new era.
But Sun Wukong was an enigma to him, yet he recognized Sun Wukong's extraordinariness...
