Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"What... what is she planning to do?" the Tianyang Spirit King asked, his voice subconsciously lowering a few notches. This showed his apprehension towards the Crystal Great Demon Emperor.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox sighed and said, "She's naturally trying to extend her life in a special way. She must have borrowed some power to descend her divine consciousness onto a new body, thereby cultivating a Super Bloodline. If she really can succeed in her Tribulation..."

There was no need to continue for the other Emperors to understand his meaning.

"She still showed some mercy. She didn't dissipate all the Luck, and she still protected the Ancestral Court. Otherwise, if she had been reckless, I'm afraid the Luck of the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain would have been completely ruined by now, and the Ancestral Court would be in danger."

The eyes of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had a complex look. Even though there were so many Emperors present, when it came to the one who initiated this event, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, he still felt somewhat anxious inside. He could never forget the feelings she had brought to him during his growth process.

...

"Little Sky Fox, your forefather says that you have the potential to inherit his mantle, and proposes you as the next Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox," the woman in the white gauze dress said from the central throne of the Ancestral Court Council.

Little Sky Fox looked up reverently at the stunningly beautiful woman shrouded in brilliant light, momentarily dizzy with awe.

It had grown quickly, naturally drawn to Luck, but when it saw the woman in front of it, it couldn't discern her Luck; it was as if her Luck had turned into a rainbow, reaching from heaven to earth.

It would never forget the first time it set eyes on her. In that moment, her visage was deeply etched into both its mind and its heart.

"What's the matter? Can't you speak?"

"No, it's not that, Your Highness, I, I..." Little Sky Fox was filled with nervousness, its heart trembling in the presence of the ruler of the Ancestral Court, the strongest of the current age, and the perfect incarnation of an Empress.

"Hahaha, it seems you are still a little virgin. Since your forefather places such high hopes on you, you'd better hurry to continue your lineage. Alright, off you go, and tell your forefather I agree. What a shy little fellow you are."

...

No matter when, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox would never forget the shock he felt the first time he saw that woman. Yes, it was a profound shock to his spirit. Therefore, no matter when, he could never harbor any animosity towards her in his heart. Even if she stood on the opposing side, even if she was to destroy the accomplishments of his years of hard work, it was the same. Up to this moment, he could not stir up any hostility towards her, and when mentioning her, he was even somewhat cautious.

And he was not the only one among those present to have such thoughts. The oldest of the present Emperors were around two thousand years old, and the Crystal Great Demon Emperor was a thousand years their senior. This meant that during their growth, from youth to Emperor, nearly all had been under the radiance of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor.

There used to be a rule in the Ancestral Court, set by the Crystal Great Demon Emperor herself when she was personally in charge: Every Emperor, after their ascension, had to fight her once, and only after could they take up their Emperor duties. In reality, it was naturally a process of getting beaten up. To all the Emperors, this was a vivid memory. Although it involved being beaten up, it was also guidance from her.

The Crystal Great Demon Emperor's power was Replica, replicating your abilities and using them even better than you, reflecting oneself, reflecting one's future potential and destiny. This played an excellent role in the growth of these Emperors. Therefore, it wasn't too far-fetched to say that this Great Demon Emperor, a thousand years their senior, was half a mentor to them.

But at this moment, this Great Demon Emperor seemed to be targeting the entire Ancestral Court, causing the previous scene in order to extend her own life.

Yet even so, at this moment, all the Emperors just looked in the direction of Crystal Sacred Mountain; could anyone really harbor animosity towards her? Not a single Emperor could utter a word against her at this time.

For a time, the dozen or so Emperors all fell into silence.

It was at this moment that, all of a sudden, a radiant burst of brilliance lit up from the direction of the Crystal Sacred Mountain. The entire mountain was radiating light, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Ancestral Court could feel the baptism of that splendor.

At the same time, within the Ancestral Court Council, a beam of light shot up into the sky as if responding to the luminance emanating from the Crystal Sacred Mountain. The blinding halo burst forth, displaying an unmatchable brilliance.

In the sky, beneath the condensation of that brilliant light, a gigantic figure slowly emerged.

The figure's body was so vast it blocked out the sun, stretching over three thousand meters long, with a body crystal clear and dazzling. Each of its scales seemed to represent the magnificence of the entire world.

"Roar—" A resonant dragon roar echoed throughout the Ancestral Court. In that instant, nearly all the diverse creatures within the Ancestral Court bowed down in worship, for they recognized that this was the foremost powerhouse of their age, the omnipotent Crystal Great Demon Emperor.

Yet, this dragon, whose body and wingspan exceeded three thousand meters, did not bring even the slightest pressure. It slowly lowered its head, looking down at the Ancestral Court below, its eyes seemingly filled with a deep reluctance, but also a sense of determination. It nodded to the various Emperors below. The next moment, its vast body, like a shattered mirror, began to crack in countless places.

A "ding" sounded crisply within the divine consciousness of each Emperor. Immediately thereafter, the massive body in the sky completely disintegrated, turning into countless shards of brilliance raining down from the heavens, plunging directly into the pillar of light that had risen from within the Ancestral Court Council.

Within the Ancestral Court Council, the Crystal Emperor's Heavenly Pillar, which was already over five hundred meters tall, grew even taller, surpassing all other Sky Pillars and bursting out with unparalleled radiant light.

The fifteen Emperors watched the scene, dumbstruck. They all knew what was unfolding before their eyes.

The lips of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox even quivered as he muttered, "Crystal, the Crystal Princess has fallen..." Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

Indeed, it was only when an Emperor fell that they would imbue their last Power into their own Sky Pillar, letting the Sky Pillar bear the Mark of their existence, becoming a cornerstone of the Ancestral Court's Power.

With the rise of the Crystal Emperor's Heavenly Pillar, the Luck of the Ancestral Court, which had been weakened by the depletion of the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, seemed to stabilize once more. The feeling of instability disappeared, and the sky once again became clear.

But from this moment onward, there would be no more Crystal Great Demon Emperor in the world, no more omnipotent seer of the future.

An indescribable sorrow instantly congealed within the Ancestral Court. In no time, countless beings shed mournful tears.

The Ancestral Court had not seen the fall of an Emperor for many years, let alone the fall of the strongest Emperor ranked number one.

And as the Crystal Great Demon Emperor completely perished, the entire plane shuddered with it.

Pretty Girl stood beside the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor, gazing up at the dispersing brilliance in the sky, witnessing the destiny of this generation's empress. For a moment, she too couldn't help but feel a rush of mixed emotions. Yet, deep inside, what she was truly anxious about was wanting to leave this place, wanting to find him.

Had the Crystal Great Demon Emperor suddenly perished at this time because of some relation to him? Could it be that he had not survived the lightning tribulation? But she was certain she had not felt anything from the Asura God's Sword!

As the saying goes, concern leads to chaos. At this moment, her heart was as unsettled as a swinging bucket, fraught with agitation.

"A moment of silence." The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox collected his emotions, lowered his head, and said somberly.
