Chapter 860: The Fall of the Sky Slaying Demon Emperor
Within the vast expanse of the void, inside the floating Great Thousand Palace, Xiao Ze's spiritual avatar suddenly sensed a transmission. Raising an eyebrow, he promptly awakened his true body from cultivation.
"Phew... What an incredible harvest. Only a small portion of the Great Thousand Void Crystals remains to be refined, and the gains have far surpassed my expectations," Xiao Ze muttered, a trace of satisfaction in his eyes as he reviewed his progress.
After recalling his spiritual avatar, he focused on the incoming transmission, his expression turning serious.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ze informed the Great Thousand Palace of his departure and used the spatial jade slip to trace the coordinates, heading swiftly toward Sword Domain.
The Threat of the Sky Slaying Demon Emperor
Even with the jade slip providing spatial guidance, it would still take some time to reach Sword Domain. Xiao Ze pondered the message from the Azure Robed Sword Saint, who had called for his aid in dealing with a Demon Emperor.
Slaying a Sky Slaying Demon Emperor was no easy feat. Unless one's power utterly overwhelmed the opponent, eliminating a Demon Emperor of the same tier was exceedingly difficult.
Xiao Ze understood this all too well as a Saint tier Heaven Supreme. If he resolved to flee, even beings of equal rank would struggle to detain him without overwhelming superiority.
In the original story, the Sky Slaying Demon Emperor had indeed been slain by the Azure Robed Sword Saint, but only under unique circumstances. At that time, the Extraterritorial Evil Race had withdrawn, waiting for the Evil God to recover.
The Great Thousand World's coalition, led by Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, had cornered the Blade Demon Clan within a lower realm. With the lower realm sealed, the coalition slaughtered the Blade Demons relentlessly.
Unable to escape, the Sky Slaying Demon Emperor fought to the death, ultimately perishing at the Sword Saint's hands.
Currently, however, the Sword Saint lacked the means to seal or trap the Demon Emperor definitively. Thus, he had reached out to Xiao Ze through the spatial jade slip, seeking his assistance to ensure the Demon Emperor's demise.
"Barely a few months after the Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Domain event, the Evil Race is already stirring trouble again," Xiao Ze muttered coldly as he sped through the spatial passage.
"This time, they've even sent a Demon Emperor. Since they've come, they won't be leaving."
The opportunity to eliminate a Demon Emperor was a rare chance to weaken the Evil Race significantly, one Xiao Ze would not let slip.
The Azure Robed Sword Saint's Battle
Near the demonic domain's oceanic borders, the clash between the Azure Robed Sword Saint and the Sky Slaying Demon Emperor reached its peak.
Blade auras and sword beams tore through space, leaving a vast expanse of ocean transformed into an abyssal chasm. The lingering energy was so overwhelming that the seawater couldn't flow back into place.
The two combatants fought fiercely. Amidst the chaos, the Sword Saint's azure sword shot forth, its trajectory unpredictable, piercing through the surging demonic energy to strike the Demon Emperor's chest.
"Urgh…"
The Demon Emperor glanced at the azure sword lodged in his chest, a faint smile curling his lips. His sharp, clawed hands slashed toward the Sword Saint's neck and shoulder without hesitation.
For Demon Emperors, a pierced chest was far from a fatal wound. Their demonic hearts their true vulnerabilities could move freely within their bodies, evading strikes with ease.
While the injury signified the Sword Saint's growing advantage, the Demon Emperor remained unfazed. Close to the demonic domain, with a nearly indestructible demonic heart, he still held the upper hand.
The Sword Saint's expression remained calm as he twisted his wrist, unleashing countless sword energies that tore through the Demon Emperor's chest, creating a gaping wound.
In retaliation, the Demon Emperor's claws struck true, ripping through the Sword Saint's robes, leaving streaks of crimson on his azure garments.
Yet the Sword Saint's face betrayed no change, even as blood seeped through his clothes. His sword surged with blinding light, slicing the Demon Emperor's body in half with a powerful strike.
However, the Demon Emperor's bifurcated form quickly reassembled, his body shrouded in a haze of demonic energy. Though whole again, he looked paler, his demonic aura significantly diminished.
The Sword Saint smirked at the Demon Emperor's wary expression.
"Do you think I've been fighting this long without a purpose? I've only been waiting for you to run out of options," he said, his voice calm yet sharp.
Unfazed, the Demon Emperor sneered.
"Azure Robed Sword Saint, I admit your skill is superior. But to kill me? A pipe dream! Your tricks alone cannot contain me."
The Demon Emperor's form blurred as he attempted to retreat toward the demonic domain.
Xiao Ze Arrives
"Do you truly believe the Sword Saint alone cannot kill you? What about the two of us together?"
A voice rang out, followed by a sudden burst of starlight. The very fabric of the heavens seemed to shift as stars replaced the sun and moon.
The Demon Emperor halted abruptly, his expression turning grim as he found himself trapped within a mysterious stellar domain.
Before he could act, a radiant star lit sword beam slashed toward him, filling him with an instinctive sense of dread.
The Demon Emperor's eyes widened in shock as he roared, "Azure Robed Sword Saint! Attack together!"
"Understood!"
Xiao Ze's voice echoed as the Sword Saint surged forward, his azure blade gleaming with renewed vigor.
Faced with two Saint tier Heaven Supremes, the Demon Emperor's confidence crumbled.
"You're… Xiao Ze! The Demon Slayer King!"
The Demon Emperor's tone betrayed a rare trace of fear. Xiao Ze's growing renown in the Great Thousand World had clearly reached even the Evil Race.
Unbothered by the Demon Emperor's recognition, Xiao Ze pressed the attack. The Sword Saint followed suit, their combined assault relentless and precise.
Within the stellar domain, the Demon Emperor's every attempt to escape was thwarted. Even his desperate bid to self destruct was suppressed.
Ultimately, under the combined might of Xiao Ze and the Azure Robed Sword Saint, the Sky Slaying Demon Emperor fell.
His death marked a significant blow to the Extraterritorial Evil Race a victory the Great Thousand World would long remember.
