Meeting the Heavenly Emperor Again, His True Face!
The One-Eyed Demon King saw that there was no hope of eliminating Chen Ning.
The demon army he brought was almost completely wiped out, and he immediately had the idea of escaping.
The enormous eyeball shot upwards toward the sky.
Stop him!
Everyone was startled.
They were both aware of the consequences if the other fled.
At this moment.
A golden sonic wave swept out.
It shattered that enormous eyeball.
"Aaaaaah!!"
The One-Eyed Demon King perished.
The Lion God King spoke calmly, "I prefer to kill you as the God King rather than as the Demon Marshal."
Finally.
Peace returned to the world.
Countless people in the Vast Land and the Canglan Realm breathed a sigh of relief.
Only.
Yet, everyone's heart remained heavy.
Although he has temporarily escaped disaster, the One-Eyed Demon King is nothing more than a demon king, a minor leader in the entire Heavenly Demon Legion.
The Demon Emperor is the source of fear!
However, their strength alone was no match for the Demon Emperor.
"Chen Ning... Chen Ning, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
At this moment.
Hua Luo suddenly burst into tears.
Only then did everyone notice that Chen Ning was standing there blankly, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost his soul.
"Yao Li, what's wrong with the leader?"
Nalan Yao also asked eagerly.
Yao Li shook her head and said, "I don't know?"
Chen Ning had just overcome his fear and chosen to coexist with it, thus enabling him to mobilize his power to evade the One-Eyed Demon King's attacks.
But even she couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
Now.
Chen Ning's mind was in a state of chaos.
Before.
It is a constantly evolving and changing scene.
The demon army swept across the land like locusts, destroying piece after piece of land.
Plundering life.
Enslaving all living beings in the world.
The Demon Emperor sits high above, looking down upon all living beings.
Chen Ning felt a chill run down his spine.
Shivering.
The Demon Emperor planted the Seed of Fear in him, so Chen Ning's fear of the Demon Emperor was naturally the strongest.
And then...
The scene before my eyes kept changing.
The figure of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor appeared.
Only.
Legend has it that the Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor fought tenaciously, enduring countless trials and tribulations before finally attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor.
The same is true of the murals in the Heavenly Palace.
But the scene before us was completely different.
The Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor is no longer the legendary, brave, and fearless hero, but has become a rather despicable being.
He fought on the battlefield between gods and Gods and Devils, in countless years of struggle against the Heavenly Demon Legion before becoming an emperor.
They are afraid of death and cling to life.
A sneak attack from behind.
Feigning death to deceive the enemy.
Two-faced.
They made a hasty escape.
That legendary figure, so worthy of song and tears, has vanished without a trace.
He was no longer a fearless hero.
Rather, he is a cunning and treacherous individual.
This truly shocked Chen Ning.
So much so that he even temporarily forgot his fear of the Demon Emperor.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of him.
It was none other than the Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor.
"How was it? You were a little shocked after seeing the real me, weren't you?"
"It's not just a little shocked, it's utterly shocking."
Chen Ning was dumbfounded.
"Hahahaha... That's right, this is the real me. Just like you right now, I am filled with fear of the Demon Emperor."
"However, you are stronger than me. You fell victim to the Demon Emperor's methods, while my fear of him runs deep in my bones!"
The Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He then added, "However, if you hadn't fallen victim to the Demon Emperor's methods, you wouldn't have reached this State of Mind of mine. It seems that you and my Tyrant Body are truly destined for each other."
"Tyrant Body? Is it the Nine Heavens Tyrant Body?"
"Exactly."
The Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor laughed loudly, "After attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor, I shamelessly called this Dharma Body, which I cultivated in the mortal world, the Tyrant Body. But this is ultimately just Deceiving People. Therefore, I dare not pass on this Tyrant Body. If people knew that the Tyrant Body was just such a clumsy method, wouldn't that be an insult to my name?"
"However... now that I am truly left with only a wisp of divine consciousness, I really don't want to see this Dharma body lost. Moreover, in the current God Realm, there are so many truly righteous and selfless figures who are willing to sacrifice their lives. I can't help but feel ashamed of myself. In fact, they are the hope of all realms. I am just a despicable person, always immersed in the admiration of all realms, unwilling to extricate myself, and creating a false image of a hero."
"No!"
Chen Ning shook his head. "You are not fake, but very real. Moreover, even if you survived using a hundred times worse tricks, you are still a hero who defeated the Demon Emperor. This will not change because of anything. You deserve the respect of all realms."
Upon hearing this...
The Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor was taken aback.
He then smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you."
"These are my heartfelt words, and I believe that people millions of years ago would have thought the same thing as me."
Perhaps.
Millions of years ago, even though people knew that the Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor had fabricated a false image, they were still willing to continue to venerate him.
Because he truly defeated the Demon Emperor.
His image before becoming emperor does not diminish his greatness.
"Chen Ning, the reason you couldn't master the Nine Heavens Nine Heavens Tyrant Body before was because you didn't understand its true essence. Now, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning nodded.
Then.
The Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor before them vanished completely.
Only one sentence remained in Chen Ning's heart.
"Little one... protect all realms for me!"
