Great Emperor Dongji gradually transformed into a streak of light after finishing his words, preparing to leave the Formless Ethereal Chamber.
The Demon Sealing Tower in Daozong's palm was driven by Immortal Power and instantly expanded. It not only enveloped Great Emperor Dongji, but everyone present as well, even encompassing the entire Formless Ethereal Chamber.
"Mr. Dongji, since you came here alone, you should not leave. In my view, killing you and obtaining intelligence about the Death Spirit Army currently controlled by Azathoth is more important. Since you no longer belong to this world, it would be better for you to die sooner rather than later, wouldn't it?"
Yu Ming was quite satisfied with Daozong's judgment. Although the Great Emperor Dongji before them had left behind methods that allowed his consciousness to return and control his body independently, his identity as a death spirit could not be erased. Judging from what he had just said, Great Emperor Dongji could not sever his connection with Azathoth, meaning it was still difficult to determine which side he would ultimately stand on.
The most prudent course was to completely erase such a powerful figure while he was currently alone.
"I know that killing me would be the better choice for the current state of the world. But since I prepared a method to awaken in the void, I had long anticipated this day. My awakening has a purpose. There are matters that I must settle personally. Before they are resolved, I cannot die, and you cannot kill me."
Suppressed within the Demon Sealing Tower and facing seven apostle-level figures, Great Emperor Dongji showed no fear whatsoever.
"Then I'll make the first move! You six, help me pressure him."
Zhang Chen and Qing Gui moved at the same time, joining space and time together
