If the Evil Emperor had teeth, they would surely be clenched together.
They could fight, but if a battle between top powerhouses erupted in his own territory, the outcome would be irrelevant. The core region of the Evil Spirit Forest would likely be destroyed outright, perhaps even affecting the Clan Descendants he had cultivated for Soul Possession. That would be a terrible loss.
More importantly, compared to Mu En, Niu Tian made the Evil Emperor even more wary. His Spiritual Power was absolutely the strongest among the Soul Beasts. Even Di Tian feared him greatly, yet this man had blocked him with ease. He was no simple opponent.
So... they could not fight.
He was, after all, a top powerhouse. He would not lose his temper and cast caution aside merely because he had lost face.
The Spiritual Pressure belonging to the Evil Emperor visibly began to disperse from the sky.
"Make yourselves at home."
The red radiance withdrew into the clouds, and the Evil Emperor's enormous, oppressive body vanished without a trace.
The Demon Empress cursed inwardly at how quickly the Evil Emperor had fled, faster than a rabbit, but she did not retract her own Spiritual Pressure. Instead, it grew even stronger.
Her daughter was her only family. She absolutely could not give up.
The Evil Emperor's retreat immediately caused Mu En and Niu Tian to turn their gazes toward the Demon Empress. Niu Tian said calmly, "Are you planning to continue? If my senses are not mistaken, you should still be carrying some kind of injury, right?"
As he spoke, a deep cyan-gold shadow flashed behind Niu Tian. The air suddenly solidified, and even space seemed to tremble faintly.
Niu Tian merely stood there, as if suppressing everything.
Even the Demon Empress's heart shook at his strength.
