"Blade Maniac, Blade Maniac, is this how you speak to a powerhouse of equal standing?"
Just as Blade Maniac's shout faded, a figure stepped out of the void.
It was none other than the crimson-clad Blazing God Emperor.
"A mere little sheep demon thinks he's worthy of being called an equal?" Blade Maniac sneered when he saw the Blazing God Emperor. "I heard there's some Supreme Demon God Palace causing trouble everywhere lately. I suppose you're one of the rats from that Supreme Demon God Palace?"
"Heh heh, I advise you to watch your words," the Blazing God Emperor said with a frown. "You fought the Azure Emperor to a draw, didn't you?"
"That's right." Blade Maniac nodded calmly.
"Good. The Azure Emperor's strength is nearly equal to mine. What gives you the right to be so arrogant?" the Blazing God Emperor snorted.
"You?" Blade Maniac looked at the Blazing God Emperor as though he were an idiot. "You think you're worthy of being compared to the Azure Emperor?"
"Heh heh, the Third Supreme of my Supreme Demon God Palace fought the Azure Emperor to a draw. And I'm evenly matched with the Third Supreme of the Supreme Demon God Palace. Why can't I compare myself to the Azure Emperor?" the Blazing God Emperor said with utter confidence.
"The Azure Emperor has fallen that far?" Blade Maniac was stunned. He decided that after dealing with this clown, he would go ask the Azure Emperor what was going on—whether he had been injured or something.
He really didn't want a worthy opponent to finally appear, only for that opponent to suddenly become useless.
"Damn it!" The Blazing God Emperor was furious. He hadn't expected this fellow to rather believe that the Azure Emperor had become useless than believe in his own
