Demon Emperor: You Have Gone Too Far!

"Little rat! Do you think this is enough to stand against a former Demon Emperor? You think too highly of yourself!"

Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor sensed no small threat from the nine budding Bodhi Flowers. Though they could not possibly inflict fatal damage upon his Demon Soul, being suppressed by a junior would be an unparalleled trampling of his dignity!

Being forced into such a miserable state through carelessness earlier had already been the greatest humiliation. How could there be a second time?!

"Illusion Demon Art, Great Illusion God Annihilation Hand!"

Dozens of drops of Demon Emperor's essence blood fell into the black earth he had long since demonized. The ground cracked apart piece by piece, and a dark-purple giant hand seemed to crawl out from the abyss of hell, carrying the wails of countless ghosts as it sought to bring endless terror and nightmares upon its enemy!

The nine buds brimming with sword qi were completely surrounded by the rolling giant hand, seemingly about to be destroyed before they could reveal their splendor.

"Little rat, I once used this move to wipe out seven Heavenly Sovereigns from your Great Thousand World, body and soul alike! Two of them were even Immortal Grade! It is your supreme honor to witness this move!"

Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor stood like an unparalleled demon lord within the abyss of hell. He cast aside the teasing gaze he used on ants, as if to say that the might of a Demon Emperor was beyond this junior's comprehension!

"Since ancient times, young phoenixes have sung clearer than old phoenixes! You old thing are already yesterday's wave upon the shore—you ought to fall by the hand of a junior like me!"

Ye Kong merged with the Bodhi Tree and used his powerful will to withstand the spiritual assault of the wailing ghosts. Sword in hand, he charged toward the Demon Emperor with unstoppable resolve.

"Hmph, a little rat is still a little rat! You actually gave up your greatest advantage of your own accord. You do not even know how to endure for a little while!"

Seeing that Ye Kong had not fled into the void, the Demon Emperor secretly mocked him for not knowing his limits and for handing him such a fine opportunity.

"Little rat, since you have delivered yourself to me, I will suppress and devour you, using your life force to restore my injuries!"

Seeing that even the Great Illusion God Annihilation Hand could not halt Ye Kong's advance or his sword light, the Demon Emperor's gaze sharpened. He gathered his full attention and, for the first time, took this driven Great Thousand genius seriously.

"If this boy does not die, he may become a second Buddha Emperor in the future. This great threat must not be allowed to remain!"

Having resolved to remove this great scourge for his race, the Demon Emperor no longer hesitated. His left hand formed a palm seal while his right became a demon-rending claw. His body split into countless illusions as his true body shifted and changed position, his footwork no less profound than Supernatural Footwork.

In this exchange, Ye Kong acted completely unlike usual. He used Supernatural Footwork only to change positions. After being briefly knocked back, he roared and charged in again with sword in hand, showing not the slightest intent to retreat.

His sword surged like a roaming dragon, its sword qi vast and mighty. The phantoms of many Divine Beasts—the Giant Ape, White Dragon, and Golden Lion—accompanied him. His Heavenly Eye constantly sought out the Demon Emperor's weaknesses as he brought the Kasyapa Sword Scripture to its limits with an upright and overwhelming momentum, unleashing unprecedentedly fierce fighting spirit.

Yet after more than a hundred violent clashes, the nine-colored sword light was gradually suppressed by the Demon Emperor's demonic qi.

Though it remained sharp, it was as if the Demon Emperor had seen through its essence, and he dealt with it more and more easily.

"Boy! I told you already, the strength of a Demon Emperor is not something a junior like you can fathom!

"I have fought countless campaigns throughout my life. How could your control over power compare to that of a brat who has not even grown all his hair?!"

The Demon Emperor seized the opening in Ye Kong's attack. His ghost claw struck after yet arrived first, nearly disemboweling Ye Kong in a single blow and leaving his hand smeared with blood.

He blissfully extended his deathly black tongue and licked the blood brimming with Life Essence into his mouth.

"What intoxicating blood food. Boy, do you see now?! This is your fate!

"Though I cannot kill you, I can devour all the essence in your body one mouthful at a time!

"If I am not mistaken, all your cultivation came from that dead bitch's essence blood. I will cherish this fine gift of yours very much!"

Ye Kong silently stopped the wound on his chest from worsening, his face as still and solemn as water as he sighed inwardly.

I still underestimated these old monsters. Even when I see his flaws, it is difficult to seize the opportunity. But that is fine. The time is about right.

He snorted coldly. Still seeming unconvinced, he rallied his spirit and swung his sword, launching an angry charge at the nearly invincible Demon Emperor.

Seeing that Ye Kong was so enraged this time that he focused only on offense and abandoned defense, the Demon Emperor sneered inwardly. After several dozen exchanges, he deliberately revealed a hidden flaw.

During their earlier exchanges, he had discovered that Ye Kong's eyes had cultivated a powerful ocular art. They could not only detect his illusionary clones, but also seek out his weaknesses. Unfortunately, with Ye Kong's shallow use of power, seeing them was useless even if he could!

Sure enough, the little rat made another meaningless attempt. He thrust his battle sword at him at all costs, completely ignoring the wide-open gap before his own body.

"Boy! This time, I will not give you another chance at rebirth. Even if I have to take several more of your sword strikes, I will never let you escape!"

After trading injury for injury, the divine sword Burying Buddha Tablet and the Demon Emperor's ghost claw once again pierced through their enemy's chests. Crimson and purplish-black blood splashed across their faces, painting a gruesome scene.

Just as the Demon Emperor was about to say something triumphantly, he saw that Ye Kong's face held no panic whatsoever. Instead, Ye Kong revealed a crazed smile and roared, "This time, I will be the one to decide our mutual destruction! Bodhi Flowers, bloom! Slay demons and prove my heart! Demon Emperor, please remain!"

"What?!"

The Demon Emperor was horrified as a heaven-shaking sword cry suddenly erupted above his head.

At some unknown moment, the nine Bodhi Sword Flowers had broken free from the Great Illusion God Annihilation Hand. They bloomed furiously in the wind as they descended to kill!

Their petals had drunk their fill of Demon Blood. Under the confinement of the dark-purple giant hand, they had completed their journey of breaking free from the cocoon, releasing sword force condensed to the utmost extreme!

After nine earth-shattering explosions, the raging sword qi wounded the cracked earth once more, leaving behind countless grievous scars.

The physical bodies of the two, who had been locked in a life-or-death struggle, were once again blasted into gaseous form. Then, almost simultaneously, they condensed anew and faced each other from afar.

"Fuck! You little bald thief are even crazier than your dead master! You keep trying to perish together at every turn, and every time you die, you come back stronger!"

Seeing Ye Kong appear before him unharmed yet again, with an aura even stronger than after his first rebirth and his essence, qi, and spirit even fuller, even Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor could not help breaking down. He began cursing loudly.

A grand Demon Emperor, a tiger fallen onto the plains and bullied by dogs, had actually been forced into mutual destruction twice by a weakling from the Great Thousand World whose true cultivation had not even reached the Venerate Realm!

Though it had not damaged his foundation, he had utterly lost the bearing of a Demon Emperor. There was simply no justice in this!

"Your Demon Soul is quite stable, after all. From the looks of it now, even if a junior like me shattered your body another thousand times, I still could not kill you. Why get so angry?"

Ye Kong crossed his arms and smiled with an expression that seemed to say, "I am young, so I am right."

"I have plenty of time. It would not matter if I died together with you several hundred more times. I will simply treat it as you, elder, setting aside your dignity to guide a junior like me. I will have some face when I speak of it in the future.

"Once my master's wife resolves the trouble on her end, she will naturally send you into Avici Hell.

"Oh, right. By then, perhaps I will even take a wisp of your remnant soul and place it inside the Demon Slaying Token, speeding up the path for me to become the Demon Slaying King~."

"Ahhh! Boy! You forced my hand! I will show you what the greatest illusion in the world truly is! I will make you sink forever into the abyss of desire!"

"Illusion Demon Art, Myriad Ancient Illusion Desire Cover! Die! Die within the dream of your deepest desires!"

Knowing that he could not escape calamity today, Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor ignited all the essence blood in his body. Straight beams of light shot from his demon eyes and ten fingertips alike, outlining a pink, ethereal demonic cover filled with an eerie aura. Ignoring the restrictions of space, it rapidly expanded and enveloped Ye Kong, who had already fled into the void.

Hmph! How could a junior like you evade a supreme move unleashed by burning my origin? Since I am going to die at that bitch's hands, I will first send her precious disciple ahead to scout the way for me!

Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor watched Ye Kong, who failed to prevent the pink gas from entering his body even after arranging thirty-six Bodhi Flowers around himself. The Demon Emperor sneered inwardly, eagerly awaiting the sight of this hateful boy falling forever into the abyss of desire.

But... a moment later, Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor, who had been waiting to enjoy the show, seemed to suffer the greatest insult of his life. Smoke practically poured from his seven orifices as he let out an ear-piercing shriek like a shrew at the village entrance.

"You damned rat, you have gone too far! What kind of fucking monk are you?! Ah?!"
