The Annihilation Star Palace was deathly silent, the oppressive atmosphere making it hard to breathe.
The Annihilation Star Lord sat alone upon the cold throne, his fists clenched tightly.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness and fury, as if flames were blazing within them.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" he growled through clenched teeth, his voice brimming with boundless hatred.
"I, the mighty Annihilation Star Lord, supreme ruler of Sky Wolf Star, actually lost to an obscure brat!"
"This is utterly disgraceful!"
He slammed his palm against the throne's armrest. The hard obsidian instantly crumbled into dust and scattered through the air.
"I'm not willing to accept this! I'm not willing to accept this!"
He threw back his head and let out a long howl, his voice filled with endless desolation and helplessness.
He had now experienced Yang Lingtian's strength firsthand, and the power he had displayed far exceeded the Annihilation Star Lord's expectations.
He knew that in his current condition, he was simply no match for Yang Lingtian.
Could it be that he truly had to cower forever on this dead, silent planet, struggling to eke out a wretched existence?
No! He absolutely refused to accept this!
Just as he was sunk in sorrow and utterly disheartened, a black shadow suddenly appeared before him.
The black shadow seemed to have materialized from thin air, emerging from the void without a sound. It was exceedingly strange.
"Ke ke ke..."
A cold, sinister laugh rang out, sending chills down the spine.
"The mighty Annihilation Star Lord has actually fallen into such a state. Truly lamentable!"
A hoarse voice came from within the black shadow, filled with mockery and amusement.
The Annihilation Star Lord abruptly raised his head, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
"Demon Lord Xuan Ye? It's you!"
