Formless Demon Emperor: For You, It's Worth It

"Formless Demon Emperor Xiao Yao, isn't Xiao Yao the person you wanted to kill? Why did you tell him to run away? Why did you fight me to the death?" The Ethereal Purple Ember Fire were completely baffled.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Bai Yun'er's mouth, clearly indicating that she had suffered a serious internal injury, but she still managed to utter a powerful voice.

"Because he possesses the Primordial Celestial Demon Body, I wish to take him as my disciple, even though this is already impossible. Therefore, this is the last thing I can do for him."

Just as I thought!

But is the mere Primordial Celestial Demon Body worth the Formless Demon Emperor risking his life to protect me?

Just as Xiao Yao fell into deep thought, the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire angrily questioned, "Formless Demon Emperor, are you stupid? Is it really worth going to such lengths for a Primordial Celestial Demon Body brat?"

"Of course!" Bai Yun'er replied readily.

The Ethereal Purple Ember Fire froze for a moment, then cursed, "You insane lunatic!"

At this moment, Bai Yun'er ignored the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire. She gazed at Xiao Yao with deep affection, opening her lips, which had turned pale and lost their former luster and redness.

"Xiao Yao, after I die, the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire will be very weak. You must subdue it then."

Xiao Yao frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing. Like the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire, he still couldn't understand why the Formless Demon Emperor had suddenly become like this.

Therefore, he opened his mouth and asked, "Formless Demon Emperor, I will not be grateful for what you have done, because you have been trying to kill me and have driven me to the brink of despair. So do you still think it was worth it?"

"It's worth it for you!" Bai Yun'er's gentle voice was full of true feelings.

In an instant, Xiao Yao and the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire asked in unison, "Why?"

Seemingly aware that she was about to die, and perhaps because Xiao Yao had asked her this time, Bai Yun'er pursed her lips and began to explain.

"In you, I see the future—a future where Demonic Path coexist with other forms of cultivation."

Bai Yun'er recalled very distant memories.

Twenty-four thousand years ago, the Demonic Path forces were not as powerful as they are now; in fact, they were quite weak.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that forces that cultivate other Daoist methods all believe that the Demonic Path is a Daoist method that should not exist or be cultivated.

Therefore, everyone condemns it, and all bad things are attributed to the Demonic Path.

For example, if there's an earthquake, it must have been caused by Demonic Path cultivators.

The entire population of a city was slaughtered; it must have been done by Demonic Path cultivators.

The mythical beast's egg was stolen; it must have been done by Demonic Path cultivators.

It wasn't until my master's cultivation reached the Emperor Tier, which was 15,000 years ago, that the Demonic Path forces finally stabilized and established their own territory.

Later, under her leadership, the Demonic Path forces gradually grew into the behemoth that no one can underestimate.

Even so, the Demonic Path has not gained everyone's approval, and behind the scenes, everyone is plotting how to destroy Demonic Path forces.

Bai Yun'er realized then that the Demonic Path forces only had two choices.

One option is to become stronger, using terrifying power to force all forces in the world to submit.

The other is to make all beings understand that the Demonic Path is just one of the three thousand methods, and is no different from the other methods.

The real scourge of humanity has never come from the Demonic Path, but from those who possess cultivation but have lost their humanity.

Before learning that Xiao Yao possessed the Primordial Celestial Demon Body, Bai Yun'er had no hope for the second option.

It's difficult enough to change oneself, let alone change the thoughts of others, or even the majority of cultivators in the world.

But three months ago, after her all-out attack was easily blocked by Qingshan Gou Di, she realized that the first option might also be quite difficult.

Therefore, Bai Yun'er's thinking changed, and for the past three months she has been considering the feasibility of the second option.

Finally, the person who brought her hope appeared!

Xiao Yao Direct Disciple of the Lotus Sword Emperor and the Qingshan Gou Di.

Most importantly, he possessed the Primordial Celestial Demon Body Primordial Celestial Demon Body, which has only appeared once in historical records or legends.

That event marked the origin of the Demonic Path.

Therefore, she felt this was a good opportunity to help all beings understand the Demonic Path and dispel misunderstandings.

She felt it was well worth sacrificing herself for the bright future of the entire Demonic Path.

Just then, the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire let out a loud laugh.

"Hahaha! Formless Demon Emperor, I never expected you to be so naive, just like a little girl."

"Let me tell you, from the moment it was born, the Demonic Path can never coexist with other paths."

"Because Demonic Path cultivators are the common enemy of cultivators of other Daoist arts. Once this enemy is gone, major problems will arise within their own ranks."

"Therefore... Demonic Path Demonic Path forces will not be destroyed, nor will they be allowed to become too strong; they will only leave Demonic Path in a state of near-death."

Bai Yun'er's clear, purplish-blue eyes widened. She had been wondering why her master had been able to escape danger time and time again.

Analyzing the words of Ethereal Purple Ember Fire now, it's clear that it was a result of deliberate indulgence.

Unfortunately, they never expected her to appear out of nowhere and lead the Demonic Path forces to their current overwhelming power.

"The Formless Demon Emperor, if this brat doesn't die, he's destined to become a formidable enemy of the Demonic Path forces. By protecting such a powerful enemy now, you're squandering the current favorable situation of the Demonic Path forces! In the future, you'll surely be despised by countless Demonic Path cultivators who will become like rats crossing the street."

The Ethereal Purple Ember Fire began to coax him gently, knowing full well that if Zhen fought to the death with the Formless Demon Emperor, Xiao Yao would definitely get the spoils!

This is an outcome it cannot tolerate.

But it's impossible for it to sacrifice itself.

Therefore, it could only force the Formless Demon Emperor Wuxiang to sacrifice himself to fulfill its purpose.

As for what will become of the Demonic Path forces in the future, it doesn't care at all.

Moreover, having obtained the power of the Formless Demon Emperor, the Demonic Path forces will only become stronger under his leadership.

Xiao Yao looked at Bai Yun'er, who was caught in a struggle and dilemma.

He didn't blame the other party for not sticking to their position until the end.

Anyone, even him, would inevitably be affected by the words of the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire.

Actually...

At this point, Xiao Yao should try to persuade Bai Yun'er to stick to her previous idea of sacrificing herself so that he could benefit from the situation.

But he found such behavior disgusting and completely disdainful of doing it.

Suddenly, Bai Yun'er's gentle, heavenly voice rang out, "Xiao Yao, don't you want to say anything?"

"I don't want to talk about it! I'm not that Youyou Ethereal Purple Ember Fire inside you, who clearly acts for yourself but pretends to be thinking of you and the Demonic Path." Xiao Yao said righteously.

Upon being exposed, the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire immediately cursed, "You brat, you're spouting nonsense! I'll sue you for defamation!"

"The Formless Demon Emperor, he slanders me! He slanders me! Please, you must believe me!"

Bai Yun'er closed her eyes, which were already bleeding.

She had just lost her judgment, but Xiao Yao's words made her understand something.

This time, I'm not doing it for the sake of the Demonic Path, nor for myself, but simply making this choice based on what's in my heart.

"Xiao Yao! In these final moments, thank you for helping me to see the truth."

"I truly regret that you are not my Direct Disciple. Farewell!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yun'er smiled gently and gathered all her magical Mana, preparing to Ethereal Purple Ember Fire.

The Ethereal Purple Ember Fire were furious. "No! You stupid woman, how could you make such a choice?"

[Ding! This system is moved. Quickly save this foolish woman. Mission issued: Save the Formless Demon Emperor. Upon completion, you will receive a Quasi-Immortal Tier reward.]

Saved!

This was not difficult for Xiao Yao, who possessed the Qiankun Honghuo Pill.

But this is clearly a saintly act; he definitely wouldn't have intervened if the reward was lower than that of Emperor Tier expert.

Xiao Yao summoned the Qiankun Honghuo Pill from his system space, swallowed it in one gulp, and walked step by step toward Bai Yun'er, who was battling the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire.

"Ethereal Purple Ember Fire, didn't you want to devour me? I'll give you that chance now."

Bai Yun'er stared blankly at Xiao Yao as he drew closer, her beautiful eyes widening. She bit her lip, her teeth bleeding, and said, "You're not allowed to come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

But Xiao Yao showed no sign of stopping, Bai Yun'er's big, watery eyes were now filled with tears.

In her eyes, Xiao Yao was so handsome and brave.

She once thought that, apart from her master, no one else in her life would be willing to sacrifice for her.

Unexpectedly, a boy they had only met recently agreed.

She's so much better than her junior brother who's always causing trouble!

Thinking of this, Bai Yun'er realized that Xiao Yao was almost at the point where the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire could invade his body.

"Xiao Yao! I beg you! It's not worth it for someone like me, a member of the Demonic Path!"

Xiao Yao stopped in his tracks and said heavily, "What is worthwhile, and what is not worthwhile, I don't understand. I only know that I'm doing what I want to do."

Despair!

Footsteps sounded again, Xiao Yao finally stepped into the range of the Ethereal Purple Ember Fire.

"Hehehe! Kid, thank you for giving me a chance to live."

"To be honest, it's one thing for the Formless Demon Emperor Wuxiang to act stupidly, but I really didn't expect you to do the same. Is this the emotion that all living beings possess? What a worthless piece of trash!"
