As for Xuan Du and Sui Xiang,
Bai Ze did not think highly of them either.
It was not because of their cultivation.
Rather,
as members of the human race,
they had stood by and allowed the demon race to massacre Divine Capital Luoyang.
No matter what hidden mysteries lay behind it,
calling their indifferent behavior treachery against humanity would not be excessive.
No one liked traitors,
regardless of who they were.
And Bai Ze, as the stronger party,
had even less reason to consider whether Xuan Du and Sui Xiang could save face.
Now that he saw Yi Zi fiercely rebuke Xuan Du and Sui Xiang,
he became even more interested in Yi Zi.
"Yi Zi, I see that you possess astonishing talent. Proving the Dao as a Quasi-Saint will not be difficult for you in the future."
"Why live alongside such vermin?"
"Join the demon race of the Heavenly Court. Then I can petition the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor to appoint you Lord of the human race in the Divine Capital. What do you say?"
Bai Ze was very interested in Yi Zi.
The offer he made at this moment
was even greater than what Fei Yi had previously offered Yi Zi.
Judging by his meaning,
as long as Yi Zi nodded,
Bai Ze and the demon race would not only overlook Yi Zi's killing of Demon General Fei Yi, but would also spare the humans of Luoyang.
Xuan Du and Sui Xiang stood off to the side.
Having just been fiercely rebuked by Yi Zi, their expressions had already been ugly.
Now, upon hearing the terms Bai Ze offered Yi Zi,
it was no longer merely a matter of ugly expressions.
Their faces
had turned so black they practically gleamed.
This was a naked slap to the face!
Bai Ze slapped them, then Yi Zi did too.
And after Yi Zi was done, Bai Ze continued slapping them.
They were powerful figures in their own right.
When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet no matter how humiliating it was,
neither of them could act up at this moment.
Once they had knelt,
how could they rise again so easily?
In terms of cultivation,
Xuan Du and Sui Xiang were even stronger than Yi Zi.
Yet before Yi Zi,
their presence was not even one ten-thousandth of his.
They had plainly been reduced to dust by comparison.
"No need!"
"Freedom and strength are things my human race can earn from heaven and earth through our own efforts. We have no need for the pity and charity of our enemies!"
Yi Zi looked at Bai Ze.
He showed not the slightest gratitude
for Bai Ze's regard.
As he looked at Bai Ze now,
his expression was no different from before.
It was not merely that his attitude toward Bai Ze had not changed from beginning to end.
It should be said that
Yi Zi now regarded Bai Ze exactly as he had regarded Fei Yi, and the other demon race invaders of the Divine Capital long before that.
It was an equal treatment that made no distinctions.
At first, Bai Ze
did not notice Yi Zi's attitude.
But once Yi Zi spoke those words,
Bai Ze looked at him again
and immediately came to understand him differently.
He sensed something familiar about Yi Zi.
What was it?
Bai Ze pondered,
then quickly came to a realization.
"Yi Zi carries a bearing similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor!"
Bai Ze sensed it
and understood what that familiar feeling from Yi Zi truly was.
It was clearly the domineering presence Di Jun and Tai Yi possessed, one that regarded the mighty powers of heaven and earth as nothing.
Only, Yi Zi's dominance was more restrained.
Thus, it appeared as an equality that treated all living beings without distinction.
But Bai Ze did not understand
why Yi Zi, a mere Great Luo,
could possess such bearing.
After all,
if one had never truly ascended to the summit,
how could one possess the mindset to look down upon all beings?
To be honest,
Bai Ze himself had never fully possessed such bearing.
The doubt flashed through Bai Ze's mind and vanished.
But that was not the key.
The key was that, after recognizing Yi Zi's bearing,
Bai Ze knew
that persuading Yi Zi to surrender
was simply impossible.
Since that was the case,
he did not bother wasting his effort.
"Yi Zi, I had never heard your name before."
"But today, I am willing to call you the foremost Great Luo of the human race!"
Bai Ze looked at Yi Zi and spoke slowly before sighing.
"Yet it is a pity. Though you, the foremost Great Luo of the human race, shine with boundless radiance, you can only flash by like a meteor!"
As he spoke,
a surging aura of Mana emerged from Bai Ze's body.
Immediately afterward,
countless spirits surged forth around Bai Ze.
They rushed in unison toward Yi Zi.
Every spirit figure
was in fact a heaven-shaking great divine ability.
Bai Ze
saw through the past and understood the future, surveying all under heaven to create Bai Ze's Spirit Bestiary Scroll.
