"Don't worry. This time, they'll come and never return."
Earth Demon Emperor's tongue was long, like a snake's flickering tongue, nearly able to lick his own ears. His eyes were no longer the original beast pupils, but pupils resembling honeycombs, containing countless compound eyes. Under his gaze, Ye Chen and the other two felt as though they had been placed inside a maze, with everything around them drifting away.
"What a formidable eye technique."
Empress Xuan's delicate brows lifted. An unfathomably mysterious aura spread outward, and under its interference, the illusionary realm of the eye technique that had been eroding reality was immediately forced out.
"What kind of domain is this?"
Earth Demon Emperor put away his carelessness. He was not skilled at frontal combat; what he excelled at were soul attacks and all manner of illusions.

The Ten Thousand Insects Black Fiend Emperor spoke of was Earth Demon Emperor. As body-snatchers, they had devoured the original personalities. The one who had taken Silent Extinction Demon Emperor's body was called Tian Xie, the one who had taken Golden Turtle Ancestor's body was called Golden Fiend, Ten Thousand Insects was Earth Demon Emperor, and Black Fiend Emperor was called Evil Hand.
"Hmph, she merely broke my Compound-Eye Gaze. In a while, I'll let her know what it means to crave life yet yearn for death."
