Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Great Emperor Youming revealed a cold smile.
" Su Xiuyi, your heart is despicable!"
"But since we've come this far, I might as well tell you: in the ancient times, I, Youming, was able to become an unparalleled overlord. Do you think I relied solely on my cultivation level?"
"A person who becomes a hegemon solely through strength is a brute. Do you think a brute could have survived in that era, and still be alive today with so many followers? I, Youming, have survived to this day not only because of my formidable strength, but also because my wisdom and strategies are unmatched."
"My guiding principle is: I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me; everyone is merely a pawn in my game."
The Great Emperor Youming's voice was extremely cold. The expressions of everyone in the Youming Palace changed instantly, their faces filled with terror. Those who had managed to survive until now, even if they hadn't reached the realm of the Dharma Heaven and Earth, were not fools. Their figures instantly gathered together, watching the Great Emperor Youming Great Emperor Youming warily, preventing him from killing them.
" Your Great Emperor, we are willing to follow you forever."
One of them hurriedly spoke up, trying to buy some time.
However, the Great Emperor Youming's gaze fell upon them, his face full of mockery, as he walked step by step toward these powerful beings at the Law Realm.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, but I will carry your hopes with me as I step into the Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing the words of the Great Emperor Youming, these people instantly despaired, their faces filled with terror. Their gazes involuntarily fell upon Su Xiuyi, and they screamed, " Your Human Emperor, save us! We are willing to follow you and fight for the Human Race!"
" Your Human Emperor, save us!"
" Your Human Emperor..."
Within the Youming Palace, screams of terror erupted. The gazes of all the powerful beings at the Law Realm fell upon Su Xiuyi. Su Xiuyi, who was originally their enemy, had suddenly become their last lifeline, for she was now the only Su Xiuyi who could save them.
At this moment, these powerful beings at the Law Realm exchanged glances as they cried for help, then joined forces to attack the Great Emperor Youming. They knew they were no match for him, but they did not want to die.
However, at this moment, the Great Emperor Youming, who was about to attack these people, turned his back to Su Xiuyi and walked towards them step by step. There was no worry in the Great Emperor Youming's eyes, as if he was certain that Su Xiuyi would not make a move and had no defense against Su Xiuyi.
Just as the Great Emperor Youming had guessed, Su Xiuyi stood there, ignoring the cries for help, and coldly watched the carnage unfold before her.
In a short while, apart from Su Xiuyi and the Great Emperor Youming, there was no other living person in the main hall.
Covered in blood, the Great Emperor Youming slowly turned around, looking at Su Xiuyi with a mocking expression, and said, "You are truly cold-blooded, actually watching me slaughter them all. Didn't you say you would protect the Human Race? In your eyes, are they not Human Race, unworthy of your saving? Su Xiuyi, you are truly hypocritical, actually using my hands to kill all these people."
"Is it about killing someone by destroying their spirit?"
"Although these people are my pawns, after a hundred thousand years, I still have some feelings for them, and killing them is somewhat painful."
The Great Emperor Youming didn't wipe the blood off his body, but coldly looked at Su Xiuyi and said...
Hearing the Great Emperor Youming's words, Su Xiuyi did not refute them. Su Xiuyi was indeed using the Great Emperor Youming to kill these people. Su Xiuyi was also certain that the Great Emperor Youming would do so, because if these people Undying, the Great Emperor Youming's plan would have a flaw. A perfect plan, once a flaw appears, will no longer be perfect. Any flaw would cause the Great Emperor Youming to fail. Moreover, a ruthless and powerful figure would never allow the life and death of others to affect his own. Therefore, these people were already destined to die the moment Su Xiuyi opened her mouth.
Su Xiuyi didn't save them because Su Xiuyi had already given them a choice, but they didn't choose to submit.
Moreover, Su Xiuyi would not trust someone who was merely trying to survive.
Su Xiuyi stared at the Great Emperor Youming and sneered, "You demon, do you even feel sorry for me?"
"How hypocritical! Make your move!"
"After scheming for so long, and even after I exposed your plan, you didn't choose to join forces with them to kill me, but instead killed them first, striving for a perfect plan. It seems you were confident you could kill me."
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the blood-covered Great Emperor Youming sneered, "Although it's not a matter of one dying and the other living, but rather mutual destruction, it will leave a slight flaw and arouse suspicion among some people, but it's not bad either."
"As for killing you, I am absolutely certain, otherwise I would have lived for ten thousand years in vain."
"Even a pig that can cultivate wouldn't have this much strength after 100,000 years."
As the Great Emperor Youming's voice fell, the floor of the Youming Palace suddenly cracked open. The ice coffin, which had been sealed away, was summoned and burst open. Another Great Emperor Youming emerged and merged with the original Great Emperor Youming. The already terrifying Great Emperor Youming's aura became even more daunting.
" Su Xiuyi, aren't you going to make a move?"
The Great Emperor Youming said coldly, staring intently at Su Xiuyi, seemingly very angry.
But Su Xiuyi's face revealed a mocking smile, and she sneered, " Your Great Emperor Youming, is this interesting?"
" Your Present Body and Future Body have already merged. What are you hiding in your Past Body for? Do you still want to survive, hiding in the shadows like a rat?"
Su Xiuyi's voice wasn't loud, but the moment it rang out, Great Emperor Youming Su Xiuyi Great Emperor Youming's face turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected that Su Xiuyi would see through his plan again.
" Su Xiuyi, to be honest, I really dislike you, but I have immense respect for your methods. Even those ancient beings couldn't see through my hidden techniques, yet you saw right through me at a glance."
"There are not many people who can unite their Past Body, Present Body, and Future Body selves; even fewer know how to do it."
"But you have only lived for a little over a hundred years, yet you know, and even saw through my situation at a glance." The Great Emperor Youming did not speak for a moment, but his cold voice echoed in the hall. The next moment, a figure walked step by step towards the Great Emperor Youming in the void, his body shrouded in an aura of decay. This was the Great Emperor Youming's Past Body.
With the fusion of his three bodies, the Great Emperor Youming Great Emperor Youming's strength became even more terrifying, and at the same time, his face became extremely ferocious.
He stared at Su Xiuyi like a demon, his chilling killing intent sending shivers down one's spine.
A chilling aura erupted from the Great Emperor Youming's body, instantly turning the ground beneath their feet into ice. True Youming power slowly burst forth from the Great Emperor Youming Great Emperor Youming's body, making him terrifying beyond measure.
