Chapter 641: Chapter 612: Semi-Saint Supreme Treasure
"Your Majesty misunderstands, this venerable self has always been of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan, so there is no talk of betrayal."
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Demon Emperor’s expression softened slightly: "Since there is no betrayal, this Emperor will not hold against you your earlier actions. Now you shall join me in dealing with the cultivators of the Lower Realm.
Once this battle is over, you shall return with me to the clan!"
As for Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, the Celestial Demon Emperor did have some impression.
Eons ago, the other was merely a twelfth-tier True Immortal, and when Demon Venerable Xuan Yin stayed in the Lower Realm, he thought that this one had already perished.
Unexpectedly.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin not only didn’t die.
His cultivation had also advanced significantly.
That strike just now possessed a power not weaker than a Semi-Saint.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin said indifferently, "When the time is ripe in the future, this venerable self will naturally return to the Ancient Celestial Demon clan, but right now, this venerable self is a Divine Court Tributor of Cyan Yang and should fight for the Divine Court.
For the sake of belonging to the same clan, I don’t wish to fight with Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will lead the clan’s cultivators to leave and not participate in this battle."
Upon these words.
The Celestial Demon Emperor’s face instantly turned cold.
"This means, you still are determined to betray our clan!"
"Such words are wrong, the Ancient Celestial Demon clan has never been one that a single cultivator can represent, just as Your Majesty can only represent yourself, not the entire Ancient Celestial Demon clan.
What this venerable does is all for the future of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan, how can it be called betrayal.
At most, it’s just that this venerable doesn’t follow Your Majesty’s orders!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin smiled calmly, entirely disregarding the fury of the Celestial Demon Emperor.
The times have changed.
Eons ago, the Celestial Demon Emperor in his eyes was an unreachable existence.
As the Emperor of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan, the Celestial Demon Emperor’s strength had already stepped into the semi-saint level.
But now.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin is no longer comparable to eons ago.
Three thousand years in the Kunlun Divine Realm allowed his cultivation to reach the fifteenth-tier perfection, not to mention his combat power had also reached the semi-saint level.
This was all due to the Divine Kingdom.
An endless supply of elixirs, while also being able to train and fight in the simulation of the Divine Kingdom.
The Celestial Demon Emperor before him was once a training target for Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, and he knew his methods well.
It is for this reason.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had the confidence to face the Celestial Demon Emperor.
"Well, well, well, it seems you are determined to betray, do you really think you have the qualifications to contend with this Emperor!"
The Celestial Demon Emperor laughed angrily, a demonic flame surged around him, as if the phantom of a peerless Demon God was gathering, and suddenly the other made a ferocious move, a hand gathered with endless demonic flame struck down.
This strike.
The Celestial Demon Emperor struck out in anger.
With power comparable to a Semi-Saint, yet it didn’t cause Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s face to show any change.
The reason is simple.
He was all too familiar with the Celestial Demon Emperor’s methods.
Only to see Demon Venerable Xuan Yin casually unleash a Blood Shadow Demon Blade, this secret technique had undergone his own cultivation and deduction, already breaking through its original limits and reaching an unprecedented height.
With blood-colored blade light cutting through the void, when it collided with the flaming hand, it seemed to find a flaw, the Celestial Demon Emperor’s angry blow was surprisingly dissolved directly on the spot.
Seeing the remaining blood-colored cold light slice forward, the Celestial Demon Emperor was shocked, hastily urging Gang Qi to defend, only then completely neutralizing the power of this strike.
The next breath.
Before the Celestial Demon Emperor could be too shocked, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin stepped into the air, Blood Shadow Demon Blade spanning the Azure Sky, densely packed blood-colored cold lights blasted towards him, each cold light seemed to seal off all his retreat and flaws, making the Emperor of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan feel an immense threat.
"How can this be!"
The Celestial Demon Emperor was shocked.
Originally thinking that no matter how strong Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s strength was, he couldn’t be a match for him, he didn’t expect that the other’s foundation was not only so terrifying but also as if he could see through his essence.
This situation made the Celestial Demon Emperor quite uncomfortable.
Seeing the sky full of blood-colored cold light slicing forward, he directly summoned the Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan — the Celestial Demon Banner!
The moment the black small banner appeared, it transformed into a size of millions of miles, the black banner enveloped, protecting even the body of the Celestial Demon Emperor within.
The next breath.
The power of the blood-colored cold light had already arrived.
The Celestial Demon Banner trembled.
But the power of this strike, after all, was blocked.
Subsequently.
The Celestial Demon Emperor once again urged the power of the Supreme Treasure, only to see the Celestial Demon Banner standing in the void, from which an Ancient Demon God walked out, overwhelming demonic flame spanning the void, causing Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s expression to change slightly.
"Celestial Demon Banner!"
He wasn’t unfamiliar with this Supreme Treasure.
In his days in the Ancient Celestial Demon clan, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had already heard of the renowned Celestial Demon Banner, which was the town-clan Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan.
In terms of rank.
The Celestial Demon Banner is considered a Semi-Saint treasure.
It was a supreme treasure personally refined by a Saint of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan in the past.
In the simulation of the Divine Kingdom, the Celestial Demon Emperor was somewhat different from reality, after all, the former wouldn’t use the power of the Supreme Treasure, only responding with his own methods.
Now seeing the Celestial Demon Emperor directly summoning a Semi-Saint Supreme Treasure, made Demon Venerable Xuan Yin feel immense pressure.
However.
Despite the pressure.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was not afraid.
"What of a Semi-Saint Supreme Treasure, this venerable can still cut you down!"
He took a step, the Blood Shadow Demon Blade suddenly coalescing, Dao Rules swirling around the Sword Gang, completely engaging in battle with the Ancient Demon God.
"Boom!"
"Rumble——"
The galaxy was shattered.
In the void, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s body was majestic like a star, the edge of the Blood Shadow Demon Blade was fully displayed, while the Celestial Demon Emperor fully urged the power of the Celestial Demon Banner, the demonic might of the Ancient Demon God overwhelming.
The more the battle!
The more the Celestial Demon Emperor was astonished!
He originally thought that by summoning the Celestial Demon Banner, subduing Demon Venerable Xuan Yin would definitely not be a problem, but he didn’t expect that the other’s foundation had accumulated to such an extent.
If not for having the Celestial Demon Banner in hand, he would have already been on the verge of defeat.
Even with the Celestial Demon Banner now, it could only barely suppress Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.
No matter how the Celestial Demon Emperor pondered, he could never figure out why the other could reach where he was, staying in the barren Lower Realm.
Moreover.
The powerhouses in the Lower Realm weren’t as simple as just Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.
Three thousand fifteenth-tier cultivators, among whom many were comparable to Semi-Saint and Quasi-Immortal King existence.
Such powerhouses.
Even in the Upper Realm’s Three Thousand Cosmos, they were rare.
Thus.
The Celestial Demon Emperor could conclude that the Lower Realm must have a secret and it was very likely related to those Supreme Treasures sought by top powerhouses in eons past.
With this thought.
The Celestial Demon Emperor’s heart was equally fervent.
The reason the Ancient Celestial Demon clan joined the battle was just to seize the opportunity for a share of the spoils.
If he himself could obtain this chance, there might truly be an opportunity to break through to the sixteenth tier, becoming the second Saint powerhouse of the Ancient Celestial Demon clan.
