Chapter 473 The Battle of the Great Emperor

The Darkness Origin took its leave.

At this moment, the Innate Demon Infant was questioning existence itself.

Like, what gives?

Sure, he was a Celestial Lord in his previous life, but the Innate Demon Infant had had his fair share of dealings with Celestial Lords.

The Demon Ancestor was a Celestial Lord!

As a top-tier warrior of the Demon Clan, he was very familiar with Celestial Lords.

Even if it was a Celestial Lord reincarnating.

But his realm was only at the Nine Extremities Realm!

Seriously, what gives?

The Innate Demon Infant opened his eyes, noticing a crowd of Demon Clan warriors had gathered outside. As soon as news of Lu Ye’s demise reached them, they would return to the Nine Heavens.

The area outside the Nine Heavens was practically uninhabitable—desolate and with thin energy. In any place where the energy was rich, just stepping in could get you killed.

After all, there were no level restrictions outside the realm.

Great Dao Realm, Emperor, Quasi-Emperor? If they decided to kill you, they wouldn’t wait a second.

The Nine Heavens, on the other hand, was a good spot—energy-rich and safe.

But they were doubtful whether the Innate Demon Infant could actually kill Lu Ye.

Hopefully, he could…

Even if he couldn’t, at least he could retreat unscathed, right?

They couldn’t possibly be wiped out entirely, could they?

The Innate Demon Infant remained silent, confidently leading all the strong fighters of the Demon Clan to kill Lu Ye.

The result? They all died.

How was he supposed to explain this to the others in the Demon Clan?

Oh right, he was the Innate Demon Infant! If he just wiped out these Demon Clan members, he wouldn’t have to explain anything.

The Innate Demon Infant appeared before the gathered Demon Clan.

“Grand Ancestor, did we succeed?” a Demon Clan member asked eagerly.

The Innate Demon Infant merely smiled softly.

All the Demon Clan members felt a chill as they caught sight of that smile—oh no!

In the next second, all the Demon Clan members turned to dust.

He didn’t even need to lift a finger; with just a thought, all the Demon Clan members disintegrated.

“I was almost about to have to explain,” the Innate Demon Infant muttered to himself.

However, this failure made him reevaluate Lu Ye.

No wonder he’s a reincarnated Celestial Lord!

From now on, he had to get serious!

But how to deal with Lu Ye?

The Innate Demon Infant thought and thought, but couldn’t come up with anything!

Well, might as well go gobble up some kids for now!

Terrifying black clouds spread across the space beyond, carrying the massive aura of a Great Emperor as if to annihilate the world.

Wherever the black mist spread, all the children began to disappear.

Some strong warriors intervened to protect them, but the Innate Demon Infant didn’t bother confronting those guys; he was too busy devouring those who were unprotected.

Cries of mercy, screams, and desperate wails echoed throughout the realm.

The Great Emperor’s assault was just utterly despairing.

There wasn’t even a chance to resist.

It felt like the dark ages had returned.

But while he was devouring, another Great Emperor’s aura appeared.

“Innate Demon Infant, is this enough?”

A similar imperial might clashed against the black clouds.

The Innate Demon Infant smiled lightly.

“Not yet!”

In an instant, the black clouds broke apart, rushing swiftly in all directions.

“Seems like I need to have a little chat with you!”

“Come on, let’s see what this generation’s Great Emperor is made of!”

In a flash, the two Great Emperors clashed.

Suddenly, countless beams of sword light erupted, accurately shattering all the demonic energy.

“You think you’re hot stuff alone? Let me show you my sword!”

Another Great Emperor joined the fight.

The Innate Demon Infant…

This Great Emperor actually had some guts. If it were the dark ages, who would risk offending a powerful Great Emperor over a bunch of ants?

Now, as he just got started, two Great Emperors chose to act, without caring whether they’d offend him.

Plus, these two were from the thriving period of Great Emperors, especially the one wielding the sword.

He just got wrecked by Lu Ye, and now he’s getting wrecked outside, too.

It seemed like times had changed.

Currently, the Innate Demon Infant was all alone, and he noticed that not only were these two Great Emperors moving, but other Great Emperors were also starting to stir.

This was bad; he needed to retreat!

The very moment that thought crossed his mind, a thunderous shout shook the air, the void trembling.

A third Great Emperor entered the fray, and the aura exuded was full of murderous intent.

“Fellow Daoists, let’s kill him directly!”

The source of the killing intent was none other than Emperor Dao Hen.

“Soon, the Darkness Origin will certainly incite a dark upheaval. Since this Innate Demon Infant has appeared early, we might as well kill him now to lessen future burdens!”

Innate Demon Infant???

He was shocked and furious.

Are you all insane?

One Great Emperor I can deal with; two will take everything I’ve got, and three? I’ll have to fight for my life!

My life was already hanging by a thread; how can I fight now?

I’m not a martyr!

“Retreat!”

A single word appeared in the Innate Demon Infant’s mind.

A phoenix cry resounded as purple flames filled the sky; the fourth Great Emperor joined the battle.

“You guys are crazy!”

The Innate Demon Infant couldn’t help but curse loudly.

We’re all Great Emperors here; no one wants to end up with a grudge. But just because I showed my face, now four Great Emperors want to kill me?

“It’s been ages since a Great Emperor fell; let’s enjoy the show today!”

The fifth aura emerged.

Ding!

The Great Emperor from the era of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the Great Emperor from the post-Great Sage era were both from the same squad.

They directly spoke about letting the Innate Demon Infant drop here.

The power of the Great Emperors surged like a vast galaxy, crashing down upon the Innate Demon Infant.

The starry sky dimmed, the stars trembled.

The Dao was being obliterated!

The word “retreat” had transformed into “danger” in a mere moment.

The Innate Demon Infant was quickly covered in blood.

Emperor’s blood flowed profusely.

“Darkness, save me!”

The Innate Demon Infant roared.

But the Darkness Origin did not appear, and the Innate Demon Infant lost the will to fight, fleeing frantically, leaving trails of blood behind.

“Hahaha, satisfying! Chase him!”

Emperor Dao Hen laughed out loud.

At that moment, the Darkness Origin had just left Lu Ye’s side.

Hmm?

The Innate Demon Infant is in such a bad state?

“Great Emperor of Covering Heaven, do you want to lend a hand?” asked the Darkness Origin.

Great Emperor of Covering Heaven’s eyelids twitched.

“Um… I’m not good at fighting…”

Two against one, the Great Emperor of Covering Heaven might go down; now with five against him, he’d just be turned into a punching bag.

“So what now? Such foolishness, does the Innate Demon Infant not realize his limits and just start causing trouble? How to save him now?”

The Great Emperor of Covering Heaven pondered.

“The only way is to have the others shake off these five and take him into your body to cut off the Great Emperors’ detection.”

“What if I wake others up?”

“Do they want to wake up now?”

“How would I know? Forget it, I’ll give it a try!”

The Darkness Origin started trying to awaken other strong beings.

“Hey, the Innate Demon Infant is facing strong enemies, are you willing to wake up and help him?”

The summoned Great Emperors???

Are you kidding? Why would the Innate Demon Infant’s troubles concern me?

Nope, not waking up!

“Hey, the Innate Demon Infant is losing to someone right now. Are you willing to wake up and help him?”

Seriously? Him losing means nothing to me!

Not waking up!

“Hey…”
