Perhaps Gu Changsheng is the only one who truly knows Yun Wuyue's real purpose.
Whether it's Qijue or Chiyang, they both believe that Yun Wuyue's feigned death was merely to temper Yun Shuang and, incidentally, to eliminate dissidents. They haven't seen through the deeper layers.
Of course, this doesn't mean they are foolish; it only indicates that Yun Wuyue's image in their hearts is very lofty. Because the surface meaning was what Yun Wuyue told them, they unconditionally believed Yun Wuyue and didn't think about it on a deeper level.
At this moment, in the battlefield, the remaining four Demon Lords arrived at the edge of the battlefield, desperately resisting the terrifying energy. Yun Shuang and the others were also staring at the center of the explosion, where they could no longer see clearly, only able to discern the situation after the energy subsided.
"With such strong power, Tun Ling is probably dead, right?"
Yiling looked on with some trepidation. The power unleashed by the four Demon Lords using the Demonic Art of Dissolution was no exaggeration to call world-shattering. If she were in the midst of it, she would probably be instantly torn apart by the terrifying energy, her body and soul annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.
"Perhaps!" Qijue said softly.
"With such strong power, I don't understand how a Demon Lord could withstand it." Although Chiyang didn't directly say that Tun Ling had fallen, his words already represented his attitude. Tun Ling probably couldn't withstand it either.
"Not necessarily."
Yun Shuang said.
"Why?"
The other three were taken aback.
"Feeling," Yun Shuang replied.
"Feeling?"
They were stunned, but soon, they knew that Yun Shuang's feeling was right.
"He's not dead after all that?"
Yiling looked on in shock.
In the shattered void, the energy aftermath that was originally erupting outwards was now abnormally heading towards the center, as if something was devouring this energy.
Besides Tun Ling, who else would be devouring this energy?
Soon, Tun Ling's figure was revealed in the chaotic void. The armor on his body had disappeared, shattered by the powerful energy, and even his demonic body was riddled with holes and riddled with damage.
"That was really dangerous. A little more, and I would have died!"
A trace of luck flashed in Tun Ling's eyes, but he then smiled. "A blessing in disguise. My cultivation has advanced another step, and I'm not far from the Demon Emperor!"
After speaking, endless demonic energy surged from his body, repairing the wounds on his body. Then, he lightly tapped the void, creating something out of nothing. Soon, he put on a brand new set of armor.
"So strong!"
Tun Ling clenched his fists. The surge in strength gave him a feeling of being addicted to it.
"You're all that's left!"
Suddenly, Tun Ling turned his gaze to the remaining four Demon Lords, and the four Demon Lords immediately showed a look of panic.
"Tun Ling… No, Lord Tun Ling, I…"
A Demon Lord wanted to beg for mercy, but the next moment, Tun Ling had already appeared behind him, instantly devouring him.
"Begging for mercy now? Too late!" Tun Ling's eyes showed disdain. Previously, he didn't have the confidence to devour all the Demon Lords, so he gave them a chance, but now, his cultivation has advanced further, so of course he won't give them another chance.
Soon, everything about this Demon Lord was absorbed by Tun Ling, but Tun Ling frowned slightly, because he found that after he devoured a Demon Lord, whether it was the power in his body or the Dao and Dharma, there was no change at all.
This was something he had not anticipated.
Since his birth, he has cultivated the Great Dao of Devouring. Relying on the Great Dao of Devouring, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. Especially after entering the Demon Realm, after devouring countless demons, he successfully advanced to the Demon Lord.
Now, devouring a Demon Lord, he can't feel any change at all. This shows that if he wants to continue to improve his cultivation, he can't do it by devouring living beings alone.
Unless…
He looked at the Demon Emperor Palace.
Unless he can unify the Demon Realm and sit on the throne of the Demon Emperor, then he can use the luck of the Demon Realm to complete the final promotion and become a Demon Emperor who will shock the heavens and myriad realms.
So he was no longer interested in devouring the remaining three Demon Lords. Since there was no benefit, it was useless to devour them.
However, Tun Ling still said: "This seat will give you another chance. Respect me as your master and be driven by me, and this seat can spare your life."
Tun Ling even referred to himself as "this seat", which shows how confident he is at this moment.
To put it bluntly, he was inflated.
The remaining three Demon Lords looked at each other. Now, they have seen the gap between themselves and Tun Ling. The current Tun Ling is even stronger than Yun Wuyue who chased them back then. At least when they faced Yun Wuyue back then, they still had the power to fight back.
They could choose to submit to Yun Wuyue back then. Now Tun Ling is stronger than Yun Wuyue back then. Why not submit?
"We… Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The three Demon Lords knelt on one knee in the void, calling Tun Ling Your Majesty. The meaning was obvious. They recognized Tun Ling as the new Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm.
"Hahahaha… There is an ancient saying among the human race, called 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Today, this seat understands the meaning of this sentence. Not bad, not bad. Since you have submitted to this seat, then this seat will reward you with some power!"
As soon as the words fell, Tun Ling waved his hand, and three rays of demonic light entered the bodies of the three Demon Lords, and the faces of the three Demon Lords suddenly changed drastically.
However, Demon Lord Tun Ling said: "This seat does not trust you, but this is both a restriction and power. You can feel it carefully."
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the three Demon Lords sank their minds into their bodies and found that the power in their bodies was stronger than before, and their strength was three points stronger than before.
This made them feel a little relieved.
"Don't worry, if you honestly work for this seat, this seat will not treat you badly. After this seat unifies the Demon Realm and is promoted to the Demon Emperor, I will wage war against the outside world. There are many worlds in the heavens and myriad realms, but there are very few experts like the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor. If you are honest, this seat doesn't mind letting you rule a great world in the future and use the luck of the great world to help you become emperors."
Tun Ling naturally understood the principle of giving a stick and then a carrot. If he wanted to make these Demon Lords sincerely submit, the most important thing besides powerful force was to rely on benefits.
"We will definitely follow Your Majesty to the death!"
Regardless of whether Tun Ling was drawing a big cake or not, they had to eat it now.
"Hahaha, good. Now, follow this seat to attack the Demon Emperor Palace and capture Yun Shuang and Qijue and his disciples alive. I want them to become my imperial consorts!"
Tun Ling was high-spirited. With a wave of his hand, he brought the three Demon Lords to the Demon Emperor Palace and looked at Yun Shuang and the others.
"Yun Shuang, now that things have come to this, are you still going to resist?" Tun Ling was very confident at the moment. Even if Yun Shuang had the Demon Emperor Palace as his backing, he was still not afraid.
Yun Shuang ignored Tun Ling, but seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be asking the people next to him: "Now Tun Ling is the strongest state, if I suppress him now, will Daddy praise me for being powerful?"
"What are you talking about?"
As a strong man who has understood the meaning of the ultimate, Tun Ling has already transcended the scope of the Demon Lord and is not far from the Demon Emperor Realm. In addition, with his cautious character, after hearing Yun Shuang's words, for some reason, he suddenly had an ominous feeling.
This premonition became stronger and stronger from the moment it appeared.
He wanted to escape.
Because this premonition appeared in the mortal world. At that time, he escaped from the mortal world, and soon after, he learned that a heaven-defying strong man had appeared in the mortal world and sealed the original Demon Lord in the posture of an Immortal King.
Countless years later, this premonition struck again, and he did not hesitate at all…
Escape!
"Rumble!"
He tried to break through the blockade of the Dream God Realm with his ultimate power, but he was horrified to find that his proud power could not shake it at all.
"Want to escape?"
Yun Shuang sneered. She slowly raised her hand, stretched out a slender and white finger, and pointed at Tun Ling's figure in the void.
"Bang!"
The Demon Emperor Palace shot out a ray of demonic light and landed on Tun Ling. Tun Ling, who had understood the meaning of the ultimate and could kill the Demon Lord in seconds, his demonic body was instantly pierced.
Tun Ling coughed up blood and his eyes were full of disbelief.
The three Demon Lords who had just submitted to Tun Ling suddenly widened their eyes and were also full of disbelief.
Tun Ling, who regarded the Demon Lord as food, was actually injured?
How is this possible?
Is Yun Shuang so strong?
Is the Demon Emperor Palace so strong?
If they had known that Yun Shuang and the Demon Emperor Palace were so strong, they would not have dared to betray them back then.
Or, they should have attacked the Dream God Realm at all costs as soon as Yun Shuang returned to the Demon Realm. At that time, Yun Shuang was still a Demon King and could not be so strong at all.
Suddenly, they turned their eyes to Chiyang.
Chiyang faced their gazes calmly, with a sneer on his lips.
The reason why these traitors did not attack the Dream God Realm as soon as Yun Shuang returned to the Demon Realm was naturally all thanks to him.
"Tun Ling, with you, you still want to become a Demon Emperor? You still want us to become your imperial consorts, where do you get the confidence?" Yun Shuang's face was frosty at the moment, and it was impossible not to care about Tun Ling's words. After all, she was a virgin.
"You are just trial opponents arranged for me by the Mother Emperor, do you really think that the Mother Emperor will fall?"
"You… What do you mean?" Tun Ling looked at Yun Shuang.
Yun Shuang chuckled, and then said loudly: "Mother Emperor, I know you must be watching secretly, these wastes are not my opponents, come out!"
"Shuang'er, you are floating!"
A clear but domineering voice sounded, and everyone's face changed.
Tun Ling and the three Demon Lords suddenly turned ashen.
After hearing this voice, Tun Ling's mind was like a key that opened his dusty memory.
…
