Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 500: Nine Palaces Universe [Third Release]

Su Yie's consciousness gradually returned, and before he opened his eyes, he felt a tearing pain throughout his body, as if he were being skinned and deboned.

"Su kiddo, look where your recklessness got you—now you're in trouble, aren't you?"

Sword of Defeated Grudges coldly huffed in Su Yie's mind, allowing his memories to begin to recover.

He struggled to open his eyes, and what came into view was a scene of ruins—nothing but rubble all around.

He lay amidst the ruins, covered in blood, even his Primordial Yellow Robe had been blasted to pieces.

If not for the Primordial Yellow Robe, Su Yie's life might have been at risk.

Supported by his robust constitution, Su Yie's vitality was restoring, but he found himself completely immobilized for now.

He struggled to turn his head and saw Li Huahun lying about five meters away, equally miserable, blood-covered, and on first glance, like a lump of flesh and blood difficult to recognize.

"Are you dead?"

Su Yie spoke with difficulty, as in this condition, he couldn't even muster his Divine Sense to sense whether Li Huahun was alive or dead.

"If you're not… dead... how could I possibly… be… dead..."

Li Huahun replied weakly, the two of them were indeed brothers in misfortune.

If not for the Sword of Defeated Grudges and Zhou Wu Sword circling above their heads, the exotic beasts of the Fire Spirit Realm would have devoured them by now.

"Should we... call for help...?"

Su Yie asked again, as he couldn't move at all right now.

"Mmm..."

Li Huahun didn't arrogantly refuse, as in this state they could die at any moment.

Knowing this would happen, they should have tried to teleport away earlier.

However, with Li Huahun's pride, he certainly wouldn't have agreed to teleport before becoming such a sorry sight.

Within Emperor Su's Sect.

Su Yie: Li Huahun and I are on our knees, severely injured, someone come help us.

Ren Wokuang: Damn, is my big brother alright?

Ren Wolang: Coming now!

Ren Wopiao: Hold on!

Dugu Heavenly Clan: Yo, you little brat also capsized?

Tai Su Sword Lord: What did you guys encounter? Chaos Imperial Clan? Demon Court?

...

Soon, Ren Wokuang and his two brothers, along with Nan Xiaopao, teleported over, and as for the others, Su Yie declined their aid.

"What happened? How did you get injured like this?"

As Nan Xiaopao squatted in front of Su Yie, healing him with her mana, she sadly said, her eyes turning red.

She couldn't even bear to look at Su Yie.

This was definitely the worst she had ever seen Su Yie.

Seeing her, Su Yie's heart warmed up, making all pain seem irrelevant.

On the other side, Ren Wokuang, Ren Wolang, and Ren Wopiao were also helping Li Huahun recover.

"Big brother, what were you two doing to get yourselves into such a mess?"

"That's terrifying; if you died, our foster father would go insane."

"Who did you provoke?"

Facing the questions from the three brothers, Li Huahun had no strength to answer.

The Fire Spirit Realm was very dangerous, all beings who dared adventure here were by no means ordinary creatures. If discovered by other beings, what awaited them would be unimaginably cruel.

With the aid of Nan Xiaopao and the others, Su Yie and Li Huahun's injuries began to heal.

Nonetheless, they couldn't fully recover in a short period.

Nan Xiaopao suggested they teleport directly back to the Dustblade Sect, or follow Ren Wokuang and his brothers, but Li Huahun refused, and Su Yie did the same.

The Fire Spirit Realm was located on the edge of the Godly Ancestor Universe, and Su Yie's enemies were unlikely to notice this place.

But if he were to return, trouble would follow continuously, even burdening others.

As for Li Huahun, he simply did not want others to see him in such a wretched state.

"I can only accompany you for one day. If my master discovers I've left, she'll definitely be furious, and she might even forbid me from leaving her sight in the future."

Nan Xiaopao said helplessly, the Mistress of Fate was so powerful that in her anger, she might even turn her into a puppet.

Luckily for her, she had performed well, and the Mistress of Fate was quite satisfied, occasionally allowing her some rest.

Su Yie didn't try to detain her, saying, "That's okay, they are enough, and you should be careful as well."

He had heard of the means of the Mistress of Fate.

Legend had it that those who assumed the role of Fate Successor would have their seven emotions and six desires erased, and the Mistress of Fate had done just so.

Nan Xiaopao could only be considered an inheritor of the Fate Successor, so her emotions had not been erased by the Mistress of Fate, but Su Yie worried the Mistress would act against her.

Nan Xiaopao sighed, still lacking in strength.

A day passed quickly.

Su Yie was now able to sit up, but his injuries were still severe; his Taoist Fruit and Immortal Residence had both been depleted, leaving him without a trace of mana.

"What about next, how are you going to get back?"

Su Yie wiped off the blood seeping from his face again, asking in confusion.

He didn't know where the Mistress of Fate was located, and if it was too far away, he wouldn't feel reassured about her going back alone.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaopao smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a way to go directly back, so don't worry about it."

After speaking, she gently held Su Yie, not minding the blood on his face, their cheeks touching.

She whispered in Su Yie's ear, "Take care of yourself, don't get into such a mess again."

"I'm still waiting for you to marry me."

Su Yie's body stiffened, his heart bitter. Sometimes, he indeed did not consider Nan Xiaopao's feelings.

He didn't even dare to imagine what he would do if Nan Xiaopao had suffered such serious injuries.

Putting himself in her place, he shouldn't make those who cared about him worry.

As he remained silent, Nan Xiaopao got up and departed, vanishing after taking three steps as if she was utilizing the teleportation function of Emperor Su's Sect.

After her departure, Ren Wokuang and the others gathered around.

They kept teasing Su Yie, taking advantage of his serious injuries, as they weren't afraid of being scolded by him.

"Wait till I've recovered, and you'll be done for."

Su Yie, with his eyes closed, snorted coldly.

Ren Wokuang, Ren Wolang, and Ren Wopiao shivered with fright and quickly returned to Li Huahun's side.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Fire Spirit Realm.

The fiery Sky Dome suddenly ripped open a spatial rift, followed by two silhouettes stepping slowly inside.

The figure in front was a man clad in Silver Battle Armor. A red cape fluttered with the wind, his long hair was coiled beneath a crown, his face handsome, and his gaze intense. The dragon's head on his chestplate seemed as though it were alive.

Following him was a young general who was slightly shorter, dressed in bronze Iron Armor and carrying a spear much larger than his frame.

"General, it looks like the Fire Spirit Realm has just been through a catastrophe."

The young general expressed his confusion, frowning as he surveyed the Fire Spirit Realm for any dangers.

The Silver Armor-clad man said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter, our target is the Fire Spirit Core; we need not concern ourselves with the rest."

Hearing this, the young general laughed and said, "Although the Supreme Demon Emperor has been revived, he is gravely injured. The Nine Palaces Universe won't be making a comeback anytime soon. Why take such a risk?"

He looked at the man in Silver Armor with admiration, as if he were the strongest in the All Heavens Universe.

The man in Silver Armor, expressionless, replied, "Even without the threat of the Nine Palaces Universe, I must grow stronger. My upcoming duel with Yang Duzai is imminent, and I've heard he just had a breakthrough. I cannot lose; for the honor of Martial Dragon Hall, I must give it my all."

Having said this, he flew towards the ground.

The young general swiftly followed, laughing and said, "General, there's been a lot of talk about the strength of Emperor Su's Sect recently. Why don't you consider joining? Even Long Su of Divine Honor has joined, and it's said that joining Emperor Su's Sect doesn't require abandoning one's original power."
