Chapter 1339, Leading Reinforcements into the Secret Realm

In order not to reveal his true intentions, Yi Shuihan continued to pretend, and it took him a while to recover his composure.

Yi Shuihan was still pale, but he looked much better than when he first appeared, and the Chaos Emperors around him also gathered around.

"Kid, tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Why are you the only one who came out, or did you come out early?"

An elderly man whom Yi Shuihan did not recognize appeared slightly anxious, probably worried about his juniors in the secret realm.

Those who can enter the secret realm are treasures of various forces, and some are even direct descendants of the Chaos Emperors. If something really happens, these Chaos Emperors who lead the teams will have a hard time explaining themselves.

"Don't rush, let's start from the beginning. We're not short of time."

This was a middle-aged beauty. Yi Shuihan remembered that she was the leader of the Natural Alliance. Her voice contained a power that could calm all living beings, probably to help Yi Shuihan calm down, but little did she know that Yi Shuihan didn't need it at all.

"It's like this, everything was fine at first, but after we entered the secret realm..."

Most of what Yi Shuihan said was true, except for the matter of the Corruption Demon. After all, he wouldn't know the Corruption Demon without the system. He said that after he became the Chaos Emperor, his spiritual sense alerted him, so he went out to take a look, encountered the evil spirit, broke into it, and saw the Corruption Demon sealed inside. In the end, he had a lot of effort to escape and break through the encirclement to get outside.

Yi Shuihan had no intention of hiding his Chaos Emperor realm from the beginning, but when he revealed it, he was met with a chorus of shocked gazes.

"Good, good, good! As expected of the genius who won first place in our school's competition, he has broken through to the Chaos Emperor level in such a short time."

Upon learning that Yi Shuihan had broken through to the Chaos Emperor realm, the True Eye Emperor praised Yi Shuihan highly, and the way he looked at Yi Shuihan completely changed.

Not only the True Eye Emperor, but all the Chaos Emperors present looked at Yi Shuihan with goodwill, and most of them were not particularly fond of Yi Shuihan when they first met him.

"Lord True-Eye Emperor, do you know what the monster sealed within is?"

"Now that you've broken through, you can call me True Eye Bro from now on. As for the monster you saw, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Corruption Demon, Baki. You're an expert in this area, so tell me your opinion."

“I also think that thing is a Corruption Demon, but we can’t be completely sure until we see it. You know what a Corruption Demon represents. Every Corruption Demon occupies an important position among demons. Every move of the known Corruption Demons in the myriad worlds is monitored. Their existence ties up most of our demon-slaying army. If the one in the secret realm is really a Corruption Demon, then we absolutely cannot let it continue to live.”

Baki-Oh's expression was solemn. As a member of the Demon Extermination Army, he understood demons better than other Chaos Emperors, and he also knew the terrifying power of the Corruption Demon, who held a top position among demons.

Once, a massive invasion by evil forces occurred. On that occasion, only five corrupting demons were triggered, yet the demon-slaying army suffered nearly half its casualties. Countless True Saints were killed or wounded, and even more than a dozen Chaos Emperors perished. If it weren't for the appearance of the Great Dao Emperor in the end, the demon-slaying army would probably have disappeared into history by now.

The Corruption Demon has grown to its limit, and only the most powerful Chaos Emperors can deal with it. A single Corruption Demon can even create hundreds of Chaos Emperor-level demons. Although those Chaos Emperor-level demons are weaker than Chaos Emperors of the same strength, their numbers are enough to overwhelm them.

If it weren't for the difficulty in raising the level of the Corruption Demon, and the fact that there isn't a single one at the Great Dao Emperor level, the myriad realms would definitely not be so peaceful now, and the demonic forces would not be in a state of suppression.

According to information obtained by the Demon Extermination Army, the demonic forces currently possess a total of eight Corruption Demons, all of which are in a dormant state in preparation for evolution. Once one of them evolves to the Great Dao Emperor level, a full-scale war will await all the heavens and myriad realms.

Currently, demons hold the advantage at levels below the Chaos Emperor level. To be honest, the Chaos Emperor level also holds the advantage due to the existence of the Corruption Demon. However, because the Great Dao Emperors hold the advantage in all the heavens and myriad realms, they have not been successfully invaded by demons.

The one who comes after the Great Dao Emperor is in a state of true transcendence. Even true monsters like demons are extremely difficult to be born in such a state; at least, none have ever appeared so far.

Of course, the absence of appearance does not mean absence. The general explanation is that the evil side has a supporter, but because there are also beings in the myriad realms, the two sides are in a state of balance.

Baki-oh repeatedly questioned Yi Shuihan about his encounter with the Corruption Demon, and finally decided to personally enter the secret realm to investigate. Accompanying him were five Chaos Emperors, including True Eye Emperor.

These six Chaos Emperors were no ordinary Chaos Emperors. At least in Yi Shuihan's perception, he could at most fight the weakest one.

With such a lineup, dealing with hundreds of Chaos Demons would be a piece of cake, and handling the situation Yi Shuihan described would be no problem at all.

In fact, Yi Shuihan's idea was for all the Chaos Emperors to enter, but only a portion of them. However, the reality was that if a large number of Chaos Emperors entered, the secret realm would not be able to withstand it and would collapse.

As for the Chaos Emperor-level demons in the secret realm, it only means that the secret realm's self-defense mechanism is ineffective against them. Demons themselves devour everything to nourish themselves, and under the erosion of the Corrupting Demon, the secret realm's own mechanism can probably ignore the existence of the demons.

At Yi Shuihan's insistence, Yi Shuihan was also taken into the secret realm. His claim was that he was familiar with the secret realm and could lead the way. This was not a valid argument, since everyone was a Chaos Emperor and it would be easy to find the place as long as they had a general direction.

In the end, Yi Shuihan was able to re-enter the secret realm as he wished, after all, he was a newly broken Chaos Emperor with a bright future!

Yi Shuihan's talent ultimately brought him some special treatment. At his age, he had the potential to climb to a higher realm after breaking through to the Chaos Emperor level. People didn't mind investing in Yi Shuihan and giving him some face.

"I'm back. Are you ready to die?"

Returning to the secret realm as a guide, Yi Shuihan hid behind the six Chaos Emperors, his heart filled with pride. Without a word, he closed the gate and released the Chaos Emperors.

Chapter 1340, The Vanished Corrupting Demon

"It really is a demon!"

Baki looked at the densely packed demons with disgust, and without saying anything, he immediately attacked.

The other Chaos Emperors also found their opponents one after another. Demons and cultivators from all the heavens and myriad realms are naturally on the opposite side, and they will never communicate if they can kill each other.

“Yi Shuihan, your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so just stay here and watch over them. This will also help you deal with the demons below the Chaos Emperor level.”

The True Eye Emperor still cares about Yi Shuihan and doesn't want him to get involved in danger again.

Yi Shuihan readily accepted the True Eye Emperor's kindness, promising to develop his strength discreetly.

The strength of veteran emperors like the True Eye Emperor is indeed not to be underestimated. Each of them easily dealt with Chaos Emperors and Demons several times their size, gaining a significant advantage.

The battle situation was clear: the demons were at a disadvantage and would be wiped out sooner or later.

While a fierce battle erupted at the entrance to the secret realm, the Corruption Demon, sealed within the pyramid, also sensed the battle and the danger, and took action.

The inky black aura that should have been spreading outwards instantly reversed and contracted in its direction. At the same time, the demons also returned to their origins, seemingly through some kind of sacrifice, allowing the Corrupting Demon to gain some of its power.

The Corruption Demon is gathering power; it needs to completely break the seal. The existence of the seal still has a great impact on it. As long as the seal exists, it has no way out and can only passively fight back. But if the seal is completely broken, it will be able to advance or retreat freely.

Originally, the Corruption Demon intended to completely corrupt the secret realm first, and then use the power of the secret realm to break free in one fell swoop. In that way, it could not only recover the energy it consumed in the seal, but also go further.

Now, because of the appearance of Baki-Oh and his group, the Corruption Demon has abandoned its original plan and intends to forcibly break the seal first. As a result, the energy it has consumed cannot be fully recovered, and it will still be in a weak period.

The Corruption Demon wasn't afraid of Blade Fang Emperor and the others; it mainly knew that once the myriad realms knew of its existence, they would certainly not let it live. At that time, they would send a large number of Chaos Emperors, or even a Great Dao Emperor, and it would surely die.

The great battle of the Chaos Emperors, and even the actions of the Corruption Demons, were completely unknown to the Emperor Father and the other quasi-emperors, who were still focused on breaking through to the next level.

Because of the mysterious energy within the chaotic energy, their cultivation effects are becoming weaker and weaker, and they can basically only rely on themselves to break through, which is a disaster for those quasi-emperors with exceptional talents.

Especially those aspiring emperors who had been taught a lesson by Yi Shuihan, their psychological trauma was not so easy to overcome. In addition, the chaotic energy was no longer effective, so they were all extremely irritable, like a powder keg that would explode at the slightest provocation.

......

"What's going on here?"

O'Neill, the Lord of the Stars, had been searching for another Fountain of Satisfaction in order to escape the Yi Shui Han. By chance, he came to a region corrupted by the Corruption Demon and saw the desolate land.

It was also his luck that the Corruption Demon made its energy-recovery move at that moment, and all the evil spirits had returned to their origins. Otherwise, he would be surrounded by evil spirits by now.

As a member of the Main God Space, and at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, O'Neill knew about demons, but based on the desolate land before him, he couldn't immediately connect it with demons.

Things were unusual, with risks and opportunities. Driven by curiosity, O'Neal began heading towards the pyramids, going further and further down the path of self-destruction.

The entrance area of ​​the secret realm,

With the last demon killed, the battle finally came to an end.

"Yi Shuihan, lead the way. It should have noticed our arrival. We absolutely cannot let it escape."

Baki-Oh's expression was solemn. From the strength of the demons he had fought, he could understand the strength of the Corruption Demon itself. He knew that if this Corruption Demon was not simple, and if it recovered, there would be big trouble.

In order to reach the seal as quickly as possible, Emperor Baki took out a warship, a treasure even among the demon-slaying army, specifically designed for rapid travel. It was extremely fast and could only be used by Chaos Emperors. Once a warship was used, it could unleash the user's speed several times over. However, using this warship was also a significant drain on a Chaos Emperor, and they generally wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Driven by Baki-Oh, the warship's speed was simply off the charts. Yi Shuihan estimated that this speed was about 30 times that of his full speed.

"Weren't there quite a few demons along the way? Where did they all go!"

On the warship, Yi Shuihan voiced his doubts.

"The Corruption Demon can recycle the demons it created, thus gaining a temporary boost in strength. Generally, it only does this in critical moments, because doing so is equivalent to a potential explosion for it, which will cause some damage to itself. It should have already sensed our arrival. According to what you said before, it has not completely broken the seal yet. Its eagerness to recycle power means it is planning to break free completely."

As expected of someone from the Demon Extermination Army, Baki-Oh immediately analyzed the situation with remarkable accuracy.

Three months later,

Yi Shuihan and his group finally arrived in front of the pyramid, but the pyramid had already collapsed more than half of its original size, and the Corruption Demon was nowhere to be found.

"Damn it, we're too late, it's already escaped."

Baki-Oh put away his warship, his expression grim. Part of the reason was that the warship had been severely damaged, and another part was the escape of the Corruption Demon.

"This is troublesome. The Corruption Demon is very good at hiding. Even for us, unless we see it with our own eyes, we won't be able to detect it no matter how close we are."

While Baki and the others were frustrated, Yi Shuihan's expression was rather strange, because he could actually sense the location of the Corruption Demon.

“True Eye, go and bring all the quasi-emperors out of the secret realm. We will all return to the entrance of the secret realm and wait for them to escape. We absolutely cannot let it leave.”

"Wait! I think I know where it is!"

Yi Shuihan's words left all the Blade Kings staring at him in astonishment, their eyes clearly filled with doubt. After all, in their view, no matter how strong Yi Shuihan's talent was, it was still just talent, and it certainly couldn't compare to theirs now. How could Yi Shuihan do something that even they couldn't do?

Chapter 1341, Group Battle Against the Corrupting Demon

"Yi Shuihan, do you know what you're saying? This is not the time for jokes!"

Although True Eye Emperor was blaming Yi Shuihan on the surface, Blade Fang Emperor and the others could tell that he was actually protecting Yi Shuihan. If Yi Shuihan admitted that he was joking, the matter would be dropped.

“I know what I’m talking about, and I really know where it is.”

Yi Shuihan was slightly taken aback, and felt a warmth in his heart at the True Eye Emperor's protection, but he could only disappoint the True Eye Emperor's kindness.

“Let him speak. Don’t worry, even if we don’t find it, we certainly won’t blame him. Without him, we wouldn’t even know the existence of the Corrupting Demon. If he hadn’t risked his life to break through, our disciples would probably have been wiped out. Then this secret realm would have been completely corrupted, and the situation would have been even worse.”

“Baki is right, we won’t be so stingy.”

With Baki-sama's statement, Shin-gan-sama's expression relaxed considerably.

“It’s right here!”

Yi Shuihan pointed to the location of the seal.

The Chaos Emperors looked in the direction Yi Shuihan pointed, but found nothing. Even Blade Fang Emperor's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he felt a little disappointed in Yi Shuihan.

The True Eye Emperor glared fiercely at Yi Shuihan, and was about to say something to lighten the mood when Yi Shuihan spoke again.

"It's thousands of miles underground; let me force it out."

The sound pierced the earth and spread to the surroundings. Before Yi Shuihan could make a move after speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

Boom boom!

boom!

The ground exploded, and a beam of black light shot out from the ground and into the sky.

"Kid, how did you find me?"

The Corruption Demon's body occupied most of the sky, blotting out the sun, and exuded a terrifying aura that was stronger than any of the Chaos Emperors present.

After the Corruption Demon appeared, Baki and the others realized they had wronged Yi Shuihan and felt a little guilty. However, all their emotions were quickly suppressed, and they became wary of the Corruption Demon. The Corruption Demon's power was beyond Baki and the others' expectations. Even in a weakened state, it had such power. They did not have much of an advantage, and it was not impossible for them to be wiped out if they were not careful.

"How did you find out? I'm not telling you."

The Corruption Demon's pressure was almost entirely directed at Yi Shuihan, but Yi Shuihan felt nothing at all. He was no ordinary Chaos Emperor; he had the system as his backing, even though the system was currently being updated.

"It was a mistake to reveal my hiding place. You could have left and survived if you had just left. Now, stay here!"

A fierce glint flashed in the Corruption Demon's eyes, and countless black beams of light suddenly appeared in the void, bombarding Yi Shuihan and the others.

The earth was instantly covered in ravages, and the ground within a radius of tens of thousands of miles collapsed by more than a hundred meters.

"Is it okay!"

The True Eye Emperor asked Yi Shuihan with concern, as they were already tens of thousands of miles away.

Just a moment ago, the True Eye Emperor's eyes flashed mysteriously, and runes that even Yi Shuihan couldn't understand appeared in his pupils. Then, they shifted space and escaped the bombardment.

"It can even use space transformation, that's amazing."

Yi Shuihan shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but he was also amazed by the power of the True Eye Emperor's move. He knew that even he couldn't use spatial abilities in the secret realm, but the True Eye Emperor could. Putting aside other aspects, this alone made him stronger than him.

This fact brought Yi Shuihan back to a normal state of mind after his arrogance following his breakthrough to the Chaos Emperor realm. He was truly just a newcomer to the Chaos Emperor realm and still needed to continue to mature. He must not be arrogant or complacent.

"Don't join the battle, lest you get caught in the crossfire. If we are no match for you, you can leave first and go outside to inform the other emperors."

The True Eye Emperor gave this instruction, and spatial fluctuations appeared as he disappeared from his original spot.

The True Eye Emperor reappeared in front of the Corruption Demon, its body parallel to the Demon's head.

"The Great Way manifests as the true eye, punishing and extinguishing all things."

Behind the True Eye Emperor, a gigantic eye appeared, an eye far more terrifying than the Heavenly Punishment Eye that Yi Shuihan had once seen.

Just looking into those eyes, Yi Shuihan felt a pang of fear, as if those eyes, if they so desired, could see him into nothingness with a single glance.

Of course, Yi Shuihan knew this was an illusion; the eyes weren't that powerful, and killing him wouldn't be so easy. But even so, it was enough to demonstrate its strength.

After the eyes appeared, a blue lamp suddenly appeared to burn within the body of the Corrupting Demon.

What was burning was the Corruption Demon's cultivation and its body. Under the burning blue lamp, the Corruption Demon couldn't help but let out a painful roar.

Countless tentacles emerged from the Corrupting Demon's body and stabbed towards the True Eye Emperor. If the True Eye Emperor were to be stabbed, it would probably turn into a hedgehog.

Unfortunately, the True Eye Emperor is not the only opponent of the Corruption Demon.
