Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 622 They Are Also Waiting

The area was shrouded in mist, and no one could see the state of the battle. Even the White Emperor couldn't see through it. She revealed a look of surprise. "Heaven Insight Body."

Many great demons were converging, arriving at this place.

A few Demon Lords held Emperor Weapons, yet they dared not act rashly.

The power of Heavenly Fortune Tao was intense, permeating the air with strands of mighty power. Coupled with the Heroic Spirits summoned from ancient times, heaven and earth fell silent for a moment, and all sounds ceased.

The same was true even for the battlefield deep within Dayan.

A man and a demon quietly exchanged words…

Discussing karma, questioning life and death—this was the Demon Emperor's final act of defiance.

He knew that behind Chen Pingping, a powerful entity had to be standing. Otherwise, Chen Pingping couldn't possibly have intimidated the Masters of the Ancient City. He wouldn't have been able to face the entire Demon Race of the Northern Border, nor could he, with such strength, suppress him—an Emperor Realm powerhouse.

But when karma was mentioned, a casual remark from Chen Pingping made the Demon Emperor involuntarily spit blood.

Chen Pingping was not afraid.

Like the imperial sovereign of old, Chen Pingping had also performed many heaven-defying deeds, yet he did not fear karma. Perhaps it was because he cultivated the Six Tao of Reincarnation, or perhaps... that entity behind him was powerful enough to block even the mysterious and unpredictable forces of karma.

Of course, these profound and inexplicable matters were too far removed from Chen Pingping; he couldn't touch upon them, and thus had no basis to discuss them.

Then, the discussion turned to life and death.

The stubborn Demon Emperor was unwilling to concede; if he were to die, he wanted Chen Pingping to live in fear.

Chen Pingping did not speak, just quietly watched him.

The Demon Emperor then said, "Today, even if you slay this emperor, you cannot escape the slaughter from 'the Masters'."

"The Masters you're referring to... are they the people deep within the Ancient City?" Chen Pingping asked.

"Yes!" the Demon Emperor declared. "Otherwise, why do you think this emperor could exterminate the Demon Emperor Clan? Occupy the lands of the Northern Border for a hundred thousand years? That is the source of this emperor's confidence."

The strength of the Demon Emperor Clan was not something a single Emperor Realm expert could overcome.

They possessed far too many powerful trump cards, including a half-stick of incense; if lit, it could summon ancient Heroic Spirits. Even Emperor Realm powerhouses wouldn't dare act rashly against such power.

Yet, the Demon Emperor had somehow managed to drive the Demon Emperor Clan out of the Northern Border and had been eradicating them, root and branch, for many years.

The primary reason was that he had backing.

Before Chen Pingping could speak, the Demon Emperor's gaze turned somewhat bleak and crazed as he continued, "They will eventually descend and erase everything with their absolute, mighty power because they need a compliant puppet. And you... as a member of the imperial lineage, your very stance is wrong. If 'the Masters' descend, you will be the first to die."

What he found tragic was that a dignified Emperor Realm powerhouse had been a puppet for a hundred thousand years.

What made him seem deranged was his conviction that even if he were slain, Chen Pingping before him could not escape the same fate of destruction.

His fundamental position was, in itself, a mistake.

The Demon Emperor suddenly burst into laughter. "The one behind you may be powerful, but *they* are even stronger. You can't stop them."

His laughter was radiant.

Even if he died an aggrieved death here, he felt he had won this final exchange.

He couldn't daunt Chen Pingping by talking about karma. What about life and death then?

Surely, Chen Pingping couldn't be unafraid of death, could he?

He would make Chen Pingping live his entire life in the shadow of death!

A slight smile touched Chen Pingping's lips as he said indifferently, "Have you considered a possibility? What if, before they even descend, before they even make a move, I charge over there and kill them first?"

The Demon Emperor was startled.

"Just like now..." Chen Pingping added.

The smile on the Demon Emperor's face gradually froze.

Charge into the Ancient City?

If it were anyone else, he would certainly scoff and mock them harshly.

Stop your damn bragging! Who do you think you are?

From ancient times to the present, who hadn't approached the Ancient City trembling with fear, shuddering, even needing courage just to speak its name?

Even those Ancient Emperors, invincible in their lifetimes, wouldn't dare boast of charging into the Ancient City. At best, they could sweep through the Ancient Road and then confront the Ancient City directly.

To achieve even that was already incredibly impressive, astonishing enough to be recorded in history and remembered for eternity.

But... the one making such grand pronouncements was Chen Pingping, a mere Saint Realm nobody. The crux was... this nobody had actually accomplished such a feat against him!

Before he had even fully recovered, this nobody had barged in and... subjected him to a series of saturation strikes and suppression.

Was that normal?

Absolutely not!

Had anyone ever seen a Saint Realm cultivator clamoring to slay an Emperor Realm expert?

Cultivators of that level—forget an Emperor Realm expert, even a Saint King—could kill a vast number with a single slap.

How dared he?

Shouldn't he be trembling in fear, desperately trying to escape the Nine Heavens?

Yet, not only had he not done so, he had instead led a group to charge in here, intending to slay him in front of the entire Northern Border, the Southern Region, and the Human Clan...

At this thought, the Demon Emperor exclaimed internally, What the hell!

Others might not dare to charge into the Ancient City, but Chen Pingping dared. Moreover, he was of the imperial lineage, possessed numerous powerful trump cards, and even had a terrifying expert backing him.

The Demon Emperor stared at him, his face turning shades of green and purple, and ground out through gritted teeth, "You're not afraid of karma, not afraid of death, not afraid of the Masters in the Ancient City—what the hell *are* you afraid of?"

Chen Pingping said nothing.

"Are you a ghost?"

"Who are you?"

"Are you the sovereign of the imperial dynasty?"

"Damn you... Damn you! Get lost... Just ascend to the heavens already! Please..." The Demon Emperor's composure shattered.

It was a complete collapse, utterly fragmented.

He had lived for over a hundred thousand years and had never encountered such an outrageous person.

Even the infamously arrogant Demon Emperor of old wasn't this outrageous...

HUFF! HUFF! The Demon Emperor took deep breaths, looked at the small creature on his arm, and asked, "Can you tell me, what the hell is this?"

Chen Pingping replied, "A Devouring Sky Beast."

The Demon Emperor was speechless. He glanced nearby. "And that ox?"

"A Spiritual Beast!"

"And the chicken?"

"Also a Spiritual Beast."

"What about that little black dog that appeared earlier, drawing its sword?"

"Correct!"

"So? The Demon Emperor?"

"My junior martial sister."

"The White Emperor's daughter?"

"My sworn elder brother..." Chen Pingping answered seriously.

A whole bunch of Spiritual Beasts!

Even the sovereign of the imperial dynasty back then didn't have such a retinue!

The corners of the Demon Emperor's mouth twitched. He asked again, "How did you manage to seal off the entirety of Dayan?"

Chen Pingping replied, "Heavenly Fortune Tao!"

The Demon Emperor was speechless again.

Such a thing exists?

Ordinary Heavenly Fortune Tao definitely couldn't achieve this.

The Demon Emperor's face was expressionless, his heart like dead cinders. "Alright, this emperor has asked what he needed to. You've won this battle. Go ahead and make your move!"

He was so tired.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried; he truly had no way to even try.

He had been suppressed and beaten from the very beginning.

Even his Northern Border Demon Race powerhouses were blocked outside Dayan. What more could he say?

However, Chen Pingping chuckled lightly. "No rush."

He was waiting. Li Chaoge of the Divine Clan, Sound from the Ancient City, and Candle, the prodigy of the Yi Clan—none of them had appeared from start to finish; they had been lying in wait. Perhaps they too were waiting. Waiting for Chen Pingping's attempt to slay the Demon Emperor to fail...

Without waiting for the Demon Emperor to speak, Chen Pingping continued, "Since they're waiting for my attempt to slay the Demon Emperor to fail... then I might as well fail."

The Demon Emperor: "???"

"You'll help me, right?" Chen Pingping said with a smile.

"Are you using this emperor?" In that instant, the Demon Emperor became enraged...
