World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2049 - 953: Gathering the Hell Knights! Entering the Fallen Land!

Chapter 2049: Chapter 953: Gathering the Hell Knights! Entering the Fallen Land!

Drifting endlessly toward the land of the fallen, Lanling continued to drift, drift...

Meanwhile, in the Southern Barbaric Lands, Emperor Moda’s twenty million troops kept advancing south, while Kui Shuangshuang led the Demon Pavilion’s one million troops northward.

Time passed day by day...

The armies of Emperor Moda and Kui Shuangshuang’s Demon Pavilion were approaching closer to the Flame Demon Empire’s five major cities.

This time, the Flame Demon Empire had no power to resist these overwhelmingly strong forces. Because Lanling was not present, the one and a half million undead army could not be controlled, and all the Death Warrior Group, Puppet Warrior Group had frozen in place, completely losing their combat capability.

At this moment, the only forces the Flame Demon Empire could rely on were the Witch Kingdom, Tiancha King, and the Winged Tribe.

The strength of the Flame Demon Empire was even less than during the decisive battle with Na Xue.

The enemies now converging on the Flame Demon Empire were twenty times more than Na Xue’s forces.

So, if Lanling could not arrive in time!

Then... the Flame Demon Empire was destined to perish, with no chance of survival.

Facing the power of Emperor Moda, any resistance was destined to be futile.

...

Crown Prince Tiancha was plunged into absolute unease.

Because nothing was hidden from them regarding the matters of the Flame Demon Empire, including that all the Death Warriors, Puppet Warriors had frozen still, completely losing their combat capability.

The Flame Demon Empire’s strength had greatly diminished, leaving it powerless against the combined forces of the Flame Demon Empire and the Dragon Temple Demon Pavilion.

"Father, what should we do? Where should we go?" Despite the Mirror Demon King’s surveillance, Crown PrinceTiancha couldn’t help but exchange a glance with Tiancha King.

Tiancha King sat silently, motionless.

A moment later, a witch said at the door, "Prince of Heavenly Fiend, Her Majesty the Queen requests your presence."

Tiancha King was startled, and his heart was filled with unease.

Facing the pincer attack from Emperor Moda and the Dragon Temple from north and south, Tiancha King’s resolve was indeed crumbling, and hearing Empress Dienie’s invitation, his heart filled with fear and anxiety.

At this moment, even though the Flame Demon Empire’s strength had greatly reduced, killing Tiancha King and his son would still be no problem.

"Father..." Crown PrinceTiancha exclaimed in shock.

Tiancha King took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

Then, he followed the witch to the Flame Demon Great Hall to see Queen Empress Dienie.

...

"Minion Tiancha, pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, pays respects to Princess Li." Tiancha King knelt down and kowtowed.

"Rise." Dienie said: "Prince of Heavenly Fiend, Emperor Moda’s army is marching south, and the traitor Kui Shuangshuang is leading the Dragon Temple Demon Pavilion’s army northward, only a few thousand miles from the Flame Demon Empire."

Tiancha King said: "In the Flame Demon Empire, we consider these enemies as mere chickens and dogs, and we will, as before, once again easily annihilate the enemy’s entire army."

Dienie said: "You don’t have to say such pleasant talk; the truth is the Flame Demon Empire’s strength has greatly diminished, even less than during the previous battle with Na Xue. Facing the pincer attack of the Motuo Empire and the Dragon Temple, we have no resistance at all."

With these words, Tiancha King’s face changed.

Dienie said, "There’s one more thing; all the Death Warrior Group, Puppet Warrior Group, suddenly just froze in place, completely lost their combat capability. Many people are wondering whether Your Majesty has already died?"

Tiancha King immediately began to kowtow desperately.

Dienie said: "Your Majesty has gone in search of the Demon Emperor’s legacy, and has used a very extreme method, placing himself in a life-or-death situation. I don’t know if he will succeed, but before he left, he told me he had no assurance or confidence. So I have already mentally prepared for the possibility that he’s already dead."

Tiancha King pressed his upper body completely against the ground.

Dienie said: "Therefore, this time, there’s a ninety percent chance that the Flame Demon Empire will be destroyed. If Tiancha King wants to leave, or pledge allegiance to the Motuo Empire, or the Dragon Temple Demon Pavilion, I won’t stop you."

Tiancha King dutifully kowtowed, saying, "I dare not, I dare not."

Dienie said: "Godfather, you should know that I never lie. We are already prepared, if my husband does not return, we will die boldly and follow him in death. It’s nothing, and there’s no need to feel sad, just consider it another failed rebellion by the Demon Clan People. So if you want to leave the Flame Demon Empire, if you want to defect to the enemy, you should do it before the war occurs. If you defect before the war, I absolutely cannot forgive it, and will use all means to eliminate you. But if you leave now, if you defect now, I will agree to let you go. The enemy is already dozens of times our size, your departure won’t make a difference. I never lie, and there’s no need to test. If you want to leave, you can say so now."

Tiancha King could tell that Dienie was indeed not lying, she never lies.

The Flame Demon Empire was truly doomed to destruction, it was a ship about to sink, was it necessary to remain aboard?

If he defected from the Flame Demon Empire to join the Motuo Empire, or the Demon Pavilion, would they accept him?

Tiancha King organized his thoughts, intending to say that he left the Flame Demon Empire to leave a seed for the Demon Race, or that he left the Flame Demon Empire but would never participate in the war against it.

In general, he wanted to take people away from the Flame Demon Empire and not perish with it.

"I will not leave, I am willing to bet on that one percent chance. The Flame Demon Emperor has created countless miracles, and this time I believe he will return as a king." Tiancha King knocked his head heavily on the floor.

After speaking these words, he himself was stunned.

He had clearly organized the thoughts in his mind on how to gently leave the Flame Demon Empire, why did he speak these words instead?

Heart and words are not in alignment!

But which words are truly from his heart?

But once the words are spoken, they can never be taken back!

Empress Dienie smiled and said: "Alright, then let’s take a gamble together, betting on that one percent chance!"

...

At the world’s end, somewhere on the edge of the East Sea!

All five Hell Knights were present!

The Headless Knight, Crown Prince Lan Tu, Zhi Li, Ashi Luo, and Yan Mo.

There was also a Faceless One, yet another Faceless One!

Every Faceless One is a reflection from deep within the soul of a Yao Xing, so which Yao Xing master’s soul is this Faceless One a reflection of?

"This time, all of you should go to the Flame Demon Empire!" said the Faceless One.

With these words, the five Hell Knights were amazed. Why?

Wasn’t the previous plan always to avoid being completely wiped out? This time, it’s the Motuo Empire and the Demon Pavilion of the Dragon Temple attacking the Flame Demon Empire. Even having five more Sub-King peak Hell Knights wouldn’t make a difference.

The Faceless One had no choice either!

Because now Yao Xing and its master have severe conflicts and divisions, and the Flame Demon Emperor greatly distrusts Yao Xing. Something must be done to regain the Flame Demon Emperor’s trust, even if it’s just a little bit.

The Flame Demon Emperor Lanling is now the only hope for Yao Xing!

"Yes!" the five Hell Knights said.

"Then, let’s set off!" said the Faceless One.

Immediately, the five Hell Knights transformed into five streams of light, flying towards the west, to the Flame Demon Empire.

Halfway there, to avoid the flying birds of energy patrolling from the Dragon Temple, all five Hell Knights hid inside ghost-faced fish and swam secretly from the sea bottom towards the Flame Demon Empire.

...

The small boat of Lanling drifted continuously on the Sea of the Netherworld, drifting.

The Faceless One was rowing the boat, rowing; it wanted very much to speak, to communicate with its master.

However, Lanling had no intention to talk.

And so, they drifted like this day after day!

The scenery of the Sea of the Netherworld is eternally unchanged, filled with endless energy and data. In Lanling’s meditation space, it is like a mirror-like sea surface.

And so it went on... until one day suddenly!

Lanling reached the end of the Sea of the Netherworld!

In the true Netherworld, this end is a void, a bizarre land of light and shadows.

An ever-changing void, with countless rays of light mixing together, twisting madly, eerie yet beautiful.

And in the depths of Lanling’s meditation, the end of the Sea of the Netherworld is a boundless waterfall, tens of thousands of meters high, truly a galaxy cascading down from the sky.

Below the waterfall is a world of dappled light and shadow.

At one moment, it seems like a mystical different world, and at another moment, it seems like a demon’s wide-open mouth.

"Master, this is the breach of the Netherworld," said the Faceless One. "It was torn open by the mutual destruction of the Dragon and the Divine Demon long ago."

Lanling said: "The Sea of the Netherworld is filled with boundless and endless energy, with a breach, the energy inside should quickly spill out and completely destroy the world, why hasn’t this happened?"

The Faceless One said: "Because the junction of several planar breaches is the Fall Zone, a complete Death Forbidden Zone that can seal off all energy spillage. That’s why the Sea of the Netherworld hasn’t collapsed. But over countless years, the energy from the Sea of the Netherworld has been continuously flowing into the Fall Zone."

Lanling said: "The Sea of the Netherworld and the real world are like the two ends of a scale, an energy equilibrium for the real world, even the source of its energy. As energy from the Sea of the Netherworld constantly overflows to the Fall Zone, the energy in the real world becomes less and less, causing martial arts attainments to decline in both the Demon Race and the Human Kingdom."

The Faceless One said: "Yes, Your Majesty! The martial arts prowess in the real world has consistently diminished, resulting in the emergence of the Sub-King level, all due to the loss of energy from the Sea of the Netherworld."

Lanling said: "Let’s go down, to the Fall Zone!"

The Faceless One said: "Your Majesty, you, you should reconsider! The Fall Zone truly is a forbidden zone for all life, even for you!"

Lanling said: "Don’t I still have half of the Void Bloodline? Let’s go down."

The Faceless One said: "You might really die, completely and utterly turned to dust."

Lanling said: "If I die, Yao Xing can just look for the next master. I have never been afraid of death and particularly enjoy courting it!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The Faceless One painfully lowered its head and continued to row.

Instantly, the small boat plummeted from the breach at the end of the Sea of the Netherworld, falling from the tens of thousands of meters high waterfall.

It fell into the Fall Zone!
