I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

"waste!"

An aged, hoarse voice, filled with boundless majesty, slowly emanated from within the stone coffin.

"I sent you to seize the Human Emperor's inheritance, and not only did you return empty-handed, you also emboldened the human race to become even more arrogant!"

"What use are you to me?"

The voice was filled with deep disappointment and anger.

The Primordial Demon Prince trembled with fear and hurriedly kowtowed, saying, "Demon Lord, please calm your anger! It is your incompetence! It's just that the successor of the Human Emperor is too strange, and he is protected by an existence like the Empress of the Moon..."

"That's enough!"

The voice from inside the stone coffin coldly interrupted him.

"Excuses? I don't want to hear them."

A moment of silence fell inside the stone coffin.

The Ancient Demon Prince knelt on the ground, his robes soaked with cold sweat. He could feel a terrifying killing intent emanating from the stone coffin, locking onto him.

He had no doubt that he would be annihilated in the next second.

After a long while, the voice rang out again.

"Fine... I'll give you one more chance."

"The Emperor's seal is about to shatter completely, and I also need some time to recover my power."

"I will awaken the four sleeping Demon Emperors and have them accompany you to the Heavenly Realm."

"If you still can't defeat that successor of the Human Emperor this time, you don't need to come back."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Demon Prince was first stunned, then his face lit up with wild joy!

The Four Demon Emperors!

Those are beings second only to the Demon Lord among the demon race, each possessing terrifying strength at the quasi-Emperor level!

With the four of them working together, let alone a mere successor of the Human Emperor, sweeping away even the top forces in the Heavenly Realm would not be difficult!

"Thank you, Demon Lord! This time, I will certainly not fail in my mission and will bring back the head of the Human Emperor's successor to present to you!"

The Ancient Demon Prince excitedly assured him, then quickly retreated from the main hall.

As he left, the lid of the enormous black stone coffin slowly opened a crack.

Inside the stone coffin lay a man dressed in a black imperial robe, with a strangely handsome face.

He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes devoid of any emotion, filled only with endless bloodlust and tyranny.

If an ancient monster were here, it would surely recognize it in utter horror.

This person was none other than the last Demon Lord of the Primordial Demon Clan!

Back then, he fought the Human Emperor at the top of the Heavenly Realm for nine days and nine nights, but in the end, he was outmatched and lost to the forbidden being under the Human Emperor's sword!

"Hehehe..."

He let out a chilling laugh that echoed through the empty hall.

"Human Emperor... do you think you've won by suppressing me for an entire era?"

"It won't be long before I completely break free of the seal and return to the world!"

"At that time, the human race you risked your life to protect, your so-called bright and clear world..."

"I will make them all become food for my demon race! I will condemn all the heavens and myriad realms to grovel at my feet and be forever plunged into darkness!"

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, outside Baidi City, the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

The million-strong army of the Divine Court, like a black tide, crashed against the enormous golden light barrier wave after wave. Each impact caused the entire earth to tremble.

In the sky, powerful figures from various forces, including the Golden Ancient Clan, the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land, and the Golden Crow Clan, unleashed their magical treasures and supernatural powers, transforming into countless streams of light that crashed heavily onto the city's protective formation.

The light of the great formation was much dimmer than it had been three months ago, and it was covered with fine cracks like a spider web, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.

On the divine chariot, Shen Wudao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the teetering golden light screen before him, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It's been three months, and it still hasn't broken." His voice carried a hint of impatience. "This damn formation is really tough."

Beside him, an old man dressed in the robes of a quasi-emperor of the Divine Court spoke calmly: "This formation was, after all, set up by the White Emperor himself, and contains his life's work and insights into the Great Dao. Naturally, it is not so easy to break through."

The old man paused, glanced at the increasingly obvious cracks on the light screen, and continued, "However, it will be soon. Judging from the current state of this formation, it will be completely destroyed in at most another half month."

After hearing this, Shen Wudao's impatience eased slightly, but a chilling killing intent and greed flashed in his eyes.

Chu Feng.

The successor of the Human Emperor.

If you can capture him, all the human inheritances on him and that mysterious bronze coffin will be yours!

At that time, all those ancient demons and those with double pupils will be trampled under my feet!

Thinking of this, his impatience turned into boundless passion.

"Issue my order: all Divine Court soldiers, regardless of the cost, attack with all your might! This divine son will raze this White Emperor City to the ground within a month!"

"yes!"

With his command, the Divine Court army's offensive became even more frenzied.

……

In the city lord's palace.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Bai Luoxue, Zhuge Yue, Situ Jun, Fairy Luoxue, and others all looked solemnly at the bed made of ten-thousand-year-old warm jade.

On the bed, Bai Di lay quietly, his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper, and his breath extremely weak.

It's been three months.

Since that day when he burned his source and severely injured the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the White Emperor has been in a deep sleep and has not yet awakened.

In the past three months, Bai Luoxue has almost emptied the city lord's mansion's treasury of all the rare and precious materials, and used all kinds of life-extending divine medicines and soul-nourishing sacred objects on Bai Di, but there is still no improvement.

The Dao injuries he sustained in the previous battle with the dark creatures, coupled with the forced burning of his Emperor's Origin this time, have taken a heavy toll on him.

"Senior Situ."

Bai Luoxue looked out the window at the city's protective array, which was already dim and on the verge of collapse. She took a deep breath, turned to Situ Jun, and said in a slightly trembling but unusually firm voice.

"The great formation won't last much longer."

"Once the city falls, I urge you, senior, to lead Young Master Chu... out of here."

She knew in her heart that these people were all after Chu Feng. As long as Chu Feng could leave safely, Baidi City might still have a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing this, Situ Jun frowned deeply: "Young Miss, my Ascending Heaven Tower has stood in Baidi City for hundreds of thousands of years, sharing its glory and disgrace. How can we abandon the city at this critical juncture?"

Although he was the second master of the Ascending Heaven Tower, Baidi City had long been his second home.

"Yes, young lady," Fairy Falling Snow chimed in. "The city lord has been kind to us, and we will never flee alone."

Seeing Bai Luoxue's worried eyes, Situ Jun hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I have already sent a message to my elder brother. If... if my elder brother can return in time, this crisis will be resolved."

Brother!

Upon hearing these two words, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of both Bai Luoxue and Fairy Luoxue.

The mysterious owner of the Dengtian Tower!

Legend has it that he is the true pillar supporting the Heavenly Tower, a supreme being whose true strength is unfathomable and who has long since reached the Emperor Realm.

If he were to return, let alone a mere coalition of a few major powers, even the Emperor himself might not dare to act recklessly.

only……

That building owner hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years.

His whereabouts, whether he can receive the message, and whether he can return in time are all unknown.

The glimmer of hope in Bai Luoxue's heart was quickly replaced by the harsh reality.

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

She turned her gaze to the depths of the mansion, to the Fountain of Youth shrouded in ethereal mist.

There, Chu Feng remained immersed in the spring water, his eyes closed, like a statue, unchanged.

But unbeknownst to anyone, his body was undergoing a dramatic transformation.

A wisp of gray aura, representing the end and death, emanated from his body, only to be neutralized and refined by the boundless vitality of the Fountain of Youth.

Deep within his bloodline, the ancient, domineering power originating from the Chu family ancestors was boiling wildly like a dormant volcano, slowly merging with the aura of the Undying Blood, the Abyss Origin, the power of the Saints... and even the aura of the Burial Coffin and the Heavenly Evolution Tortoise Shell in a mysterious way.

His physical body was constantly cycling between collapse and reconstruction.

Time passed by in this agonizing wait, and another half month went by.
