A powerful earth-elemental magic appeared before the quasi-emperor Labu, and a yellow earth wall materialized. Labu breathed a sigh of relief. This was the defense magic of the Green Ox Emperor. As a quasi-emperor, he was a pillar of the demon race. The Green Ox Emperor had not abandoned him.
However, the earth wall, not yet fully formed, was instantly pierced by a small flame, which landed on Labu.
Labu’s relieved smile immediately turned to one of terror. He poured all his magic into resisting the flame on his shoulder. But as his magic rushed towards the flame, it was not obstructed. Instead, it was as if oil had been doused on it, and the flame engulfed his entire body.
"Ahhh! No, save me…"
The pale flame consumed all of Labu’s magic, and the terrifyingly high temperature devoured his life force. He ignited into a fireball and plummeted from the sky at high speed.
A colossal figure appeared at an alarming pace, casting magic to save the quasi-emperor Labu. The newcomer was the Green Ox Emperor of the demon race. However, the moment his magic touched the flame, the flame actually burned towards him!
What a vicious flame! The Green Ox Emperor was startled and quickly withdrew his magic. Labu fell freely, and before he even reached the sea, his entire body had already been incinerated.
The Green Ox Emperor gazed at Bai Ye with a solemn expression.
A giant fist was hurtling towards Bai Ye. This was the Green Ox Emperor’s magical attack against him. Augmented by the power of rules, its might was incredibly terrifying.
If this punch were to land on the ground, it would likely sink the entire Marai Peninsula!
Bai Ye raised his hand again. The scorching air suddenly turned icy cold. The entire sky seemed to freeze into a single block, and even the earth-elemental giant fist magic cast by the Green Ox Emperor was being frozen. It slowed down as it approached Bai Ye and finally shattered and dissipated.
The Green Ox Emperor, watching intently from not far away, narrowed his eyes, his expression growing even more wary. “My Earth-Elemental Giant Fist, though a casual strike, would require even a quasi-emperor to go all out. Yet, he easily neutralized it with only ice power. His other elemental powers…”
Was the attack from His Excellency the Green Ox Emperor so easily neutralized? Did Quasi-Emperor Labu die so easily? Even His Excellency the Emperor couldn’t save him? The high-ranking officials of the three major alliances watched the video, and their alliance meetings were struck with silence. Many presidents and leaders were so scared their faces turned pale. Their greatest reliance was that the demon race had three emperors, but now, Bai Ye had also reached the Emperor level? Why was he so monstrous? No wonder the Mansion Alliance had such confidence!
It wasn't just their officials who were silent. The three major alliances had hoped for Bai Ye's crushing defeat and for the Mansion Alliance to falter, but those beneath them were now quiet, filled with fear. If Bai Ye were merely a Demon King, or even a quasi-emperor, they wouldn’t have been this scared, as there were still emperors to rein him in.
But now, he had easily slain a quasi-emperor, remaining at the peak of Blue Star, and even at the highest echelon of the demon race!
"Damn it, damn it!! Yeg Ge yyds!!!"
"One strike, just one strike killed a quasi-emperor! Yeg Ge, oh my god!"
"Ahhh! Brother Ye is so, so handsome, I love you, love you, super love you, I'm going crazy, ahhhh!!!"
"Brother Ye, I'm an E-class cute girl, can I be your little wife? pitifully~"
"You little slut, you want to be a little wife at E-class? Dream on!!!"
"Wuwuwu~ Another day of living in envy of Yeg Ge!"
"Brother Ye, are there any gender restrictions? After all these years, give us an answer!"
"Ahem, everyone, let’s be normal. Didn’t you notice the guy who just arrived? The one confronting Yeg Ge now! He seems to be… the backing of the Meizhou Alliance, the Demon Emperor of the demon race!"
"Hiss~ What the hell! Could this be the prelude to an emperor-level battle?"
"Wait, it seems like someone else is coming!"
"This aura, it’s so terrifying!!"
"Brother Ye, be careful!"
"Yeg Ge, be careful!"
…
On the battlefield of Marai Country, several more figures appeared. Leading them were an elf as beautiful as an angel, and a half-demon fully clad in golden battle armor, with a greatsword on his back. These two were the Elf Emperor Rachel and the Half-Demon Emperor Han Wu.
Both brought several quasi-emperors or demon kings with them. The three races surrounded Bai Ye from three sides.
"Heh heh~ Even if he successfully advanced to the Emperor level, so what? We have Emperor-level powerhouses too! Blue Star is no longer controlled by your Mansion Alliance! [From the Meizhou Alliance]"
"Although it’s very surprising, he is now surrounded. Your Mansion Alliance should just pray. Who has a greater chance of winning in a one-against-three at the same level? [From the Western Alliance]"
"Let’s make a move! Their Majesties the Emperors must eliminate this guy. He poses too great a threat to us!"
"Support killing him! If we keep him, he will be a great menace to us in the future! [From the Feizhou Alliance]"
"Go to hell! You scumbags of humanity!"
"Baka!! Compared to the demon race, I hate you spineless traitors even more!!!"
…
The three emperors stared intently at Bai Ye, their demonic energy released, their auras unrestrained. Beside the Elf Emperor Rachel, Princess Mandara gently fluttered her wings, gazing at Bai Ye with a complex expression. "I didn't expect him to reach this realm so quickly! I’m already starting to look up to him…"
"I truly didn’t expect you to advance to the Emperor level. This is truly beyond our expectations." Han Wu slowly drew the greatsword from his back.
The Elf Emperor Rachel revealed a faint smile. "I find it very strange. In a world without any elemental essence, how could an Emperor-level powerhouse be born? Little fellow, can you share your secret with sister?"
Bai Ye glanced around and looked directly at the Elf Emperor. "Want to know? Come here, I'll tell you."
The Green Ox Emperor’s eyes flickered. Bai Ye’s strength far exceeded their estimations. Not only had his fire element reached the Emperor level, but his other elements were very likely also at the quasi-emperor level. Even if the three of them could defeat him, they probably couldn’t keep him. If they couldn't kill him, there was no need to make a move!
"Green Ox Emperor, Labu was killed by him. Aren't you going to make a move yet?" Seeing that the Green Ox Emperor remained silent, Han Wu's voice rose a notch. Seeing Bai Ye and the Elf Emperor's 'knowing glances,' he felt very uneasy.
"Hahaha… It hasn't been this lively in a long time." Suddenly, a dashing laugh broke the tense atmosphere.
A white figure slowly materialized near Bai Ye, his appearance impeccably handsome, with teasing yet boundless elegance. "Why is it that wherever you go, there's never peace?"
Bai Ye looked at the approaching figure and chuckled, "What? Didn't you run away?"
