Chapter 2029: Heaven Devouring Emperor Surrenders (1/2)
Even though he hadn’t completely recovered, an attack from him wasn’t something a Second Order Sovereign could stand against.
If a Second Order Sovereign like Wu Shaowu could block an attack from him, the King of Darkness’ reputation would have been dragged through the mud.
One had to know that the Ancient Heavenly Emperor had to use the Ancient Heavenly Court and gather a group of world leaders before managing to kill him.
Luckily for him, he had managed to condense the Heart of Darkness before they killed him. Otherwise, he would really be dead.
“Huang… Huang Xiaolong!” Some of the ancestors from the Heaven Devouring Empire recognized Huang Xiaolong the instant he appeared. Their voices trembled as they called his name.
Huang Xiaolong ignored all of them as his gaze landed on the devil stele floating in the air. A look of joy flashed through his eyes. “That’s the Imperial Beast Devil Stele!”
The Imperial Beast Devil Stele was the number-one ranked devil stele among the six!
After searching for so long, Huang Xiaolong had finally managed to find it!
The three devil steles in Huang Xiaolong’s body started to glow. With a single thought, he summoned them, and they appeared in the air in front of him. Without the need for Huang Xiaolong to control the stele, the Imperial Beast Devil Stele started to fly towards the three other devil steles.
Compared to the time Wu Shaowu had tried to control the stele, the divine beasts around it didn’t resist Huang Xiaolong. Instead, it seemed as though they were extremely happy.
A furious roar shook the world surface as Wu Shaowu released an ear-splitting roar. He broke through the earth and soared into the sky with rings of blood rotating around his body. The Sovereign’s aura on his body expanded and threatened to swallow everything in its way.
With bloodshot eyes, he glared at Huang Xiaolong. “Huang! Xiao! Long!!!” It was as though he hated that he couldn’t swallow Huang Xiaolong that very instant. Even though he wanted nothing more than to tear Huang Xiaolong to pieces, he didn’t make a move. Instead, he stared at the black-robed man beside him.
“Who are you?” Wu Shaowu growled, “Are you someone Huang Xiaolong called over?”
The King of Darkness disdained to reply to him.
A flash of rage crossed Wu Shaowu’s eyes. “I don’t care who you are! Today, I’m taking the Imperial Beast Devil Stele whether you like it or not!”
According to him, the black-robed man was a Third Order Sovereign. The only reason he was sent flying was because he was taken by surprise.
Now that he had located the Imperial Beast Devil Stele, he was extremely reluctant to see Huang Xiaolong take it away.
That was the top-ranked devil stele! It was an incredible treasure, and it wouldn’t lose out to ordinary top-grade grandmist artifacts!
A howl left his mouth the moment he spoke, and he charged towards the Imperial Beast Devil Stele. He sent a claw towards The King of Darkness and Huang Xiaolong.
Even though three other devil steles were floating in the air, he ignored them all. He knew that Huang Xiaolong had already refined them, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything to the other three devil steles unless he killed Huang Xiaolong.
“Go!”
He turned and yelled at the Emperors under him.
In an instant, the experts of the Heaven Devouring Emperor Country moved against Huang Xiaolong.
“You’re overestimating yourself!”
“Dumb*ss!”
The King of Darkness harrumphed. He hadn’t gone all out previously as Huang Xiaolong had asked him to go easy on Wu Shaowu. He had hoped that he could make Wu Shaowu surrender.
Looking at Wu Shaowu’s ‘zealous’ attitude, the King of Darkness welcomed his attack with a single fist.
In the instant he sent his fist out, the world turned into darkness. Devil qi swallowed the world and destroyed everything in its path.”
