Chapter 1190 - Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan (2/2)
Xiao Xiao snorted lightly and ignored him. The Flame Emperor smiled and ruffled Xiao Xiao's hair, then greeted Lin Jing and Nine Nether. The two girls were stupefied at his gentle demeanor.
”I'll take care of it. Y'all made a big mess this time.” The Flame Emperor smiled, then came to stand beside Mu Chen.
He looked at Mu Chen, then patted him on the shoulder, laughing. ”Well done, little brother, you're a good man.”
Mu Chen obviously did not expect this legendary figure, who could cause the whole world to shake with one stomp of his foot, to speak to him in such an unpretentious and friendly manner. He scratched his head sheepishly and replied awkwardly, ”Well, I couldn't just let the girls die in front of me!”
Upon hearing this, the Flame Emperor looked at Mu Chen with admiration, then nodded and smiled. ”Thank you for saving Xiao Xiao. I will remember this favor in the future.”
He then said with a smile before Mu Chen could reply, ”But let me take care of this now...”
As Mu Chen was not pretentious, he simply nodded his head and retreated. After all, this level of confrontation was something he could only dream of at his current stage.
As Mu Chen retreated, the Flame Emperor stepped forward. As he approached, the Demon Emperor's mocking expression vanished, leaving him with a somber look on his face. Clearly, he sensed the rather dangerous aura that was emanating from the Flame Emperor.
”The Great Thousand World barely survived after most of the powerful Sovereigns had fallen protecting it. But now, someone like you has appeared! What a pity...” the Demon Emperor murmured. If it would have only been an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign who had appeared today, he was confident that he could have retreated safely. However, he was not at his peak now, so this could mean trouble.
The Flame Emperor smiled and said, ”Well, out of the 'Heaven, Spirit, and Nether' ranks, which one do you belong to?”
The supposed ”Heaven, Spirit, and Nether” were the three ranks of Demon Emperors in the Extraterritorial Race, but this kind of information was completely unknown to ordinary Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World.
”I didn't expect you to know so much about my Extraterritorial Race.” The Demon Emperor was surprised when he heard his words.
The Flame Emperor flicked his fingers, causing flames to emerge from them. ”No less than ten Demon Emperors have fallen at my hands throughout these last years, so how could I not know?” he asked nonchalantly.
Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing his words, and they started to look at him with awe and respect. The Demon Emperor's pupils contracted. At this moment, he knew that the man in front of him was the real enemy of their Extraterritorial Race, as he was even more dangerous than the Heavenly Emperor now!
He took a deep breath, his gaze darkening. ”I am the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor!”
The Flame Emperor's gaze flickered and he sighed. ”So, you're a Heaven-ranked Demon Emperor. It's no wonder that you could compete with the former Heavenly Emperor.”
A Heaven-ranked Demon Emperor, was one of the best, even among the Demon Emperors.
”Who are you?” The Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor asked in a low tone.
Behind him, the ghastly Demonic Energy gradually surged, while the space began to shatter apart. The Flame Emperor then lifted his palm, while brilliant flames condensed within it. The flames then gradually turned into a slowly rotating Flame Lotus.
He smiled at the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor and said nonchalantly, ”Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan.”
