“Has the Heavenly Emperor passed on?” Mandela asked excitedly. She and Mu Chen were shocked when they heard what the Flame Emperor had said.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at each other and said, “The Heavenly Emperor has indeed passed on, but he has left some seals and relics behind, including the security seal…”

When Mandela heard this, her face fell. She felt sad, as the Heavenly Emperor was like a father to her.

When the Flame Emperor saw her expression, he knew that she must be related to the Heavenly Emperor in some way. However, he said nothing and turned to look at the Square in the mountain, upon which was a huge black skull.

“Is that the Heavenly Emperor?” Mu Chen followed the Flame Emperor’s gaze and was taken aback. They had thought that the black skull belonged to the Demon Emperor, but in actual fact, the Demon Emperor had transformed himself to look exactly like the Heavenly Emperor!

The Flame Emperor nodded and said, “The Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor is very cunning. He has not only transformed himself to look like the Heavenly Emperor, he has transformed the remains of the Heavenly Emperor into this state in order to get the people to destroy them.”

Having said that, the Flame Emperor waved his sleeve and a beautiful flame swirled out. The flame then brought the black skull to them. As the skull was being burned by the flame, the demonic force started to dissipate.

The skull became clear and light started to gather around it. A figure then appeared.

The figure was robed in white and looked gallant and calm. An indescribable oppression, similar to that of an emperor, exuded from him.

The top powers looked respectfully at the figure and were curious about him. Is this the founder of the Ancient Celestial Palace, the Heavenly Emperor?

“I feel so ashamed of myself. Back then, I did not manage to destroy the demon. I have had to wait for so many thousands of years before someone could help me with it.” The figure that was robed in white sighed as he looked at the green light that was in Martial Border’s hand.

“We are indebted to you. It is only right for us to help.” The Flame Emperor said, as he and Martial Ancestor cupped their fists in a sign of gratitude. They were showing their respect for the Heavenly Emperor, who used to be the master in The Great Thousand World.

As these two were the cream of the crop, they had never shown such great respect to the Heavenly Sovereigns who were of the same level as them. However, the Heavenly Emperor had sacrificed himself for The Great Thousand World, so his sacrificial act had gained their admiration. Mu Chen and the rest bowed to him as well.

The Heavenly Emperor was pleased when he looked at the people. He then said to the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, “Back then, The Great Thousand World suffered many losses, as many masters died while fending off the Extraterritorial Race. After many thousands of years, we now have such outstanding people like you in our Great Thousand World. It seems like there is hope for us.”

Although the Heavenly Emperor was just a Spiritual Clone, he used to be a master in The Great Thousand World. He was sharp enough to discern that the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were extremely powerful.

Even when he was at his peak in the past, he would not have been able to defeat them. When he recalled the past, he was emotional, but at the same time, he was pleased that, after The Great Thousand World had gone through such great calamity, it had not weakened, but had prospered.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were humble in their attitudes. They took out the lump of light that had the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor sealed within it and decided to let the Heavenly Emperor deal with it.

The Heavenly Emperor took the lump of light and tossed it up in the air gently. Rays of light surged inside it, and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor’s ferocious face appeared on it.

He looked viciously at the Heavenly Emperor and said sharply, “You would have lost to me if someone had not stepped in to interrupt our fight.”

When the Heavenly Emperor heard this, he simply smiled and said, “You are wrong. It was because of your clan that you become what you are. You are the top 10 in your clan, and if I had let you go, you would have suppressed even more of our Great Thousand World. I have already achieved my objective by having sealed you! As you can see, my Great Thousand World still exists, and there are so many powerful people here! So, I have not lost.”

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was furious when he heard this. The demonic force in him surged, and he wanted to rush out, but he could not get out of the seal.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at each other and did not say a word. The Heavenly Emperor did not know that, although The Great Thousand World had survived the great calamity, almost half of the territory had been encroached upon by the Extraterritorial Race, who had never stopped eyeing The Great Thousand World, even after so many thousands of years.

The Great Thousand World was not as powerful as it once was, and they had paid a high price to safeguard it. They knew that the Extraterritorial Race would not give up so easily. So, if they attacked The Great Thousand World again, it would be very perilous.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor simply smiled at this thought. They had not been in The Great Thousand World during the great calamity, but they did want to see how powerful the Extraterritorial Race was, especially if they should have the chance to fight them!
