CHAPTER 886: CHAPTER 883: SUMMONING THE GOD

"Emperor Ye, long time no see."

The giant black spider looked down at Ye Xuan, speaking with a sinister smile.

"Black Lotus Emperor General, you should have informed me earlier. With the arrival of the Night Emperor, we should prepare a proper welcome." After greeting Ye Xuan, the black spider looked at the woman in the black robe with a slightly reproachful tone.

The woman in the black robe glanced at the black spider without speaking.

She knew that the Spider Emperor was mocking Ye Xuan.

However, she didn’t appreciate this.

Although she was ordered to eliminate Ye Xuan, she actually respected him.

As an Emperor General under Empress Changxi, she knew very well that the Empress’s achievements were largely linked to the Night Emperor.

Such a figure, even as an enemy, was worthy of admiration, not mockery like the Spider Emperor.

Such behavior, as Lian Ruyu could only say, she couldn’t condone.

"Heh, it seems the Black Lotus Emperor General is doing quite well in the Heavenly Domain, ignoring an old friend’s comments," the Spider Emperor remarked sarcastically when Lian Ruyu ignored him.

"Spider Emperor, don’t forget the important matters," Lian Ruyu reminded.

The Spider Emperor snorted coldly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said flatly, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget the Empress’s orders. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be stuck in this Spiritual Energy-depleted Lower Realm for so long..."

Lian Ruyu frowned at the Spider Emperor and said, "If you have issues with the Empress’s decision, you could go to the Heavenly Domain to speak with her. Why involve me in this?"

The Spider Emperor squinted slightly, saying nothing more.

Back when Spiritual Energy became depleted, the Double Emperors summoned the mighty from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to settle in the Heavenly Domain, so they could advance without competing for Spiritual Energy with the weak in the Lower Realm.

Yet, as an Emperor General under Empress Changxi, he wasn’t favored with good fortune and was left in the Xuanhuang Great World.

In name, he was to guard All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, to prevent any sabotage.

But in reality?

Who didn’t know that after the depletion of Spiritual Energy, a Saint Realm cultivator was the peak of power in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. Beings stronger than Saints were either in hibernation or in seclusion, never to show up, let alone cause destruction.

Not to mention whether they had the ability, but even if they did, would they need an Emperor General like him to handle these trivial matters?

At that moment, the Spider Emperor felt abandoned.

He harbored resentment, but he dared not show any trace of it.

Because Empress Changxi was a pinnacle figure of this era, and if he showed any resentment, even a little, the other powerful Emperor Generals would deal with him before Empress Changxi needed to lift a finger.

So he could only stay obediently in the Lower Realm, waiting for the day the Empress would summon him.

Unexpectedly, while he was in slumber today, he suddenly received a summons from Lian Ruyu. He was immensely excited, thinking the Empress was calling him to the Heavenly Domain, only to find out it was to deal with Ye Xuan.

Complaining momentarily, the Spider Emperor refocused on Ye Xuan and said coldly, "Once known as unrivaled and above the Double Emperors, the Undying Night Emperor, how did you end up like this now?"

Ye Xuan slightly raised his head, looking at the Spider Emperor with a faint smile, and said, "There’s a lot of resentment in your heart, isn’t there?"

The Spider Emperor retorted coldly, "Yes, I want to crush you!"

Ye Xuan touched his chin with his left hand, unhurriedly saying, "Ninety thousand years ago, the Heavenly Domain and Myriad Worlds were interconnected, and now they’re nearly sealed off because of the mistakes the Double Emperors made."

"The ones you should want to kill are the Double Emperors, not me."

"Nonsense," the Spider Emperor snorted.

"Oh, true," Ye Xuan tapped his forehead and said with a chuckle, "I forgot, you’re one of Changxi’s Emperor Generals. You don’t have the power to kill the Double Emperors, nor the courage."

"Are you seeking death sooner?" The Spider Emperor’s expression became fierce, and a freezing atmosphere enveloped all around, making it feel like being plunged into an ice cave.

Ye Xuan’s smile remained unchanged, calmly saying, "I understand why Changxi left you in the Lower Realm; you’re too worthless."

Lian Ruyu slightly glanced sideways, puzzled as to why Ye Xuan remained so composed despite the arrival of the Spider Emperor.

Logically, the current Night Emperor should be at the end of his rope, with his True Qi entirely depleted.

"You’re right!"

The Spider Emperor’s face turned grim, shooting Lian Ruyu a glance and then looking back at Ye Xuan, saying, "Among the Emperor Generals under the Double Emperors, I’m indeed the most worthless, so I was the one left behind, and I admit it, but aren’t you also as worthless? Once at such heights, and now you need to waste words dealing with a worthless Emperor General like me..."

The Spider Emperor looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of sarcasm and said, "You calling me worthless doesn’t upset me at all. After all, seeing the Undying Night Emperor in such a state is somewhat of a life’s fortune, isn’t it?"

"Tell me, how do you wish to die?"

The Spider Emperor disdainfully looked at Ye Xuan, seeming reluctant to even make a move.

Unlike Lian Ruyu and Mu Yun, who came from the Lower Realm, the Spider Emperor had been stationed in the Xuanhuang Great World from the beginning. Even though he was subjected to the suppression of Heaven and Earth Laws due to the End of Dharma Era, it wasn’t as severe as it was for Lian Ruyu and Mu Yun.

His strength, in this Lower Realm, was much greater.

He had enough confidence to kill Ye Xuan!

Everything was under control!

Lian Ruyu also watched Ye Xuan with a trace of curiosity.

"Die?" Ye Xuan smiled calmly, placing the Guo Hezu in front and resting his palm on the hilt, slowly standing up. He looked up at the Spider Emperor, stifling his smile, his expression indifferent and his eyes filled with confidence, speaking in a loud voice:

"I am the Undying Night Emperor!"

Undying Night Emperor!

The four words echoed throughout the entire cosmic starry sky!

"No, ever since the Double Emperors reached the pinnacle ninety thousand years ago, you are no longer," the Spider Emperor said indifferently. "You’re now just a feeble human cultivator, an ant at the Unity Realm."

"Is that so?" Ye Xuan smiled slightly as the Guo Hezu slowly unsheathed.

The Spider Emperor watched Ye Xuan’s movements, not making a move but instead appearing as if watching a clown.

He wanted to see how this guy struggled in vain.

Clang————

The Guo Hezu was unsheathed. Ye Xuan held the hilt with his right hand, tightly gripping the blade with his left, pulling fiercely.

Blood flowed freely.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s self-mutilating action, both the Spider Emperor and Lian Ruyu had a bad premonition.

"Die!" The Spider Emperor no longer hesitated, striking suddenly with one leg sweeping horizontally like a heavenly pillar, shattering stars into powder where it passed.

Rumble————

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, releasing the Guo Hezu, and said calmly, "To deal with a beast like you, naturally, Daoists are more adept."

"With blood as penance."

"I invoke the True Martial Emperor, Ancestor Purging Demons of Nine Heavens!"

At that moment, Ye Xuan stood solemnly, imbued with a heavenly decree.

Immediately, under the wide-eyed gaze of the Spider Emperor and Lian Ruyu, an imposing Dharma Body standing on Xuanwu suddenly appeared behind Ye Xuan, suppressing the ages!
