第四千零三十二章 灰飞烟灭

They say that killing someone doesn’t require more than a tap on the head. However, Nai Long True Man’s shamelessness surpassed everyone's imagination.

He refused to back down!

A million域外天魔 roamed this path, tormenting him until he was nearly driven mad with nerves.

The Void Tyrant Lord had seen countless storms and tempests in his time, yet at this moment, there was nothing he could do about it. When an顶尖高手 lost all sense of shame, the damage they could inflict was truly unimaginable.

He had considered turning the tables, setting a trap to eliminate Nai Long True Man here.

For example, by ambushing him with multiple opponents and using some array formations and prohibitions.

The problem was that while Nai Long True Man’s shamelessness was indeed shocking, his strength was something not to be underestimated. The Void Tyrant Lord couldn’t afford the slightest carelessness on this point.

Capturing Nai Long True Man wasn’t an impossible task, but the required level of array formations would likely match those of the Nine True Vengeful Immortal Formation. It was a joke; although there were many ancient prohibitions, the Nine True Vengeful Immortal Formation could rank among the top five. Such power required years of silent cultivation and couldn’t be achieved overnight.

Thus, while the Nine True Vengeful Immortal Formation could defend Penglai Immortal Island, it was an immovable object. Setting up a similarly powerful prohibition during their journey was simply impossible.

Not only would the Void Tyrant Lord find this task unfeasible, but even if the Flying Heavenly Demon Ancestor were to rise again, he would still be left sighing in frustration.

In short, this was an impossible mission.

Although temporary array formations had some power, they were essentially a joke when compared to Nai Long True Man’s existence. They were of no use at all.

Therefore, the Void Tyrant Lord’s attempt to turn the tables and eliminate Nai Long True Man here was destined to fail.

He felt frustrated inside, but honestly, it wasn’t his fault.

It wasn’t that the Void Tyrant Lord lacked power; rather, Nai Long was too shameless, with no lower limit. No matter how much he cursed or threatened, Nai Long remained indifferent and even gloated from behind the scenes.

The Void Tyrant Lord had nowhere to vent his frustration, becoming extremely irritable. He often resorted to beating and scolding his subordinates. One day, in a fit of anger, he accidentally killed two Demon Sovereigns.

This stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Indeed, the Void Tyrant was one of the seven most precious leaders among the域外天魔, and the overall commander of all Nai Long True Man's demon armies. But no matter how powerful they were, they couldn’t act with such impunity.

A Demon Sovereign at the渡劫 realm wasn’t a mere ant; each had their own tribes and forces. It wasn’t easy to kill them casually.

If they made mistakes, the Void Tyrant Lord naturally had the right to punish them. But simply because he was in a bad mood, to vent his anger on subordinates, this was indefensible.

Not only were the fallen Demon Sovereigns’ tribes upset, but even the living ones rose up together, feeling the pain of their comrades' deaths.

The sight of a powerful Demon Sovereign falling like that left no one unmoved. The accumulated frustration and tension among the other Demon Sovereigns couldn’t be understated.

Their nerves were taut to the breaking point, nearly on the verge of collapse.

Though they didn’t say it out loud, deep down, they all harbored resentment towards the Void Tyrant Lord.

They had been making swift progress in the ancient demon realm until the Demon King insisted on avenging his wife and provoking Nai Long True Man. They would never have ended up like this if not for the Demon King’s actions.

It was all the Void Tyrant Lord's fault!

This incident became a catalyst, as the subordinates dared to challenge their lord. The Void Tyrant Lord didn’t recognize any wrongdoing; instead, he flew into a rage.

This wasn’t unusual in the cultivation world, where strength reigned supreme. The域外天魔 were especially so.

Since the Flying Heavenly Demon Ancestor’s fall, the Void Tyrant had been accustomed to giving orders. How could he tolerate his subordinates questioning him?

However, as the saying goes, too much arrogance leads to one's downfall. Those Demon Sovereigns were already extremely resentful; how could they endure the Void Tyrant Lord’s arrogance? They also erupted.

After a fierce battle, the Void Tyrant Lord truly showed his might, fending off nearly a hundred Demon Sovereigns and killing more than half of them in one breath.

The leaders fought fiercely. The other域外天魔 naturally wouldn’t just watch; they joined in, leading to mutual slaughter with countless casualties.

Seeing this, Nai Long True Man not only felt no remorse but also used his disguise technique to stir up the chaos, provoking and inciting wherever the fighting wasn’t intense enough. As a result, the internal strife among the域外天魔 lasted for an entire day and night.

By the end, except for a few Demon Sovereigns who managed to escape, all others were killed by Void Tyrant Lord himself.

The Void Tyrant Lord, having reduced his own subordinates to such a state, was left in tears. Calming down, he gazed at the ruined scene, feeling an indescribable sorrow.

He never imagined ending up in this situation.

If it had been due to inferior strength and inability to defeat the opponent, that would have made sense, wouldn’t it?

This total annihilation was a complete surprise; Nai Long True Man hadn’t even seen his face. The other party was just too shameless.

The Void Tyrant Lord’s heart felt cold as he cursed loudly, calling Nai Long a timid mouse who dared not engage in direct combat.

Unexpectedly, this curse actually brought Nai Long True Man out of hiding.

Don’t misunderstand; Nai Long True Man wasn’t acting on a whim. A few curses were nothing significant.

He did so for a reason.

With the million demon troops now reduced to ashes, the remaining stragglers posed no threat.

Although the Void Tyrant Lord had defeated those rebelling Demon Sovereigns, he was far from unscathed. He faced nearly a hundred渡劫级别的域外天魔 at once, as the saying went: "A thousand enemies killed, eight hundred self-inflicted."

Though his injuries weren’t mentioned, after this night’s battle, his magical power had almost run out.

When Nai Long True Man stepped forward, he was smug and raised his head high. He made a gesture he thought looked cool before clearing his throat: "A man can be killed but not humiliated. Void Tyrant, have you cursed enough? Do you only know how to use your words? You wanted to fight me fair and square, so here I am. Let’s settle this fairly; let you lose in such a way that you’ll feel truly defeated."

Hearing Nai Long True Man's challenge, the Void Tyrant Lord was stunned into silence. This called for fairness? What audacity!

But now that it had come to this, blaming Nai Long True Man wouldn’t help. He was already shameless.

Moreover, he really harbored a grudge. Falling to such a state was all because of Nai Long’s trap. He wished to tear him limb from limb. Thus, despite his injuries and depleted magical power, the Void Tyrant Lord roared as he charged at Nai Long True Man.

PS: First chapter. I’ll post another one later tonight. The outcome for the域外天魔 besieging Penglai Immortal Island was such that no one expected it! (To be continued...)
