Chapter 1340: No Need for Eternal Farewells
"Wife, hold on for a while.
I’ll be back soon to save you!"
As the doors opened, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and immediately entered the grand hall.
With a heavy thud, the doors slammed shut behind him.
Seeing this, You Yue and Huo Ling’s expressions grew even more tense.
The Void Devourer’s aura seemed to grow even more violent.
It appeared to be furious.
In the next moment, the Void Devourer’s irregular energy form suddenly solidified.
It transformed into the shape of a dragon.
Being formless and irregular, it could take on any shape.
As the black dragon appeared, it hurled a dark energy ball toward the Demon Warrior Legion.
The power of this energy ball was no weaker than the Demon Warrior Legion’s killing intent energy ball.
In fact, it seemed slightly stronger.
It carried a vast devouring force.
Wherever it passed, the energy in the void seemed to be completely devoured.
As it traveled, the energy ball grew stronger and more intense.
"Legion Holy Shield!"
You Yue’s expression turned resolute.
But faced with the Void Devourer’s violent assault, the Demon Warrior Legion could only defend passively.
She knew that the Demon Warrior Legion, with its two thousand five hundred members, was too large.
When facing an enemy of the same level, losing the initiative would put them at a severe disadvantage.
The killing intent dragon coiled up again.
As the Legion Holy Shield formed, You Yue could only pray silently.
"I hope my husband can hurry."
Even at this moment, after witnessing the Void Devourer’s power, You Yue still had complete faith in Su Jingzhen.
On the other side, Su Jingzhen entered the grand hall.
Like the Ancient Desolate Demon Sect and the Ancient Earth Demon Sect, this place was also a sea of stars.
In fact, the stars here seemed even more dazzling.
Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Demon God mark on his brow to its fullest extent.
Sure enough, as it sensed this aura, a powerful presence deep within the stars began to awaken.
Just like the previous two times.
Soon, the aura of the Ancient Mystic Demon King surged to its peak.
Like the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the Ancient Earth Demon King, a massive illusory figure formed.
When his gaze fell on Su Jingzhen, he knelt on one knee.
"Ancient Mystic pays respects to the Demon God!"
The Ancient Mystic Demon King’s illusory face was filled with boundless excitement.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen didn’t have time to explain much.
Seeing that his consciousness had fully awakened, he immediately said:
"Your mount, the Void Devourer, is causing chaos outside. It doesn’t recognize my Demon God mark.
I need you to come out with me and bring it here. Can you make it stop?"
Su Jingzhen got straight to the point.
Hearing this, the Ancient Mystic Demon King was stunned, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Demon God, are you saying… are you saying my mount, the Void Devourer, is still alive?"
He seemed unable to believe what he was hearing.
Seeing his reaction, Su Jingzhen didn’t waste time.
"Hurry, hurry! Lives are at stake!
That beast is too powerful. I can’t handle it right now.
If we’re late, my important people will be torn apart."
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen prepared to take the Ancient Mystic Demon King outside.
However, the Ancient Mystic Demon King’s expression turned troubled.
"Demon God, in my current state, if I leave this place, I will surely dissipate.
Do you have a way to bring it inside?"
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen frowned slightly.
He then took out the black brick again.
The power of the world enveloped the Ancient Mystic Demon King.
"I’ll explain everything else later.
For now, come with me. With this power protecting you, you won’t dissipate immediately.
Besides, the Ancient Earth Demon King and the Ancient Desolate Demon King are already waiting for you in a certain place. Come with me."
He was truly worried that the Demon Warrior Legion wouldn’t be a match for the Void Devourer.
Hearing this and feeling the power of the world surrounding him, the Ancient Mystic Demon King was once again shocked.
But he could sense that the power of the world was extremely advanced.
It could indeed protect his remnant consciousness from dissipating.
Without hesitation, he followed Su Jingzhen to the grand hall’s entrance.
The doors suddenly opened again.
A flash of runic light illuminated the scene outside the hall, revealing the situation to Su Jingzhen and the Ancient Mystic Demon King.
At this moment, You Yue was still controlling the killing intent dragon, forming the Legion Holy Shield.
They were firmly protected.
However, the killing intent dragon’s aura was weakening.
The Legion Holy Shield seemed on the verge of collapsing.
The Demon Warrior Legion had been suppressed by the Void Devourer from the beginning.
At this moment, as the first attack faded, another energy ball, carrying a vast devouring force, hurtled toward the killing intent dragon.
As it struck the Legion Holy Shield, the shield shattered.
The Void Devourer, still in its dragon form, had a cruel glint in its eyes.
It immediately charged toward the Demon Warrior Legion, now unprotected by the Legion Holy Shield.
Seeing this, You Yue’s expression turned resolute.
The remaining members of the Demon Warrior Legion paled, a hint of despair in their eyes.
They knew that they had been passive against the Void Devourer all along.
Now, with this energy ball approaching, without protection, it was like asking most of the legion’s weaker members to withstand a half-step Demon King’s attack.
"Sigh… Although our time in the Demon Warrior Legion has been short, it has indeed been glorious."
"We’ve destroyed hundreds of legions. We have no regrets."
"Following the Legion Commander and the Grand Commander has been worth it."
"..."
At this moment, many members of the Demon Warrior Legion had a look of resignation but not much fear.
However, just as everyone prepared to face death, a sacred and mysterious energy barrier appeared in front of the Demon Warrior Legion.
The Void Devourer’s energy ball struck the barrier and was neutralized.
No violent energy fluctuations erupted.
"What… what’s going on?"
"The Grand Commander… the Grand Commander is here!"
"I knew we could trust the Grand Commander."
"..."
At this moment, all members of the Demon Warrior Legion turned to see Su Jingzhen and the Ancient Mystic Demon King standing at the grand hall’s entrance.
Both of them radiated powerful energy fluctuations.
The mysterious barrier that had just appeared was clearly the work of the Ancient Mystic Demon King.
Seeing the Ancient Mystic Demon King’s figure and sensing his unique aura, the Void Devourer, still in its dragon form, suddenly stopped.
It let out a strange, mournful sound.
It was like a child who had been separated from family for countless years, finally seeing a loved one, filled with endless grievances and longing.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen sighed softly.
The Ancient Mystic Demon King’s eyes also showed a hint of pity.
"Come, come…"
His illusory face showed a kind expression.
He beckoned to the Void Devourer.
The Void Devourer’s irregular form instantly transformed into a crane and flew to the Ancient Mystic Demon King’s side.
It affectionately nuzzled his illusory figure.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen looked at You Yue and the others, who were still shaken.
"It’s alright now.
Wife, you can explore the Ancient Mystic City freely.
Soon, this city will also disappear."
Su Jingzhen spoke to You Yue and the others, then, without waiting for a response, returned to the grand hall.
The doors closed.
You Yue and the others couldn’t see what was happening inside.
For the members of the Demon Warrior Legion, although they were still in shock, they finally relaxed.
The feeling of escaping death was truly exhilarating.
"It really is the Grand Commander."
"Was that illusory figure the legendary Ancient Mystic Demon King?"
"This is the core of the Ancient Mystic City. Only a Demon King could so easily stop a half-step Demon King-level Void Devourer.
I didn’t expect the Grand Commander to be on equal footing with such an ancient Demon King."
Everyone excitedly discussed, their faces filled with admiration.
Su Jingzhen, of course, didn’t know what everyone was thinking.
At this moment, he, the Ancient Mystic Demon King, and the Void Devourer had returned to the sea of stars within the grand hall.
Standing there, the Ancient Mystic Demon King gently stroked the Void Devourer’s head.
His expression was filled with emotion.
"I’m glad to see you again.
However, meeting again after countless years might truly be our final farewell."
The Ancient Mystic Demon King spoke to the Void Devourer.
The Void Devourer let out another mournful sound.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled. "A final farewell isn’t necessary.
As I said, the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the Ancient Earth Demon King are waiting for you in a good place.
There’s no need for such sad words.
Also, there’s a misunderstanding. I’m not the Demon God, just the Demon God’s envoy in the mortal world."
Su Jingzhen briefly explained, then took out the black brick again.
"Now, Demon King, relax all resistance. I’ll take you to meet your old friends."
Hearing this, the Ancient Mystic Demon King was stunned again.
But he and the Void Devourer instinctively relaxed all defenses.
In the next moment, a dark light flashed from the black brick.
It enveloped both of them.
In an instant, they disappeared from the sea of stars.
When they reappeared, they were at the Peak of Creation in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
As soon as they arrived, the first thing they saw was Little Green’s towering tree form.
Seeing this, the Ancient Mystic Demon King was stunned.
His expression was quickly replaced by awe.
"Is this… is this the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?
Envoy, is this the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?"
The Ancient Mystic Demon King seemed unable to believe what he was seeing.
He instinctively looked at Su Jingzhen.
"As you can see, this is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
So, in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Ancient Mystic Demon King, there’s no need to talk about final farewells."
As he spoke, the figures of the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the Ancient Earth Demon King quickly approached.
"Haha, Ancient Mystic Demon King, you’ve finally arrived!"
