World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2143: Chapter 1024: Break! Break! Break! Ghosts Wail and Wolves Howl!

Kui Shuangshuang closed her beautiful eyes, calming her heart. After a long moment, she opened them and looked at Fu Lingxi, saying, "Perhaps, Demon Emperor Lanling simply can’t break through this energy barrier. Maybe the plan you mentioned is precisely his scheme. He’s using our psychology to force us into rebellion, causing another split within the Sky Holy Palace. Once we start rebelling, we’ll have no way back and can only follow the Demon Emperor to the end. Then, he might order us to seize Gu Ban or Ning Wuya to open the second energy barrier. This might be his trick to definitely break the energy barrier in three days."

Fu Lingxi’s face immediately turned cold, saying, "Are you implying refusal?"

Kui Shuangshuang said, "Surrender is still an option, but not now. Maybe when forced into a corner, I will be willing to surrender, but definitely not now to become cannon fodder, becoming the cannon fodder for Demon Emperor Lanling to break through the second barrier."

Demon Emperor Lanling still has many family members deep inside the Sky Holy Palace, so surrendering still seems possible.

"Don’t say so much, I just ask you to agree or refuse," said Fu Lingxi.

"I refuse," Kui Shuangshuang said unequivocally.

"Fine, fine, I hope you don’t regret it later," Fu Lingxi said coldly before retreating.

...

Half an hour later, Fu Lingxi appeared in front of Tian Daoqi, recounting her dialogue with Kui Shuangshuang in detail.

"Good, you’ve done very well," Tian Daoqi said, "In this way, our last flaw has been patched."

Fu Lingxi flattered, "Your Majesty is wise. Now I see that Demon Emperor Lanling indeed has no ability to break the energy barrier. He just hopes for internal chaos since our energy barrier is indestructible and can only be broken from within. Now Your Majesty has suppressed all potential internal chaos points, and Demon Emperor Lanling has no more chances. In three days, Demon Emperor Lanling will surely return in failure, and once he can’t break the energy barrier after boasting, his undefeated image will shatter. Then, not many in the Sky Holy Palace will fear or surrender to him."

Tian Daoqi smiled slightly, indicating that saying it this way makes it lose its fun.

...

Time passed quickly, the first day passed, the second day passed, and the third day arrived!

Demon Emperor Lanling claimed he would break the energy barrier in three days, now the third day has arrived!

Within the second defense line’s energy barrier, a million troops of the Sky Holy Palace were standing ready, with the four major leaders each performing their duties.

Ji Xiuning was imprisoned in a special energy prison, guarded by thirteen king-level powerhouses, unable to stir up trouble.

The remaining fifty king-level powerhouses of the Sky Holy Palace were also stationed in front of every energy array.

The Sanctuary Legion had already prepared for a great battle, just waiting for Demon Emperor Lanling to attack.

And the outermost layer of the Sky Holy Palace.

Fang Naide led over five thousand surrendered people, all ready and neat, kneeling in Driftsquare, prepared to fight alongside the Demon Emperor at his command against the Sky Holy Palace’s second line of defense.

However, there was no movement from Demon Emperor Lanling inside the Palace of Joy.

He was still enjoying himself with Na Xue and the beauties of the Witch Kingdom, even certain seductive sounds reached outside, showing no intention to start a battle.

Meanwhile, the Hell Knight and three hundred Sub-King Layer powerhouses guarded every part of the Palace of Joy, always expressionless.

Time ticked away second by second.

The whole morning passed.

The fake energy sun of the Sky Holy Palace rose into the sky; it was already noon.

But there was still no movement from Demon Emperor Lanling.

One o’clock in the afternoon, two, three, four, five...

The sun of the Sky Holy Palace was about to set! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Fang Naide and the over five thousand surrenderists kneeling in Driftsquare were anxious.

Was Demon Emperor Lanling going to attack or not?

He had decreed that he would definitely break the second energy barrier of the Sky Holy Palace in three days.

If he failed, his emperor’s credibility would be destroyed, and at that point, it would be a devastating blow to Fang Naide and these surrenderists.

At this moment, the hearts of these over five thousand surrenderists were already shaky, starting to doubt and even blame Demon Emperor Lanling.

If the Demon Emperor couldn’t break the energy barrier, he would have utterly deceived them. Not being strong enough yet manipulating them into surrendering to him?

...

As the energy sun of the Sky Holy Palace gradually set.

The Sky Holy Palace’s legion inside the second energy barrier became more relaxed, starting to mock and ridicule.

"What kind of Demon Emperor is this? Just a braggart."

"He said he would break the energy barrier in three days. How? There’s no movement at all now."

"I realized this Demon Emperor is just bluffing, not worth fearing."

"Yeah, can’t even break an energy barrier, what use is he? Did you notice? The only reason he could enter the outer layer of the Sky Holy Palace wasn’t his ability; it was Fang Naide’s traitors who opened the doors for him."

"Hahaha, Fang Naide’s thousands are doomed, good thing I didn’t surrender!"

Amidst various narratives, Ning Wuya and Gu Ban relaxed slightly.

Today’s situation was already settled; Demon Emperor Lanling simply couldn’t break the energy barrier, and his imperial reputation was destined to collapse.

The claim to break through the second defense line in three days completely became a total joke.

...

Inside the energy barrier, at the Southern Energy Gate of the second defense line.

Ning Wuya, one of the four major leaders, guarded this Southern Energy Gate and said to Kui Shuangshuang beside him, "Did you see? Demon Emperor Lanling was all bluff, luckily you didn’t lose your mind and surrender. After today, Demon Emperor Lanling’s decree becomes a joke."

"Oh, really?" said Kui Shuangshuang.

But her voice changed, it was Demon Emperor Lanling’s voice.

Ning Wuya’s body shook violently, he turned around, and then witnessed an extremely shocking scene.

Kui Shuangshuang instantly transformed into Demon Emperor Lanling, and her body grew larger and larger.

Tens of meters, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters...

The gigantic figure of Demon Emperor Lanling, tens of thousands of meters high, suddenly stood among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Sky Holy Palace Legion.

He stooped down, grabbed Ning Wuya like a child, then straightened his body tens of thousands of meters, and coldly said to the tens of thousands of troops of the Sky Holy Palace, "I was playing with women in the Palace of Joy, so I’m a bit late. You were here chattering, saying Demon Emperor Lanling’s imperial reputation was destroyed, saying breaking the second defense line in three days was a joke. I ask you, has the third day ended now?"

The hundreds of thousands of troops at his feet shivered fiercely, incredulously watching this scene.

What, what is happening?

How did Demon Emperor Lanling suddenly appear inside the energy barrier?

"I ask you, has the third day ended?" Demon Emperor Lanling shouted explosively.

"Haha!"

A sudden dragon chant and demonic roar!

Suddenly, tens of thousands of the Sanctuary Legion flew up like paper, shattered bones in the air.
