The Elder Cyan Dragon's speech was nothing short of earth-shattering.
Several Great Emperors wanted to rebut, but they couldn't find the words.
He wasn't wrong.
The Demon Race suddenly lost seven Great Emperors, their power halved, utterly incapable of maintaining such a large territory in the Demon Realm.
That's how the Cultivation Realm is.
If you are weak, enemies will seize the opportunity; righteousness is not part of the equation.
Under these circumstances, the Immortal and Demon Realms will definitely strike decisively to invade the Demon Realm.
Even the Spirit Realm, the herworld, and the Barbaric Realm might move in to take a share.
"Moreover, Cang Ling's relationship with that kid is anything but ordinary!"
The Cyan Dragon Emperor slyly threw out new information.
"Once that kid leaves, Cang Ling may very well lead the Azure Dragon Race to follow him."
"When that time comes, it will be just us facing the Five Realms' assault."
This...
The various Great Emperors were even more at their wits' end.
With just their remaining 11 Demon Emperors, there is no way to fend off the external enemies.
The previously undecided Kunpeng Emperor immediately expressed his stance.
"I support Jiang Cheng as the Master of Grand Demon!"
The Golden Wolf Emperor followed suit, "I also support."
The other Great Emperors all changed their attitudes.
"Support!"
"That kid took down seven Demon Emperors, so he must fill this gap himself!"
Not only did they support, but their resolve was also unwavering.
"He must stay in the Demon Realm and face the external enemies with us!"
"This position of Lord of the Demon Realm, he has no choice but to accept!"
Finally, only the Ice Phoenix Emperor remained.
Upon realizing all the Demon Emperors were looking at her, Ji Yao could only sigh.
"Then let's support him and hope he can truly sustain the Demon Realm, at least maintain the status quo, and not lose more land to the Immortal and Demon Realms."
A moment later, the 11 Demon Emperors came out in a procession and returned outside.
The number of demons gathered not only hadn't decreased but had grown even larger.
The battle between Cang Ling and the two Qilin Emperors was sensed by all races across the Demon Realm.
Everyone knew something major had occurred.
Some tribes not too far away hurried over as well.
"After the Celestial Division's deliberation..."
The Elder Cyan Dragon and the Ice Phoenix Emperor flew to the forefront.
"We have decided to elect Jiang Cheng as the Master of Grand Demon!"
"Effective immediately, the Demon Realm is under Jiang Cheng's command. All races shall follow the orders and provide full support..."
When this decision was announced by the two Ancient Emperors, and the nine Emperors nodded in agreement behind them, the scene erupted again.
Did this truly receive unanimous approval from the Emperors?
"Master of Grand Demon!"
"Lord of the Demon Realm!"
"Hail the Demon Lord!"
Countless demons cheered joyfully, celebrating the rise of the first King of All Demons in the Demon Realm.
Surrounded by Cang Ling and the other 11 Demon Emperors, Brother Cheng stepped through the void and walked to the outside of the Grand Demon Palace's Celestial Division's hall,
and turned to face the endless mass of demon tribes below, feeling a stirring in his heart.
To be precise, the Great Sages of the Four Races in the Profound Realm once held the paramount position in that realm, even higher than the Lord of the Demon Realm.
But in terms of spectacle and momentum, this time was far more breathtaking.
Facing countless demons, he delivered his ascension declaration.
"Rest assured, with me here, the Demon Realm will be the strongest of the Six Realms!"
Pfft!
The Elder Cyan Dragon and Ice Phoenix Emperor nearly spewed their drinks.
Can you please say something normal?
The strongest of the Six Realms...
This was indeed over-the-top, way over.
Indeed, Brother Cheng had slain seven Demon Emperors today, an extremely formidable feat.
Deep down, they even began to wonder if this kid was truly the strongest expert of the Six Realms.
However, the Immortal, Demon, Spirit, and her realms still have Returning Immortals.
And the Barbaric Realm has Mang Ye, the once true strongest.
In their view, Brother Cheng is just a more powerful Returning Immortal.
When encountering other Returning Immortals, he likely wouldn't have much advantage, at the very least, he wouldn't continue his overwhelming dominance.
Apart from this aspect, the difference between the Empire Realm of the Demon Emperors and those of the Immortal and Demon Realms is dozens of times!
They are simply not on the same level, are they?
This claim of being the strongest of the Six Realms is truly blown out of proportion.
Yet the demons below didn't care about any of this.
Hearing this 'simple yet arrogant' declaration, they supported Brother Cheng even more!
"Great! That's the kind of boldness we need!"
"This is the undisputed Master of Grand Demon!"
"That's Emperor Cang Cheng for you!"
"Awooo... We finally have a towering and powerful leader, unlike those Qilins of the past!"
"Exactly, exactly, our Demon Realm should indeed be the strongest!"
"Back when Emperor Cang Cheng was the Lord of the Earth Division, I already wanted to follow him to the frontlines of the Immortal Demon Mountain."
"Wherever the Demon Lord plans to attack next, just say the word, and our Lion Race is willing to lead the charge!"
"Our Snake Race is also willing to lay down our lives for the Demon Lord!"
"The Rhino Race is ready to follow the Master of Grand Demon into battle!"
The various Demon Emperors originally thought that Jiang Cheng's recent ascension and unsteady foundation might not gain the people's support.
After all, he has only been in the Demon Realm for a million years, and during that time, he was in the Profound Realm.
Apart from the Dragon Race, the other tribes had no encounters with him, so there was no familiarization at all.
For someone like that to suddenly be elected as the king of the demon race, dissatisfaction was inevitable.
They had even considered helping Jiang Cheng win the hearts of the various tribes.
Yet, they suddenly realized at this moment that this kid's prestige was unexpectedly higher than their own.
The many battles Jiang Cheng waged on the Immortal Demon Mountain in the past had a profound impact.
Those victories repeatedly uplifted the spirits of the lower-tier demons.
It was the first time after the rise of the Immortal and Demon forces, with the decline of the demon realm, that someone stood out to reclaim the demon realm's dignity.
From then on, this Lord of the Earth Division had already become a hero in the hearts of countless demons.
His absence for that million years was remembered not only by the Sparrow Race.
The suppression of the Qilin Camp merely kept that admiration deep in their hearts, hidden.
Today, whether it's Cyan Dragon, Ice Phoenix, or Cang Ling, becoming the Master of Grand Demon would leave many demons secretly dissatisfied.
Only Jiang Cheng could receive such overwhelming support.
Of course, except for those tribes under the Qilin Camp...
The news of the change in the Demon Realm quickly spread to other realms.
Learning that Jiang Cheng and Cang Ling had returned, the Immortal and Demon Realms were incredibly shocked.
And when the annihilation of the Qilin Camp became known, the other five realms were astir.
These series of events were simply too sensational.
"Jiexin Jiang Cheng from back then is actually still alive?"
"Emperors Mo Lin and Yulin are actually dead?"
"They were Ancient Creatures, present since the early days of the Immortal Realm, having withstood numerous great tribulations."
"There's no mistake, Jiang Cheng has been directly elected as the Lord of the Demon Realm!"
"Incredible, what exactly happened?"
"Damn, to instantly slay seven Demon Emperors, what kind of combat power is this?"
"I don't believe he did it alone; it's said Cang Ling also took action, and I suspect other Demon Emperors joined the attack."
"It must be like this; no one can be that powerful."
