On the surface, the immortal soul of Wushang Demon Emperor seemed no less imposing than Jiang Cheng.
After all, Brother Cheng's immortal soul had been detached for quite some time without a host, far from its peak power.
And Wushang Demon Emperor was, after all, in the Emperor Realm.
He was fighting on his home ground in the Sea of Souls.
But the outcome was far from what was expected.
Brother Cheng's immortal soul was mutated; upon contact, Wushang Demon Emperor's soul almost disintegrated on touch.
In a brief moment, it weakened.
"No!"
"It's you, it turns out to be you..."
"How did the Heavenly Dao not stop you!"
He finally recognized the person before him.
At this moment, he understood many things.
No wonder a mere Celestial Immortal could achieve so many miracles.
If that person was backing him up, everything made sense.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.
If he had also followed the trend and surrendered, Brother Cheng wouldn't have killed him, and per 'tradition' would have crafted him an Immortal Artifact.
But he insisted on fighting, so Sect Leader Jiang naturally fulfilled his wish for battle.
And the result of the battle was death.
A gust of wind blew through, extinguishing Wushang Demon Emperor's soul like a candle in the wind.
Poof!
His tall figure fell straight to the ground.
While Sect Leader Jiang returned to the sword scabbard.
"Claim his spoils!"
Upon hearing the transmission, Cai Ying hurriedly collected the sword and ran excitedly to gather Wushang Demon Emperor's equipment and ring.
Everyone below the stage looked dumbfounded, completely unable to comprehend.
What exactly happened?
Why did Wushang Demon Emperor fall?
Was it some kind of deliberate trick?
It was only after Cai Ying had collected the spoils, and the competition space had been removed, that everyone awoke as if from a dream.
"Wushang Demon Emperor is dead!"
"What the hell, how is this possible?"
"Why did he suddenly die?"
Everyone, from the demon emperors on the high platform to all the demon cultivators present, and even those across the Immortal and Demon Realms following the battle, were completely baffled.
"Who killed him?"
"Standing opposite him was Cai Ying, who else could it be? Didn't you see her aiming the sword at Wushang Demon Emperor earlier?"
"Perhaps they were secretly engaged in a fierce battle!"
"Cai Ying? It was Cai Ying?"
"She's just a Celestial Immortal, how could she achieve such a thing?"
At this moment, no one was celebrating the emergence of the ultimate champion.
Everyone was plunged into profound shock and confusion.
They were utterly unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"How could Cai Ying be so strong?"
"She's definitely just a Celestial Immortal, I can be certain!"
"Oh my god, what exactly is going on here?"
Countless people stared at that figure, feeling she was shrouded in the most mysterious aura.
Completely inscrutable.
"It's that sword!"
"Her sword absolutely has something strange about it!"
Taie Demon Emperor suddenly 'realized'!
Pointing at the Tier Seven Immortal Sword in Cai Ying's hand, he roared loudly.
"I find it odd; since she can easily craft Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts, how could she possibly still use only a Tier Seven Immortal Artifact?"
"That sword definitely isn't Tier Seven!"
"It's very likely the legendary Supreme Divine Artifact!"
"What?"
"Divine Artifact?"
As everyone intensely looked at the sword in Cai Ying's hand, she had already been transmitted to the high platform, ready to receive the 'award'.
In fact, she had to thank Wushang Demon Emperor for his prior extortion, as now the increased first-place reward belonged to her.
All the demon emperors looked at her figure, their eyes flickering constantly, their murderous intent undisguised.
Brother Cheng actually knew that these people were about to make a deadly move against Cai Ying.
Seeing that group of utterly loyal quasi-emperors... her Artifact Refining Technique was sufficient to change the entire pattern of the Demon Realm.
Yet she refused to be used by the Sanctuary, and stood opposite it.
With the Sanctuary's style of favoring those who obey and destroying those who defy, it was impossible for such a threat to continue living.
Unable to openly kill her during the competition.
The next plot was likely the demon emperors directly attacking, ignoring the rules.
Anyway, the Evangelical Assembly had already been ruined into a farce by me, now it was time to fan the flames and turn the Sanctuary into a complete joke.
"Alright, remove the transformation."
Upon hearing his transmission, Cai Ying was extremely startled.
"Remove the transformation now, wouldn't they..."
"If you don't remove the transformation, they won't spare you either. Don't worry, I will resurrect you later."
If it were the former Little Sparrow Demon, she might have been scared to tears.
Even if she could be resurrected later, being killed in that instant would still be terrifying.
But now, she didn't even frown.
"Alright!"
When a ray of light flashed over her body, and her human form disappeared, a multi-colored sparrow demon appeared before everyone, it was as if the entire audience had been struck by lightning.
"She..."
"Sparrow Demon?"
Many people's eyes nearly popped out.
"Master Cai Ying is actually a Sparrow Demon?"
"Demon Race?"
The faces of the Sanctuary Demon Emperors turned green.
A Celestial Immortal taking the championship at the Evangelical Assembly was already a disgrace.
This Celestial Immortal being from the Demon Race increased the humiliation by countless times!
"My god, it's actually a Sparrow Demon?"
Countless people questioned their existence.
"A Sparrow Demon took the top spot at the Demon Realm's Evangelical Assembly?"
"What does this count as?"
Everyone from the Sanctuary felt as if they'd been slapped countless times, and even many demon cultivators were deeply ashamed.
Even on the Immortal Alliance side, Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor was tongue-tied, speechless for a long time.
They had speculated the identity of this 'Master Cai Ying' countless times.
But never in their wildest dreams did they guess she was just a little Sparrow Demon.
Even in the Demon Realm, she's at the bottom.
And yet, this very Sparrow Demon became the center of attention as the top of the two-stroke Demon Realm.
"The Sanctuary is from now on a joke."
"The Evangelical Assembly... will never happen again."
The Sanctuary has been the mortal enemy of the Immortal Alliance for many years, but upon saying this, Emperor Jiu Jue found he didn't feel any schadenfreude.
He only felt cold sweat on his back.
Fortunately, it wasn't the Immortal Alliance.
If the Immortal Alliance were subjected to such a scheme, he'd probably be mad right now.
Meanwhile, outside, Elder Cyan Dragon, Ice Phoenix, White Tiger, Kunpeng, and other demon emperors laughed heartily.
"Hahaha!"
"It turns out it was all for this moment..."
"The Sanctuary deserves it, haha!"
"The Demon Lord is wise!"
"But... how will the Demon Lord survive now?"
Just as Elder Cyan Dragon suddenly thought of this, the high-level Sanctuary members inside could no longer hold back their anger.
"Die!"
Taie and You Xue Gold Essence, the three top Great Emperors, suddenly struck simultaneously!
"No..."
"Stop!"
The quasi-emperors beneath the stage nearly went mad upon seeing this scene.
Even knowing she was a member of the Sparrow Race, they still didn't want to see her die like this.
They were hoping that one day Master Cai Ying could craft Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts for them.
Even if she was part of the Demon Race, it didn't affect her Artifact Refining Technique.
If she died, then their hopes would be dashed.
Yet it was already too late.
The three top Great Emperors attacked simultaneously, and the remaining demon emperors seemed to have rehearsed, preemptively blocking the quasi-emperors outside.
