Lanling shook his head and said, "No, let’s talk about it later. If I stay here any longer, my Fla Demon Empire will be finished, my family, my loved ones will also be finished."
The Demon Prison Manager sighed and did not speak.
"Can I take this Crow Crying Sword with ?" Lanling asked.
The Demon Prison Manager said, "It is yours, perhaps it is truly destined for you. In the hands of the previous Demon Emperor candidate, it beca a harmful weapon, but in your hands, it beca a divine artifact."
Lanling took the Crow Crying Sword and was about to leave.
The Demon Prison Manager said, "Your Majesty, are you sure you don’t want to stay inside to continue your cultivation? You might as well breakthrough the last layer of the Heavenly Demon Tower here before leaving, it would only take twenty years of real-world ti."
Twenty years of real-world ti?
Converting to secret realm ti, wouldn’t that be two hundred years?
But it’s normal, the first Heavenly Demon Tower took Lanling nearly three years for the hell-level trial.
Just that, in twenty years, Lanling’s empire, Lanling’s family, would really be completely finished, and he’d beco a lonely man upon leaving.
"No..." Lanling said.
The Demon Prison Manager said, "But... it might not be that easy for you to co for a trial next ti."
Lanling said, "Why?"
The Demon Prison Manager said, "Because the Dragon Temple has been infiltrating, continually trying to take control of the Demonic Prison Secret Realm. In other words, they have always been trying to remodel ."
The Demon Prison Manager is an energy lifeform, so naturally, it can be remodeled.
Lanling said, "Are they almost succeeding?"
"Not yet..." the Demon Prison Manager said. "However, they’ve been remodeling for countless years. Once they break through, the next ti you co for trial, the Demon Prison Manager you face will not be , but an energy lifeform of the Dragon Temple. You can imagine the consequences."
This is absolutely bad news, terribly bad news.
Lanling said, "How much longer can you hold on?"
"I don’t know..." the Demon Prison Manager said. "To be honest, after countless years of struggle, I almost reached a point of collapse. Your appearance reignited my fighting spirit. Earlier, I saw no hope. In three ten-thousand years, only one Demon Emperor candidate successfully beca the Demon Emperor, but he eventually failed too. One candidate after another ca in, and one after another failed and died, not even obtaining the Demon Emperor’s legacy. Furthermore, these candidates beca weaker and weaker, and you turned out to be the weakest. I was truly about to despair, but you brought great surprise. You also made realize that the Destiny of the Demon Emperor can only be grasped by oneself, others’ help is a kind of desecration because no one knows how to walk this path of the Demon Emperor, it can only be walked by oneself."
Lanling nodded, then was about to leave.
The Demon Prison Manager said, "Your Majesty, don’t make wait too long, I hope you can co back to cultivate soon. Moreover... once you truly break through to beco the Demon King, you can search for the Demon Emperor’s legacy, and I can then tell you the secrets of the Demon Emperor’s legacy. I can’t tell you now because you don’t have enough strength to protect this secret."
"Alright!" Lanling said, "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye..." the Demon Prison Manager said bitterly, his voice full of reluctance.
Lanling left the Heavenly Demon Tower, returned to the energy void, and flew towards the Eternal Curse World, as he needed to pass through the Eternal Curse World to return to the Southern Barbaric Lands.
...
The epic showdown between Princess Di Nie and Princess Na Xue had been going on for more than a month.
What kind of war is the most terrifying? A war where the forces are evenly matched!
Without a doubt, this was the most bloody and brutal war in the history of the Southern Barbaric Lands.
It was more than ten tis as grueso as the duel between Lanling and Crown Prince Tiancha.
A hundred tis more brutal than the previous war between the Demon Alliance and the Demon Empire on the united front.
After Princess Di Nie seized Yun E Royal City, Princess Na Xue’s million-strong legion launched a frenzied attack.
Forty days of warfare!
The ground was littered with corpses, heaps of bodies and seas of blood couldn’t adequately describe the battlefield!
Within a three hundred mile radius of Yun E Royal City, it had beco a complete dead zone!
Every inch of this ground had beco a sickly and terrifying ghostly swamp. Just like the Zerg Base in StarCraft or the Undead Base in Warcraft.
Tens of thousands of square kiloters had beco a life-prohibited zone.
People with low cultivation levels would rot and die from rely breathing the air here.
Both Princess Di Nie and Princess Na Xue’s armies suffered astonishing casualties.
Princess Na Xue initially entered Yun E with a seven million-strong army, while Princess Di Nie had five million.
However, once the battle comnced, both sides continuously reinforced their troops, gained more and more soldiers.
The war was appallingly brutal from the start.
On the very first day alone, the death toll on both sides exceeded three million four hundred thousand.
Though the numbers didn’t remain that horrifying in the following days, at least hundreds of thousands died each day.
To sum it up in one sentence, both sides were willing to bleed to the last drop for Yun E Royal City.
Princess Na Xue continually recruited, continually deployed large armies.
Princess Di Nie did the sa, mobilizing forces from the Tiancha tribe, Witch Kingdom, Winged Tribe, and occupied territory’s tribes.
Due to the evenly matched forces, this war beca a dreadful stalemate.
This battlefield, less than fifty thousand square kiloters, beca an absolute at grinder.
In over a month, both sides lost a total of fifteen million troops on this battlefield.
Princess Na Xue’s Bloodsucking Demon Race suffered over eight million casualties, while Princess Di Nie lost over six million.
This horrifying casualty rate not only made the kings of the You Ming and Bloodsucking Demon Race Alliance tremble, but even Tiancha King felt petrified.
The fallen weren’t just the ordinary soldiers, many Demon Saint Layer powerhouses also fell.
Demon Venerable and Demon Sect Layer powerhouses, many died.
Three surrendered Demon Kings to Princess Na Xue had already beco first-rate Bloodsucking Demons, and yet one died. Among sixteen Demon Saint Layer dignitaries, seven perished.
The Sub-King Layer Emperor Di Ming had gone into battle more than once.
The Witch Queen had gone into battle more than once.
These top demon powerhouses were slaughtered on this hellish battlefield like ordinary cannon fodder.
But despite the heavy losses, neither Princess Na Xue nor Princess Di Nie showed any change of expression, continuing to throw themselves into the fray with madness, neither side showing any sign of retreat or compromise. It seed they were willing to expend every last man and every last drop of blood for Yun E Royal City.
After thirty-nine days of battle!
Now, the battle was finally coming to an end. After all, Na Xue’s territory was too small, her foundation was no match for the alliance of Tiancha King and Di Nie.
She truly had no power to continue fighting; if she did, even if she and Di Nie ended up destroying each other, it would still be difficult to seize Yun E Royal City.
So, essentially, in this war, she lost!
Though strategically she captured half of the Yun E territory, she lost in the decisive battle against Di Nie!
