Having revealed their identities, the three realms would naturally have to join forces to fight the enemy in order to protect themselves.
It makes no difference whether they eliminate the demon god or perish together with it.
In any case, the final result is that Yu Xinyi will become the Demon Lord without any obstacles. No one will remember the Demon God anymore. As time goes by, the Demon Realm will only recognize the future Demon Lord - Yu Xinyi.
"Impressive." Liu Lanyan clapped her hands and chuckled. "As expected of the Demon Lord, your calculations are truly flawless."
The Demon Lord smiled slightly and said modestly, "I dare not compete with the Venerable Lord. The truly powerful one is the Venerable Lord."
If we're talking about who's more powerful or ruthless, he's really no match for the Demon God.
The demon god is ruthless not only to others, but even more ruthless to himself.
He witnessed the turmoil of a thousand years ago and the protection of a thousand years of time.
He genuinely believed that the demon realm had done the demon god a great favor, which was why the demon god was willing to make such a reckless sacrifice.
Liu Lanyan glanced at Yu Lijing, who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand everything?"
Yu Lijing stared blankly at the Demon Lord. She really hadn't expected the Demon Lord to go to such lengths for the Demon Realm.
Hearing Liu Lanyan's question, Yu Lijing was jolted out of her daze. She glanced at Liu Lanyan and sneered, "Even so, you were kept in the dark by the Demon God."
Yu Lijing just couldn't stand Liu Lanyan's "arrogance." Why did Liu Lanyan act like she knew the Demon God so well?
"Keeped in the dark?" Liu Lanyan asked Yu Lijing, puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you understand? When did the Demon God ever tell you that he had such feelings for the Demon Realm? Hasn't he been lying to you all along that the Demon Realm has been kind to him?" Yu Lijing asked with a sneer, wanting to see Liu Lanyan's frustrated and dejected look.
Why was Liu Lanyan so calm and certain that the Demon God wouldn't lie to her and would always treat her well?
Liu Lanyan sighed helplessly and muttered softly, "Now I finally understand why he never liked you. Your thoughts are really... sigh..."
Liu Lanyan had no way to describe Yu Lijing, so she could only use a long sigh instead.
Just as Yu Lijin was about to jump up and curse angrily, Liu Lanyan stopped her: "Back then, the Demon God also told me that he had a deep bond with the Demon Realm. Now we know exactly what that bond is."
"As for why you insist on bringing up this favor, there's an explanation for that." Liu Lanyan smiled bitterly, glancing at the demon god beside her with heartache. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid there wouldn't be the demon god we know today."
After all, his transformation from a human to a demon god was thanks to the "opportunity" provided by Yu Lijing.
However, just thinking about everything the Demon God had gone through made Liu Lanyan's heart ache unbearably, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily, as if she might fall at any moment.
Her waist tightened as she was encircled by the demon god's strong arms, his long, warm fingers gently caressing her waist, soothing her.
At the same time, it was also telling her that he was alright.
“So…” Mo Yun began, picking up where Liu Lanyan left off, not wanting her to dwell on what was causing her pain, “I must repay this kindness to the Three Realms.”
"I am absolutely not a treacherous person who doesn't repay kindness." Mo Yun slightly raised his head, deliberately emphasizing the word "repay kindness," causing everyone in the Three Realms to tremble in their hearts and turn to look at him.
Just then, I saw the Demon God's flawless face, whose brilliance was still undiminished even in the darkness of night.
The private space was dimly lit, neither too bright nor too dim, yet it allowed one to clearly see Mo Yun's unparalleled elegance.
His jet-black hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, while his white robes, adorned with silver patterns like flowing water, were a striking contrast.
There was not a trace of arrogance, but rather an air of domineering dominance.
Despite his handsome face and warm smile, he chilled everyone to the bone.
The celestial realm, the demon realm, and the monster realm were all on high alert, watching the Demon God's every move with bated breath, fearing that a sudden attack from him would leave them with no chance of victory.
The sun had long since set, and the sky was dark, illuminated only by a sliver of light within the isolated space.
In the dim light, the different thoughts and feelings of everyone are hidden.
Mo Yun, however, seemed oblivious to their various expressions. He turned his head and asked Liu Lanyan with a smile, "How did you find out?"
He thought he had kept it a secret well, so he hadn't deliberately tried to hide it from Liu Lanyan, but he shouldn't have revealed any flaws either.
"It seems the Demon Lord is unaware of the matter concerning the Immortal Soul in the Celestial Realm." Liu Lanyan smiled at the Demon God. She had already told the Demon God that the Immortal Soul had gained consciousness, so why didn't the Demon Lord know?
If the Demon God truly cared so much about the Demon Realm, he would surely have informed the Demon Lord about such an important matter.
"Smart." Mo Yun smiled approvingly; his woman was the smartest.
He loosened his grip slightly and said to Liu Lanyan, "Lanyan, step back."
Liu Lanyan nodded without saying anything, and took a few steps back, giving the Demon God enough space to directly face the Three Realms.
It wasn't that she didn't want to fight alongside the Demon God, but rather that she knew the Demon God wanted her to face the problems of the Three Realms alone.
This hatred has been accumulating for far too long. A thousand years have not diminished it in the slightest; on the contrary, it has been constantly building up, like churning magma, ready to erupt at any moment.
Looking at this private space, Liu Lanyan sighed softly to herself.
If the demon king didn't intend to perish together with the demon god, why would he bother to prepare this separate space? Isn't it just to confine the important people of the three realms here, so that kings can fight each other to the death?
If Yu Lijing had even a tiny bit of interest in the Demon Lord a thousand years ago, this mistake would not have happened.
The greatest tragedy of Yu Lijing's life is that she gave her heart to the wrong person and missed out on her true love.
Liu Lanyan said nothing, but stood quietly behind the Demon God, watching his tall and straight back, standing proudly.
Who said he was mild-mannered?
His outward gentleness could not possibly conceal his indomitable spirit.
The Demon Lord glanced at the battered white wolf beside him and took two steps forward.
Those various demons were all trained and cultivated by him and the Demon God. To use them to fight the Demon God would be a sign of his madness.
Now that everything has been laid bare, it's up to him to take action personally.
The Venerable One and the Confucian Venerable One did not hesitate at all; they were definitely joining forces.
Both the Demon Emperor and the King of Luan were about to make a move.
As for the immortal soul and the King of Jing, who had been injected with an evil spirit, they had not yet fully recovered and could only wait on the sidelines.
Facing five opponents alone, Mo Yun didn't even blink, and there wasn't a trace of tension on his face.
In Mo Yun's eyes, the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm before him were as if they were nothing.
Is there anything else to say now?
Everything is already set in stone, so let's settle this with force.
"Isn't Your Majesty going to summon your Thirteen Dark Night Fiends?" Your Majesty knows how powerful the Thirteen Dark Night Fiends are.
"Them?" Mo Yun smiled, his voice still as gentle as spring, "We don't need to deal with you."
Disdain!
This is utterly intolerable contempt!
Chapter 154 The True Colors of a Venerable Lord
Since things have come to this point, there's no point in saying anything now.
The Venerable One was the first to act, his immortal power enveloping Mo Yun like clouds and mist. The Confucian Venerable One assisted him, helping the Venerable One to maximize the power of the immortal power.
The Demon Emperor and the King of Luan attacked Mo Yun simultaneously from the side, their attacks ruthless and vicious, clearly characteristic of the Demon Realm. They showed no mercy, eliminating their enemies with the fastest speed.
The Demon Lord's actions, though seemingly casual compared to the ruthlessness of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, appeared more relaxed. For him, everything was already arranged; the only remaining task was to exchange lives with the Demon God. He didn't seek to eliminate the Demon God quickly, only hoping to ultimately cause the Demon God's demise or severe injury.
In the realms of immortals, demons, and monsters, five individuals unleashed three different powers, weaving them into a net. Despite never having cooperated before, these five individuals were all highly skilled, their teamwork remarkably seamless.
Unless the demon god retreats, he has no way to dodge such an attack.
All five of them shared the same idea: no matter what, they had to drag Liu Lanyan into the battle. That way, the demon god would have something to worry about, making her easier to deal with.
Of course, both the Demon Emperor and the King of Luan understood that Liu Lanyan was not an easy opponent, but unfortunately, the current situation did not give them a chance to think too much, so they could only take it one step at a time.
Facing the oncoming waves of power, Mo Yun's smile remained unchanged. No one saw how he moved; all they saw was a white shadow flash before their eyes.
All their power suddenly vanished, and the group had no idea that their attacks had landed.
That attack just now, though seemingly ruthless, was actually a test by all five of them.
After the initial attack, no one made another move. They all stared in astonishment at the Demon God. The Demon God remained standing in his original position, as if he had never moved at all.
However, all five of them understood that if the demon god hadn't made a move, their attacks should have all landed on the demon god.
Now… they swallowed hard, fear surging into their hearts like a tidal wave. How had the demon god moved just now? None of them had seen it clearly.
Looking around, all I saw was the same shock and confusion; it seemed everyone was in the same predicament.
"It seems we underestimated the Lord's strength." The Venerable One sneered a few times, staring intently at the Demon God. If she had known he would have such strength back then, she should have personally taken action to kill him.
Thinking of this, the Venerable One glared at Yu Lijing with resentment, and seeing Yu Lijing's dazed look, he was filled with disdain.
She lost all her sense of self for a man, even driving herself insane. Does such a person deserve to be a demon lord? To be mentioned alongside such a demon lord is an insult to her.
Mo Yun ignored the Venerable One completely; he felt nothing anymore. There was no need to pretend; he could simply follow his heart. A thousand years of pent-up anger ignited within him, making his blood boil.
He thought his emotions had become peaceful over the passage of a thousand years, but little did he know that it was just a continuous accumulation of sedimentation.
It was precisely because of the passage of a thousand years that all the pent-up emotions were finally released in a fierce outburst. He had investigated these people thoroughly over the years.
Back then, it was Yu Lijing who took the initiative to approach the Venerable One and tell him about his affair with Lan Yan.
How could the Venerable One, who always considered himself superior to others, allow his junior sister to be with an ordinary human? It was inevitable that he would obstruct her. It was only then that he learned of Lan Yan's true identity.
He witnessed Lan Yan's desperate pleas to the Venerable One, and her resolute determination to leave with him despite the risk of her life. Ultimately, Lan Yan's strength was no match for the Venerable One's, and she was forcibly detained.
He, on the other hand, was relentlessly pursued and tortured. At that time, he was still grateful for his good fortune; although he escaped in a sorry state, he always managed to escape with his life hanging by a thread.
Even if he is caught and tortured again, he can still find ways to escape.
Looking back now, he was so naive and ridiculous. How could he, an ordinary human with no power, possibly be a match for the pursuers from the celestial realm?
Those repeated escapes were nothing more than a cat-and-mouse game played by the immortals. Those so-called escapes were merely a collaboration between Yu Lijin and the Venerable One, a partnership where each got what they wanted. That's why, in that crucial moment, in his despair, there was hope—Yu Lijin.
Yu Lijing's appearance gave him hope for life. He even foolishly thought that he could ask Yu Lijing for help to rescue Lan Yan.
