Chapter 1048 Fighting the Demon Emperor


    "Wee to the seventh floor. You have 4 hours to defeat the demon."


    Shortly after Yuan arrived on the seventh floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, the Demon Emperor, still with its eyes closed, spoke in a calm voice, "What is your name, human?"


    "Tian Chenyu." Yuan said with a smile on his face to see how the Demon Emperor would react.


    "..."


    The Demon Emperor''s eyebrows slightly twitched upon hearing Yuan''s words, but other than that, it really didn''t have any reaction.


    "I''m just joking. You can call me Yuan, Demon Emperor."


    "You''re a peculiar human, Yuan. Not only are you able to stand there and talk with me without pissing your pants but you can even make jokes. I guess you made it this far for a reason."


    "Oh? A demon is actually praising a human? As expected, Demon Emperors are different. Compared to the mentally weak demons that will be enraged at the slightest provocation, you guys aren''t like that, and it''s almost like I am speaking to another human…" Yuan said with a profound smile on his face.


    "...What did you just say?" The Demon Emperor mumbled in a dazed voice, its aura suddenly shooting into the cloudless sky.


    "Oh? Did I hit a nerve?" Yuan chucked.


    "Did you justpare me… to humans? You think I am like a human? Me? A Demon Emperor? Know your ce!"


    The Demon Emperor suddenly opened its eyes, revealing violet eyes that emanated intense killing intent.


    "..."


    A nervous smile appeared on Yuan''s face when the Demon Emperor''s chilling aura permeated the entire area there. Even with his prowess and talents, he still couldn''t help but tremble before it. Although he didn''t think that he was going to lose to this Demon Emperor, he knew that it wasn''t going to be an easy task, especially considering that he''d just angered the Demon Emperor.


    The Demon Emperor began approaching Yuan in slow and steady steps, looking extremely menacing.


    Yuan tightly held onto his Empyrean Overlord and prepared to fight the Demon Emperor.


    "Remember the name of the demon who will kill you, my name— Demon Emperor Wraith!"


    Demon Emperor Wraith roared right before it summoned a bloody axe in both hands and rushed at Yuan.


    Ding!


    Yuan blocked one of its axes with the Empyrean Overlord, but the Demon Emperor had a second one, and it used it to attack him almost instantly afterward.


    Ding!


    The Starry Abyss appeared right in front of the location that the axe was going tond, blocking it.


    However, since he was controlling the Starry Abyss with a technique, it wasn''t as powerful as the sword in his hand.


    Yuan quickly used his movement technique to dodge the Demon Emperor''s second axe right before it bypassed the Starry Abyss'' defense and gained some distance between them.


    "Not bad…" Yuan smiled.


    "Ha!" The Demon Emperor didn''t give Yuan any time to rest and immediately chased after him.


    The two of them would go back and forth for the next five minutes blocking and attacking each other.


    [Swords of Eternal Torment]


    A minute into their fight, Yuan summoned the golden swords.


    The golden swords struck the Demon Emperor because it had appeared so suddenly. However, the Demon Emperor didn''t show much reaction to it besides having an annoyed look on its face.


    "So you know this pesky technique as well, huh? Although it''s extremely effective against lower ranking demons, it''s ineffective against Demon Emperors such as us!"


    Yuan narrowed his eyes on the Demon Emperor.


    ''That''s a bluff. The Swords of Eternal Torment definitely works on even Demon Emperors. It''s just that my demon sealing aura isn''t strong enough to affect it…''


    [Demon Sealing Zone]


    He proceeded to create a massive zone that covered almost 100 meters in radius around him and the Demon Emperor.


    The Demon Emperor could feel its strength decreasing, but it wasn''t by too much, and it wasn''t nearly enough to make it panic.


    "Another annoying technique. Hey! I thought only the Divine Paragon could use these techniques! Howe you can use them as well?" The Demon Emperor suddenly asked Yuan.


    "I already told you. I am Tian Chenyu." Yuan said with a smile.


    ''I won''t be able to defeat it at this rate. I didn''t want to use this because it''s very risky and energy consuming, but if I want to defeat this Demon Emperor, I am going to have to use it…'' He thought to himself.


    After taking a deep breath, Yuan suddenly retrieved his Empyrean Overlord and Starry Abyss, bing barehanded. His actions greatly puzzled the Demon Emperor and piqued its interest at the same time.


    "What are you doing? Are you giving up already?" The Demon Emperor asked him.


    "Give up? Before a demon? Over my dead body." Yuan smiled in response.


    He then made some gestures with his hands before shouting out loud, "Close!"


    The Demon Sealing Zone suddenly closed in on the Demon Emperor until it was basically trying to squeeze it to death.


    The Demon Emperorughed when it saw what he was doing, "What nonsense do you think you''re doing?! This won''t have any effect on me!"


    However, before the demon could try to break out of the Demon Sealing Zone, Yuan made a few more hand gestures before shouting again, "Restrict!"


    Golden chains suddenly came out of the ground and coiled itself all around the Demon Emperor''s body, restricting its movements.


    "How dare you underestimate me with this shit!" The Demon Emperor quickly started struggling, but it was having a little trouble breaking out of the chains, as it kepting out of the ground and recing the ones it broke.


    ''Now that I have bought myself some time…''


    Yuan immediately sat on the floor and began cultivating with his eyes closed.


    An unfathomable aura suddenly began emitting from Yuan''s body, quickly permeating the area.


    The Demon Emperor had an uneasy feeling in its guts after seeing Yuan and his aura, and it became desperate.


    A few more momentster, right as the Demon Emperor broke out of thest chain, Yuan opened his eyes and shouted, "Demon Sealing Pagoda!"


    The Demon Emperor''s eyes widened with shock as it looked up to see that a massive golden pagoda had appeared above it.


    "W-Wait!"


    The Demon Emperor pleaded.


    However, Yuan ignored the demon and gestured for the pagoda to fall.


    The golden pagoda fell the following moment, crushing the Demon Emperor into the ground.
