Hula Guxiong, the Emperor of the Flying Cloud Empire, was a Greater Earth Demonic Bear. In his human form, he was impressively tall and robust.
Menlinka, the Emperor of the Star Sea Empire, was a Blood Shadow Demonic Wolf. In his human form, his eyes were fierce, and his aura was extremely sinister.
In comparison, the Empress of the Demonic Moon Empire, in her human form, had a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. She was exceptionally beautiful, with a touch of wickedness at her eye's edge, appearing both stunning and seductive. Even the world-renowned beauties, the Hundred Spirits Bird Ling Mumu and the Nine-Tailed Fox Mo Qingqiu, could not overshadow her radiance.
Mo Qianqian.
This was the name of the Demonic Moon Empress. Her true form was a Nine-Heart Begonia flower, a type of flower demon. However, she was not a pure flower demon. Her father, the previous ruler of the Demonic Moon Empire, was a Moon Demon, a special kind of demon that grew by absorbing lunar essence.
She was the descendant of a Moon Demon and a Nine-Heart Begonia flower demon. The characteristics of her Nine-Heart Begonia flower demon heritage were quite pronounced. Naturally, she also possessed some innate abilities of a Moon Demon.
Mo Qianqian's strength was formidable. Among the four empires, her power was surpassed only by Mo Qingqiu and Wei La Wu Bing.
At this moment, the three of them converged before a canyon. Facing them was the Seventh Princess, Wei La Duoduo, flanked by Yang Feilong and Mo Qingqiu. Also present were the three surviving experts of the Golden Purple Demonic Dragon clan at the Integration stage, including the eldest prince, Wei La Duomo.
Wei La Duomo was Wei La Duoduo's direct competitor. However, as Wei La Duoduo's formidable power swept across the empire, crushing all enemies, the eldest prince Wei La Duomo submitted, acknowledging his sister Wei La Duoduo as his superior.
Furthermore, he was genuinely convinced. Not only was his sister Wei La Duoduo's strength far superior to his, but she could also enlist the aid of top experts like Yang Feilong and Mo Qingqiu. This indirectly demonstrated her talent and capabilities.
The Golden Purple Demonic Dragon clan believed in strength above all else, so he naturally had no reason to challenge his sister further.
Even other top powerhouses of the Golden Purple Demonic Dragon clan were completely convinced.
While empresses were not common, they did exist. Setting aside other empires, the neighboring Demonic Moon Empire was currently ruled by an empress. She had surpassed her many siblings to become empress. In the centuries since she ascended to the throne, the Demonic Moon Empire, under Mo Qianqian's governance, had produced far more powerful experts than the Flying Cloud Empire and the Star Sea Empire.
Previously, the three great empires had implicitly acknowledged Mo Qianqian as their leader.
"Wei La Duoduo, tsk tsk, I never imagined the young girl from back then would grow into such a prominent figure!" Mo Qianqian's voice, from the other side of the valley, was filled with a cold clarity and a hint of emotion. "And you've recruited so many top experts to your service. Our defeat is not unjust!"
Honestly, she had not expected the Wei La Empire to make a comeback.
When did it begin?
Thinking back, it was when the three great empires tried to win over Mo Qingqiu several months ago.
From that point onward, her Demonic Moon Empire, along with the Star Sea and Flying Cloud Empires, completely fell out and became sworn enemies, engaging in a fierce conflict. During this time, the Wei La Empire, led by Wei La Duoduo, began to rapidly consolidate its forces and reclaim lost territories. When they finally ceased their hostilities, they were horrified to find that the situation had collapsed and could no longer be reversed.
The meeting in the canyon was because the three great empires wished to negotiate peace with the Wei La Empire.
If negotiations failed, then the battlefield would be their only recourse.
"Mo Qianqian, Hula Guxiong, Menlinka, you ambushed and killed my father, then led your armies to invade my Wei La Empire. Today marks your end!" Wei La Duoduo's voice was ice-cold. Although her relationship with her father was not particularly close, Wei La Wu Bing was still her father, and this vengeance had to be exacted.
"Do you really think the three of us killed your father?" Mo Qianqian's lips curled into a knowing smile.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Wei La Duoduo's brow furrowed.
"Although our combined strength is greater than your father's, you should know how difficult it would be to kill him. Would we have been able to retreat unharmed?" Mo Qianqian scoffed.
No one knew the specifics of the three powers ambushing Wei La Wu Bing. However, the proclaimed reason from the three great empires was that their respective emperors, along with some experts, had set an ambush and assassinated Wei La Wu Bing. While Wei La Wu Bing's combat power might not have been terrifyingly immense, as he hadn't defeated Mo Qingqiu, Mo Qingqiu also hadn't defeated Wei La Wu Bing; it was a stalemate. However, the Golden Purple Demonic Dragon clan possessed extremely strong defenses, and while their speed wasn't comparable to the Azure Phoenix clan, it was still top-tier. With top speed and defense, even if he was ambushed, wouldn't he have been able to escape if he wished?
Even if he couldn't escape, if he fought with all his might, wouldn't he have been able to kill one or two opponents? At the very least, even if he couldn't kill his opponents, he could have severely injured one or two, right?
But that did not happen.
At the time, they were puzzled but didn't delve too deeply, as there was no time for such scrutiny. Coupled with the declaration from the emperors of the three great empires, many people accepted this as fact.
However, hearing Mo Qianqian's words now, they suddenly realized there were many loopholes in the story.
"Your father was too arrogant and overbearing, offending far too many people. Many wished for his death, and we merely acted as pawns! Of course, we were willing to be pawns, as the benefits were substantial, weren't they? Unfortunately, because of this human, our plan was foiled!" Mo Qianqian said, her eyes filled with resentment as she glanced at Yang Feilong.
The reason their three nations' plan had failed was entirely due to this seemingly unremarkable human!
In the past few months, Yang Feilong had killed more powerful individuals than Mo Qingqiu!
In fact, they feared Yang Feilong far more than they feared Mo Qingqiu.
"Even if it wasn't you, so many of our Wei La Empire's citizens died because of you. Therefore, your three great empires will not escape!" Wei La Duoduo said solemnly.
"Who can't speak big words? Then bring it on!" The Demonic Moon Empress Mo Qianqian said fearlessly.
"I'll be the vanguard!" Mo Qingqiu said. She felt her heavenly tribulation was only two or three days away at the latest and wanted to warm up before facing it.
"Agreed!" Wei La Duoduo and Yang Feilong nodded.
Da da da!
Wei La Duoduo walked towards the allied forces of the three empires, step by step, the void trembling.
Yang Feilong stood not far behind Wei La Duoduo, ready to intervene if she encountered any danger.
Just behind them, the void split open, and a figure wreathed in flames appeared out of nowhere in front of Wei La Duoduo.
As the flames dissipated, a handsome man came into view.
