Chapter 107: The Human Race Is Too Ashamed To Face Its Ruler!!

This huge, unstoppable demon army that rushed like a flood.

Because of one thing that man said, they had all gone silent.

None of the demons dared to take one step further, and none of them dared to say anything rude.

Even though many of them were Half-Saints, Saint Kings and Supremes, their faces were red with rage but they just stared at him.

That man and that bell were a moat in front of them. Nobody dared to take even half a step forward.

There was only one reason.

The demon race was really too afraid of this man.

This man had washed Tangshan in blood, making blood flow like a river. Supremes and Quasi-Emperors had rained down that day. So what if you were the Golden Crow Great Emperor? This man still slayed him anyway.

So what if you were the ancient emperor of the demon race? He got killed in a second by this same man.

That invincible, domineering stance found nowhere else.

Even though he did not display any might, the demons still did not dare to breathe.

After a long period of silence.

Suddenly, a demon cultivator said, “He’s been severely injured and he’s lost his Quasi-Emperor dao fruit. Let’s join hands to kill him!”

The one who spoke was a Supreme. He clearly held high status among the demons.

But even though many demons were itching to attack, none of them dared to take a step forward.

Nobody dared to offend him unless he was dead, even though he had lost all his cultivation already.

“What are all of you waiting for!”

The Supreme bellowed fiercely.

The rest started responding and chiming in, “Let’s kill him! Let’s kill him together!”

“Have the rest of you forgotten how he made you lose your loved ones? This man is a great enemy of the demon race! If you don’t kill him, how can you be called part of the demon race?!”

Such inspiring words finally made this vast demon army gain faith in themselves again.

“Kill him!”

A shout came from somewhere among them and the countless demons came rushing toward him like uncontrollable water flooding the banks.

Gu Changqing had no expression on his face.

He brought out the Heaven Burying Bell to suppress the countless demons.

But he had lost his Quasi-Emperor dao fruit, so he was unable to fully keep the million demons outside the border.

A small number of demons managed to break free but did not dare to fight him, and just rushed into the Nine States instead.

Gu Changqing remained expressionless.

What he wanted to do here was to block just the most powerful of the demon army.

There were cultivators among the humans, so ordinary demons were not too much of a threat to them.

But if a Supreme or even a Saint King managed to get in, then they might really wipe the humans out.

He singlehandedly blocked the million-strong demon army, making sure that Half-Saints, Saint Kings and Supremes did not set a single foot inside the Nine States.

Right now, Gu Changqing was like a rakshasa that had descended, a murder machine on earth.

The long river of human dao spewed forth from his body, entwining with the vast dao laws. The huge and heavy waves of dao laws rose and engulfed the demon army, causing the entire place to shake.

In the universe, countless ancient stars fell.

In that moment, the outside of the Nine States was flowing with blood, as though they were in hell. The sounds of demons howling and groaning were everywhere.

Gu Changing flew into the void, killing 76 Half-Saints, 32 Saint Kings and 11 Supremes one after another.

But he had lost his Quasi-Emperor dao fruit, so his strength was not as endless as it used to be.

The consecutive killings made his breathing weaker and weaker.

…

Outside the mirror.

The cultivators stared at the man who was like a killing machine and they couldn’t help but feel something.

“The Heavenly Emperor has never sustained injuries from a fight. There’s nobody who can really exchange blows with him in this world.”

“But surprisingly, despite being so severely injured, he’s faced with an entire army of demons!”

Everyone felt a sense of tragedy inside, like they were about to watch a hero fall.

A long time later.

The killing finally came to an end.

Many demons had been vanquished. They had been annihilated by this man’s terrifying power.

Then, the people outside the mirror saw a scene they would never forget.

Just outside the Nine States, a man stood tall and proud, his white clothing dyed red with blood. He stepped on an ancient bell that was covered in demon blood and in tatters, its divine glow waning.

The man stood atop that seemingly endless mountain of corpses. There was no sign of life around him at all.

It was as if everything had died!!

“Phew.”

After a long time, the man took a deep breath and exhaled, as though he had suddenly woken up after going to hell and back.

He picked up the ancient bell and hurried toward the Nine States.

Some of the demons had made it inside.

Every step he took was covered in blood. He left a long, bloodied trail behind him.

However.

What he met with was not the remnant of the demons.

It was countless humans instead.

Along the border, countless humans had gathered to form a solid wall to keep the man outside the Nine States.

In the sky, countless human cultivators had created a formation, their long swords all pointing at the man!

“Get out!”

“You’re not fit to be our ruler!”

“Our human race met with a terrible crisis, countless people have been hurt and killed, countless people have cried for help. Why didn’t you come!!”

“We heard others say that you massacred humans and we once thought they were merely rumors. But it turns out to be true!”

“Gu Changqing, you don’t deserve to be our ruler, and you definitely don’t deserve to be a member of the human race!”

“Get lost! The mortal world of the Nine States does not welcome you!!”

Countless humans were roaring angrily at him, their rage threatening to swallow the man on the brink of collapse whole.

Gu Changqing stopped in his footsteps.

A million demons had failed to make him stop, but he stopped when faced with a group of supposedly weak and fragile humans.

He remained silent.

A moment later, a bitter smile spread across his face as he slowly turned to leave.

The rays of the evening setting sun were as red as blood.

It dyed the man the same color. That vast, ancient land was left with just one figure.

It embodied loneliness, tragedy, sorrow…

…

Outside the mirror.

The cultivators were speechless.

“This is the great demon that you humans insulted and cursed for millennia! This is the person that you humans wanted to kill for centuries to come!”

The voice of a cultivator rang out.

This voice was filled with deep rage that came from deep within, like an old beast in a desperate situation.

All the cultivators felt their hearts burn with rage that threatened to spill over anytime.

“Our human Emperor…”

The two human cultivators felt tears roll down their cheeks as their bodies faltered and they fell to their knees.

“The human race has let our ruler down!”

“The human race does not deserve such a great favor!!”

“The human race is too ashamed to face him!!!”

In that moment, an ear deafening roar resounded outside the Heavenly Palace.

When they looked out.

Countless human cultivators were kneeling on the ground, looking to the sky as they cried out loudly. Their voices were filled with nothing but regret and shame.

The lonely figure on the outside of the Nine States had triggered a sense of grief within all humans.

Inside the Heavenly Palace.

The one dressed entirely in white stood proudly in the skies.

She had a sad smile on her face, tears welling up in her brilliantly sparkling eyes.

“The human race has let him down, but I have let him down even more.”
