Chapter 1048 Fighting the Demon Emperor

”Welcome 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 Emperorʼs eyebrows slightly twitched upon hearing Yuanʼs words, but other than that, it really didnʼt have any reaction.

”Iʼm just joking. You can call me Yuan, Demon Emperor.”

”Youʼre 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 become enraged at the slightest provocation, you guys arenʼt like that, and itʼs 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 just compare me… to humans? You think I am like a human? Me? A Demon Emperor? Know your place!”

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

”...”

A nervous smile appeared on Yuanʼs face when the Demon Emperorʼs chilling aura permeated the entire area there. Even with his prowess and talents, he still couldnʼt help but tremble before it. Although he didnʼt think that he was going to lose to this Demon Emperor, he knew that it wasnʼt going to be an easy task, especially considering that heʼd 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 to land, blocking it.

However, since he was controlling the Starry Abyss with a technique, it wasnʼt as powerful as the sword in his hand.

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

”Not bad…” Yuan smiled.

”Ha!” The Demon Emperor didnʼt 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 didnʼt show much reaction to it besides having an annoyed look on its face.

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

Yuan narrowed his eyes on the Demon Emperor.

ʼThatʼs a bluff. The Swords of Eternal Torment definitely works on even Demon Emperors. Itʼs just that my demon sealing aura isnʼt strong enough to affect it…ʼ

[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 wasnʼt by too much, and it wasnʼt nearly enough to make it panic.

”Another annoying technique. Hey! I thought only the Divine Paragon could use these techniques! How come 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.

ʼI wonʼt be able to defeat it at this rate. I didnʼt want to use this because itʼs very risky and energy consuming, but if I want to defeat this Demon Emperor, I am going to have to use it…ʼ He thought to himself.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan suddenly retrieved his Empyrean Overlord and Starry Abyss, becoming 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 Emperor laughed when it saw what he was doing, ”What nonsense do you think youʼre doing?! This wonʼt 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 Emperorʼs 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 kept coming out of the ground and replacing the ones it broke.

ʼNow that I have bought myself some time…ʼ

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

An unfathomable aura suddenly began emitting from Yuanʼs 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 moments later, right as the Demon Emperor broke out of the last chain, Yuan opened his eyes and shouted, ”Demon Sealing Pagoda!”

The Demon Emperorʼs 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.
