Chapter 2479 Yan Haraʼs Prowess(2)

”Yan Hara… sheʼs become so powerful that I donʼt even recognize her anymore…”

The Demon Sealers familiar and close with Yan Hara were stunned speechless by her overwhelming prowess, feeling like they were witnessing the birth of a new legend.

Meanwhile, the public spectators and Qian Chuʼs supporters were left in awe by the Divine Paragonʼs techniques.

”So those are the techniques that made the Divine Paragon into the legend that he is, huh?”

”Of course not! The Divine Paragon would still be legendary even if he didnʼt have any techniques! It was his obsession with slaying demons and his fearless demeanor that truly made him so awesome!”

”Hmph.” Someone sneered in disdain before saying, ”I think the stories of Divine Paragon were exaggerated and blown way out of proportion. How can a single mortal create Demon Sealing Aura and single-handedly defeat the demons? It makes no sense!”

When the Demon Sealers heard his words that were no different than blasphemy in their ears, they cursed at him, including Qian Chuʼs supporters, which didnʼt surprise Yan Haraʼs supporters in the slightest.

After all, regardless who they supported right now, none of them would be there if it werenʼt for the Divine Paragon.

Inside the Valley of Demons, Yan Hara continued her domineering display of Divine Paragonʼs techniques and her fearsome Demon Sealing Aura by sealing every demon with ease, quickly catching up to Qian Chuʼs points, and by the fifth day, sheʼd surpassed him again.

However, she would not encounter another demon again until the end of the fifth day. Yet, at the pace she was sealing demons, her points were still in a safe position.

As the sun began to rise on the sixth day, Yan Hara sensed a powerful presence quickly approaching her direction.

”What a powerful presence!” Yan Hara muttered in surprise.

There was no doubt that this presence belonged to the one and only Demon Emperor in the Demon Slaying Parade.

However, Yan Hara wasnʼt sure what to think of its appearance.

”Did Qian Chu send the Demon Emperor to me because he thinks it would be able to stop me?” she wondered out loud.

”And this presence… why does it feel familiar?”

Soon, the Demon Emperor arrived before her.

”…”

Yan Hara did not immediately attack and silently observed it with narrowed eyes.

The Demon Emperor did the same, almost as if it were waiting for Yan Hara to act first.

Even without exchanging blows or words, Yan Hara could sense that something about the demon before her was different… unsettlingly so.

Artificial demons, while realistic and capable of radiating intense malice and bloodlust, always felt hollow in some indescribable way. Yet the demon standing before her felt disturbingly alive, as though it were a genuine demon.

ʼA real Demon Emperor…? No, thereʼs no way…ʼ

Even though Yan Hara believed Qian Chu would stoop to any low to preserve his position, she never imagined he would be capable of commanding a real Demon Emperor, much less smuggling one into the Demon Slaying Parade with so many spectators.

It was almost as if he no longer cared about keeping his image.

”So you are the Divine Paragonʼs successor, huh? Where is the Divine Paragon right now?” The Demon Emperor suddenly spoke to Yan Hara through voice transmission, startling her.

”W-What are you talking about?” Yan Hara subconsciously responded.

”Thereʼs no need to play dumb. I know that the Divine Paragon is still alive,” said the Demon Emperor, dumbfounding Yan Hara even more.

”You are…” Yan Hara snapped out of her daze and finally realized why the demonʼs presence felt so familiar.

”You are the Demon Emperor I fought during the Supreme Demon Sealerʼs Qualification!” Yan Hara exclaimed in disbelief.

”Oh? You recognize me even though I have changed my appearance? Not bad…” Demon Emperor Carnage remarked with a calm smile.

Soon, the Demon Emperor arrived before her.

”Why are you—” Yan Hara wanted to ask what he was doing there but cut herself off when she realised that she already knew the answer to that question.

”So even a Demon Emperor like you is working for Qian Chu, huh? Makes me even more curious about his true identity!”

”Working for Qian Chu?” Demon Emperor Carnage burst out laughing. ”I am a Demon Emperor! I have no need to work for anyone, nor have I ever worked for Qian Chu!” ”Then what are you doing here?” Yan Hara frowned.

”I wanted to meet the Divine Paragonʼs successor and… devour them!” Demon Emperor Carnage said with a cold smile. ”Devour me…?” Yan Hara echoed, a similar smile tugging at her lips. ”Ever since that disastrous incident, Iʼve wanted to fight you again and erase that humiliation. To think I would get the chance so soon!”

”You may be the Divine Paragonʼs successor, but you are far from being my match!” Demon Emperor Carnage launched the first strike.

”Rain of Carnage!” ”Demon Sealing Zone!”

As Yan Hara and Demon Emperor Carnage began their clash, Qian Chu stopped his hunt and turned to look in their direction.

”So it has started…” he mumbled before returning to his hunt.

Meanwhile, the spectators stirred with renewed excitement, the arena buzzing with hype.

”Looks like Yan Hara has encountered the Demon Emperor! Letʼs see whether she can deal with it like she did with the others!”

”Once she defeats the Demon Emperor, her victory will be secured, even if Qian Chu seals the remaining demons!”

Shortly later, the Demon Sealers from the Seventh Heaven returned to the venue. ”Huh? Why are you guys back already? What happened to the Demonic Realm?” The other Demon Sealers questioned them with puzzled faces.

”Uhh…” The Seventh Heavenʼs Demon Sealers hesitated for a moment before responding, ”The Demonic Realm is secure, so we returned.”

”What? How is that possible? Unless you managed to fix the seals, thereʼs no way itʼs secure! Tell us what really happened!”

”Wait… what happened to the rest of you? And who is that guy with the mask?”

They finally noticed Yuan, who was following them while wearing a mask that concealed his face.
