Inside the Gate of Immortality, Zhang Yue was being pincer-attacked from front and back by the Demon Emperor Yu and the God of Malevolence, Motan.
But at this moment he was not panicking at all.
In fact, he was a little excited.
Demon Emperor Yu, through his fully enclosed metal helmet, fixed Zhang Yue with a sharp gaze and said, "Will you hand it over yourself, or shall I take it?"
Zhang Yue looked at the Demon Emperor and said lightly, "Of course you'll take it yourself, provided you have the ability."
As he spoke, the 47-Star Transcendent Staff in Zhang Yue's hand manifested, already prepared for battle.
"You know the truth," the Demon Emperor said in a low voice, "You are no match for me, that was proven the last time we fought."
Zhang Yue nodded and replied, "You said that last time."
"And this time is this time."
The Demon Emperor tightened his grip on his longsword; a glint of killing intent showed in his eyes, "It seems you won't see the coffin before you cry."
"Don't even think about taking the Resurrection God Stone out of the Gate of Immortality."
Suddenly Zhang Yue asked with some curiosity, "Of course I know you collect Resurrection God Stones to revive emperor-level bosses to fight for you, but why don't you directly resurrect a level-500 emperor boss? Why only resurrect ten emperor bosses that are just over level 200?"
Before the Demon Emperor could answer, Zhang Yue continued, musing aloud, "Do I guess correctly that it's because, with your power, you're afraid you can't control them?"
Zhang Yue's words left the Demon Emperor momentarily speechless.
Clearly Zhang Yue had guessed right.
The Demon Emperor's purpose in reviving the Ten Ferocious Beasts was to use them to deal with Zhang Yue.
Because the Demon Emperor himself was still one step shy of quasi-emperor rank, he had been unable to complete that final breakthrough.
That meant his strength had been limited and he couldn't reach the pinnacle of the Otherworld.
But what the Demon Emperor knew was: given some time, he would be able to complete that final breakthrough and reach quasi-emperor strength.
Or rather, restore himself to quasi-emperor.
Because the Demon Emperor is inherently emperor-rank, only weakened and reduced to king-rank, and now he's climbing back to the imperial throne step by step.
His current full strength is level 490, surpassing king-rank.
In that state he could barely compare with a human level-500 Tier-9 Myth-tier professional, so he didn't dare to act rashly and had been operating in secret.
Once the Demon Emperor recovers to level-500 quasi-emperor standard, with his strength he would surely become the pinnacle of the Otherworld and sweep across the entire Otherworld, unbeatable.
Even the three existing human Tier-9 Myth-tier professionals in this world would be insignificant to him.
But what the Demon Emperor feared was: by the time that happened, the human who would threaten him the most might already have grown strong.
And that person was Zhang Yue.
Though myth-tier, Zhang Yue's strength had long exceeded that level.
Because myth-tier is the ceiling for professionals in the Otherworld, but it's far from Zhang Yue's ceiling.
So if the Demon Emperor and Zhang Yue both grew at the same time, the Demon Emperor would be crushed by Zhang Yue and could never become ruler of the Otherworld.
Therefore, he had to find a way to eliminate Zhang Yue before Zhang Yue could grow.
That's why, as Zhang Yue said, the Demon Emperor didn't dare to resurrect higher-level emperor bosses.
He feared that those higher-level emperor bosses would suppress him; he wouldn't be able to control them and would instead be controlled by them.
Then he wouldn't be reviving sons, he'd be reviving a father.
"You're overthinking," Even though Zhang Yue had seen through his thoughts, the Demon Emperor stubbornly refused to admit it to preserve face, "There's no need to mobilize so much just to deal with a mere Tier 6 professional like you."
"Is that so?", Zhang Yue smiled faintly and said, "But judging by the ten emperor bosses you resurrected, it seems they can't kill me either."
"So even if you get more Resurrection God Stones, it's useless."
At this point Zhang Yue noticed the Demon Emperor unconsciously clinching his fist. Clearly Zhang Yue's words had struck a sore spot.
"Shut up!", The Demon Emperor pointed his sword at Zhang Yue, "You should have slept in the ground a hundred years ago, it was my momentary carelessness that let you live another hundred years!"
"But living until today is enough!"
Zhang Yue, unhurried, said to the Demon Emperor, "Then why don't we chat a bit more?"
"Where did you come from? Where did the ten emperor bosses you resurrected come from?"
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly and said, "Defeat me first, then we'll talk!"
No sooner had the words fallen than the Demon Emperor gripped his longsword and suddenly charged at Zhang Yue.
Facing a powerful enemy whose foot was already half into emperor-level strength, Zhang Yue did not underestimate him.
He put out one hundred percent of his power to match him.
SSSSS-rank Forbidden Curse Skill, Secret Art: Thunder Summoning!
WHOOSH!
Super-Myth-tier relic, Angel Wings!
Super-Myth-tier relic, Fatal Lock!
Whoosh!
Shush! Shush! Shush!
Zhang Yue unleashed all his firepower.
He spread Angel Wings, leaped up into the air, and avoided the Demon Emperor's melee charge.
The next second, seven Fatal Lock surrounding Zhang Yue's body began automatically pursuing the Demon Emperor.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Demon Emperor swung his sword to block while releasing sword light to attack Zhang Yue from a distance.
Zhang Yue used Angel Wings to form a feathered shield, perfectly blocking all of the Demon Emperor's frontal attacks.
Sanctuary: Scorched Thunder and Fire!
Annihilation: Thunder with Unmeasurable Force!
Thunder: Swallowing Heaven and Destroying Earth!
Thunder: Dance of Lightning!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One after another, 5S top-tier lightning skills poured down on the Demon Emperor like rain.
The Demon Emperor released his sword-shield to defend.
But under the effect of the Forbidden Curse Skill Secret Art: Thunder Summoning, Zhang Yue's lightning skills had no cooldown and no cost.
Skill after skill struck in a straight line, directly hitting the Demon Emperor.
The sword-shield was quickly broken, and the Demon Emperor himself was pushed back several steps.
He looked up at Zhang Yue with slightly surprised eyes; inwardly he was astonished.
'This fellow, in a few days I haven't seen him, his strength has increased so dramatically.'
'It seems that if I don't kill him before he fully matures, he will surely become my greatest headache!'
Realizing this, the Demon Emperor unleashed all his battle intent without reservation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless golden phantom swords materialized from all directions, moving with the Demon Emperor's will and shooting straight at Zhang Yue!
At the same time, the God of Malevolence, Motan, behind Zhang Yue also locked onto Zhang Yue and launched attacks.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
From nine blood-filled maws, death rays were simultaneously emitted, blasting toward Zhang Yue.
