Chapter 326: Momentum
“Esteemed ones, our clan leader and Elder Di have gone out. We are not sure where they went, and
they haven’t returned yet,” a cautious elder of the Shura Clan, at the Heavenly Emperor realm,
explained seriously to the three figures before him.
“I’ve already sent a message to them. I humbly ask for your patience.”
“Very well, we’ll wait,” said the Rakshasa Emperor.
The Ghost King Emperor and the Underworld King Emperor both nodded in agreement, expressing no
objections.
Not long after, the Heavenly Demon Emperor, Mo Yunxuan, arrived.
“Where is the Shura Emperor? Why is it just you here?” Mo Yunxuan asked, echoing the earlier
inquiries.
“He went out with Shura Di. We don’t know where they went. We’ve been waiting for him here as well,”
the Ghost King Emperor explained.
“The armies are already nearly assembled, ready to march into Xuanzhou. At such a critical moment,
what could be so urgent for him to leave?” The Heavenly Demon Emperor frowned, sensing something
amiss.
This behavior was uncharacteristic of the Shura Emperor.
“Who knows,” the Ghost King Emperor replied helplessly.
Suddenly, a deafening rumble echoed through the sky.
The clouds parted abruptly, and in the midst of the dark night, the pristine brilliance of the Twin
Dragon Palace descended, gleaming like a sea of stars.
In perfect formation, Zhuge Kongming and the Heavenly Poison King led their three elite guards to
safeguard the four corners of the palace.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor and his companions lifted their gazes, their brows furrowing at the
sight.
The Twin Dragon Palace halted directly above the Xuanyuan Clan’s plaza, floating majestically in the
sky. Jiang HuanYu emerged slowly from within.
With a flash of movement, the four most powerful figures of the Demon Realm—the Heavenly Demon
Emperor, the Rakshasa Emperor, the Underworld King Emperor, and the Ghost King Emperor—
appeared before Jiang HuanYu.
Both the Underworld King and the Ghost King immediately noticed something unsettling: Zhuge
Kongming and the Heavenly Poison King exuded an aura that rivaled their own.
These two were also at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Emperor realm.
What’s more, their presence was terrifyingly formidable, fully on par with their own strength.
Who were these people?
And why were they here?
“Who are you?” the Rakshasa Emperor demanded, his sharp gaze fixed on the group.
“The Jiang Empire,” Jiang HuanYu replied indi erently, his expression cold and composed.
“The Jiang Empire!!”
The revelation left the Demon Realm leaders both astonished and intrigued.
The Jiang Empire still existed? And now they were here?
“So, you are the ruler of the Jiang Empire, Jiang HuanYu?” the Underworld King Emperor asked
directly.
“Impudent!”
“A mere clan leader of the Underworld dares to address the Emperor of the Jiang Empire by name?
Kneel!” The Heavenly Poison King’s cold gaze bore into him as he issued a stern rebuke.
The Underworld King Emperor’s face darkened immediately.
“Heh… such arrogance!”
“Do you not understand the current situation?”
“This is the Demon Realm’s Emperor State. You’ve intruded on our territory, yet you dare to act so
boldly instead of worrying about your survival? I truly wonder who gave you the courage to strut in
front of us!” the Underworld King Emperor sneered disdainfully.
The Demon Realm had taken Emperor State.
To be threatened on their own turf—what a joke.
Jiang HuanYu remained silent, merely glancing at the Underworld King Emperor.
The next moment—
“Argh!!”
Thud!
A terrifying, unseen force descended upon the Underworld King Emperor, driving him to his knees in
midair.
The power was immense, unlike anything he had ever experienced. It crushed his dignity, leaving him
unable to lift his head.
“What?!”
The Rakshasa Emperor and the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s expressions shifted drastically.
The Underworld King Emperor had been rendered completely powerless before Jiang HuanYu.
Even more shocking, Jiang HuanYu had subdued him with nothing but a wisp of his aura.
If this was the result of a mere fraction of his strength, how formidable would Jiang HuanYu be at full
power?
The Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Rakshasa Emperor both grew increasingly wary.
Although they were at the Emperor Sovereign level, they could not sense the depth of Jiang HuanYu’s
cultivation.
This only meant one thing: Jiang HuanYu’s strength exceeded theirs by a significant margin.
“Before you act, consider carefully,” Jiang HuanYu said calmly, his eyes shifting to the Heavenly
Demon Emperor and the others.
“What do you mean?” the Heavenly Demon Emperor demanded, his brows tightly furrowed.
“You cannot even gauge my strength. To act rashly without assurance would only lead to your deaths,”
Jiang HuanYu said with chilling certainty.
“So I advise you to think carefully before making a move. If you care so little about your lives or those
of your clansmen, then go ahead and try.
“I will show you what true despair looks like.”
Now that the Shura Clan was no longer a concern, Jiang HuanYu had no reason to hold back.
A hint of menace was necessary to enforce his will.
Once the unification was complete and they experienced the true might of the Jiang Empire, any
lingering resentment would give way to relief that they hadn’t acted impulsively.
“You think we can’t defeat you if we unite?”
“Don’t forget, the Demon Realm doesn’t just consist of us four. With the surrounding Heavenly
Emperor and Sovereign level cultivators, we could overwhelm you,” the Rakshasa Emperor countered,
trying to leverage their numerical advantage.
This was a battle of momentum.
Whichever side displayed weaker momentum would inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.
The Rakshasa Emperor sought to reclaim the momentum lost by asserting their overwhelming
numbers.
Jiang HuanYu swept his gaze around the area, noticing the Demon Realm’s Heavenly Emperors and
Sovereigns lurking below, eager to join the fray.
He was well aware that with a single command from the Heavenly Demon Emperor, those forces would
immediately pounce, initiating a full-scale battle.
“Why must it come to this?”
“I’ve grown tired of pretenses, yet you still force me to prove myself,” Jiang HuanYu thought with
exasperation.
With a sigh, he released a trace of his aura, allowing it to envelop the three Demon Realm leaders.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
To the shock and terror of everyone present, the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Rakshasa Emperor,
and the Ghost King Emperor all dropped to their knees midair, bowing to Jiang HuanYu
