Chapter 2953: I’m the Trend
“Desolate Sea, you’ve crossed the line.”
Right then, Die Yue suddenly spoke with a calm tone without any emotions. Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea turned to look at Die Yue and said in a deep voice, “Blood b.u.t.terfly, I just want to help you. You should know that Emperor Azure Flame can return at any moment and you’re injured. There’s no way you can defend against Blue’s next attack.”
“The only way I can help you defend the East Wilderness is by becoming a peak Demon Emperor!”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea’s tone was sincere. Even Demon Emperor Bai Ze Demon Emperor Heaven Thrusting and the others fell into deep thought and ’ were a little convinced.
In extreme times, we naturally have to resort to extreme means.”
Demon Emperor Great Peng added, “The East Wilderness is in danger now. For the bigger picture, what’s wrong with Desolate Martial making some sacrifices? We’re just asking him to hand over some world fragments. It’s not like we want his life,”
“Isn’t it too selfish for him to hold on to those world fragments and not let go?” When Die Yue heard that, she raised her brow and asked, “So, it’s alright to sacrifice others for the sake of the bigger picture? In that case, if I want to refine your worlds to heal myself, will you guys hand them over?”
Demon Emperor Great Peng’s expression changed as he harrumphed softly. “How is that an equal comparison?”
Die Yue did not say anything else and merely looked at the two of them with a fake smile.
When Demon Emperor Great Peng mentioned sacrificing others, he could speak righteously. However, when he heard that he had to sacrifice himself he cowered.
In reality, that was also the reason why Demon Emperor Divine Elephant and the others were willing to follow Die Yue.
If others could be sacrificed for the sake of the bigger picture, who could guarantee that they would not be the next to be sacrificed?
“Blood b.u.t.terfly.”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea said, “You know in your heart that the East Wilderness can’t be defended. If I obtain those world fragments and advance to the perfected Emperor realm, with my help, the East Wilderness will still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, the East Wilderness will definitely die!” -Do you really think that this Desolate Martial you found can defend against Blue’s army and Emperor Azure Flame?”
Die Yue seemed to be dispirited and waved it off. “What do you want to say? Just say it.”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “If Desolate Martial hands over those world fragments and I have a chance to ’ advance to the perfected Emperor realm, I’ll naturally stay and help you. However, if he doesn’t…”
“Leave then.”
Before Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea could finish, Die Yue interrupted. The other Demon Emperors were shocked when they heard that. They did have some arguments before this. However, even when Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea and Demon Emperor Great Peng found excuses to avoid fighting, things did not go to such an extent!
But now, that layer of pretense was finally exposed!
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea lowered his head slightly and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Blood b.u.t.terfly, I’ve followed you for many years but I can’t compare to Desolate Martial? You’d rather protect him and chase me away?”
Demon Emperor Great Peng shook his head as well. “Blood b.u.t.terfly, aren’t your words way too disheartening?”
Die Yue looked at the other Demon Emperors. “Anyone else who wants to leave can leave with Desolate Sea. I won’t stop you.”
The Demon Emperors knew that since Die Yue said that, she would not go back on her word.
Demon Emperor Kui Niu stood on the side of Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea as well.
Initially, Demon Emperor Mystic Snake wanted to leave the East Wilderness as well. However, he stole a glance at the Martial Dao Prime Body not far away and his heart skipped a beat. Instantly, those thoughts of his vanished right away.
Demon Emperor Divine Elephant, Demon Empress Nine Tails, Demon Emperor Bai Ze and Demon Emperor Heaven Thrusting did not move at all.
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea’s performance earlier on might be able to deceive others, but not them.
He was overbearing earlier on and even wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Desolate Martial’s world fragments. All of that was because he wanted to find a reasonable excuse to leave the East Wilderness and Die Yue.
Since his thoughts could not be hidden from Demon Emperor Divine Elephant and the others, they naturally could not be hidden from Die Yue either.
That was the reason why Die Yue went with the flow.
Since Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea wanted to leave with a clear conscience Die Yue fulfilled his wish. It could also be considered an end to their many ’ years of friends.h.i.+p.
“Sigh.”
Suddenly, Demon Emperor Divine Elephant sighed and revealed a reminiscent expression. “Back then, when we followed Blood b.u.t.terfly, we were only Demon Kings. If not for her help, we would probably still be stuck, unable to advance to the Emperor realm.”
“All these years, after every battle between the East Wilderness and Blue if we obtain world fragments, Blood b.u.t.terfly would give them to us and let us cultivate.”
“If not for that, how could we have cultivated to the major Emperor realm?” “Cultivation resources of the Emperor realm are extremely precious and rare.
Despite that, Blood b.u.t.terfly has given us almost all of them over the years.” “We’ve indeed accompanied her in battle for many years, but when has she ever treated us badly?”
Demon Emperor Divine Elephant was also one of the 12 Demon Kings who followed Die Yue the earliest. Now that he knew that he would be parting with Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea, Demon Emperor Great Peng and the others, he said some things in one go.
“Blood b.u.t.terfly fought against the experts of Blue and was unwilling to retreat. It’s not only for her Dao, but also to protect the homeland beneath our feet.”
Demon Emperor Divine Elephant declared loudly, “She’s also doing it for our other nine brothers, Wild Bovine, Stone Bear, Anaconda, Sanguine Ape, Divine Steed, Nether Tiger, Wind Leopard, Spirit Turtle and Divine Huang!” “She knows that nine of the 12 Demon Kings who followed her back then died in Blue’s hands. She wants to take revenge for the nine of them!”
“As for the two of you who are part of the original 12 Demon Kings as well you’re leaving at her most difficult time. What’s there to be disheartened ’ about?”
“DO you guys really think that Blood b.u.t.terfly can’t tell what you’re thinking?” “She’s just unwilling to point it out on account of our old relations.h.i.+p!” She s the one who should be disheartened!”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea and Demon Emperor Great Peng lowered their heads. Perhaps because they felt guilty, they did not dare to look at Die Yue or meet the eyes of Demon Emperor Divine Elephant.
“There’s no need to say more.”
Die Yue waved it off gently and said indifferently, “Everyone has their own aspirations. Emperor Azure Flame has the bloodline of the Azure Dragon and can be considered to be of the same race as you. I can understand why you’re willing to submit to him.”
The Azure Dragon race!
When Su Zimo heard that, his heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time he knew the background of Emperor Azure Flame. It was no wonder why he had such combat strength.
The Azure Dragon was the strongest bloodline of the Dragon race.
It was said that even in the Dragon World, there might not be one Azure Dragon bloodline in every era.
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea sighed internally and finally raised his head to look at Die Yue. “Blood b.u.t.terfly, the trend is already set. Anyone who stands in front of it will only be crushed.”
“And Blue is representative of the trend?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently.
“What else? Do you expect it to be you instead?”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea still had a hint of respect for Die Yue. However, he did not have a good att.i.tude towards the Martial Dao Prime Body and asked instead.
The trend shall be wherever I am!”
The Martial Dao Prime Body stood up slowly.
Initially, that action was rather ordinary.
However, as he said that, a domineering aura burst forth from the Martial Dao Prime Body. Even Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea frowned and took a half-step back instinctively.
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea realized before long that he looked a little cowardly when he stumbled a half-step back and his expression darkened.
“Desolate Martial.”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea said coldly, “In the future, when I fight against others, I might hold back on account of our past relations.h.i.+p.. However you had better watch out!”
