"Are you really certain you now possess the strength to fight this Emperor as an equal?"

Bai Xiaofan chuckled softly, his feet falling in succession for eight steps as he executed the Nine Steps to Trample the Heavens. His cultivation instantly soared to the early stage of the Unity Realm, and a terrifying aura surged out from his body!

In just the span of a single breath, the pressure that had spread out when the Black Dragon God first appeared was shattered by Bai Xiaofan’s aura—and it was done without the slightest effort!

"You should be well aware that one cannot rely too much on others to raise their cultivation, especially after the third step. Although the Demon Dragon can help you heal your injuries and elevate your realm to the mid Unity Realm, it cannot allow you to possess strength that matches your current cultivation!"

Bai Xiaofan spoke faintly, his eyes fixed on the other party, as if he were the ruler of this piece of sky, the life and death of all beings in this world resting between a single thought of his!

"The Desolate Emperor is indeed the Desolate Emperor. There is no longer any need for this battle. I have lost!"

Staring at Bai Xiaofan for a long time, the Black Dragon God sighed as he spoke. His voice instantly grew much older, like that of an old man in his twilight years, and his figure also changed into that of a middle-aged man!

Boom!

Hearing the Black Dragon God’s words, everyone around—whether the cultivators of the Immortal Realm or the experts of Yao Shen City—was stunned for a moment. They stared at the Black Dragon God in disbelief, unable to accept what they had just heard!

Lost?

The battle had not even begun, and he had already lost just like that?

They were dumbfounded!

Everyone present, aside from Bai Xiaofan and the Black Dragon God, was utterly stupefied, as if they had all been struck on their acupuncture points, standing there blankly, foolishly, motionless!

What on earth had happened?

Just a second ago, weren’t they still at daggers drawn, ready to fight to the death?

How had the Black Dragon God surrendered in the blink of an eye?

Everyone realized their brains didn’t seem to be enough for this!

"I earnestly beg the Desolate Emperor to spare the lives of the people of my Beast Continent. They are innocent!"

Ignoring what others might think, the Black Dragon God took a step forward and spoke to Bai Xiaofan before him!

"Rest assured, this Emperor is not one who slaughters the innocent at will. But if, after your death, they still dare to resist, this Emperor will show no mercy!"

Bai Xiaofan spoke softly, still bearing the posture of one who ruled over all living things!

"I’ll give you this sword. If one day you meet someone who recognizes it, I’ll trouble you to pass her a message for me: the thing I regret most in this life is leaving her."

After hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, the Black Dragon God took out a Longsword shimmering with silver radiance and handed it to Bai Xiaofan before him!

Then, the Black Dragon God looked down at the cultivators of the Beast Continent below and shouted loudly, "Hear my command, all of you. After my death, you must obey the Desolate Emperor’s leadership. Whoever dares disobey will no longer be qualified to be a subject of my Beast Continent!"

As his voice fell, the Black Dragon God took one last look at the crowd below, then slowly raised his palm and slammed it fiercely into his own chest!

Puff!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and the Black Dragon God’s body plummeted from midair, crashing into the ground and blasting a hole into it!

Dead!

A generation’s Demon God thus fell before everyone’s eyes!

Staring at the sudden scene before them, their gazes fixed on the Black Dragon God’s lifeless corpse, deathly silence descended all around!

"Bury him. He counts as a heroic overlord."

Bai Xiaofan said faintly, then casually handed the Silver Dragon Sword in his hand to the one in silver clothes. "This Longsword suits you better. If you encounter anyone in the future who recognizes it, pass along the Black Dragon God’s words to her."

Afterwards, Bai Xiaofan’s figure flickered and vanished from everyone’s sight, as if he had never appeared at all!

Seeing Bai Xiaofan depart, Luo Yun ordered people to bury the dead Black Dragon God below, and also sent people to begin comprehensively taking over all affairs of Yao Shen City!

The news of the Black Dragon God’s death instantly spread to every corner of the Immortal Realm Continent!

Ancient Immortal Realm!

When Long Zaitian and Du Gu Kuang heard this news, although they had already had a vague premonition in their hearts, they were still truly shaken, especially when they learned that the Black Dragon God had committed suicide—they were even more filled with doubt!

Just what had the Black Dragon God and Bai Xiaofan talked about that could make the Black Dragon God abandon everything and ultimately choose to take his own life?

Of course, they also knew that no matter what Bai Xiaofan and the Black Dragon God had discussed, the Immortal Realm Continent was now likely stabilized!

At the beginning, they had thought they could use the forces of the Immortal Realm to heavily damage the Beast Continent, and then their Ancient Immortal Realm would emerge out of nowhere to subdue all the powers on the Immortal Realm Continent!

Yet they had not expected that, because of Bai Xiaofan’s appearance, everything had completely changed!

Now, without a doubt, the Immortal Realm had become the absolute power that truly ruled the Immortal Realm Continent!

As for the Ancient Immortal Realm, although it was also filled with experts, unfortunately there was likely no one who could be a match for Bai Xiaofan—not even True Person Tianyun!

On the other side, True Person Tianyun, who was still in seclusion recuperating from his injuries, did not show much surprise when he heard this news. He merely nodded and dismissed his subordinates!

Meanwhile, in another space, a black-clothed figure was raging in fury!

This black-clothed man’s face was somewhat pale, as though he had just been injured. At this moment, he was staring gloomily at a Formation before him, within which the Black Dragon God’s suicide was clearly displayed!

"Trash, all of them are trash. To kill himself without even fighting—how is that the bearing a true expert should have?"

The black-clothed man cursed loudly, his gaze viciously fixed on Bai Xiaofan’s disappearing back within the Formation. "Desolate Emperor, just you wait. It won’t be long before we meet again. When that time comes, I will make you understand what it means to wish you were dead!"

As his voice fell, the Demon Dragon turned and looked toward the gates of the great hall. "Go inform Her Highness the Princess that I have already found her enemy. Tell her to hurry and restore her cultivation at any cost, because it won’t be long before that enemy comes killing his way here!"

Then, a sly, sinister smile flashed in the black-clothed man’s eyes, as if he could already see the scene of Bai Xiaofan being tortured by him until he wished for death!

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed since the cultivators of the Immortal Realm broke through Yao Shen City and the Black Dragon God died!

During this half month, under the arrangements of Luo Yun, Wu Tian, and the others, the whole of Yao Shen City had once again stabilized, and several sects of various sizes had been established within the city!

This was Bai Xiaofan’s decision. Since Yao Shen City had now been subdued, it had to be thoroughly assimilated. Thus, several sects were directly relocated to this Beast Continent and stationed inside Yao Shen City!

The cultivators within Yao Shen City still had sorrow in their eyes, but at least one thing made them happy: they were still alive, and being alive was better than anything!

Moreover, everything was just as Bai Xiaofan had promised the Black Dragon God—the cultivators of the Immortal Realm had not made things difficult for them!
