The Jade Emperor was extremely angry. He had never deeply considered this issue before, but now that he was truly facing it, he realized just how low his influence was.
His loyal subordinates, Yang Jian and others, had limited combat abilities. How could they possibly contend with the Demon Realm Army?
What was even more terrifying was the sheer number of the Demon Realm Army—three hundred million!
That kind of number surpassed the entire Army of the Nine Immortal Realm by a wide margin.
The Jade Emperor felt as if he were at the end of his rope. The Immortal Emperors of the Nine Immortal Realm were not offering any help; they were clearly just there to watch the show. How could he cope with that?
Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm, public sentiment was united, allowing them to rally three hundred million troops. Even the Sea Tribe had joined in. The Jade Emperor knew that with the Sea Tribe's involvement, it meant that the entire Demon Realm had become a solid front. Although there were not many strong figures at the level of Demon Emperor within the Demon Realm compared to the Nine Immortal Realm, those few Demon Emperors could easily overturn his Jade Emperor Palace.
What good was it that there were many strong figures at the Immortal Emperor level in the Nine Immortal Realm?
It was useless; they were merely a group of spectators, eager for his downfall.
The Jade Emperor sat on his dragon throne, glaring at the lazy Immortal Emperors standing below him, filled with rage. Under normal circumstances, he might have exploded in anger and severely injured those Immortal Emperors one by one. A group of spectators who could turn on him at any moment was worse than having no one at all.
But during this special time, the Jade Emperor dared not act so recklessly. He needed to conserve his strength and that of the Jade Emperor Palace, holding onto his last shred of hope.
What if the Demon Realm Army wasn't as united as it seemed?
Moreover, the Jade Emperor understood deeply that with Dark Mage's reputation and status, it would be unlikely for just a few Demon Emperors to confront him all at once. It would surely be a one-on-one challenge. As long as he could defeat Dark Mage then, it would silence everyone from the Demon Realm.
The Jade Emperor had lost confidence in the strength of the Nine Immortal Realm and in those Immortal Emperors; he had lost confidence in all factions of Cloud Spirit Sect.
But he had absolute confidence in his own strength!
After all, he still had a trump card—a card that could make Dark Mage suffer here!
"Gentlemen, with the Demon Realm Army launching a massive invasion, I am honored that you can come to Jade Emperor Palace to participate in this battle."
"The Demon Realm Army is the enemy of the entire Nine Immortal Realm. We must unite, using the Jade Emperor Palace as our base, to repel the Demon Realm Army and drive them out of the Nine Immortal Realm."
"Perhaps you all have some misunderstandings about me. Over the years, I have not led the Nine Immortal Realm to new glory. But I have been working hard to improve myself and cultivate my own strength. When the Demon Realm Army arrives, I will deal with the Dark Mage while you handle the remaining Demon Emperors. If you work together against them, it will be beneficial for you."
"What do you all think?"
The Jade Emperor looked calmly at the other Immortal Emperors, as if negotiating but also issuing a command. Deep down, he knew that these words were futile; the Immortal Emperors would not take them seriously.
"Immortal Emperor, let's see how things unfold at that time. The Demon Realm Army numbers three hundred million, along with countless warships and aggressive magical techniques. If they strike together, even if we had ten times our current number, we would stand no chance."
"Indeed, Immortal Emperor, three hundred million is insurmountable. Even if the entire Nine Immortal Realm united, we would still be no match for them! What we need to do is discuss amicably and see what the Dark Mage truly intends."
"Immortal Emperor, I feel that the Dark Mage and the Demon Realm Army's intentions are not so simple; perhaps they have ulterior motives."
"If a negotiation can resolve this, that would be best. However, if it comes down to a last resort, rest assured, Immortal Emperor. We are all part of the Nine Immortal Realm. If our survival is threatened, we will certainly take action and will not stand by idly."
The Immortal Emperors began to speak up in unison, conveying two main points to the Jade Emperor.
First, they were merely spectators and had no intention of intervening; after all, it seemed that the Demon Realm Army was targeting him and the Jade Emperor Palace—what did it have to do with them?
Second, while your plan sounds good—dealing with the strongest Dark Mage while we handle the other Demon Emperors—why should we do that? They are coming for you; we are not fools to help you.
Third, if it truly comes down to the survival of the Nine Immortal Realm and we cannot save ourselves, then there’s no point in holding back; we would fight to our last breath!
However, those Immortal Emperors believed such a situation was nearly impossible.
The Jade Emperor had long anticipated that the Immortal Emperors would respond this way, so he was neither surprised nor angry.
He had already bottled up enough frustration inside him; he didn't mind adding a little more.
"A bunch of scoundrels! Had I known it would turn out like this, I would have taken each of you down one by one!"
The Jade Emperor's cold gaze swept over the Immortal Emperors, who seemed completely unfazed, chatting and laughing among themselves, indifferent to the threat in his eyes.
"Paralyze them! When the Dark Mage arrives, I'll make sure to play with you all! Damn fools, trying to stay out of this?"
The Jade Emperor chuckled coldly, plotting many schemes in his heart.
"Report!"
At that moment, a golden-armored soldier rushed in, kneeling in the great hall, and urgently said, "Celestial Emperor, the Demon Realm Army is advancing rapidly and is now only a thousand miles from the Jade Emperor Palace!"
"A thousand miles!"
The Jade Emperor stood up abruptly, sneering, "A thousand miles away is but a moment's notice. Will you all join me in battle?"
He scanned the crowd; each person had their own hidden agendas and could only nod in agreement. In reality, whether to fight or not was their own business. When it came down to it, who would be foolish enough to help the Jade Emperor? Each of those Immortal Emperors was shrewdly calculating, secretly wishing for the Dark Mage to eliminate the Jade Emperor so they could seize their chance at power.
The Jade Emperor led a large group of people out of the Jade Emperor Palace, gazing northward. The Demon Realm Army was approaching from the north; at their speed, it wouldn't take long for them to arrive.
As soon as the Jade Emperor and the Immortal Emperors emerged, those surrounding the Jade Emperor Palace looked up in awe. Regardless of anything else, the Jade Emperor and those Immortal Emperors were dominant figures of immense power, far beyond what ordinary members of the Cloud Spirit Sect could imagine.
"They're all out! It seems like the Demon Realm Army is coming soon?"
"They're already a thousand miles away."
"Then it's true. But it's a bit strange; why isn't the Jade Emperor worried at all?"
"Could it be that the other Immortal Emperors have agreed to help?"
"If all the other Immortal Emperors are helping out, then things won't be good. No matter how strong the Demon Realm Army is, they can't possibly have that many powerful Martial Emperor Realm figures; they will ultimately lose."
"Exactly. As long as we eliminate the top-tier figures of the Demon Realm Army, there’s nothing left to fear from the rest."
“Even with an army, once the higher-ups are dead, it will be chaos, and we’re finished!”
“Are we thinking too seriously? Just look at those Immortal Emperors; do they seem like they’re here to help?”
“No way! I feel like they’re just here to watch the show. They’re even sneering quietly; how could they possibly help the Jade Emperor?”
“Exactly, they’re just here for entertainment. No matter what, they won’t lend a hand.”
“Let’s just hope they don’t take advantage of us when we’re down and expect them to help.”
…
The crowd whispered among themselves. Those Immortal Emperors were merely spectators, and weren’t they the same?
In fact, their hearts were even more malicious; they wished for all the Immortal Emperors to perish so that their Cloud Spirit Sect would have a chance. As for whether the Nine Immortal Realm would be invaded by the Demon Domain afterward, that was never considered…
Human nature is inherently selfish; what can one expect?
“Grandfather, we’ll soon arrive at the Jade Emperor Palace. According to the rules, shouldn’t the strongest from both sides fight?” Wei Chen looked at the Dark Mage and asked calmly.
The Dark Mage nodded and smiled, “I must fight the Jade Emperor. I’ve reached the seventh level of Stellar Technique; even if I stand still while he attacks me, he won’t be able to harm me. You can rest assured.”
“Grandfather, that’s not what I meant.”
Wei Chen shook his head and continued, “Grandfather, I want to fight the Jade Emperor myself. You just watch from the side and cheer for me.”
Upon hearing this, the Dark Mage firmly shook his head in refusal. “Child, you are already a deity. Against the Jade Emperor, with just one move, you could reduce him to ashes. Why should you take action? Isn’t it unfair for a god to fight against a mortal?”
After a pause, the Dark Mage continued, “This battle must be fought by me. I know your intentions, but I am well aware of the Jade Emperor’s capabilities. Years ago, during the chaotic battlefield, I crossed swords with him and understand his methods very well.”
“There’s no need for further persuasion on this matter; how could I let you Divine Realm’s Fellow deal with mere mortals?”
The Dark Mage looked at Wei Chen, a look of satisfaction on his face. With such an outstanding grandson, how could the Dark Mage not feel pleased?
Wei Chen thought for a moment and said softly, "Grandpa, be careful. The Jade Emperor might have a very powerful weapon."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Mage became somewhat cautious. If even Wei Chen considered it a formidable weapon, it must be something extraordinary.
"Child, what kind of weapon is it?" the Dark Mage asked quietly.
Wei Chen replied, "It's a divine artifact, most likely a divine sword."
"A divine sword? A weapon of the gods?" The Dark Mage frowned; if that were the case, it would indeed be difficult to handle!
Wei Chen shook his head and sighed, "Grandpa, it's a weapon that even the top gods within the Endless Divine Realm covet!"
As they drew closer to the Jade Emperor Palace, Wei Chen felt the Reprint in his hand tremble slightly.
The aura of another divine artifact was becoming increasingly intense. While others might not sense it, Wei Chen could clearly feel that there was a divine artifact present at the location of the Jade Emperor Palace!
The Xuanyuan Sword was ninety-nine percent likely to be in the hands of the Jade Emperor. Although the Jade Emperor absolutely did not have the qualifications to truly wield the Xuanyuan Sword, merely bringing it out as an ordinary sword to battle the Dark Mage would give him a significant advantage. The Dark Mage's Stellar Technique at its seventh layer made his body incredibly strong, but even so, he might not be able to match up against the Xuanyuan Sword!
