Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 595: Pursuit of the Eternal Night Sovereign

However, at this moment, a deep voice suddenly echoed.

"This ends here."

Everything around them suddenly turned black. Even the brilliant silver light of the space element was quietly extinguished at this moment. Everything around them was shrouded in darkness; the light of the stars and moon was obliterated, and endless darkness seemed ready to swallow the three of them, covering everything.

The pupils of the Peacock Great Demon King, Tang San, and Mei Gongzi almost simultaneously contracted. The immense pressure and the terrifying aura coming from all directions instantly caused their hearts to sink. There was only one person on the entire Daemon Continent who could do something like this.

The Eternal Night Sovereign, the Tenebrous Demon Emperor.

The Peacock Great Demon King never imagined that even after teleporting such a long distance, an enemy would still follow. Even more surprising was that it wasn't their arch-enemy, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, but the Tenebrous Demon Emperor.

Compared to the ninth-ranked Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, there was no doubt that the sixth-ranked Tenebrous Demon Emperor was much more terrifying. He was a veteran Emperor, and a dragon to boot! In terms of both strength and experience, he far surpassed the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. Moreover, it was nighttime now, and there was a very good reason he was known as the Eternal Night Sovereign. At night, even Demon Emperors ranked above him might not be able to defeat him.

The Peacock Great Demon King took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Is it Your Majesty, the Tenebrous Demon Emperor? May I ask why you are blocking our way?"

The voice of the Tenebrous Demon Emperor came from all directions, "Do you even need to ask? Your daughter ruined my most outstanding successor, cutting off the lineage of the Tenebrous Demon Emperor. Why wouldn’t I be blocking your way? Tonight, you will die."

"Your Majesty, wait a moment," the Peacock Great Demon King called out loudly. "May I ask how you caught up with us? I believe that since we teleported so far, even an Emperor shouldn't be able to catch up immediately... unless you already knew our destination."

"You only say that because you don't understand Emperors," the Tenebrous Demon Emperor said calmly. "Every Emperor has their own domain, and in that domain, they are absolute rulers. Your biggest mistake was choosing to leave during the night. The night belongs to me. In the darkness, your departure and the light you created became the most obvious target. I didn't catch up; you brought me here. You illuminated the night and left shadows, naturally bringing me along. Anyway, no point wasting time here. With your cultivation, even the Celestial Plume cannot help you against me. As long as it’s night, even if you somehow become an Emperor in the next three seconds, you won't escape my grasp."

He followed us using our... shadows in the night? I never expected him to be so terrifying...

The Peacock Great Demon King couldn't help but gasp. His heart sank to the bottom. With the Tenebrous Demon Emperor here, all their plans had been for naught. Even in Kali City, where he could leverage the city's power, he couldn't resist this one.

At that moment, he suddenly saw Asura move to Mei Gongzi's side, shielding her behind him.

The surrounding darkness deepened, and the immense pressure from all directions, filled with dense darkness elemental energy, pressed inward, rendering the Peacock Great Demon King's control over space completely useless. The space elemental energy was rapidly extinguished.

This was absolute power suppression. Even if the Peacock Great Demon King had been in peak condition, he would have had no chance of fighting back. And not only was he severely injured, but it was nighttime, so the Eternal Night Sovereign was even more powerful than usual. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Tang San looked at the Peacock Great Demon King and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for teleportation. I'll break through the night, and you can take us away."

The Peacock Great Demon King was stunned. Even he couldn't break through this extinguishing darkness! No matter how extraordinary the young man was, he wasn't even a god yet. How could he achieve this?

Then he saw a flash of light in Asura’s hand—there was now a small item in it. Asura raised his hand and threw the item into the sky.

It was a small and delicate sword that didn’t look special in any way.

But the next moment, it radiated incredible sharpness, so much so that even looking at it made one’s eyes hurt. The sudden sharp aura sliced through the sky as if intent on tearing the entire world apart!

"The Sword Saint's token? Hmph, do you think he would act for you—"

But just as the Tenebrous Demon Emperor's mocking words echoed, a deep voice interrupted him. "Tenebrous, bullying the weak is rather unbecoming of an Emperor, don’t you feel?"

The next moment, the small sword suddenly enlarged, and the already sharp edge became even more astonishingly sharp, cutting through the very fabric of space. In the dark night, it forcibly opened a rift!

"Sword Saint, are you seriously opposing me?" the Tenebrous Demon Emperor's angry voice rang out.

Seizing the moment of this incredible sword strike, the silver light flashed, and the Peacock Great Demon King instantly teleported away with Tang San and Mei Gongzi.

Then a figure emerged from the darkness—indistinct and radiating a faint purple glow. Raising his right hand before his face, he held a small sword between his index and middle fingers.

His expression was very grim. A sword strike like this couldn’t be taken casually, even if he was an Emperor.

Although the Sword Saint Demon Emperor ranked below him, his strength couldn't be measured by mere rankings. What the Tenebrous Demon Emperor didn't understand was why the Sword Saint Demon Emperor would intervene for people who had nothing to do with him, even going as far as to attack him directly.

Meanwhile, at the Sword Saint Palace, the Emperor in question opened his eyes. It was as if two flashes of cold lightning were reflected in his pupils, and he slowly lowered his hand.

"If they can survive, they will become absolutely outstanding."

What the Tenebrous Demon Emperor couldn't understand was already causing turmoil in Mei Gongzi's heart during the teleportation.

At the moment the astonishing sword radiance rose, she finally understood why Asura had said that the friendship of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor was far more important than one or even two divine weapons. She hadn't expected to get an answer to this question so fast and in such a direct manner.

The two of them had a total of four tokens from the Sword Saint Demon Emperor. If the Sword Saint Demon Emperor was willing to intervene four times on account of these tokens, it was indeed worth far more than two divine weapons.

Forget about two, even if they had ten of the greatest divine weapons in hand, they couldn't contend with the Tenebrous Demon Emperor, but the Sword Saint Demon Emperor could.

Silver light flickered, and when they reappeared, they were in another location. Due to haste, the Peacock Great Demon King's teleportation hadn’t taken them far, but they were still several kilometers away from the original location.

"He'll come again soon. Prepare for another teleportation," Tang San said as he took the Sword Saint Demon Emperor's tokens from Mei Gongzi.

She was indeed intelligent—the moment she figured out his intentions, she immediately took out the Sword Saint Demon Emperor's tokens and had them ready for him.

Tang San calmly looked into the distance. In the dark, the Tenebrous Demon Emperor's pursuit speed was simply ridiculous. Their teleportation left traces in the night, and these normally inconspicuous traces were quite literally beacons for him to follow.

Without any hesitation, Tang San threw out yet another small sword, and the astonishing sharpness reappeared. This time, even before the night fully descended, the massive sword radiance had already cleaved through the void.

A large hand formed from darkness reached directly for the sword radiance. The Tenebrous Demon Emperor's icy voice echoed across the sky, "I want to see how many times you can make him strike for you."

The sword radiance grew explosively, rising with the wind, and its sword intent soared to the heavens, slashing straight at the giant dark hand. The moment the dark hand collided with the sword radiance, an intense shockwave erupted, shaking the heavens and earth. The Tenebrous Demon Emperor's dark hand was cleaved apart by the sword radiance, dissolving into nothingness.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the Peacock Great Demon King quickly executed another teleportation, once again disappearing with Tang San and Mei Gongzi.
