Fairyland, Cuibo Lake.

The wind blew wildly across the vast lake, creating huge waves that were then shattered by the murderous force.

"After passing Cuibo Lake, we will reach Twilight Island. Once we reach Twilight Island, we can take a breath. It will be very difficult for the demons to attack Twilight Island in the vast Cuibo Lake."

After listening to what the deputy general beside him said, the Emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.

"Give the order to let those who are seriously injured go to Twilight Island first. You guys should follow me from behind and hold on. Don't let them slow down our speed."

"Yes, Emperor of Heaven!"

The deputy general who received the order quickly went to make arrangements, while the Emperor of Heaven slowed down the pace with the strongest team around him, fighting and retreating, and soon fell to the very end of the army.

At this moment, a mocking voice echoed across the lake from behind.

“Tsk tsk tsk, who is that person in front? How come he is running away so miserably? It’s almost hard to tell what he originally looked like.”

Hearing the voice, the Emperor of Heaven turned around with a grim expression, only to see the Demon Lord chasing after him with his big knife. He held the knife in his left hand and a bloody head in his right hand. The owner of the head was none other than his subordinate.

Seeing this, the subordinates around the Emperor of Heaven were so excited that they wanted to turn back to fight, but were stopped by the Emperor of Heaven.

"Emperor Tian, ​​that's my brother! I..."

"Bear it."

"But we have fought together for so many years, and now he..."

"I said bear with it!"

The Emperor of Heaven scolded and interrupted him directly.

Facing his red eyes and miserable face, the Emperor of Heaven said, "Do you think I don't want to fight? What kind of a thing is the Demon Lord on the opposite side? I have been practicing for 100,000 years. When I became the Heaven and Earth, he was not even born yet! With his little cultivation, am I afraid of him? Do I want to endure it?"

The subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven, the eight-foot-tall men covered in blood, could not control their tears for a moment and burst into tears.

"We can see that Twilight Continent is ahead. If he doesn't come to provoke us, why would we stay? If we stay and fall into their trap, what will happen to the seriously injured immortal soldiers behind us? Who will take care of them? If the front line can't hold on, what will happen to this huge immortal clan with so many women and children?"

The Emperor of Heaven roared, "Ignore them, retreat to Twilight Continent!"

The subordinate suppressed his emotions and stood up straight: "Yes! Emperor of Heaven!"

The Emperor clenched his fists and slowed down his pace even more than before, so he became the last one in the rear guard.

He was the first one to block the attack from the demon army behind him, including the pursuing Demon Lord. He also stared at them intently. He wanted to protect his immortal army and retreat to Twilight Continent.

"Isn't this the Emperor of Heaven? How come you are running so fast? Weren't you arrogant when you suppressed our demon clan? Why are you all acting like rats now? Where's your backbone? Where's your strength? Where's the arrogance that treated people like non-humans? Show it to us!"

When the Demon Lord shouted, the surrounding demons immediately laughed.

"Take it out!"

"Cowardly dog!"

"Coward!"

"Skeleton!"

"Hahaha…"

The Emperor's grip on the sword became tighter and tighter, but in the end it turned into a powerful force that sliced ​​into the surface of Cui Bo Lake, causing a huge wave and separating the demons behind and the retreating immortals.

When the lake water splashed up and formed a temporary barrier, the immortals retreated to Twilight Island one after another.

"Emperor of Heaven, you can retreat to the Twilight Continent, but can you retreat to the back of the entire fairyland? If you retreat further, you will have nowhere to retreat."

Those were the last words that the Emperor of Heaven heard from the Demon Lord before he went to Dusk Continent. His heart sank when he heard them.

On Cui Bo Lake, the demons looked at Twilight Island ahead from afar.

"Demon Lord, should we chase after him?"

"Don't be in a hurry. It will be very difficult to attack rashly from our position. It may even be counterproductive. Besides, it will be dark soon. Pass the order down. Everyone retreat, go ashore to rest, and wait for the order for the next attack."

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

Twilight Island.

The immortals who had just arrived on the continent quickly set up a barrier on Twilight Island to ensure that they would have time to respond if the demons attacked at the first opportunity.

"Emperor Tian, ​​the demon army on Cuibo Lake has retreated. They should be going back to rest and prepare for the next attack."

The Emperor nodded and sat down on a stone at the edge of Twilight Island. After these days of running around and fighting, he was no longer the same Emperor who used to sit in the hall, delicate and particular about everything.

The afterglow of the setting sun

"How many casualties were there this time?"

The deputy general looked so unhappy that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"There's nothing that can't be said."

So he handed a list to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven looked down and his brows, which had not been relaxed to begin with, furrowed even deeper.

"If it weren't for the Demon Suppression Tower incident, the Purple Star Emperor... the traitor Purple Star trapped us in the Demon Suppression Tower and persecuted us, causing us to suffer heavy losses. We wouldn't have had such a hard time fighting! The demons aren't that powerful!"

"You don't have to keep talking about the past. If you talk too much, you will be immersed in these useless emotions and lose sight of the present, which is the most important thing."

The deputy general looked at the Emperor and opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words back.

"Let's arrange treatment for the wounded first. Twilight Island can hold out for a while. When support arrives from the rear, we'll have a chance."

"Yes."

The deputy general turned around and ran downstairs to arrange the follow-up matters. At this time, another deputy general ran up and bowed to the Emperor of Heaven.

"Emperor of Heaven, the coalition forces of the various immortal palaces on the left side were defeated while resisting the pursuit led by Leng Mingchuan, and suffered heavy losses."

"Leng Mingchuan? This name sounds familiar."

"Leng Mingchuan is the eldest son of the Demon Lord and the High Prince of the Demon Clan. He and the Demon Lord's second daughter, Leng Fangfei, are both very good at leading troops in battle.

In those days, the two of them often competed for the strongest position and constantly improved their strength, so that both of them became stronger and stronger. Later, Leng Fangfei died in Broken Soul Mountain, and Leng Mingchuan took control of the soldiers she left behind, many of whom were elite.

Therefore, the Immortal Palace coalition forces were somewhat unable to resist and were in a very difficult situation, so…"

"So what? Stop hemming and hawing!"

"So they asked you if they could... lend them some troops."

The Emperor of Heaven, who was sitting on the stone, had his brows furrowed even more tightly.

When he didn't speak, both of them could feel that the air between them seemed to be stagnant, making it hard to breathe.

"Yes, please send another team to our place."

"But Heavenly Emperor, we are the main force on the front. We are resisting the strongest elite of the demon army and the demon clan. We can't hold on any longer. If we send more troops at this time, I'm afraid..."

"Just lend it to me if I ask you to. I'll find a way to handle it here."

"Can…"

"Don't worry! I haven't fallen yet. I won't let the demon's sword swing down on the heads of all the immortals!"
