Chapter 493: Beneath the Void Continent
The battle on the Void Continent raged on. The intensity increased exponentially by the second. Demon lords fell by the second, but the Immortal Court and Numinous Sword Sect weren’t unaffected, either. Although the Qilin Patriarch failed to destroy an emperor-level war formation, many monarch-level war formations collapsed from the assault of the demons.
Minister Vastlight watched all of this with cold eyes. The more time passed, the more disadvantageous it would become for the humans. He could already feel the Spacetime Chessboard losing its hold on the Void Continent. The Void Continent was countering the Spacetime Chessboard and boosting the strength of the demons.
However, Minister Vastlight was sure that there was another demon sovereign hidden on the Void Continent. The three patriarchs of the three clans were in battle and had no time to control the realm artifact, so that could only mean that there was another hidden power.
‘Who could it be?’ Minister Vastlight wondered.
His first thought was that Xuanwu, the Black Tortoise, had broken through to the Demon Sovereign Realm, but he immediately discarded that notion. The time was too short. Unless Xuanwu could awaken all his memories at once, he would not be able to accomplish this. Even if Xuanwu awakened his memories, he wouldn’t forcibly ascend to a higher realm, as that would lead to shaky foundations and stunt his divine path.
Minister Vastlight sighed. Even among the upper echelons of the Demon Clan, such an existence should be a secret few of them knew. He couldn’t help but recall the information about the Concealed Emperor. Although he is the Immortal Court’s longest standing emperor, he is just that, an emperor.
However, Minister Vastlight discovered that Minister Everpast still obeyed the Concealed Emperor’s commands. He couldn’t help but wonder if the Concealed Emperor was an ancient sovereign of the Immortal Court, or someone who reached the half-divine level.
Did the Demon Clan have such an existence, too?
The immortal minister clenched his fist. If his suspicions were correct, then it was impossible to accomplish the operation’s aim. He might as well destroy as many demons as possible and break the Void Continent as much as possible.
