Chapter 824: The First Demon Emperor-Shen Anshuang (2)
"Xian’er, heed my words: never allow love to cloud your heart. Never place your trust in another soul if you wish to avoid the fate that befell your mother, the Empress. Be merciless, and be unwavering in your resolve." The voice resonated through the grand throne hall, where an abundance of diamonds, rare gems, and treasures glittered in the dim light.
The imposing figure, draped in regal attire, exuded an air of authority that seemed to eclipse the very essence of life.
Although she bore the monumental title of the first female lord to wield supreme power over the vast realms, she shunned the designation of Demon Empress. Instead, she insisted on being addressed as the Demon Emperor.
Her intention was clear: she aimed to remind the world that a woman could govern a domain dominated by men, that she could shoulder the formidable power typically reserved for them.
However, fate took a dark turn. After enduring grave wounds in a fierce battle against the supreme cultivators from the various realms, the Demon Elders, once her allies, cowardly manipulated the narrative.
They revised the recognition of her strength, branding her illegitimate and proclaiming that only men could hold titles of power. Thus, her title was diminished to that of ’Demon Prince’ or ’Demon King,’ a reflection of their male supremacy.
The Demon Emperor, at the pinnacle of her might, faced an onslaught that proved her vulnerability. The collaborative forces from the eight realms conspired to eradicate her, intent on silencing the threat she posed.
They knew that should she summon her power from the depths of the Demon Realm, they stood no chance against her formidable strength.
With a facade of righteousness, they aimed their weapons at her, proclaiming, "Your existence endangers the realm. As guardians of justice, we must protect the eight realms from your malevolence." In their hypocrisy, they sought to exclude her essence from the world.
