Chapter 810: Ungratefulness

Subdue the enemy without fighting!
At this point, Su Che believed that Ling Xuan should be able to see the truth, make peace with her, and continue to fulfill the original agreement.
She had already been reborn as an immortal; the bones of the demon god were of little use to her, serving mostly as a memento. It would be better to exchange them for better treasures to strengthen her power. Logically, it should be a mutually beneficial situation for everyone.
Yet, after only a brief silence, Ling Xuan snapped angrily, her eyes fierce, “They are them, and I am me! No matter what, my secrets must never be revealed!”
“Ah~~~~”
A shrill scream that could tear at one’s heart followed. Immediately, black energy currents emerged in the air around Su Che and the Dragon Emperor, coalescing into demon souls with long tails. They all let out heart-wrenching screams as they spun rapidly around Su Che and the Dragon Emperor.
“Damn it! I’ve run into a crazy woman who won’t listen to reason or compromise.”
The Dragon Emperor cursed loudly, “Even with the referee stepping in, no one could possibly take action. Yet this wretched woman remains utterly ungrateful.”
Su Che sighed, “Then it can only be said that she’s not human and can’t be judged by ordinary standards.”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Countless black shadows and demon souls rushed at them, trying to invade Su Che and the Dragon Emperor’s bodies and devour their vital spirits.
Normally, with the Immortal Prison around, Su Che wasn’t afraid of such attacks. Even if possessed by spirits or souls, they would be drawn into the Immortal Prison. But since this was her first encounter with the demon souls of ancient demon gods, she had to be cautious, preventing them from getting too close and assessing the situation first.
Great Golden Body Technique! Great Defense Technique!
Su Che immediately deployed these two defensive techniques. The Great Golden Body Technique not only enhanced defense but also had powerful effects in expelling demons and evil spirits. The defensive barrier created by the Great Defense Technique was supposed to keep most spirits and souls at bay.
However, Su Che could predict that these demon souls weren’t that simple. After all, before this, Ling Xuan had devoured several Immortal Emperors, whose defensive abilities were likely on par with hers.
Therefore, in addition to defensive techniques, Su Che also unleashed the Great Dispelling Technique and the Great Purification Technique, two offensive spells with demon-expelling effects.
Hiss!

The Great Dispelment Spell centered around Su Che, unleashing a circular beam of dispelling light in all directions. The nearest demons howled shrilly as their formless bodies twisted strangely a few times, only slowing down slightly before continuing to charge forward.
A master-level Great Dispelment Spell—useless.
Then, a master-level Great Purification Spell!
Swish!
Su Che raised his hand, releasing a milky-white sacred glow that struck directly at one of the charging demons.
Swish!
Like hot soup melting snow, the demon vanished instantly, turning into nothingness.
“It worked?”
Su Che felt relieved, but in the next moment, he saw the demon reappear outside the purifying light’s range, its form still intact with no signs of damage.
Both exorcism spells proved ineffective.
Su Che immediately unleashed chaotic energy around himself. By then, three more demons had rushed forward, ignoring the defensive barrier and piercing through it unimpeded before pouncing on him.
Even the Great Defense Spell was useless, showing just how bizarre and formidable the demons created by the ancient demon gods were. The primal powers they wielded were truly natural enemies of the great arts.
“Ah!”
A shrill howl echoed nearby as the three demons attacked. Their black claws touched the chaotic energy as if they’d touched scorching irons, causing them to scream and retract their claws.
Fortunately, Su Che had obtained the primal power of sound from Tian Yin; otherwise, his soul would have been shaken by their howls. Now, only his eardrums were suffering a bit.
“Get away!”
Boom!
The chaotic energy exploded, scattering the demons like smoke in a storm. By the time they managed to reassemble, they had been blown thousands of feet away.
“The chaotic energy seems to work after all.”
Su Che nodded inwardly.
Looking at the Dragon Emperor on the other side, he hadn’t been possessed by any demons yet. At Su Che’s reminder, the Dragon Emperor summoned a black dragon phantom that circled around him endlessly.
Awoo…
The black dragon opened its maw wide, devouring the surrounding demons, while its four claws tore at them as it moved.
On the surface, it seemed the black dragon could shred and crush countless demons, but Su Che could see that its size was constantly decreasing, while the demons seemed to grow stronger.
Seemingly, the black dragon had the upper hand, but in reality, it was the opposite—the demons were using the black dragon’s power to strengthen themselves.

Actually, the Dragon Emperor had already tried various methods just now, but none could truly destroy the demonic souls. He could only barely protect himself with this approach. Clearly, if time went on too long and his internal energy was exhausted, it would be the moment the demonic souls took control of him.
“Gradually wearing them down, bit by bit… It seems she used this method to slowly consume those previous Immortal Emperors.”
Su Che had figured it out—these demonic souls were not real souls but a type of power mastered by this ancient demon god. Like countless grinding wheels, they wore down the energy of Immortal Emperor-level warriors bit by bit, turning them into food for these demons.
“Arbitrator, things are bad,” the Dragon Emperor transmitted. “That guy’s power attribute directly counters mine!”
The Dragon Emperor could also see the situation clearly. Although there wasn’t much danger at the moment, if trapped here and unable to die within three or five years, he surely wouldn’t last ten or twenty years either. Eventually, he would be slowly worn to death by them.
It would be like dying from a knife cutting through flesh—a painfully agonizing death.
“It doesn’t just counter you; the power of the demon god inherently suppresses all true immortals,” Su Che replied. “That’s also the main reason for the Heavenly Dao’s punishment of them.”
“I understand!”
The Dragon Emperor certainly knew these principles. He continued, “We must find her core and destroy or subdue it. Otherwise, we’ll never be able to escape and will surely be outmatched. It’s a pity I can’t see anything here. I can only rely on you, Arbitrator. Wherever you point, I’ll strike there!”
After all, the Dragon Emperor was still an Immortal Emperor of the Seventh Heaven. Under these circumstances, he could hold out for a few years, so he wasn’t panicked.
But since his opponent was a far more powerful ancient demon god—whose peak strength, even if not as great as that of an Immortal Lord, was still far beyond that of an Immortal Emperor of the Ninth Heaven—this Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor was no match against such a fundamental force.
This principle could also be seen in great shamans like Tian Yin.
Top-tier shamans like Tian Yin, Juli, and Haogang each controlled a fundamental force of the world. Though they couldn’t rival Immortal Lords, they were far stronger than Immortal Emperors of the Ninth Heaven. To some extent, these top-tier shamans could also be considered the weakest among the ancient demon gods. It was only because the fate of the shaman race still endured and their vitality hadn’t vanished that the Heavenly Dao hadn’t yet punished them.
“Charge forward!”
Under Su Che’s guidance, the Dragon Emperor rushed hundreds of miles straight ahead. With a roar, a giant dragon head appeared and opened its mouth to swallow Ling Xuan.
Crack!
Ling Xuan was crushed in one bite.
“Fake!”

The Dragon Emperor immediately realized that this was just an illusion.
“Illusion?”
Through sound wave detection, Su Che could clearly sense that Ling Xuan’s body was tangible—unexpectingly, it turned out to be fake.
Being inside the other party’s lair, or rather, trapped in the enemy’s personal domain, indeed put one at a disadvantage in every aspect. It wasn’t surprising to be deceived by illusions.
Roar!
Ling Xuan’s figure reappeared hundreds of miles to the left. Guided by Su Che, the Dragon Emperor launched another fierce attack.
Unfortunately, it was still fake.
Continue!
The Dragon Emperor attacked wherever Su Che pointed, acting like a super enforcer.
In terms of attack power, Su Che’s methods were certainly no match for a Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor—assigning this task to him was quite appropriate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
The massive dragon head created powerful gusts of wind within the Demon God’s domain, causing deep fissures in the black ground, each several thousand feet deep. The destructive power was astonishing, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Yet even so, it failed to touch Ling Xuan’s true form, and its whereabouts remained unknown.
Although Su Che and the Dragon Emperor’s actions seemed like a waste of time and futile struggles, Su Che’s real intention wasn’t to find Ling Xuan’s true form—it was…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
At first, it was Ling Xuan guiding Su Che and the Dragon Emperor around, but later, the situation reversed—Su Che and the Dragon Emperor began to drive Ling Xuan’s illusion around chaotically.
Many times, when Ling Xuan’s illusion appeared clearly a hundred miles to the right, Su Che would still order the Dragon Emperor to attack to the left, acting like a blind man firing wildly at random.
Before long, Ling Xuan realized something was wrong. Her illusionary body blocked their path, and she demanded sharply, “What do you want?”
Crack!
The response was the Dragon Emperor’s heavy strike—her illusionary body was shattered by the massive dragon head’s bite.
“Over there!”
Su Che ignored her completely and ordered the Dragon Emperor to attack another direction.
“Dream on!”
Realizing Su Che’s true purpose, Ling Xuan unleashed more demon souls to obstruct them, trying to stop Su Che and the Dragon Emperor or at least disrupt their sense of direction.
However, the power of demon souls couldn’t kill a Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor in a short time; it could only wear him down slowly.
With Chaos Energy protecting him, Su Che and the Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Souls shielding them, they could temporarily ignore the erosion of the demon souls.
Search!

What Su Che was looking for was not Ling Xuan’s true form, but the bones of the demon god. He would first get what he wanted, and deal with the rest later.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Before long, Su Che laughed and said, “Over there!”
Using sound waves to scan, he saw a small hill in the black land from afar. Of course, it wasn’t a real hill—it was a pile of the demon god’s bones.
“I found it!”
Su Che smiled and said, “There are so many! They must be almost complete bones. Ling Xuan, since you’re so polite, then I won’t be polite either!”
He rushed forward to plunder the bones!
