Chapter 923: Slaying the Demon Emperor!

In the deepest part of the Heavenly Execution Pit, a handsome man in black robes suddenly opened his eyes, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, looking into the endless distance.

On his expressionless face, there was an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Forget it. I am at a critical juncture; let him handle this matter!"

With that, the black-robed man slowly closed his eyes again, and a surging killing intent spread around him.

…

Watching that divine thought dissolve into nothingness, Ye Yuan also furrowed his brows slightly.

If just a single divine thought possessed such power, how strong must the original body be?

Only he, Ye Yuan, could have removed the divine thought so effortlessly; anyone else would have found it impossible.

"That guy's strength is becoming more and more unfathomable!"

Ye Yuan sighed softly, and his soul power receded like a tide, returning to his own spirit.

At this moment, Siyin's body had returned to its graceful form. She looked at Ye Yuan with tender eyes, her gratitude beyond words.

She was still leaning in Ye Yuan's arms, their posture indescribably ambiguous. She quickly straightened up and was about to thank Ye Yuan when her body suddenly stiffened, feeling a prickling sensation on her back.

Ye Yuan chuckled lightly: "Don't mind him. He's busy reclaiming the killing intent right now; how could he have time to bother with you?"

Without looking, he knew that You Sha must have sensed something and swept his gaze over.

But as Ye Yuan said, he was now occupied with digesting the reclaimed killing intent and had no attention to spare.

"Puff, puff, puff…"

The bodies of the others exploded one by one, and You Sha's aura grew increasingly terrifying.

Soon, the Demon Emperors were all killed off just like that.

However, You Sha showed no sign of stopping; now it was the turn of the Venerables.

A miserable scream rang out as the first Venerable who had been demonized exploded directly.

Lie Huo's face showed despair; his body had swollen into a big balloon, on the verge of bursting.

He had never imagined that the one to kill him in the end would be Venerable You Sha!

"Ye… Ye Yuan, save me! I… I know you can save me! If you save me, I'll do anything!" Lie Huo roared at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan looked at Lie Huo leisurely and smiled: "Save you? You've tried to kill me time and again, and you still want me to save you? You're dreaming!"

Lie Huo knelt down with a thud and said to Ye Yuan: "Please… please! I was blind and deserve to die! I swear to the heavens, I won't do it again! Please, save…"

With a "puff," the arrogant Lie Huo exploded into a pulp of flesh.

Seeing this, Siyin's heart pounded with fear.

Over the past ten years, she had schemed against Lie Huo and the others, and now seeing him die like this before her eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for their kind.

"Why… why is this happening? I've never heard of such a thing happening in the Shura Sea! Who exactly is Venerable You Sha?" Siyin murmured.

She was now full of doubts, completely unable to understand what was happening before her eyes.

Ye Yuan, however, smiled and said: "Do you know why every time someone enters the Heavenly Execution Pit, a Venerable dies? Isn't the turnover rate of Venerables a bit too fast?"

Hearing this, Siyin was startled and blurted out: "Do you mean… they were all killed by You Sha?"

Ye Yuan shook his head: "Not necessarily, but how they died isn't important. What matters is that after their death, the killing intent inevitably returns to You Sha."

Siyin gasped in shock. So, were they all just containers for You Sha to store and cultivate killing intent?

At that moment, the massive vortex finally came to a halt, and You Sha slowly descended.

You Sha was now a completely different person from before, having undergone a tremendous change in both strength and demeanor.

Previously, You Sha only seemed more seasoned than the other Venerables. But now, he exuded a kingly aura that made it hard to look directly at him.

To Siyin's surprise, besides him, two other Venerables remained unharmed.

One was Venerable Leng Xue, and the other was Venerable Tian Dang, who had been in cahoots with Lie Huo.

You Sha's gaze coldly swept over the group of Demon Emperors, his eyes filled with contempt: "Will you do it yourselves, or shall I send you on your way?"

The Demon Emperors had just obtained physical bodies, only to have them destroyed by this man, which infuriated them.

But as demons, they were not afraid of humans.

"Ridiculous! Do you think that just because you destroyed our physical bodies, you can defeat us? Are you, having killed your own men, a match for all of us now?" a Demon Emperor sneered.

You Sha snorted coldly: "Stubborn fools. It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Without any visible movement from You Sha, with a "clang," his sword was instantly drawn, its fierce killing intent almost blinding the eyes!

"Ultimate Sword Kill!" Seeing You Sha's sword strike, even Ye Yuan showed a hint of surprise.

This move was none other than the second layer of the "Killing Sword Art" that Ye Yuan had obtained from the Shura Shop—Ultimate Sword Kill!

However, when executed by You Sha, this move was far more powerful than when Ye Yuan used it!

Having absorbed the killing intent of eight Venerables and numerous Kill Generals, the terror of this supreme true intent was unimaginable.

"Ssshhh…"

Wherever the long sword passed, it swept away everything, bringing forth a chorus of screams.

With a single strike, the auras of all the Demon Emperors plummeted. Though not instantly killed, they were clearly severely injured.

Although the demons were strong, they were not immortal. When they sustained enough damage, they could still die.

Those demonic shadows screamed in agony, clearly not expecting You Sha to be so powerful.

"Run! Quickly! This guy is too strong; in our current state, we're no match for him!"

Someone shouted, and all the Demon Emperors turned to flee.

You Sha sneered coldly and said flatly: "Flee? As if it's that easy!"

With that, You Sha executed another Ultimate Sword Kill!

This time, the killing intent was even stronger than before!

At the same time, a strange force descended abruptly, freezing all the Demon Emperors in place for a split second.

That split second cost them their lives!

"Ah…!"

A chorus of screams rang out, but the cries grew fainter and eventually ceased altogether.

The Demon Emperors, who had once dominated the ancient era, were thus slain by the combined efforts of You Sha and Ye Yuan!

Of course, if they had been at their peak, You Sha would have been lucky to escape, let alone kill them.

But they had been suppressed for a hundred thousand years and were already at the end of their strength.

Having slain the Demon Emperors, You Sha showed neither joy nor sorrow, and his gaze swept toward Ye Yuan.
