Chaotic Spacetime!
The moment Xiang Shaoyun attacked, he held nothing back. With a swing of the Divine Yin Yang Sword, a slash rippled out and threw space and time into disorder, causing everyone to blank out momentarily.
The diabolic dragon was concentrating on fighting the emperor emeritus and could not afford to pay attention to his surroundings. He only sensed Xiang Shaoyun after Xiang Shaoyun had attacked, but that was too late. The chaos of space and time wasn’t something anyone could resist. Even as an eighth-stage Devil God, the diabolic dragon wasn’t immune to the power of time.
The sword ray sliced into the evil clouds and reached the diabolic dragon’s body. The domineering slash cut through even the diabolic dragon’s scales and sent the sword energy into his body, causing him to wail in pain. The concentrated evil clouds around him started loosening.
The emperor emeritus did not know what had happened, but he knew that this was his perfect chance to counterattack. If he missed this chance, it might not return.
Dusk Revolution!
He put everything he had into the attack as he rapidly formed hand signs with his hands around the Divine Dusk Truncheon. A terrifying ball of flame manifested, and instantly, a setting sun appeared in the sky. It dropped down upon the injured diabolic dragon.
The setting sun carried an extreme level of power. Even a regular ninth-stage God would not dare to easily take the attack head on. The terrifying flame power could burn others with a mere touch.
As the sun pressed down upon the diabolic dragon, the evil clouds were burned into nothingness. The diabolic dragon was unwilling to accept his defeat just like that. Thus, he spat out the Diabolic Dragon Curse in an attempt to contend against the setting sun. At the same time, he swept his tail toward Xiang Shaoyun.
The desperate counterattack was extremely domineering. Xiang Shaoyun could sense the power behind the tail swipe, and he did not dare to take the attack head on. He hurriedly moved away at the fastest speed he could and swung his sword repeatedly, unleashing even more time attacks at the diabolic dragon.
The emperor emeritus’s full-powered attack was not something one could take lightly. As the diabolic dragon was already injured, his curse seemed lacking when the setting sun blasted it apart. Boundless flame power descended and swallowed the dragon. The only thing the diabolic dragon could do was enter his strongest defensive mode and protect his life.
Rumble! Rumble!
Explosion after explosion erupted, and numerous shockwaves spread out far. Finally, the attacks became too much for the diabolic dragon, and he started focusing on escaping.
“Just you wait! I will repay you for this!” roared the diabolic dragon indignantly.
Not even the emperor emeritus could stop this diabolic dragon if the diabolic dragon set his mind to escaping. He and Xiang Shaoyun could only watch as the diabolic dragon left. But fortunately, this battle had not been fought for nothing. At the very least, it was guaranteed that this diabolic dragon, in particular, would need a considerable amount of time before he could return to his peak condition.
Only then did Xiang Shaoyun’s soul clone reveal itself.
When the emperor emeritus saw Xiang Shaoyun, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s you, young friend? Looking at how you fight, this old man feels ashamed of myself.”

Without Xiang Shaoyun’s sneak attack on the diabolic dragon, the emperor emeritus would have probably had a hard time forcing the diabolic dragon to retreat.
“You’re too kind, lord. I was merely successful due to some tricks I have. If I had joined the battle head on, I would have died the moment it began,” said Xiang Shaoyun humbly.
“We’ll talk later. Let’s get rid of the rest of the devils here,” said the emperor emeritus before charging toward the other devils.
Xiang Shaoyun’s main body had long joined the battle against the other devils. He held nothing back as he trapped two Devil Gods in his Imperial Nether Domain before killing them inside it.
The Imperial Nether Clan was able to become one of the paramount devil clans due to their powerful innate ability. Regular devils were nothing compared to them. Xiang Shaoyun owned the strongest bloodline power of the Imperial Nether Clan, granting him an incredibly high level of talent in terms of combat.
With the diabolic dragon’s retreat, the other Devil Gods lost the courage to stay. They fled as quickly as they could. The emperor emeritus and Huang Baiwu greatly loathed the devils, so they were able to kill two Devil Gods before they could escape.
They wasted no time and rushed toward the imperial palace and started killing all the devils there as well. Without the protection of the Devil Gods, these devils could be defeated easily.
Finally, the emperor emeritus and Huang Baiwu retook the Imperial Dusk Palace. Unfortunately, the palace was badly damaged and was not even fit for housing anyone anymore.
“Without fully eliminating the devils, we won’t be able to rebuild the palace,” said the emperor emeritus with a sigh.
“Don’t worry, Emperor Emeritus. We still have survivors in the imperial clan. We can try to help them grow as fast as they can,” said Huang Baiwu.
“This disaster to our Dusk Dynasty is merely the start of the chaotic times to come. Perhaps we need to make some choices if we want a chance to rebuild in the future,” said the emperor emeritus. “Baiwu, you are the most talented member of our dynasty in the last 10,000 years. You should also be the one shouldering the burden of rebuilding the dynasty. However, the devils are too strong. It will be very hard for us to find a chance to rebuild. I wish to change the trajectory of your path. Only then will our imperial clan perhaps have the chance to continue existing.”
“Emperor emeritus, I’ll do anything you need me to,” said Huang Baiwu solemnly.
The emperor emeritus had the highest status in the Dusk Dynasty. He was also the one responsible for the kingdom’s past golden age. Because of that, Huang Baiwu held this emperor emeritus in extremely high esteem.
“The Guardians Guild is picking their young guild master. You are no longer qualified to fight for it. In that case, you should follow the young guild master. If you can become the young guild master’s trusted aide, you will gain the ability to help the young of our clan rise again in the future,” said the emperor emeritus with a sigh.
For people at their level, submitting to someone else was an extremely difficult feat, especially for a genius like Huang Baiwu.
After giving it some thought, Huang Baiwu said, “Emperor Emeritus, the young guild master will only be selected after another three years pass. Even if I want to follow him, I won’t know where to start.”
“Hehe. Countless geniuses are rising all over the dominion. Who among them do you think has the highest chance of winning the position?” asked the emperor emeritus with a smile.
“Naturally, the candidates of the two deputy guild masters naturally have a high chance. They had grown up living a life of glory that could give even me a sense of inferiority. There are also the three strongest successors. Each of them is a giant among men. There are also many emerging geniuses. As far as I’m concerned, the successors of the two deputy guild masters have the highest chance of winning the position,” said Huang Baiwu. He then sighed and said, “I have no way to approach them. Besides, they might not even care much for me.”
“Oh, Baiwu, you might be good at cultivating, but your vision is too narrow. The person with the highest chance of winning the position is someone right at our side!” said the emperor emeritus with a sigh.
