9924. Chapter 9924: Exploring the Ghost Pond 9

"Fortunately... Fortunately..." He muttered to himself. At the beginning, he teamed up with Ling Xuejiu to steal something from Yan Yun. That thing cost Yan Yun a lot of painstaking efforts. Yan Yun once mentioned to him that it was the power transformed from his blood essence every year, and every drop of essence condensed his purest life force. In order to gather enough blood essence, he has spent thousands of years, but it is still not enough.

Just now at the critical moment, it was that power that helped him successfully escape and kill the giant. However, because the life force contained in it was too strong, his body could not bear it. The life force flowed freely in his body. Although it cured his injuries, it eroded his consciousness and made him lose his mind in a short time.

Looking at the miserable state of the giant beside him, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. As a demon emperor, he has never been so scared since he came to this day step by step. Even when facing Yan Yun, he has never felt this way. He was afraid that his hard work would go to waste and that his efforts would not be rewarded.

No one is not afraid, but some people know how to endure and bury all their emotions deep in their hearts, making them untouchable. He used to be such a person, always keeping an unchanging indifference on his face, and never showing his inner thoughts to others.

In his eyes, as a superior, he should maintain the dignity of a superior. If he easily shows his emotions, what is the difference between him and ordinary people. He doesn't want to be an ordinary person, he wants to be above others.

For a long time, in the eyes of everyone, he has an ambition that cannot be satisfied. However, who knows that his ambition is not for this world. From beginning to end, this world has not been taken seriously by him. For him, this is just a game. In the long years, you always have to find some fun, otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring.

In his heart, what he really pursues is the supreme existence. As early as when he was in the foreign cultivation world, an idea came to his mind. The cultivators rule over mortals, and the immortals rule over the cultivators.

So, is there a higher existence above the immortals? This question has always lingered in his heart. Until later, when he entered the fairy world, that thought became stronger. Through various experiences, he finally confirmed his conjecture. There is indeed a higher existence above the immortals. And that is exactly the goal he has been pursuing. The master is the peak he wants to reach all his life.

Unfortunately, reality is always so cruel. He spent his whole life pursuing but got nothing. And his opponent... Leng Xuan, unexpectedly became the master by accident. As the saying goes, things are unpredictable. He never thought that he would lose to Leng Xuan, to a person he could kill with one hand.

So what if he is the demon emperor, and so what if he is the Hunyuan emperor who dominated the world back then. He has always been high above, but he has become Yan Yun's subordinate, letting the other party use him, not daring to complain, for fear that the other party will be angry and end his life. It's not that he has no hatred and resentment, but he has never shown it, but buried it deep in his heart. No matter how strong and terrifying he was before, he is still a human being after all, and he still has seven emotions and six desires, and he knows fear.
