The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 349: Chapter 290: The New Demon Dragon Emperor

Although Lynn wasn’t as angry as Akelie, he felt he had been deceived upon reflection.

Leaving aside whether the Light God King was truly gone, just the way he spoke was questionable. How could the Light God King and the Destruction Demon God and Guardian Demon God all perish together? I just received blessings from the latter two!

These words were clearly misleading from the start, and looking at Akelie’s attitude, it seemed even more fake.

"Can you handle everything that follows here? I have urgent matters to attend to on the Divine Protection Continent. Arrange for a few Space System Holy Mages to go with me to restart the space channel."

So both Lynn and Akelie treated Rodman’s last words as provocation, at least on the surface, while what they truly thought in their hearts was known only to themselves.

"I will lead the army to wipe out the remaining War Divine Hall remnants, although the main legion isn’t here, the strength of the Light Empire and Church Court is still formidable, not to mention I’ve grown even stronger."

From Lynn’s hurried return and Rodman’s former arrogance, Akelie could guess that the situation on the Divine Protection Continent wasn’t very optimistic. He naturally wouldn’t let minor lingering issues delay Lynn.

"I trust with your handling. Alright, I’m really busy, I’ll be off now."

The aim of returning to the Divine Protection Continent was accomplished from the start, and Lynn helped Akelie clear inner traitors on the continent. Fortunately, this bombarding war ended quickly; otherwise, he feared it might drag on for days.

When he arrived, he was worried about how to forcibly claim the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact from the War Divine Hall, couldn’t really trade benefits with them, could he? That would certainly displease him.

Luckily, the War Divine Hall understood, not only did they rebel, but also presented the entire Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact to suppress Akelie, which saved him a lot of trouble.

With everything well-handled, Lynn took Akelie and gathered the few Space System Holy Mages scraped together from the Light Empire and set off together.

There’s no need to mention the journey to the border between two continents, but upon arriving, the accompanying Space System Holy Mages carefully examined the situation. Based on the extent of damage to the space channel and their limited manpower, it might take more than five days to complete the repair.

Lynn certainly couldn’t wait for five days. Since there were already anomalies on the Divine Protection Continent, he believed problems might arise on the seemingly stable Divine Protection Continent as well. Waiting was not an option.

Thus, Lynn resorted to old tricks, forcefully tearing through space to cross over, shocking the jaws of the Holy Mages. Though they had seen space structure being destroyed, they had never witnessed someone tearing it with their hands.

Moreover, he was going to withstand the turbulent space storm with his body, forcibly crossing to another continent. Such terrifying power... akin to a Deity?

"Lord Lynn, you’ve torn the space between the two continents, completing much of the process for us. We might be able to establish connection in three days."

As Lynn forcefully crossed the space storm, he heard voices from behind, which wasn’t a bad piece of news.

Moments later, having forcibly crossed continents, Lynn returned to the Divine Protection Continent.

He didn’t know how far the United Army on the Divine Protection Continent had advanced after he left, but such clearing operations weren’t his task, they could be handed to others.

He just needed to quickly complete his transaction with the Demon Race, reclaim the Divine Abandonment Continent, and obtain the last component of the Saint Emperor’s Divine Artifact Set.

Thinking of this, Lynn immediately sped forward, heading toward the battlefield.

When he reached the area of the Snow Mountains, the United Army from the Divine Protection Continent had long departed. However, they hadn’t pursued directly but took a detour.

There’s no choice; the residual power of the frozen terrain was still present, and charging straight through was unbearable for anyone. Although taking a detour was more troublesome, tracking the paths left by the Demon King’s wives meant the demon remnants couldn’t escape.

Lynn himself wasn’t bothered by the frozen landscape’s damage; he advanced straight, possibly even arriving before the Divine Protection Continent’s United Army to break through the Snow Mountains.

As expected, when Lynn flew to the edge of the Snow Mountains, the United Army hadn’t reached here.

Perhaps some demons decided on a desperate fight and actively counterattacked the United Army, causing delays in their pursuit.

With the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact in hand and himself in the Divine Protection Continent, Lynn wasn’t in a particular hurry. Seeing neither the United Army nor the Demon Race, he decided to pull out the Demon Mirror to contact the Demon Realm.

Previously, from Ilya’s hints, their Demon Mirror appeared to be taken by Victor, so he couldn’t coordinate with them in person. However, in the absence of anyone or demons, he could at least prepare for the second transaction.

"Ilya, this Emperor will soon return, have Phantom ready to attend to me at the Demon Emperor Palace."

Despite knowing the Demon King’s wives’ Demon Mirrors were seized by Victor, Lynn still notified "Ilya" in a commanding tone to prepare for attendance.

He crafted this message following the specific information conveyed by Ilya when confronting him. Meanwhile, Illidan was traveling the outside world and hadn’t returned, and the transaction-acquired Demon Emperor Artifact Set would be handed over to him, so it was time for his return.
