《Ancient God (Ancient Love Poetry)》Chapter 14: Surrender
Advertisement
A majestic black figure slowly walked out of Chongzi Palace. The person had a tall and upright posture, a firm face, and the demeanor of an emperor. The entire square was quiet as soon as he appeared, and even Feng Ran, who was high up in the sky, narrowed her eyes slightly, her hands behind her back tightening unconsciously.
The Demon Emperor Sen Jian was worthy of being the most powerful one for thousands of years. She could only forcefully calm down her body under the aura filled with anger and prestige, and could even feel some vague heart palpitations coming from him. She had only encountered this with God Gu Jun, but it was obvious that Sen Jian had not reached God Gu Jun’s level of power yet.
Everyone looked at the Demon Emperor who slowly walked out of Chongzi Palace with respectful expressions. They stepped back orderly and bowed in unison. Because there were too many demon lords around, no one saw the black figure in the crowd that had never moved.
In the Three Realms, in terms of nobility, no one could match the three gods from the ancient world and the precious little godddess of Qingchi Palace, but if it came to power, besides the Heavenly Emperor, there was no one in the Three Realms and Nine Continents who was more powerful than the one in front of them.
The Demon Emperor had already been in retreat for thousands of years and had long been silent about world affairs. It was unexpected that he would appear because of a past event. Everyone silently glanced at High Deity Feng Ran, who was hanging in the air, and sighed inside. The Third Highness died tragically in Feng Ran’s hands. It was okay that Feng Ran stayed dormant in Qingchi Palace, but she actually dared to break into the Third Heaven this time and even severely injured the Second Highness. She would probably find it difficult leaving here standing upright!
The Demon Emperor’s power had long surpassed the peak of a demon lord’s power and was unfathomable. Besides those three gods, no one in the Three Realms was his opponent.
“I wouldn’t call it forgiveness for your inability to welcome me, but I never expected that in such a noble clan, there would be such a despicable person.” Feng Ran put away the phoenix weapon behind her back, and slowly landed on the open space where the battle had taken place. After raising her hand towards the Demon Emperor, her eyes suddenly swept towards the little fox in Sen Yu’s arms. Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised with an indifferent and disdainful expression.
The crowd was stunned. Feng Ran’s words were right. A few thousand years ago, Sen Yu promised to marry the little fox Qing Li. She could be regarded as a member of the Demon Emperor’s family, but everyone didn’t think that Feng Ran would still provoke the Demon Emperor under such circumstances. Their eyes staring at her were filled with astonishment for a while.
This Lord Feng Ran really lived up to her name of madness!
The Demon Emperor lowered his eyes, looking at Qing Li shivering in Sen Yu’s arms. He frowned and coldly said, “Qing Li attacked from behind, and that is truly cheating. She will be locked up for one month as punishment.”
Sen Yu felt the little fox in his hands shudder violently. He resisted the embarrassment on his face and quickly said, “Royal Father, Qing Li did this…” He was halfway through his words when he slowly stopped under the Demon Emperor’s condensing gaze. He knew that if he continued his words, Qing Li’s punishment would be even more severe.

However, he did not see that after he pleaded for Qing Li, Chang Qin’s hands hanging beside her legs were silently clenched, and she gently closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the remaining struggle and hesitation in her eyes had subsided.
Only after a few breaths of time, Chang Qin, who stood quietly behind Feng Ran, made a silent change. The thin streak of light in her eyes slowly passed, and the entire person seemed to be struck by a faint sense of elegance. She was as warm and smooth as jade, quiet and fragrant.
“Oh, His Majesty the Demon Emperor is really fair and strict. The punishment is merciless!” Feng Ran curled her lips, loosened her wrists, and let her body that was completely strained under the Demon Emperor’s pressure rest for a moment.
“Feng Ran, there is no need for those words. Ten thousand years ago, Sen Xing died in your hands because he was inferior to you. I once promised l God Gu Jun that I would not take your life in the Immortal Realm, and I naturally won’t break my promise.” The Demon Emperor looked at Feng Ran lightly, a faint fluctuation of light flashing across his eyes.
His young son was only ten thousand years old. Thinking of this, a cold, murderous aura slowly escaped from the Demon Emperor, spreading out.
Feng Ran raised her eyebrows without making a sound, her fists condensing with spiritual power. She didn’t believe that the Demon Emperor would let go of her easily. The Demon Emperor’s murderous aura had never left her a single bit.
“However, since you dare to be so rampant and have come to the Demon Realm, if I still allow you to leave unscathed, I shouldn’t be called the leader of this realm.”
The Demon Emperor held one hand behind him, his other hand stretching out his fingers. After only a few breaths worth of time, the deep purple demon power condensed into a huge halo in his hand, and the subtle light flashing covering it flashed brilliantly.
The Demon Emperor’s move was the same as Feng Ran’s as they both condensed their spiritual power in their hands. It was only that his power was stronger. As soon as he shot it out, it shocked everyone, and the subtle sounds of lightning and thunder slowly moved in a burst of exclamation, surrounding the entire square, forming an unpredictable thunder and lightning scene.
Feng Ran narrowed her eyes, staring at the growing purple halo in the Demon Emperor’s hand. A solemn expression flashed by, and the blood-red spiritual power formed a thin barrier in front of her–The little fox’s secret attack wasn’t exactly harmless to her. She was at an even bigger disadvantage in front of the Demon Emperor.
“Your Majesty!”
The elegant voice suddenly sounded as everyone was holding their breaths. Chang Qin stepped forward, glanced at Feng Ran with a complicated expression, and immediately bowed to the Demon Emperor, saying, “Your Majesty, Lord Feng Ran has already had a big battle with Second Highness, as well as took in Qing Li’s secret attack. If you fight against her at this time, with your prestige and power, the Demon Realm will surely be laughed at by the immortals of the Immortal Realm.”
She had ceased her status as the commander of the Three Armies a few thousand years ago, so she didn’t need to kneel down to the Demon Emperor.
However, with these slow words, everyone saw Demon Deity Chang Qin’s outstanding posture. Under her cool and heroic posture, it was a completely different style from Feng Ran’s. This Demon Lord Chang Qin had an appearance that they had not seen for many years, and the strong demon power on her body was even stronger than before as if she broke through some bottles!

Sen Yu, who was standing to the side, looked at Chang Qin, who had suddenly walked out. He was startled, and after hearing her unwavering ‘Second Highness’, his face turned white, his eyes flashing with incredible astonishment and pain!
The purple halo in the Demon Emperor’s hand slightly flashed. He raised his eyes to look at Chang Qin, who was standing not far away. His eyebrows had some space to them, and the emperor softened a bit, “Chang Qin, don’t interfere in this matter. After I leave my retreatment, you can leave the Third Heaven safely.”
Chang Qin shook her head and stood up straighter, “Your Majesty, although Lord Feng Ran is an enemy of the Demon Realm, she has a big grace towards me. I am not an ungrateful person, and I ask for Your Majesty to be merciful.”
Chang Qin lowered her head, showing a pleading gesture.
The Demon Emperor frowned. He stared at Chang Qin for a while and finally sighed under her stubborn attitude, “Back in the day, I once promised you that if you ask for something someday, I will definitely agree. These years, you have been stuck in the Third Heaven. I thought that you would open your mouth about it, but I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn. Now, you are wasting my promise for you for Feng Ran, have you thought clearly about this?”
Under the words of the Demon Emperor, everyone had expressions of disbelief. They didn’t know that the Demon Emperor had this kind of promise, and they didn’t understand why Chang Qin didn’t use it to leave the Third Heavens all these years. Now, she was using it for Feng Ran.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
As Chang QIn solemnly nodded and bowed, Feng Ran was also startled. She raised her eyes to Chang Qin, who was at the side with invisible warmth in her eyes. She didn’t make a mistake. Chang Qin deserves all her praise and nobility!
“There’s no need. Demon Emperor, if you can keep me here, I might as well be a guest in the Demon Realm!” Feng Ran waved her hand at Chang Qin, the arrogance in her eyes increasing.
The Demon Emperor’s eyes dazzled. He looked at the arrogant Feng Ran, gave a cold snort, and lightly waved his hands behind his back. Before everyone could react, a lavender halo slowly engulfed Chang Qin, and Chang Qin was pushed by a few steps by the purple light. She was unable to move, and a look of anxiety appeared on her face.
“I promise you that I will leave her alive, rest assured.” A slightly majestic voice sounded, and the purple demon light that was condensed in the Demon Emperor’s hand suddenly burst out with dazzling brilliance, which was particularly astonishing.
“Feng Ran, after receiving this punch, whether you’ll live or die, the Demon World will never pursue you after Sen Xing’s death!”
Accompanied by a cold cough, a surging demon power overflowed from the purple light, pressing down on Feng Ran like a mighty sword. In the radiant brilliance, countless thunder sounded, and even the Third Heaven’s enchantment seemed to be awakened by this, and thousands of lights smashed down on Feng Ran at the same time.
This force was no weaker than the thunder punishment up in the Nine Heavens. Such a formation, such a tyrannical strength was difficult for the Demon Realm to find for thousands of years! Everyone in the square seemed to be taken aback by this violent blow.
With a loud sound, the purple light pressing down like Mount Tai [1] broke through the protective barrier in front of Feng Ran and slashed towards Feng Ran without mercy. As everyone exclaimed, the explosion stopped, as well as the vast sea of light, falling on the tip of Feng Ran’s nose.
Silent as death, a burst of subtle golden power suddenly appeared in front of Feng Ran as if it were alive, flowing slowly. Slowly, the golden light lit into a flame, eating away the purple power bit by bit, and finally surged towards the Demon Emperor’s direction.
The ‘hissing’ sound continued, and the entire square was quiet. Everyone looked at the golden flames that swallowed the purple light as if it were playing a game, and it was difficult to close their open mouths. Even the Demon Emperor was swimming in the golden flames. His face slowly sank as he stared coldly at the mysterious golden light, his eyebrows stern.
He wanted to see if this golden light could suppress his demon power, whether it could break apart the demon essence!
As for Feng Ran, who had just escaped a catastrophe, raised her eyebrows in surprise. She looked at the familiar golden power, scanned thoughtfully around the crowd behind her, and a smile flashed across her eyes. These two guys had arrived.
The long and strange suffocation when the chasing golden light swallowed everything between the Demon Emperor and Feng Ran. Just when everyone was pressing down on the bottom of their hearts and only half of their pressure was relieved, suddenly–flowing slowly, the almost transparent golden light changed into a rich golden color, turning into a beam of light rising into the sky to annihilate all the purple thunder and lightning that filled the sky above the square. The power from the beam of light was so powerful that even the Third Heaven’s protective barrier started to shake under this destructive strength.
Even the people in the square slightly trembled because they couldn’t resist the aftermath of the power. Many people had to use their powers to barely resist the instinct to surrender to the golden light!
Looking at the growing golden beam of light, the Demon Emperor finally lowered his eyes. He quickly waved his arms, muttering silently. The purple power chased the golden light but was forcibly pushed away by the strong shock. If one looked carefully, one would see that the purple light would unconsciously tremble when it approached the golden light, with even fear of surrendering.
Others did not notice, but the Demon Emperor could faintly feel it. He turned and looked into the square. Although his eyes were calm, he could not suppress the fear inside of him. He was the noble leader of this realm, and there were very few people in the Three Realms in which he had to surrender to, but this golden light did not give off the aura of those three high gods, could it be that person…who completely extinguished the purple flames at the Gate of Life and Death?
No matter what, this case must be reported to Ziyue Mountain as soon as possible.
A crisp sound sounded, and it felt as if the golden light was cutting through the entire barrier of the Third Heaven. The Demon Emperor was suddenly terrified, his face changing drastically, and he yelled again. The purple light in his hand was flourishing, and he was just prepared to exert all his power when the golden light suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a broken purple enchantment and a demon deity who collapsed to the ground because of the sudden strength!
Looking at the pale-faced Demon Emperor, everyone looked at each other. The panic in their eyes could not be suppressed. There was such a terrifying power in this world…
With this blow, the entire Third Heaven was a mess. The Demon Emperor raised his eyes to look straight at the black robe standing quietly among the crowd, and said, “Who exactly are you?”
