Chapter 1288 - 516: Why Should the Dark Emperor Fear the Holy See?

"Hmph, Zhang Beixing, I’d like to see how long you can remain arrogant!"

The cold laughter of the Red Demon echoed in the empty great hall.

It was as if a demon from the depths of hell was brewing a bloody storm.

He knew that as long as he used that forbidden secret technique, he could surely turn the tide and make Zhang Beixing taste defeat.

By then, the entire world would bow at the feet of the Demon Race, with no one able to resist!

Meanwhile, unaware of the Demon Race’s scheming, Zhang Beixing and his companions had returned triumphantly.

"Master is wise and powerful, having slain the Demon King and obtained the Soul Devourer, he will surely unite the world!"

Richard shouted excitedly, his eyes glowing with fervor.

Having followed Zhang Beixing in battles for many years, he had never seen this formidable side of the Master.

Such an imposing magnificence, dominating the world, truly made one’s heart tremble.

"Richard, this is just the beginning."

Zhang Beixing’s lips curled up slightly, his tone resolute.

"Next, I will make the entire world bow in submission!"

"Those who defy, will be killed without mercy!"

His words were firm and resounding, shocking everyone present.

What kind of bloody storm was this man about to unleash?

"Master, the Holy See and the Demon Race are unlikely to give up easily."

Alina said softly, a trace of worry on her brow.

As the Princess of the Vampire clan, she was well aware of the horror of those two forces.

Especially the Holy See, who always prided themselves on "justice", hated the Alien Race to the core.

"It doesn’t matter, with me here, how could I fear them?"

Zhang Beixing let out a cold laugh, his eyes ablaze with battle intent.

"Coming back from the Northern Forbidden Land, I realized how great my potential is."

"If the Holy See dares to invade, I will make sure they never return!"

[Host, you must not let your guard down.]

The voice of the Persuasion System resounded again, earnest and heartfelt.

[As far as I know, the Holy See has a trump card called "Holy Light Judgment."]

[If struck by that light, I fear even you might not escape unscathed...]

"What? They have such a method?"

Alina and Richard were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Could it be that the Emperor of the Dark Empire still had opponents?

"No matter, if they dare to be presumptuous, I will show them that there’s always someone stronger, a sky beyond the sky!"

Zhang Beixing was calm, as if he had everything under control.

He waved his hand, and a pitch-black token floated in mid-air.

That was the "Soul Devourer", containing endless power.

"With it, and the system, what is there to fear?"

"This world will be mine sooner or later!"

Zhang Beixing’s words were imposing and unmatched.

It was as if he was declaring to the heavens, this era now bore the surname Zhang!

"Reporting to Master, the Holy See’s army is pressing forward, encamped not far outside the Imperial City!"

At this moment, a scout rushed into the great hall frantically, stumbling and falling to their knees.

"Their numbers are great, around a hundred thousand, fully armed and brimming with murderous intent!"

With those words, the hall was in an uproar.

"What? The Holy See dares to be so arrogant, to come directly to us?"

"They mean to fight our Dark Empire to the death!"

"Master, the situation is urgent, how should we respond?"

All the generals exclaimed, worry written across their faces.

After all, the Holy See possessed formidable power, not something they could provoke lightly.

"Everyone, do not panic."

Zhang Beixing smiled serenely, unhurried.

"The Holy See is nothing more than a paper tiger, looking fierce but unable to withstand a poke."

"Moreover, with the Soul Devourer and system, should I fear them?"

His words exuded a confidence that looked down on the world.

The generals, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel their spirits surge, empowerment sweeping over them.

"Master is wise! We pledge our lives to fight for you to the death!"

"Indeed, with Master leading us, what do we have to fear?"

"We swear to follow Master to blood-wash the Holy See, to glorify our Dark Empire!"

The great hall was filled with thunderous fierce cries, blood boiling.

Everyone was eager to rush to the battlefield and unleash havoc.

"Good! Go prepare at once, there’s no time like the present!"

Zhang Beixing shouted decisively, fiercely imposing.

"I will make those self-proclaimed righteous hypocrites taste the flavor of darkness!"

"Alina, Richard, join me in the expedition!"

"Yes, Master!"

The Vampire Princess and the loyal entourage replied in unison.

Their eyes were full of unwavering determination.

[Host, handle with care.]

The Persuasion System whispered a heavy reminder.

[I feel the Holy See’s intention is far from what it seems on the surface...]

Zhang Beixing smiled knowingly, confident.

"Don’t worry, with you by my side, who can stand against us?"

"In this battle, I will leave them without a single survivor, as a warning to others!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeve and led the grand army, mightily marching towards outside the Imperial City.

Behind him was an army of thousands, each ready to die.

This battle was destined to go down in history, to be remembered forever!

On a plain thirty miles outside the Imperial City, the Holy See army was already in full combat readiness.

At a glance, white garments were like snow; holy artifacts magnificent.

Each face was full of murderous intent.

"Hmph, mere heretics dare to act presumptuously in front of the Holy See?"

The Archbishop in the lead laughed coldly, gaze disdainful.

"I’d like to see what divine skills he has!"

"Your Excellency the Bishop, I dare to ask..."

A priest opened nervously, voice trembling.

"Is that Zhang Beixing really as formidable as rumored? Is it worth such a grand mobilization for us?"

"Fool, what do you know!"
