Reks was struck by Hao Tian's outstretched palm, launching him into the air with no control at all. Hao Tian stood up from his seat, clenched his fists, and said, "Excellent—this move, the Supreme Path of Infinite Unity, is truly masterful. Indeed, my disciple. The opponent is finished." Indeed, Reks fell like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground, his entire body shattered into a pulp. As the celestial court's stands erupted in cheers, the demonic side remained silent—no one believed that the foremost master of the Demon Realm could have fallen at the hands of a relatively unknown deity. The Demon Emperor's face grew increasingly pale, his body trembling uncontrollably. For a long time, he had believed the Demon Realm to be on par with the Celestial Court. Now, even his own foremost disciple, second only to himself in strength, had perished. The deity who killed Léx was only a few months into his ascension. Even if I manage to defeat him, there are still three utterly eccentric beings in heaven... no, four—Queen Wang, the wife of the Jade Emperor, is also a powerful Saint-level deity. On the heavenly court, the female attendants cheer wildly, confirming that their husband is truly the best. Qin has exhausted his final drop of spiritual energy, yet he remains upright on the platform, slowly raising his right hand to join everyone in celebrating victory. Man, defeating Léx wasn't easy at all. I've put in so much effort—unless the Jade Emperor gives me something substantial, I'll never stop demanding more. The Demon King is furious. He truly wants to charge up and kill Qin Feng to avenge his nephew, but his sense of reason soon overcomes his impulse. After all, with the Jade Emperor and the Emperor of the Heavens both firmly established as powerful forces, any direct confrontation would likely leave him at a disadvantage, and he might even be defeated by their combined strength. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you all standing there for? Go get Rex's body and carry him to the pavilion." Several royal magical beings at his side hurried over, carefully placing Rex's body—most of whose bones had been crushed into fragments, with only a few pieces remaining over an inch long—onto a stretcher. The Jade Emperor was thrilled, flying straight to the arena and giving Qin Feng a hearty pat on the shoulder: "Excellent work! You've truly brought honor to our heavenly court... Qin Feng, what's wrong with you? What are you going to do now?" Qin, with one arm resting on the Emperor's shoulder, replied, "I've been knocked badly by your pat—can't stand on my own. Just need a shoulder to lean on. Don't worry, I'm not into romantic stuff, even if I were, I wouldn't pick you." The Emperor blushed: "It's just that I was a bit too enthusiastic. I have a tonic here that strengthens the vital energy—take it right away." Oh, I should've mentioned that earlier. After swallowing the tonic, he immediately looked vibrant and energetic. Though his spiritual energy had only partially recovered, his The Jade Emperor radiated pride and called out to the demonic court, "Emperor of the Demons, the Celestial Realm has won. Surely you don't intend to offer us congratulations? In my memory, you're not the kind of person who holds grudges, are you? I'm truly saddened by the passing of your nephew, but there's little I can do—after all, he volunteered for the life-or-death duel. There's certainly a sense of fate's justice in that. Don't be too distressed; we'll surely find another one to rise in his place." The Demon Emperor's face turned stern. He thought to himself: "You're speaking from a position of comfort, standing there without bearing the weight of your own burdens. My nephew, Rex, was a rare talent among the Demons over thousands of years—do you really think of him as just another blade of grass that grows back after being cut? You've not only undermined your own efforts to boost morale, but you've also lost Rex in the process." He slowly rose to his feet, biting his teeth and saying, "Lord Yu, your heavenly court truly produces outstanding talents. I am deeply impressed. Though we lost this match, that does not signify anything significant—temporary victories or defeats will not affect the final outcome." Knowing that the Magistrate was not satisfied, Lord Yu replied, "You may send another challenger at any time. Our heavenly court will always be ready to accommodate. Even if you yourself step onto the stage, we will fulfill your request." "You..." The Magistrate was left speechless with indignation. Then, the Emperor of Heaven flew over and gestured toward the Magistrate, saying, "Magistrate, it was your nephew who just fought against my disciple. With the younger generation having completed their matches, why not let us elders also get some physical activity? I say, Magistrate, I'm sure you deeply cherish your nephew. If that's the case, then I shall reluctantly go so far as to defeat you here and send you to the underworld to continue your nephew's legacy as a devoted uncle—how does that sound?" "Emperor of Heaven, you have gone too far!" The Magistrate was nearly overcome with rage. The Emperor shrugged, straightforwardly saying, "I've just been taking advantage of you. How could I have done otherwise? You're easy to beat, aren't you? If you don't agree, come on and fight me—whichever one has the stronger arms wins. Can you do that?" The Jade Emperor nodded. "Indeed. To dare challenge the authority of the heavenly court with such a caliber is truly out of proportion—utterly lacking in self-assessment. I say, Magistrate, it's time you returned home and took care of your children. Strive to raise a successor even stronger than Rex. We in the heavenly court will be waiting for you to come and challenge us at any moment. Of course, if you're too timid, simply say so—there's nothing to be ashamed of, after all, since you've already lost much of your dignity." "No, I won't stop! I want to fight them both! I want to fight them both!" In the end, after everyone made vigorous efforts to block him, the Magistrate was escorted away by a group of people and vanished from their sight. The Jade Emperor was delighted and turned to Qin Feng, saying, "You have rendered outstanding service to our heavenly realm. I must reward you. What would you like... ah, well, if you truly enjoy women, I can select several immortal maidens for you—but I truly don't have any suitable ones at my side." Qin, blushing slightly, replied, "Your Majesty, in your eyes, do I really come across as someone who enjoys women? I would like to formally declare that I, Qin Feng, am not such a person." The Emperor glanced at the girls also celebrating, and with a touch of doubt added, "Is that so? Then how do they explain it?" "Ah," Qin simply chose to ignore the Emperor's presence and began celebrating with his master. Nevertheless, there was one thing he truly needed to mention to the Emperor. A few minutes later, he said, "Your Majesty, there's one matter that still requires your favor."
