Once done speaking, Guardian Rou got up and, moving his massive, white, mountainous body, headed straight for the throne.

"How dare you!"

Guard Ying's face changed drastically, and he quickly moved to block Guardian Rou's path, sternly shouting, "Bodhi Rou, what do you mean by this?"

Guardian Rou merely smiled and patronizingly looked down at Guard Ying. "What do I mean? I want to find a comfortable place to sit. Didn't you hear me earlier?"

"You dare covet the Evil Emperor's seat while he is present?"

"Evil Emperor?"

Guardian Rou lifted his eyelids and casually glanced at the young man on the Evil Emperor's throne. He shook his head with a smile. "I see no Evil Emperor here."

"You..."

Guard Ying's face filled with fury. His presence suddenly surged, but with just one deadly look from Guardian Rou, he immediately stumbled backward in fear.

Two figures quietly appeared beside Guard Ying: the robust Guardian Xiang and the horse-faced middle-aged man.

Then, a figure silently emerged from behind Guardian Rou.

Standing there, coldly staring at the men before him, was Snake Scale, a brawny man with scales covering his neck and face.

A tense, hostile atmosphere instantly flared up between the two groups.

However, the presence of Guard Ying and his two companions was completely overshadowed by that of Guardian Rou and Snake Scale.

Guardian Rou was towering, more than four meters tall. He was like a pure white mountain of flesh standing before the three of them. Even the most robust Guardian Xiang looked like a child in his presence.

His presence alone completely suppressed the aura of the three men.

He stood in the middle of the hall with a smile, his body blocking most of the light from the torches. Waves of immense Evil Energy emanated from his body, eroding the three men.

He didn't stop his advance, but Guardian Xiang and his party unconsciously began retreating.

Just when it seemed like a fight was about to break out, a robust, elderly figure in a suit suddenly blocked the path between the two parties.

"You're too impatient."

Guardian Lei looked up at Guardian Rou without any expression.

The latter stopped his steps, and Snake Scale paused as well, their faces filled with wariness as they stared at Guardian Lei.

The Black Bear man and Guardian Zhu quietly moved in to surround them.

The momentum Guardian Rou had been building, which had forced Guardian Xiang and the others to timidly step back, was abruptly halted.

Pale purple lightning bolts sprung out around Guardian Lei, coiling and jumping like snakes.

Guardian Rou's fat undulated like waves on water.

The two top powerhouses among the Guardians were confronting each other, their auras escalating rapidly.

The collision of their Evil Energy power fields stirred up a storm in the grand hall, causing the flames on the walls to flicker turbulently. The terrifying aftershock produced by the clash of their Walker Level Evil Energy made the other ordinary Guardians retreat, their faces pale.

Dense explosion sounds echoed through the air, and purple lightning continuously flickered...

However, just as both sides' momentum reached its peak, their auras suddenly retracted, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never appeared at all.

Everyone was taken aback.

Immediately after, they saw Guardian Lei slowly turn around. His indifferent gaze passed through the crowd, landing on the Evil Emperor's throne at the forefront of the grand hall.

After casting a glance at the young man sitting on the throne, Guardian Lei indifferently opened his mouth, "I do agree with Guardian Rou on one thing though...

No matter what... the seat must first be emptied."

With that, two clusters of electricity sparked in Guardian Lei's eyes as he sternly looked at Guard Ying and the other two men, coldly saying, "It's interesting how any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be placed on the Evil Emperor's seat...

Do you think the Divine Alliance belongs to you?"

BANG!

A violent aura erupted from Guardian Lei along with his words, landing heavily on the three men.

Guardian Xiang swayed slightly and silently sunk a few centimeters into the ground.

As for Guard Ying and the horse-faced middle-aged man, their faces turned pale, and they retreated several steps.

Once they had steadied their footing, they faced the cold-looking Guardian Lei, the mocking Guardian Rou, and the other subordinates who wore cold smiles. Upon seeing them, their expressions instantly became as grim as possible.

Both subconsciously looked towards the man behind them for help.

Behind them, a young man sat casually on the Evil Emperor's throne. He leaned back against the two 'War God' characters, with huge braziers flanking him.

This handsome young man, filled with an atmosphere of mysterious nobility, hadn't said a word so far, nor had his facial expression changed much.

All this while, he watched the proceedings like an interested spectator enjoying an entertaining drama.

Even as his supporters—Guard Ying and the others—were cornered by Guardian Lei, Guardian Rou, and their allied forces, he didn't seem bothered at all.

Seeing that everyone's eyes had unconsciously gathered on him, the young man seemed to finally react.

He sat up a little, about to speak, when he suddenly blinked, then reached out and touched a certain spot on his right chest.

He lowered his head slightly, as though silently counting down.

Just when everyone was frowning at his bizarre behavior, the handsome young man suddenly raised his head. His face was lively, as if he were about to play a shocking prank. His mouth moved in concert with his actions as he uttered, "PONG!"

Everyone hadn't yet recovered from the handsome young man's inexplicable behavior, when...

「The next second...」

BOOM! A deafening sound echoed throughout the grand hall.

The wall on the side of the grand hall dramatically exploded open.

Amongst the flying debris, two massive figures rushed in from outside. Each was over six meters tall, their heads almost touching the ceiling.

One in front and one behind, they stood precisely between Guardians Lei and Rou.

They were like two terrifying black Demon Mountains. The shadows they cast under the flickering torchlight enveloped almost everyone in the grand hall.

A dense and heavy pressure of Evil Energy, like colossal deep-sea waves, emanated from the two dark figures.

It came in wave after wave, bringing with it a deeply suffocating, terrifying sense of oppression.

At this moment, everyone in the grand hall stared in shock at the two imposing, elephant-headed, human-bodied figures, who stood motionless.

The eerie silence lasted for perhaps half a breath.

Then, it was as though a drop of water had fallen into a pot of hot oil. With a loud BOOM!, everyone on the scene "exploded"!

Only a certain handsome young man sitting on the Evil Emperor's throne watched this unfold, a satisfied smile slowly spreading across his face.

It was as though a long-planned prank had finally achieved its desired effect.

Then, with one hand propping up his chin, he continued to watch the drama with keen interest.
