Celestial Overlord - Chapter 39 Old demon lord

“Jin Yao, aid us in the upcoming war” A person with black clothing spoke. He was standing, as he faced a middle-aged man, who was kneeling down. The black-clothed man is an upper realm being.

The immortal realm, where mortals dream to ascend. He belonged to the Evil god clan, one of the powerful demonic arts practitioner in that realm. They were also joining in the great war.

“My lord, may this lowly one can ask a question,” Jin Yao asked in a low voice. The black-clothed personstared at him without saying anything. “Do you think you have the qualification?” the black-clothed person said in a cold voice.

Jin Yao trembled. If it were anyone from mortal realm ,they would have their head rolling down , the moment such words were spoken. But the being , is from upper realm. An immortal.

Even though he might be a demon king of this mortal realm. He is inferior to such beings.

He understood that.

” We will aid you , my lord” Jin Yao replied.

He knew , that a great war was upon them. It is a war were the upper realm being decided to wage . The ones in the mortal realm , were nothing but a foot soldiers for them. Jin Yao also knew if he refused, that will be the end of his race.With heavy heart he nodded. Even knowing , that he will be heading towards the death gate.

The great war, were thousands of beings died. The most gruesome war that ever happened. The blood flowed like river. The dead bodies all scattered around. Many lost their lives , without even knowing the reason for fight. All hopes were vanishing . Screams were heard all through the battlefield.

“Somebody help me ! Please , I don’t want to die”

“My legs! Aaaah! My legs!

“Please spare me! My family is waiting for me , please spare me!”

Screams , agong , anger all were seen in the battlefield. The mortals , who fought the war without even knowing the reason . The immortals who considered the low realm life as nothing. The gods who were fighting as if their life depended on it. The humans who were at the edge of losing all.

His own race , the demon race was also being killed in front of his eyes.when all hope vanished. When death was the only way waiting for them. It was the time . It was the moment , he arrived.

Roar! A beastly roar teared down the entire battle field. None , not even the great immortals or the gods were able to stand the pressure. A pressure , which caused everyone one of them to tremble in fear was on them.

Crack! Crack!. The space rippled , a gaint golden dragon arrived , on the dragon , a throne was there . A majestic being was sitting on the throne. He had an aura which made everyone to tremble in fear and respect. The entire battle field which was chaotic turned complete silence.

That being was followed by four golden armored warriors , each looked like wargods. Silence prevailed. But finally that being spoke, “Fight among yourself I don’t care , but if a single innocent soul dies because of it remember well , I will come for revenge”. The majestic voice echoed through the whole battlefield.

No one spoke a single word against that Supreme one. Every immortal and gods departed the instant the words left the Supreme being mouth, like running for their life. The chaotic battlefield turned into a place , where only blood and dead bodies were there.

The mortals were kowtowing , as they cried . He was their god , their savior. The supreme one! . But that being left without saying anything further.

Jin Yao , the great demon lord who ruled over the demon race in mortal realm was weakened after the great war. His son was an young man then. So , Jin Yao ruled the Blood sea continent as the Emperor. But alas , he wasn’t able to keep up with time. As time wasn’t merciful on him.

After ruling forty six years after the great war , he descended the throne. Making his son as the next Emperor. But , the problem started blooming there. Many of the official weren’t happy as his son ideal of peace and co- existence were opposed.

At the end , the General whom he considered as his brother, whom he treated as a comrade, rebelled. His son and his daughter in law were killed in front of his eyes. It was the second time Jin Yao cried after he lost his love in the great war.

His granddaughter , the one he loved so much disappeared. He hoped , that she was safe. He prayed that she would live happily. All these four years , where he was jailed . He prayed and prayed for his granddaughter safety.

The majestic demon king of the mortal realm was nothing but an injured old man now. Who was arrested and jailed by his own kind. It was pure betrayal. The worst ever thing that can happen to anyone.

He was locked in the highest level of the underground prison. He was chained. He looked nothing like an Emperor but a begger. He starved himself. Blaming everything on himself , for the destruction of his family.

Tears weren’t not enough to wash away his sorrow . He still remembered the words of the supreme being. Thinking , about it he laughed.

” Where is the savior?, Where is the supreme one?”

“You said you will come for revenge ,for the innocents. But where are you?”

” My innocent son and his wife died . My granddaughter!, what did the child did to go through all this suffering. Answer me , just answer me?”

” Why did I lose my family. They were all innocent. They could have killed me instead of them. I am the corrupted. Just why?” Cries were heard all through the highest level.

“Hahaha did you hear that , it seems the old man is again at it ” a demonic soldier laughed while hearing . The soldier next to him laughed too. “Hmph! Old demon king Jin Yao ! , What demon king he can’t be compared to our lord Yaojing”.

As the both were discussing , a cold wind went through their body. As their body was cut into the half, a death they weren’t even aware. Took place at the moment.

Jin Yao cried all these four years, but nothing happened. He wanted to give up, but still, his heart had a tiny bit of hope, as he remembered the supreme one’s word.

He closed his eyes, as he went into a meditating state. He calmed down, he still wanted to live to see his granddaughter. He still hoped a day would come. Where he can get to see his granddaughter.

Even without knowing, whether she is alive or dead. He hoped. The hope was the only thing he held his life for.

It was at the moment. He heard footsteps coming towards his direction. He just sighed, as he thought it must be the guarding soldiers. But the footsteps stopped in front of his jail room.

“Has my death arrived?” he asked himself. As he thought, that Yaojing would have wanted to execute him. After these years.

But the door to his room, which is inscribed with ruins. That is able to stop a Demigod level expert. Burst into pieces. His eyes went wide, as his body trembled.

Four golden being was standing beside a scarlet-eyed young man. Old demon lord heart trembled. As words came out of his mouth ” su…sup… supreme one”.
