“Call for help! Call your Master out!”
The declaration echoed, stunning the numerous powerhouses gathered in Bingzhou. As expected of the Demon Hall’s Red Serpent Race—barely a few days after emerging, they were already brazenly challenging the White Robe Great Emperor!
Ji Fuyao, spear in hand, pointed the Ultimate Emperor Weapon, Howling Heaven, at the assembled Red Serpent Race. “You are no match for my Master.”
The Red Serpent Great Emperor frowned slightly. “An Ultimate Emperor Weapon? Rumors said that the White Robe Great Emperor doted on you immensely, but I never imagined he’d bestow an Ultimate Emperor Weapon upon you! What an unexpected bonus this turns out to be!”
Just then, a figure in white robes slowly emerged from a spatial rift. It was Chen Changsheng, his face obscured by a faint Divine Radiance, mimicking Lu Xuan’s casual tone as he spoke.
“Just you lot? Too weak. Even the Demon Lord kneels before me.”
At these words, the Red Serpent Race cultivators bristled with fury. The Demon Lord was revered by all demon races; how could the White Robo Great Emperor insult him so brazenly?
Ji Fuyao paused, a flicker of confusion in her starry eyes. “Master?”
Chen Changsheng, completely unperturbed, waved a hand. “Allow me to handle this.”
Ji Fuyao’s starry eyes, still shimmering with Divine Radiance, scrutinized Chen Changsheng. She couldn’t shake the feeling that her Master was… a little off.
With a decisive clap, Chen Changsheng summoned the Canggu Square Cauldron. Ancient, profound Dao patterns were etched into its surface, radiating an ethereal aura as it descended, enveloping Ji Fuyao and the Fuyao Dynasty loyalists. With a thunderous roar, the Canggu Square Cauldron unleashed terrifying Power of Spatial Array Patterns, shimmering with boundless light above their heads. In an instant, the space around Ji Fuyao and her allies was sealed off, separated from the battlefield.
“Retreat!” Chen Changsheng commanded, flicking his sleeve. A gentle, yet irresistible force pushed the Canggu Square Cauldron back hundreds of miles. Not only that, but the numerous cultivators from Bingzhou were also swept away by a profound Power of Creation.
Everyone was utterly stunned. The White Robe Great Emperor’s methods were terrifying! Such a Power of Creation far surpassed anything they could comprehend!
The Red Serpent Race cultivators watched coldly, a sneer twisting their lips. “Indeed, worthy of someone who made the Fire Dragon Old Ancestor and Golden Crow Old Ancestor bow down! You do have some tricks up your sleeve.”
As his words fell, a thunderous roar erupted! Above, the Red Serpent Nine-star Great Emperor coldly ordered, “Step back, all of you! This battle is not for you to partake in!”
In an instant, the Red Serpent Nine-star Great Emperor manifested his true form. A colossal serpent, thick as a mountain, coiled and writhed in the sky, stretching like a continuous mountain range. Its scales shimmered with an icy green light, a terrifying power condensed from potent venom. Before the massive serpent even struck, a dreadful aura permeated the heavens and earth. Around him, the void itself began to warp, giving birth to the very Dao and Stance of his power. His monstrous demonic might was boundless as an ocean, threatening to capsize the world. Within dozens of miles, all spiritual trees withered instantly from the sheer toxicity.
The Red Serpent Nine-star Great Emperor fixed his gaze on Chen Changsheng. His terrifying, immense body shot forward like a bolt of green lightning. His two massive heads reared up, like twin mountain peaks, looming over Chen Changsheng.
“Your head is mine!”
Chen Changsheng, completely unperturbed, suddenly unleashed an endless, swirling mist from his body. In moments, it enveloped dozens of miles, completely obscuring his true form. The Red Serpent Great Emperor’s heads peered through the mist from above. A gust of spatial wind swept through, and he inadvertently inhaled a large amount of the vapor.
Suddenly, his body felt stiff, his movements sluggish. A profound dread seized him. This mist contained several high-star Emperor-tier spirit herbs specifically formulated to counter the Red Serpent Race: Myriad Year Realgar Grass, Starry Gold Coin Leaf, Netherfall Heartbreak Powder…
Just then, boundless, dazzling light erupted between heaven and earth, soaring from the ground to form a Heaven-Reaching Array. The Red Serpent Great Emperor roared in fury. “Damn you, White Robe Senior! Are all you humans so insidious and cunning?!” When had this Heaven-Reaching Array been laid here? He hadn’t sensed a thing!
“Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui!” Golden array patterns condensed into rings, rippling across the void, directly locking down the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s colossal body.
Chen Changsheng’s figure suddenly reappeared. Seeing this, the Red Serpent Great Emperor snorted coldly. “Die!” His two massive heads thrashed like green lightning, venom dripping from his icy fangs, a terrifying sight as he lunged at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng moved swiftly, the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s body twisting to follow. The next instant, a black Canggu Long Nail descended from the sky, pinning itself directly into the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s tail.
“Aargh!” The Red Serpent Great Emperor let out a bloodcurdling shriek, the sonic wave nearly tearing everyone’s eardrums.
Chen Changsheng smiled faintly, appearing directly before the Red Serpent Great Emperor. “Hiss!” From his two heads, several fangs shot out streams of green venom, corroding the void as they flew towards Chen Changsheng. But Chen Changsheng was prepared. Two ancient, large jars appeared in his hands. In a flash, the venom was drawn by the Dao patterns etched onto the jars, forcibly redirected, and collected inside.
Chen Changsheng gathered all the venom, a faint smile on his lips. “A little more, please.”
The Red Serpent Great Emperor snarled, his massive heads rearing up, overwhelmed by a sense of utter humiliation. “You’re courting death!”
Whoosh! Another black Canggu Long Nail shot from the ground, pinning the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s body to the void. He felt the parts of his body not pierced by the nails growing numb. These two black Canggu Long Nails were actually Nine-star Emperor Weapons, steeped in potent venom! In an instant, only two-thirds of his body could move freely.
The Red Serpent Great Emperor roared again. But it was useless! Useless! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! One black Canggu Long Nail after another shot out from unseen locations, impaling his body!
Witnessing this, everyone was dumbfounded. The White Robe Great Emperor had completely toyed with this Red Serpent Nine-star Great Emperor! The monstrous demon had no power to retaliate! It was pure mockery!
The crowd was shocked; the White Robe Great Emperor possessed far too many tricks. These black Canggu Long Nails were impervious to the Red Serpent Race’s corrosive venom! Moreover, with every move, the White Robe Great Emperor seemed to be guiding the Red Serpent Great Emperor, who, with each counter-attack, was drawn deeper into the Heaven-Reaching Array patterns, effectively binding himself!
Ji Fuyao’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She couldn’t help but feel that her Master’s fighting style had completely changed. Shouldn’t he have just gone up there and “bang-bang” punched this Nine-star Great Emperor serpent to death? And today’s battle even involved activating the Heaven-Reaching Array and that terrifying mist.
Just then, “Boom!” Two more black Canggu Long Nails directly pinned the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s two heads to the void. In an instant, the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s body, stretching for dozens of miles, was completely sealed, like a winding mountain range, utterly unable to move. Everyone was utterly dumbfounded. This Red Serpent Great Emperor was nothing but a plaything before the White Robe Great Emperor!
Chen Changsheng approached the Red Serpent Great Emperor. In his hand, he produced a rusty, ancient pair of pliers. Endless Dao patterns surged, and a heaven-reaching power shot directly towards the fangs in the Red Serpent Great Emperor’s two heads. “Snap!” “Snap!” His fangs were directly extracted from his heads, endless venom gushing down into the large jars before him.
The Red Serpent Great Emperor roared, “You’re dead! My race will never let you go!”
Suddenly, from deep within the void, several high-star Great Emperors from Stabbing Heaven Palace whispered. “Now! This is the perfect moment to assassinate Ji Fuyao!”
