Lu Xuan, his white robe billowing, stepped out from a spatial rift. His form shimmered with profound Great Emperor Dao Patterns, and the very heavens and earth rumbled in response. Behind Lu Xuan, Chen Changsheng, clad in a simple grey robe, appeared utterly unremarkable.
“Boom!”
Lu Xuan descended like a divine sovereign. His face, no longer obscured by divine radiance, was revealed: three thousand strands of black hair flowed freely, his sword-like brows framed eyes like distant stars, giving him the appearance of an immortal banished to the mortal realm. At this sight, all eyes turned upwards, fixed on Lu Xuan.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others finally let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across their faces. Meanwhile, Pig-headed Great Emperor Zhu Liefang, Suluo Great Emperor, and their cohorts subtly frowned.
Lu Xuan glanced at Chen Changsheng. “I’ll take it from here.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng immediately retreated tens of thousands of feet away.
Lu Xuan casually crushed the Nine-star Great Emperor Experience Card! This Experience Card would last for three days! In an instant, Lu Xuan’s aura began to surge explosively.
Five-star Great Emperor!
Six-star Great Emperor!
…
Nine-star Great Emperor Late-stage!
A terrifying, peerless pressure continuously erupted from Lu Xuan, like an ocean overturning, its momentum shaking the heavens.
Lu Xuan swept his gaze over Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen. Both were in the midst of Attaining Emperor, but a strange power was actively disrupting their Dao. The source of this power was Suluo Great Emperor. From Suluo’s delicate hands, Spirit Art/Technique flowed, manifesting as two bizarre blood droplets that pulsed with dazzling divine radiance. From these droplets, two faint, almost imperceptible threads of power shot towards Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen.
Lu Xuan let out a cold snort, then simply flicked his sleeve. A heaven-reaching divine radiance erupted, piercing through the void like a divine rainbow, directly targeting those strange threads of power. “Whoosh!” The terrifying killing power made the void tremble. The two strange threads shattered into nothingness, the sky tore open, and space itself twisted.
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen were no longer disturbed. The Dao Rhyme within their bodies resumed its orderly flow. They were Attaining Emperor!
At this moment.
“Pfft!”
Suluo Great Emperor suffered an immediate backlash. She spat out a mouthful of vital blood, her body sent flying a thousand feet. Her delicate hands exploded, splattering blood everywhere. “My hands… my hands!” She shrieked in agony. “How is this possible?! What kind of power is this?!”
Suluo Great Emperor tried to summon the power of Great Emperor Dao Patterns to restore her hands. But it was useless! Lu Xuan’s power, even as mere backlash, had annihilated her Dao Patterns. The next instant, Suluo Great Emperor transformed into her true form: an incredibly thick, green python appeared between heaven and earth. Its emerald scales gleamed with a cold light, but a large section of scales on its body was shattered, revealing bloody holes. Suluo Great Emperor continuously roared, yet her body remained unable to recover.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly shocked. This White Robe Great Emperor had merely severed Suluo Great Emperor’s secret art, yet Suluo had suffered such terrifying backlash! It was too horrifying! Even though he was also a Nine-star Great Emperor, why was he so terrifying?!
Seeing this, Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others no longer worried. They promptly swallowed Healing Pills and began to recover their bodies. In an instant, the faces of all the Demon Race Great Emperors changed dramatically!
Zhu Liefang’s expression turned incredibly solemn. He spoke coldly, his voice sharp. “Are you Lu Xuan, the one who’s been slaughtering our Demon Race in the Emperor Realm and using us as food? What is your relationship with the White Robe Great Emperor?!”
A divine light flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes as he stared intently at the Pig-headed Great Emperor. “I am him, and he is me.”
All the Demon Race were startled. This White Robe Great Emperor is Lu Xuan? How could that be?! Wasn’t Lu Xuan the infamous Qi Refining Stage waste peak master of the Southern Wilds? One was a peerless Great Emperor, the other merely at the Qi Refining Stage – they were worlds apart! “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Many Demon Race Great Emperors cried out in alarm. They could accept being defeated by the White Robe Great Emperor, but they absolutely could not accept being defeated by Lu Xuan!
Zhu Liefang sneered. “Whether you are Lu Xuan or the White Robe Great Emperor, offending my Demon Court means only one thing: death.”
Lu Xuan chuckled. “Come at me together. I’m in a hurry.”
Zhu Liefang roared in fury. “You’re asking for death!”
At this moment, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, sensing Lu Xuan’s arrival, both called out, “Master!”
Lu Xuan smiled. “Just focus on Attaining Emperor! I’ll make you a grand feast later!” Then he looked at Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others. “Old Ancestors, your injuries are quite severe right now. The flesh of these Nine-star Emperor Realm Great Demons is quite delicious. You didn’t get to try it last time in the Blackflame Mountain Range, but this time, I’ll personally cook it for you!”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others were stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. “Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!”
Hearing this, the entire host of Demon Race Great Emperors were utterly enraged! The Demon Court, with its supreme glory forged by three Supremes, had always lorded over humanity, even once raising humans as livestock and using them as blood food. Yet today, they were being reduced to mere sustenance by a human! How could they tolerate this?!
Zhu Liefang swept his sleeve, then directly waved it, shouting, “Annihilate this fiend!” As his voice fell! The demonic energy on the numerous Great Demons surged like a vast ocean as they charged forward.
Lu Xuan reached out a hand. From beneath the Yanwu Sect, where Ji Fuyao was cultivating, endless flames erupted, transforming into an Unbounded Sea of Fire that swept across the void. Lu Xuan’s entire being became enveloped in boundless flames. “Swoosh!” The momentum of the Spirit Fire boiled!
In the distance, a Giant Lizard Great Emperor summoned a Nine-star Emperor Weapon—a colossal spear. With a thunderous roar, the massive spear erupted with the heaven-shaking power of the Nine-star Emperor Realm. The void shattered like a scroll, and wherever it passed, Great Emperor Dao Patterns shimmered like a brilliant galaxy. Dao Patterns continuously swirled around the Giant Lizard Great Emperor’s colossal spear, intertwining like lightning, as a terrifying, peerless storm rapidly gathered.
Zhu Liefang roared, “Don’t underestimate him! This man is strange! Unleash all the Outer World Inheritances we’ve acquired!” One must know, their Demon Court had obtained incredibly terrifying opportunities in the Stone Forest Land. They even had Quasi-Dao Supreme-tier opportunities, so their strength was no longer what it once was! Immediately, the blood essence of the numerous Great Demons, vast as an ocean, surged towards Lu Xuan like a tidal wave.
“Boom!”
The Giant Lizard Great Emperor, spear in hand, charged directly forward. With every step, heaven-reaching Dao Patterns materialized. Demonic power condensed on his spear, his momentum growing stronger and stronger. He directly activated a cultivation technique from his Outer World Inheritance. “Azure Dragon Roar!”
Lu Xuan stood calmly and collectedly in the void, then simply threw a punch. This single punch, imbued with the power of the Heaven-Burning Art, activated the surrounding Unbounded Sea of Fire. In an instant, boundless Spirit Fire surged around the Giant Lizard Great Emperor. Sizzle! The Unbounded Sea of Fire immediately blazed, engulfing the Giant Lizard Great Emperor like a vast ocean. Yet, the supreme killing power unleashed by the Giant Lizard Great Emperor vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, completely dissipating within the boundless flames. At the same time, several attacks slammed into Lu Xuan, but his body shone with endless divine radiance, completely immune to all laws!
Witnessing this, the numerous Great Demons were utterly dumbfounded. How could this be?! This was the offensive power of a Nine-star Emperor Realm expert! Moreover, they had activated Outer World cultivation techniques, imbued with a “Dao” that didn’t even exist in the Southern Wilds.
Zhu Liefang was dumbfounded. “Could it be that Lu Xuan has used body tempering to step into the ‘Extreme Dao’ of the Nine-star Emperor Realm?!” Extreme Dao! Only one Extreme Dao could counter another Extreme Dao!
Zhu Liefang let out a cold snort, divine radiance surging around him, and pulled out an Ultimate Emperor Weapon. He continued his charge! Suddenly, the Giant Lizard Great Emperor shrieked in agony. Countless scales on his body had actually burst into flames. “Damn you, Lu Xuan! What kind of flames are these?!” From the Giant Lizard Great Emperor’s abyssal maw, vital blood continuously spewed. His body, like a colossal sun, was engulfed in towering flames, and scorching light surged around him. “Save me! Lord Zhu Liefang!” “These flames are too terrifying!” The Giant Lizard Great Emperor no longer even had the strength to stand in the air!
Zhu Liefang swung his Ultimate Emperor Weapon, an Ancient Curved Hook. The Ancient Curved Hook swept across the void, its Extreme Dao power shaking the surroundings, as he plunged it into the Unbounded Sea of Fire. But it was useless! It was useless! He couldn’t extinguish the Spirit Fire there! Not only that, but the Unbounded Sea of Fire in the area was still spreading outwards.
The numerous Great Demons were utterly shocked. They felt their bodies being roasted, and the Giant Lizard Great Emperor, who had attacked Lu Xuan first, was already lying unconscious in the sea of fire, foaming at the mouth and beginning to babble incoherently. “Too terrifying… he’s too terrifying!”
Lu Xuan continuously scanned his surroundings, a satisfied smile gracing his lips. Using the Void as a Furnace, and the Unbounded Sea of Fire to roast them, these dozen or so Great Demons would surely be delicious later! At this moment, seeing Lu Xuan’s gaze, Zhu Liefang instantly understood. It was the look one gave to food! Damn it, it was exactly the same look he himself gave when gnawing on the thigh bones of human Great Emperors! At this thought, Zhu Liefang’s face became incredibly grim. He snarled, “Lu Xuan, are you planning to roast all of us?”
Lu Xuan, looking utterly unconcerned, replied, “Oh, you found out.”
