Chapter 313: Su Chen’s Confidence Facing a Great Emperor
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This… This is…” Sensing this aura, Su Chen’s heart sank to the bottom.
The two of them had traveled ten thousand miles deep into the Demon Slaying Altar, yet they had not even entered the core area. What he did not expect was… The dark creatures that had crossed over from another world seemed to have long known that there was a terrifying existence lurking in the depths of the Demon Slaying Altar.
Moreover, there appeared to be some connection between them. Now, the call of those dark creatures seemed to have awakened an extremely frightening existence! Just sensing that strand of aura was so terrifying, it was hard to imagine how horrifying the owner of that aura would be if it fully awakened.
Boom
A loud sound rang out. It was as if countless divine items deep within the Demon Slaying Altar had begun to tremble. An earth-shattering voice shook the heavens, echoing through the clouds. The clouds in the sky were also completely scattered by the thunderous sound, and a terrifying aura instantly flooded the entire world.
Even outside the Demon Slaying Altar, countless cultivators sensed this frightening aura. They gazed in the direction of the Demon Slaying Altar with dread. The Demon Slaying Altar had been tranquil for tens of thousands of years. Such an enormous disturbance had never occurred before, yet today, this strange phenomenon had suddenly manifested.
All who felt this aura trembled in their hearts. There was no need to ponder this deeply to understand that something monumental must have transpired within the Demon Slaying Altar. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such tremendous commotion to occur.
Bang!
Inside the Demon Slaying Altar, Long Wu casually slapped the final dark creature dead with one palm, then put away its storage ring. Then, she flashed back to Su Chen’s side, gazing solemnly toward the depths of the Demon Slaying Altar.
“Master… An unrivaled, terrifying existence is about to awaken there! 1…” At this point, Long Wu’s expression became extremely grave as she trailed off. “I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave…11
Su Chen gave a bitter smile. At this moment, the mist around them had condensed to an extreme degree. The black fog swirled like a boundless ocean, surging noiselessly. Within it seemed to lurk an unfathomable horror, with each strand of black fog emanating a terrifying aura.
The black fog now was completely different from when they had first entered the Demon Slaying Altar. If one dared to recklessly step into this fog now, they would surely forfeit their life. As the black fog spread, the entire Demon Slaying Altar became immensely more frightening.
At this moment, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth grew violent and turbulent. The whole world was extremely unstable, with countless spatial storms tearing through the void and descending upon the Demon Slaying Altar.
Su Chen’s mind raced as he swiftly contemplated a strategy. Just then, Long Wu gritted her teeth and gazed toward the depths of the Demon Slaying Altar. She spoke in a deep voice, “Master, flee quickly! 1’11 stall for time!”
Having said this, she took a step forward and vanished. When she reappeared, she was already several miles away. Although the creature deep in the Demon Slaying Altar had yet to manifest, its aura alone was terrifying enough. Perhaps… This was an existence in the Great Emperor Realm!
Even the powerful experts on the Demon Slaying Altar were formed from obsessions and lacked physical form. Yet even if it was just an obsession, it was still a Great Emperor Realm being. Such an existence was not one they could recklessly provoke.
Right now, the only way was for Long Wu to stall the other party while Su Chen escaped. Of course, in the end, Long Wu would be unable to stall such a foe. Neither Su Chen nor Long Wu harbored any confidence about this.
“No need.” Su Chen’s expression returned to normal. He flashed to Long Wu’s side in an instant, then gazed toward the black fog’s depths and spoke in a deep voice, “Senior. Why don’t we sit down and talk?”
“Hehe… Talk?”
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, a strange laugh emanated from the black fog’s core.
Ln the next moment, a figure emerged in the void. His stature was tall and mighty, with the Demon Slaying Altar beneath his feet. Endless divine radiance swirled around him as if the Milky Way itself had descended to encircle his form.
An aura of an ancient emperor gushed forth from him, seemingly able to annihilate all things in existence. In just an instant, his words were like the judgments of the Heavenly Dao itself, causing the surrounding void to fracture and devolve into endless chaos. Heaven and earth shook at this moment.
His eyes appeared to pierce through the endless river of time, seeing through the eons. With the Demon Slaying Altar at the epicenter, the ancient emperor’s aura rocked the very fabric of time itself, impacting the surrounding cities. A terrifying pressure pierced through s.p.a.cetime, spreading toward the East Barrens.
This… This was the true might of a great emperor! The genuine power. In ancient times, when great emperors unleashed their authority, all domains would bow before them!
He was like an indomitable, primordial giant. His face was obscured by layers of mist, concealing his true visage. In the cities spanning millions of miles, countless beings prostrated and submitted!
“That’s right. Junior believes that no matter the issue, there is always room for negotiation. We can sit down and discuss anything.”
On the mountain deep within the Demon Slaying Altar, Su Chen and Long Wu stood side by side. Su Chen’s black hair cascaded over his shoulders, his purple robes fluttering in the wind. His gaze held a hint of aloofness. He grasped two drops of blood essence in his palms, protected by their endless power.
These two drops of potent blood essence were the Great Emperor’s blood essence he had obtained from the Hundred Demon Battlefield and the G.o.d Demon Sect’s ruins.
Although he had refined much of these two droplets, they still emitted a faint imperial aura, helping to resist the figure in the Demon Slaying Altar’s depths.
“Oh? The Great Emperor’s blood essence, interesting…”
The figure in the sky eyed the two drops of blood essence in Su Chen s hands, his tone tinged with surprise.
Next, he turned to glance at the dark creature corpses behind Su Chen. Then his gaze returned to Su Chen as he spoke indifferently, “Tell me, what do you wish to discuss with me?”
His tone was very nonchalant. He did not seem angry at the demise of the dark creatures, as if those who recently perished had no relation to him.
And that was indeed the truth. At his level of cultivation, the living beings here were no different than those of his original world. In his eyes, anyone unable to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him were mere ants. Seeking vengeance for ants? To him, such a notion seemed rather crude.
“Senior is the embodiment of obsessions, so I’m sure you have great need of this,” Su Chen said with a smile.
As he finished speaking, a vibrant red spiritual herb appeared in his palm. The instant the spiritual herb manifested, a faint phoenix’s cry rang out, as though a young phoenix had come back to life. Accompanying the phoenix’s cry was an extremely concentrated medicinal fragrance.
“This is… the Phoenix’s Cry Fruit?” Long Wu, standing beside Su Chen, cried out in shock when she saw the spiritual herb in his hand.
The Phoenix’s Cry Fruit was an extremely rare divine medicine. It required at least tens of thousands of years to mature, and once ripe, it would be at minimum a saint-level spiritual herb.
It was beyond priceless in the outside world. Even Saint Realm powerhouses would find it hard to obtain. What Long Wu did not expect was… Her master had casually produced one and even planned to trade with…. A Great Emperor Realm powerhouse!
