"No, senior, you said the leader here is a half-step Demon Emperor."
Long Chen looked at the elder with overwhelming demonic energy, his eyes filled with shock. He had finally witnessed the true power of a half-step Demon Emperor.
Immortals have six realms, but only two are Emperor Realms: the first is Human Emperor, and the second is that each race has its own name.
If it is a human, they are called Divine Emperors or Immortal Emperors, because human cultivation methods basically fall into two main schools: Divine Cultivation and Immortal Cultivation.
The demon race is called the Demon Emperor, the demon race is called the Demon Emperor, but each clan has different branches. For example, the demon race is called the Dragon Emperor, the Peng clan is called the Peng Emperor.
The man before him was not a true emperor, but had only touched the barrier of the Demon Emperor, stepping into that realm with one foot. The term 'half-step' originated from this.
But this half-step realm is countless times stronger than that of a Nine-Meridian Emperor. There is an insurmountable chasm between the two, and the aura of that half-step Demon Emperor is enough to crush the Nine Veins Demon Emperor.
"Foolish human, prepare to die!" The half-step Demon Emperor opened his massive hand, causing heaven and earth to tremble as violent demonic might surged. At that moment, everyone, including Tang Wan'er, was restrained, unable to move a single finger.
At that moment, everyone was utterly shocked. They hadn't expected that a half-step Demon Emperor could be so terrifying, yet they had no strength to resist at all.
"Hey, hey, wait, old man, as a half-step Demon Emperor, you should be looking down on yourself. Are you blind?" Long Chen hurriedly waved his hand at the old man, signaling him not to move.
The old man was furious upon hearing this, but when he saw Long Chen's finger pointing upward, he slowly looked up. When he saw the clouds of calamity filling the sky, his expression changed dramatically.
"I heard that when a strong person touches the next bottleneck, it's easy to overcome someone else's heavenly tribulation ahead of time. I don't know if that's true or not. How about we give it a try?" Let's see just how powerful the Demon Emperor's tribulation really is. Long Chen looked at the half-step Demon Emperor and said.
The half-step Demon Emperor's face turned pale with fear. The terrifying demonic energy vanished in an instant. He tightly sealed his aura, not daring to let it slip out, because he was horrified to discover that his aura had triggered a heavenly tribulation mutation. If locked onto by the tribulation cloud, he would begin his tribulation early.
He was only a half-step Demon Emperor now. If he began his tribulation now, the terrifying heavenly tribulation would wipe him out in an instant, leaving no chance of survival.
Although they were the Outer Domain Demons, they had already multiplied countless generations in Emperor Heaven. They had to follow the laws here, and this heavenly tribulation was inevitable.
"Buzz"—
just as the old man was concealing his aura, the Dragonbone Evil Moon quietly appeared in Long Chen's hand, its blade tip aimed at the old man.
"Evil Moon Piercing the Sky"—
a black divine light shot out from the tip of the Dragon Bone Evil Moon's blade, aiming straight for the forehead of the half-step Demon Emperor. Long Chen's strike was a sneak attack, perfectly timed.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
strike struck fiercely into the forehead of the half-step Demon Emperor. With a loud explosion, Long Chen's skull split open from the blow, sending him flying like a meteor.
"Wow, this hard!"
Long Chen saw that the half-step Demon Emperor's brow had been pierced, his bones shattered, but his head was not pierced. This long-held full-force strike had precisely hit his vital spot, but it couldn't kill him, let alone seriously injure him.
"Damn bastard... the
half-step Demon Emperor elder roared angrily. Long Chen actually took advantage of Long Chen's momentum to suppress his aura, launching a sneak attack. If he hadn't activated his protective divine light at the critical moment, Long Chen's strike would have pierced through his head.
The half-step Demon Emperor was furious, his killing intent boiling. But just as he was about to strike, Long Chen pointed to the sky and made a gesture to silence him.
"Rumble rumble ..."
At that moment, the calamity clouds billowed above the heavens, surging wildly. It seemed to sense the aura of that half-step Demon Emperor and was showing signs of mutation.
The old man's face changed dramatically. If this heavenly tribulation mutated into the Demon Emperor's Calamity, everyone within the tribulation cloud, including himself, would die.
"You little rascal, just you wait..."
The old man roared, quickly concealed his aura, and fled, his figure vanishing in a flash.
As soon as the old man fled, countless Blood Demons scattered and fled in all directions. Facing the heavenly tribulation, they were filled with fear, abandoning their lairs and fleeing far away.
"Rumble rumble ..."
At that moment, endless thunderstorms poured down, raindropping to the ground, tearing holes in the earth and turning rocks to dust.
"Sisters, the tribulation is starting. Because of that old man, the tribulation has already mutated and its strength has increased, but I believe you can handle it." Long Chen shouted loudly.
After the last tribulation, when the power of thunder was about to dissipate, Lei Ling'er collected it and later used it to forge the new Hidden Dragon warriors.
With the experience from the previous tribulation, all the Hidden Dragon warriors had already cast aside their fear of Heavenly Might and began to fight the tribulation. Long Chen let the thunderous rain fall on him, racing straight toward a high mountain.
The eye of the tribulation was aimed at Long Chen. Wherever Long Chen moved, it followed him wherever he moved. The mountain Long Chen was heading to was precisely the stronghold of the Evil Wind Blood Demon clan.
When Long Chen arrived at the top of the mountain, he immediately saw an altar built here, with more than a dozen coffins placed on top.
When Long Chen saw the neatly arranged eighteen coffins, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy: "The intelligence from the Wind God Sea Pavilion is extremely accurate—even the exact number of coffins is accurate." "
Boom!"
Long Chen walked up to the stone coffin and kicked the lid flying. Inside the coffin lay a corpse. The moment the coffin opened, vast demonic energy erupted.
"Hahaha, we've struck it rich!"
When Long Chen saw the corpse, he was overjoyed. It was the corpse of a half-step Demon Emperor. He had reviewed the records of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, and according to their records, the bodies inside the coffin were all half-step Demon Emperors whose souls were destroyed by past Evil Wind Blood Demon clan tribulation failures.
Although their souls were destroyed, their bodies remained immortal. Their corpses were enshrined here, and the young prodigies of the Evil Wind Blood Demon clan could use their bloodline power to help themselves break through their shackles.
"Whoosh!"
He grabbed the corpse and threw it directly into the black soil of the chaotic space. When the black soil touched a half-step Demon Emperor-level demon corpse, the entire black earth instantly boiled, turning into a swamp and swallowing the corpse.
"Buzz"—
the corpse vanished, and the entire chaotic space trembled slightly. Then, endless life force burst forth from the black earth. That pure life energy made all living things within the chaotic space tremble instantly. In just a few breaths, the chaotic space had already returned to its peak, and as the life energy bloomed, the laws of the chaotic space— A wonderful change occurred.
"Wow, this is a huge win."
Long Chen shouted excitedly and kicked the other coffin aside. As soon as the coffin opened, a giant hand lunged at Long Chen to grab it, and terrifying demonic energy pierced through the void.
