The Ten Thousand Beasts Fist lived up to its name!
Though many suspected the one who had just struck was likely the Chu family's Beast God, the terrifying might of that fist still sent shivers down everyone's spine.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor narrowed his eyes, his divine sense spreading out as he monitored every movement in Qingyang City.
"Let me see who dares make a move," he mused.
Initially, he had thought that golden flood dragon belonged to the Chu family, but the creature's words had clearly indicated otherwise. This meant the Chu family possessed not one, but two Demon Emperors.
While an extra Demon Emperor meant little to him, the situation deviated completely from his intelligence. The waters surrounding the Chu family ran deeper than expected!
The golden fist imprint struck Qingyang City, yet strangely caused no explosion. Instead, his proudest technique—the Ten Thousand Beasts Fist—seemed to have been swallowed by some bizarre energy!
Before he could finish, the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor's pupils constricted violently.
What chilled him to the bone was its new target: himself.
"Are you joking?!" bellowed the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor.
Using his own technique against him? He felt utterly insulted.
Energy surged within him as radiant light burst forth, and he unleashed the Ten Thousand Beasts Fist again. Not that he lacked other martial techniques, but this was his original creation—his proudest masterpiece!
The void shattered beneath his fist, creating a massive rupture as the thunderous stampede of ten thousand beasts echoed through the air.
The two fist imprints collided before Qingyang City with an earth-shattering impact that deafened all witnesses. Blinding radiance illuminated the heavens, its majestic power forcing every martial artist to avert their eyes.
When the energy finally subsided and peace returned, Chu Jingyue and the others standing atop the city walls gasped in shock.
Several kilometers beyond Qingyang City's outskirts lay a figure sprawled in terror, a massive hole clean through his abdomen.
It was the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor!
"How...? That fist's power amplified so drastically even I couldn't withstand it?" he muttered in disbelief. "What kind of existence lurks in the shadows? Has their strength surpassed even perfected Emperor-tier?"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Beyond the forbidden zones, how could such power exist in the Mortal Realm?"
As he spoke, gentle light emanated from his abdominal wound, the horrific puncture gradually healing. A Martial Emperor's vitality was formidable—this strike hadn't claimed his life.
But terror took root in his heart. What kind of method could turn his own attack against him?
"This doesn't resemble the legacy of that Martial Emperor from Yunxiao Sect," the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor frowned as he rose, glaring at Qingyang City.
He knew of that Martial Emperor's methods—the practitioner of Chaos Dao was fearsome indeed, but Hell's Gate's records contained no mention of such "return-to-sender" capabilities.
"I refuse to believe you're truly invincible!"
Narrowing his eyes, a spirit cave materialized behind him as a golden toad leaped forth.
Though small in stature, the creature radiated terrifying pressure—no less than the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor himself. This was clearly another perfected Emperor-tier spirit beast!
Upon the walls, Chu Jingyue and the others drew sharp breaths. Was this Hell's Gate's true foundation? A single Beast Tamer commanded multiple Emperor-tier spirit beasts—and perfected ones at that? Such combat prowess surely made him invincible among Emperor-tier existences!
Hidden observers from various factions shuddered inwardly—this was the might of Hell's Gate, the Mortal Realm's eternal hegemon!
"Now do you understand why Hell's Gate must never be provoked?"
In certain sacred grounds, Martial Saints either employed techniques or utilized treasures to witness Qingyang City's spectacle, using it to warn their promising juniors.
The cardinal rule of the Mortal Realm: Never make an enemy of Hell's Gate.
"Yes, Elder! We shall remember!" The younger generation's scalps crawled as they watched the projected scenes, their hearts flooding with dread toward Hell's Gate. They vowed never—even unto death—to oppose it.
In the Cang Region's Chu family, Chu Dingtian finally exhaled in relief upon seeing the so-called Chu family Demon Emperor was merely at the initial Emperor-tier. Such strength wouldn't last a single round against the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor.
But when the latter got impaled through the abdomen, Chu Dingtian's heart quaked. Did that insignificant Chu family harbor another Emperor-tier powerhouse?
Yet seeing the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor summon a perfected Emperor-tier spirit beast, Chu Dingtian nodded again. With two perfected Emperor-tier experts making their move, that troublesome Chu family was surely doomed!
"Devourer, we attack together! Let's see if they can truly stop us!"
"As you command, Master!"
In an instant, the two perfected Emperor-tier beings unleashed their strongest assaults.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor naturally employed his signature Ten Thousand Beasts Fist, the simultaneous roars of countless beasts shaking heaven and earth once more.
Meanwhile, the golden toad opened its maw, conjuring a golden vortex that erupted with peerless devouring power. The terrifying force made all of Qingyang City tremble.
Two perfected Emperor-tier experts attacking in unison—their combined might defied description!
Even Chu Jingyue and the others now worried: Could the Beast God truly withstand such overwhelming force?
Like the voice of the Heavenly Dao itself, it carried divine majesty as it crashed into the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor and golden toad mid-technique.
Two explosive detonations resounded as an unimaginable scene unfolded—the attacks of both perfected Emperor-tier experts shattered instantly, followed by their bodies exploding into crimson mists as if struck by inconceivable force. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ⓝovelFire.net
Golden Emperor's blood drifted before Qingyang City's gates.
In that moment, the world fell silent.
"A single word... obliterating two perfected Martial Emperors?"
"Is this the Beast God's true power?"
Long Yuan's might reached new heights in Chu Jingyue's estimation. They'd always assumed the Beast God was a Demon Emperor, but clearly, he was no ordinary one!
"Could it be... the Beast God's strength has surpassed Martial Emperor?" Chu Long gulped involuntarily.
Without transcending Emperor-tier, how could one crush two perfected Emperor-tier experts with mere words?
"Impossible! The Mortal Realm's peak is Martial Emperor—there is no higher realm!"
"Yet the extent of the Beast God's power remains an absolute mystery!"
To Chu Jingyue, it seemed no enemy in existence could give the Beast God pause.
Shaking his head, he glanced around and asked, "Where's the Elder? Why didn't he witness this breathtaking spectacle?"
"Unknown. Perhaps he's in seclusion?"
"Not so. Before this Martial Emperor arrived, I sought the Elder but found no trace of him!"
