Chapter 53: 53 Emperor Pulse Realm powerhouses
"Times have changed; my Ancient Nether Tribe is rising again, and this is no longer the era of your human race,” the elder said indifferently.
Du Tianyin’s gaze became focused as he looked at the two beads floating in the air and said, “It seems your Ancient Nether Tribe hasn’t given up on this experiment, trying to fuse the Battle Body. It’s simply impossible.”
"My Ancient Nether Tribe will always have a pioneering and innovative spirit, never content with the status quo like your human race, self-satisfied,” the elder said lightly.
Then, the elder took off his red robe, and his entire appearance underwent a dramatic change.
His body grew to a height of two meters, a pair of bull horns sprouted from his head, his eyes bulged significantly, his nose became high and proud, and two streams of white air snorted from his nostrils.
His mouth appeared very wide, he had little hair on the top of his head, and his expression was fierce and terrifying.
...
"I didn’t expect to be so lucky as to encounter a pure-blooded Ancient Nether,” Du Tianyin said with a relaxed smile.
"Since you’ve delivered the Hundred Great Battle Bodies to my doorstep, I won’t be polite in accepting them,” Du Tianyin lifted his right hand and directly obliterated the five spiritual energy fingers in his palm.
Afterward, he stepped out like an arrow, a whirlwind howling at his feet, arriving in front of the furnace and reaching for the two beads.
The elder snorted coldly, his aura becoming even more turbulent. Dark spiritual energy coiled around his arms as he struck a vicious blow toward Du Tianyin’s chest with a fierce expression.
"You’re still far from capable,” Du Tianyin laughed loudly as with a “bang,” the fifth Vein Gate, Illusion Blood, opened on his body.
The might of the Esteem Vein Realm took the form of tangible white rays, piercing the sky and slightly distorting the space around him.
The elder’s face showed great shock and he couldn’t react in time, directly being slapped away by Du Tianyin.
"Esteem Vein Realm,” the elder stood up, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed on Du Tianyin.
"Thanks for the gift,” Du Tianyin laughed loudly, reaching for the two beads.
"Enough, the farce is over,” just then, an exasperated roar of disappointment was heard.
Spiritual energy suddenly surged violently in the sky, gathering into strands, followed by the crackling sounds of explosions, space collapsed, and a pitch-black, immensely deep hole suddenly appeared.
"My lord,” upon seeing the black hole appear, the elder quickly kneeled in worship.
"Useless, you screwed up such a simple task,” a majestic voice emanated from the black hole.
The moment the black hole appeared, Du Tianyin tensed all over, his heart thumping wildly for no reason as he felt an incredibly powerful force locking onto him.
Distantly, he stared at the black hole in the sky, from which boundless dark Qi spilled out, and he could vaguely see a throne with a man seated upon it.
"An Emperor Pulse Realm expert,” Du Tianyin said with an ugly expression.
An Emperor Pulse Realm expert had already refined a True Fate Golden Body; their every move imbued with the profound truths of heaven and earth, carrying the might to destroy heaven and obliterate earth.
The moment the black hole locked onto him, Du Tianyin knew the situation was grave.
Considering the incalculable value of two Hundred Great Battle Bodies, how could the Ancient Nether Tribe trust an Empty Vein Realm tribesman with such a task, allowing him to reap the benefits?
"Come at me if you want to kill or slice me, you Nether Tribe remnants, like sewer rats; one day you will be completely eradicated,” Du Tianyin, fearless, said with a hint of fury.
"Hand over the items,” the voice from the black hole commanded.
"What is that?” Du Tianyin asked with a look of alarmed suspicion.
"We have researched the fusion of the Hundred Great Battle Bodies for tens of thousands of years. Your human race should know that the fusion of a Battle Body requires Emperor’s Blood,” the voice inside the black hole said indifferently.
"How would I have Emperor’s Blood? I’m not a descendant of a Great Emperor,” Du Tianyin’s complexion changed, yet he still denied it.
Indeed, in history, there was an Emperor Dutian, but he had nothing to do with Du Tianyin—it was just a similarity in their names.
"We’ve laid such a grand trap to lure you here; we naturally have complete confidence,” the authoritative voice from the black hole said, “Open his Storage Ring.”
"Yes, my lord,” the elder beside hurriedly nodded, walking towards Du Tianyin.
Du Tianyin’s face drastically changed. How could the other party know about him possessing Emperor’s Blood when he had kept it so confidential?
When he was young, he indeed visited the Legacy Land of a Great Emperor once. It was the legacy of Myriad Kun Great Emperor, which contained not the true instruments or treasures of the emperor, but a drop of Emperor’s Blood.
Originally, Du Tianyin thought about using that drop of Emperor’s Blood to advance to the Emperor Pulse Realm and open the fifth Vein Gate.
"Yang, do you want the Hundred Great Battle Bodies?” On the other side, Reincarnation Elder asked Chu Yang.
"Yes,” Chu Yang nodded and said, “But with the current situation, it seems impossible.”
"It’s just someone at the Emperor Pulse Realm. At my peak, I wouldn’t even give them a second look,” the Reincarnation Elder said. “In a while, try to get as close as you can to that furnace. I will temporarily merge my strength into your body, which will allow you to burst out with strength on par with the Emperor Pulse Realm for a short time.
But remember, you will only have a few seconds before the strength disappears. That is the limit your body can withstand, or else you would burst.”
Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, let’s take the risk.”
The elder was holding Du Tianyin’s Storage Ring, trying to break the seal on it.
On the side of the Blood Wolf Guard, the struggle was still unresolved. Feng Bing wielded his massive hammer with fierce agility, growing more and more valiant as the battle progressed, making it difficult to determine a victor for the time being.
They were but small fry, not worthy of the Ancient Nether’s attention. Even Thirteenth Master was nothing more than a dog of the Ancient Nether.
Here, Thirteenth Master’s power at the True Vein Realm was unmatched in the arena. Even with ten members of the Blood Wolf Guard, they were still being suppressed.
Cloaked in dark Demonic Qi, the air exploded with sound as Thirteenth Master’s palm descended. Everyone from the Blood Wolf Guard evaded, giving way to its sharp ferocity.
But only Chu Yang charged forward, and then he was sent flying by a palm strike.
His trajectory, however, was towards the location of the furnace.
"Teacher, now is the time,” Chu Yang shouted loudly.
This loud shout from Chu Yang also drew the attention of everyone present. With an Emperor Pulse Realm powerhouse dominating the scene, a mere Spirit Vein Realm ant dared to yell so audaciously.
"Noisy,” the voice from the black hole sounded impatient and couldn’t even bother to take action itself. With just the sound of those two words, Chu Yang immediately felt the air around him being sealed off, as heaps of air compressed and rushed towards him as if about to burst him open.
Just when Chu Yang’s consciousness was about to collapse, a surge of power flowed from the ring into his body.
