Chapter 246: Ji Qing Is A Supreme Expert? Immortal Path Great Emperors Shocked! Ji Qing Draws Sword, Slays Tenfold Combat Power Demon Emperor Again!
“Human Emperor, do not interfere. This matter has nothing to do with you! He stole the origin I discovered first, so he deserves to die!”
That Demon Emperor also transmitted his voice to Ji Qing.
Although he didn’t know what the Human Emperor had said to Ji Qing.
The Demon Emperor still warned Ji Qing as a precaution.
However, Ji Qing felt something strange.
The person being pursued was the Human Emperor.
And the pursuer was a Demon Emperor.
They were both experts of the same level.
Normally, it would be difficult to kill each other in a one-on-one fight.
Now that the Demon Emperor was closely following, did he have the confidence to kill the Human Emperor?
If he truly had the confidence, he would have to be at least a Half-step Supreme Expert.
Where were there so many Half-step Supreme Experts?
Moreover, if he were truly a Half-step Supreme Expert, would the Demon Emperor have waited until now?
That Human Emperor was getting closer and closer to Ji Qing.
When he got close enough.
“Kill!”
The Human Emperor didn’t hesitate at all. He actually suddenly attacked, cooperating with the Demon Emperor to surround and kill Ji Qing.
However, Ji Qing didn’t even move.
Only the five-colored light on his body flashed.
He let the attacks of the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor fall upon him.
As a result, not even the First Heaven Domain collapsed.
“What?”
The Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor’s expressions changed.
Their combined effort couldn’t break through Ji Qing’s defenses?
Clearly, they had probably kicked a steel plate this time!
“Go!”
The Demon Emperor turned and fled without hesitation.
He completely disregarded the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor immediately prepared to traverse space.
However, how could Ji Qing let them escape?
Ji Qing was now completely different from before.
He didn’t even need to be overbearing.
“Buzz.”
Ji Qing directly covered them with his Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
Be it the Demon Emperor or the Human Emperor, they were directly drawn into the Five Layered Heavenly Domain, as if they had fallen into a quagmire, struggling more and being more restrained.
In the end, they couldn’t move at all and were completely suppressed.
The two were extremely shocked.
They were forcefully suppressed in just one move.
What kind of situation was this?
Even a Supreme Expert was just like this!
But they were inherently cautious; they remembered every Supreme Expert in the Immortal Path.
How could a new, unfamiliar Human Supreme Expert have appeared?
Ji Qing said coldly, “I didn’t expect the Immortal Path to be so treacherous. A Human Emperor and a Demon Emperor can actually join forces to rob and kill other cultivators?”
“Spare us, we are willing to surrender…”
The two hurriedly begged for mercy.
But Ji Qing’s Five Layered Heavenly Domain pressed down.
“Bang, bang.”
Be it the Demon Emperor or the Human Emperor, they were instantly ground into powder and annihilated by the Five Layered Heavenly Domain, perishing completely.
Ji Qing obtained another trillion Origin Points.
“I’ve only just arrived at the Immortal Path and already killed a Demon Emperor and a Human Emperor… The Immortal Path is more dangerous than I imagined! Even the Human Race and demons are unclear, not entirely hostile…”
Ji Qing knew from the Demon Emperor and Human Emperor joining forces to rob and kill that the Immortal Path was more complex than he had imagined.
In the Black Ruins, the Human Race and demons were clearly distinct.
They could even be said to have been fighting for generations.
But it seemed different in the Immortal Path.
The Human Race and demons cared less about their stances.
What they cared about was only profit!
The so-called conquest of the Immortal Path was entirely for the improvement of personal strength.
Therefore, the alliance between Human cultivators and demons was not a big deal.
Only the monsters in the Forbidden Zone were less likely to ally with either the Human Race or the demons.
Alliances were relatively rare.
Ji Qing continued to fly towards Human Immortal City.
He flew for a full month before finally reaching Human Immortal City.
However, now that he knew about Human Immortal City, he wouldn’t need to fly anymore.
With Ji Qing’s mastery of the Void Evasion Law, he could directly traverse back to Human Immortal City in the future.
Along the way, Ji Qing encountered no trouble.
He did encounter several battles between cultivators, but Ji Qing, having learned his lesson, gave them a wide berth.
Human Immortal City had no guards, but it was protected by a great formation.
Under the great formation, any “non-human” existence would be detected.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about demons or monsters from the Forbidden Zone infiltrating.
As soon as Ji Qing entered Human Immortal City, he felt a familiar style.
“This is… the Immortal Seeking Tower?”
Ji Qing was a little surprised.
The layout of Human Immortal City was too similar to the Immortal Seeking Tower.
It was just larger.
Ji Qing guessed that the Immortal Seeking Tower and Human Immortal City likely had some connection.
Human Immortal City was basically populated by Mahayana cultivators and Great Emperors.
Occasionally, there were Saint Venerables.
But the Saint Venerables were generally cautious and kept their heads down.
They were likely attendants to some Great Emperors or Mahayana cultivators.
The Immortal Path was not suitable for Saint Venerables’ cultivation.
Only Great Emperors and Mahayana cultivators would battle in the Immortal Path to advance further.
Human Immortal City was too large.
Ji Qing wouldn’t explore it slowly on his own.
Connections were useful at times like this.
In the Immortal Path, the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory also had connections.
But they were all Great Emperors.
Ji Qing didn’t intend to use the connections of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
His goal was the Chaos Origin, which even ordinary Great Emperors couldn’t access.
The first person Ji Qing thought of was the Liuyu Great Emperor.
He had also heard from the Sun Swallowing Great Emperor that the Liuyu Great Emperor had been quite influential in the Immortal Path recently.
Moreover, she was a Supreme Expert, so her status in the Immortal Path was definitely not low.
Furthermore, the Liuyu Great Emperor owed Ji Qing a favor, and they shared the “Immortal Lord’s Tomb” secret, which made them feel closer.
Therefore, Ji Qing immediately decided to go find the Liuyu Great Emperor.
Ji Qing made a few inquiries.
He quickly found out the location of the Liuyu Great Emperor’s Cave Dwelling.
He arrived outside the Liuyu Great Emperor’s Cave Dwelling and reported according to the rules: “Liuyu Great Emperor, an old acquaintance from the Black Ruins has arrived!”
There were many cultivators near the Liuyu Great Emperor.
They were all somewhat surprised.
“Another visitor to the Liuyu Great Emperor?”
“The Liuyu Great Emperor’s Cave Dwelling has been bustling with visitors lately, with people arriving one after another. Who is this person?”
“He says he’s an old acquaintance of the Liuyu Great Emperor from the Black Ruins?”
“Am I seeing this correctly? He seems to be a Saint Venerable cultivator? Not even a Great Emperor, and a Saint Venerable has come to the Immortal Path and is visiting the Liuyu Great Emperor? Could he also be seeking benefits from the Liuyu Great Emperor?”
At this moment, many Great Emperors and Mahayana cultivators curiously looked at Ji Qing, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
They found it hard to believe that a Saint Venerable dared to seek out the Liuyu Great Emperor. Could he be a subordinate of the Liuyu Great Emperor in the Black Ruins?
But why would a subordinate report to the Liuyu Great Emperor in such a tone?
“Whoosh.”
The gate of the Cave Dwelling opened.
The Liuyu Great Emperor actually came out in person.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, it is indeed you. I didn’t expect you to arrive at the Immortal Path so quickly. Please come into my Cave Dwelling for a chat.”
The Liuyu Great Emperor’s eyes flashed with brilliance upon seeing Ji Qing, showing him great respect and courtesy.
Seeing this, many people were even more “shocked.”
Who was the Liuyu Great Emperor?
She was currently the most sought-after top expert in Human Immortal City.
She was a Supreme Expert herself, and in the Immortal Path, she had killed another Supreme Expert from a Demon Country.
She didn’t expect to personally greet a Saint Venerable cultivator!
This was truly astonishing.
Regardless of what the people outside were speculating, Ji Qing did not stand on ceremony and strode into the Cave Dwelling.
Inside the Cave Dwelling, Ji Qing and Liuyu Great Emperor sat opposite each other.
Liuyu Great Emperor asked with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ji, you are still at Saint Venerable cultivation. Why are you already fighting in the Immortal Path? Although you have the strength of a Great Emperor, the Immortal Path is not like the Black Ruins; even Supreme Experts can fall, let alone Great Emperors who die in greater numbers.”
Liuyu Great Emperor was unaware of the news from the Black Ruins.
Naturally, she didn’t know that Ji Qing was now a renowned Supreme Expert of the Black Ruins.
She still thought Ji Qing was a Great Emperor.
This was also normal, as the Immortal Path and the Black Ruins were isolated.
If one didn’t leave the Immortal Path to return to the Black Ruins, they might not be able to obtain news from the Black Ruins.
And since the Supreme Conference hosted by Liuyu Great Emperor, she had not returned to the Black Ruins.
Ji Qing looked at Liuyu Great Emperor and said solemnly, “Fellow Daoist Liuyu, I have come to the Immortal Path for only one thing, and that is to search for Origin! You should know that I possess multiple Supreme Laws. To achieve the Emperor Realm, I must shape the Emperor Body. But what kind of Origin can have no conflict with the many Supreme Laws I possess?”
“There is only one kind of Origin, the Chaos Origin! Therefore, I have come to the Immortal Path this time only to contend for the Chaos Origin. Fellow Daoist Liuyu, do you have any news about the Chaos Origin?”
Since Ji Qing intended to use the Liuyu Great Emperor’s connections, he could not conceal his need for the Chaos Origin.
He couldn’t be secretive, or it would create suspicion.
Directness and honesty were the keys to gaining Liuyu Great Emperor’s trust.
“Chaos Origin? No wonder…”
Liuyu Great Emperor was slightly surprised.
But upon careful consideration, it seemed reasonable.
Ji Qing was indeed an “anomaly.”
Possessing eleven Supreme Laws, even Liuyu Great Emperor, who was a wisp of consciousness from an Immortal Lord Corpse, found it inconceivable.
If Ji Qing wanted to become an Emperor, ordinary Origins would definitely not suffice.
It could only be the Chaos Origin.
However, the Chaos Origin was troublesome.
Liuyu Great Emperor shook her head slightly and said, “Fellow Daoist Ji, you are unaware of the situation in the Immortal Path. Outside of Human Immortal City, the Immortal Path is fraught with danger, with every step a deadly trap. Especially the Chaos Origin, which is highly beneficial for the Emperor Bodies of Great Emperors and Supreme Experts, everyone needs it. Therefore, every time a Chaos Origin appears, there will be scenes of many Great Emperors and Supreme Experts contending and fighting. You, having just entered the Immortal Path, wanting to obtain the Chaos Origin, I’m afraid it will be difficult…”
“Moreover, with your eleven Supreme Laws, you would need a quantity of Chaos Origin far exceeding that of ordinary Great Emperors to shape your Emperor Body, making it even more difficult…”
It was already difficult for Ji Qing to shape his Emperor Body.
Moreover, he needed the extremely rare Chaos Origin?
Even Liuyu Great Emperor dared not claim she could contend for the Chaos Origin.
“The Chaos Origin will naturally be contended for by me. Fellow Daoist Liuyu only needs to inform me of recent news about the Chaos Origin.”
Liuyu Great Emperor thought for a moment and finally said, “The Chaos Origin is extremely rare, but every time it appears, it causes a commotion throughout the Immortal Path, with countless experts vying for it. The most recent occurrence was over a hundred years ago. Someone in the Immortal Path discovered a Chaos Origin, and then many experts attacked to contend for it. In the end, the Supreme Expert ‘Long Beard Emperor’ obtained the vast majority of the Chaos Origin.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Long Beard Emperor?”
Liuyu Great Emperor glanced at Ji Qing and immediately understood his intentions.
To try and obtain the Chaos Origin from Long Beard Emperor?
That would be too difficult.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, it’s best not to have such thoughts. Long Beard Emperor is no ordinary Great Emperor; he is a Supreme Expert who has fought on the Immortal Path for tens of thousands of years, and he also possesses a very powerful Emperor Weapon. Moreover, he has obtained Chaos Origin, and has likely already used it.”
Ji Qing raised an eyebrow and said, “Since Long Beard Emperor is already a Supreme Expert, why would he need Chaos Origin? Can he still improve his strength?”
“There are differences even among Supreme Experts. Furthermore, ‘Supreme Expert’ is merely a term used in Black Ruins, representing the upper limit of combat power there, not a cultivation realm. Whether it’s a Supreme Expert or a Great Emperor, their cultivation realm is all within the ‘Emperor Realm’.”
“In reality, the ‘Emperor Realm’ is primarily about shaping one’s Emperor Body. Upon first entering the Great Emperor realm, one shapes the Emperor Body Outline, then begins to fill the muscles, bones, torso, and blood with Origin, eventually transforming it completely into an ‘Emperor Body’. At that point, a cultivator can no longer advance. If they wish to increase their combat power, they must attempt to live a Second Life. If they succeed in living a Second Life, they can then gather the accumulation of two lifetimes, and their combat power will be incredibly strong.”
“Although Long Beard Emperor is a Black Ruins Supreme Expert, his Emperor Body has not even been half-shaped. Therefore, his contention for Chaos Origin is also for the purpose of shaping his Emperor Body. After all, Chaos Origin has no attribute and will not reject any Emperor Body.”
Ji Qing understood.
The reason numerous Great Emperors come to the Immortal Path to fight is to contend for Origin and shape their Emperor Bodies.
Only when the Emperor Body is completely shaped is there no further advancement possible.
As for living a Second Life, that is something to consider only after the Emperor Body has been completely shaped.
The fact that so many Great Emperors are fighting on the Immortal Path indicates that completely shaping an Emperor Body is extremely difficult.
“May I ask, Fellow Daoist Liuyu, how much of your Emperor Body have you shaped so far?”
Ji Qing asked.
“I have only been fighting on the Immortal Path for a short time. The Emperor Body I have shaped so far is less than twenty percent.”
Liuyu Great Emperor replied truthfully.
“Less than twenty percent?”
Ji Qing could now roughly understand how difficult it is to shape an Emperor Body.
If it is this difficult for Liuyu Great Emperor to shape his Emperor Body, it is even more so for other Great Emperors.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, in Black Ruins, Supreme Experts are considered invincible. However, on the Immortal Path, there are too many powerhouses. Many of them have lived for an unknown duration, and their strength is unfathomable.”
“Furthermore, cultivation is one thing, and realm is another. If you, Fellow Daoist Ji, were to shape your Emperor Body with eleven Supreme Laws, even if it were just an Emperor Body Outline, your combat power would soar to unimaginable heights! It’s possible you could shape the most powerful Emperor Body in the history of the Immortal Path!”
“However, Chaos Origin is indeed a problem… How about this: you first settle down in my Cave Dwelling, and once you have a sufficient understanding of the Immortal Path, you can then find a Cave Dwelling of your own.”
Ji Qing thought for a moment; he was new and didn’t understand many things.
In Liuyu Great Emperor’s Cave Dwelling, he could also communicate with Liuyu Great Emperor at any time.
Thus, Ji Qing nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Liuyu.”
The Cave Dwelling was vast, with plenty of Secret Chambers. Arranging just one cultivation Secret Chamber for Ji Qing was a trivial matter for Liuyu Great Emperor.
Time passed day by day.
Ji Qing peacefully resided in Liuyu Great Emperor’s Cave Dwelling.
As time went on, Ji Qing also rapidly learned common knowledge about Human Immortal City and the Immortal Path.
This was because, on the Immortal Path, the cultivators were predominantly at the “Great Emperor” level.
Black Ruins Supreme Experts were merely a standard for Black Ruins.
On the Immortal Path, “Supreme Expert” was too general.
Moreover, Emperor Bodies varied in strength. Some Emperor Bodies, even when fully shaped, might not be as powerful as some merely half-shaped but potent Emperor Bodies.
Consequently, the progress in shaping the Emperor Body could not be used to clearly distinguish between Great Emperors.
Additionally, Great Emperors were enhanced by Emperor Weapons.
Mahayana cultivators even had the enhancement of Half-Immortal Treasures, or even Immortal Treasures.
Over time, the Immortal Path simply began to differentiate cultivators’ strength based on their “combat power.”
This was also the classification of combat power used by the “monsters” in the Restricted Areas.
Using the weakest Great Emperor as a base, they were divided into twice Great Emperor, three times Great Emperor, four times Great Emperor… all the way up to ten times Great Emperor!
Generally, reaching ten times Great Emperor combat power meant one was at the Supreme Expert level, reaching the Black Ruins’ upper limit and being called a Black Ruins Supreme Expert!
Ji Qing visited Liuyu Great Emperor again.
“Fellow Daoist Liuyu, what is the highest combat power achieved by all Great Emperors who have completed shaping their Emperor Bodies so far?”
Ji Qing asked.
Liuyu Great Emperor pondered for a moment and slowly replied, “This is classified information… It’s impossible for any Great Emperor to fully disclose their combat power to others. However, there was once a terrifying Great Emperor on the Immortal Path named Vast Universe Emperor. His Emperor Body was extremely powerful, and the combat power he displayed was astonishing, exceeding one hundred times Great Emperor!”
“However, Vast Universe Emperor was eventually killed by an ancient fossil who had lived for an unknown number of lives…”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
A hundredfold!
Vast Universe Emperor had displayed combat power exceeding one hundred times Great Emperor.
The difference between Emperor Bodies was truly immense.
However, Ji Qing was confident in himself.
Once he shaped his Emperor Body with eleven Supreme Laws, and once that Emperor Body reached perfection, its combat power would surely surpass a hundredfold!
Yet, such a powerful Vast Universe Emperor was still killed.
The waters of this Immortal Path were truly deep!
Ji Qing roughly estimated his current strength.
As a Black Ruins Supreme Expert, he definitely possessed combat power equivalent to ten times Great Emperor.
As for whether he had twenty times, that remained unknown.
It could be anywhere from over a dozen times to twenty times.
However, on the Immortal Path, he was certainly not weak!
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liuyu!”
Ji Qing cupped his hands and thanked Liuyu Great Emperor.
Other Great Emperors would not necessarily explain things to him in such detail.
Liuyu Great Emperor smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Ji, you have been living in Human Immortal City for some time now. You should have a general understanding of Human Immortal City and the Immortal Path, right?”
Ji Qing nodded.
He had indeed learned quite a bit.
Unfortunately, Ji Qing had been inquiring about Chaos Origin the entire time.
But he had found nothing.
Even that Long Beard Emperor, it was said, had long since refined the Chaos Origin, leaving nothing behind.
That was as expected.
Chaos Origin was, in itself, a Supreme Treasure of the Immortal Path.
Who would hoard it?
Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
“Since Fellow Daoist Ji has arrived on the Immortal Path, you have decided to contend here. I recommend a place called the ‘Round Table Society.’ Within the ‘Round Table Society,’ everyone can exchange resources, share information, and even form teams to fight together. Since your goal is Chaos Origin, you must be well-informed. The ‘Round Table Society’ has a large number of Great Emperors, and perhaps you can find some of the latest and most secret information there.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Then I thank you, Fellow Daoist Liuyu.”
Thus, Liuyu Great Emperor took Ji Qing to a restaurant in Human Immortal City, which served as a temporary outpost for the “Round Table Society.” Liuyu Great Emperor personally recommended Ji Qing for entry into the “Round Table Society,” and the process was simplified.
Ji Qing successfully joined the “Round Table Society.”
“Fellow Daoist Ji, now that you have joined the ‘Round Table Society,’ you must be careful from now on.”
Liuyu Great Emperor departed.
And they both understood that she had done so much for Ji Qing.
Immortal Lord Corpse!
Liuyu Great Emperor’s objective, from beginning to end, was only the Immortal Lord Corpse!
She had simply used a “gentle” approach.
Helping Ji Qing with all her might.
One day, when Ji Qing re-entered the Immortal Lord’s Tomb, it would be time to “repay” Liuyu Great Emperor.
Ji Qing immediately stayed within the “Round Table Society.”
A Great Emperor in a white robe walked over and said with a smile, “You look a bit unfamiliar, are you here at the Round Table Society for the first time?”
“Yes.”
“Since Fellow Daoist was personally recommended to the Round Table Society by Liuyu Great Emperor, your relationship with her must be extraordinary.”
Ji Qing smiled without answering.
The other party was clearly coming because of Liuyu Great Emperor’s reputation.
After all, Liuyu Great Emperor had recently gained considerable fame on the Immortal Path.
The white-robed Great Emperor introduced himself, “I am Star Plucking Emperor. How should I address Fellow Daoist?”
“My honorary title is ‘Supreme’.”
“Supreme Great Emperor? That title is quite remarkable. It seems you were no ordinary Great Emperor in Black Ruins.”
A hint of brilliance flashed in Star Plucking Emperor’s eyes.
The title “Supreme” was not something anyone could have.
A “title” was usually bestowed by others.
And it was widely spread.
This indicated that in Black Ruins, most cultivators felt the person deserved the title “Supreme Great Emperor.”
No wonder Liuyu Great Emperor valued him.
Perhaps he truly possessed something extraordinary.
Thus, Star Plucking Emperor’s tone became even more enthusiastic, “I’m currently gathering with some friends. Would Supreme Fellow Daoist like to join us?”
“It’s more respectful to accept than to refuse.”
Ji Qing nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether Star Plucking Emperor was acting on Liuyu Great Emperor’s behalf, Ji Qing’s goal of integrating into the Round Table Society and gathering secret information would be achieved.
Star Plucking Emperor immediately led Ji Qing into a private room within the restaurant.
While called a private room, it was essentially a small Cave Dwelling.
Several Great Emperors had already gathered inside.
“Oh? Fellow Daoist Zhaixing, who is this…”
Someone asked with confusion.
“This is Supreme Great Emperor! Supreme Fellow Daoist just joined the Round Table Society, and we hit it off immediately, so I brought Supreme Fellow Daoist to meet you all.”
“So it’s Supreme Fellow Daoist. Since you’re here, you’re one of us. Please take a seat.”
Ji Qing and Star Plucking Emperor sat next to each other on Cushions.
Before long, over a dozen more Great Emperors arrived successively.
After a period of polite greetings, a Great Emperor spoke.
“This gathering still follows the old rules: the main purpose is to exchange cultivation experiences, share resources, and discuss the latest news on the Immortal Path. I’ll start the ball rolling. I have a piece of latest news: Morning Light Emperor and a Forbidden Zone Monster had a major fight over a piece of Origin. As a result, Morning Light Emperor was heavily injured and fled in disarray.”
“Morning Light Emperor, I heard his combat power reached eight times Great Emperor, not far from being a Black Ruins Supreme Expert. He was actually defeated by a Forbidden Zone Monster?”
“Those monsters in the Forbidden Zone cannot be judged by common sense…”
Ji Qing listened to the discussions among these Great Emperors.
They all seemed to speak of Forbidden Zone Monsters with great apprehension.
Currently, there were three major forces on the Immortal Path.
Human Race, Demons, and Forbidden Zones.
Ji Qing had never encountered a Forbidden Zone Monster so far.
Therefore, he had no direct understanding of how terrifying Forbidden Zone Monsters truly were.
Then, one by one, the Great Emperors shared various secret messages.
This opened Ji Qing’s eyes.
His understanding of the Immortal Path deepened.
Suddenly, a black-robed Great Emperor spoke, “I have a secret piece of news regarding Chaos Origin. It requires forming a team to contend for it. The strength requirement is at least five times Great Emperor combat power.”
With just this brief statement, the room fell silent. No one spoke.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the black-robed Great Emperor with fervent gazes.
Star Plucking Emperor was the same.
“Mars Emperor, is this true? Can you reveal more specific information…”
But Mars Emperor remained silent.
Everyone’s eyes flickered.
The gathering could no longer continue.
After the meeting dispersed, many Great Emperors immediately approached Mars Emperor.
“Mars Emperor, do you think I’m suitable? My strength is also above five times Great Emperor.”
“Mars Emperor, I’m not bad either. Although I’m only four times Great Emperor, my speed is very fast. Even a ten times Great Emperor might not be able to catch up to me…”
“My combat power is exactly five times Great Emperor…”
All the Great Emperors who had received the news eagerly vied to team up with Mars Emperor.
Mars Emperor said coldly, “Everyone, think carefully. Once you form a team and go, you might die! In fact, the probability of perishing is very high…”
The boisterous voices of the crowd abruptly ceased.
They might die?
And the probability of perishing was very high?
Everyone had a certain understanding of Mars Emperor and knew that he would not speak without reason.
Since Mars Emperor said so, this team-up was likely to be extremely dangerous.
At this moment, Star Plucking Emperor stepped forward.
“I am six times Great Emperor, which should meet your requirements, Fellow Daoist.”
Mars Emperor nodded.
Ji Qing also stepped forward.
“I am… ten times Great Emperor. I should also meet Mars Emperor’s requirements. Count me in for the team!”
“I am… Ten Times Great Emperor Combat Power, which should also meet the requirements of Mars Emperor. Count me in for the team!”
As Ji Qing’s words fell, all eyes immediately focused on him.
“Ten times Great Emperor?”
“Is this Supreme Great Emperor a ten times Great Emperor?”
“A ten times Great Emperor is a Supreme Expert in the Black Ruins. Could this Supreme Great Emperor be a Black Ruins Supreme Expert?”
“How have we never heard of a Black Ruins Supreme Expert before?”
Many Great Emperors clearly understood what “ten times Great Emperor” combat power meant.
That absolutely reached the upper limit of the Black Ruins.
Becoming a Supreme Expert in the Black Ruins was not easy.
Once one became a Black Ruins Supreme Expert, they almost represented the overlord of an era in the Black Ruins.
Such a figure would definitely not be unknown on the Immortal Path.
Only Star Plucking Emperor’s heart churned with stormy seas.
Ten times Great Emperor!
Black Ruins Supreme Expert!
Understood, Star Plucking Emperor completely understood.
No wonder he saw Liuyu Great Emperor personally bring the Supreme Great Emperor to the Round Table Assembly before.
So the Supreme Great Emperor was also a Black Ruins Supreme Expert.
It was known on the Immortal Path that Liuyu Great Emperor was also a Black Ruins Supreme Expert.
Perhaps, Liuyu Great Emperor and the Supreme Great Emperor were both Supreme Experts in the Black Ruins back then and had some acquaintance, which is why their relationship was so good.
Everything added up.
Mars Emperor carefully examined Ji Qing from head to toe, and finally nodded, saying, “If the Supreme Great Emperor is willing to form a team, I naturally welcome it.”
Ji Qing walked over and stood with Star Plucking Emperor.
“Fellow Daoist Supreme, are you a Supreme Expert in the Black Ruins?”
Star Plucking Emperor couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes.”
“Fellow Daoist Star Plucking, you’ve hidden this from me for so long.”
“But Fellow Daoist Star Plucking never asked.”
“This…”
Star Plucking Emperor indeed had not asked.
Mars Emperor recruited two more people, namely Eight Desolations Great Emperor and Ten Thousand Unions Great Emperor. If Ji Qing, Star Plucking Emperor, and Mars Emperor were added, the team would have a total of five Great Emperors.
It was enough.
On the surface, Ji Qing had the highest combat power.
However, Ji Qing faintly felt that all these people had concealed something.
Even Star Plucking Emperor, it was estimated, was definitely more than just a six-times Great Emperor.
Especially Mars Emperor.
Even Ji Qing couldn’t see through him.
Of course, Ji Qing had also concealed his strength.
He was more than ten times Great Emperor, perhaps over a dozen times, perhaps twenty times.
This was also normal; on the Immortal Path, who didn’t have some trump cards?
After confirming the team members, Mars Emperor directly said, “Fellow Daoists, let us all swear with our Dao hearts to jointly abide by the team rules. Members shall not betray each other…”
The so-called “Dao heart” oath, once violated, could lead to the Dao heart becoming dusty, preventing further progress.
Of course, this was not absolute.
Some people were inherently insidious and cunning.
Betrayal was like a common occurrence.
Their Dao hearts would not become dusty at all.
Some people also had ways to resolve a dusty Dao heart.
In short, the binding power of a “Dao heart” oath was generally weak.
Everyone swore with their Dao hearts.
Once the Chaos Origin was contended for, it would be distributed according to contribution.
However, no matter whose contribution was greater, Mars had to first receive one-tenth of the Chaos Origin, because he had provided the news of the Chaos Origin.
The others had no objections.
“Fellow Daoists, to prevent the news from leaking, we depart immediately!”
“Alright.”
Everyone nodded.
Mars Emperor’s news about the Chaos Origin had likely already spread.
But as long as they left immediately, it didn’t matter if the news spread, as no one could find Mars Emperor anyway.
Thus, the five of them immediately left Human Immortal City, and since none of them were ordinary Great Emperors, they immediately began to traverse space.
Traversing space also revealed the strength of one’s cultivation.
Ji Qing possessed the Void Evasion Law and was powerful, so traversing space was easiest for him.
However, among the others, only Mars Emperor was relatively at ease; the other three were more or less struggling and couldn’t keep up with Ji Qing and Mars Emperor.
Finally, Mars Emperor stopped.
“We’ve arrived!”
The five of them immediately emerged from space.
“Boom.”
But as soon as they exited space, they were immediately struck by a terrifying aftershock.
Fortunately, all five of them were strong enough to withstand it.
“Is that… a Demon Emperor? And a Forbidden Zone Monster?”
“Whether it’s a Demon Emperor or a Forbidden Zone Monster, they are at least ten times, or even twenty times Great Emperor combat power… So the Chaos Origin that Fellow Daoist Mars spoke of has already been discovered by this Demon Emperor and Forbidden Zone Monster, and they are now fighting over it. Are we going to be the mantis behind the cicada, and the oriole reaps the benefits?”
“No, we can’t be the oriole; therefore, we are snatching food from the tiger’s mouth!”
Indeed, the five of them could not be the oriole.
Because the moment they appeared, they had already been discovered by that Demon Emperor and the Forbidden Zone Monster.
“Mars Emperor, are we really going to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth from two experts with combat power ten times that of a Great Emperor or more?”
“Of course! I said, it might be deadly…”
Everyone fell silent.
They felt somewhat like they had boarded a pirate ship.
Those were two terrifying experts with combat power exceeding ten times that of a Great Emperor.
Even with their numerical advantage, they wanted to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?
They probably guessed that Mars Emperor had accidentally come here before, learned of the Chaos Origin, and while the Demon Emperor and Forbidden Zone Monster were fighting fiercely, they had no time to deal with him, which is why Mars Emperor escaped.
As for why Mars Emperor didn’t find more Great Emperors with combat power exceeding ten times that of a Great Emperor.
He probably had concerns.
He was afraid of being usurped and then being killed.
The Dao heart oath truly couldn’t be fully trusted.
Therefore, at most, there was only Ji Qing in the team with combat power exceeding ten times that of a Great Emperor.
The rest could also restrain Ji Qing.
Otherwise, Mars Emperor might not have let Ji Qing join the team.
“Everyone, since you’re here, don’t think about running away anymore. The Chaos Origin is right ahead. As long as we can repel the Demon Emperor and the Forbidden Zone Monster, the Chaos Origin will be ours!”
Mars Emperor’s words made everyone’s hearts burn.
Yes, that was the Chaos Origin.
Why had they gone through all this hardship?
Once they obtained the Chaos Origin, it would be equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of years of their gains.
Moreover, two experts with combat power exceeding ten times that of a Great Emperor were not invincible.
So…
“Let’s fight!”
Everyone made up their minds.
At the same time, the Demon Emperor and the Forbidden Zone Monster in the distance also tacitly stopped fighting.
After all, no one was stupid.
If they continued fighting, this group of Great Emperors would truly become “orioles.”
“Clear the area first, then decide the ownership of the Chaos Origin!”
“Agreed!”
The Demon Emperor and the Forbidden Zone Monster immediately reached an agreement.
The two sides stopped fighting and instead joined forces to attack Ji Qing and the four others.
This was the decision made by the Demon Emperor and the Forbidden Zone Monster.
Theoretically, it was feasible.
But in reality, would the Demon Emperor and the Forbidden Zone Monster truly join forces with all their might?
That was impossible.
Everyone intended to hold something back.
They wouldn’t go all out at all.
After all, they had to guard against each other.
If they went all out and suffered heavy losses, even if they killed the five Human Race Great Emperors, they would likely suffer a crushing defeat in the subsequent battle.
In this situation, the Human Race Great Emperors had no reservations.
After all, they were a team.
Now, facing powerful enemies, they were even more united and fought with all their might.
“Demon Emperor, leave him to me! The four of you go and contain that Forbidden Zone Monster.”
Ji Qing spoke.
He had set his sights on a Demon Emperor.
After all, it was a Demon Emperor; killing him would yield Origin Points, so why not?
“Alright, Fellow Daoist Supreme, be careful!”
Thus, Mars Emperor and the other three faced the Forbidden Zone Monster.
Ji Qing alone faced the Demon Emperor.
“A mere Human Race Great Emperor…”
A cold glint flashed in the Demon Emperor’s eyes.
Four Great Emperors to fight the Forbidden Zone Monster, and only one Human Race Great Emperor to deal with him?
Was this underestimating him?
Moreover, this Human Race Great Emperor before him was truly peculiar.
The aura on his body didn’t seem particularly strong.
However, the next moment, Ji Qing unleashed a terrifying aura.
“Grow!”
Ji Qing’s body instantly expanded to hundreds of feet!
At the same time, Ji Qing grasped the Blade of Destruction.
The edge of the Emperor Weapon permeated the void.
“Physical body comparable to a Great Emperor?”
“And an Emperor Weapon?”
“Wait, the law aura on you… more than one kind?”
The Demon Emperor’s heart skipped a beat.
The Human Race Great Emperor before him possessed extremely mixed powers.
But each kind of power was extremely terrifying.
However, this Demon Emperor did not know that the mixed powers of Ji Qing could be completely integrated through “Saber Technique.”
“Clang.”
Ji Qing drew his sword!
This saber strike also gathered six Supreme Laws, and each Supreme Law contained thousands of Law Powers.
This single saber strike alone had genuinely reached the upper limit of the Black Ruins.
A true Supreme Expert!
If the power of the Third-Tier Giant Spirit God Race Physical Body were added, the might of this saber strike would be even more terrifying.
It definitely surpassed ten times Great Emperor combat power.
“Rumble.”
This saber strike descended and fiercely collided with the Demon Emperor’s punch.
Terrifying power surged outwards.
On the Immortal Path, there was no need to worry about shattering the surrounding void.
It was incredibly stable.
Even if the void shattered, it would instantly recover.
“Hmm? You are also a ten times Great Emperor?”
The Demon Emperor’s expression changed slightly.
Ji Qing’s strength was surprisingly no less than his.
However, Ji Qing’s saber slash did not integrate with the Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
He was waiting for an opportunity!
And now, the opportunity had arrived!
The Demon Emperor’s strength was indeed only Ten Times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Since that was the case, Ji Qing no longer hesitated, and the Five Layered Heavenly Domain immediately enveloped the Demon Emperor.
“Buzz.”
A five-colored brilliance flashed on Ji Qing’s body.
Instantly, the Five Layered Heavenly Domain enveloped the Demon Emperor.
Immediately, the Demon Emperor felt as if his entire body was stuck in a quagmire, requiring immense Power to even move.
“What’s going on…”
The Demon Emperor’s heart tightened.
He seemed to sense something bad.
However, Ji Qing’s second saber slash had already come down.
The Five Layered Heavenly Domain bound the Demon Emperor, making him like a live target, completely unable to defend.
He could only withstand Ji Qing’s saber slash with his Physical Body.
It turned out that although the Demon Emperor’s Physical Body was strong, it could not withstand Ji Qing’s saber slash.
“Pfft.”
Ji Qing’s saber slash directly cut the Demon Emperor’s Physical Body in half.
Moreover, terrifying annihilation Power rapidly annihilated the Demon Emperor’s Physical Body.
“Ah…”
The Demon Emperor cried out in agony.
Desperately, he tried to struggle and escape the Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
But having entered the Five Layered Heavenly Domain, even in his Peak state he couldn’t escape, let alone now being cut in half by Ji Qing.
In just a moment, the Demon Emperor’s Physical Body completely turned to dust.
Dead!
A Demon Emperor comparable to a Supreme Expert had died just like this!
And it was Ji Qing who killed him alone!
Ji Qing gained another trillion Origin Points, which indicated that this Demon Emperor was truly dead.
“Hoo…”
Ji Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there was still one Forbidden Zone Monster.
Ji Qing immediately turned his gaze to Mars Emperor, Star Plucking Emperor, and the others.
To Ji Qing’s great surprise.
Of the original four, there were now only two?
Two Great Emperors had fallen.
How was this possible?
Even with Ten Times Great Emperor Combat Power, it would be difficult for that Forbidden Zone Monster to kill two Great Emperors in such a short time.
But the fact was, those two Great Emperors were dead.
Only Star Plucking Emperor and Mars Emperor remained, struggling to hold on.
“Supreme Great Emperor, quickly come and lend us a hand, we can’t hold on much longer…”
Star Plucking Emperor shouted with difficulty.
Ji Qing took a step forward, instantly approaching the Forbidden Zone Monster.
When Ji Qing got a clear look at the Forbidden Zone Monster, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
A spine-chilling feeling arose from the depths of his heart.
Ji Qing finally understood why those experts in the Forbidden Zone were called monsters.
It was truly… disgusting!
An extremely Evil aura emanated from the monster.
The opponent was sticky all over, like a giant octopus with countless tentacles.
If the tentacles were blown up, they could quickly transform into small “octopuses,” making them pervasive and very troublesome.
This Forbidden Zone Monster was not afraid of being besieged at all,
and in fact, the more people there were, the harder it was to kill the Forbidden Zone Monster.
This was why, when four people besieged the Forbidden Zone Monster, two Great Emperors were killed instead.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing immediately Drew Sword!
And with this saber slash, Ji Qing held nothing back, even integrating the Five Layered Heavenly Domain into his Saber Technique.
This was a fusion of eleven Supreme Laws, with each Supreme Law containing thousands of Law Power.
Furthermore, it was driven by the Physical Body of a Third-Tier Giant Spirit God Race!
This was Ji Qing’s most Peak saber slash!
