His deep pupils brimmed with killing intent,
The soul fire between his eyebrows blazed fiercely,
As if declaring his fury.
Behind him, a spirit cave hovered,
From which powerful spirit beasts emitted low growls -
This was unmistakably a Beast Tamer Martial Emperor.
"Of course the Chu family's Demon Emperor must be eradicated, but are you all unaware of our current situation?"
"Our full-scale battle with the forbidden land 'Chrono Cave' has already begun! Even the Sacred Realm may dispatch experts surpassing Emperor-tier!"
"How can we afford distractions at such a time?"
Another Martial Emperor spoke gravely.Compared to some minor Demon Emperor,
They cared more about the forbidden land.
To them,
Annihilation was but a snap of fingers,
No matter how many Demon Emperors stood in their way.
Only their current war with the forbidden land
Left them no capacity for other matters!
"Hmph, you all know Sacred Realm experts will descend. If they arrive to find the Mortal Realm we govern in such chaos, do you think they'll spare us for our negligence?"
The Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor said darkly.
All Martial Emperor hearts trembled -
If Sacred Realm experts truly discovered the Mortal Realm slipping from control,
The consequences would be unbearable.
"Very well. Then leave the Chu family's Demon Emperor to you. You can handle it, yes?"
An elderly Martial Emperor spoke solemnly.
"Hahaha! Of course! Rest assured, I'll capture that Chu family Demon Emperor alive for your judgment!"
Hearing permission to head for Qian Region,
The Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor grinned widely.
"Hmph, don't think we're blind to your schemes. You want to contract that Chu family Demon Emperor, don't you?"
"Hahaha! What's wrong with that?"
"After all, I am a Beast Tamer!"
The Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor departed laughing.
Since the Chu family's Demon Emperor could slay Martial Emperor Chi Mie,
His strength undoubtedly reached mid-stage Demon Emperor or higher -
Perfect material for a spirit beast.
Other Martial Emperors acknowledged his capability too,
Given he'd contracted not one or two Emperor-tier spirit beasts.
At full strength,
No Emperor-tier opponent could best him!
Leaving Hell's Gate headquarters,
The Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor summoned his nurtured Demon Emperor spirit beast - the Netherfire Raven -
From his spirit cave,
Soaring toward Qian Region!
He made no effort to conceal his aura along the way,
Alerting numerous major powers.
"Is that the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor?"
"Gasp! That Martial Emperor has mobilized! A veteran of Hell's Gate who's contracted multiple Emperor-tier spirit beasts, with personal cultivation at the terrifying peak Martial Emperor realm - practically one of Hell's Gate's strongest!"
"With him taking action, the Chu family Demon Emperor's doom is sealed!"
"Hmph! All who defy Hell's Gate deserve death!"
"..."
Saint-grade factions recognized that aura,
Shocked beyond measure.
Mobilizing an invincible peak Martial Emperor -
Hell's Gate was finally getting serious!
"Hmph, I hope that troublesome branch family gets thoroughly eradicated, or I'll never rest easy!"
Chu Dingtian of Cang Region's Chu family said coldly,
Eagerly anticipating the Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor's swift execution of the so-called Chu family Demon Emperor and annihilation of that rebellious bloodline.
Otherwise, he feared the conflict might spread to their Chu family.
"Watch closely, juniors! See the fate awaiting those who oppose Hell's Gate!"
Elders from various factions lectured their youths,
Warning them against future foolish provocations.
At this moment,
Nearly half the Mortal Realm's gaze focused on Qian Region,
All awaiting the cataclysmic retribution about to befall the family that dared kill a Hell's Gate Martial Emperor.
......
Absorbing all five sacred sects' legacies,
The Chu family's resources ballooned astronomically overnight.
"With these Essence Stones, we can operate the Chrono Pagoda much longer!"
Chu Jingyue exclaimed excitedly.
Last time's one-month activation of just the first layer
Had already given participating clansmen a taste of its benefits.
Now with resources plundered from five sacred lands,
They could access higher layers for extended periods.
Their family's power would skyrocket.
Chu Jingyue immediately tasked elders with planning Chrono Pagoda allocations -
Including elixir distributions during accelerated time cultivation.
With temporal acceleration plus elixirs,
He couldn't fathom
How drastically their strength would grow.
"Clan leader, I suggest encouraging clansmen to temper themselves in the Heart Refining Pagoda first to seize its opportunities!"
"This way, they can digest those gains during Chrono Pagoda activation while awaiting members still obtaining legacies in sacred lands - killing two birds with one stone!"
Elder Chu Hongxiao proposed.
Some clansmen remained in sacred land inheritance sites,
And those securing legacies
Were all elite talents.
If not now,
Then certainly future pillars!
"Sound advice. Urge all eligible clansmen to enter the Heart Refining Pagoda immediately!"
Chu Jingyue nodded,
For its opportunities were truly heaven-defying!
Not just physique and martial spirit evolution pills,
But Saint-grade physiques and martial soul origins,
Even breakthrough elixirs -
Any single item could shake the world.
As Chu Jingyue and elders deliberated,
A terrifying aura like celestial oceans approached Qian Region,
Silencing all life in its wake!
The Mortal Realm's vastness meant
Even Martial Emperors couldn't instantly traverse from Heavenly Region to Qian Region.
Within Dragon Emperor Palace,
Long Yuan opened his eyes,
Glancing toward the approaching Ten Thousand Beasts Martial Emperor -
Just one indifferent look.
Some peak Martial Emperor wasn't worth his attention.
Nowadays,
Only god-tier beings merited his regard!
"Pity the Chu family lacks Emperor-tier experts - this would've made fine practice!"
Chu Yunling remained at Desolate God Pavilion with Golden Saint Elder,
Otherwise she could've gained valuable combat experience!
"Never mind. Let the Golden Saint Elder practice instead!"
Long Yuan finally decided.
Such opportunities shouldn't be wasted!
Chu Yunling and Golden Saint Elder sat meditating outside Desolate God Pavilion awaiting Chu Huang's emergence,
When a black vortex suddenly appeared before them.
Long Yuan's voice emerged:
"An Emperor-tier expert approaches our Chu family."
Chu Yunling narrowed her eyes.
"That would be Hell's Gate!"
"So they're truly panicking now. Which Martial Emperor comes?"
Golden Saint Elder asked gravely.
"Heh, whichever matters not. Didn't you hear Beast God's command? You're to spar with this Emperor-tier foe for experience - meaning no real danger!"
"And even if danger arises, with Beast God watching, what's there to fear?"
Chu Yunling said serenely.
