Immortal Martial Emperor

Profound Ice Valley.

This place, widely recognized as a Martial Arts Holy Land within the Profound Ice Secret Realm, was now a scene of utter devastation.

Broken ramparts and shattered walls lay everywhere, and collapsed ice peaks were strewn across the landscape.

Chaotic fluctuations of energy filled the entire Profound Ice Valley. The lingering power was so intense it made one’s heart tremble, scaring away any Martial Artists with weaker cultivation from even approaching.

Fresh blood welled up in Meng Chenggong’s mouth.

After failing in their first clash, he had forced his grievously wounded body to keep fighting.

Now, after dozens of exchanges, even someone as powerful as Meng Chenggong was once again severely injured under Blood Wen’s relentless bombardment.

He leaned wretchedly against an ice peak.

The biting cold seeping into his back was no match for the desolation in his heart.

As he looked out, he saw that in the great battle that had just taken place, more than half of the Ice Kingdom’s experts had been killed or wounded.

Corpses were everywhere. Rivers of blood flowed amidst severed limbs and mangled bodies.

Many of them were powerful soldiers and generals he had personally trained, yet none had escaped death.

Crown Prince Landy’s figure was drenched in blood.

Fresh blood trickled from his seven orifices. His Lifebound Primordial Weapon had suffered a devastating blow from Blood Wen’s repeated attacks, and the backlash had injured Landy himself. His condition was no better than Meng Chenggong’s.

Several Deputy Generals were already dead.

One had been beaten to a pulp, his head and limbs indistinguishable. Another had been impaled, pinned to an ice peak, his body already covered in frost.

The eyes of the two men were filled with nothing but confusion and despair.

Meng Chenggong gave a bitter smile and looked at Landy. "My apologies, Crown Prince. I have dragged you down."

Landy shook his head and said with difficulty, "Grand General, you mustn’t say that. With Blood Wen’s ambition and power, even if this battle hadn’t happened, I fear the Blood Demon Palace would have rebelled once we returned to the Kingdom anyway... It’s just a shame we couldn’t stop that demon."

"Blood Wen is too powerful now. He already has one foot in the Primordial Spirit Realm. It’s only a matter of time before he truly breaks through. Once he enters the Primordial Spirit Realm, that will be the end of the Ice Kingdom!"

Meng Chenggong said, his voice filled with resentment and helplessness.

Once Blood Wen broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, no one in the entire Ice Kingdom would be his match.

At that time... with Blood Wen’s ambition and ruthless methods, the entire Ice Kingdom would face a great reshuffling—or rather, a brutal massacre!

As the Grand General of the Ice Kingdom’s armies, Meng Chenggong had sheltered this nation, fighting his entire life to protect his home and country, shedding countless drops of blood and sweat.

How could he bear to watch the Ice Kingdom he had worked so hard to protect fall to ruin?

But alas... he no longer had the strength to even lift a finger.

"Oh no! Young Master Yeban and Chenxi are about to be defeated!" Crown Prince Landy’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

High in the air!

Young Master Yeban floated mid-air, nine powerful dragons of light roaring and coiling around him. The nine light dragons moved with the wind, guided by his immense Spiritual Power as they charged swiftly toward Blood Wen.

Little Chenxi, cradled in his arms, also had a small frown on her face.

Though still young, having only grown to the size of a two-year-old child after receiving the inheritance from the Crystal Palace, every swing of her arm unleashed streams of blue light.

This blue light carried an extreme, bone-chilling cold.

Wherever it passed, the very air seemed to condense and turn to frost.

The two of them weren’t clashing head-on with Blood Wen, instead choosing the wiser strategy of entanglement and defense.

Their plan had always been to stall for time.

Under their combined assault, Blood Wen found it difficult to break through their defenses and escape their harassment for a time.

A frigid glint flickered in his eyes as Blood Wen snorted coldly. "Pesky cockroaches. Since you insist on courting death by resisting me, then I shall grant your wish!"

As soon as his voice fell, the Immortal Blood Emperor behind him let out a low roar.

The Great Seal of the "Lord of Fengdu" condensed out of thin air once more.

This Seal was immensely powerful, and it pressed down toward Young Master Yeban and Little Chenxi.

’Damn it, it’s the Seal of the Lord of Fengdu! This move is incredibly hard to block!’

Young Master Yeban glanced at the wretched figures of Landy and Meng Chenggong behind him and thought grimly, ’I have to block this attack. Otherwise, even if we dodge it, Landy and Grand General Meng won’t be able to withstand it!’

A trace of anxiety appeared on Little Chenxi’s delicate, doll-like face. ’Brother Hongyu, you have to come back soon!’

Young Master Yeban’s gaze was incredibly grim. "Little Chenxi, in a moment, use all your strength to activate the Cyan Dragon Rune. Have it help weaken the Seal’s power, and then I’ll attack it with everything I’ve got!"

"Okay!"

Little Chenxi nodded seriously.

As she swung her arm, the cyan dragon shadow coiled around it unleashed torrents of frigid, cyan energy.

The torrents coalesced into a cyan Ice Dragon and charged forward.

"BOOM!"

Although the Ice Dragon was powerful, Little Chenxi was simply too young.

She was completely unable to fully wield the power from the Cyan Celestial Flood Dragon’s inheritance.

With an earth-shattering explosion, the cyan Ice Dragon instantly burst apart. The Seal imprinted with "Lord of Fengdu" then broke through the first layer of defense. Though its speed had been reduced, the power it contained hadn’t weakened in the slightest.

"WAH!"

As the Ice Dragon shattered, Little Chenxi cried out in pain.

Cracks appeared on her fair arm—a backlash from the trauma inflicted upon the Cyan Heaven Dragon Pattern, making it almost impossible for her to lift her arm.

"Little Chenxi, are you alright?" Young Master Yeban asked hurriedly.

Little Chenxi bit her lip, stubbornly shaking her head with tears welling in her eyes. "I-I’m fine, Brother Yeban. You don’t have to worry about me!"

Young Master Yeban’s eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with fury.

A hideous, bloody fissure now covered Little Chenxi’s right hand. How could she possibly be fine?

But the kind and sensible Little Chenxi didn’t want him to worry or be distracted, so she pretended to be strong, as if she hadn’t been injured at all.

Young Master Yeban gritted his teeth and glared at Blood Wen. "Damn you, demon! I’ll fight you to the death today!"

"Hahaha! Just the two of you? No matter how brightly a firefly glows, it can never compare to the radiant sun!"

Blood Wen was brimming with confidence. He let out a cold, booming roar, his voice nearly shattering eardrums and leaving them ringing. "Today, I will slaughter every last one of you."

"Lord of Fengdu, the Seal is invincible! Annihilate everything!"

Blood Wen frantically activated the Celestial Blood Demon Scripture.

Crimson Primordial Gang’s Power, like fresh blood, surged out from his body.

It coiled around Blood Wen’s body again and again, like a spiraling, blood-red dragon.

Then... the Immortal Blood Emperor behind him seemed like a thirsty traveler who had just found a sweet spring.

Two blood-red skulls pulsed within its eyes, and an aura that could dominate heaven and earth erupted from it. Its eyes, like torches, blazed with a brilliant divine light.

The Immortal Blood Emperor stared at Young Master Yeban and slowly uttered a single word that seemed to echo across countless eons: "Die!"

"BUZZ!"

A dripping, blood-red character for "Death," looking as if it were formed from minced flesh and corpses, grew larger and larger as it merged with the Seal of the "Lord of Fengdu."

After this double enhancement,

the Seal of the Lord of Fengdu swelled even more, growing to three times its original size.

It was truly like a majestic mountain crashing down from the sky.

"Damn it! Block it! Block it!"

Young Master Yeban roared again and again.

He frantically channeled his Spiritual Power, even activating the Secret Technique he had obtained in the Crystal Palace. Golden light swirled behind him, forming a sphere of brilliance, like a golden sun.

The golden light was dazzlingly clear!

Young Master Yeban took a deep breath and bellowed, "Demon Dragon Storm!"

"RUMBLE!"

The pair of Spiritual Power Primordial Weapons at Young Master Yeban’s feet shot out simultaneously.

They twisted and transformed in the void, guided by his Spiritual Power, coalescing into a ferocious, golden dragon.

This dragon’s body was immense, a full hundred meters long.

The great dragon twisted its body and charged toward the Seal imprinted with "Lord of Fengdu."

The sight was like a Violent Dragon charging a mountain peak.

"RUMBLE!"

A terrifying light instantly illuminated a swath of the heavens.

The azure sky instantly became a world of gold and blood-red. It seemed as if even the sun itself would shrink back from such a terrifying radiance. The other experts engaged in the chaotic battle within the Profound Ice Valley were also stunned by the light, and they all stopped their attacks to look up at the sky.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Three more terrifying explosions roared in succession.

With the point of impact as the epicenter, a terrifying ring of energy erupted outwards in all directions.

Wherever it passed, nothing was left standing; everything was turned to dust!

The explosion’s shockwave spread for a full kilometer!

Within the blast radius, ice peaks crumbled, the ground sank, and countless experts lost their lives in this one exchange.

’D-Did I block it?’

Young Master Yeban frowned slightly, his aura incredibly weak.

Completely unleashing his Spiritual Power had consumed a tremendous amount of energy.

The strain on him was immeasurable. Right now, Young Master Yeban didn’t even have one percent of his strength left.

However, just as he was catching his breath, a blood-red seal of light shot out from the terrifying radiance in the sky, continuing its charge as if nothing could stop it.

Even though the Seal of the "Lord of Fengdu" had lost its former dazzling brilliance, in Young Master Yeban’s current state, it was still impossible for him to block this attack.

Behind him, Crown Prince Landy and Grand General Meng Chenggong’s faces were also masks of utter despair.

Without Young Master Yeban to block for them, they were completely exposed to the attack range of the "Lord of Fengdu" Seal.

With the Seal’s terrifying power, if they were hit, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

"Is this battle destined to be a loss?"

"Alas, I have failed the Kingdom and the Royal Family!"

"Don’t say that, Grand General. Once we die, the Soul Jade Plates we left in the Royal Palace will shatter. Father will surely be alerted and can make preparations in secret!"

"Make preparations? Blood Wen is so powerful. Who in the Ice Kingdom can possibly stop his slaughter?"

Meng Chenggong gave another bitter smile.

Young Master Yeban tried to dodge, but he found that his body wouldn’t move. He was so weak he couldn’t even maintain his flight, and he began to fall toward the ground.

The "Lord of Fengdu" Seal accelerated.

It was about to completely engulf Young Master Yeban, Little Chenxi, and the others.

A ferocious and vengeful glee spread across Blood Wen’s face.

However, at that critical moment, the void suddenly trembled like ripples on water, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Young Master Yeban, a faint cyan light swirling around his right arm. Then came a familiar voice: "Don’t be afraid. I’m back!"
