Immortal Martial Emperor

RUMBLE!

The Ice Dragon Gloves on Blood Cyan Robe’s hands pulsed with an ice-blue brilliance, and a Frost Dragon Soul suddenly burst forth.

It condensed into an Ice Soul Dragon Body, twisting its massive form as it charged toward Hong Yu.

Blood-red patterns gathered on its draconic body, emitting terrifyingly powerful energy fluctuations.

On the other side, Landy’s assault was just as swift and fierce.

Before Blood Cyan Robe had fully unleashed his Celestial Blood Demon Scripture, Landy’s combat power had even surpassed his. He, too, possessed a powerful trump card from his Royal Family.

Now, in order to kill Hong Yu in one fell swoop, he ruthlessly played that card.

As he struck, a vast, translucent golden light erupted, and a frenzied golden dragon twisted its violent body.

The void trembled with the shockwave, and the air rang with a series of thunderous explosions.

The two True Dragon Prodigies were attacking with the intent to kill Hong Yu, so they held nothing back, unleashing their full power.

Facing such an onslaught while trapped by the Blood Prison’s restraints, Hong Yu found it extremely difficult to even move.

He could only watch as the two powerful attacks were about to descend upon him.

A sharp glint flickered in Hong Yu’s eyes, his thoughts unreadable.

Instead, it was Xu Wudi, who was in the middle of refining her True Dragon Martial Fortune, whose expression changed drastically. Her eyes filled with killing intent as she roared furiously, "Blood Cyan Robe, Landy, you’re despicable!"

Blood Cyan Robe chuckled coldly. "Despicable? In my dictionary, ’despicable’ is the motto for success!"

Landy’s eyes were just as cold. "Hong Yu killed a powerhouse from my Royal Family. His crime is punishable by death!"

"Damn you, stop!"

Xu Wudi struck out in anger.

Landy snorted, feeling particularly incensed.

He had pursued Xu Wudi for a long time, but she had always treated him coldly. The fact that she was now attacking him for Hong Yu’s sake infuriated him.

Snorting, he said angrily, "Xu Wudi, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to strike you?"

Xu Wudi ignored Landy completely. "If you dare to harm Hong Yu, I’ll dare to strike you!"

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Landy flew into a humiliated rage. The woman he had loved for years was treating him this way for a man she had just met. How could he stand it? "You shameless bitch! Today, not only will I kill Hong Yu, but I’ll also make you submit beneath me, to do with as I please!"

With that, Landy violently swung out an ice-blue rope.

"Huh? The Ice Cover Lock?"

A flicker of recognition appeared in Blood Cyan Robe’s eyes.

’The Ice Cover Lock is a Treasure of the Ice Kingdom’s Royal Family, a Fifth-grade Advanced Primordial Weapon. Its attack power isn’t high, but it has five whole Seal Inscriptions.’

’Any powerhouse bound by the Ice Cover Lock, even a Primordial Spirit Realm expert, will lose all their combat strength and be captured without a fight!’

"Damn it, get away from me!" Xu Wudi roared repeatedly.

But the Ice Cover Lock was simply too powerful!

Unsurprisingly, Xu Wudi was bound by the Ice Cover Lock, unable to move. She lay on the ground like a mummy, her eyes glaring at Landy with fury and resentment.

This only fueled the jealousy in Landy’s heart. Humiliated and enraged, he couldn’t even be bothered to maintain his usual aloof and superior facade. "You fucking bitch! I’m going to break you today!"

Watching Landy approach Xu Wudi with a savage smirk, Hong Yu, still bound within the Blood Prison, snapped his eyes open.

A chilling light erupted from his gaze. His ice-cold eyes shot out pinpricks of frost as his grim voice echoed across the sky, "Landy, if you dare touch her, I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Heheheh, you’re already a fish on the chopping block for us to slaughter. How are you going to make me regret anything?" Landy scoffed, utterly unrestrained.

Blood Cyan Robe also sneered, "You can’t even save yourself, and you want to worry about someone else?"

But Hong Yu didn’t answer. He simply raised his eyes slightly to look at the two fierce attacks rushing toward him.

WHOOSH!

He took a sharp, deep breath.

The Spiritual Qi in the air gathered into a surging current and poured into his nose and mouth.

At that same moment, Hong Yu’s eyes flew wide. A blue light flared in his left eye, where a Star River slowly began to revolve. The ice-blue glow carried an immense spiritual pressure.

"Pupil Technique: Heaven-Filling!"

Hong Yu softly uttered the words.

Pupil Technique: Heaven-Filling!

This was an absolutely heart-stoppingly powerful Secret Technique, one that could affect even a powerhouse’s Soul.

Under this Heaven-Filling assault, even with Blood Cyan Robe’s solid Martial Arts Heart, he still fell into a momentary daze.

Although he quickly came to his senses, when he looked toward Hong Yu, he was suddenly stunned. ’What’s going on? Where’s Hong Yu?’

In the area being swept by the two Energy Long Dragons, there was no sign of Hong Yu at all.

「The next moment...」

Blood Cyan Robe spun around just in time to see a figure suddenly appear behind Landy—who was smirking as he prepared to lay his filthy hands on Xu Wudi. It was none other than Hong Yu, who had just mysteriously vanished!

"Damn it! Landy, behind you!" Blood Cyan Robe roared.

"Huh?"

Landy turned around, bewildered.

He didn’t see Blood Cyan Robe. Instead, his eyes fell upon the frost-faced Hong Yu.

"Y-You! How did you get here?" Landy stammered in shock and anger.

Hong Yu, however, just gave a cold smile. "I’m here to take your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Yu struck without hesitation. A thunderous Palm Light shot toward Landy’s back.

Landy’s Heart Spirit trembled; he could feel Hong Yu’s determination to kill him.

He immediately tried to dodge to the side.

However, just as he landed, steadied himself, and caught his breath, he suddenly felt a terrifying energy fluctuation from his side. Landy’s face paled in horror. "How is that possible? How are you so fast?"

But the situation didn’t give him time to think.

BOOM!

The palm, crackling with lightning, landed squarely on his body.

"WAH!"

Landy spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying, crashing heavily into the glacier.

He staggered to his feet, his right arm hanging limply at his side. He was disheveled and in a pathetic state.

Beyond the venom in his eyes, there was mostly shock. ’H-How is he so fast?’

Hong Yu didn’t press the attack to kill. He flashed back to Xu Wudi’s side, and with a frown, he scanned the Ice Cover Lock, thoroughly examining the Spirit Array Runes within it.

A cold smirk touched his lips. "Five Binding Runes? Although they provide restraining power, they greatly reduce the Ice Cover Lock’s durability. What a flaw!"

As he spoke, Hong Yu’s hands formed a Seal Technique.

With a tremor, the Spirit Array Runes crumbled into dust.

CLATTER!

Hong Yu collected the Ice Cover Lock into his Storage Ring.

This made Landy’s eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. That was the life-saving trump card his Uncle Wang had given him!

He looked at Hong Yu furiously. "Hong Yu, give me back the Ice Cover Lock! Otherwise, you’ll be making an enemy of the entire Ice Kingdom!"

Hong Yu glanced at him and sneered disdainfully. "This is my spoil of war. You want it? Fine. Take out a worthy Treasure to trade for it!"

"You..."

Landy’s face was ashen, a trace of resentment and unwillingness in his eyes.

But Hong Yu just laughed coldly. "If you don’t have the skills, don’t come out here and embarrass yourself!"

Then, Hong Yu turned to the pensive-looking Blood Cyan Robe.

Under Hong Yu’s gaze—cold, yet as profound as a vast sea of stars—Blood Cyan Robe felt a shiver run through his soul. It was like being stared at by the Death God himself.

Looking again at the pathetic Landy, who was still coughing up blood, a flicker of uncertainty passed through Blood Cyan Robe’s eyes.

He secretly calculated, ’Even the Blood Prison couldn’t restrain Hong Yu. With my current strength, I can’t deal with him at all. I should leave this place for now and head to the Seventh Layer to explore that treasure site. With the two Treasure Maps I have, I should be able to gain a lot.’

He shot a resentful glare at Hong Yu, his eyes flashing with grim determination. "Hong Yu, enjoy your moment of triumph. Just you wait. The next time we meet, I will repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold!"

「The next moment...」

Without another word, he turned and fled into the distance.

His speed was so great that it was no less than Hong Yu’s without using Electric Flash.

Hong Yu didn’t give chase. Instead, he quietly watched the figure recede into the distance before a playful smile curved his lips as he turned his gaze to Landy.

Even though Hong Yu said nothing, Landy felt as if he were in the perilous depths of the Nine Netherworld, on the verge of death at any moment.

Though unwilling to accept it, seeing that even Blood Cyan Robe had fled in disgrace, Landy also had the thought to retreat. He shot Hong Yu a cold glare and left a parting threat, "Hong Yu, just you wait. The next time we meet, I will definitely take your life and wash away today’s shame!"

After speaking, as if terrified that Hong Yu would strike, he turned and fled wildly.

With the two great True Dragons having fled in disarray, Hong Yu did not pursue them.

For one, he would soon be heading to the Profound Ice Secret Realm, which required going through the Ice Kingdom’s Royal Family, so it wasn’t wise to offend them too deeply.

For another, he was well aware that although he had the upper hand, he had already used Electric Flash three times and couldn’t use it again for a short while.

If Blood Cyan Robe were to use the Blood Prison to bind him again, he would be a sitting duck. That wouldn’t be a wise move.

Besides, Hong Yu had something more important to accomplish right now!

"Wudi, you rest here for a bit. I need to use the last of my time to plunder more True Dragon Martial Fortune!" Hong Yu instructed.

Xu Wudi nodded.

Then, Hong Yu flew up and charged toward the sky full of Demon Shadows.

The Demon Shadows’ only target was the Martial Ice Soul, so they hadn’t participated in the battle between Hong Yu and the others. Also, while the recent events seemed to take a long time, they had actually only lasted about ten minutes.

This meant Hong Yu still had about ten minutes left to plunder True Dragon Martial Fortune.

This time, without Xu Wudi to hold him back, Hong Yu’s speed at hunting Demon Shadows increased several times over.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

The Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique swept through crazily. The Demon Shadows exploded one after another; they couldn’t even withstand a single blow from Hong Yu’s Spiritual Power.

The clumps of True Dragon Martial Fortune weren’t large individually, but there were simply too many of them.

When the ten minutes were up, Hong Yu had already slaughtered another three to four hundred Demon Shadows, and his True Dragon Martial Fortune had grown by another three zhang.

’I wonder how high my True Dragon Martial Fortune is now!’ Hong Yu thought with curiosity.

He took a sudden deep breath, and the Martial Fortune Tower slowly materialized behind him.

What was originally a fifteen-zhang True Dragon Martial Fortune had now reached a terrifying twenty-three zhang.

This meant Hong Yu had increased his True Dragon Martial Fortune by a full eight zhang in the Ancient Ice Glacier. At fifteen zhang, he was comparable to a Third Transformation Heavenly True Dragon. Now, at twenty-three zhang, Hong Yu had already reached the True Dragon Realm of the Fourth Transformation Heaven Realm.

As a True Dragon Demon Fiend at the Fourth Transformation Heaven Realm while at the Peak of the Primordial Core Realm, his combat power was enough to easily kill a Late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm Powerhouse.

"Excellent! With a twenty-three-zhang Martial Fortune Tower, the gap between me and Hai Cangtian has narrowed once again! The most important thing now is to fuse my True Martial Arts Intent as soon as possible, form my own path, and finally break through to the Primordial Embryo Realm!"

’Once I break through to the Primordial Embryo Realm, my combat power will be enough to sweep through all other Primordial Embryo Realm Powerhouses. I could even fight against a Primordial Spirit Realm expert.’

Just the thought of it made Hong Yu incredibly excited.

Putting away his Martial Fortune Tower, Hong Yu walked over to Xu Wudi.

Xu Wudi said, "Blood Cyan Robe and Landy have probably gone to the treasure site on the Seventh Layer. Should we leave? Or should we go and investigate?"

"What kind of treasure site is it, exactly?" Hong Yu asked.

At the mention of the treasure site on the Seventh Layer, Xu Wudi’s eyes lit up with ecstatic excitement. Her pretty face flushed as she began to explain slowly.

"It’s a place where..."
