Immortal Martial Emperor

Blood Cyan Robe, Landy, and the three powerhouses from the Royal Family.

Each was a top-tier master from the Ice Kingdom. When Blood Cyan Robe and Landy joined forces, they could practically sweep through the entire Primordial Embryo Realm.

The assault from such a large and powerful group was truly enough to drain the color from the heavens and earth, to shatter glaciers.

A terrifying aura emanating from the two of them shrouded Hong Yu.

"Hm?"

Hong Yu seemed to sense something. His expression faltered, and he stopped hunting the Demon Shadows to look toward Landy and the others.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Landy, Blood Cyan Robe, and the other three—five in total—appeared a dozen or so meters away. They stood proudly in the void, staring at Hong Yu and Xu Wudi.

At this moment, Hong Yu and Xu Wudi’s cultivation hadn’t changed. In fact, due to continuously using Spiritual Attacks, Hong Yu’s aura was even a bit chaotic. Yet, Landy and Blood Cyan Robe could still feel a subtle change in the two of them.

This wasn’t a rise in their realm or some superficial change.

It was a fundamental transformation.

Before this...

Although Hong Yu and Xu Wudi had always felt extraordinary, in the minds of prodigies like Blood Cyan Robe and Landy, their strength was still within an acceptable and clearly perceptible range.

But now, a subtle change had occurred within Hong Yu and Xu Wudi.

The most direct feeling this change gave off was that they were impossible to see through!

They were unfathomable!

’What in the world happened to them? Why is there such a change?’

Blood Cyan Robe and Landy exchanged glances, each seeing the gravity and doubt in the other’s eyes.

Xu Wudi’s fine brows knitted together.

She had been immersed in the pleasure of crazily devouring the True Dragon Martial Fortune, so being inexplicably disturbed didn’t sit well with her. She snorted coldly. "Blood Cyan Robe, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we’ve stayed out of each other’s way. Why have you come here in such force?"

"This..."

Landy’s expression changed slightly. He was a bit embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.

Even though he had decided to seize the True Dragon Martial Fortune...

...as the dignified Crown Prince of a kingdom, he couldn’t just act like a common thug and say, ’I can’t hunt the True Dragon Martial Fortune as fast as you, so I’m here to rob you, right?’ He couldn’t afford such a loss of face!

Just as Landy was trying to think of a grand-sounding excuse,

Blood Cyan Robe had already spoken with a cold sneer, "Stayed out of each other’s way? Hmph, the Crown Prince and I worked our fingers to the bone to hunt a mere dozen or so Martial Ice Souls, while you two are over here fishing in troubled waters and stealing the greatest benefits. We came here to make you hand over your method for killing the Demon Shadows!"

Hong Yu’s expression was strange. "..."

Xu Wudi rolled up her sleeves. "..."

Landy blushed slightly.

He wanted to dig a hole and hide; he simply couldn’t face the words Blood Cyan Robe had just spoken.

But when he thought about their terrifying speed at dealing with the Demon Shadows and hunting the True Dragon Martial Fortune, Landy could only pinch his nose and accept it.

He and Blood Cyan Robe had tried to attack these Demon Shadows before, but the shadows were completely immune to Primordial Gang attacks. Seeing that the torrent of Ice Souls was about to disappear, Landy had grown anxious.

Xu Wudi glared at Blood Cyan Robe and sneered, "Blood Cyan Robe, you really are shameless! You yourself just said it was ’to each their own.’ Your targets were the Martial Ice Souls directly. Did I or Hong Yu ever fight you for a single one? Now you see that we’re hunting Martial Fortune faster than you, and you’ve gotten jealous?"

"Hmph, Xu Wudi, you defeated foe, shut your mouth!"

Blood Cyan Robe snapped coldly, then looked at Hong Yu, an icy glint in his eyes. "Hong Yu, hurry up and hand over the method for hunting the Demon Shadows. If you do, we can all go our separate ways peacefully. Otherwise, with Landy and me working together, the two of you won’t even be able to save your own lives!"

"You..."

Xu Wudi flew into a rage. Her beautiful eyes filled with killing intent as she was about to curse them out.

Hong Yu stopped Xu Wudi, smiled faintly, and looked at Blood Cyan Robe. "You want the method to hunt Demon Shadows?"

"That’s right. I’ve already tried. These Demon Shadows are immune to normal attacks; they can only be defeated with Spiritual Power. However, even with my Spiritual Power at the Early-stage Primordial Embryo Realm, I find it difficult to achieve Annihilation. Yet you can do it with ease."

As he spoke, a trace of greed and fervor surged in Blood Cyan Robe’s eyes. "I know you have a special Secret Technique. As long as you give it to me, I guarantee I won’t attack you before we leave the Ice Tower. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, you’ll take it by force, is that it?" Hong Yu asked.

Blood Cyan Robe’s cold sneer was his answer.

Hong Yu said, "Oh," then looked at Landy. "Crown Prince Landy, do you feel the same way?"

Landy’s eyebrow twitched slightly before he nodded. "Hong Yu, hand over the Secret Technique. No matter how precious a Secret Technique is, you have to be alive to use it. No matter how powerful the True Dragon Martial Fortune is, you have to be alive to enjoy it. Don’t be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Don’t throw your life away just because your selfishness prevents you from sharing the Secret Technique!"

"Oh, so you’re saying Your Highness is doing this for my own good!" Hong Yu nodded, his expression playful as he retorted.

Landy’s brows furrowed even deeper.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, his expression gradually turning indifferent. "You can understand it that way."

"Why waste so much time talking?"

Blood Cyan Robe snorted angrily and said arrogantly, "I’ll count to three. If you still don’t hand over the Secret Technique, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

"One!"

"Two!"

The blood-red light in Blood Cyan Robe’s eyes intensified. His body pulsed with Evil Qi as he said sinisterly, "Very well, Hong Yu. You’re the type who won’t shed a tear until you see your own coffin! In that case, you can go die!"

The moment his voice fell, Blood Cyan Robe charged forward to kill.

"My apologies!"

Crown Prince Landy also waved a hand and shouted coldly.

Since he had decided to attack and rob them, Landy would naturally not hesitate any longer.

When a decision must be made, it must be made decisively!

This was part of the Royal Family education he had received since childhood.

The three Royal Family powerhouses followed close behind. A total of five Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouses surrounded them, their momentum overwhelming, enough to make one’s heart pound in fear.

Xu Wudi’s brows shot up. Her beautiful eyes held a murderous glint as she prepared to strike.

But Hong Yu reached out and stopped her.

"Hong Yu?"

Xu Wudi looked at Hong Yu in confusion.

Hong Yu, however, revealed a playful smile. "You focus on refining the True Dragon Martial Fortune you just absorbed. Leave these guys to me!"

"What? To you? But they’re..." Xu Wudi was shocked.

These five were all Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouses!

Even if the three Royal Family powerhouses were just ordinary Primordial Embryo Realm cultivators who had only comprehended two Mystical Techniques, they still had the genuine cultivation of the Mid-stage Primordial Embryo Realm.

Adding to that were Blood Cyan Robe and Landy, two Heaven-Transforming Realm-level geniuses, joining forces.

In Xu Wudi’s eyes, faced with such a powerful lineup, even she and Hong Yu together would struggle to gain an advantage.

And now Hong Yu was saying he would handle it alone?

’Is this confidence? Or arrogance?’

For a moment, Xu Wudi had no answer in her heart...

The same thought was swirling in the minds of Blood Cyan Robe and Landy. Their gazes turned cold. "Hong Yu, you are too arrogant!"

"You think you can take us all on at once? You must be dreaming!"

Amidst their furious roars, Blood Cyan Robe and Landy were already upon him.

Facing five Primordial Embryo Realm masters at once, Hong Yu suddenly burst into wild and unbridled laughter. "HAHAHA!"

Then, suddenly...

Hong Yu stopped laughing. His eyes snapped open, flashing with an icy light, and he let out a low growl through a wide grin. "Bring it on!"

BOOM!

A ring of ice-blue light erupted from his body, sweeping around him like a raging storm.

The storm swirled, then converged on his arm, surging into the Godslaying Spear.

The translucent, golden Godslaying Spear, now wreathed in a blue storm, suddenly blasted forward. Directly in its path was one of the Royal Family powerhouses.

He wore a disdainful expression. "A parlor trick!"

Then, the Fourth-grade Primordial Weapon Long Saber in his hand slashed forward.

However...

When the Long Saber touched the storm-wreathed Spear Aura, it twisted and broke with a crisp "CRACK! CRACK!" sound. Hong Yu’s spear strike continued unabated, "BOOM," and slammed into the Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouse’s chest.

"WAH!"

The man violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

His chest had caved in under the impact of the spear. His sternum was completely shattered, and all his internal organs suffered severe shock, resulting in internal injuries.

"Th-this... How is this possible?"

The Royal Family powerhouse was dazed, unable to believe it.

’I am a dignified Mid-stage Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouse! Even if Hong Yu is a Demon Fiend, how could he possibly one-shot me with the mere Peak Power of Primordial Core Realm?’

"Damn you, Hong Yu! You dare to injure my guard? You’re courting death!" Landy felt greatly humiliated.

He roared, Palm Light crackling with thunder as a golden Thunder Dragon coiled around his fists.

It converged into two Dragon Fists, which he then threw out.

One from the left, one from the right, the golden Thunder Dragons roared as they lunged to tear Hong Yu apart.

"Landy, I’ll lend you a hand!" Blood Cyan Robe shouted sharply.

His Ice Dragon Gloves suddenly struck.

Another two long Ice Dragons roared and soared, charging at Hong Yu.

"Hmph, you arrogant brat! You’ll pay the price for your insolence!"

"My second brother was just careless for a moment! How dare you injure him, brat? You’re dead!"

The remaining two Royal Family powerhouses both had vicious looks in their eyes.

The four powerhouses attacked again. However, compared to before, the attacks from Landy and the other three were becoming increasingly fierce and powerful.

"When the Nine Feathers emerge, heaven and earth weep!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique circulated to its absolute limit, amplifying his Spiritual Power. As it operated, it condensed a Spirit Storm, which guided nine ice-blue Flying Sabers as they whistled into an attack Array. The nine Flying Sabers connected, communicated, and compensated for each other’s weaknesses.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Nine Flying Sabers shot out at the same time.

Under the control of Hong Yu’s Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique, the speed of the Nine Feather Flying Knives was unparalleled.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Two splashes of blood erupted.

The Nine Feather Flying Knives had pierced through the arms of two Royal Family powerhouses, inflicting serious injuries.

"Get lost!"

Blood Cyan Robe and Landy were exhausted from dealing with the Nine Feather Flying Knives.

These Nine Feather Flying Knives were simply too terrifying, whistling as they attacked, and incomparably sharp.

Even so, Blood Cyan Robe and Landy had to expend numerous techniques just to dodge and get clear. To make matters worse, Hong Yu also executed the Flying Thunder Divine Skill at this moment.

What was the Flying Thunder Divine Skill?

Movement like thunder, power like a god!

It was about killing the opponent at the fastest possible speed, like a flash of lightning or a meteor in the void, utterly impossible to track.

BOOM! BOOM!

After dodging ten consecutive impacts from the Flying Sabers, just as Blood Cyan Robe and Landy were about to catch their breath, four more Flying Sabers came whistling toward them.

This time, the two of them failed to dodge the last of the Flying Sabers and were slammed back by a tremendous force. Although they looked disheveled, they were not seriously injured.

Looking at the two who stood in the void, facing him from a distance...

Hong Yu slowly raised his hand, lifted his index finger, and crooked it slightly, his expression a mixture of playfulness and confidence...

"Don’t waste time. You all... come at me together!"
