Immortal Martial Emperor

Time flowed on, intangible and impossible to grasp.

In the blink of an eye, ten days slipped away like sand through one’s fingers.

「On this day...」

Deep within the Tianmu Mountain Range, inside a silent subterranean cavern, a massive figure had become withered and yellowed.

Above it, a golden long spear shimmered with a dazzling golden light.

This was the Godslaying Golden Spear!

The Godslaying Spear had undergone a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation. Its shaft was no longer uniformly smooth and golden as before; now, it was encircled by a strange pattern.

It appeared to be a fine, blood-red dragon inscription coiling around the point where the spearhead met the shaft.

Evidently, after devouring the corpse of the Thousand-Year Tai Sui, the First Layer of the Godslaying Spear’s seal had been undone!

Although he didn’t yet know what ability unlocking the First Layer of the seal had granted, the sheer, ferocious momentum emanating from the Godslaying Spear was enough to make one’s heart palpitate.

The spear’s current grade was now no weaker than an ordinary Earth-Level Primordial Weapon!

For Hong Yu to obtain such a Divine Weapon was like giving a tiger wings!

SPLASH!

The water of the underground river surged violently.

However, compared to its former brilliant, multicolored splendor, this underground river once paved with Elemental Ore had become utterly barren. The Elemental Ores within were now sparse and scattered, as if the vast majority had been dug up.

In the center of the river, a figure sat quietly in meditation!

Hong Yu was naked, a bowl-sized scar on his chest—the very wound from the Yama Shuttle that had nearly claimed his life.

With the gentle rise and fall of his chest, streams of powerful and explosive energy coursed throughout his body.

In an instant!

BOOM!

Waves erupted as Hong Yu’s figure leaped high into the air. As he opened his eyes, two sharp, brilliant glints shot out.

They plunged into the river water below him.

BOOM! BOOM!

The two beams of light from his eyes were like fierce attacks, blasting open a cloud of mist.

His gaze had transformed into tangible energy!

One could only imagine how terrifying his strength had become.

ROAR!

Hong Yu let out a low roar to the heavens, and the entire subterranean cavern suddenly began to shake.

The momentum surging from his body was like a rainbow, having clearly reached the Peak of the Celestial Soul Realm. Such strength, such a realm—it was a world-shaking transformation compared to before.

"Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique, Seventh Transformation!"

Hong Yu’s figure blurred.

A layer of golden light coursed over his entire body as the Holy Light Dragon Armor materialized around him, shimmering brilliantly. He looked like an unparalleled War God striding across the heavens and earth.

The Holy Light Dragon Armor was originally half a meter thick, but it was quietly shrinking.

The golden light gradually receded, completely sinking into Hong Yu’s body.

The Seventh Transformation of the Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique lacked some of its previous flashiness and dazzle, but it possessed a new, hidden, and explosive power. As his muscles rippled, one could even hear the roar of clashing energies within.

’The Seventh Transformation Golden Body Dominator is complete. My physical defense is now comparable to an Earth-Level Primordial Weapon. I no longer need to fear ordinary Primordial Core Realm experts!’

Hong Yu took a deep breath, his words filled with immense confidence.

His gaze swept around. With a flick of his palm, the Godslaying Golden Spear shot back with a BUZZ and landed in his hand.

Weighing the Godslaying Spear in his hand, a hint of surprise and excitement flashed in Hong Yu’s eyes. "The first seal unlocked such a rare Spirit Array Rune? Hahaha, with this Godslaying Spear, I’m confident I can slay Xue De!"

’I wonder how long I’ve been missing. Still, I should return to Qin Royal City as soon as possible. It would be bad if I missed the Southern Ten Nations Alliance competition!’

Before leaving, Hong Yu naturally wasn’t going to let all the Elemental Ore in the cavern go to waste.

As for the Thousand-Year Tai Sui’s corpse, it had long since been drained dry by the Godslaying Spear. However, while dealing with the remains, Hong Yu made another discovery.

Two Enlightenment Fruits were inside the Thousand-Year Tai Sui’s corpse.

Hong Yu excitedly collected the two Enlightenment Fruits. He now had three of them. He would consume one himself, and the remaining two would also be of great use!

After the Profound Celestial Tower collected the numerous Elemental Ores, Hong Yu took a deep breath. With the Godslaying Spear in hand, he broke through layers of earth and charged upward.

The thousand meters of deep soil took him a full ten minutes to pass through.

BOOM!

Within the Tianmu Mountain Range, a hundred-meter-tall peak exploded, and Hong Yu finally leaped out, landing gracefully on the ground.

’Hmm? This place seems very far from Mist Canyon, but it’s quite close to Celestial Eye City? It seems that Thousand-Year Tai Sui was cunning after all, understanding that the most dangerous place is the safest place!’

Hong Yu pondered for a moment, then executed Tyrant’s Walk, heading toward Celestial Eye City at top speed.

He had to find someone, anyone, as quickly as possible to ask about what had happened during the days he was missing.

More importantly, he needed to find out if he had missed the Southern Ten Nations Alliance martial competition!

Fortunately, before he even reached Celestial Eye City, Hong Yu encountered a group of experts flying the banner of the Iron Soldier Pavilion and immediately flew toward them.

"On the wedding day of the Guiyuan Sect’s two geniuses, everyone in the sect gets a day off, but we’re stuck working overtime on a transport job. This sucks!"

"Stop complaining. The Chairman and the Old Master were very unhappy about what happened at the Celestial Eye Ore Vein. We’d better not mention the Guiyuan Sect."

Another man, who appeared to be the captain, chided them for a few sentences. His expression suddenly tightened as he spotted Hong Yu rushing toward them at high speed. He immediately roared, "All hands, on guard! Friend up ahead, we are from the Iron Soldier Pavilion! Please do not collide with our group. Otherwise, we will be forced to respond with martial force!"

BANG!

Hong Yu paid him no mind, appearing before him in the blink of an eye.

Glancing at the men, Hong Yu said, "You’re from the Iron Soldier Pavilion?"

"That’s right. May I ask why you are blocking our path?" the captain asked with a frown.

Hong Yu nodded. "Don’t worry, I am friends with your Young Master, Tie Tongtian. I won’t harm you."

Pointing at the captain, Hong Yu continued to ask, "What are you doing here? Also, where are Tie Tongtian and the others now? And what’s this about a wedding in the Guiyuan Sect that you were just discussing?"

HISS!

The Iron Soldier Pavilion experts all sucked in a cold breath, staring at Hong Yu in astonishment.

Just now, when they were discussing the Guiyuan Sect’s wedding, this young man had been several hundred meters away. How could he possibly have heard their conversation?

But they didn’t know...

Since breaking through to the Second Layer of the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique, Hong Yu’s Spiritual Power and Perception had become absurdly powerful.

Never mind their conversation; he could hear the flapping of a mosquito’s wings from one or two hundred meters away as clear as day!

The captain swallowed hard, his tone becoming much more respectful. "We were sent by the Iron Soldier Pavilion to Tianmu Mountain to relieve the previous batch of guards. The Young Master and the others returned to Qin Royal City a month and a half ago, after the Thousand-Year Tai Sui wreaked havoc on Tianmu Mountain and the major powers finished dividing up the ore vein."

"As for the Guiyuan Sect’s wedding, it is the wedding day for two of their geniuses, Zheng Tian and Qi Tianbao!"

"Zheng Tian and Qi Tianbao? Who are they marrying?"

Hong Yu froze and asked with a frown.

He automatically ignored the fact that a month and a half had passed, as well as the details of how the major powers had carved up the ore vein.

Under Hong Yu’s sharp gaze, the captain felt his heart skip a few beats. Only after a subordinate prompted him did he manage to say, "Zheng Tian, the Chief Disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, is marrying Her Highness, the Third Princess, Qin Qin, today. As for Qi Tianbao, it seems he’s marrying Beichen Celestial Frost of the Beichen Commerce Association!"

As he spoke, the captain shook his head and sighed, "Zheng Tian and the Third Princess are a good match, but Beichen Celestial Frost is the foremost of the Qin Kingdom’s four great beauties. For her to marry Qi Tianbao is truly a waste!"

"What did you say? Beichen Celestial Frost is marrying Qi Tianbao?"

Hong Yu stared at the captain in a rage. "That’s impossible! How could Beichen Celestial Frost possibly marry Qi Tianbao?"

The captain was actually blasted back by this low roar, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Horror filled his eyes. ’I’m an Early-stage Celestial Soul Realm expert! How could a single glare inflict internal injuries on me?’

Terrified, the captain didn’t dare delay any longer and quickly said, "Of course Beichen Celestial Frost wouldn’t be interested in Qi Tianbao. But during the battle over the division of the Tianmu Mountain Ore Vein, the Beichen Commerce Association’s strongest expert, Beichen Ba, was severely injured by Elder Wang of the Guiyuan Sect. Afterward, the Guiyuan Sect suppressed the Beichen Commerce Association in every way possible, allowing Wang Fei to seize control. Under a combination of threats and inducements, Beichen Celestial Frost had no choice but to agree to marry Qi Tianbao."

"Of course, these are just rumors. I’m not very clear on the specific details," the captain added.

’Wang Fei? That vicious woman again?’

Hong Yu took a deep breath.

He couldn’t help but recall the words Qi Tianbao had spoken after stabbing him with the Yama Shuttle.

His fingers clenched into fists, tightening until they let out a series of sharp CRACKS.

Hong Yu’s chest heaved. A chilling light that made one’s blood run cold glinted in his eyes. "What a Wang Fei. What a Qi Tianbao. What a Guiyuan Sect... If any of you from the Guiyuan Sect dare to harm Tianshuang and Little Feng, I, Hong Yu, will raze your sect to the ground!"

At that thought, Hong Yu stomped his feet violently, unleashing the Thunder Step of his Tyrant’s Walk.

His figure became like a Flood Dragon soaring through thunder, grand and powerful, as he raced toward Qin Royal City.

He left behind a group of dumbfounded Iron Soldier Pavilion experts who could only stare at each other...

"Wh-what did he just say?"

"I think he said he was going to raze the Guiyuan Sect!"

"I-I think I heard him call himself Hong Yu?"

"Hong Yu? Why does that sound so familiar? Holy crap, could he be *that* Hong Yu?"

"He’s not dead? And from the looks of it, his strength is far greater than the rumors say. Rumor has it that his relationship with Beichen Celestial Frost is anything but simple. Seeing him rush back with such killing intent, the Guiyuan Sect is in for a good show this time!"

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and send this news to the Young Master! I heard the Young Master was hit hard by Hong Yu’s death and has been putting himself through demonic training every day. If he finds out Hong Yu isn’t dead, he’ll be ecstatic!"

The Iron Soldier Pavilion experts chattered among themselves.

No matter how vivid their imaginations were, none of them could have predicted...

...just how terrifying the earthquake and storm would be, now that the young man who had created one miracle after another and forged incredible records and legends since first setting foot in the Qin Kingdom had returned to Qin Royal City!

A towering rage, all for the sake of a beautiful woman!

This young man’s journey was destined to stir up a storm of blood and slaughter in the Qin Kingdom, and even across the entire Southern Ten Nations...
