Immortal Martial Emperor

From the moment he arrived in Yaoyue City, Prince Zhui Ri had been relentlessly pressuring him.

He even boasted that he would leave Hong Yu’s corpse here in the Land of Trial.

And the cause of all this was simply that Prince Zhui Ri’s younger brother had bullied and tortured a poor beggar to death, and Hong Yu had spoken out for justice.

When it came down to it, he was the one in the right!

But Prince Zhui Ri had indiscriminately tried to kill him time and time again. The hatred between them was long past reconciliation.

Now...

Prince Zhui Ri’s arrogance and insolence had once again enraged Hong Yu.

If he didn’t act, so be it.

But now that he had decided to act, Hong Yu would show no mercy!

’Against an arrogant second-generation brat like this, the most fundamental and effective solution is to beat him into the ground with a single punch—beat him so badly he’ll never even think of retaliating!’

The two had already clashed once outside Yaoyue City and had some understanding of each other’s strength. Naturally, this time they skipped the probing phase.

The moment they struck, it was with killing blows!

Vajra Seal!

A golden Hand Seal materialized in the void, shimmering with golden light. Mysterious Spiritual Power Runes flowed across its surface.

This was the most terrifying aspect of a Spirit Cultivator’s attacks.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

The immense energy fluctuations from the Vajra Seal radiated outwards, threatening to crush Hong Yu to death.

Hong Yu threw a punch, unleashing his Perfection Level True Martial Intent Shocking Technique to its absolute limit.

As he charged forward with one hand, his fist of flesh and blood glowed with faint golden halos, empowered by the Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique.

Flood Dragon-like muscles writhed on his arm, and even his veins bulged violently. Each tremor was a concentration of Peak punch power.

In an instant, a surging, boundless power exploded forth.

BANG!

The golden fist and the mysterious Spirit Curse Seal collided.

At the point where fist and seal met, a chilling glint of light erupted.

As the powerful shockwave swept out in all directions, a brilliant burst of energy, like a firework, exploded in the void, blooming with blinding radiance.

HUM!

The clash of two powerful energies created a violent whirlwind of power that swirled through the air.

A terrifying surge of energy billowed out. The surrounding trees were uprooted, sent spinning into the air, and then crushed to splinters by the clash of Spiritual Power and fist power.

BOOM!

A sudden explosive sound rang out.

The energy blast from the blinding ball of light sent both Hong Yu and Prince Zhui Ri flying.

Prince Zhui Ri flew backward, snapping several large trees. His body trembled, and his blood roiled; he was clearly not unscathed.

BUZZ!

With a flicker of his spiritual will, a spinning blue metal disk appeared beneath his feet, lifting him into the air and negating the terrifying recoil.

His expression grew thoughtful and grave as he looked at Hong Yu. ’His power is even greater than last time?’

As for Hong Yu...

Also suffering from the recoil, Hong Yu’s body was forced back, but he channeled the Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique through his legs. They shone with a golden light, like two limbs forged from Gold, and dug firmly into the ground.

Despite this, the powerful blast still pushed him backward.

His legs tore through the earth like a plow, dragging him back twenty or thirty meters before he finally halted.

In his wake, two deep, menacing trenches several feet deep were carved into the ground.

The overturned soil seemed to vent the terrifying power of the recent impact.

’The Great Sun Celestial Scripture is this incredible? I wonder how it compares to the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique?’

As his eyes shifted, Hong Yu considered using the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique to counter the Great Sun Celestial Scripture.

At the same time...

Prince Zhui Ri’s second round of attacks had already begun.

"Well done, Hong Yu. Not even my Vajra Seal could handle you. You truly have the strength to vie for the True Dragon Level. It’s just a pity..."

Prince Zhui Ri stood suspended in the air, the blue metal disk at his feet spinning as blue light spiraled out from it.

Behind him, the phantom image of the Great Sun Vajra slowly raised its hands.

Two beams of blue light split from the disk at the Prince’s feet and flew into the hands of the Great Sun Vajra. The Vajra phantom held them up, two blue Vajra Wheels spinning like a pair of azure suns in its palms.

Suddenly, Prince Zhui Ri shouted coldly, "Vajra Wheel—Life Wheel, go!"

SWOOSH!

The Vajra phantom flung its left hand forward.

The blue wheel of light spun, tearing through the air with a HUHU sound as it shot toward Hong Yu.

"Illusion Mountain Technique!"

Hong Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly struck with his Godslaying Spear.

The mountain phantom formed from Spear Aura was massive and carried immense Momentum.

If a strike like this were to hit the ground, it would be enough to blast a crater more than ten meters deep.

The Illusion Mountain Technique and the Life Wheel clashed, like a needle against a wheat awn.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

The Life Wheel slammed against the spear-shadow mountain of the Illusion Mountain Technique again and again.

The sharp Life Wheel suddenly manifested a ring of vicious barbs, and each impact produced a blinding flash of sparks.

But the Illusion Mountain Technique was simply too heavy.

So heavy that even the Life Wheel couldn’t budge it an inch and was repeatedly repelled.

Of course...

The Vajra Wheel’s attack was undeniably powerful. After ten consecutive impacts, the Illusion Mountain Technique shattered with a BANG.

But this had also nearly exhausted the Life Wheel’s power.

"Return!"

Prince Zhui Ri barked, and the Life Wheel whizzed back, spiraling into the Great Sun Vajra’s left hand.

His cold eyes narrowed, and a corner of his mouth lifted in a disdainful sneer. "Since you can withstand the Life Wheel’s attack, let’s see if you can withstand my Life and Death Roulette Wheel!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The blue light disks in its left and right hands shot out simultaneously.

One from the left and one from the right, they traced two brilliant arcs of light as they charged at Hong Yu!

"Illusion Heaven Technique!"

Hong Yu’s right hand brandished the Godslaying Spear, using the Illusion Spirit Spear Technique to block the Death Wheel’s attack. His left hand formed a palm, each strike shaking the air and creating a series of sonic booms.

A single missed palm strike sent out a shockwave of Palm Wind that shattered a five-meter-tall boulder, reducing it to a pile of rubble.

"Hahaha, Hong Yu, there is no way you can survive the Life and Death Wheel!"

Prince Zhui Ri, standing on his blue disk, made no effort to hide the chilling killing intent in his heart.

His expression grew wild and uninhibited. He roared with laughter, "Outside Yaoyue City, you dared to defy this Prince’s will—you deserve to die! On the Path of Heart Refinement, you dared to pass the trial ahead of this Prince—you deserve to die! In the Illusionary Forest, you obtained this Prince’s key and didn’t respectfully present it to me—you deserve to die!"

"Did you really think a True Dragon Genius is so easy to challenge and surpass? Hahaha, how laughable! Today, this Prince will make you understand what it means to stand before a True Dragon Genius!"

Behind Prince Zhui Ri, the Great Sun Vajra’s form swelled again. It had been only five meters tall, but now it had expanded to a towering nine meters.

Its lips parted, and it uttered a cold, grim statement: "Before a True Dragon Genius, you are nothing but an ant that can be crushed at will!"

"Life and Death Roulette Wheel—Life and Death as One, Slaughter Gods and Exterminate Demons!"

Behind Prince Zhui Ri, the Great Sun Vajra clapped its hands together. Its appearance was solemn, majestic, and holy. It let out a low roar, "Die, Hong Yu!"

HUM! HUM!

The Life Wheel and Death Wheel, which had been attacking Hong Yu from the left and right, suddenly spun back, fused together in front of him, and formed a single Life and Death Roulette Wheel.

Whirling furiously, it charged at Hong Yu once more.

"Illusion Heaven Technique..."

"Phantom Spirit Strike!"

Hong Yu sensed the aura of death from the fused Life and Death Wheel. This was an attack that could truly threaten his life.

He unleashed a series of attacks.

The golden spear-curtain of his Illusion Heaven Technique shot forward, but the moment it touched the Life and Death Wheel, it disintegrated under the assault of the two completely different energies of the Life and Death wheels.

The Phantom Spirit Strike followed immediately.

This was the very essence of the Illusion Spirit Spear Technique, a supremely powerful offensive move.

And yet, even this attack proved fragile before the Life and Death Wheel. It was effortlessly crushed and destroyed.

Gazing at the Life and Death Wheel, now just inches away.

A flicker of understanding crossed Hong Yu’s eyes. His current deficiency in Martial Skills was simply too great.

As his strength increased, the Martial Skills he had previously mastered could no longer keep pace with his growth.

At this moment of life and death, Hong Yu decided to risk exposing his Flying Thunder Divine Skill and Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique to challenge the publicly acknowledged number one Spiritual Power Cultivator genius of the Southern Ten Nations with his own Spiritual Power!

"Flying Thunder Divine Skill—Nine Elements Separation and Reunion!"

Hong Yu let out a low growl.

The first realm of the Flying Thunder Divine Skill was ’One-Element Will Movement’, which involved controlling a single Flying Knife at will to unleash a powerful attack.

This Nine Elements Separation and Reunion was the second realm.

It involved simultaneously controlling nine Flying Knives, moving them as one’s will dictated to unleash a devastating attack.

Hong Yu had now completely mastered the mysteries of this realm. The nine Nine Feather Flying Knives swirled around him before suddenly assembling into a Nine Elements Separation and Reunion Array in front of him.

"What? You’re a Spiritual Power Cultivator too?"

Prince Zhui Ri was startled, but he quickly recovered, a cold, disdainful sneer on his face. "It’s true that some people have talent for both the Martial Dao and Spiritual Power. However, you don’t even seem to understand the principle of not biting off more than you can chew. A Martial Artist’s strength lies in mastery, not breadth. Did you really think you could excel at both the Martial Dao and spirit cultivation simultaneously?"

"That’s just wishful thinking! Let this Prince show you what a true Spirit Cultivator is!"

Prince Zhui Ri had his pride as a Spirit Cultivator.

In his eyes, Hong Yu’s Martial Arts Cultivation was already so formidable, firmly at the True Dragon Level, that it would have been impossible for him to have spent much time on Spiritual Power as well.

’This must be nothing more than Hong Yu’s last-ditch struggle!’

Because of this, Prince Zhui Ri decided to use his Life and Death Roulette Wheel to obliterate Hong Yu’s Nine Feather Flying Knives, completely shatter his confidence, and then kill him in his despair.

However...

Prince Zhui Ri had overlooked one thing.

It was indeed difficult for an ordinary person to master both paths, but the one he faced was no ordinary person. In fact, he wasn’t even an ordinary expert.

SWISH SWISH!

The moment the Life and Death Roulette Wheel collided with the Nine Feather Flying Knives.

The Nine Feather Flying Knives erupted with terrifying power, slamming into the Life and Death Roulette Wheel nine consecutive times—each impact comparable to a full-force blow from an Early-stage Primordial Core Realm expert—under the immense shockwave of pure Spiritual Power refined by the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Technique.

The once incomparably arrogant Life and Death Roulette Wheel actually shattered completely under the impact of the Nine Feather Flying Knives.

BANG! BANG!

With two muffled thuds, the Life and Death Roulette Wheel was utterly crushed, breaking in half and falling to the ground.

After completely crushing the Life and Death Roulette Wheel, the Nine Feather Flying Knives’ momentum didn’t diminish in the slightest. Like brilliant meteors trailing nine sharp auras of light, they charged toward Prince Zhui Ri...
