Immortal Martial Emperor

BOOM!

Hong Yu’s figure was like a bolt of thunder as he dove down.

BANG!

With every step Zheng Tian took, it was as if an incredibly heavy Demon had descended upon the mortal world. Each heavy footfall sent his body dozens of meters forward.

The first exchange between the two was not an overly fierce confrontation.

Instead, it felt more like they had just brushed past each other, like a dragonfly skipping across the water.

However, it was after this seemingly casual clash that, at the point of their encounter, two completely different energies collided violently, neither willing to yield to the other.

At a certain moment, they seemed to reach their respective limits.

BOOM!

A blinding light shot into the sky—a terrifying blast of energy.

SWOOSH!

The surrounding air was swept up by this powerful energy, creating a heart-stopping gale that sent sand and stones flying.

The gale did not spread outward but swirled violently between the two of them.

The nearby flowers, grass, trees, and dirt were all swept up by the storm, slowly rising into the sky.

"Good, good, good! Hong Yu, you really haven’t disappointed me. I’m afraid you’re the one who benefited most from the Tianmu Mountain Range this time! Gak gak gak..."

Zheng Tian’s cold, harsh gaze was fixed on Hong Yu. He suddenly grinned, his eyes flashing with fiery greed. "But it doesn’t matter. As long as I kill you, everything you have will be mine!"

"Kill me? What arrogant nonsense!"

Hong Yu snorted coldly.

With a jolt, a sharp aura rippled over his fists, and he charged forward.

"Gak gak gak, die!"

Zheng Tian also sneered relentlessly.

This time, each of Zheng Tian’s six blood-colored arms condensed a stream of bloody light. A sharp aura emanated from them, revealing six blood-colored weapons formed from Blood-colored Elemental Power.

Some were sabers, some were spears, some were swords...

"Blazing Saber Technique!"

One of Zheng Tian’s arms suddenly swung down. As the Blood-Colored Great Saber slashed toward him, Hong Yu’s feet slipped, and he retreated explosively, barely dodging the attack.

"Poisonous Bee Sting!"

But at that very moment, the longsword in another of Zheng Tian’s arms suddenly thrust forward.

This strike was incredibly fearsome and cunning, aimed straight for Hong Yu’s throat. The grim, sharp point made Hong Yu feel as if his throat was about to be slit open.

He gulped, stomped on the ground, and leaned his body back diagonally as he retreated explosively.

"Cross Heaven and Earth Slash!"

Zheng Tian gripped a massive Long Saber with two hands.

The Long Saber was a full two and a half meters long. As he swung it down, a blood-colored light flashed across the blade, expanding it to a massive ten meters as it slashed toward Hong Yu’s chest.

His movements were seamlessly connected and fluid.

Even with Hong Yu’s extremely quick reflexes, under such a barrage of attacks, he inevitably made a mistake and failed to dodge this strike.

BANG!

The Cross Heaven and Earth Slash slammed into his body.

The clothes on Hong Yu’s chest exploded outward.

His body was sent flying back thirty to fifty meters, crashing heavily against the mountainside.

"Gak gak gak, Hong Yu, now do you see how powerful I am?" Zheng Tian roared, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

From within the crater in the mountainside, amidst the billowing dust and smoke, a golden light suddenly flashed.

PFFT!

Hong Yu charged out, wielding the Godslaying Spear.

Golden light pulsed from the Godslaying Spear. Its Spear Aura flickered in and out like a viper’s tongue, its incomparably sharp power driving relentlessly forward.

The speed of this attack was simply too fast!

Coupled with the element of surprise, it caught Zheng Tian completely off guard!

Zheng Tian only had time to hastily raise the saber and sword in his hands, crossing them in front of his chest to block. The golden Spear Aura flickering from the Godslaying Spear’s sharp tip slammed violently against his weapons.

It was a clash of titans, diamond-cut-diamond, sparking a terrifying confrontation of power.

Hong Yu had just broken through to the Peak of the Celestial Soul Realm. Although he had generated a sliver of Primordial Gang’s Power thanks to the Primordial Gang Fighting Technique, he couldn’t wield it as freely as a true Primordial Core Realm expert.

Therefore, he still used an attack based on Elemental Power for this strike.

Zheng Tian, on the other hand, channeled his Primordial Gang’s Power into his saber and sword at full force. Although the Primordial Gang Fighting Technique and his Fire Spirit Body made the quality of Hong Yu’s Elemental Power nearly equal to ordinary Primordial Gang’s Power, Zheng Tian’s Primordial Gang seemed to be somewhat unique.

The two clashed.

This pure contest of strength forced both of them to tremble. The immense power traveled down their legs, violently shattering the ground beneath them.

BOOM!

The golden Spear Aura and the blood-colored saber and sword exploded simultaneously, and both men were thrown back by the powerful force.

They both flew backward, their feet dragging across the ground, carving out two long, scar-like trenches.

Their power was truly terrifying!

"Is this the mysterious inheritance Zheng Tian obtained from the Valley of the Dead? He looks a bit hideous, but I can feel the power of this inheritance. No Martial Artist of his age within our nation can be his match!"

"But for Hong Yu to be able to fight such a Zheng Tian to a standstill... his talent and strength cannot be underestimated. If he’s allowed to grow, his future will be limitless. It’s just a pity he ran into Zheng Tian!"

"Exactly. Zheng Tian is a Primordial Core Realm expert. No matter how heaven-defying Hong Yu is, can he really kill a Primordial Core Realm expert while still in the Celestial Soul Realm?"

"Are you kidding? Such a Demon Fiend only exists in legends. How many years has it been since one appeared in our Southern Ten Nations?"

As the crowd sighed with emotion...

Zheng Tian steadied himself and took a few steps forward, his grim gaze fixed on Hong Yu. "To think that even after using fifty percent of my strength, I still can’t kill you. You are indeed a worthy opponent. However, today you are fated to die by my hand!"

"Hong Yu, next you will witness my full power! Heh heh heh, just you wait! Tremble before my might! Gak gak gak..."

Zheng Tian took a deep breath and then slowly hunched over. The skin on his back began to squirm, and with each squirm, it seemed as if bones were prying at his skin from within.

A series of strange protrusions on his back looked exceptionally bizarre.

RIP! RIP!

With two sounds of tearing skin, a pair of Bone Wings actually grew out of Zheng Tian’s back.

ROAR!

Zheng Tian threw his head back, his Bone Wings spreading wide behind him as he let out an earth-shattering roar.

When fully extended, the pair of Bone Wings was a massive five meters across.

Bone scales covered the Bone Wings.

It looked as if they were embedded with rows of sharp blades.

"Gak gak gak, Hong Yu, die!"

Zheng Tian violently flapped his Bone Wings.

His body shot forward, his speed as fast as a flash of lightning.

’So fast!’

Hong Yu was greatly alarmed.

Just as he was about to dodge, a cold gust of wind suddenly blew past his side. With a SWISH, Zheng Tian brushed past him.

Hong Yu frowned and looked down to see that his clothes at his waist had been torn by something sharp. It had even left a white mark on his skin.

One must know that Hong Yu had already cultivated the Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique to the Seventh Transformation, achieving the Golden Body Dominator, which was comparable to an Earth-level Lower Grade Primordial Weapon.

An ordinary Primordial Core Realm expert’s attack couldn’t possibly leave a mark on his body.

Yet a mere touch from Zheng Tian’s Bone Wings had left a scratch. One could only imagine that if he hadn’t dodged in time, his skin would have been flayed open.

Hong Yu thought to himself, ’I absolutely cannot let him get close.’

But Zheng Tian laughed wildly, his arrogance tinged with a bloodthirsty madness. "Hong Yu, die!"

SWOOSH!

Zheng Tian charged again.

"Wind Rider!"

Hong Yu activated Tyrant’s Walk.

This Wind Rider contained the Momentum of wind and fire, commonly known as Wind-Fire Momentum.

The fire follows the wind!

This meant Hong Yu’s speed was as rapid as wind and fire, each leap of his body as agile as a Spiritual Ape.

In an instant, his speed was so great that it practically caused friction with the air, generating scorching heat!

"Not bad speed, but it’s a pity you’re still too slow!" Zheng Tian’s disdainful sneer echoed as he caught up to Hong Yu. With a sudden flap of his Bone Wings, he slashed at Hong Yu with a heart-stopping sharpness.

A sense of alarm warned Hong Yu just in time.

At the critical moment, he came to a sudden halt, dropping his center of gravity and practically prostrating himself on the ground.

WHOOSH!

The sharp Bone Wings grazed his back, whistling past with a chilly gust of wind.

A chill went down Hong Yu’s spine. His eyes grew cold as he sprang back up.

Just then, Zheng Tian had just brushed past him, and his legs were still within Hong Yu’s reach. As Hong Yu jumped up, he happened to see one of his legs.

’Here’s my chance!’

A grim coldness touched the corners of Hong Yu’s lips.

Blue light swirled within his cyan eyes as the Ice Divine Blade shot out.

Back then, his Spiritual Power at the Celestial Soul Realm Level was enough to rattle Zheng Tian. What more now that his Spiritual Power was at the Early-stage Primordial Core Realm?

Under the impact of the Ice Divine Blade, Zheng Tian shuddered, a trace of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Hong Yu seized the opportunity. Forming his five fingers into a tiger’s claw, he executed a perfect Black Tiger Heart Stealing move and, with a SWIPE, grabbed Zheng Tian’s calf.

"Get down here!"

His five fingers suddenly tightened like a vise. With a CRACK, they pierced the flesh of Zheng Tian’s leg and even snapped the bone clean through.

Naturally, this wasn’t enough!

As he shattered Zheng Tian’s leg bone, Hong Yu’s arm muscles contracted and swelled. With a pull, a tug, and a swing, he viciously slammed Zheng Tian onto the ground.

BANG!

Zheng Tian was moving so fast that he couldn’t react at all. He only felt a sharp pain in his leg before his body slammed violently into the ground, leaving him dazed, dizzy, and in a pathetic state.

"I’ll show you how to fly!"

Hong Yu growled.

He executed a back-turned shoulder throw, pulling Zheng Tian up from the ground, swinging him through a graceful 180-degree arc in the air, and slamming him heavily onto the ground once more.

"WAH!"

Zheng Tian cried out in pain.

The two consecutive heavy slams nearly ruptured his internal organs, and he spat out a mouthful of congealed blood.

"I’ll teach you to grow wings... Don’t you fucking know I hate things with wings the most?"

This time, Hong Yu delivered eighteen consecutive slams.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Each time, he chose the hardest stone steps or exposed rock faces for the impact. With every slam, Zheng Tian suffered internal injuries from the shock.

His body was considered tough, having been refined by Wang Ba, so ordinary attacks couldn’t leave a scratch on his skin. His insides, however, were his weakness.

After thirty to fifty of Hong Yu’s frenzied beatings and slams, Zheng Tian’s mouth was full of blood, and his eyes showed a hint of terror.

In a battle between experts, victory and defeat are often decided in an instant.

Zheng Tian’s failure was due to his reliance on the immense strength he gained after his breakthrough, believing he could disregard everything about Hong Yu.

But he had forgotten that while he could become stronger, Hong Yu could also grow.

More importantly, Hong Yu’s growth was clearly faster, fiercer, and had made him stronger than Zheng Tian!

CRACK!

He stomped on Zheng Tian, snapping his pair of Bone Wings. Ignoring Zheng Tian’s agonized screams, Hong Yu prepared to run him through the chest with the Godslaying Spear.

However, at that critical moment, a grim, cold shout forced Hong Yu’s movement to an abrupt halt.

"If you don’t stop now, I’ll flay this little bastard alive!"
