Immortal Martial Emperor

"Don’t be afraid. I’m back!"

The calm voice was so familiar, like a winter sun, bringing a profound sense of warmth.

Young Master Yeban, who had thought his death was certain, snapped his eyes open, a look of wild joy filling them.

His heart was filled with inexpressible frustration and grievances, but upon seeing that familiar back, Young Master Yeban took a deep breath. "Little Chenxi and I were both wounded by this old bastard. You tell me what you’re going to do about it."

Hong Yu’s expression was impassive.

How could he not have noticed the injuries on Young Master Yeban and Little Chenxi?

His eyes were like torches ignited with Divine Fire, blazing with a cold, thunderous fury.

His gaze, as sharp as a blade’s edge, locked onto Blood Wen, who was suspended in the air. His calm voice, however, carried the brutality and immense confidence of a raging storm. "Don’t worry. However he hurt you, I’ll make him pay it back a hundredfold!"

"A hundredfold? You think that’s enough?"

Young Master Yeban said.

For some reason, even though he had fought Blood Wen and knew firsthand how powerful the man was, the moment he saw the young man appear, he had a gut feeling—Hong Yu had the strength to avenge him!

Hong Yu paused, then grinned, a ferocious and cold look on his face. "If a hundredfold isn’t enough, then I’ll make him pay it back a thousand, ten thousand times over!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

A layer of Dragon Scales, veiled in a faint cyan light, had already covered Hong Yu’s right arm. He then fiercely threw a punch.

Watching the young man confront the "Lord of Fengdu’s Seal" with his bare fist, the heavily injured Landy couldn’t help but curse, "That bastard, why is he still so arrogant at a time like this? Does he not know how powerful Blood Wen is?"

Meng Chenggong also frowned. ’Hong Yu shouldn’t be so reckless! Could it be that after a trip to the Land of the Buried Gods, he’s actually become strong enough to match Blood Wen?’

"Match Blood Wen? Grand General, you must be joking! No matter how much of a genius Hong Yu is, even if he started cultivating in his mother’s womb... but..."

Landy’s eyes filled with anger and despair as he gnashed his teeth. "How could he possibly compare to Blood Wen? Damn it! It looks like all our efforts, everything we sacrificed to protect Hong Yu, were for nothing. That idiot came back just to die."

It was no wonder Landy was so furious.

In his mind, while Hong Yu was strong, he was only a notch above himself.

Besides, not long ago, Hong Yu had been hunted by Blood Wen, completely powerless to fight back and forced to flee wretchedly into the Land of the Buried Gods!

How much time had passed since then? Landy absolutely refused to believe that Hong Yu had improved enough to fight Blood Wen.

In Landy’s eyes, Hong Yu facing Blood Wen’s attack with his physical body was a pure suicide mission!

’Doesn’t this mean all the powerhouses from the Royal Family who died over the past month have sacrificed themselves in vain?’

Meng Chenggong remained silent.

How could he not understand what Landy was thinking?

In fact, Meng Chenggong himself was blaming Hong Yu. ’Why is he so impulsive? Why is he so overconfident?’

Blood Wen, of course, was thinking along the same lines.

He roared with laughter, his eyes filled with a savage, cold light. "Hong Yu, I never thought you’d come out on your own! HAHAHA, you’re just as arrogant as before! No, you’re even more arrogant! You think you can block my ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’ with your mere flesh and blood? You’re simply courting death!"

"Hmph, we’ll see who lives and who dies!"

Hong Yu sneered.

With that, he finally threw the punch.

If one looked closely, they would discover that as Hong Yu threw the punch, his rapidly advancing fist didn’t even create a sonic boom.

Normally, a punch thrown with such speed should have definitely caused a series of sonic booms.

But now, it was eerily quiet!

Everything was so silent!

And yet, this seemingly ordinary punch, upon making contact with the "Lord of Fengdu’s Seal," suddenly erupted with a force that left everyone dumbfounded.

The moment his fist collided with the seal, a powerful torrent of air exploded outward in all directions. The backlash was so strong it was like a raging hurricane.

It howled as it coiled around Hong Yu.

The Wind Blades contained within were almost comparable to attacks from a powerful Third-Grade Primordial Weapon, capable of easily shredding a Primordial Core Realm expert. One could only imagine how terrifying the force of this impact was.

However, these sharp and powerful Wind Blades had no effect on Hong Yu.

How could they, when his physical body was so powerful?

The Eight Desolates Dominating Body was already a formidable Body Refining Technique, and with the protection of the Nine Transformation Dragon God Technique, his durability was astonishingly high.

The energy hurricane swept past Hong Yu and bored directly into the ground.

RUMBLE!

The entire Profound Ice Valley was thrown into massive turmoil.

Under the storm’s assault, all sorts of ice peaks collapsed, scattering everywhere, and terrifying fissures cracked the ground.

The storm howled through the ravines, its chilling winds whistling—HUHU—turning the place into a ghostly domain.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within Profound Ice Valley was thrown into complete chaos.

"Huh? He actually blocked it?"

"Th-This is impossible!"

"Hong Yu’s body is that tough?"

"No, what’s truly formidable isn’t his body, but his power! You faced that ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’ head-on earlier. You should know the terrifying power it contains. For Hong Yu to block it with his bare fist... that level of strength is already beyond mine!"

"What? He’s stronger than you? Th-That’s impossible! How long has it been?"

Landy’s eyes were wide with terror and disbelief.

He shook his head desperately, trying to find a reason to convince himself that Hong Yu wasn’t that strong.

But watching Hong Yu stand in the void, blocking Blood Wen’s powerful attack with his bare fist, Landy’s mouth went dry, a bitter taste rising in his throat. "Alright, I admit it... He’s... really strong!"

At that moment, Landy, this proud prodigy, finally understood why Lantian Dou had told him to do everything in his power to befriend Hong Yu.

In the void!

Blood Wen hadn’t expected Hong Yu to be so powerful either, to actually block the ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’.

The muscles in his face twitched.

A fervent and surging killing intent flared in his eyes as violent energy once again billowed out.

The Immortal Blood Emperor behind him formed a Seal Technique, stirring the vast Spiritual Qi in the air.

Streams of a blood-red torrent, like a surging river, poured continuously into the ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’.

The seal, which Hong Yu had stopped from descending, erupted with a bloody light once more. It grew heavier, more powerful, and more filled with violent energy. It was almost a crushing force, causing Hong Yu’s arm to twist and sending waves of piercing pain through it.

CHH-CHH!

The corrupting blood-red energy made the very air decay as it tried to spread toward Hong Yu.

But Hong Yu just snorted. "So this is all the Blood Demon Palace amounts to. You only know how to use these dirty tricks!"

"JIE JIE, so what if I let you talk tough for a little longer? You won’t be able to withstand my attack!"

Blood Wen said coldly.

Hong Yu smiled playfully. "Are you sure I can’t block it?"

"Hm?"

Blood Wen froze.

But Hong Yu said no more.

He took a deep breath, his eyebrows knitting together like sword edges, as a golden light coursed over his body.

Cyan Celestial Transformation Dragon Technique, Second Layer Realm—Cyan Dragon Body!

A layer of dark-gold flowing light condensed into a layer of Dragon Scales, instantly covering Hong Yu’s body. Even the scales on his arms turned a dark-gold color.

At that moment, Hong Yu’s power doubled once more.

"Break for me!"

Hong Yu suddenly let out a furious roar.

The Dragon Scales on his body scraped against each other with the movement of his muscles, making a KAKA sound, as if hard metals were grinding together, sending out dazzling sparks.

Blue veins slithered like Flood Dragons beneath the skin of his arms.

Vast, boiling energy, like a surging river, flooded into his arms.

"Break! Break! Break!"

He roared three times in succession.

At the same time, he threw out an unknowable number of furious fist-shadows.

Each punch was like a charging Flood Dragon, smashing viciously against the ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’ and knocking back the terrifying seal that could kill a Peak of Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouse.

BOOM!

The first punch landed, sending light splashing everywhere.

BOOM!

Another punch, and the seal was forced back!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Nine consecutive punches, each one forcing the seal back several dozen meters, with Hong Yu following close behind.

When the tenth punch struck,

CRACK!

A crisp cracking sound made the entire sky, the entire Profound Ice Valley, fall silent.

"Th-This couldn’t be...?"

"Could it be...?"

"Is it really going to break?"

Everyone held their breath.

This ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’ was simply too powerful. Experts like Meng Chenggong, Crown Prince Landy, and Young Master Yeban had used every trick up their sleeves and still couldn’t withstand a single clash with it.

’Is Hong Yu really going to smash it to pieces with his bare fists?’

"This is impossible, right?" Blood Wen gulped, forcing his eyes wide.

And yet, the next moment, a scene unfolded that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"BREAK!"

Hong Yu roared.

BOOM!

A blood-red radiance scattered across the sky, as dazzling as a shower of flowing stars falling to the mortal world.

The enormous ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’—which had once made countless experts die in regret, utterly helpless—shattered abruptly under Hong Yu’s furious punch.

PTUI!

Blood Wen violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were filled with horror.

The next moment, Hong Yu vanished from his spot. His Divine Demon Wings had appeared at some unknown point, and with a single beat of the six wings wreathed in black light, his speed rivaled that of thunder as he shot forward, appearing before the stunned Blood Wen.

"You..."

Blood Wen’s expression changed.

The destruction of the ’Lord of Fengdu’s Seal’ had caused a significant backlash. He was in that awkward state where his old strength was spent and his new strength had yet to gather.

And Hong Yu seized that precise moment.

"This punch is for hunting me before!"

He threw a punch, smashing it brutally into Blood Wen’s face.

WAH!

Blood Wen sprayed a mouthful of blood, along with three teeth, and was sent flying backward by the force of the blow.

But Hong Yu was faster. He grabbed Blood Wen’s arm, yanked him back, and threw another punch. "This one’s for Grand General Meng!"

BANG!

This time it was a left hook.

The punch knocked Blood Wen’s jaw crooked.

Hong Yu continued his assault with a right hook, knocking out several more teeth. "This one’s for Landy!"

"This one’s for all the people you’ve killed!"

"This one’s for Yeban!"

This punch was exceptionally violent, landing directly on Blood Wen’s stomach and nearly shattering his internal organs.

"And this one is for Little Chenxi!"

Remembering the gruesome wound on Little Chenxi’s arm, Hong Yu held nothing back with this punch, aiming it straight at Blood Wen’s heart.

This was a full-power strike fueled by Hong Yu’s rage. If it landed, Blood Wen would surely die.

But just as the punch was about to land on Blood Wen, something unexpected happened...
