Master of the Demon Emperor

Haotian Wuxiang glanced at Qing Jushi, completely ignoring him, and turned to Su Yie with a smile, "Demon Emperor, it hasn't been long since we last met, and you've already reached the Heavenly Void Realm. Your talent truly makes me envious."

Though he seemed to be joking, his words were in earnest.

If Su Yie had been born a century earlier, he would have gone to any lengths to kill him.

Of course, he wouldn't dare now.

Who knows when the Divine Shadow of Emperor Su's Sect would descend, and the mysterious Yang Jian kept him feeling cold to this day.

"Hey! Kid! Dare to ignore this Emperor?"

Qing Jushi bellowed, acting quite arrogantly, but he didn't approach the trio including Su Yie.

Haotian Wuxiang turned his head and smiled at him, "If you keep barking like a dog, I'll twist your head off."

Upon hearing this, Qing Jushi shrank his neck and muttered weakly, "This Emperor should have fed you to the Barbarian Wolf back then..."

His voice was low, but Haotian Wuxiang could still hear him, though he didn't take it to heart.

Su Yie stared at Haotian Wuxiang and asked, "What, has the Invincible Myth come here specifically to block my way?"

He deliberately emphasized the words 'Invincible Myth', as if plunging a knife into Haotian Wuxiang's heart.

Haotian Wuxiang's Escape Technique was formidable, and Su Yie couldn't be sure if this was his true body, so he was still testing the waters.

Haotian Wuxiang locked eyes with Su Yie and smiled, "Demon Emperor, seeing you is like seeing myself in the past, equally unrivaled, equally dismissive of everyone, with a self-proclaimed stature higher than the heavens."

Faced with what seemed like praise from Haotian Wuxiang, Su Yie remained indifferent and cut to the chase, "If you want to fight, let's fight!"

He was ready to use Divine Shadow Possession at any moment, and naturally, he would choose Yang Jian as his target.

The last time Yang Jian used his overwhelming power to easily defeat Haotian Wuxiang, none of the other members of Su Imperial Clan had sparred with Yang Jian, so in Su Yie's mind, Yang Jian was the strongest for the time being.

Seeing Su Yie so confident, Haotian Wuxiang narrowed his eyes; it seemed Emperor Su's Sect was indeed still protecting Su Yie.

Thinking about it, he continued, "What is your goal for this journey? If we do not have a conflict, I might even be able to assist you."

If he couldn't beat Emperor Su's Sect, then he would make connections with them!

Haotian Wuxiang may be wild, but he also knew when to bide his time.

Of course, in his heart he still did not yield to Emperor Su's Sect, and given the chance, he would flatten Emperor Su's Sect!

Su Yie certainly wasn't going to tell him about the matter concerning Immortal Gate, so he responded directly, "Different paths do not come to the same conclusions. You may go."

Even without Haotian Wuxiang's intervention, he could defeat the four Immortal Land gods and seize their Storage Rings, so he was a bit annoyed with Haotian Wuxiang, viewing him as trying to intimidate him.

Haotian Wuxiang gave him a deep glance, ultimately choosing to leave.

Watching Haotian Wuxiang's retreating figure, Qing Jushi became arrogant again, snorting, "See how formidable your Great Emperor is? Good that you know your place!"

Nan Xiaopao asked softly, "Could his goal be the same as ours?"

She didn't mention the Immortal Gate, to avoid being overheard by Haotian Wuxiang.

Su Yie shook his head, "He's long had the qualifications for the Void Shattered Technique, but he seeks a century of invincibility, nurturing greater ambitions that we can't even fathom for now."

In his view, Haotian Wuxiang had come to the Immortal Forbidden Zone surely for the sake of becoming stronger, so he also wanted to know what exactly could make an existence like Haotian Wuxiang even more powerful, which was quite extraordinary.

Could it be related to the immortals of the Immortal Forbidden Zone?

As Su Yie pondered, he flew towards Qing Jushi with Nan Xiaopao.

At that moment, Qing Jushi was still boasting as if he had beaten Haotian Wuxiang to the point of not even being able to cry for his mother.

"Where is the opportunity to break the formation?"

Su Yie asked, seeing Qing Jushi so smug, he really wanted to stomp on his face.

Master Qing hurriedly corrected his demeanor and said, "It's underground!"

"I've discovered that this desert is surrounded by the power of rules in all directions; the celestial phenomena are unclear, and there is the sound of water flowing underground. The river courses are intricate and complex, yet their direction of flow is consistent, as if they all maintain parallel courses, which is very strange!"

"Therefore, I surmise that the way to leave the desert is underground, and for the most part, the army of Evil Blood Worms does not appear on the outskirts of the Immortal Forbidden Zone. They emerge from underground, so the desert's exit is indeed there."

Hearing Master Qing's reply, Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao couldn't help but nod.

However, the thought of that colossal black hand made them wonder if they might encounter such a thing if they went underground.

Though somewhat apprehensive, they were still willing to try.

Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao landed on the head of the Ant Queen. Su Yie used his mana to create a protective shield while the Ant Queen started to burrow. Master Qing was inconsolable since Su Yie did not take him along, leaving him to fend for himself.

Once underground, they were completely surrounded by sand and stone, rendering them unable to see anything.

Su Yie spread out his Divine Sense, maintaining a radius of kilometers, but was unable to extend it any further, as a mysterious force was blocking his Divine Sense.

"Below us is the river!"

Master Qing's voice came from up ahead, just before the Ant Queen burst through the sandy layer, revealing a turbulent, purple-glowing river that was ten zhang wide, illuminating the entire subterranean channel.

Nan Xiaopao's eyes widened, clearly not expecting the underground river to look this way.

In the riverbed, there seemed to be a great many Spirit Stones, and the Spiritual Energy here was incredibly vast. Even Su Yie suddenly wanted to stay and cultivate here.

Under Master Qing's lead, the Ant Queen followed the direction of the river's underground flow.

"Tsk tsk, no idea who constructed such a Spirit River. It seems that the formation of the Immortal Forbidden Zone was not a natural phenomenon."

Master Qing lamented from the front, having never heard of this Spirit River before, leading him to suspect that it had not been in existence for very long.

Besides the underground Spirit River, there must be other methods to break the formations in the desert.

At this point, Su Yie suddenly felt warmth in his chest; the Imperial Palace hidden within his body had actually flown out.

The Imperial Palace grew to a height of five zhang and directly sucked in Su Yie and the others before it burst forth with supreme speed, recklessly charging forward.

Meanwhile.

Su Yie and the others landed inside a grand hall of the Imperial Palace.

Master Qing fell to the ground awkwardly, looked around, and cursed, "Where is this place?"

Holding Nan Xiaopao, Su Yie gently set her down and said, "This is the Imperial Palace of the Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor."

The Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor!

Master Qing's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Didn't he fall?"

"Didn't Emperor Qing Xiao fall as well?" retorted Su Yie.

Master Qing felt embarrassed for a moment and then realized that the Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor might not be dead and that this Imperial Palace might be something he left behind during his lifetime.

Could the voice that previously announced the emergence of the Ancient Wilderness Seven Killers be that of the Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor?

Master Qing fell into disarray, feeling like the Ancient Wilderness was shrouded in mist and difficult to discern the true situation.

"Where is it taking us?"

Nan Xiaopao asked nervously, concerned that the uncontrolled Imperial Palace might lead to danger.

Su Yie shook his head, concentrated, and the scenery ahead of the Imperial Palace appeared before them.

To their surprise, they had already left the underground and were now flying in the sky above, with undulating mountains below them.
