Everyone was shocked. Staring at the massive figure behind Gui Yun, they felt the terrifying might of the King of Realms.
A Realm King is a realm above Immortal Kings, a heavenly god standing above all living beings. Everyone must bow to him. Realm Kings wield the power of a world and can destroy heaven and earth with a wave of their hand—a height beyond the imagination of cultivators.
Although it wasn't Empuda himself who appeared—just a wisp of divine soul—the King of Realms' pressure had already immobilized people, as if a single thought from him could take their lives.
Long Chen stood tall in the void, seemingly unfazed by the pressure of the Realm King, carrying his broadsword and coldly watching Empuda's figure.
The powerful figures present suddenly understood. Gui Yun was Empuda's disciple, and with Empuda on him, he must have left a soul imprint. With that soul imprint, whenever his life was threatened, it would manifest to intimidate powerful enemies. After all, within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, few dared to oppose Empuda.
Enpuda's appearance seemed to be within Long Chen's expectations. Judging by the tone, Long Chen was waiting for Enpuda to show up. People were shocked—was Long Chen trying to defy fate? Challenging the King of Realms? You have to understand, even a wisp of the Realm King's soul is not something he can desecrate.
Empuda's figure was ethereal, his face unclear, but people could vaguely sense he was looking at Long Chen:
"I really didn't expect someone to defeat Yun'er. Interesting, what is it?" Do you want to kill my disciple? Surprisingly
, Empuda's voice was very pleasant, though somewhat feminine. Although soft, it carried an irresistible will.
"Fatty, you don't know me?" Take a closer look, or think carefully? Long Chen looked at Empuda, his eyes shining with divine light. He waited for Empuda to appear to confirm something.
fat ... Fatty?
People's expressions were strange. Long Chen actually called the Realm King 'fatty'? What exactly is this guy so bold for?
Empuda was taken aback but not angry. He seemed to carefully examine Long Chen and shook his head, saying,
"What's wrong?" Do you have a grudge against me, Empuda? If there is a grudge, I'm sorry, but I, Embuda, never hold grudges, and I certainly don't remember those who are insignificant. "
Hahaha... Long
Chen laughed heartily. Enpuda didn't recognize him, which meant that the statues of gods on the Tianwu Continent weren't under his control. Thinking about it, just in the Immortal Realm alone, there were countless statues of Enpu. He simply couldn't manage them all, nor did he have the heart to care about the little faith power in the mortal realm.
Empda's answer also confirmed his suspicion. Empuda's power of faith should be controlled layer by layer among his subordinates. Long Chen intended to destroy Empuda's Blood Slaughter Hall, but received a message from the Empuda statue, begging him not to destroy his legacy.
After Long Chen ascended to the Immortal Realm, he discovered that Enpuda possessed such terrifying power in the Immortal Realm that she would actually plead with him for a small inheritance.
Now he understood: the person managing the statue was just a small subordinate under him, and who knows how many layers of managers there were. The affairs of the Tianwu Continent were simply not worthy of being interfered with by Empuda.
With this, Long Chen felt at ease. After the world-destroying war on the Tianwu Continent, the entire Blood Slaughter Hall, Evil God Hall, and the Twin Shrines of Dan Valley were wiped out. The lineages were basically wiped out, and only five Great Emperors were worshipped: Qu Jianying, the old man, Ling Yunzi, and other martyrs who died in the world-destroying war. The only one left was Long Chen.
In this way, Empuda truly had no idea who he was. Although Long Chen knew his identity would be exposed sooner or later, it was still good if it could be delayed by a day.
"It seems you have too many enemies. You don't even remember them yourself. It's okay, good and evil will eventually be repaid. The sins you committed must eventually be repaid." Long Chen laughed heartily, his words ambiguous. Everyone was confused—wasn't Long Chen supposed to be the next ascender? How could he have a grudge against Empuda?
"Good and evil will eventually be repaid?" You actually believe such nonsense? I overestimate you. Tell me, which line of foolish descendants are you? "Empuda shook his head and said indifferently.
"Master, save me."
Gui Yun screamed in pain. Enpu had reached him but didn't save him first, but instead chatted endlessly with Long Chen. Finally, Gui Yun couldn't hold back and screamed. The pain of his soul being refined by karmic fire was too much for him; he felt like he was about to collapse.
"Anyone who makes mistakes must pay a price. If you fail to assess the enemy and predict unpredictably, you cannot suppress pride in victory; if you lose, you cannot escape unscathed. You have disappointed me. Soul refining with karmic fire is the best punishment for you.
Only then can you learn your lesson and learn enough. You are my favorite disciple. If someone else were to suffer such a crushing defeat, I would personally end them.
As for you, I allow you to fail once, but it's also the last. If this happens again, I will save you, but after saving you, I will kill you with my own hands. "Empuda looked at the flame-engulfed Gui Yun, his voice slightly cold. Clearly, he was extremely disappointed in Gui Yun's performance this time.
Assassins allow failure, but absolutely cannot be trapped like this; that is the greatest insult to a killer.
A killer misses in one strike and escapes thousands of miles, coming like lightning and leaving like a startled swan—how could he be trapped? Caught by someone, is that still a killer? The entire assassin world was about to lose face.
"But he...?" Gui Yun shouted urgently. Long Chen had terrifying perception, and his assassination technique was useless against him. He could only sacrifice his strengths and attack head-on. There was nothing he could do, was it?
Empuda snorted coldly: "No need to explain. After one failure, you should have fled thousands of miles. You have the ghost blade bestowed upon you by my master, which can easily break through the barrier and leave."
He defeated you, but it wasn't all in one day. You definitely have plenty of chances to escape.
But you can't bear to let go. You're captivated by the bait, and you harbor a sense of luck. Once the killer has such a mental mentality, he's no longer a killer.
You already know the dangers and the chances of success. If you still take risks, you're not a qualified killer. So, you have to pay the price for your actions.
Don't worry, you won't die. It's just that I will save half your life, so you can learn enough lessons and not embarrass me again. Hearing
Empuda's words, everyone's hearts tightened. Empuda truly deserved to be a Realm King powerhouse. Although he hadn't seen the battle, he could easily guess and already know that Gui Yun had suffered many losses. As an assassin, he really shouldn't have taken such risks. However, the soul refining technique of karmic fire was extremely painful, and Empuda was also very strict with his disciples.
After hearing the conversation between Empuda and Gui Yun, Long Chen laughed, as if he'd heard a joke from the heavenly Dao and couldn't help but say:
"Hey, Fatty, do you really think you're a scallion?" Did I say I wanted you to save him? Seeing
Long Chen calling Empuda fat over and over, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. This guy was practically a monster.
But Empuda wasn't upset by the title, and asked in slight surprise, "What's wrong?" Do you think you can kill him? "
Heh, it seems no one can stop the person I, Long Chen, want to kill." Long Chen chuckled.
"Oh, really? That makes me quite interested. I won't kill you because you are my disciple's target. In the future, he will have to personally carry your head to me. If he can't kill you, I will kill him too."
But you, on the other hand, make me very curious—what trump card do you have to give you the courage to say such a big thing? "Empuda looked at Long Chen with interest and said calmly.
"Like this!"
Long Chen spoke as he raised his handA feather appeared inside. As soon as the feather appeared, a wave of auspicious energy surged. The world, which had once been covered by dark clouds, instantly became clear, and the world was radiating a multicolored divine light.
"The original true feathers of the Seven-Colored Immortal Crane clan?" Empuda's voice suddenly changed.
