Chapter 1575: Chapter 1435: Unprecedented Strength, Emperor!

“`

The intense light descended from above, originally bright enough to illuminate the entire Yin Valley.

Now even the sunlight had fissures, like a piece of white cloth that had been suddenly cut away, hanging abruptly in the sky…

Chu Mu lifted his head to look into the distance, seeing that nearly half of Yin Valley was on the cusp of collapsing, and the rate of collapse would only accelerate over time.

The path they walked on was no longer smooth, and from time to time, they had to follow Skyslayer of the Dark Sect across makeshift bridges. That sensation of teetering on the brink of death’s maw was unbelievably harrowing, and even these people who had reached the immortal level were as careful as the most vulnerable creatures.

The Dark Sect members must have known about other Space Channels. They moved with clear direction, and en route, they did not trouble Chu Mu, nor did they threaten him, apart from being escorted and surrounded by six Dark Sect Members. Chu Mu in fact felt as if he were one of their group.

Miss Si seemed rather interested in Princess Jinrou, curiously inquiring as to why she had become a pitiable little ghost.

Princess Jinrou was unsure whether Miss Si’s intentions were genuine or hypocritical, and so she answered evasively.

When close to Chu Mu, Princess Jinrou sometimes showed a childish side, but this occurred only when in Chu Mu’s sole company. In her interactions with others, she was an unreadable Ghost Princess. She didn’t push people thousands of miles away, nor did she get too close, neither mute nor free-spoken…

The other men of the Dark Sect, including Chu Mu, were mostly silent. Throughout the journey, only the pleasing voices of the two women intertwined, seeming delicate and polite as if they were sisters familiar for many years, yet in fact, both held onto their animosity.

“Lord, the Space Exit is close,” Leng Lou communicated with Chu Mu using Mental Sound, with caution.

Leng Lou was a member of the Dark Sect, but he was not under Skyslayer’s command. He was loyal to Wan Zhong, so in the true sense, his first allegiance was to Chu Mu’s orders. Should a fight break out, Leng Lou would have to stand on Chu Mu’s side no matter what.

“Where is it?” Chu Mu asked.

“Behind that mountain,” Leng Lou said.

Chu Mu’s gaze followed naturally, landing on a mountain that had managed to stay relatively intact.

The mountain was ordinary, with a valley leading straight through to the other side, and presumably, the Space Exit was at the end of that winding valley.

Skyslayer’s Soul Pet had the ability to repair space, so the impassable Fissures were no obstacle to their progress.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, and just then, the ground they had just crossed suddenly sank, tumbling ceaselessly before disappearing into the thick darkness.

“If we were any later, perhaps even the Space Exit would have been swallowed up,” Miss Si said with a laugh.

The other Dark Sect Members looked behind with residual fear. The depression that had just formed was immense, stretching at least ten kilometers. Skyslayer’s Abnormal Soul Pet was showing signs of fatigue, unable to repair space indefinitely.

Skyslayer continued to lead the way, heading straight towards the meandering valley.

Suddenly, a vague figure appeared amidst the misty valley path!

That figure was leaning against a nearby rock as if it had been waiting there for a long time. Yet, why had they not noticed him the moment they entered this place, only realizing his presence when they saw the figure.

Skyslayer furrowed his brow, raising a hand to signal everyone to stop.

His expression turned grave, eyes transfixed on the tall figure leaning against the rock without the slightest movement.

“Who are you!!” Miss Si’s heart jumped in surprise, and with some annoyance, she shouted loudly.

The slightly blurry figure moved, slowly walking out from the valley path.

A hawk-eyed face gradually became clear, with sharp eyes, an aquiline cold nose, a narrow mouth, and a pointed chin. He was every bit like a hawk–fierce, cold, proud, and wearing a smile that carried a dismissive confidence and a mocking disdain for everything.

Being stared at by those eyes was enough to make one’s skin crawl uncomfortably.

All Dark Sect members stood as if facing a formidable enemy, eyes fixed on the man who had suddenly appeared.

Chu Mu’s expression was equally solemn. Though he couldn’t sense any aura from the opponent, he was certain this was a strong one, stronger than anyone he had ever encountered. The pride in the man’s eyes wasn’t the shallow arrogance found in the hearts of most Soul Pet Masters; it was an attitude formed from a high position that rendered looking down on others unnecessary.

Who could turn pride into a habit?

The deathly aura enveloped all eight members of the Dark Sect. When they surrounded Chu Mu alongside members of the Snake Dragon Sect, the Wupan Navy, and the Divine Sect, their aura of death instilled fear in those people.

But now, the concentrated killing intent from the eight of them together could not affect this man with no aura at all!

“Little maid, I spared you for the sake of your father. Get lost,” the man said with an indifferent look at Miss Si, almost commanding in his tone.

Miss Si’s face turned red with anger in an instant. She might be the reviled member of the Dark Sect, pointed out by thousands, but who in the entire Human Domain didn’t know she was the cherished daughter of the Dark Sect? Even the Divine Sect wouldn’t dare to dishonor her, let alone speak to her this way, and not even her father had done so!

“Kill him!” Suppressing the rage in her heart, Miss Si ordered her subordinates coldly.

Her subordinates did not dare to disobey. The scout who had just rejoined the group took the lead, his Dark Peng transforming into a streak of lethal cold light.

The cold light, like an arrow, whistled past, aiming straight for the man.

The man didn’t even lift his eyelids, dismissing the attack with the wave of a hand as if shooing away an annoying fly.

As the man waved his hand, a deep-sea blue creature suddenly darted out from behind him.

“`

This creature moved at an incredible speed; everyone present only saw a light claw mark casually sweep across the trajectory of the Dark Peng as it flew!

“Splat!!!!!”

Crimson blood sprayed, and both the Dark Peng and the scout’s bodies were split into halves, violently crashing into the rocks beside the man, leaving an appalling blood lotus smeared on the stone wall!

Instant kill!!

An instant kill without even releasing a single skill!!

Everyone gasped, some in disbelief as they stared at the corpses that collided with the stone wall…

The strength of that scout was no less than any member of the Dark Sect, yet in the blink of an eye, he was reduced to a dreadfully bloodied corpse; the shock was too much to bear!

Miss Si’s face drained of anger, now filled only with shock.

“Don’t make me feel irritated; whenever I’m irritated, I want to kill, especially those who irk me.” The man had not even glanced at the corpse beside him from start to end.

That was the corpse of an immortal-level being, yet dying at his feet seemed so inconsequential.

At this moment, Skyslayer took a small step forward and whispered to Miss Si, “You leave.”

Miss Si was stunned, but as she looked into Skyslayer’s eyes, she saw a level of calm and focus she had never seen before.

“I won’t leave!” Miss Si said with gritted teeth.

“He’s the Emperor,” Skyslayer said.

Miss Si froze again, hardly able to believe as she stared at the hawk-faced man!

The Emperor, the singular leader commanding millions within the Wupan Navy’s immense army, the only leader in the entire World!

Chu Mu also heard Skyslayer’s hushed words, and a great tumult arose within him.

The man before him was the Emperor, a leader-level human strong one, a true titan at the pinnacle of the Human Domain!

This was an enemy of unprecedented strength; the ease with which he had slain the Dark Sect Scout without using a skill was proof enough. Even so, how long could a creature like Martial Cloud Dragon last against such a leader-level strong one?

“Go.” Skyslayer repeated to Miss Si, this time almost in a commanding tone.

Miss Si stood, dazed, looking at Skyslayer, knowing full well that if the Emperor really wanted to kill, not a single person present could escape.

Miss Si’s lips were almost bitten through; she hadn’t anticipated encountering the Naval Chief here, and this damned Emperor seemed to have known they would leave this way, lying in wait for them.

Finally, Miss Si chose to leave.

“I will avenge you, I promise!” Miss Si said earnestly to him.

Having said that, Miss Si quickly rode her Soul Pet, charging towards the mountain at the rear.

The Emperor stood there, making no move to stop Miss Si’s departure.

“You all go as well.” Without turning his head back, Skyslayer spoke indifferently to Chu Mu and his followers.

“Sir, we’re willing to stay and fight!” The slightly thin Dark Sect man stood out.

“We won’t leave either.” The others likewise positioned themselves beside Skyslayer.

They knew the enemy they faced was of unparalleled power, but even if he could kill one of them without releasing his skills, there were still six of them, enough to buy some time for Skyslayer to escape.

“Thud thud thud~~~~~~~~~~”

The Emperor tapped his finger on the bloodstained rock beside him, his hawk face breaking into a mocking smile as if taunting his prey, “Don’t get it wrong; I haven’t given the rest of you permission to leave. Someone has to take responsibility for my subordinates who have died.”

A heavy weight settled in Skyslayer’s heart. His intention was to have the others leave while he might be able to escape the Emperor using the Abnormal-Maned Monster.

However, the Emperor clearly had no intention of letting anyone else go.

“Kid, you have the Seven Sins Fox’s Epitaph Tear, don’t you?” The Emperor’s eyes fell on Chu Mu, his look that of a king regarding a commoner.

Chu Mu did not answer.

“Hand it over, along with any Epitaph Tears on you,” the Emperor ordered indifferently. Indeed, every statement he made was nearly in a commanding tone; at his lofty position, there was no need for pleasantries.

“If I give it to you, can you let us leave?” Chu Mu pointed at Princess Jinrou and Martial Cloud Dragon with his hand.

“No,” the Emperor said.

Turning to Skyslayer, Chu Mu said, “We are allies now.” (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) and cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
