Chapter 731: The Black Emperor Gets Knocked Out

“Hahaha, Yiluo, you’re mine now!”

Yebo’s face was a mask of savagery and madness, his eyes completely bloodshot.

His eyes burned with a fiery, possessive desire.

After ripping off Yiluo’s outer garment, he stared at the smooth shoulder exposed before him. Her delicate, flawless skin shone with a dewy luster, enough to make anyone’s blood boil at the sight.

Yebo’s breathing became increasingly heavy.

The fire in his eyes grew increasingly hysterical.

Yiluo was the undisputed number one beauty of the Azure Sky Sea. Her beauty was legendary, making her the dream girl for countless male beings there.

Yebo’s obsession with her was nothing short of madness!

In his eyes, no one but him was allowed to profane Yiluo. Anyone who even glanced at her would be hunted down with crazed fervor by Yebo.

Today…

He was finally going to succeed!

“Yiluo, come to me! Hahaha…” Yebo roared.

A pink flush spread across Yiluo’s body. Her eyes, like misty autumn waters, held a seductive glaze, yet a final sliver of clarity remained within them.

Her eyes were fixed on Yebo as he frantically tore off his clothes. With her last shred of sanity, Yiluo bit her tongue hard. A sweet, coppery taste filled her mouth as a voice like the music of the heavens escaped her lips, “Sea! God! Festival!”

HUM!

This voice seemed to carry an ethereal and mystical charm.

Blood-red runes spewed from her lips, transforming into crimson patterns that coiled around her body.

As soon as these patterns appeared, a bloody light pulsed from Yiluo’s body.

BOOM…

Yebo was blasted away by the bloody light. He stared in shock and fury at Yiluo, who was now bathed in the crimson radiance. “No… Why? Yiluo, you’d rather sacrifice yourself to the Sea God than let me have you? Why? WHY?! No…”

The Sea God Festival!

This was the life-saving ultimate technique of the Mermaid Clan.

Once the Sea God Festival is cast, a mermaid sacrifices their own mermaid blood to gain a fleeting moment of the Sea God Power.

“Yebo, even if I die, I could never be with you!”

Yiluo took a deep breath. Under the blessing of the Sea God Power, the Emotion King Snake’s poison in her body vanished completely. Her clear, cold eyes showed an indifferent color. “Yebo, for the sake of the affection you showed me in the past, I won’t kill you today. However, you caused me to lose the bloodline of the Mermaid Clan. The next time we meet, I will take your life with my own hands!”

HUM!

Rings of bloody light enveloped Yiluo, one after another.

This Sea God Power could not last long. She had to use her last bit of strength to escape, otherwise once the Sea God Festival ended, she would fall back into Yebo’s hands.

To become a plaything!

Watching Yiluo’s figure gradually fade in the bloody light, Yebo roared hysterically, like a mad demon, “No… No…”

He charged madly toward Yiluo.

But he lunged at empty air!

HUM!

The void trembled, and Yiluo disappeared.

Across the Azure Sky Sea, Yebo’s furious roars echoed…

…

Atop the vast, boundless sea.

With Jiang Chen aboard, the North King Warship cut through the waters at incredible speed. The ship was a Saint-tier Profound Weapon, and its power was immense.

Most of the North King’s fortune was used to build this warship.

Its sailing speed was several times faster than the flight speed of an Emperor Realm Perfection expert.

“North King, how much longer until we reach Zhongzhou?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Master, we are currently three double-hours’ journey from the Mist Sea Realm. This subordinate’s North King Island is built within the Mist Sea Realm, and on North King Island, there is a Teleportation Array to Zhongzhou!” the North King said respectfully.

Everyone was shocked.

They hadn’t expected there to be a Teleportation Array to Zhongzhou on North King Island.

The North King gave an awkward smile and said, “Actually… this subordinate is a hidden agent placed in the Azure Sky Sea by the Beitang Clan of Coastal City in Zhongzhou, secretly helping the Beitang Clan reap huge profits. The Teleportation Array on North King Island was built by the Beitang Clan for this subordinate to facilitate the transport of treasures!”

“I see!”

Jiang Chen nodded.

It seemed that although the Four Great Holy Lands had strict orders forbidding any power from interfering in the Azure Sky Sea, many forces were still unwilling to give up on this natural treasure trove.

However, this was only human nature!

Jiang Chen didn’t press the matter, saying, “I’m going to rest for a while. Call me when we reach North King Island.”

“Yes!”

The North King said respectfully.

Jiang Chen then summoned the Black Emperor, Little White, Xiaoyou, and the Little Dragon Maiden from the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle. After warning them not to cause trouble on the warship, he entered the cabin.

Seated cross-legged in the cabin, Jiang Chen took out the Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron, tossed Demon Plow’s corpse inside, and began the refinement process.

Half a double-hour later…

Demon Plow had been refined into an Emperor Yuan Pill. Jiang Chen played with the pill. ‘After I give this Emperor Yuan Pill to Yao Yueye, he should be able to break through to the Peak of the Mid-stage Emperor Realm. When I get a chance to kill another Emperor Realm Peak Level expert and refine them into an Emperor Yuan Pill, he should be able to step into the Late-stage Emperor Realm. He’ll become a great asset to me then.’

He immediately sent a soul transmission, calling for Yao Yueye.

Yao Yueye cupped the Emperor Yuan Pill in his hands, his face filled with excitement as tears streamed down his cheeks. He stared at Jiang Chen with overwhelming gratitude. “Thank you, Master! Your grace is like giving me a new life! Even if my body were ground to dust, I could never repay this kindness!”

“Alright, go and refine the Emperor Yuan Pill,” Jiang Chen said with a wave of his hand.

Facing the combined assault of Yebo and Demon Plow, Yao Yueye had not chosen to flee, which had already earned him his trust.

“This subordinate takes his leave!”

Yao Yueye respectfully withdrew.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, his eyes holding a profound gaze. ‘Father left few clues, but that Cyan Ox Child helped him deliver a piece of the God-slaying Sword, so he must know Father’s whereabouts. According to Xiang Tianwen, the Cyan Ox Child should be from the Holy Realm. The Holy Realm is one of the Four Great Dominators of Zhongzhou, and participating in the Holy War is the fastest way for me to enter it. Therefore, I must participate in this Holy War!’

‘There are still over two months until the Holy War begins. After it’s over, I’ll go to the Demon God Palace and challenge Xiang Tianwen.’

‘There must be a way to ascend to the Spirit Emperor realm in Zhongzhou. I must become a Spirit Emperor as soon as possible, refine the Great Chaos Spirit Birth Pill, and awaken Qingyi.’

A ripple appeared in Jiang Chen’s gaze; he had already planned out his trip to Zhongzhou.

After resting in the cabin for a while, Jiang Chen felt revitalized and full of vigor. Seeing that they were about to reach North King Island, he left the cabin.

“Boss!”

The moment the Black Emperor saw Jiang Chen, he flapped his fleshy wings and fluttered over, muttering discontentedly, “Boss, you refined an Emperor Yuan Pill for Yao Yueye, but you couldn’t even make one for me! I was one of the very first to follow you! I’ve performed great deeds and shed blood for you…”

Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the Black Emperor’s woeful expression. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. “Little Black, watch your head!”

“Huh?”

The Black Emperor was stunned and looked up blankly.

A spatial rift had opened above him. A dark shadow shot out and—WHUMP!—smashed into the Black Emperor, sending him crashing heavily onto the deck.

The impact was so great that the warship lurched violently. The Black Emperor foamed at the mouth and passed out!

Everyone on the deck was dumbfounded!

The Black Emperor was actually knocked unconscious?

Everyone couldn’t help but look toward the dark shadow that had knocked out the Black Emperor. As they looked, shocked expressions appeared on all their faces…
