Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

"It's you!"

Demon Emperor Wrath's eyes narrowed when he saw who was approaching him.

That person was wearing a robe white as snow. He had waist-length black hair and was holding a gorgeous white jade sword. One step of his was like a leap across space, crossing several dozen kilometers at one go, which allowed him to hold Zhan Hongying in time.

He cast the Spring Breeze Healing Technique in an attempt to heal Zhan Hongying.

However, the man soon realized that all the spiritual qi around them were almost completely eroded by demonic qi. Therefore, the Spring Breeze Healing Technique's healing effects were hindered.

Fortunately, Chu Kuangren was a top-notch physician himself. So with the activation of his Emperor qi, a droplet of water formed at the tip of his finger.

The water droplet dripped onto Zhan Hongying's forehead, securing whatever little life force she had left. This man then looked at what was happening around them, and he let out a soft sigh.

"It's me. I'm sorry that I came late."

"Ashura Tribe, the guardians of the demonic realm, protectors of the firmament's beings for over hundreds of thousands of years, their spirits will never die. Their stories will be passed down to the future for more generations to come!"

There was a look of despair in his eyes.

Demon Emperor Wrath laughed in his face. "No, you're not late at all. You've arrived just in time to be sent down there and accompany them!"

Chu Kuangren wiped off the sadness from his face and turned around to stare at Demon Emperor Wrath. A stone-cold murderous intent seeped out from his eyes. "You're right. They are still waiting for company, for you murderers to die for your sins. I'll be the one to send you guys down there today!"

He passed Zhan Hongying to the demonic wolf beside him and ordered, "Take good care of your Master. Leave these rascals to me."

"Howl…"

The demonic wolf grabbed Zhan Hongying by the collar, swung her onto his back, and then swiftly carried her out of the scene.

"Go after them!"

Demon Emperor Wrath commanded. Suddenly, a troop of Demonic Realm soldiers pursued the direction where Zhan Hongying and the wolf had fled.

Chu Kuangren mobilized his mind power. With the lift of an arm, a crimson flame gushed out at those soldiers, disintegrating them into ashes.

"By the end of today, none of you demons who came to the human realm shall live!"

Chu Kuangren held on to the Descendant Self in one hand, and crimson phoenix fire burning in the other. His ice-cold yet fiery murderous intent shrouded the entire land they were in.

The few Demon Emperors shuddered.

"He's an Emperor now!"

"It hasn't been long since we last met him. How has he managed to become an Emperor so soon?"

"This man's growth rate is way too unbelievable."

A strong sense of fear and concern started to reveal in Demon Emperor Wrath's eyes.

Counting this current encounter, he had met Chu Kuangren a total of three times. The first time, his adversary was an Honorable. The second time, he had already become a Boundary Emperor. This time, he had ascended into Emperorhood!

Not only that…

"It's you every time!"

"Every time, you're the one standing in the way of a Demonic Realm invasion. You truly are the biggest obstacle to our invasion!"

Demon Emperor Wrath said in a low voice, "Very well, I may as well avenge my son, Touheng today too. An eye for an eye!"

Touheng was the Demonic Tribe's outlawed sky-pride.

He was also the most capable candidate to fight for an Emperor's Throne. However, he was slain by Chu Kuangren while at Emperor Road. Demon Emperor Wrath had always held a grudge against him from the moment he heard the news. He had long sworn to be the man to put Chu Kuangren down.

"Kill them all!"

Demon Emperor Wrath led his troop and made the first move. In his hand, a long dark-crimson saber instantly appeared. Tremendous saber rays coursed through the weapon, turning into a huge kilometer-tall saber shadow that slashed down toward Chu Kuangren!

"Invincible Technique, Inverted Universe!"

Similarly, Chu Kuangren struck out with his sword.

Surprisingly, he experienced his first-ever pushback the moment the saber shadow met with the sword ray, and his whole body was sent several hundred meters backward.

Chu Kuangren frowned.

Indeed.

Demon Emperor Wrath's cultivation was at Rank Nine Initiate Emperor Realm. On the other hand, his cultivation realm had reached the Rank Four Initiate Emperor Realm after having absorbed the Divine Sycamore Fruit!

This made him an Expert Emperor.

With his Esoteric Arts, Epic-quality Dao, and Prominent-grade Emperor's Core, Chu Kuangren was confident that he would have the upper hand on that hit earlier. Nonetheless, he noticed that the sword strike he cast earlier was greatly reduced in power, as though some external force was limiting its power.

"It's the land here!"

"This land is restricting the potential of my Dao and powers."

Chu Kuangren muttered under his breath. He knew he sensed something amiss.

"Chu Kuangren, do you know why the other Emperors of Firmament Star did not come here? It's because of this Demonic Realm Domain!!"

"Inside this domain, any non-demonic being would be suppressed in strength. I can't believe you have the guts to step foot into this place."

Demon Emperor Wrath snickered.

The other Demon Emperors watched on with amusement too.

However, they did not intervene.

To them, Chu Kuangren was no match for their true forms. On top of the Demonic Realm Domain, Demon Emperor Wrath should be able to deal with him alone.

"Heh, don't mention me in the same sentence as those bunch of cowards."

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

The Emperor qi inside his body activated to cast his Almighty Avatar.

The Emperors who were watching from the dark frowned. After hearing what Chu Kuangren had said about them, they felt extremely unhappy.

"What does this kiddo mean?"

"Hmph, I can't believe he's still so cocky in such a perilous situation. I was initially thinking of helping him, but after hearing those cynical words, I don't feel like it anymore."

"You're right in doing so. He needs to be taught a lesson or two."

The Emperors were conversing through their Emperor Thoughts.

Back in the Black Heaven Sect, several flashes of light were dashing rapidly toward the Purgatory Forest's direction. It was Lan Yu, the Godly Phoenix, and a few other new Emperors.

They were headed to provide Chu Kuangren with backup.

However, before they could get close to Purgatory Forest, an invisible force barricaded them on the outside. That was the Demonic Realm Domain.

Inside Purgatory Forest.

Demon Emperor Greed smacked his lips and said, "I've already activated the Demonic Realm Domain's barricade earlier. As long as it's against our wishes, no other Emperor can come in easily. Kiddo, you're on your own now."

Outside of Purgatory Forest.

Murong Xuan, Lan Yu, and the rest of the group were attacking the Demonic Realm Barricade with their Emperor qi and Daoist Pattern.

Yet, no matter what, they could not get through. It would not budge at all. 

After all, they were just a group of new Emperors.

"My dear Emperors, are you guys just going to watch on from the sidelines?"

"Yeah, that's right. The Demonic Realm Invasion is ongoing, and the whole Firmament Star is in imminent danger. As Emperors, are you guys just going to sit there and do nothing?"

Murong Xuan questioned the Emperors.

He knew that the rest of the Emperors were paying close attention to the battle.

"New Emperor, you've no idea how powerful this Demonic Realm Domain is. Once we get in there, our combat strength would decrease by less than ten percent. This battle is out of our league, but we've already reported this catastrophe to the Heavenly Imperials."

Great Emperor Hua Xing's voice rang out.

Upon hearing that, Murong Xuan's expression sank. "So, you've reported this to the Heavenly Imperials, but when are they going to arrive?"

"In one day at best. Firmament Star is the origin of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Imperials are not going to stand by and watch the Demonic Realm conquer this land."

"One day? You guys intend to have our Sect Leader fend off that million-strong Demonic Realm army, on top of those Seven Demon Emperors, for an entire day?!"

Murong Xuan was so mad that his face turned blue.

"Isn't Chu Kuangren very powerful? I believe this little task shouldn't be too big of a problem for him. Who knows? He might even make a comeback and slaughter everyone in the Demonic Tribe until not one remains." A voice of mockery was heard.

That voice was from Bei Ming Xuanse.

Since he had bad blood with Chu Kuangren, he could not help but make a sarcastic jab or two seeing that his adversary was deep in trouble.

"You…" Murong Xuan has seen it all now. These Emperors only wanted to use this opportunity to let Chu Kuangren have a taste of his own medicine.

However, there was nothing he could do to stop them.

With his new Emperor powers and even help from Lan Yu, Leng Ningyu, and the Godly Phoenix, it would still be near impossible for them to break through this Demonic Realm Barricade without any additional assistance.
