Chen Yu didnât mind letting outsiders know the secret of the weak area of the Enchanting Fog.
In his view, this place might not necessarily contain any alluring treasures.
As long as these people donât provoke him, thereâs no need for slaughter.
But perhaps heâs too low-key; in this world where strength reigns, the weak are merely subjects of bullying and exploitation.
"How did you know this area is a weak spot of the Enchanting Fog?"
Young Master Songshan arrived with a cold arrogance, as if questioning a servant.
"Young Master Songshan, the young man next to Golden Stone King might not be simple..."
Giant Martial King transmitted a message.
Young Master Songshanâs cultivation level matched his, also at the Late Stage Star Condensation.
After learning that Chen Yu was someone even Golden Stone King showed reverence to, Young Master Songshan was slightly surprised, his face darkening and his aura receding.
Golden Stone Kingâs cultivation was Late Stage Star Condensation, so Chen Yuâs must be above that, possibly at the peak of the Late Stage, or even a Four-star King.
This meant they had to weigh their actions carefully.
Golden Stone King found it amusing; Giant Martial King and Young Master Songshan, just moments ago arrogant, now hesitated and cowered upon realizing Chen Yuâs unusual identity.
Senior Xu slowly approached, seeing Giant Martial King and Young Master Songshan hesitant to act, feeling somewhat irate.
With him there as support, a half-step Xuanming Realm, those two useless individuals were still afraid to make a move.
"Giant Martial King, werenât you just thinking of dealing with Golden Stone King? Donât dare to act now?"
Senior Xu said disdainfully.
He was thoroughly disappointed in the unreliable Giant Martial King.
If it werenât for the other partyâs father, once his friend, Senior Xu wouldnât bother with Giant Martial King.
Upon hearing this, Giant Martial King realized that not acting now would be seen as fearing Golden Stone King.
"Golden Stone King, let me see what progress youâve made recently."
Giant Martial King shouted coldly, releasing a formless force, his form rapidly enlarging into a gigantic Hill Giant, like a metallic mountain.
He struck forth, a huge chaotic black light like a meteor crashing toward Golden Stone King.
Golden Stone King stood ready, activating the Indestructible Golden Body, transforming into a Golden War God, his fists and palms releasing dazzling golden light, with an imposing aura. .
The two sworn enemies started fighting instantly.
Young Master Songshan cursed Giant Martial King inwardly, leaving the tricky Chen Yu to him.
He couldnât bring himself to, so said to Chen Yu: "My father is âEmperor Qiu Yunâ, the owner of the âTreasure Hallâ in Central City. I advise you to explain everything, or donât blame me for being impolite."
Young Master Songshan brought out his background, trying to intimidate Chen Yu.
"You all have five breathsâ time to get out, or donât blame me for being impolite."
Chen Yu, expressionless, spoke with a chilling tone.
Young Master Songshan stared angrily; he hadnât expected Chen Yu to be so disrespectful.
But he dared not act rashly, for Chen Yuâs cultivation was likely even higher than Golden Stone Kingâs.
"Humph, Iâll see who ends up being impolite."
Senior Xu snorted coldly, flying over instantly.
The aura of a half-step Xuanming Realm spread, making the void sombre and oppressive, all beings seemed to submit to his pressure.
Young Master Songshan felt relieved, leaving this matter of the human boy to Senior Xu.
"Hehe, just a half-step Xuanming, daring to be impudent before me."
Chen Yu chuckled.
"You..."
Senior Xu was quite angered, his oppressive aura not only failed to intimidate Chen Yu, but was ridiculed by him.
Yet, having lived for thousands of years, Senior Xu also felt unease.
He couldnât discern Chen Yuâs true cultivation, while the latter dared mock even half-step Xuanming.
Could Chen Yuâs cultivation be far beyond half-step Xuanming?
At this point, Senior Xu decided to probe personally.
Just at that moment.
Whoosh!
An even more powerful aura crashed in like turbulent waves.
Senior Xuâs aura was instantly shattered, his form shaking, soul quivering.
The sudden pervasive aura was so terrifying, it left him no intent to resist, automatically submitting beneath it.
Young Master Songshan shrank into a corner, even his father never gave him such pressure and crisis.
Far away, Giant Martial King and Golden Stone King ceased instantly under the intrusive wave of aura, trembling in fear.
In the distance, a red-clothed figure appeared, seeming more eerie and terrifying in the dim Mihun Mountain Range.
"Chen Yu, finally found you."
The newcomer was Red Smoke Emperor, she licked her sensual red lips, smiling broadly.
Under Red Smoke Emperorâs aura, Senior Xu and others trembled, as if frozen with fear.
"This woman is at least Mid Xuanming, perhaps even stronger."
Senior Xu speculated internally: "What did that boy do to provoke such a powerful leader to chase him here?"
This also indicated that Chen Yuâs strength was formidable, possibly truly above him, reaching the Xuanming Realm.
Fortunate that this powerful Emperor appeared, otherwise attacking Chen Yu might have meant a dead end.
"Who are you?"
Chen Yuâs eyes narrowed.
The opponent knew his real name.
"Erosion God Divine Guard!"
Red Smoke Emperor wasnât in a rush, enjoying the slow torment and pleasure of slaughtering enemies.
"So itâs the Divine Guard."
Chen Yu hadnât expected them to come after him.
While in the human territory, through the Heavenly Martial Sectâs intelligence network, heâd learned the Erosion God Divine Guard were searching for his whereabouts.
He was bewildered at how heâd attracted attention from a "God" of the Silver Soul Clan.
Senior Xu, Golden Stone King and others, listening to Chen Yu and Red Smoke Emperorâs dialogue, shivered and cowered in fear.
They actually heard "God"!>
This suddenly appearing red-robed woman turned out to be a subordinate of the divine order, tasked with capturing Chen Yu.
"Who exactly is this mighty figure?"
Golden Stone King was deeply shocked.
Senior Xu, Giant Martial King, and Young Master Songshan were drenched in cold sweat.
They realized they had vastly underestimated Chen Yu, suspecting that his true form might be an ancient Xuanming monster that had lived for thousands of years.
"Let sister see what abilities you truly possess."
The Red Smoke Emperor smiled seductively, her slender fingers gently moving, as a blood-red ribbon formed in the void and swiftly attacked.
Upon seeing the Red Smoke Emperor make her move, Senior Xu and the others retreated frantically in fear, activating their energy to defend themselves.
Chen Yuâs expression remained calm as he activated the "Xuanwu Sea Suppressing Arm."
An enormous azure turtle shell shield instantly appeared, blocking the Red Smoke Emperorâs attack; this was the "Xuanwu Shield."
Boom! Boom!
Violent and formidable energy erupted all around, causing the mountains to collapse, with huge boulders falling and burying everything.
The Red Smoke Emperor stood her ground, a surge of blood light swirling around her, not allowing a speck of dust within ten feet of her.
"This childâs cultivation doesnât seem like that of the Early Xuanming..."
The Red Smoke Emperor murmured.
She enjoyed torturing and killing enemies, and since Corrosive God ordered them to capture Chen Yu alive, she had suppressed her strength to the Early Xuanming, fearing she might accidentally kill Chen Yu.
However, she couldnât even break through Chen Yuâs defense.
Boom!
A blood-red ribbon instantly pierced through, shattering the massive stones on the road ahead.
The Red Smoke Emperorâs figure shot out, pursuing Chen Yu.
Moments later, Golden Stone King struggled out from a pile of rubble.
"The Emperor Xuanming... too terrifying!"
He examined himself and found no serious injuries.
"Was it Chen Yu who protected me?"
Golden Stone King vaguely remembered that when Chen Yu took action, a subtle sacred force entered his body, saving him from harm in the Emperor level battle.
Boom Bang!
Another loud sound erupted, and Senior Xu shattered a giant rock, flying out.
He had several wounds on his body, while Giant Martial King and Young Master Songshan were both dead.
This was because the area was too narrow, and they were almost beside the two Emperors, thus suffering such a strong impact.
At this moment, Senior Xu didnât feel like laying a hand on Golden Stone King, or rather, he didnât dare.
Having come this far, neither wanted to leave like this, so the two Stone Tribe members teamed up to continue exploring the area.
...
Elsewhere, Chen Yu had already fled some distance.
"Peak of Mid Xuanming..."
He had initially judged the cultivation of the Red Smoke Emperor.
He also noticed that the Red Smoke Emperor hadnât exerted her full strength, so he intentionally suppressed his cultivation and strength, not fully utilizing the Xuanwu Shield, allowing the enemy to continue thinking he was only at the Early-stage Xuanming Realm.
The Peak of Mid Xuanming was the strongest Emperor-level enemy Chen Yu had ever faced.
Of course, he wasnât afraid.
One Red Smoke Emperor couldnât trouble him, but Chen Yu had heard that Corrosive God had four Divine Guards.
If Chen Yu fell into the encirclement of the four Divine Guards, it would be disastrous.
After all, they werenât ordinary Xuanming Realm, but subordinates of the Heavenly Union Divine Realm; being chosen by the God, they naturally had extraordinary qualities.
With his Hidden Star Clothes and mastery of space profound meanings at a law level, Chen Yuâs speed surpassed the Red Smoke Emperor.
To a certain extent, the special environment here also aided Chen Yu.
Even the five senses and Spiritual Sense of the Xuanming Realm were greatly suppressed here, and as they delved deeper, the suppression intensified. The Enchanting Fog continuously seeped into the Red Smoke Emperorâs star soul, greatly increasing the difficulty of her search.
Underestimating her opponent, the Red Smoke Emperor lost track of Chen Yu...
"This brat can really run."
The Red Smoke Emperorâs face was cold, biting her lip.
If she had known Chen Yuâs true cultivation level, and had gone all out from the start, the result might have been different.
"This Enchanting Fog is also troublesome, even my star soul is constantly being infiltrated."
The Red Smoke Emperor decided to follow the information she obtained from Mu Fu and search for the treasure first.
"This kid might be too greedy to give up on the treasure, so maybe I can catch him there..."
But of course, the chances were slim.
Having managed to escape from her grasp, he would likely have guessed that she now knew the secret, and certainly wouldnât go to that place again.
The Red Smoke Emperor began searching for a place where the Enchanting Fog was weaker.
Otherwise, she wouldnât dare to stay in the Mihun Mountain Range for long.
Not long after progressing, a ghost at the Half-step Xuanming level flew in from a certain direction, kicking up a dark, chaotic storm with its claws bared.
"Scram."
The Red Smoke Emperor uttered a single word, her blood-red light erupted, destroying everything with earth-shattering power, instantly killing the king-level ghost.
Moments later, she came upon a wide open area.
"Sinister Poisonous Mushroom?"
Not far ahead, under a crack in the rock, the Red Smoke Emperor spotted a gray-black mushroom.
The Sinister Poisonous Mushroom contained potent toxins, affecting only those up to the Half-step Xuanming Realm.
A treasure of this grade was precious for the late-stage Star Condensation, but the Red Smoke Emperor simply ignored it and continued her exploration.
Soon after the Red Smoke Emperor left.
The Sinister Poisonous Mushroom suddenly floated up and then vanished.
In the void, a humanoid silhouette emerged faintly visible.
"Mu Fu must have come here originally."
Chen Yu murmured, though he didnât need the Sinister Poisonous Mushroom, it didnât hurt to take it. Moreover, he could plant it in the internal world of his heart.
Subsequently, all the treasures that the Red Smoke Emperor overlooked along the way, Chen Yu collected them all, tossing them into his heartâs internal world.
With an Emperor at the Peak of Mid Xuanming leading the way, Chen Yu found his path easy and leisurely.
