Chapter 376 - Entering Fate Emperor River (1/2)

The two of them followed the mountain path for many kilometers, and soon, the two of them heard the sound of water flowing.

They flew through the tunnel and landed on the ground.

This was a sparse underground area, and there were all kinds of crystals on the walls. There were also man-made lamps that lit up this area.

In front of them was a river that was about 15 meters wide. The water was very steady and flowed out from the darkness and to the darkness on the other end.

Upon close inspection, they found that the water was quite strange; it looked like dense fog, but the sound of flowing water was unmistakable.

“Is this Fate Emperor River?” Zhou Xuanji asked out of curiosity. The spirit qi in the surroundings was very dense, and it was comparable to the summit of Skyfall.

Founding Emperor Chi Wei said in amazement, “This is the first time I’ve seen Fate Emperor River. It’s said that Fate Emperor River flows in a cycle and will not evaporate.”

He then paused as he said, “Anyone who wants to become a Great Emperor only needs to jump into Fate Emperor River. However, if your body is too weak, your body will be torn apart by the flow of Fate. Do you have confidence?”

Zhou Xuanji frowned and asked, “Does becoming a Great Emperor not require the acknowledgement of the heavenly law?”

He had confidence in himself, but he did not know much about Fate Emperor River and did not dare to act recklessly.

“It does, but one can also prove oneself through strength.”

At that moment, a familiar woman’s voice sounded out, and Zhou Xuanji and Founding Emperor Chi Wei looked over.

A ball of demonic qi flew out from the tunnel, and after the demonic qi dissipated, Xian Xianghua, dressed in her purple dress, strolled over.

There was a softness in her gaze as she smiled and looked at Zhou Xuanji. Her gaze was incredibly flirtatious, like it wanted to melt him.

“Why are you here?” Zhou Xuanji asked out of curiosity. After 13 years had passed, this old demonic woman was just as flirtatious. However, her aura had become even stronger.

In fact, she did not feel weaker than Shi Shenzong.

It seemed that during the time he had not been here, Xian Xianghua had not slacked off either.

Founding Emperor Chi Wei’s expression fell, and a look of wariness appeared in his eyes.

Xian Xianghua!

She had once been number one in the world and was indisputably the number one person in the demonic path; how could he not know her?

“I’m naturally here for the Fate Emperor River,” Xian Xianghua smiled as she walked over to Zhou Xuanji. She then looked at Founding Emperor Chi Wei and said in a ridiculing tone, “Hoh, little old man, you’re not dead yet.”

Founding Emperor Chi Wei felt quite awkward, not knowing how to respond.

Back then, he had lost to Xian Xianghua.

Before Yang Di had appeared, Xian Xianghua had been an invincible entity who had defeated people from all over the world. Based on her strength, personality, and faction, she was very similar to a novel character called Dragon Proud Sky, so Zhou Xuanji often called her Dragon Proud Hua.

“Back to the main topic, after the Heavenly Palace descended, I guessed that they would try to take Fate Emperor River, so I came to observe. You came at just the right time—with your current strength, you’re completely qualified to enter the river. As long as you can become a Great Emperor, Spirit Sovereign Yan will not be able to do anything to you,” Xian Xianghua said with a blazing gaze. The man in front of her was not just her love but her pride as well.

He had strength that exceeded Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal before he was even 100 years old; Yang Di was far inferior to him.

Zhou Xuanji asked, “Do you want to go in as well?”

Xian Xianghua shook her head as she said, “If you didn’t come, I would naturally go in and try it out. However, since you’ve come, I’ll guard you. Moreover, your chances of success are greater than mine. After you become a Great Emperor, you can help me.”

Zhou Xuanji looked at her and said seriously, “Don’t try to trick me; each age can only have one Great Emperor.”

If there were two Great Emperors, they would be fated to fight; the two of them would not be able to mutually exist.

Xian Xianghua lifted up his chin as she smiled and asked, “Then you can protect me in the future. How about that?”

Zhou Xuanji fell silent.

From when they had met, it had always been Xian Xianghua protecting him. Even after he became stronger and had become second in the world, then first, he had never protected her before. She had always been proud and aloof, always acting alone.
