Chapter 1384: The Demonic Emperor Appears! (2/2)
The world fell silent on the verge of this unprecedented battle. But a moment later, cries of alarm and terror came from the crowd.
”Ah!”
”Look over there!”
”The Origin Immortal Mountain, the Origin Immortal Mountain… It's Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu!!”
Song Yuanyi had ignored those cries of alarm at first, focusing his entire mind on killing Wang Chong. But at those final cries from the crowd, Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and the Black Yin Ancestor all fiercely looked up in alarm.
At this moment, the four of them saw what the crowd was shouting about. As they looked up, they saw that strange protruding section of the Origin Immortal Mountain covered in that dazzling glow.
But now, the lights and shadows were shifting, that 'illusion' in the air seeming to slowly roll up like a curtain. The mountain in the sky was becoming increasingly real, like an ethereal existence residing in another world slowly manifesting in reality.
Not only that, the world groaned as a hair-thin crack appeared in the sky and began to creep down toward the ground. And as this crack thickened, it appeared as if two giant, invisible hands were pulling on its sides to open the way.
The Origin Immortal Mountain is about to open!
A thought flashed through the minds of Song Yuanyi and the others. But this was not Song Yuanyi's greatest concern. Rather, it was that image of a cold and imposing elder, more than two hundred feet tall, that had appeared in the sky.
This elder wore a black robe, his eyes brimming with disdain and seeming to exude a light as bright as the sun or moon.
”Demonic Emperor!!”
Even someone with as esteemed a status as Song Yuanyi, who was a peak Great General existence who cultivated the formidable Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra, could not help but slightly pale.
”Ah!”
As for the Myriad Ghost Ancestor and Black Yin Ancestor, when they saw that sharp-eyed figure on the mountain, they called out in surprise, their faces twisting in shock. In a flash, these two titans of the evil path became extremely afraid, even terrified.
A man's name was like the shade of a tree!
Even after several years, everyone could still recognize this man at a glance. During the reign of the Demonic Emperor over the world of sects, there was no major leader of the righteous or evil path who had not interacted with him.
However, none of them had ever been able to gain much advantage in front of the Demonic Emperor Old Man. Those of the evil path in particular feared the Demonic Emperor so much that the mere mention of his name would cause them to pale. At the height of his prime, there were some in the world of sects who did not even dare to utter the words 'Demonic Emperor' or 'Zhang Wenfu'. Rather, they called him 'that man' in order to soothe the unease in their hearts.
Bang!
As the four titans stared in shock at that illusion of Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu in the air, all the other martial artists in the region fled in panic like floodwaters breaking through a dam. After so many years, the fear of the Demonic Emperor had bored deeply into their bones.
”Run! The Demonic Emperor has appeared! He's going to kill us all!”
Terror swept through the crowd.
”Song Yuanyi, Luo Qiyin, you're quite audacious!
”Let me see if any of you dare to harm my disciple!”
The gigantic image of Zhang Wenfu spoke in a thunderous voice as he turned his cold eyes to Song Yuanyi, Luo Qiyin, Pei Luanchang, and Xie Guangting. As his voice echoed through the air, all the spiritual energy in the area converged into an enormous azure hand that hurtled like a meteor toward Song Yuanyi and the others.
”Old devil!”
Song Yuanyi grimaced, but Wang Chong was elated.
”Master!”
Wang Chong's lips curled into a smile. And if one looked carefully, he had the composed expression of someone who had already predicted this development.
Bang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong sent out his Stellar Energy to clash with the Stellar Energy of Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin, joining his master in a combined assault. Crack! Kaboom! It seemed as if the earth had been sundered apart. Winds howled and dust plumed several hundred feet into the air. Zhang Wenfu's attack had been so sudden that all four of these sect leaders were caught off guard.
”Don't let the kid escape!” a chilling voice yelled, and then Righteous Alliance Vice Lord Xie Guangting shot out of the dust and lunged at Wang Chong.
”Universe Sundering Art!”
Xie Guangting used his supreme art without hesitation. Kacrack! An invisible energy radiated from his body, causing the space in front of him to become tangible. Xie Guangting struck at the center of this solidified space with his palm, causing a web of cracks to spread out from it.
