Chapter 2589: Chapter 2563: Crisis of Death (Seven Updates)
An avatar should, by reason, only be weaker than the original.
Yet at this moment, the power of the blood dragon far surpasses Ye Chen.
It even transcends the Chaos Realm!
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the chains vibrated, and the ancient Outer Realm demon dragon gazed at the blood dragon and spoke:
“I no longer wish to devour you.”
“You and I are bound to both suffer.”
“If I weren’t trapped, you would have died long ago.”
“Living in peace benefits both you and me.”
“I am trapped, and you are still weak; stop struggling.”
However, the blood dragon issued a heaven-shaking dragon roar.
In the next second, it also spoke.
“I was born from murderous intent, starting from a young man in River City.”
“He taught me that life and death are in my own hands.”
“He taught me to dye the skies with killing intent.”
“He cuts through thorns and slaughters enemies all over the world.”
“He possesses a bloodline against the heavens, determined to ascend to the Nine Heavens.”
“I exist because of him!”
“I will devour you, this demon dragon!”
“Even if you were born from time immemorial!”
“Even if you come from a realm where the strong prevail!”
“Even if you have slain countless Chaos experts!”
“I fear nothing.”
“Because—I seek to absorb all the glory of his divine dragon life!”
“I want to tell the world that Ye Chen has my protection!”
“I am willing to destroy all evil for him! Extinguish all enemies!”
In the next second, the blood dragon, covered in wounds, charged towards the Outer Realm demon dragon again.
Endless flames engulf its entire body!
The flames on its body began to undergo a strange transformation.
Two intensely brilliant flames were burning.
One was the Emperor’s Fire.
One was the Ancient Immemorial Evil Flame.
Despite such a vast distance, the blood dragon managed to take some flames from Ye Chen’s dantian!
…
A full two hours passed.
Ye Chen opened his eyes.
His heart was filled with shock.
He saw his own reflection on the wounded blood dragon below the Abyss.
The blood dragon confronting an Outer Realm demon dragon with power thousands of times greater than itself, all for him?
He was moved.
He was hesitant.
He still had no idea how to reach the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace.
Given his current ability, what could he do even if he went?
At that moment, the somewhat weakened sub-spiritual beast, which was the only connection between him and the blood dragon, spoke:
“Don’t worry about me, we are bound to meet eventually.”
“This mere creature from the Outer Realm means nothing!”
Ye Chen suddenly stood up, murderous intent sweeping through his body.
Zhou Yuanxin was directly blown away by the shock!
Zhou Yuanxin was a bit dazed: “Brother Ye, have you… deviated into demonic ways???”
Ye Chen then regained his senses, his murderous intent receding: “Zhou Yuanxin, have you heard about the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace?”
Zhou Yuanxin shook his head: “What place is this? I have never heard of it despite being in the Divine Kingdom for so long.”
Ye Chen thought no further: “Then, how much longer until we reach the Nine Remoteness Kingdom?”
Zhou Yuanxin finally answered, “Very soon! Just one incense stick to burn!”
“Good.”
…
At this moment, within the Imperial Palace of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom.
All the tributors, at this time, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth. The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom continuously tapped his fingers on the armrest of the Dragon Throne, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his face devoid of its usual authority, and even his body slightly trembling!
This group of powerhouses that could dominate the Lingwu Continent, noble in status, now wore an unusually panic-stricken appearance!
Just then, from outside the palace, the guards’ angry shouting resounded: “Who goes there! How dare you barge into the Imperial Palace of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom! Kill them!”
But in the next instant, the shouts ceased abruptly, and the entire palace fell into an eerie silence. The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom exchanged glances with the tributors, all seeing the terror and unease in each other’s eyes!
Initially, the Nine Remoteness Kingdom feared no Divine Kingdom.
But the Nine Remoteness Kingdom had long since declined!
Even the energies beneath the Demon Territory had been drained by the battle with the Demon Emperor.
The Nine Remoteness Kingdom is now like a starved camel.
Still larger than a horse, of course!
But now what the Nine Remoteness Kingdom faces is not the branch of the Mu Family!
It’s the main lineage of the Divine Kingdom Mu Family!
The difference between them is like heaven and earth!
To know, all guards were already replaced with martial artists of the Great Void Division to strengthen defense!
These martial artists, utterly loyal to the royal family of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, would fight to the death until the very last moment!
But now…
In an instant, without even a cry of agony, quietus was met?
The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom suddenly stood up. His wrist flipped, gripping a sword, its hilt entwined with a gold-carved giant dragon. As the Dragonslayer Sword appeared, a mighty authoritative aura rippled through the entire palace!
Originally full of fear, the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom slightly calmed down after grasping the sword.
This sword, named Ancient Dragon Sword!
It is the national treasure of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom! A genuine ancient artifact!
Moreover, this Ancient Dragon Sword can also harness the Imperial Dragon Power accumulated over tens of millions of years within the Nine Remoteness Kingdom.
In this palace, the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, holding the Ancient Dragon Sword, could even contend with a Half-step Calamity Cutting Expert!
A group of Great Void Tributors also clenched their saint artifacts, gazing tensely at the palace’s main entrance as if facing a great enemy.
In this deathly silence, thump thump thump, suddenly, an odd sound came from outside the door.
Everyone’s pupils contracted, and the next moment, their faces turned ashen!
In their line of sight, one by one, dark red objects rolled through the main gate into the palace!
Upon closer inspection, these were severed heads!
“Tributor Lin!?” Exalt Huang exclaimed, his already aging face suddenly aging further!
He saw clearly, one of those heads belonged to his good friend, Tributor Lin!
He and Tributor Lin had been friends since their youth, a friendship spanning ten thousand years, almost like real brothers!
But now, his brother’s severed head had just rolled in front of him!
Exalt Huang’s eyes bloodshot, he bit down hard on his teeth, suppressing the urge to rush out of the palace and battle those murderers to the death!
At this moment, other tributors also recognized those heads.
“Tributor Li!”
“Tributor Ouyang!”
“Tributor Zhang!”
…
These dozen or so heads, surprisingly, were all the tributors sent by the Nine Remoteness Kingdom to delay the main lineage of the Mu Family!
The eyes of the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom were about to split with rage, his hand holding the Ancient Dragon Sword trembling slightly—these were his loyal subjects!
For the sake of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, they had performed numerous acts of valor!
But now, they’ve been killed like this? And moreover, so arrogantly, so despicably, these heads were brought inside the palace!
Brought before him!
How could he not be furious?
But what good would anger do? He could only endure!
Because, he knew that those outside the doors were beyond their ability to contend with!
Tap tap tap…
Outside the palace, a series of footsteps approached. Five men dressed in brocade robes, their faces cold and arrogant, slowly walked in.
The leader, with long hair fluttering, hands clasped behind him, dressed in black brocade garments, with a face somewhat resembling Mu Ye and bearing a cold murderous intent, stared at the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom.
Seeing this man in black, everyone shuddered with fear—this man was decidedly a Disaster Slaying Expert!
Moreover, he was an expert in the Third Layer of Disaster Slaying Division!
This man, was none other than the eldest son of the main Mu Family lineage, Mu You!
