Chapter 228: Su Chen’s Connections

Only to see, not far away, two sword auras rising.
The sword auras reached the azure sky, like two mountains constructed from a sea of swords, pressing down from above the heavens. Their terrifying power made one’s hair stand on end before even getting close.
“What… What’s going on?”
The armored man’s hair stood on end. He looked at the two surging sword seas charging at him at high speed and retreated in shock. He was completely bewildered. What was happening? He had never offended any enemies in the past! Also, ever since entering the God Demon Sect’s ruins, he had kept a low profile and avoided drawing too much attention! Usually when seizing opportunities, he would directly kill the other party, not giving them any chance to resist. But why… The moment he was about to make a move against Su Chen, people appeared one after another to obstruct him?
Boom!
Boom!
Two consecutive loud explosions rang out. The armored man couldn’t help but grunt as he tumbled back several hundred miles. He looked at the figure rushing over from afar and struggled to stand up, saying, “You… Flaming… Flaming Fire Holy Land!”
Inky Sea Island was a sea force, rarely appearing within the East Barrens, and there was no enmity between the two sides. Therefore, he couldn’t understand why the other side attacked him as soon as they arrived.
“Flaming Fire Holy Land! Do you also want to become enemies with my Inky Sea Island?”
The armored man asked coldly.
But compared to when he spoke to Elder Wang earlier, he sounded now somewhat less confident.
“If you oppose Young Friend Su Chen, it means you oppose me too!”
Flame Lord and his junior brother descended from the heavens. They only glanced indifferently at the people present before heading straight to Su Chen’s side, smiling and saying, “Young Friend Su Chen, I’ve come a bit late, please do not blame me!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s already good that Flame Lord could make it here,” Su Chen waved his hand and replied smilingly.
However, his smile seemed somewhat unfathomable in the armored man’s eyes. It was true that their Inky Sea Island had no relation with the Flaming Fire Holy Land. But logically, the newly risen Great Mystery Sacred Sect should also have no ties with the Flaming Fire Holy Land! After all, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect was merely a small sect a few years ago. It had only recently risen swiftly. In recent times, there were no rumors in the East Barrens saying the Great Mystery Holy Son Su Chen had gone to the territory of the Flaming Fire Holy Land! So, why would these two elders help Su Chen?
Thinking of this, he also realized something was amiss. He took a deep breath, solemnly asking, “The Black Tortoise’s blood essence has appeared, yet remains ownerless. Are you determined to stop me?”
He was not only speaking to Flame Lord but also intended for Elder Wang to hear. Since things had come to this point, he did not believe these Quasi-Saint Realm experts who rushed over could not tell the Black Tortoise’s blood essence had appeared here.
Yet strangely, none of them showed any reaction, as if not seeing the anomaly of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence at all. They seemed to have rushed over specially to aid Su Chen. Wasn’t this too abnormal?
“The Black Tortoise’s blood essence belongs to Young Friend Su Chen. It’s still not too late if you leave now. If you delay a moment longer, I’m afraid…”
Elder Wang flashed to Su Chen’s side and spoke indifferently.
However, before he could finish speaking, a loud rumble sounded.
Boom!
Only to see a majestic figure appear in the firmament. He wore black dragon robes and a purple jade crown. His entire body emanated a terrifying aura, sweeping out like a sea in all directions. The instant he appeared, strange signs emerged between heaven and earth. He stood with hands clasped behind his back, his pitch-black eyes indifferently sweeping over them, and his body carrying an aura capable of sweeping across the vast expanse of the world.
“It was you who made a move against Young Friend Su Chen earlier?”
A dignified voice sounded between heaven and earth. He was like a supreme emperor overlooking the world as if all living beings were his subjects.
“This is… The Dasui Emperor?”
Seeing this person, the armored man froze in place. At this moment, he even felt like dying. Just what kind of existence had he provoked? He had merely wanted to snatch the Black Tortoise’s blood essence from Su Chen, that was all! Yet so many powerful figures had appeared all at once?
Moreover…
From beginning to end, he hadn’t even touched a corner of Su Chen’s clothes! But he was the one being beaten up by all the mighty figures appearing.
The Dasui Emperor in the sky had long been famed. This person had cultivated for thousands of years already. There had always been rumors he could step into the Saint Realm. Unfortunately, at the final moment before transcending the Saint Tribulation, his beloved son was poisoned. The Dasui Emperor had exhaustively used up all of his empire’s precious treasures to barely save his son’s life.
If he hadn’t guessed wrong, this Dasui Emperor should be here to seek medicinal pills. But he couldn’t understand why the Dasui Empire would come to stir up trouble here instead of properly searching for divine medicines! Did they have nothing better to do?
“It looks like you truly wanted to make a move against Young Friend Su Chen.”
The Dasui Emperor said coldly. His golden hair fluttered as he stretched out a hand.
Boom!
A massive bell instantly appeared in his palm. Its material was unknown, but it emitted a terrifying power the moment it emerged. The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers were engraved upon the bell. The instant the bell appeared, everything seemed to come alive. Every picture was vivid, manifesting real scenes.
“Since you want to harm Young Friend Su Chen, leave this life behind to atone for your sins!” the Dasui Emperor said calmly.
As he finished speaking, he did not give the other party any chance to react or plead for mercy.
Boom!
Terrifying spiritual power erupted from his palm.
Rumble!
The next moment, the bell rumbled loudly. Sound waves spread out like tidal waves. The boundless power turned into an ocean, as if countless stars were simultaneously exploding, sweeping out with supreme might.
Rumble!
In an instant, heaven and earth were overturned. The land within a thousand-mile radius was completely engulfed. Looking around, mountain peaks began crumbling into dust. The terrifying might enveloped the five Quasi-Saint Realm experts of Inky Sea Island, not giving them any chance to flee.
“Peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm!”
The armored man’s expression suddenly changed. The outside world had long rumored that this Dasui Emperor was about to become a saint, but many did not believe it. Not even he believed the Dasui Emperor was nearing the Saint Realm. Yet now, the truth was laid bare before his eyes, leaving him with no choice but to believe.
The Dasui Emperor’s every action already contained traces of saintly might.. Although this saintly aura was very faint, it still signified the Dasui Emperor had already taken half a step into the Saint Realm! As long as he was willing, he could summon the Saint Tribulation and become a true Saint Realm powerhouse at any time!
