252: Chapter 252 The Quasi-Emperor of the Imperial Family, Facing Another Quasi-Emperor!

At the Peak of a mountain, Ye Chen's entire body radiated a terrifying pressure, causing the surrounding space to collapse and the Void Realm to tremble.

With every breath, wisps of black lightning energy drifted from his nostrils.

The Saint King Realm Heavenly Tribulation just now was far more powerful than any Heavenly Tribulation he had faced before.

If an ordinary expert of the second or third layer of the Saint King Realm were to face it, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single bolt of tribulation lightning.

To survive the previous Saint King Realm Heavenly Tribulation, which could be described as world-ending, only a Late Stage Saint King Realm expert could do it.

But now, this Heavenly Tribulation, which was enough to obliterate the vast majority of Saint King Realm experts, had all been converted into energy.

It had become an excellent aid for him to make a Breakthrough in his cultivation and acquire energy!

"Boom!"

A rumbling sound echoed from within Ye Chen's body, and the pressure of his cultivation aura surged dramatically.

Ye Chen's eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation only allowed my Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base to reach the Second Layer of the Saint King Realm?"

"As expected, after making a Breakthrough to the Saint King Realm, the energy required is simply too vast."

"It's no wonder that Quasi-Emperor experts are so rare in this world."

"Not only is the power of Law difficult to comprehend, but the required energy is also too immense."

"If other Saint King Realm experts want to break through a single layer of cultivation, they would probably need to spend tens of thousands of years accumulating energy!"

Saying this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and stood up.

He had originally thought that this time would help his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base break through to the same level as his comprehension of Sword Intent.

To his surprise, it only barely allowed his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base to break through from the Peak First Layer of the Saint King Realm to the Second Layer.

It was only at the level of just having broken through to the Second Layer of the Saint King Realm, not a single bit more.

Fortunately, he possessed a method like the Universe in the Sleeve to quickly obtain cultivation energy.

Otherwise, if he wanted to break through his cultivation in the future, he would probably have to rely on time to pile it up, just like other Saint King Realm experts!

"Interesting, directly devouring the energy of tribulation lightning to use for oneself? This method is indeed novel."

"No wonder the Heavenly Tribulation had just appeared, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it inexplicably vanished."

"However, no matter what methods you possess today, you shall perish here!"

Just then, a middle-aged man's voice, carrying a faint killing intent, resounded through this space.

Hearing the voice in his ear, Ye Chen's expression changed dramatically. The power within his body instantly surged out as he barked, "Who is there?!"

His Divine Soul power surged out frantically, scanning the surrounding space in an attempt to search for the source of the voice.

Yet, no matter how much his Divine Soul power searched, he could not find the source of the voice.

It was as if he was the only one existing here, with no one else around.

Sensing this, a deep solemnity arose in Ye Chen's heart.

He knew that this time, he had encountered a truly powerful expert—one formidable enough to make him risk everything.

The visitor's strength had already exceeded the scope of the Saint King Realm, reaching an unimaginable level.

A Quasi-Emperor expert! A Quasi-Emperor expert had targeted him, wanting to slay him here!

"An impressive Divine Soul strength, but that is all. It still cannot change your fate of defeat and death today!"

The middle-aged man's voice rang out once more, but this time, appearing alongside the voice...

...was an ordinary-looking figure of a middle-aged man, silently appearing in the Void Realm not far from Ye Chen.

Even though there was not the slightest trace of a powerful aura lingering around this middle-aged man,

the moment his figure appeared, Ye Chen sensed a boundless threat.

In just an instant, the boundless aura of threat completely enveloped him.

This feeling of extreme threat made him feel the breath of death.

Without a doubt, the newcomer was indeed as he had anticipated... a Quasi-Emperor expert!

Staring at the middle-aged man without blinking, Ye Chen was ready to summon his Imperial Weapon, the futu sword, at any moment.

With an unprecedentedly solemn expression, he questioned in a low voice,

"Who are you? Why have you come to ambush and kill me?"

As he spoke, he activated the Immortal Demon Transformation - Demon God Transformation, and also unleashed the Secret of Fighting, one of the Nine Secrets.

Except for the Law of Heaven and Earth and the True Dragon Body, which could physically transform his body, he activated all other combat power boosts!

Facing a Quasi-Emperor expert, he could not afford the slightest carelessness and had to go all out!

Otherwise, with even the slightest slip-up, he would highly likely end up truly defeated and dead!

Sensing the rapidly skyrocketing aura on Ye Chen's body, the middle-aged man could not help but narrow his eyes.

"This level of strength is already enough to reign supreme within the Saint King Realm. Truly a remarkable method."

"If the one who came today were not me, but any other Peak Saint King Realm expert,"

"perhaps you really would have had a chance to escape today, or even slay that expert."

"Unfortunately, the one who came today is me—one of the only two Quasi-Emperors of the current Imperial Clan Cheng Family."

"Junior, now that you see a Quasi-Emperor, why do you not kneel?!"

Before his voice could fade, a faint Emperor's Might emerged from his body, instantly crushing all of Ye Chen's pressure.

And it continued to ruthlessly press down towards where Ye Chen stood.

As this Emperor's Might emerged, the rules of heaven and earth trembled violently, as if welcoming the arrival of the Emperor's Might.

This was the power of a Quasi-Emperor—when the Emperor's Might appears, heaven and earth welcome it!

Sensing this Emperor's Might, Ye Chen no longer hesitated for a second, activating both the Law of Heaven and Earth and the True Dragon Body at the same time.

"Roar!"

Facing a Quasi-Emperor expert, he would not hesitate even if he had to expose all his trump cards.

Perhaps today, in his Saint King form, he would slay a... Quasi-Emperor expert!
