117: Chapter 117 Azure Lotus Emperor Bell

Accompanied by the roar of a dragon, a black demonic dragon thousands of feet long circled above the Huayuan Holy Land.

"Saint Realm!!"

The moment the black demonic dragon appeared, Xia Zhantian sensed the terrifying aura emanating from it.

"Who on earth is this? To use a Saint Realm great demon as a mount."

"Could it be a supreme existence of the Quasi-Emperor Realm?"

"It's the Young Master," Xiao Hei said immediately upon sensing the familiar aura.

Hearing this, the eyes of Xiang Nantian and Xue Huazi lit up, and they said with immense joy, "It's the Demon Lord."

"Since the Demon Lord has arrived, it seems the Huayuan Holy Land is destined to be destroyed today."

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Space after space shattered with a bang, and several Saints stepped out.

Their expressions were incredibly solemn as they looked up at the black demonic dragon radiating Saintly Might in the sky.

In the next moment, everyone felt a terrifying pressure descend from the heavens as the massive head of the thousands-of-feet-long black demonic dragon slowly lowered.

The dragon's head was as massive as a mountain, its pitch-black scales shimmering with a cold light.

Its vast dragon eyes were like two burning suns, staring intensely at the people of the Huayuan Holy Land.

And atop that massive head stood a figure.

The owner of this figure was none other than Chu Chen.

Chu Chen looked down from above, his eyes like two sharp swords that seemed to pierce through the world.

"I seemed to hear someone calling for me just now. I'm here, where are you!"

At this moment, Xia Zhantian's back was already drenched in cold sweat. He had just been bragging; how did he happen to run into the Demon Lord?

Now he was in a bind. He knew that this Demon Lord of the Demon Court had wiped out the Qianyuan Holy Land and the Hualing Sect with a mere wave of his hand.

If he stepped forward now, he would surely be destroyed by the Demon Lord. He might as well play dumb; perhaps he could escape this calamity.

BOOM! In the next instant, an old man with decaying blood and qi stepped out from the Huayuan Holy Land.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Chu Chen.

"Demon Lord, today is a day of great joy for the Huayuan Holy Land. If you come as a guest, we naturally welcome you. But if you come to cause trouble, don't blame this Emperor for annihilating you here."

As he spoke, waves of Imperial Might rippled out from the old man's body.

"Quasi-Emperor!!"

"This is the ancient ancestor of the Huayuan Holy Land, Lord Xie."

"I didn't expect him to still be alive."

For a moment, everyone's expression changed as they felt this vast Imperial Might.

Seeing a Quasi-Emperor of the Huayuan Holy Land blocking Chu Chen, Xia Zhantian immediately jumped out again.

He glared fiercely at Xiao Hei and the others. "So what if the Demon Lord himself has come? We also have a supreme existence of the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"I said it today: no one can protect you."

However, just as Xia Zhantian finished speaking, he exploded on the spot.

Saint blood splattered everywhere as Dao Yuanzi's figure appeared.

"Disrespecting the Demon Lord is punishable by death!!" His figure then vanished, leaving Xiao Hei and the others completely bewildered.

Xiang Nantian said in shock, "So strong! This person must have been sent by the Demon Lord to help us."

"Crushing a Saint with one hand without even releasing an aura."

"From this, it's clear that this person's strength is likely that of the legendary Quasi-Emperor."

— Above the Huayuan Holy Land

"Second Stage Quasi-Emperor," Chu Chen said calmly.

"However, with your blood and qi so decayed, you're someone with half a body already in the grave."

"And yet you still come out to jump around. It just so happens I've been lacking some nourishment lately; a Second Stage Quasi-Emperor like you is quite suitable."

"Arrogant! Do you really think that just because people call you 'Demon Lord', you're invincible in this world?"

When Lord Xie's eyes, as withered as tree bark, looked at Chu Chen, endless killing intent condensed within them.

"I know of your feats, and I know you can fight a Quasi-Emperor."

"Even ordinary Quasi-Emperors are no match for you."

"But since I dare to come out, I have come prepared."

"If you retreat now, I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, after today, the news of the Demon Court's Demon Lord's demise will spread throughout the Nine Provinces."

"Noisy!!" Chu Chen's eyes turned fierce, and in the next moment, he acted without hesitation.

The ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword shattered the void, striking out a heaven-shaking sword light as the Indestructible Sword Body pierced through heaven and earth.

Lord Xie's eyes flashed with surprise; he hadn't expected the Demon Lord's casual sword strike to be comparable to the full-force blow of a First Stage Quasi-Emperor.

However, there was no fear in his eyes as terrifying Imperial Might condensed.

Instantly, it transformed into a terrifyingly massive hand, crushing the incoming sword light.

Suddenly, Lord Xie felt a prickling sensation on his back, sensing an unprecedented threat bearing down on him like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

Shock appeared in Lord Xie's eyes. How could someone silently hide behind him?

In an instant, a fist also enveloped in terrifying Imperial Might struck Lord Xie heavily.

"BOOM!"

This punch was like Mount Tai crushing an egg; space was instantly shattered, and Lord Xie's figure crashed into the ground like a cannonball in the blink of an eye.

Dao Yuanzi's figure slowly stepped out from the void, standing beside Chu Chen.

"Young Master! Young Master! I found Saintess Chu."

Xiao Hei's voice came from within the Huayuan Holy Land. Looking over, a peerless beauty stood beside Xiao Hei's figure; she was Chu Lingxuan, also known as Hua Xuan.

"Chu... Chen...!!"

Tears fell from Hua Xuan's beautiful eyes; she had finally seen Chu Chen again.

However, before Chu Chen could respond, a voice like a great bell resounded through the sky.

"Demon Lord, you have completely enraged this Emperor. Today, you shall surely perish here."

For a moment, vast Imperial Might enveloped everything as Lord Xie's figure slowly rose into the air.

At this moment, Lord Xie's entire body radiated an extremely dazzling divine light.

It was a Quasi-Emperor grade defensive armor; Chu Chen's gaze remained calm.

No wonder Dao Yuanzi hadn't killed him with one punch just now; it turned out he was wearing Quasi-Emperor grade defensive armor.

In the next moment, Lord Xie shouted loudly, "I summon the foundation of the Huayuan Holy Land, the green lotus imperial bell!"

As Lord Xie's voice fell...

"Dong... Dong!!"

A streak of azure divine light, carrying supreme Imperial Might, emerged from the depths of the Huayuan Holy Capital.

Accompanied by the tolling of the bell, waves of destructive aura swept across the four seas and eight directions.

As the azure light dissipated, an ancient-looking azure bell appeared above the Huayuan Holy Land.

"I didn't expect you to have a Quasi-Emperor puppet hidden by your side."

"If it weren't for this Quasi-Emperor grade defensive armor on me, I might have truly died at the hands of this Quasi-Emperor puppet."

"But now, you have no more chances."

As he finished speaking, the aura on Lord Xie's body continued to grow.

In just a few breaths, he transformed from a white-haired old man into a young man.

"Ultimate Sublimation?" There was a hint of surprise in Chu Chen's eyes.

"You really don't want to live, performing Ultimate Sublimation right at the start."

"An Ultimate Sublimation Second Stage Quasi-Emperor, plus an Imperial Weapon, can indeed allow one to look down upon all others in the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"However, it's still not enough before me. The peak combat power you exchanged your life for is no different in my eyes."

Chu Chen's voice was incredibly cold. With one step forward, a Black Lotus bloomed, and his cultivation instantly broke through to the Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor.

The terrifying aura radiating from him crushed the void, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Lord Xie.

"This emperors treasure of yours is indeed not bad, but in front of me, you won't even have the chance to use it."
