Master of the Demon Emperor

Having journeyed for roughly two hours, Su Yie suddenly felt that the forest was boundless and impossible to exit.

"Could there be a restriction?"

Su Yie frowned with this thought, for with the Primordial Yellow Robe on, those evil spirits lurking in the shadows dared not approach.

But Su Yie could feel their presence.

Had an ordinary person fallen into the Immortal Scorching Ridge, they would have perished without a trace in less than half an incense stick's time.

Xiao Bai no longer clung to Su Yie's waist but flew above his head to be vigilant of the surroundings.

The trees nearby were large and tall, with no telling what dangers might be lurking in them.

"Great Cang Invincible Body! Such powerful vitality, it must remain here."

Just then, a chilling and eerie voice reached the ears of Su Yie and Xiao Bai, causing him to involuntarily get goosebumps.

He looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw in the depths of the forest, within the darkness, a pair of crimson eyes staring at him, filled with greed and a murderous intent.

Su Yie immediately threw out the Zhou Wu Sword and used the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword technique.

Whoosh—

Swordlight gleamed in the shadowy forest, and the Zhou Wu Sword scattered those eyes with a single strike.

Immediately after, such red eyes emerged from the darkness in all directions, truly a terrifying sight.

They all stared at Su Yie as if looking at prey.

Xiao Bai growled softly, attempting to drive away the red eyes, but to no avail.

"Immortal Scorching Ridge... The wronged spirits here are extremely fierce; you must be careful and cautious,"

Feng Long reminded Su Yie inside his mind, fearing that Su Yie would take the situation lightly.

However, with the Primordial Yellow Robe on, these wronged spirits did not dare to approach him readily.

The aura of Primordial Yellow could ward off evil!

Realizing the wronged spirits didn't dare to come closer, Su Yie sneered defiantly and continued to advance with raised steps.

Xiao Bai followed closely; Cultivation of the Astral Projection Realm counted for nothing in the Immortal Scorching Ridge.

After walking for a while longer, Su Yie felt increasingly that something was not right.

"Use the Sword of Defeated Grudges to absorb the surrounding wronged spirits!"

Feng Long spoke up once more, causing Su Yie to raise an eyebrow. Could the Sword of Defeated Grudges absorb souls?

"The Sword of Defeated Grudges is a nefarious sword. Only by absorbing these wronged spirits can you break the array and leave. However, doing so might awaken the Sword Soul of the Sword of Defeated Grudges."

As he said this, Feng Long's tone turned grave, obviously very wary of the Sword Soul of the Sword of Defeated Grudges.

The souls of the Seven Great Immortal Swords were all profoundly exceptional.

Su Yie held the Sword of Defeated Grudges high, pouring his demonic power into it, and immediately the Sword of Defeated Grudges began to tremble violently.

In an instant, the surrounding wronged spirits were uncontrollably sucked towards it.

"What is this?"

"Is that a nefarious sword?"

"No! It's Defeated Grudges! It's definitely Defeated Grudges!"

"Run for it!"

The wronged spirits were terror-stricken, but it was already too late.

After the Sword of Defeated Grudges absorbed several wronged spirits, its nefarious nature surged, and the sword blade trembled even more fiercely, its sucking force skyrocketing.

Like clusters of black mist with red eyes, the wronged spirits screamed as they were absorbed by the Sword of Defeated Grudges.

This scene left even Xiao Bai feeling creeped out.

What on earth was that sword?

In no time at all, all the wronged spirits in the forest had been absorbed by the Sword of Defeated Grudges.

At this moment, the Sword of Defeated Grudges was wrapped in wisps of ghostly energy, immensely terrifying, and Su Yie could even feel a heartbeat within the blade.

Could it be that the Sword Soul was about to awaken?

Su Yie was extremely nervous; after all, even Feng Long was so wary of the Sword of Defeated Grudges, would its Sword Soul prove difficult to handle?

Fortunately, the Sword Soul of the Sword of Defeated Grudges did not awaken. The ghostly aura coiling around the sword drilled into the blade, and the Sword of Defeated Grudges settled back to calmness.

"The array should be broken; let's get out quickly."

Feng Long reminded him, and Su Yie immediately flew off on his sword, with Xiao Bai closely following.

Before long, a man and a dragon flew out of the forest and came upon a cliff, facing a range of rolling mountains.

In the distant darkness of night, there was a firelight, unparalleled in its tragic beauty, as if it were the entrance to Hell.

"Is that the Immortal Emperor Peak?"

Su Yie took a deep breath. Han Yuan had mentioned that the Immortal Emperor Peak was guarded by the Divine Beast Golden Crow, but could his Abyssal Goldfire withstand the Golden Crow?

"Go, head to the Immortal Emperor Peak and awaken your bloodline."

Just then, the voice of the Silver-faced Man echoed in Su Yie's ear, making him instinctively look around.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find the Silver-faced Man anywhere.

With that thought, Su Yie leaped up, and the Zhou Wu Sword flew under his feet, propelling him straight toward the Immortal Emperor Peak.

"Could the Great Cang Invincible Body possess even greater powers?"

Su Yie thought to himself, feeling a tremendous sense of expectation towards the Immortal Emperor Peak.

The Dragon Branch, which once made Ancestor Xia invincible in the world, was waiting for him!

He remembered the words of Fang Tian Divine Fist, that if he could merge the Dragon Branch into his muscles and bones, his physical strength would be elevated to a new level.

He soared over the mountain range, aiming to reach the Immortal Emperor Peak directly.

Just then, a figure suddenly burst out from the forest on a mountain peak ahead.

With lightning speed!

The figure leaped ten thousand meters and charged at Su Yie.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yie raised the Sword of Defeated Grudges and slashed out with it.

Clang—

Blade and sword clashed, sending a shiver through Su Yie's body as he fixed his gaze on the other.

This was a dark shadow; from its figure, it appeared to have once been a Blade Wanderer, wielding twin blades condensed from resentment.

"The sword is the enemy of the blade, to slaughter all sword cultivators and forge my name as the Blade Emperor!"

The shadow glared at Su Yie and spoke coldly. Su Yie couldn't discern its true face, but its title startled him internally.

The Blade Emperor!

Already fallen, the sovereign of the blade path was someone Xia Tianyi had mentioned before.

In the Ancient Wilderness, blade cultivators and sword cultivators were as incompatible as water and fire.

There was once a blade cultivator who slaughtered sword cultivators across the world and was honored by blade wanderers as the Blade Emperor. Enshrouded by Karmic Force and driven mad, he mysteriously vanished, leaving his life or death unknown.

Unexpectedly, the Blade Emperor had come to the Immortal Scorching Ridge!

Upon this realization, Su Yie's eyes sharpened, and he displayed his Divine Skills to vanish from his spot, causing the Blade Emperor's evil spirit to lunge at thin air.

Su Yie reappeared behind it, his hand thrusting the Sword of Defeated Grudges.

His demonic power surged into the Sword of Defeated Grudges, attempting to absorb the Blade Emperor's evil spirit. Explore new worlds at empire

However, the Blade Emperor's spirit moved even faster, spinning around to deliver a kick to Su Yie's chest, the powerful force launching Su Yie to fly like a cannonball penetrating a mountain.

Xiao Bai, enraged, wanted to avenge Su Yie, but the Blade Emperor's spirit was too fast and charged straight for Su Yie, leaving Xiao Bai unable to catch up.

Amidst the rubble, Su Yie slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression icy cold.

He lifted his left hand, and the Zhou Wu Sword broke through the mountain to land in his grasp.

With both swords in hand, his courage surged, and he decided to challenge the legendary Blade Emperor.

Fortunately, all that remained of the Blade Emperor was his vengeful spirit; otherwise, Su Yie would not have been able to withstand him.

At the same time.

On the other side of the Immortal Scorching Ridge.

The Silver-faced Man stood atop the mountain peak, overlooking the entirety of the Immortal Scorching Ridge.

Above his head was a brilliant starry sky, and the cold wind fluttered his clothes. His eyes beneath the silver mask were profoundly deep, as if they could penetrate everything in the world.

"The Great Cang Invincible Body? You are underestimating yourself."

The Silver-faced Man muttered to himself, his lips curving upwards as he continued, "The Demon Star descends into the world; Xuanyuan has misplayed this move. Having you in the Mystical City is his greatest mistake. You were born a demon, and this time, I will assist you and let you become the Unmatched Demon Emperor that amazes both past and present."

...

The second update, I made a mistake in the previous chapter, Su Yie has already reached the Perfection of the Condensed Spirit Demon King Realm and is trying to break through to the Astral Projection Realm.
