107: Chapter 107 Demon God
The people around them also exclaimed in shock: "It's actually a Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor!"
A powerhouse in the Undergoing Tribulation Realm can be called a Great Emperor, and they are considered absolute high-level figures even throughout the entire Tianheng Continent.
Even for the Prodigies on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, only the top ten have the qualifications to aspire to this Realm in the future.
Even though the Prodigy Tournament has been held until now, only Integration Venerables have appeared.
The Lust Demon glanced at Chu Nanxuan with a look of mockery, waved a large hand, and a massive Aura pressed directly toward Chu Nanxuan.
"What?" Chu Nanxuan was shocked to see the other party attack without saying a word.
Could it be a descendant of an old enemy?
No, that's not right. At the time, everyone believed Emperor Nanxuan had been killed by Liu Yan. He was dead, so even if there was any hatred, it should have vanished into smoke.
"Damn it!" Seeing the Lust Demon's attack, Chu Nanxuan didn't hesitate at all, instantly mobilizing all the Spiritual Qi in his body and condensing it into a defensive shield in front of him without holding anything back.
"Boom—"
A sound like shattering glass rang out, and Chu Nanxuan knelt on the ground, looking extremely disheveled.
"You're not dead, kid." The Lust Demon landed slowly, looking down at Chu Nanxuan from above.
The passersby around them saw the purple Qi emanating from the Lust Demon and immediately fell into a panic.
"It's a Devil Emperor from the Demon Race, run!"
This is a Devil Emperor!!!
"This is Tianji City. It won't be long before the Great Emperors of the Tianji Pavilion come to deal with him." One person on the side said, trembling.
"Idiot, by the time the Great Emperors of the Tianji Pavilion arrive, this Devil Emperor will have killed us countless times!"
"Do you think I don't want to run? My legs are weak; I can't move."
The Lust Demon looked at Chu Nanxuan and slightly raised his chin, his rotting eye sockets staring at Chu Nanxuan.
"How boring." The Lust Demon looked up at the crowd scattering and fleeing: "And they call themselves the Tianji Pavilion."
After speaking, the Lust Demon moved his fingers slightly, and the body of the man who had just said his legs were weak exploded instantly.
Chu Nanxuan looked at the Lust Demon with a gloomy face. Although he was a Great Emperor Rebirth, the person opposite him was a real, living Great Emperor!
Below the Great Emperor, everyone is an ant.
Although he currently has Soul Transformation cultivation and can even compete with Return to Void Cultivators, facing a Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation means certain death!
"I cannot hesitate anymore." Chu Nanxuan closed his eyes, and a ball of flames instantly ignited within his body.
"Emperor Fire!!!"
Red-gold flames shot up from under Chu Nanxuan's feet, illuminating the entire ferry landing in a reddish-orange hue.
The bluestone slabs cracked under the intense heat, the air twisted and deformed, and Spiritual Qi from all directions was drawn in like a whirlpool, crazily pouring into the flames.
Chu Nanxuan slowly opened his eyes amidst the flames, his originally black eyes turning crimson.
The Lust Demon's originally playful expression changed suddenly after sensing Chu Nanxuan's Aura.
"Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor!" The Lust Demon looked at the delicate youth in the flames, a look of terror appearing in his rotting eye sockets.
How is this possible? The kid he had just dismissed as an ant had actually broken through to the Undergoing Tribulation cultivation in an instant.
"Kid, who are you?" The Lust Demon asked, looking at Chu Nanxuan with a gloomy face.
The Lust Demon knew he had been set up by the old men of the Tianji Pavilion. Originally, he had wondered why a mere Prodigy from the Heavenly Pride Ranking would require a Devil Emperor like him to make a move.
As for the Tianji Pavilion's claim that it was currently the Prodigy Tournament and it was inconvenient for them to act, that was a lie. How many years had the Tianji Pavilion been rooted in this Tianji City? Moreover, the Prodigy Tournament happens every hundred years, and it is not uncommon for Prodigies to die in Tianji City during the tournament.
Furthermore, this Chu Nanxuan was just a Loose Cultivator. Even if he was the second-ranked Prodigy on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, for the Tianji Pavilion, making him disappear without anyone knowing would be as simple as crushing an ant.
Chu Nanxuan's crimson eyes showed no emotion as he looked majestically at the Lust Demon.
This was Chu Nanxuan's trump card; he could briefly obtain his full cultivation from his Peak period, but it could only last for fifteen minutes.
But that was enough!
He was just an ant who had recently broken through to Undergoing Tribulation.
"The one who will kill you is Emperor Nanxuan!" Chu Nanxuan said to the Lust Demon.
The Lust Demon stared at Chu Nanxuan with a grim expression. He could feel that although they were both in the Undergoing Tribulation Realm, Chu Nanxuan's was stronger than his. In terms of cultivation, he was only at the Early Stage of Undergoing Tribulation, while Chu Nanxuan was at the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation.
Although he wouldn't be killed instantly, if they really fought, he would definitely not be able to defeat Chu Nanxuan.
"The Aura is unstable; this is not his true cultivation."
However, no one who can break through to the Undergoing Tribulation cultivation is a mediocre person. The Lust Demon quickly realized the issue with Chu Nanxuan's Undergoing Tribulation cultivation.
His Spiritual Qi was dropping at a very fast rate. Although he didn't know what special method he used to achieve this cultivation, as long as he could hold out for a period of time, his cultivation would definitely drop.
Chu Nanxuan flashed and appeared in front of the Lust Demon in an instant.
The orange-red flames fell. Although the Lust Demon had already mobilized all his Spiritual Qi for defense, he had not expected Chu Nanxuan's attack to be so domineering.
"Pfft!" The Lust Demon spat out a mouthful of blood.
"The one who will kill you is Emperor Nanxuan!" Chu Nanxuan said indifferently.
The Lust Demon did not hesitate and turned into black smoke to leave.
Chu Nanxuan had long seen that the opponent wanted to run. He just stretched out his hand lightly, and the orange-red flames covering the sky rolled back like a tide. A giant Fire Dragon condensed in an instant, and the Fire Dragon rushed toward the Lust Demon with overwhelming power.
But just as the Fire Dragon was about to touch the Lust Demon, an old man appeared and raised his hand to neutralize the Fire Dragon.
Another Great Emperor!
The old man glanced at the extremely disheveled Lust Demon on the side and chuckled.
The Lust Demon also glared fiercely at the old man.
The remaining Cultivators nearby saw the old man appear and poked their heads out, looking pleasantly surprised.
"We are saved, it's a Great Emperor from the Tianji Pavilion."
"The Tianji Pavilion has arrived; the heavens have arrived."
"With the Great Emperor of the Tianji Pavilion here, let's see how arrogant this Devil Emperor can be!!!"
...
The old man controlled the Lust Demon with his Spiritual Qi and bowed to the surrounding Cultivators.
"Everyone, you have been frightened." His voice was old and steady, carrying a majesty that made people involuntarily quiet down.
"This time, the Demon Race Cultivator snuck into Tianji City and offended you, Fellow Daoists. It is entirely due to the oversight of our Tianji Pavilion."
"During these few days of the Prodigy Tournament, the eyes of the whole city have been focused on the arena, which allowed these petty people to take advantage of the situation. On behalf of the Tianji Pavilion, I apologize to everyone."
As the old man spoke, he actually bent down and bowed deeply to the Cultivators in all directions.
This was a Great Emperor! The people around did not dare to accept this bow from a Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor and said repeatedly:
"We dare not, we dare not."
"The Great Emperor is too kind."
"We are already extremely grateful that the Tianji Pavilion saved our lives."
...
Every person's face carried the relief of surviving a disaster, and they had even more respect for this Great Emperor of the Tianji Pavilion.
The Lust Demon looked at the old man with eyes full of contempt. Clearly, he had been drinking tea and laughing with him just a moment ago, and even his coming to find Chu Nanxuan had been arranged by this guy. Yet now, he was here playing the good guy. How hypocritical. Of course, the Lust Demon could only keep this contempt in his heart.
The old man's gaze fell slowly on Chu Nanxuan.
At this time, Chu Nanxuan's time had not yet passed, and he still maintained his Undergoing Tribulation cultivation.
"Little friend must be the Loose Cultivator Prodigy Chu Nanxuan." The old man's tone was gentle, his gaze kind like an elder: "Although I don't know what secret method little friend used to block this Devil Emperor, I thank you again on behalf of the Tianji Pavilion."
He paused, his gaze lingering on Chu Nanxuan for a moment, a trace of imperceptible deep meaning flashing in his eyes, and continued: "Little friend has consumed a lot in this battle. If you don't mind, why not accompany me to the Tianji Pavilion to rest for a while."
Chu Nanxuan squinted at the other party. It seemed that this Tianji Pavilion was not a good person either!
After having Undergoing Tribulation cultivation, he had realized that this Great Emperor of the Tianji Pavilion had arrived long ago but had delayed acting. Moreover, in this space, besides the old man in front of him, there were at least four other Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors, all of whom should belong to this Tianji Pavilion.
Chu Nanxuan knew that if he said he was unwilling, these Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors would force him to go with them.
Now that his Undergoing Tribulation cultivation was about to fade, it was better to go and see what they actually wanted to do.
"Fine, then I thank you, Senior." Chu Nanxuan said.
After Chu Nanxuan entered the Tianji Pavilion, the old man walked slowly to the place where the Lust Demon was being held.
"Aren't you going to let me go, you old scoundrel." The Lust Demon said, glaring fiercely at the old man.
The old man chuckled and untied the Lust Demon's restraints: "Lust Demon, I really didn't expect that kid to have such a secret method. I apologize to you here."
The Lust Demon just snorted coldly: "Apologize? It would be better to give me a few more opportunities for divination."
"That won't do."
The Lust Demon didn't say anything else, snorted coldly, and escaped into the space.
Outside Tianji City, in a small tavern.
The Lust Demon knelt on one knee on the cold floor tiles, his only remaining eye on his half-rotten face staring fixedly at the dust in the cracks of the floor, his breathing pressed to the lightest level.
In front of him was a slender man wearing a very plain white robe. The hem of his robe hung on the dust-filled floor tiles, yet it was spotless.
At his feet lay dozens of corpses scattered in all directions. It looked like the owner of the tavern and the guests who came here.
Severed limbs and torsos were scattered among the overturned wine tables, and fresh blood slowly flowed from the edges of the shattered wine cup fragments, gathering into a dark red shallow pool on the uneven floor tiles. The heavy smell of blood mixed with the lingering scent of inferior wine in the tavern, stirred by the night wind, rushed straight into the nostrils.
On the man's lap, a seductive woman was lying on the man's knees, using her fair, tender fingers to stroke the man's face with a wicked smile.
The Lust Demon breathed heavily, not daring to look at the man in front of him, and said respectfully: "Everything is as the Demon God expected."
