129: The Name of the Bone Emperor

“Oh, good eyesight.”

Under the gaze of several people, East Emperor Taiyi revealed himself from the flames, dressed in a red brocade robe, observing the Bone Cultivator opposite him with interest.

“Not bad, kid. You’ve entered the Great Emperor Realm at such a young age. Are you interested in joining my Demon God Hall?”

In the current Tianxuan Continent, there are few powerful beasts, and even fewer that can reach the Great Emperor Realm.

Currently, only Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi are well-known among the demons. Upon seeing Bone Cultivator, who also Cultivated as a beast in such circumstances, East Emperor Taiyi naturally felt a sense of appreciation for his talent.

When he was born, he had learned a lot about the world's situation through Dragon Flame and other demons. As for Bone Cultivator, he had only Cultivated for a little over forty thousand years since entering the Dao, yet he had already attained the Great Emperor Realm in such a short time. His talent, it seemed, was even greater than that of their two brothers.

“Hmm?”

Facing East Emperor Taiyi’s recruitment, Bone Cultivator’s originally solemn expression faltered, as if he hadn't expected the other party to blurt out such a remark. But after regaining his composure, he decisively refused.

“The Demon Emperor is joking. My achievements today are all thanks to Palace Lord’s nurturing. How could I abandon him for your words alone?”

“Tsk.”

East Emperor Taiyi was not surprised by Bone Cultivator’s refusal. After all, if he could sway a Great Emperor Realm expert to surrender with just a single sentence, then he would truly be formidable.

However, East Emperor Taiyi’s attention was quickly drawn to another matter.

“Palace Lord…”

East Emperor Taiyi murmured, then looked at Bone Cultivator opposite him, asking curiously.

“Was the one who acted as your Protector earlier your Palace Lord? Did he not come here with you?”

Compared to Bone Cultivator, who had just Broken Through, East Emperor Taiyi was more interested in Lin Xiao.

Facing the other party’s question, Bone Cultivator had no intention of answering, only responding with silence.

“How boring.”

Seeing this, East Emperor Taiyi also lost interest. As he turned to leave, he didn't forget to leave another message.

“Kid, tell your Palace Lord that I will definitely pay him a visit another day.”

And seeing their Demon Emperor about to leave, Dragon Flame dared not delay. After a reluctant glance in Blue Heart’s direction, he turned to follow him out.

It seemed East Emperor Taiyi had no intention of killing that woman, Blue Heart, and he himself was certainly no match for Bone Cultivator. So, no matter how unwilling he was, this was the only way now.

“Wait!”

“Hmm?”

Hearing the voice from behind him, East Emperor Taiyi, who had just torn open a space channel and was about to leave, paused slightly. He turned his body slightly, raising an eyebrow at Bone Cultivator, as if questioning with his eyes if there was anything else.

“Demon Emperor, please do as you wish.”

Bone Cultivator turned his gaze to Dragon Flame beside him, speaking indifferently.

“But Dragon Flame, he cannot leave.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Dragon Flame’s expression instantly changed. He turned and looked at Bone Cultivator with hatred, grinding his teeth.

“Bone Cultivator, you…”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, East Emperor Taiyi’s eyes narrowed slightly. After turning his body back around, his gaze lingered on Bone Cultivator and Blue Heart for a moment, then he said slowly.

“Kid, don’t think that just because you’ve Broken Through to the Emperor Realm, you’re truly invincible. With me here today, you can’t touch anyone.”

Buzz!

As soon Emperor Taiyi’s words fell, a powerful pressure instantly erupted from his body, directly shattering Bone Cultivator’s pressure and enveloping this part of the world. As it swept across, both Bone Cultivator and Blue Heart felt a burning sensation on their faces.

“East Emperor Taiyi…”

As Bone Cultivator emitted his pressure to resist, a solemn expression also appeared on his face. In his newly acquired Great Emperor’s Will, the terrifying aura emanating from East Emperor Taiyi before him felt like a small sun.

“Ah, a Demon Emperor, how interesting.”

Just then, a somewhat curious voice sounded out of thin air. Looking at the figure slowly emerging from the Void Realm beside him, Bone Cultivator’s originally solemn expression instantly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

“Hmm?”

Noticing a figure suddenly appear opposite him, East Emperor Taiyi raised an eyebrow slightly. He looked at the somewhat unfamiliar face holding a folding fan, and he was also stunned. Who was this?

As East Emperor Taiyi was momentarily stunned, the scene before him instantly made his eyes widen. Another invisible pressure erupted from this person who appeared out of nowhere.

Upon colliding with his own pressure, it was instantly shattered, and in a blink of an eye, it completely covered this part of the world. The waves below surged violently, and tsunamis followed one after another, as if the end of the world had arrived.

And not just here, this pressure expanded outwards from this sea area at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, enveloping the entire Tianxuan Continent in no time, once again alarming countless powerful individuals.

“This…”

In Yaoguang Holy Land, Liu Yuan looked towards the North Sea, feeling the many auras emanating from it, and his expression instantly became strange.

“How did those two dead birds manage to provoke this plague god?”

Not only him, but others such as Zhang Wuji and the other three also showed surprise after feeling this pressure.

Having been extorted not long ago, they were naturally very familiar with this aura, even to the point of remembering it vividly.

And they were also no strangers to the commotion East Emperor Taiyi had caused earlier, after all, they had been deadly rivals for countless tens of thousands of years.

And looking at the situation, it was clear that the man and the demon were at loggerheads. Facing such a lively event, the few of them naturally didn't want to miss it. Their Emperor's Will rose from the Central Domain and extended towards the North Sea.

As for going there in person, they decided against it. They were afraid of being extorted again. It was better to just watch from a distance.

In the Demon Domain, within the Demon God Hall.

Emperor Jun suddenly stood up from his stone seat, feeling the colliding pressures, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of solemnity flashed through them.

“So strong, who is this person?”

As he spoke, Emperor Jun also moved his thoughts, sending out his Emperor's Will, extending it northward.

In the Bone Spirit Mountain Range, An Lan, who was leading Lan Ruobing back, looked helplessly at the massive pressure sweeping across the sky. His Emperor's Will, which had just spread out, slowly retracted.

It seemed he didn't need to worry about this matter.

At this moment, East Emperor Taiyi at the scene did not know how many people they had alarmed. Of course, even if he did, he probably wouldn't have the time to care.

At this moment, he no longer had the arrogant expression he had when he first appeared. Feeling the pressure that was clearly superior to his own, only one thought remained in his mind.

Great Emperor of the Fourth Realm, who is this guy? Why have I never heard of him?

“Don’t be so hot-headed.”

The newcomer teased the other party, then looked at the person beside him, joking.

“Yo, are you alright, Bone Cultivator?”

“I’m fine.”

Bone Cultivator shook his head slightly, then a hint of apology appeared on his face, and he said softly.

“I’ve troubled you again, Palace Lord.”

“Hey, why are you being so polite with me?”

Lin Xiao patted the other party’s shoulder casually, then his gaze fell on Blue Heart, and he grinned, saying.

“Illusory Blue Empress, I suppose this is our first meeting.”

Although Lin Xiao had been Bone Cultivator’s strategist for several years, this was indeed his first time meeting her in person.

“Blue Heart greets Palace Lord.”

Upon hearing this, Blue Heart also quickly bowed in response.

Although she had seen Lin Xiao during her perception of his battle with Bone Cultivator, this was her first time interacting with him so closely. Facing such a Great Emperor, Blue Heart was more or less uncomfortable.

Lin Xiao’s gaze, however, swept back and forth between the two for a moment, and a teasing expression appeared on his face.

“I used to only hear Bone Cultivator mention her, but today I finally get to see the Immortal Master.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the two, who had been relatively normal, instantly became flustered. Bone Cultivator’s mouth twitched continuously. He never expected his Palace Lord to pull such a stunt at this moment, and his aloof expression instantly became difficult to maintain.

Blue Heart also looked at Bone Cultivator with a slight blush. This guy, he really did have feelings for me all along!

“Cough, cough, may I ask.”

Just then, a slightly displeased voice came from afar, breaking the strange atmosphere at the scene. Several people subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and then saw East Emperor Taiyi looking at them with an ugly expression, cupping his hands in salute to Lin Xiao.

“May I ask, is this the Palace Lord of Wuji Palace?”

At this moment, East Emperor Taiyi’s mood was at its worst. From the conversation between the few people just now, he understood the other party’s identity.

That Wuji Palace Palace Lord, who was said to be quite mysterious. Previously, he and his brother Emperor Jun had thought this person was at most a Third Realm Emperor like them.

Unexpectedly, with a single move today, his mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

A Great Emperor of the Fourth Realm, if such a being existed, why would they bother invading the Human Race? They might as well go back and sleep.

Of course, these were all later matters. What made East Emperor Taiyi most uncomfortable was that after this person arrived, he kept chatting endlessly with the people around him, as if they didn't exist.

He was, after all, the leader of all demons in the world, East Emperor Taiyi, a Third Realm Emperor. How could he have ever been so ignored? It was simply outrageous, which was why he couldn't help but interrupt just now.

If they kept chatting, the sky would probably turn dark.

“You have good eyesight.”

Lin Xiao waved the Long Yao Folding Fan in his hand, looking directly at the two opposite him, and said indifferently.

“Speak, what do you mean? Are you going to cripple that little mud loach yourself, or do you want me to do it personally?”

As soon as Lin Xiao said this, the expressions of East Emperor Taiyi and Dragon Flame both changed. Neither of them expected the other party to be so direct, getting straight to the point.

At this moment, several Emperor's Will also arrived at the scene. Upon hearing these words, they couldn't help but click their tongues. Goodness, it seemed they had arrived at just the right time, just in time for the exciting part.

To immediately want to cripple the current Hall Master of the Demon God Hall, this Palace Lord was truly overbearing enough.

“Lord East Emperor…”

At this moment, Dragon Flame no longer had his previous arrogant demeanor. Under the gaze of Lin Xiao and Bone Cultivator, two Great Emperors, he continuously swallowed his saliva and cast a pleading look at East Emperor Taiyi.

“Shut up.”

After giving Dragon Flame a cold glance, East Emperor Taiyi retracted his gaze. He knew that all these troubles were caused by this good-for-nothing.

But despite his anger, East Emperor Taiyi naturally couldn't abandon his subordinate like this under the gaze of so many people. He then took a step forward, shielding Dragon Flame behind him, looking directly at Lin Xiao, and said in a deep voice.

“Palace Lord is joking. This is merely a small conflict between two juniors. If we interfere, wouldn’t it make us a laughingstock to the world?”

“Hmm?”

East Emperor Taiyi’s remarks also surprised Lin Xiao. He then gave a strange glance at Blue Heart and Dragon Flame.

Meow meow, how could you say such a thing? How many tens of thousands of years has your junior lived?

However, for Great Emperors like them who had lived for over a hundred thousand years, these words were, in a sense, not wrong.

However, Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't give up just because of the other party's words.

“You don’t need to play word games with me. Today, this little mud loach can be spared from death, but not from punishment.”

Seeing this, Liu Yuan and the others who were watching couldn’t help but click their tongues, then their gazes all fell on East Emperor Taiyi, watching him with interest.

They knew the temperament of this East Emperor. Being forced like this, what choice would he make?

“…”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, East Emperor Taiyi instantly fell silent. After a moment, his expression returned to calm. He looked directly at Lin Xiao, slowly raised his right arm, and as he opened his palm, a calm voice containing a hint of madness slowly sounded.

“Since that’s the case, then please, Palace Lord, let’s have a battle.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Lin Xiao and the onlookers like Liu Yuan, were stunned. Their faces all showed expressions of utter shock. No one expected the other party to make such a decision.

And no matter how much they thought about it, it wouldn't affect East Emperor Taiyi, who had already begun to act in the field. As he spoke, the temperature of the world also began to rise.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a small bell slowly emerged from his palm, eventually growing larger against the wind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant bell covered with ancient, mottled patterns. Immediately after, a domineering voice followed.

“East, Emperor, Bell!”
