118: Chapter 118 The Dragon Emperor's Pursuit! The Underground Secret Realm Opens!
"H-how is this possible?!"
The Black Feather Saber King looked down at his severed body, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Then, he collapsed to the ground, the light of life in his eyes rapidly fading.
Seeing the Black Feather Saber King's death, Xiao Tianyu's pupils contracted sharply, and the killing intent in his eyes surged to its peak. "Bastard!!!"
Violent, blood-red true qi erupted from his body as the 【Blood Bath Dragon Transformation Scripture】 was pushed to its limit!
His body swelled dramatically, covered in dragon scales!
"Kill!!"
Xiao Tianyu roared and charged forward with overwhelming force.
His Dragon Spear thrust out continuously, spear radiance like a violent storm, sweeping like meteors. Both speed and power reached a level unattainable by ordinary martial artists.
Chu Tianxing swung his golden lion precious saber, blocking each of the opponent's attacks one by one.
Then, black true qi erupted from his body, and he took out and put on the black god mask.
Using 【Evil Ghost Entanglement】 and the black god mask together, his power reached its peak. His Combat Power instantly broke through to over two hundred thousand!
Clang!
Clang!
Saber and spear collided over a dozen times.
Then, Xiao Tianyu was sent staggering back dozens of steps, and a crack actually appeared in his Dragon Spear from the successive impacts.
His expression changed drastically. "How could his power have increased to this extent in such a short time?!"
He found it unbelievable.
Just a few days ago, he could still suppress the other.
But now, he was the one being suppressed!
"dragon binding lock!!"
Xiao Tianyu took out the profound weapon that had subdued Chu Tianxing a few days ago!
The dragon binding lock shot towards Chu Tianxing.
But having learned from the last experience, Chu Tianxing was already prepared. 【Wind Thunder Wings】 activated, his speed reached its limit, turning into an afterimage of lightning.
This dragon binding lock simply couldn't catch up!
While evading the dragon binding lock, sword aura howled around Chu Tianxing's body, and his saber intent crazily increased, reaching its peak!
Saber Dragon Hegemon Body, activate!!
With his physique activated, Chu Tianxing's Combat Power climbed yet another level.
At this moment, one could very well call him a sovereign.
Clang!
Another powerful collision.
Xiao Tianyu was sent flying by a saber slash, smashing into the palace ground and creating a huge crater.
Lying in the crater, Xiao Tianyu's face was filled with rage and shock.
He... was sent flying by a single saber slash?!
"True Intent as Saber: Purgatory Asura!!"
Chu Tianxing held the golden lion precious saber, his saber intent soaring into the sky, forming a colossal Asura in the air.
A giant saber also materialized in the Asura's hand.
The giant saber descended forcefully towards Xiao Tianyu.
Xiao Tianyu blocked with all his might, thrusting his spear. The spear radiance transformed into a bloodthirsty dragon silhouette.
Upon collision, the dragon silhouette shattered.
The saber aura landed on Xiao Tianyu's body, causing it to split open, the dragon scales on his body continuously breaking.
In an instant, he became a man drenched in blood.
"Defeated... I was actually defeated."
Xiao Tianyu knew that at this point, he was already defeated.
He was severely injured, while Chu Tianxing remained completely unscathed.
Continuing to fight would only lead to his death.
But as the Ruler of the Royal Family, who prided himself as the strongest under the sovereigns, being defeated like this filled him with immense resentment!!
Seeing this scene, the others were also astonished.
"I never imagined His Majesty would actually be defeated!"
"What's going on with this Chu Tianxing?! How could his Combat Power increase so ridiculously!"
"Incredible!"
Everyone's faces were filled with amazement.
But Chu Tianxing's eyes were brimming with killing intent. Holding the golden lion precious saber, his saber intent surged outwards, ready to strike again and eliminate Xiao Tianyu.
But at this moment.
From not far away, a violent, peerless killing intent locked onto him.
Simultaneously, a dragon's roar resounded, shaking the royal city.
Chu Tianxing immediately realized something. The saber in his hand reversed its swing, the blade transforming into incomparable saber aura!
Boom!
The saber aura collided with a bloody palm force that had struck without warning.
Chu Tianxing was forced back several steps.
In the entire royal family, there was only one person capable of forcing even his current self back!
The strongest in Blue Star...
The Dragon Emperor!!
"Tch, the Dragon Emperor is here! Time to leave!"
Chu Tianxing clicked his tongue. Although he was quite confident in his current Combat Power, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could defeat the Dragon Emperor!
One must know, the Dragon Emperor was the number one figure on Blue Star.
Just their base Combat Power alone had a gap of over a hundred thousand.
If they truly fought, even if he gave his all and used every trump card, he estimated he'd only have the power to protect himself.
He immediately took out a jade talisman.
This jade talisman was one of the treasures he found in the royal family treasury, named the Divine Wind Talisman. This talisman could grant one the blessing of divine wind power, increasing a martial artist's speed.
After crushing the jade talisman, streams of air wrapped around Chu Tianxing.
Chu Tianxing then activated 【Wind Thunder Wings】!
In an instant, wind and thunder power erupted. Chu Tianxing shot out of the palace almost in the blink of an eye.
The moment he left, a figure arrived above Xiao Tianyu. Looking at the utterly disheveled Xiao Tianyu in the crater, the Dragon Emperor's face darkened like water. "To raise his Combat Power to such a level in such a short time... If given a few more years, he would be sitting in my position as Blue Star's number one!"
"Chu Tianxing, Chu Tianxing..."
"This person must not be allowed to live!!"
Killing intent, almost solidifying into substance, appeared in his eyes.
Whoosh!
He chased after Chu Tianxing's direction of departure.
However, Chu Tianxing's 【Wind Thunder Wings】 was originally an extremely fast movement Technique. Combined with the Divine Wind Talisman's boost, even the Dragon Emperor couldn't catch up to him in a short time. One after the other, they crossed over half the royal city in mere breaths.
"This guy is actually using treasures from our royal treasury to escape?!"
"Damn it!!"
The Dragon Emperor's expression grew increasingly ugly.
Chu Tianxing, seeing the Dragon Emperor chasing him from behind, circulated his true qi to the extreme.
He soon arrived before the royal city's barrier.
Facing the barrier, he held the golden lion precious saber and swung with all his might. "Intent as Blade: Ray of Light in an Instant Dragon Slash!!"
Saber aura struck the barrier.
With a deafening roar, the barrier shook violently.
A crack appeared on the barrier.
Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor snorted coldly. "Trying to leave? No way!!"
Blood-red true qi erupted from his body. He transformed into a crimson dragon silhouette, his speed increasing once more.
He actually surpassed Chu Tianxing in an instant, arriving before him to block his path!
Seeing this, Chu Tianxing's gaze sharpened. "Oh, a short-range burst, almost teleportation-like movement Technique?!"
Knowing he was no match for the Dragon Emperor, the moment the other blocked him, Chu Tianxing didn't think about a head-on clash. Instead, he instantly unleashed dozens of saber slashes!
Saber aura mixed with streaks of lightning, weaving into a massive saber net!
"True Intent as Saber: Heaven-Spanning Thunder Net!!"
The lightning-infused saber net enveloped the Dragon Emperor.
Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor snorted lightly. "Petty tricks!"
He raised his hand and blasted out a palm strike!
The palm force almost instantly shattered the lightning saber net.
But as he prepared to continue dealing with Chu Tianxing, he found Chu Tianxing's figure had already vanished before him.
The other's earlier saber strikes were merely to delay his steps.
"Hmph, cunning brat!"
The Dragon Emperor flashed and continued the pursuit.
He refused to believe that he, the dignified number one on Blue Star, couldn't kill a mere Chu Tianxing?!
But at this moment.
The ground suddenly began to shake violently.
This tremor was extremely intense. It wasn't just the royal city shaking; it felt as if the entire Blue Star was trembling violently.
A huge fissure appeared in the royal city's ground!
From within the fissure, multicolored rays of light erupted—spiritual energy so dense it had almost solidified into light!
"This is... the Underground Secret Realm opening!!"
The Dragon Emperor's gaze sharpened.
The Underground Secret Realm was Blue Star's largest secret realm, coveted by countless people. Once opened, countless martial artists and demonic beasts would head there, searching for treasures and opportunities.
He knew the Underground Secret Realm would open soon, but he never expected it to be precisely at this moment!
"Oh, the Underground Secret Realm is opening?! A perfect opportunity!"
Chu Tianxing also knew about the Underground Secret Realm. His eyes lit up, and he immediately flashed, transforming into a streak of light charging towards the Underground Secret Realm.
Behind him, the Dragon Emperor pursued relentlessly.
"Brat, do you think the Underground Secret Realm opening can save your life?! You're too naive!!"
The Dragon Emperor roared.
Just as both entered the underground fissure—the passage to the Underground Secret Realm—violent spiritual energy turbulence surged out, engulfing them.
Within this spiritual energy turbulence, they could hardly even control their own bodies.
Both were scattered by the spiritual energy turbulence.
Watching Chu Tianxing being swept away by the turbulence, unsure where he would be carried, the Dragon Emperor roared, "Chu Tianxing!! Just you wait. Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!"
Chu Tianxing laughed loudly. "Dragon Emperor, next time we meet, who kills whom won't be certain!!"
...
The Underground Secret Realm's opening drew the attention of all factions.
Within the Li Family, the Sword Emperor looked at the fissure continuously spewing spiritual energy in the royal city, his expression somewhat grave. "I never imagined that this time the Underground Secret Realm's opening would have its passage appear in the royal city! No, perhaps not just the royal city!"
At that moment, Li Changfeng arrived before the Sword Emperor and said, "Ancestor, we've received word. Underground fissures have appeared in roughly over a hundred cities across Blue Star!"
"Over a hundred cities?!"
Hearing this, even the Sword Emperor was stunned. "I never expected this Underground Secret Realm opening to have such a massive impact?! It seems the scope of this opening is extremely vast. Who knows what kind of treasures will be born!"
"Ancestor, how many people should we organize to enter?" the Li Family Head asked.
The Sword Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Let all Li Family martial artists decide for themselves. Those who wish to enter and explore may go!"
Li Changfeng's eyes lit up. "The Underground Secret Realm holds Blue Star's greatest opportunities and treasures! How could I not go?!"
With that, he flashed and charged towards the underground fissure.
Within the royal family.
Xiao Feilong glanced at the disheveled Xiao Tianyu, then looked at the underground fissure, a gleam flashing in his eyes. "Perhaps by entering the Underground Secret Realm and searching for opportunities and treasures, I will have a chance to surpass Chu Tianxing! To wash away this shame!!"
Elsewhere.
Within White Cloud City.
In a convenience store, a tall, sophisticated-looking woman was smoking when she suddenly felt the ground shaking violently.
The next second, an underground fissure rapidly spread towards her.
It swallowed both her and her convenience store whole.
