194: Chapter 184 The Ancient Celestial Venerable's Disarrayed Escape

Back then, the first place Wang Xuan and the others arrived at was the Immortal Realm, and Gu Jixiao had learned through the resonance of the immortal emperor artifacts that the Ancient Heavenly Venerable had once made things difficult for Wang Xuan and his group.

Therefore, since he had already taken the Demon Lord under his wing and the Ancient Heavenly Venerable had also appeared here, it was time to settle both old and new scores together.

Hearing Gu Jixiao's words, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable's expression turned extremely unsightly, and he let out a cold snort.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand you at all. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable turned around, intending to depart.

But he didn't expect that in the next moment, Gu Jixiao would directly sacrifice an immortal emperor artifact without a word and blast it toward him.

That day, Gu Jixiao hadn't thought things through, but now that he had calmed down, he finally understood the true purpose of the immortal emperor artifacts.

Unlike the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he had a vast number of immortal emperor artifacts in his hands, whereas they each only possessed one.

Therefore, they didn't dare to let their immortal emperor artifacts self-detonate, but he did.

Moreover, he had as many as fifty immortal emperor artifacts. Judging from the blast that hit the Demon Lord earlier, the power of an immortal emperor artifact's self-detonation was quite substantial.

Thus, with an absolute number of immortal emperor artifacts self-detonating, even if the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors attacked together, he was absolutely certain he could kill them.

Seeing Gu Jixiao about to use an immortal emperor artifact to blast him without a second thought, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable's face changed abruptly. He immediately burned his Essence Blood and vanished from before Gu Jixiao in an instant.

Even though he fled in a pathetic state, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable still left behind some harsh words.

"Just you wait! I will surely repay today's grudge a hundredfold in the future!"

Watching the Ancient Heavenly Venerable flee so pathetically, Gu Jixiao didn't care much. In his eyes, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable was not a significant threat.

Now, bolstered by an absolute number of immortal emperor artifacts, he could openly claim to be the most powerful existence in Chaos.

Furthermore, he could naturally bring the remaining Four Realms under the banner of his Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty.

Those were four worlds even grander than the Saint Realm. If he could bring them all under the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, the prestige value they could provide would likely be enough for him to take that final step and become a supreme existence—a true Immortal Emperor!

At this thought, Gu Jixiao couldn't help but show a look of fanaticism.

Looking at the Demon Lord beside him, he saw him watching the Ancient Heavenly Venerable's retreating back and shaking his head slightly.

He had actually thought the Ancient Heavenly Venerable would fight Gu Jixiao fair and square, but it turned out he was just a coward.

However, at this moment, the Lord of the Demon Realm seemed to have forgotten the scene where he himself had been blasted by Gu Jixiao's immortal emperor artifact and forced to surrender and beg for mercy.

After watching the Ancient Heavenly Venerable flee, Gu Jixiao didn't bother spending more effort on him. He still had no way to detain a Quasi-Immortal Emperor whose raw strength surpassed his own if they were determined to leave.

So, pulling back his thoughts, Gu Jixiao looked at the Lord of the Demon Realm and asked in a calm but slightly solemn tone.

"So, do you know the background of that Lord of the Abyss Cave?"

As Gu Jixiao finished speaking, the Lord of the Demon Realm was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized what Gu Jixiao was referring to. However, he knew nothing about the Lord of the Abyss Cave either, so he shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I truly know nothing about the Lord of the Abyss Cave. In fact, we had never even heard of his existence before."

"It was only recently, when Your Majesty took away the immortal emperor artifact that suppressed the Abyss Cave and we attempted to re-suppress it, that we learned of the Lord of the Abyss Cave's existence."
