199: Chapter 189 Killing Qiongqi, the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Demons Makes His Move

"Stop! The Monster Realm lies ahead. I am the guardian beast of the Monster Realm; entry is forbidden!"

The two Late Stage Immortal Venerables heading to the Monster Realm were named Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian.

The Vicious Beast blocking them was the famous Vicious Beast Qiongqi. Qiongqi had been sent by the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable specifically to obstruct Yang Gufeng and his companion.

The Vicious Beast Qiongqi was a top-tier existence even among Yao Beasts, with terrifying strength; at the same level, it was no problem for it to fight two against one.

The Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable sent Qiongqi to make things difficult for the people of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. Of course, if it could force them to retreat, that would be even better.

In the shadows, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable was secretly observing everything. If things went wrong, he would step in to save Qiongqi.

After all, Qiongqi was a general under his command and could not be allowed to fall here easily.

To be honest, he didn't really think much of Yang Gufeng and his companion, since they were only Late Stage Immortal Venerables.

Since Qiongqi could display remarkable strength even against opponents of the same rank, let alone against these two who were only at the Late Stage Immortal Venerable level.

Thus, in the eyes of the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, the fate of these two was already sealed.

Looking back at Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian, they were indeed momentarily startled upon seeing the Vicious Beast Qiongqi, but they quickly regained their composure.

What did they have to fear?

Standing behind them was Your Majesty, and they even carried immortal emperor artifacts bestowed by Your Majesty. Dealing with a mere Vicious Beast Qiongqi—wouldn't that be a simple task?

"How insolent! We are from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. Step aside immediately, or you shall be an enemy of our Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty!"

"Furthermore, Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, I know you are watching from the shadows. Do you intend to start a war with my Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty? If you wish for war, I will inform Your Majesty right now and have Your Majesty come here personally!"

Yang Gufeng was a shrewd man who had already seen through everything, and he shouted in anger.

Hiding in the shadows, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable's expression was extremely ugly, but he did not act rashly.

After all, if he went out now, it would be impossible to explain things away.

If he waited until they were on the verge of death before stepping out to save them, he could still claim he was unaware of the situation.

So he couldn't go out; he absolutely could not go out.

Looking back at the Vicious Beast Qiongqi, it flew into a rage upon hearing Yang Gufeng's words.

"What audacity! To insult the Realm Lord—you're looking for death!"

Qiongqi had been able to Cultivate to such a powerful Realm by relying on its terrifying talent, but as for intelligence, it had none at all.

Otherwise, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable wouldn't have sent it out.

The purpose was simply that Qiongqi was easier to use.

The Vicious Beast Qiongqi was extremely protective of its master. Hearing someone insult the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, it could no longer restrain itself and charged at Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian in a fit of rage.

Watching Qiongqi charge at them, there was no fear on their faces. Yang Gufeng even looked at Xu Huanian and asked calmly.

"You or me?"

"I'll do it. It's been a long time since I've seen any action."

Seeing Xu Huanian agree, Yang Gufeng proactively stepped back.

Their calm behavior immediately gave the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, hiding in the shadows, a sudden bad feeling.

Then, in the next moment, he saw Xu Huanian directly summon an immortal emperor artifact.

"What! That is... an immortal emperor artifact!"

The Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable was instantly rattled!

One must know that it was an immortal emperor artifact; even he only possessed one. Why did the Xu Huanian before him also hold one?

Moreover, judging from Yang Gufeng's behavior, it seemed he also possessed an immortal emperor artifact.

Suddenly, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable understood where their confidence came from.

That was an immortal emperor artifact. Holding one would bring a terrifying boost to one's strength. For a Late Stage Immortal Venerable, with the boost of an immortal emperor artifact, their strength would infinitely approach that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, upon seeing Xu Huanian summon the immortal emperor artifact, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable acted without a second thought, wanting to stop Xu Huanian directly.

After all, Qiongqi was a general under his command and could not be allowed to fall here easily.

With the boost of an immortal emperor artifact, Qiongqi would definitely be no match for Xu Huanian.

However, a clash between experts happens in an instant; everything occurred too suddenly.

Before the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable could stop him, Xu Huanian swung his sword decisively, killing Qiongqi on the spot.

Witnessing the fall of his general, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, who had intended to stay hidden, instantly flew into a rage.

"You lot... are looking for death!"

Regarding the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable who had been hiding in the shadows, the two showed no surprise and snorted coldly.

"Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, are you finally willing to show yourself?"

Looking at Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian again, the two were now standing together.

After all, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable was a genuine Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even though they held immortal emperor artifacts, even combined, they were definitely no match for him.

Now they could only hope that Your Majesty already knew what was happening here and was on his way.

The terrifying pressure of the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was constantly descending. When it pressed down on Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian, their faces couldn't help but show signs of struggle.

Of course, they hadn't used their immortal emperor artifacts; otherwise, the pressure of a mere Quasi-Immortal Emperor wouldn't have made them struggle.

"Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, you sent a Qiongqi to deliberately make things difficult for us. Don't you think you're looking down on my Majesty a bit too much?"

"Do you intend to start a war with my Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty?"

Yang Gufeng snorted coldly and spoke first, confronting the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable.

Hearing this, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable's expression was extremely ugly as he roared, "Qiongqi was the guardian beast of my Monster Realm. I did not order it to deliberately obstruct you. On the contrary, you deliberately killed my Monster Realm's guardian beast. You're looking for death!"

After saying that, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable charged towards Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian.

After all, Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian were the ones who killed his Monster Realm's guardian beast first. Even if he killed them, he doubted Gu Jixiao would say much.

And most importantly, there were the immortal emperor artifacts in their hands.

If he could obtain the immortal emperor artifacts in their hands, he could surpass the Ancient Heavenly Venerable in one fell swoop and become the most powerful Quasi-Immortal Emperor in Chaos!

Of course, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable did not underestimate Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian; he also summoned his own immortal emperor artifact.

After all, they also held immortal emperor artifacts. If he were careless, he might even end up suffering an unexpected defeat.

In the face of the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable actually attacking them, Yang Gufeng and Xu Huanian were both shocked and furious, but they did not retreat at all and directly summoned their immortal emperor artifacts.

"Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, how dare you!"

Yang Gufeng roared, and together with Xu Huanian, they summoned their immortal emperor artifacts and engaged in a fierce battle with the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable.

Unfortunately, the gap in their Realms was right there. Combined with the fact that the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable also held an immortal emperor artifact, their defeat was only a matter of time.
