Chapter 170: Unsurpassable

"This is impossible!"

The Great Emperor exclaimed, his cultivation—he had never seen such a bizarre method.

He is a Quasi-Emperor; in this world where no Great Emperor appears, he is an existence unmatched—yet even his cultivation was unknowingly reduced, which to him is almost impossible.

"Who exactly are you? I have no grudge with you, why are you targeting me like this!"

"In your words, it's survival of the fittest."

Ye Chen's calm voice sounded in the Quasi-Emperor's ear; after Ye Chen finished speaking, the Quasi-Emperor's face turned extremely grim.

"I've already withdrawn from the contest for the Immortality Pill; what more do you want from me!"

After hearing the Quasi-Emperor's words, Ye Chen slightly shook his head: "No, no, no, I think you've mistaken something—we're not here to kill you for the Immortality Pill; we… we came just for you."

"What!?"

The Quasi-Emperor's expression instantly turned to panic; his mind raced, thinking of past grudges, but after running through all his memories, he couldn't recall anything.

Thus, at this moment, he was certain that this person and donkey had come to kill him, with no reason.

"Let me die with understanding."

The Quasi-Emperor roared, unwilling—he had already become a Quasi-Emperor, yet to end up as fish on another's chopping block.

But Ye Chen no longer wanted to explain; he directly let Donkey Chunhua act, while he unleashed his killing move.

With Donkey Chunhua's delay, Ye Chen could safely gather his killing move, pushing the power of the Taiji Creation Diagram and the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder to the extreme.

That Quasi-Emperor obviously still wanted to struggle, turning his head to run, but how could his speed compare to Donkey Chunhua's?

The instant he turned, Donkey Chunhua caught up and struck his head solidly with a hoof.

The injury was minor, but the humiliation was extreme.

That Quasi-Emperor proved the saying: his head was kicked by a donkey.

Boom—

The Quasi-Emperor's anger surged into his heart, his aura reversed, erupting with an unparalleled powerful aura.

"This is you forcing me!"

The Quasi-Emperor roared; as one of the few strong ones under this starry sky, his anger shattered surrounding stars and ripped the void.

However, just as he prepared to release his full aura for a death-defying battle, Ye Chen's Taiji Creation Diagram and Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder struck first.

Boom—

The starry sky trembled!

Even in this universe, a splendid fireworks burst erupted.

Ye Chen knew the Quasi-Emperor wouldn't die so easily, so his attack didn't stop.

The Taiji Creation Diagram and Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder rained down on that Quasi-Emperor as if they were free.

Seeing this, Donkey Chunhua's eyes filled with shock; its whole body froze in place, never expecting Ye Chen to strike so fiercely.

"Good thing my hide is thick enough; otherwise, who could withstand his blows?"

Donkey Chunhua thought to itself, gradually it could no longer sense the Quasi-Emperor's aura.

Its sensitivity to aura is especially keen; even it cannot sense the Quasi-Emperor's aura, indicating he has completely died.

"Enough, enough, stop blasting—he's already dead, why keep blasting him? Whipping a corpse?"

Donkey Chunhua's voice made Ye Chen stop his action.

"You're sure he's dead, but I don't feel safe about it."

"Dead, utterly dead."

Donkey Chunhua said irritably.

But the next moment, the whole donkey went dumb.

Ye Chen then threw the Taiji Creation Diagram and Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder again at the spot where the Quasi-Emperor had been.

"Just to be safe, let's blast once more."

After doing all that, Ye Chen walked toward the Fallen Great Emperor, and his Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art automatically absorbed the entire emperor's cultivation, converting it into his own power.

"Time to go find Hunyan."

As Ye Chen spoke, about to step away from this starry sky, he noticed Donkey Chunhua still standing foolishly in place, unmoving.

"Stupid donkey, why are you still standing? Hurry over, we're going to aid Hunyan."

After hearing Ye Chen's voice, Donkey Chunhua took a moment to react: "Ah? Oh oh, coming."

"Wait, wrong—you just called me a stupid donkey; I'll kill you!"

Ye Chen: "..."

……

At this moment, on the other side of the starry sky, a man in black robes was beating another Quasi-Emperor, who had no power to fight back.

Even now he somewhat doubted his life—clearly both are Quasi-Emperors, yet the strength gap is so huge.

And this black-clothed man is Hunyan.

"I have no grudge with you, sir; why are you targeting me like this?"

The Quasi-Emperor asked, bewildered; at this moment his aura was feeble, his state extremely poor.

The Quasi-Emperor before him neither kills him nor lets him off; he simply beats him one-sidedly, which he finds utterly incomprehensible.

Moreover, in his memory he recalls never having met this person, let alone formed a grudge; thus he is utterly confused, to the point of doubting his life.

"Just stay here."

Hunyan's voice sounded indifferently; after he finished speaking, the Quasi-Emperor's eyes were full of disbelief.

Hunyan's tone was like a notification, not at all like negotiation; of course, even if negotiating, the Quasi-Emperor wouldn't say much to Hunyan, because Hunyan is clearly here to claim his life—just hasn't acted yet.

He doesn't understand—clearly Hunyan could just kill him directly.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed two other terrifying auras.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: "It's over, completely over."

He prayed in his heart, hoping that these two auras were not allied with the person before him, but often the more one fears something, the more it comes.

"Hunyan, you've already beaten him half to death."

As Ye Chen's voice rang out, the Quasi-Emperor lost all hope.

"This guy can't be beaten."

Hunyan replied calmly, his tone flat, as if he hadn't expended much effort in striking the Quasi-Emperor, and in fact he really hadn't.

"I'll fight you all..."

He hadn't finished speaking when Hunyan froze him in place.

"You want to self-destruct?"

Hunyan's tone turned icy cold. To self-destruct in front of him? That's nearly impossible; if he really let him succeed in self-destructing, what face would this former Immortal King have left?

Moreover, Lu Chunhua came together with Ye Chen, which shows that nothing unexpected happened to Lu Chunhua; if something unexpected occurred here, it would be a disgrace to the name of that former Immortal King.

Therefore, upon sensing the Quasi-Emperor's movement, he instantly struck out and locked onto the Quasi-Emperor.

And at that moment, the Quasi-Emperor fully understood the gap between himself and Hunyan.

Although both were Quasi-Emperors, their strength was like a vast chasm; no matter how hard he tried, he could not cross it.

Now, even his last resort is merely a laughable struggle.
