Chapter 1559

This kunpeng blotted out the sky and covered the sun, standing between heaven and earth, letting out a long cry to the heavens.

Immediately, a bolt of heavenly thunder slammed down from the sky; seeing this, it showed no trace of fear, but instead actively rushed forward to meet it.

After holding back for thousands of years, it finally succeeded in breaking through to the demon emperor realm, and now it used this heavenly tribulation to stretch its muscles and bones.

Moreover, this place lies deep in the Endless Sea, with hardly anyone around; otherwise, seeing a demon emperor here would surely drop one's jaw in shock.

It's not that the demon emperor is frightening in itself, but nowadays in the Haotu World, where could one still find a wild demon emperor?

Haven't they all been raised in captivity by the Dao Yi Shengdi?

The sudden appearance of a wild demon emperor is practically like a supreme treasure being born into the world.

In fact, this demon emperor has been in secluded cultivation at the bottom of this sea for over a thousand years.

Its purpose was to assault the demon emperor realm, to break through to the demon emperor realm, and this kunpeng had indeed made a ruthless resolve.

If it didn't succeed in a day, it wouldn't leave seclusion for a day, directly sealing itself off.

But precisely because of that, it knows nothing of the changes in the Haotu World today, and is even unaware of the current state of the demon race in the Haotu World.

Anyway, in its era, a demon emperor was absolutely a top-tier powerhouse, capable of roaming the entire Haotu World at will.

Therefore, after successfully breaking through to the demon emperor realm, this kunpeng became so full of vigor and high spirits.

In its view, from now on it truly is "the sky is high for birds to fly, the sea is wide for fish to leap."

The heavenly thunder struck the kunpeng's body one bolt after another, yet it appeared to grow braver with each strike.

After spending thousands of years and enduring countless loneliness and hardships, it finally broke through to the demon emperor realm; how could such a mere heavenly tribulation now stop it?

Filled with a mysterious confidence, relying on that confidence, it actually managed to successfully pass the heavenly tribulation in the end.

Its demon emperor cultivation was completely solidified at this moment, and after the baptism of the heavenly thunder, it became even more substantial.

"Haha, I have become an emperor; from now on, our demon race will gain another emperor, haha."

Having successfully passed the heavenly tribulation and advanced to the demon emperor realm, this kunpeng was thrilled beyond measure.

But just as its words fell, it seemed to sense something, and the kunpeng's gaze suddenly turned toward the distant sea surface.

Only to see a spatial spirit vessel speeding rapidly toward this side.

And this spatial spirit vessel was none other than the one carrying Ye Zhangqing's parents and the rest of the Ye family.

Under the cover of divine sense, the kunpeng quickly sensed the auras of the Ye family members.

"Human race? Haha, perfect timing; I haven't eaten meat for thousands of years—just right to use you as a whetstone for my fangs."

Unexpectedly, right after passing the heavenly tribulation, someone came knocking on its door; the kunpeng didn't think much and immediately prepared to strike.

At the same time, the Ye family members inside the spatial spirit vessel also discovered the kunpeng.

A Ye family clansman looked toward Ye Zhangqing's father and said.

"Patriarch, there is a demon emperor ahead."

"A demon emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's father was initially puzzled—where would a demon emperor come from in the Endless Sea?

Aren't all demon emperors kept in Zhongzhou?

He spread his divine sense and indeed sensed that demon emperor's aura—truly a demon emperor? Are there any demon emperors left uncaught in the Haotu World?

But if it has fled, why would it dare to show itself openly now? Shouldn't it be thinking of ways to leave the Haotu World directly?

Why is it just standing here foolishly?

"Something's not right, Patriarch; this demon emperor is coming straight for us."

While Ye Zhangqing's father was still puzzled, a Ye family member beside him cried out with a strange expression.

"This demon monster fortunately survived a calamity, yet instead of fleeing, it actively came toward us."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's father naturally also saw it, and he frowned slightly as he spoke.

"Could it have gone insane?"

"What should we do now, Patriarch?"

Although the Ye family currently lacks no cultivation resources, the cultivation resources given by Ye Zhangqing are sufficient for their cultivation.

Moreover, with Ye Zhangqing's help, the Ye family members' cultivation has increased greatly.

However, given their limited talent, even with Ye Zhangqing's assistance, the Ye family still has no Great Emperor powerhouse to this day.

Faced with a demon emperor, the crowd is obviously no match.

However, Ye Zhangqing's father is not panicked; looking at the demon emperor charging straight at him, he only feels strange.

Is this demon emperor crazy?

But as the distance drew nearer, Ye Zhangqing's father turned to the Ye family member beside him and said.

"Don't bother with him; charge past—it can't catch up."

The Ye family's spirit vessel was a gift from Ye Zhangqing, and recently Ye Zhangqing asked the Artifact Master Alliance's elder ancestor to upgrade it a bit.

Both its defensive power and speed have risen another notch.

After all, it's for his own parents to use, so Ye Zhangqing naturally wants to give them the best.

And the Artifact Master Alliance's elder ancestor naturally spared no effort—after all, it's just a meal, or rather a special dish; who could refuse?

Therefore, the current speed of this spirit vessel far exceeds that of Great Emperor realm cultivators, and only an Emperor Sovereign powerhouse could catch up to it.

Moreover, this kunpeng has just barely passed the Great Emperor heavenly tribulation; among Great Emperor realm beings, it can only be considered at the very bottom.

The spirit vessel suddenly surged in speed; seeing this, the kunpeng let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, a joke—before this emperor, a tiny spirit vessel, you still think you can escape?"

In its era, even the finest spirit vessel would have no chance to flee before a Great Emperor, for a Great Emperor's speed vastly surpasses that of a spirit vessel.

But that was thousands of years ago, and back then the Haotu World had no Emperor-level Weapon Refiner.

And it was even less likely to have an Emperor-level spirit vessel.

The giant fish-bird brimmed with confidence, about to strike, and with one blow it would destroy the Star Battleship bearing the Ye family.

But before its attack could land, the space spirit vessel that had only just sped up suddenly turned into a streak of light, whooshing past it in a flash.

Huh???

They were already ready to attack, but it hadn't reacted at all just now, and the space spirit vessel had vanished?

"What the hell just passed by?"

He looked ahead—nothing but empty space—then turned his head and saw the space spirit vessel about to disappear into the horizon.

Had he seen a ghost? He felt doubtful, yet he was certain his divine sense hadn't been mistaken just now.

The giant fish-bird froze for a moment, then came to its senses and exploded in rage with a furious roar.

"Where are you fleeing?"

It immediately gave chase to the Ye family's space spirit vessel.

It had just broken through to the Demon Emperor Realm, full of vigor, making its first move—how could it let these people escape so easily?

This space spirit vessel is strange, but so what? Once I catch up to you, it will be your doom.

It absolutely would not allow its first strike after breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm to end in failure.

These people must die.

The giant fish-bird pursued relentlessly, but at its speed it couldn't catch the Ye family's space spirit vessel—in fact, the distance between them kept growing.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor fish-bird gritted its teeth and chased madly, feeling frustrated and doubtful, it muttered.

"What kind of space spirit vessel is this, moving so fast? I, the Emperor, can't even catch up to it—this shouldn't be!"
