Chapter 218

"Who am I?" Luo Fu smiled faintly. "You wouldn't know even if I told you. Too bad you've become an obstacle to my mission."

"Mission?" The Emperor frowned.

He still could not fully understand what Luo Fu had said.

"Then, fellow cultivator, what do you intend to do?" The Emperor said grimly.

Since the other had exposed his identity, the Emperor no longer needed to hide.

But as a Red Dust Immortal, he had no need to show weakness—after all, to him, Luo Fu was merely another Red Dust Immortal.

"Kill you," Luo Fu said.

"Hm…" The Emperor froze, then his expression darkened.

He had thought Luo Fu had some motive—but now he heard what? The other wanted to kill him.

"What kind of ridiculous joke is this?"

This Red Dust Immortal before him was far too arrogant.

"Fellow cultivator, do you know what you're saying?" The Emperor said coldly. "These Supreme Ancient Emperors? To me, they're nothing but failures, nothing but ants."

"Emperor," Luo Fu stepped forward. "Perhaps, in my eyes, you're merely an ant too."

Yes.

Red Dust Immortals are indeed stronger than Supreme Ancient Emperors.

But to Luo Fu, that was all it was.

"Very well. No one has spoken to me like this in a long time," the Emperor roared in fury. "Boy, let me see what gives you the arrogance to speak so."

Waves of Immortal Qi erupted violently from the Emperor's body.

Red Dust Immortals have, to a degree, broken free from the limitations of mortal life, possessing extraordinarily long lifespans.

So it was natural for the Emperor to radiate Immortal Qi.

And as the Emperor unleashed his power—

In the Beidou Star Region, the Divine Ruins—

"This is…" Spirit Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief. "Another Immortal has appeared."

As the Emperor released his Red Dust Immortal power, Spirit Emperor immediately confirmed: the other's strength was also that of an Immortal.

After all, the Immortal Qi radiating from him was unmistakable.

For these Supreme Ancient Emperors, Immortal Qi was something unattainable.

If Immortal Qi ever appeared anywhere, these Supreme Ancient Emperors would risk their lives to seize it.

But facing an Immortal who wielded Immortal Qi, they dared not, and could not muster such resolve.

The other Immortal's effortless annihilation of them was still fresh in their minds.

The gap between them and Immortals was far too vast.

To confront an Immortal directly was pure suicide.

"That's Immortal Qi," another Beast God in the Divine Ruins said in shock. "This world hides so many powerful beings."

The Supreme Ancient Emperors in the forbidden zones had once believed their strength stood at the absolute peak.

They were invincible in this world.

After all, they had launched multiple Dark Calamities in the past, and no stronger enemies had ever appeared.

Now they realized their previous understanding was utterly wrong.

This world harbored Immortals—and not just one, but at least two or more.

Two were now plainly visible.

In the Sea of Reincarnation, the Xuanyao Tianzun's eyes gleamed—he was stunned not only by the appearance of another Immortal, but also by a sense of familiarity toward this one.

"That's the Emperor," Xuanyao Tianzun said in disbelief.

In his prime, the Emperor had been one of the Supreme Beings of the Mythic Era, and Xuanyao Tianzun had known him well.

Later, the Emperor lived a second life, rebuilt the Heavenly Court, and became its Lord.

But when he was about to lead the Heavenly Court to ascend, he was betrayed and slain by the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Yet now it seemed he had never died—he had instead become a true Immortal.

"The Emperor is still alive… and he's become an Immortal," Xuanyao Tianzun breathed deeply.

A Tianzun who had once been his equal had become an Immortal—it was hard for Xuanyao Tianzun to accept.

His self-severance to survive until now seemed like a joke.

Compared to the Emperor, he, a Supreme Being of the Mythic Era, was vastly inferior.

"That's the Emperor… he's become an Immortal…"

Among the forbidden zones, several Supreme Ancient Emperors who had once been connected to the Emperor recognized him and gasped in disbelief.

The legendary Emperor, said to have perished, now stood before them, undeniably real.

Had the Emperor entered the Immortal Realm, then, to become an Immortal?

"Now, I shall show you what true power is," the Emperor roared, clenching his fist and unleashing a punch that shattered countless divine laws into radiant beams, surging toward Luo Fu.

At this moment, the full might of the Red Dust Immortal was laid bare—Luo Fu could only meet it head-on.

If compared, the entire Beidou Star Region might be shattered by this single punch.

Facing this situation—

The Ancient Emperors in the forbidden zones grew tense—if this Immortal failed to block the Emperor's attack, they must flee immediately.

They did not wish to die pitifully in the clash between two Immortals.

"It's over," Luo Fu said, his gaze cold as he faced an attack capable of destroying half a universe. Above his head, the Twenty-Four Divine Pearl of the Sea Calmers suddenly emitted a hazy glow.

This hazy light fell upon that terrifying force.

The Emperor Lord's power was instantly erased and vanished.
