The giant bamboo tree trembled, patterns of texture flashing, stirring the primal energy of heaven and earth, shaking the region, overwhelmingly powerful. Ye Chu saw this force, his body tensing, the power within him vibrating, surging strength erupting from his body.
When Bamboo Emperor saw this scene, the coldness in his eyes grew thicker. Bamboo trees continuously surged forth from the lake water, trembling densely, textures interweaving, erupting with terrifying might.
“Die!”
With Bamboo Emperor’s roar, bamboo trees uprooted themselves, bamboo leaves transforming into fierce attacks shooting straight at Ye Chu. Bamboo trees whipped and rolled, striking repeatedly. Each strike could shatter the void, the power terrifying and shocking.
“You think this can do anything to me?”
Ye Chu roared, a green lotus bursting forth from his body. The green lotus trembled, lotus flowers blooming, starlight brilliant, nine stars linked as one, artistic conception fully saturated.
Brilliant starlight eclipsed the sun’s radiance, erupting with unparalleled artistic conception. Terrifying power continuously rolled out from it, its momentum contending with Bamboo Emperor.
Ye Tian watched this scene, his whole person frozen in place. He could not believe it. Ye Chu actually possessed such a will pattern. This was a heaven and earth phenomenon. Ye Chu was actually a prodigy? This was too difficult to accept. The scourge of Yao City was actually a prodigy. This…
Bamboo Emperor’s expression also changed watching this scene, surprise rising in his heart. He finally understood why the other party could exchange blows with him. For a prodigy to accomplish this was not impossible. However, even if he were a prodigy, he could not challenge an Emperor’s dignity while still at the King level. An Emperor far surpassed a King. This was not something a prodigy could easily make up for.
Ten thousand flowers bloomed, terrifying sword intent continuously erupting forth. Textures flashed unceasingly. Each time the textures flashed, they surged with power that made people’s hearts tremble. Sword intent transformed into sword light, opposing the other’s bamboo leaves, resisting the bamboo trees’ whipping.
However, an Emperor’s power was too strong. Ye Chu could hardly resist. Even erupting with his will pattern, vibrating out terrifying power, he still retreated step by step. Bamboo trees continuously flew toward Ye Chu, carrying terrifying artistic conception, intending to tear Ye Chu apart.
“It’s useless. An Emperor is ultimately not something you can resist. This Emperor admits you are strong enough. Perhaps below the Emperor level, it would be hard to find your match. But in an Emperor’s eyes, you still amount to nothing.” As Bamboo Emperor spoke, bamboo trees transformed into sharp bamboo spikes, continuously shooting toward Ye Chu.
Ye Chu dodged using the Instant Wind Technique. The Profound Truth of Seizing erupted from his body, the primal energy of heaven and earth in the surroundings being devoured into his body. After Ye Chu’s last loss of control, the Profound Truth of Seizing had become even more refined. This time it erupted forth, emotions flashing, and Ye Chu’s aura abruptly rose several degrees.
Ye Chu, who had originally been retreating step by step, with the aid of the Profound Truth of Seizing, his attacks suddenly skyrocketed, blocking this wave of Bamboo Emperor’s attacks.
“Burial Void Sword Technique!”
Ye Chu roared. Sword shadows filled the sky, erupting forth. Primordial spirit power surged out, rolling toward the surroundings. Sword intent coordinated with the Killing Spirit Art, rolling toward Bamboo Emperor.
Ye Chu used the Profound Truth of Seizing and the Killing Spirit Art together to oppose Bamboo Emperor. Each time the starry sky trembled and nine stars merged into one, they erupted with terrifying sword slaughter, shooting toward Bamboo Emperor as if piercing through sun and moon.
Bamboo Emperor’s heart was shocked. He seriously defended against Ye Chu’s attacks again and again. He had originally thought finishing off Ye Chu would not take long, but he had not expected Ye Chu to be able to erupt with such attacks.
Facing such attacks, he could not take them lightly. He defended with various powers. His expression grave, the power he drove became increasingly terrifying.
Facing such ferocious attacks, he was not at all relaxed. With one bit of carelessness, his body was actually pierced by sword intent, leaving a bloodstain.
This was inconceivable. A King had actually inflicted wounds upon an Emperor. Who would believe this if spoken of? But now it truly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Although Ye Chu had also been pierced by the other’s bamboo spikes, bloodstains evident on his body, this point was within expectations…
Ye Tian watched Ye Chu exchanging blows with an Emperor in the void, frozen in shock. The two fought with extreme intensity. Each eruption could stir up countless lake waters. The lake water falling like torrential rain continuously landed with splashing sounds that fell into every person’s ears.
No one could believe that Ye Chu could actually exchange blows with an Emperor to such a degree. At this moment, although Ye Chu was still at a disadvantage, it was extremely difficult for the Emperor to finish him off. Each burst of power from Ye Chu made the Emperor raise his guard to the highest level to oppose.
This was an inconceivable confrontation. Such an intense battle was something the people present had never witnessed before. Watching the cold lake being continuously bombarded, their blood boiled with excitement, wishing they possessed such power.
“You cannot defeat me, and I cannot overcome you. How about it? Still want to keep fighting?” Ye Chu exchanged another blow with Bamboo Emperor. Ye Chu was pierced in the arm by a bamboo spike, while Bamboo Emperor was also wounded in the thigh by Ye Chu’s sword intent.
Blood surged forth from both their bodies, dripping into the lake water, the scarlet colour spreading out.
“I must have that thing!” Bamboo Emperor stared at Ye Chu and said, “This Emperor does not believe that a King can fight an Emperor!”
As Bamboo Emperor spoke, his power surged even higher. The youth before him was too bizarre. His secret technique could actually seize his power for his own use. With the opponent growing stronger as he grew weaker, it allowed him to exchange so many moves with himself.
Although Bamboo Emperor was shocked by Ye Chu, he could not abandon the item of Yao Kingdom. That item was too important to him. Because it was related to a Supreme Being, and possibly even related to a deity.
Blood Butcher Supreme was the last Supreme Being. If he could obtain his secret, perhaps there was hope of finding a way to step into the Supreme realm. Most importantly, finding a means to oppose the passage of years was what drove people mad.
And all of this was only possible by obtaining that thing.
Seeing Bamboo Emperor growing increasingly ferocious, Ye Chu could not help but curse. Another bloodstain appeared on his body. He stared fixedly at Bamboo Emperor, his figure flashing. Sword slaughter erupted forth, but was directly shattered by Bamboo Emperor’s fist.
“Die!”
Bamboo Emperor roared. The power coiling around his arm transformed into bamboo segments rising higher and higher, fiercely whipping toward Ye Chu. Ye Chu had no choice but to dodge and resist. The lotus flowers blooming on his body defended himself.
But under this bamboo strip’s whip, the lotus flowers defending Ye Chu directly shattered. One could imagine its power. This bamboo strip directly struck Ye Chu’s body. A burning pain spread throughout his body. Ye Chu looked down. On his body appeared a bloodstain one centimetre deep, with rolling blood flowing out from within.
Ye Chu sucked in a cold breath of air, thinking fortunately that his fleshly body’s strength had been tempered by Supreme Blood, incomparably powerful. If it were an ordinary King, this bamboo strip would likely have directly split him in two.
Ye Chu’s figure explosively retreated, landing opposite Bamboo Emperor, staring fixedly at this person before him. He was now staring at Ye Chu with a sinister look, looking at the bloodstain on Ye Chu’s body, the corner of his mouth carrying a contemptuous expression.
