Chapter 997: Red Rock Immortal Emperor
Xu Nian looked at the eight powerhouses around him.
Among these powerhouses, there were males and females, some appeared youthful, others were elderly.
But without exception, they all were in a state of living dead, their eyes hollow, and their bodies devoid of any vitality.
"Puppets? You turned them into puppets?" Xu Nian stared at these powerhouses surrounding him, especially when he saw Elder Wang's familiar face, a strong anger surged within him.
Elder Wang had been a benefactor to him; if he had died in this forbidden area, it would have been acceptable.
But now, even his corpse wasn't allowed rest, being forged into a puppet.
It's known that the fate of a puppet is exceedingly tragic; at the very least, their soul cannot enter hell or reincarnate.
Even if their soul dies, it will forever be trapped within this body.
"What's wrong, do you recognize any of them?" The shadow of the Immortal Emperor saw Xu Nian's furious face and sneered disdainfully.
Xu Nian did not speak, but his fist clenched tightly.
He had already decided to kill.
Previously, he only thought of survival, but now he wanted to personally kill this so-called Immortal Emperor.
"Kid, looks like I was right; what a pity they're all dead. If you could tell me who they are, I might spare them—they mean nothing to me, just ants. Once I obtain the Undying Devouring Sky Beast's body, refine it anew, shatter the void, everything in this world will bow before me, the Red Rock Immortal Emperor," the shadow scoffed.
"You will never get that body," Xu Nian said with determined eyes.
Red Rock's gaze instantly turned cold, murderous intent surging.
"Whether you hand it over is not up to you. Once I entirely capture you, I have ways to force you to hand over the Original Core," Red Rock Emperor taunted.
Like looking at a struggling ant.
Then with a thought, the eight Immortal Slaves surrounding launched towards Xu Nian.
These eight were once Earth Immortal Peak Level powerhouses, even though right now they had no True Essence within them.
Yet their bodies had transformed into true Immortal Bodies.
In terms of combat power, they're definitely not below the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.
And not just one Immortal Slave, but eight, probably even a Middle Stage Earth Immortal powerhouse might not withstand them.
As for Red Rock Immortal Emperor, his body now merely had a heart, naturally devoid of combat power.
Soul attacks were ineffective against Xu Nian.
Thus, Xu Nian's true foes right now were these eight Immortal Slaves.
"Gravity Space Domain, rise!" Xu Nian didn't hesitate at all, directly deploying the Gravity Space Domain.
At this moment, the gravitational direction within the Gravity Space Domain altered. Love this story? Show your support on MVLEMPYR.
The eight Immortal Slaves charging forward were immediately affected by the gravity, their bodies losing balance.
"One Breath to Ten Thousand Swords!"
Xu Nian seized this opportunity and instantly invoked Black Slaughter.
The Dimension Cutting Domain activated instantly.
His figure turned into a shadow.
With Black Slaughter in hand, he swiped out a blade, and instantly, in the void, it seemed as if ten thousand sword lights emerged.
"Buzz!"
One of the middle-aged Immortal Slaves was directly sliced into pieces by this single blade from Xu Nian.
This process was executed by Xu Nian fluidly.
Without a moment's pause.
At the side, Red Rock Immortal Emperor's face showed surprise: "Two attribute domains, and still the gravitational direction reversal of the Gravity Space, and reached the level of Second Level Domain; Dimension Cutting also has considerable achievements, this kid has strong comprehension abilities?"
He had lived for a million years, seen countless talents.
He had even seen children born with accompanying rules, their cries triggering celestial thunder.
But in the Mortal World, such an impoverished place, this is the first time seeing someone at this age comprehend two major Profound Argumentations.
"This boy is extraordinary; if he reaches the Immortal Realm someday, he might soar into the sky," Red Rock Immortal Emperor thought to himself.
Then he looked at Xu Nian and said, "Kid, I see you have remarkable talent. How about this, if you hand over the Undying Devouring Sky Beast's body, I will take you as my disciple. You must realize, I was once an Immortal Emperor. With my guidance, your achievements will definitely surpass Immortal Emperorship."
Red Rock spoke extremely arrogantly; in his view, the youth before him would definitely be tempted.
After all, even the Peak of Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses couldn't resist the allure of an Immortal Emperor.
"Take me as a disciple, help me become an Immortal Emperor?" Xu Nian chuckled, looking at Red Rock.
"Exactly, I have many secret techniques created by past Immortal Emperor powerhouses, and I have insights into rules. A casual guidance from me might just propel your Profound Argumentation tremendously," Red Rock Immortal Emperor said arrogantly.
Meanwhile, a sense of pride filled him.
He knew the young man before him would be tempted.
Yet, the next moment, his eyes twitched.
"Sorry, you're not qualified to take me as a disciple. Didn't you feel the powerful Divine Soul within me before? Truth is, that's a Divine Emperor; I've already pledged my allegiance as her disciple. Immortal Emperor? I'm really not impressed," Xu Nian said with a faint smile.
Yet his smile was naked mockery in Red Rock Immortal Emperor's eyes.
He knew Xu Nian wasn't wrong.
Earlier, the Divine Soul Origin he felt was faint but of an extremely high level, undoubtedly at a Divine Emperor's basic tier.
He had no doubts that if that Divine Soul were conscious now, it could instantly devour him.
Thinking of this, Red Rock couldn't remain calm.
This guy can make a Divine Emperor take him as a disciple?
Becoming a follower of a Divine is what Immortal Emperors dream of!
This youth indeed has an incredible stroke of luck, not only seizing the Undying Devouring Sky Beast but also becoming a disciple of a Divine Emperor?
"No, he must die, all this belongs to me," Red Rock thought jealously with incomparable intensity.
He'd never imagined he'd be envious of someone he viewed as mere ant-like.
"Kill him, kill him until he can't move," Red Rock directly ordered the remaining Seven Immortal Slaves.
Not only that, he applied a strange fluctuation to these seven Immortal Slaves.
At first, Xu Nian couldn't understand what this strange fluctuation was, but when he summoned the Gravity Space Domain, he understood.
This fluctuation Red Rock Immortal Emperor applied was precisely the Earth Attribute Profound Argumentation.
Xu Nian's reversal of the Gravity Space Direction now was of no effect.
"Buzz!"
The seven powerhouses simultaneously shattered the void, venturing towards Xu Nian.
Punches came forth.
Shaking the entire space with intense turmoil.
Seeing this, Xu Nian was instantly shocked, hurriedly turned into a shadow, and retreated.
"Boom!"
Black Mountain's massive body was instantly smashed into a huge pit, cracks appeared on the ground.
This was the exceptionally solid Black Corner Domain.
Yet, now it had been ruptured together by the combined force of the Seven Immortal Slaves.
Xu Nian's brow furrowed tightly, his eyes extremely serious.
But he hadn't given up, his gaze tightened instantly.
The Black Slaughter in his hand once again transformed into a shadow, fiercely slashing towards another Immortal Slave.
One Breath Turns into Ten Thousand Blades.
Sword Qi rampaged and wantonly.
"Clang clang clang!"
But when Xu Nian's sword light slashed onto the Immortal Slave's body, a series of striking sounds were emitted.
Upon seeing, the Immortal Slave's body exuded a layer of red rock.
Xu Nian's sword Qi clashing against the rock could only barely leave a blade shadow.
"Such a hard defense!" Xu Nian exclaimed in shock.
On the side, Red Rock Immortal Emperor laughed: "Haha, don't forget, I am an Immortal Emperor, my understanding of Profound Argumentations is far above yours. Were it not for the limits of Heaven and Earth Rules, I could kill you ten thousand times in an instant."
