Chapter 667: Emperor of Great Tang, Li Cheng
Divinity Continent.
After Su Qianyuan returned with Li Cheng and Lin Mo,
a series of ripples emerged within the Divinity Continent.
Even other continents heard this news and sent quite a few people to find out more.
But those people were all stopped outside the Taiyi Sword Sect.
With Ye Luo present, the Taiyi Sword Sect was not a place others could enter at will.
Inside the main hall of Taiyi Sword Sect,
Ye Luo fell into deep thought after discussing with Li Cheng and Lin Mo.
From these two fellow disciples, he learned a lot about the Tianjian Continent.
He also understood the combat power levels of the Tianjian Continent.
Monster Soldiers, Demon Generals, Demon Saints, Demon Emperors, and then there was also a Demon Sovereign.
Approximately five Demon Saints could hold back Su Qianyuan.
And there were quite a few of such Demon Saints in the Tianjian Continent…
It seemed that the strength from the old era was extremely terrifying.
This was not going to be easy to deal with.
Ye Luo was well aware of the predicament of their new era.
Without their Respected Master's intervention, how could they of the new era put up a fight?
A single Demon Emperor was already enough to leave them breathless.
Not to mention there was also a Demon Emperor and a Demon Sovereign whose situation was unknown.
The balance of power between the two sides was utterly uneven.
Ye Luo furrowed his brows deeply.
"Big senior brother, are you... do you have something troubling you?"
Li Cheng, standing beside, could not help but ask as he looked up at his imposing big senior brother.
"It's nothing, not a big deal. You two came from another continent and haven't been to our ancestral Wayless Sect yet, right? You might as well go take a look and recognize the ancestral home first," Ye Luo said, shaking his head, with no intention of sharing details with Li Cheng.
"Alright, but... big senior brother, before we go, may I spar with you?"
Li Cheng asked.
His tone was sincere and full of fighting spirit.
He could sense that this big senior brother was very strong.
But he didn't know just how strong.
So, he really wanted to try and see what level of strength this big senior brother had.
"You want to spar with me?"
Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment.
He had not expected this junior brother of his to make such a request.
Sparing with him was asking for a beating.
"Yes, please do not hesitate to enlighten me, big senior brother!"
Li Cheng nodded firmly.
…
Dozens of minutes later.
Ye Luo returned to the main hall.
Li Cheng and Lin Mo had already left.
The result of the battle went without saying.
Li Cheng and Lin Mo were simply unable to withstand a single strike from Ye Luo.
Even though Li Cheng was protected by the exceptional power of incense and faith, he still couldn't withstand Ye Luo, a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator with the "Golden Immortal Dao Fruit."
Ye Luo did not even need to use the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and with one stroke, defeated both Li Cheng and Lin Mo.
Ye Luo, back in the main hall, immediately gathered the strong from various continents and many disciples of the Wudao Sect.
He wanted to discuss in earnest how to deal with the old era.
He also planned to inform everyone about the specific information of the old era.
Being unable to win didn't mean they couldn't learn from the information.
Having concrete information would, after all, be a significant advantage.
…
Elsewhere.
The defeated Li Cheng and Lin Mo, dejected, arrived outside Misty Mountain based on the information given by Ye Luo.
Both of them considered themselves to be invincible in combat.
Especially Li Cheng.
He had always been unmatched, and it nearly led him to believe in his own invincibility.
But upon encountering Ye Luo, they seemed like frogs in a well.
Under that one strike, they had no power to fight back at all.
The splendor of that single sword strike crushed not only their attacks but also their spirits, mental state, and physical form.
That was absolute suppression.
That sword, it completely crushed their pride.
"Senior Brother, our eldest senior brother... is truly so powerful."
Walking on the mountain path, Lin Mo took a deep breath and broke the silence.
"Yes, our eldest senior brother is very strong."
Li Cheng also had to admit Ye Luo's strength.
Such power could not be described with words.
It was an ultimate form of strength.
"Senior Brother, sooner or later, we will become as strong as our eldest senior brother, definitely!"
Lin Mo was not discouraged, but instead, his eyes ignited with a fighting spirit.
He wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ye Luo, to surpass Ye Luo!
"Hmm..."
Li Cheng replied listlessly.
But he had no such fighting spirit.
He was more aware of the terrifyng nature of Ye Luo than Lin Mo.
Moreover, his current strength had already hit a bottleneck; it was not easy to break through.
Li Cheng contemplated his own situation.
Aside from the power of faith and the power of incense he possessed,
he had no other special qualities.
Without those two special powers,
there was nothing particularly special about him.
At most, he was just a bit stronger than the average cultivator of the same realm.
But facing someone like Ye Luo, a peerless genius of his age, he had no chance of winning.
However, Li Cheng couldn't think of any way to break through on his own.
As Li Cheng continued forward with a heavy heart,
walking along, he suddenly noticed that the surroundings had become quiet.
This caused him to be taken aback.
He found that without knowing when, the surroundings had turned into layers of clouds.
Above the clouds, there was a flicker of golden light.
Lin Mo, who had been behind him, had disappeared without a trace.
This instantly put Li Cheng on high alert.
He raised his head to look at the only streak of golden light, trying to see through it.
Yet, no matter how hard he looked, he could not perceive the essence of the golden light.
"Stop looking, 'I am' not something you can understand right now," a voice said, coming from the sky.
The voice carried endless authority, but there was also a hint of indulgence.
Li Cheng looked up.
He saw that the golden light quickly transformed and in just a brief moment, it changed into a dragon throne.
On the dragon throne sat a figure.
The figure was bathed in brilliant golden light, and just sitting there, it incited a feeling of worship, as if this person was the dominator of heaven and earth, able to decree life and death with a single word.
But to Li Cheng,
there was a sense of familiarity about this person...
He didn't know where this familiar feeling came from.
"Who are you!" Li Cheng asked with a confused tone.
"Who am 'I'? 'I am' the Emperor of Great Tang, Li Cheng," the figure seemed amused by Li Cheng's words and chuckled as he spoke.
With these words,
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment.
This person said his name is Li Cheng? Having the same name as him?
How could it be such a coincidence...
And who was the Emperor of Great Tang? He had never heard of this title before.
"'I am' not from this world, 'I am' from the Upper Realm," the figure seemed to perceive Li Cheng's confusion and softly clarified, resolving Li Cheng's doubt.
"Upper Realm?"
Li Cheng's doubts were immediately dispelled.
No wonder he had never heard of this person's fame, the Emperor of Great Tang...
But why was this person looking for him? And why did their names match exactly?
The most important thing was, why did he feel a familiar sensation from that figure...
