Chapter 2268: Reunion with an Old Acquaintance

Very soon, Xu Nian tore through the Void and arrived at the Heavenly Divine Continent.

The Heavenly Divine Continent was practically the territory of Demon Beasts, so the Demon Beast species here were incomparably numerous.

Among them, the strongest force was naturally the Ten Thousand Dao Dragon Nest, followed by the Demon God Palace.

As for the Demon God Palace, Xu Nian was not unfamiliar; back in the Immortal Realm, Xu Nian had already come into contact with it.

Now that Xu Nian had come here, apart from searching for Feng Clear, he was also looking for Luo Blood and Xu Yu.

Luo Blood’s true body was a Blood Phoenix, so it was very likely she was also within the Phoenix Clan.

And Xu Yu’s true body was also a Demon Beast; after ascending to the Divine World, it was highly possible she was in this Heavenly Divine Continent.

"This should be the territory of the Demon God Palace. Up ahead should be one of the Demon God Palace’s residences. I’ll go take a look there first. If there’s no harvest, it won’t be too late to go to the Phoenix Clan." Xu Nian muttered to himself in his heart.

With that, he once again tore open the Void and crossed over.

...

And right in a city eight hundred li away, where Xu Nian had just vanished, a battle was currently erupting.

An extremely valiant woman was wielding a Long Spear, fighting against three men.

The woman’s strength was roughly at the Late-stage God King Level, while the three men had all reached God King Peak.

Yet facing the three men’s fierce attacks, the woman was not at all at a disadvantage.

But because the woman seemed to have been injured previously, at this moment she was somewhat lacking in strength.

"Su Chan, today is your death day." One of the men snorted coldly, a mocking expression on his face.

The other two were also full of ridicule as they attacked nonstop, Power of Laws surging.

Su Chan, who had held the advantage earlier, gradually fell into the inferior position.

The three men’s attacks were making it somewhat hard for her to cope.

"You’re despicable and shameless, actually ambushing me. Even if I, Su Chan, die today, I’ll make you pay the price." Su Chan was incomparably furious.

The God King Power within her body erupted madly as she struck without regard for the cost.

But her injuries were truly too heavy, and these three were all God Kings one level higher than her.

At this moment Su Chan was clearly finding it difficult to withstand them.

"Su Chan, surrender obediently. As long as you serve the three of us well, I can spare your life." The leading God King Peak man said with a lewd, wicked grin.

The gazes of the other two men toward Su Chan were also filled with a dense, evil intent.

"You shameless bastards, even if I, Su Chan, die, I will never fall into the hands of you three filthy snakes." Su Chan roared.

Then she was about to burn her own essence blood and make a desperate last stand.

In the Void, Xu Nian saw this scene, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

It was actually Su Chan!

Back then Su Chan had descended to the Lower Realm under the identity of a Female Demon God; at that time, Su Chan’s Cultivation had only been at God Level.

He hadn’t expected that after several hundred years, he would actually encounter her here.

Now, seeing Su Chan preparing to fight to the death, Xu Nian could only shake his head helplessly.

Su Chan had helped him back in the Immortal Realm; seeing her in danger now, he naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian’s figure appeared directly in front of Su Chan.

Xu Nian’s sudden appearance naturally startled all four of them.

"Xu... Xu Nian?" Su Chan looked at Xu Nian in utter disbelief.

Clearly, she recognized that the young man before her was the same young man she had met in the immortal and demon Realm; she hadn’t expected that he had really ascended to the Divine World.

"It’s me, Su Chan. Long time no see. I didn’t expect you still remembered me." Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Xu Nian, how are you here? When did you ascend to the Divine World?" Su Chan asked in surprise.

"Roughly more than two hundred years ago." Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"More than two hundred years ago? With your talent, ascending to the Divine World truly isn’t difficult." Su Chan nodded.

She probed Xu Nian’s Cultivation, only to find she couldn’t see through him at all.

Could it be he’d cultivated some kind of Secret Technique to conceal his own Cultivation?

Su Chan wasn’t surprised by this; people who possessed such Secret Techniques were not few even in the Divine World.

"Where did this ignorant fool come from, daring to meddle in our business?" The three men opposite looked at Xu Nian with thick disdain.

Earlier, since they hadn’t clearly seen Xu Nian’s Cultivation, they didn’t dare act rashly.

But when Su Chan said Xu Nian had ascended from the Immortal Realm and only two hundred years had passed, they immediately let out a long breath.

A man who had ascended to the Divine World for just two hundred years—what level could his Cultivation have reached?

God?

At most Daluo Heavenly God.

With that kind of Cultivation, to still want to meddle in their business was simply courting death.

"Xu Nian, leave quickly. Don’t worry about me. They’re all at God King Peak Level; you’re no match for them." Su Chan instantly came to her senses and hurriedly warned him.

"Relax, they can’t hurt me. I’ve already reached the God Emperor Realm now." Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Divine Emperor... hahaha..." The three God Kings opposite burst into wild laughter.

A man who had ascended to the Divine World for two hundred years actually claimed he had reached the God Emperor Realm?

This was probably the biggest joke they had ever heard.

Su Chan also frowned tightly, thinking Xu Nian was just joking.

After all, even she couldn’t believe that someone could step into the God Emperor Realm in just a little over two hundred years after ascending.

"Xu Nian, hurry and leave. Stop joking." Su Chan urged anxiously.

Xu Nian could only shake his head helplessly.

In these times, no one believed you even when you told the truth.

"Hahaha, a Divine Emperor? I want to see just what kind of strength this Divine Emperor has." One of the God Kings laughed loudly.

With that, he charged toward Xu Nian to kill him.

The other two also sneered, their faces full of thick mockery.

Clearly, in their eyes, it was impossible for Xu Nian to be a Divine Emperor.

"Die, ’Divine Emperor’!" That God King man sneered, slashing a Divine Blade toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian looked at the incoming Divine Blade, a faint trace of contempt on his face.

This level of attack—he hadn’t seen something this weak in a long time.

So facing the other’s attack, Xu Nian simply stood where he was, not moving in the slightest.

Yet this action of Xu Nian’s looked to the opponent like he’d been scared silly, making them even more disdainful in their hearts.

Su Chan grew extremely anxious, planning to risk her life and strike to block this blow for Xu Nian.

However, just as the Power of Laws contained in that slash was about to land on Xu Nian’s body...

An invisible ripple instantly spread out like water waves, with Xu Nian at its center.

In the next instant, the entire space directly froze.

Not only were the dust motes in the air locked in place, but even those three God King Peak bastards and Su Chan were all frozen by Xu Nian’s spatial stasis.

"This..." Su Chan’s expression changed drastically; from her eyes one could see her heart was filled with boundless shock.

The three God King Peak Experts also felt as though a raging storm had erupted in their hearts at this moment.

Spatial stasis?

And he’d frozen all four of them at once?

How was this possible?

Could it be that this guy before them really was a Divine Emperor?

"Now do you believe I’m a Divine Emperor?" Xu Nian looked at Su Chan and smiled.

With a mere thought, Su Chan was able to move freely.

Feeling that she could move while everything around her was still frozen, Su Chan’s shock reached an extreme.

"You... you really have reached the God Emperor Realm?" Su Chan still couldn’t quite believe it as she asked.

Xu Nian smiled faintly, and the pressure of a Fifth-level God Emperor burst forth in an instant.

In the next moment, an unparalleled oppressive force instantly descended upon this stretch of heaven and earth.

Within a radius of ten thousand li, all living beings were trembling uncontrollably.

Su Chan was completely stunned, her entire body involuntarily dropping to her knees.

The three God Kings felt as though the sky was collapsing and the earth was cracking, their terror reaching the absolute limit.

He actually... really was a Divine Emperor...
