Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

"Whatever," Luo Feng said nonchalantly. At his words, Du Ying’s aged face turned extremely grim. This Luo Feng was truly lawless. They had the same status, yet Luo Feng’s cultivation was just one Small Realm higher than his. But that single Small Realm was enough for Luo Feng to keep Du Ying firmly suppressed.

"Hmph..." Du Ying snorted coldly. He didn’t want to fight Luo Feng right now. After all, for experts of their caliber, the difference of a single Small Realm in cultivation was a massive gap. Du Ying knew he was no match for Luo Feng.

Du Ying chose to forbear. With him out of the way, the next steps were simple. Lin Yun turned to Lu Bingning and said gently, "Wait here for me."

Looking at Lin Yun, Lu Bingning knew what he was about to do. She gave a small smile and nodded, her trust in him absolute.

"Yun’Er, don’t be impulsive! The Imperial Palace is filled with experts..." Seeing that Lin Yun had already drawn his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Zhang Jingxiang nervously came forward and tugged on his arm.

Facing his mother’s concern, Lin Yun gently squeezed her hand. "Mom, it’s alright. I’ll be right back."

Seeing how much Lin Yun had grown, Zhang Jingxiang ultimately didn’t try to stop him again. ’My son is a man now,’ she thought. ’He can stand on his own two feet.’

Leaving his mother in Lu Bingning’s care, Lin Yun walked step-by-step toward the distant Forbidden Guard Army. The Emperor watched his approach, his expression deeply conflicted.

He absolutely could not afford to offend Luo Feng. Before the Flawless Palace, a hundred Yanhuang Royal Families were less than nothing. Luo Feng had forbidden anyone at or above the Early Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm from interfering, and the Emperor didn’t dare disobey. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

While the Emperor was still wrestling with his thoughts, Lin Yun had already reached the Forbidden Guard Army. There were twelve guards in total. All Lin Yun could think about was killing, so he summoned Little Ape right from the start.

Little Ape transformed, growing taller than a man, its blood-red fur a horrifying sight. Up on the high platform, Luo Feng and Du Ying’s eyes narrowed as they saw it. Little Ape’s aura sent a shock through them.

Experts of Luo Feng’s caliber knew many of the Celestial Spirit Continent’s most hidden secrets.

’This kid... I never expected him to have such fortune. But there’s something strange about this War Ape’s aura,’ Luo Feng mused.

Lin Yun was oblivious to Luo Feng and Du Ying’s speculation. Wasting no words, he and Little Ape launched their attack.

Among the twelve Forbidden Guard Army soldiers, only two were experts at the Early Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm; the rest were all at the Qi Sea Realm. These two Primordial Ocean Realm experts were also the unit’s commanders and held high status within the Imperial Palace.

After all, Yanhuang Country was no match for the Six Great Forces, such as Celestial Eagle Valley. For the Yanhuang Royal Family, Primordial Ocean Realm experts were their strongest warriors, each one an incredibly precious asset.

Right now, however, these two experts of the Early Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm were like fish on a chopping block before Lin Yun and Little Ape, utterly helpless.

In a matter of seconds, all ten Qi Sea Realm guards were dead. The two Primordial Ocean Realm experts were being completely overwhelmed by Lin Yun and Little Ape, and it was clear they wouldn’t last much longer.

Lin Yun had survived an ambush by five Primordial Ocean Realm geniuses and even managed to kill two of them. Facing two ordinary Primordial Ocean Realm experts now was almost laughably easy.

"Lin Yun, I am willing to compensate you! Name your price, and my Royal Family will pay it!" Seeing his two Primordial Ocean Realm experts in imminent danger, the Emperor suddenly shouted.

The Royal Family only had a little over a dozen Primordial Ocean Realm experts. The Emperor’s heart ached at the thought of losing two at once. The resources required to cultivate a single one were astronomical.

"Compensation? Fine. You can compensate me with the lives of everyone in your Royal Family," Lin Yun replied icily.

"You...!" The Emperor was livid, but with Luo Feng right there, he didn’t dare say more. He could only scowl and resign himself to the loss of two Primordial Ocean Realm experts.

But the Emperor had clearly underestimated the depths of Lin Yun’s killing intent. After finishing off the two Primordial Ocean Realm experts, Lin Yun and Little Ape carved a bloody path out of the Purple Gold Hall.

Soon, the entire Forbidden Guard Army was suffering under their rampage. Any guards that Lin Yun and Little Ape came across were mercilessly slaughtered.

They left no one alive in their wake. Aside from Palace Maids and eunuchs, any soldier of the Forbidden Guard Army with a cultivation base was killed on sight.

These guards, with only Qi Sea Realm cultivation, couldn’t withstand a single blow from Lin Yun or Little Ape. For Lin Yun, killing them was effortless.

In less than an hour, Lin Yun and Little Ape had killed half of the Imperial Palace’s Forbidden Guard Army. Four Primordial Ocean Realm experts were now dead.

Such a devastating loss made it impossible for the Emperor to remain seated. He looked to Tang Chenming at his side, his eyes pleading for help.

As the patriarch of the Tang Family, Tang Chenming was filled with rage as he watched his family’s experts being slaughtered by Lin Yun. He turned to Du Ying. "Valley Master..."

Hearing Tang Chenming, Du Ying waved a hand dismissively before turning to Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, enough is enough. He’s done plenty of killing. Isn’t it time for this to end?"

With a slight smile, Luo Feng took a sip of wine. "I haven’t lifted a finger," he said. "My disciple wants revenge, and it’s not my place to interfere. How about this? The Tang Family can dispatch an expert at the Middle Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm to stop them."

As he finished, the corner of Luo Feng’s mouth curled into a smirk. ’Sending someone from the Middle Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm would be suicide. Together, Lin Yun and that War Ape could even fight someone at the Late Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm.’

At Luo Feng’s words, the Emperor quickly summoned an expert at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm and ordered him to intercept the pair.

"If you get the chance, kill them," the Emperor whispered to the expert from the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm when he thought no one was looking.

The man nodded and swiftly flew out of the Purple Gold Hall.

Lin Yun and Little Ape had been enjoying their slaughter. After rampaging in a wide circle, they returned to the plaza in front of the Purple Gold Hall, only to find an expert from the Middle Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm standing before them.

"Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm? Excellent. Today, I’ll slaughter every last expert in the Royal Family." By now, Lin Yun’s clothes were stained with blood, and his killing intent was palpable.

Hearing Lin Yun’s declaration, Little Ape radiated a dense Evil Qi, its presence every bit as intimidating as its master’s.

Looking at the man and the ape before him, the expert’s heart tightened. ’They’re both just at the Qi Sea Realm. Logically, someone like me at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm should have nothing to fear from them.’

But the reality was the exact opposite. He was indeed at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm, but the combined aura radiating from Lin Yun and Little Ape sent a chill deep into his bones.

Lin Yun was no ordinary Qi Sea Realm cultivator, and Little Ape was no ordinary Tier Two Demon Beast. It was no wonder the man felt a burgeoning fear at having to face these two monstrosities at once.
