Chapter 1162: Chapter 1163: Subduing the Quasi-Emperor
The people of the Sun Clan.
Earlier, Chu Fengmian saved the Sun Clan from the hands of a group of bloodthirsty demon beasts, only for them to betray him.
As for the Sun Clan, Chu Fengmian held no fondness for them.
Chu Fengmian’s character was one of clear grievances and favors, detesting betrayal the most.
If it weren’t for the Sun Clan, Chu Fengmian might have allowed this quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan to speak a few more words, but now, Chu Fengmian couldn’t be bothered to waste a single word with this person.
"Die for me."
Chu Fengmian’s figure burst forth, transforming into a phantom, charging directly ahead.
At the same time, the Spirit Sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand moved. In an instant, sword lights filled the sky and converged. These sword lights, brimming with extreme killing intent, surged towards the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan, aiming to kill.
"This brat is crazy, let’s fight him to the death. Even if we die today, we’ll drag him down with us!"
The quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan revealed a few traces of madness on his face as he fiercely charged towards Chu Fengmian, while the spiritual power within him began to expand continuously.
Within the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan’s body, the spiritual power had become incredibly violent, ready to explode at any moment, destroying everything around.
"Brat, taste the power of self-destruction, you’ll accompany me to the grave!"
The power of a quasi-emperor’s self-destruction was astonishingly terrifying, to the extreme. Chu Fengmian had once nearly died at the self-destruction of that Sky Demon Venerable.
Even a true emperor would retreat in the face of a quasi-emperor’s desperate self-destruction, only able to flee.
And in this cave of ten thousand beasts, there was nowhere to hide.
Now, this quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan had resolved to drag Chu Fengmian to the grave with him.
"Self-destruct?"
Gazing at the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan, Chu Fengmian shook his head suddenly.
"Is this your so-called fight to the death?"
Chu Fengmian spoke calmly, as the Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique re-converged beside the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan, forming a terrifying vortex full of endless devouring power.
In an instant, all the surrounding power was swallowed by this terrifying vortex, including the body of the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan.
"Boom!"
An extremely terrifying spiritual power erupted from the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan.
However, no matter how terrifying the power, it couldn’t escape the devouring of this vortex. The quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan, who intended to drag Chu Fengmian to the grave, was mercilessly swallowed by the Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique.
Chu Fengmian’s Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique could devour everything; now, even a quasi-emperor’s self-destruction would be mercilessly swallowed.
"Do you two have any last words?"
Chu Fengmian gathered all the essential blood from the self-destruction of the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan, then turned to look at the last two remaining quasi-emperors.
"Chu Fengmian, no, Mr. Chu, spare us. As long as you don’t kill us, we’re willing to follow you, even as slaves."
The two quasi-emperors looked at Chu Fengmian, their hearts filled with fear, completely surrendering.
Self-destruction was considered a martial artist’s last resort. Even if it meant their own death, it would drag the opponent down, causing severe injury.
But now, facing Chu Fengmian and triggering self-destruction, the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan hadn’t harmed him in the slightest.
To the two quasi-emperors, it felt like all their methods held no meaning in front of Chu Fengmian, leaving them utterly disheartened.
Originally, they had planned to fight Chu Fengmian to the death, but seeing the fate of the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan, they were left only with fear.
"Oh? Are you willing to submit?"
Chu Fengmian looked at the two, his gaze suddenly flickering, as if he were considering.
Suddenly, a pitch-black spiritual power slowly gathered in his palm, forming into two marks, and flew towards the two quasi-emperors.
They were imprinted deep within their Spirit Veins.
The Life and Death Seal of All Heavens.
Once a Spirit Vein is imprinted with the Life and Death Seal of All Heavens, unless there is a presence with power truly enough to crush Chu Fengmian, it cannot be undone.
Otherwise, throughout their entire lives, they could only obey Chu Fengmian’s commands.
"I’m giving you two a chance to serve, serve well, work for me, and it’s a great opportunity for you."
Chu Fengmian said slowly, looking at the two quasi-emperors.
"Yes."
The two quasi-emperors nodded hurriedly, smiling bitterly inside. They were now shackled by Chu Fengmian, restricted from their own Spirit Veins.
Even if they wanted to go back on their word, it was impossible.
"Speak, what is your background?"
Chu Fengmian asked directly.
"Reporting to the master, my name is Qing Song, I’m the Supreme Elder of one of the eight great royal clans, the Qing Clan."
"My name is Jin Yuan, the Supreme Elder of one of the eight great royal clans, the Jin Clan."
Hearing Chu Fengmian’s inquiry, Qing Song, and Jin Yuan both answered respectfully.
"The Qing Clan, Jin Clan."
The eight great royal clans, Chu Fengmian remembered, were divided into the White, Qing, Fire, Lei, Wind, Xuan, Mo, and Jin clans.
The eight great royal clans, with the Bai Clan as the leader, as for the other, Chu Fengmian knew little about them.
"Tell me about the situation of the eight great royal clans."
Chu Fengmian’s understanding of the eight great royal clans came from the memories of the Fire Clan’s Young Master and Lei Yan, though they had some status, their strength was not high.
They weren’t too informed about the eight great royal clans.
"Yes, the eight great royal clans are divided into the three upper clans and the five lower clans. The Bai, Mo, and Xuan clans are the three upper clans, as they have real emperors within them."
"Our Qing Clan, although listed alongside them as part of the eight great royal clans, holds a completely different status. The Ancient Serpent Empire is truly controlled by these three clans."
Qing Song respectfully reported everything he knew.
"Emperor..."
Chu Fengmian revealed a hint of fear in his eyes. He initially thought only the Bai Clan held a real emperor.
He didn’t expect the Mo and Xuan clans to have them too.
Quasi-emperors, though also called emperors, are considered false emperors. Only by further stepping into the realm of a true emperor are they considered true emperors.
A true emperor is much more terrifying than ten quasi-emperors.
In the world of bloodshed, Chu Fengmian could disregard quasi-emperors, but should a true emperor arrive, he would face tremendous trouble.
Moreover, once he leaves the world of blood, the power of the Swallowing Heaven Beast bloodline would be immensely affected.
While it seemed effortless for Chu Fengmian to kill the quasi-emperor of the Sun Clan and the Fourth Prince and others, he knew it was thanks to the blood power of the Swallowing Heaven Beast and the blessings within the world of blood.
Outside, Chu Fengmian couldn’t so recklessly utilize the Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique. Two or three uses in a day would be the limit.
