Chapter 559: The Protective Emperor

Chapter 559: The Protective Emperor

As a great demon, Yuan Shan's imposing presence was already incredibly terrifying. However, when the man clad in emperor robes appeared between heaven and earth, an even more overwhelming and invincible pressure descended upon the world - this was true imperial might!

There were many powerhouses in the world, but only two emperors.

Yuan Shan's expression turned serious. The moment he saw this figure, he immediately knew who it was.

That human monarch.

"To think, just a few young people could actually trouble Your Majesty to come up north." Yuan Shan spoke calmly and indifferently. "Does Your Majesty truly believe that every time you venture deep into the demon territory, you can come and go as you please?"

The Great Liang Emperor stood in the wind and snow without answering him. He merely glanced at Chen Chao. He had clearly heard what was said earlier, this stinking brat still felt wronged after all.

Xie Nandu came to Chen Chao's side, pulled out a pill from her robes, and stuffed it into his mouth. She then handed two more to the other two before asking, "Almost died?"

Chen Chao said stubbornly, "Still far from that."

Xie Nandu gave an "oh" and said with a half-smile, "Then it seems we should have come a bit later."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "Didn't we agree that you aren't to venture deep into the desolate north? Why did you come to the demon territory?"

Logically speaking, Xie Nandu should not have been here at all, let alone deep in the desolate north, yet she had crossed over the desolate north and arrived directly in the demon territory.

"I came with His Majesty, what danger could there be?"

Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao and said, "Coming here was necessary. If I arrive in time, I can save your life. If I'm a bit late, I'll collect your corpse."

Chen Chao was at a loss for words.

Yu Xiyi could not stand it anymore and frowned, saying, "I say, could you two stop flirting so openly? Not caring about my feelings is one thing, but there's a monk here too, don't you think you're being a bit too much?"

Xie Nandu turned and looked at Yu Xiyi and asked suspiciously, "Wild Grass?"

Yu Xiyi retorted indignantly, "Is Your Father less famous than my sword?"

Xie Nandu smiled slightly, but her gaze ultimately fell on the young monk.

A monk from Deercry Monastery.

Xie Nandu did not say much, merely shifting her gaze back to the distance.

Amidst the wind and snow, the Great Liang Emperor stood silently, looking at Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan did not make any rash moves. Faced with this human emperor, who had once escaped from the hands of the Demon Emperor unscathed, he had to proceed with caution.

"We heard that Yuan Ling was your nephew. Are you here to seek revenge?"

The Great Liang Emperor's voice rang out slowly, like a sharp blade cutting through the wind and snow.

Yuan Shan responded indifferently, "What's the point of Your Majesty asking so many questions?"

The Great Liang Emperor said calmly, "There's naturally some meaning. It's only right for you to stand up for your nephew. However, your nephew is dead, and if you wish to kill Our nephew in return, We cannot tolerate you."

But as the Great Liang Emperor slowly raised his hand and then pressed it downward, an unprecedentedly vast pressure emerged between heaven and earth. With his downward motion, Yuan Shan's enormous dharma idol was forced to lift its hands, as if some immense weight from the heavens was descending upon it.

But could he withstand it?

Clearly not.

The dharma idol's hands shattered first, followed by the massive head of the green ape. Then, as the Great Liang Emperor's hand reached his abdomen, the entire towering dharma idol shattered completely, as if it had never existed at all.

Yuan Shan’s figure reappeared in the wind and snow, his face pale, coughing up blood.

Yet, he clearly had no intention of surrendering. After an earth-shattering roar, his body began to crackle with sounds, and a green ape, towering over a hundred feet high, appeared between heaven and earth.

Its blood vitality surged like an abyss, and its aura was terrifying!

As soon as this green ape appeared, the wind and snow all around began to tremble, and countless snowflakes exploded with a thunderous roar!

It was as if a true avalanche had descended!

At this moment, the world trembled uncontrollably.

Wild Grass broke free, and with a thought from the Great Liang Emperor, it returned to land in front of Yu Xiyi.

Then, he glanced at the enormous green ape.

The massive green ape threw a punch at the Great Liang Emperor, the overwhelming demonic qi carrying a fierce wind that scattered the nearby snow and made the Great Liang Emperor's emperor robe billow loudly!

The Great Liang Emperor felt the pressure that was as heavy as a mountain, but remained calm and silent. He simply raised his hand.

And threw a punch in return.

A loud boom resounded.

The two fists collided.

Terrifying waves of qi rippled outward, and all the snow caught in this shockwave was instantly pulverized into dust.

This was an extraordinary phenomenon that was only possible in a clash between true powerhouses!

Chen Chao pulled Xie Nandu behind him, while the young monk once again tossed out his string of prayer beads, using them as a barrier in front of the group.

As their fists met, Yuan Shan's true demon form staggered back several steps.

Though the bodies of the green ape race were terrifying, they stood no chance against such an unrivaled martial artist.

After the punch, the Great Liang Emperor advanced relentlessly, appearing before Yuan Shan. Staring at this terrifying great demon who was just a step away from reaching the end of Nepenthe, he said coldly, "Who gave you the guts to lay a hand on Our nephew?!"

With those words, an immense surge of qi crashed into the demon’s body.

The Great Liang Emperor who had long already reached the pinnacle of martial strength gazed at the green ape before him, a hint of murderous intent finally appearing in his eyes.
