Chapter 404 Might Of The Abhorst Empire (2)



Hu Bai couldn't even react when Hua Zhen Long appeared infront of him. The speed of the newly emerged devil was so fast that even an emperor like Hu Bai failed to trace his movement.

"Law glimpse realm expert, I wonder how your heart tastes like!", Hua Zhen Long asked with a smile. Before anyone could react, he thrusted his hand towards the chest of Hu Bai.

Hu Bai was taken aback by the devil's sudden movement. His first instinct was to flee but when he tried to move his body, he found that he was unable to do so. He watched with horror and disbelief as the devil thrusted his hand into his chest.

"Wretched devil, you dare!", a furious cry rang out from a distance. It was the roar of Yang Yukong who was too late to act against the devil's movement.

A blinding crimson slash came crashing towards Hua Zhen Long who was in the midst of attacking Hu Bai. Hua Zhen Long merely smiled after seeing the rage filled slash coming towards him.

He tossed Hu Bai towards the crimson slash and vanished from his location. "Damn it", Yang Yukong watched with disbelief as his own slash tore apart the body of his companion.

"Junior brother Yukong, calm down. Don't give in to your emotions", Yang Yukong heard a deep voice next to his ears. He turned his head and found Fu Deming standing next to him. Fu Deming had a frown on his face as he looked towards Hua Zhen Long.

Hua Zhen Long went back to his previous position after dealing with Hu Bai. He was holding a beating heart in his hand as he gave a taunting look to both Yang Yukong and Fu Deming. He struck out his tongue and gave a lick to the beating heart in his hand. A look of bliss appeared on his face as he savoured the taste of Hu Bhai's heart.

"Bastard!", Yang Yukong felt like he would die of rage if he suppressed himself any longer. His only thought was to rush forward and tore apart the sinister devil infront of him. Just when his rage was about to get uncontrolled, he felt a cooling sensation in his mind. It was Fu Deming who channeled some of his essence energy into body. Yang Yukong calmed down slightly after Fu Deming's intervention.

"This devil is not easy to deal with. We need to fall back", Fu Deming spoke. Yang Yukong was unwilling but he had to leave with Fu Deming.

The human emperors stared in shock as Hua Zhen Long savoured Hu Bai's heart slowly. Shui Liying felt shaken despite her experience as an emperor. She had never seen something so barbaric in her long years of life. The act of devils reminded her how cruel the cultivation world could be.

"Senior brother Deming, why don't you take action? The devils will feel much bolder after the fall of one of our emperor", Huang Mei asked with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why Fu Deming didn't do anything despite his overwhelming strength.

"Junior sister Mei, have patience. That devil is not someone easy to deal with", Fu Deming spoke calmly. A hint of seriousness appeared on his face as he looked towards the spatial crack.

"We don't know how many devils are going to emerge this time. Let us observe them first. We can think of a plan after getting a clear understanding of devils' strength", Fu Deming added further.

Zhan Chen who was cultivating inside the small mansion, oblivious about the dangerous situation. He kept circulating the Celestial yinyang Sutra and his essenge energy pool continued to get larger.

"Ti da!", drops of condensed essence energy fell into his energy sea as his cultivation soared with every passing moment. He pushed his cultivation through the fifth stage of Martial ascension realm and reached the sixth stage swiftly. His essence energy sea expanded again as his aura flourished.

Zhan Chen was glad to see that more than half of the energy, he had gained from Shui Liying was still left. So, he decided to push through and cultivate all the way to the seventh stage of the Martial ascension realm.

The primordial yin essence of a late emperor realm expert like Shui Liying was really potent. Zhan Chen needed multiple times of essnce energy than a normal cultivator yet his cultivation still broke through two stages quickly after he dual cultivated with Shui Liying. There was still more than half of the energy left. So, Zhan Chen pushed through. His cultivation surged as he reached the peak of the sixth stage.

Zhan Chen circulated essence energy according to the Celestial yinyang Sutra and the essence energy sea inside his body surged. It threatened to spill over as Zhan Chen added condensed drops of essence energy in his energy sea.

Zhan Chen continued to cultivate and added new drops of essence energy in his energy sea. The borders of his essence energy sea finally felt strained as Zhan Chen continued to press them with his surging cultivation.

"Snap!", finally something breaking upon was heard inside Zhan Chen's body. The boundaries of his essence energy sea expanded as the overflowing drops of essence energy found a new outlet. Zhan Chen continued to cultivate patiently and added new drops of essence energy inside his energy sea.

If it was some other cultivator, he would have stopped already. No matter how genius a Martial ascension realm cultivator was, he would have feel strained after raising his cultivation by one or two stages.

The reason for this disparity was the consumption of mental and sprit energy. One needed to use his mental energy to condense the essence energy. One had to condense more than hundred drops of essence energy to raise a stage in Martial ascension realm. The higher the stages, the more essence energy drops were needed to raise the cultivation.

That was the reason, people had to cultivate slowly even if they had abundant cultivation resources. Almost every cultivator was restrained by such a limitation but the exception was Zhan Chen regarding this matter. His soul was already at the peak of sage realm. His spirit energy was also abundant as he had already become a formation king in the Xuantian sect. So, he had no problem in condensing essence energy droplets as he continued to push his cultivation.

Zhan Chen felt a huge bottleneck after pushing his cultivation to the peak of the seventh stage. He felt the essence energy he had was insufficient for pushing his cultivation to the Heavenly tribulation realm.

Zhan Chen chose to stop after feeling the bottleneck. He circulated the remaining esence energy inside his body before opening his eyes. He had a much deeper and mighty aura after he reached the peak of the Martial ascension realm. It had been only few hours yet he managed to push his cultivation from the middle of the Martial ascension realm to the peak of the Martial ascension realm.

"I need to say thanks to Liying this time. Her help is tremendous. Without her, I would have needed much more time before reaching the peak of the Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
