Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 380 - 338: The 4th Great Bandit, Wang Ming!

Chapter 380: Chapter 338: The 4th Great Bandit, Wang Ming!

Within the imitation of the Red Divine Furnace, a mighty figure appeared, possessing an authority that seemed to lord over all beneath the heavens, beyond those who ruled over an Immortal Sacred Land. Who else could there be like this?

Undoubtedly, it was the Supreme Saint Lord of Red God Valley arriving.

Divine Power surged tumultuously; who could have imagined that the Saint Lord of Red God Valley would suddenly appear at this critical moment, looking down upon the world with disdain?

That overwhelming Dao Divine Power made everyone tremble, not daring to make a move.

"Red God Valley Master!?"

The whole city was shaken; no one expected the master of this Immortal Sacred Land to personally descend upon Black Sky City. Were they not afraid of inciting the wrath of the Black Sky Eight Bandits and provoking them into action?

"Valley Master!" The Seventeenth Elder’s remaining head was now full of tears, with traces of blood running down his aged face. Then, with immense shame, he said, "I deserve to die for failing to fully protect the safety of our king, allowing him to be killed by a sneaky assassin. Please, Valley Master, punish me."

Within Black Sky City, countless people were astonished.

It was widespread knowledge that Red God Valley was extraordinary this generation, having produced a remarkable young Heavenly Pride, with unparalleled talent unlike any before, who embarked upon the Human Emperor Road. From his debut, he dominated many contemporaries by sweeping them aside, ultimately standing atop their bones to earn the title of king, known as the Red-scaled King.

Moreover, it was rumored that the Red-scaled King was not only a king but also possessed the Ancestor Blood of the first generation Ancient Ancestor Red Qilin of Red God Valley, capable of reviving the Ancestor Blood within his body, an unprecedented strength. Rarely matched throughout the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, the immense ambition of Red God Valley was entrusted to him, in hopes that one day he would wage wars on the Human Emperor Road and ascend to the first and highest Supreme Throne of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

But now, to say that he had been slain was too shocking, leaving many unable to react.

However, people then turned their gaze toward Ye Chen, as the Seventeenth Elder pursued him relentlessly. Could this youth be the one who had slain the Red-scaled King?

But recalling how Ye Chen, with the body of a Demigod, had fiercely clashed with the supreme combat power of the Seventeenth Elder, it sent shivers through them. This young Heavenly Pride indeed possessed the ultimate combat power to slay a king.

However, now this feud was huge. Having killed the young and crippled the old, the most terrifying had appeared, lording over Black Sky City.

"Your matter can be dealt with back in the valley," said the Red God Valley Master coldly as he glanced over the Seventeenth Elder, then turned his eyes toward Ye Chen. His lean and austere eyes narrowed dangerously, emitting a lethal intent that chilled the earth, before he slowly said, "Was it you who slew our tribal king? Indeed, remarkable, but today, no matter what, you must die!"

Swoosh—

His eyes instantly solidified into two beams of essence light, like two Dao Heavenly Swords striking out, trembling the very sky, chilling everyone to the core, slicing towards Ye Chen.

People often say if looks could kill, and it was no mere saying—at a high enough level, one’s gaze truly could slay enemies, just as the Red God Valley Master now did, with a glance of his Saint-status eyes, already substantial enough to kill.

And this was the Killing Thought Heavenly Sword of a Saint, formless yet existing, even a Semi-Saint would be severely wounded, let alone a young junior, who was undoubtedly doomed.

"Little Shan," whispered Chenn Ruo.

"I understand!"

Wang Shan intervened, raising his hand to block the two Pupil Light Heavenly Swords, his palm brimming with an overflowing Saintly Might, akin to a blazing Heavenly Sun, finally extinguishing the Killing Thought Heavenly Sword, disdainfully saying, "Shame on you for being a generation’s Saint Leader, bullying the young, dealing with a junior in such a way, truly shameful."

The Red God Valley Master turned his gaze to Wang Shan, standing with his hands behind his back, looking superiorly down at him, with an extremely imposing voice, "Are you trying to obstruct this Sovereign from disciplining this junior who has killed the king of my Red God Valley? Who gave you the audacity?"

Wang Shan snorted coldly, "Who gave me the audacity? Ridiculous. What is the Red God Valley Master but so? Not even the True Body has descended, and yet you dare to show up, truly thinking a Saint can be invincible in this world?"

He continued to act, recognizing that the figure manifested by the Red Divine Furnace could not possibly be the Red God Valley Master’s True Body. Such a person could not stoop to being contained within Daoist Soldiers and brought along by a Semi-Saint, and as a Saint, how could they move about casually? It would at most be one projected incarnation left behind, and even if powerful, it had its limits.

The people in the city came to a realization, so that was it.

"You are correct, it is indeed just a projected incarnation, but it’s not something that a mere novice entering the Saintly Treasure Realm like you can withstand."

Said the Red God Valley Master with imperious indifference, with just a flick of his hand striking a mighty blow that made the whole city tremble, the world shook, changing the colors of the wind and clouds, and Wang Shan’s attack was dissolved, even shaking his burly frame backwards several steps.

Behind him, swathes of building structures turned to ash and smoke.

People couldn’t help but gasp at this invincible might of the Saint-level characters; as the supreme figures of the Saint Realm, any Saint-level character had advanced too far on this path, far more powerful than Wang Shan, partly due to their longer Cultivation years, easily surpassing a thousand years.

A Saint Master able to rule over a Great Immortal Sacred Land and govern the rise and fall of Great Domains was a testament to their true strength.

"Indeed very powerful, but in the end, it’s just a projected incarnation, not too powerful, nor can it last for long. I’d like to see just how long this projection of yours can hold up," Wang Shan’s eyes twinkled, his palm wielding a Wolf Fang Club, snow-white and translucent, engraved and intertwined with various supreme Saint Realm Dao Mark Divine Principles, his Holy Weapon.

The Bone Wolf Fang Club grew rapidly in the wind, transforming in an instant into an enormous Sky-reaching Giant Pillar, straddling the sky, eclipsing the sun, and stretching thousands of feet long, as Wang Shan firmly gripped it and swept it directly towards the Red God Valley Master, carrying a power vast enough to destroy heaven and earth.

If it weren’t for concern over Black Sky City, this single strike could undoubtedly have swept almost half of Black Sky City to the ground, leveling it.

"Though a Saint, you’re far from a Saint Master!"

Red God Valley Master’s demeanor remained unchanged, even as a mere projection avatar, his exceptional nature was beyond the ordinary.

The Holy Weapon of the Red Divine Furnace began to awaken. This replica of the Immortal Ancient Weapon in his hand emitted an unprecedented supreme Saintly Might that had never been seen before, with Order Divine Chains intertwining and flying out, piercing through the void, and Saint Realm Dao Traces erupting. The entire Red Divine Furnace glowed with a crimson gold akin to the rosy clouds, bursting forth with boundless Saintly Might.

In comparison to the power awakened in the hands of a Semi-Saint like the Seventeenth Elder, the difference was like night and day.

At this moment, it was akin to the incarnation of the Heavenly Sun in the Heavenly Realm itself, resembling the emergence of a terrifying Red Qilin with unmatched ferocity.

With a thunderous roar, the heavens split and the earth shattered, Divine Light exploded across the long expanse of the sky, spreading far and wide, nearly destroying half of Black Sky City.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a mysterious force emerged within Black Sky City, protecting the entirety of the Ancient City, otherwise, countless casualties would have ensued.

However, during the confrontation, Wang Shan was blasted away. Even someone as powerful as him was swept away, his stout body like Little Shan retreating a full thirty-seven steps, incessantly bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and the Wolf Fang Club in his hand lost its luster, no longer emitting the brilliant pearl-like Divine Radiance.

He wore a look of shock. The Red God Valley Master before him was unbelievably strong, not resembling a common projection avatar at all, brandishing invincible might capable of sweeping through Saints, fundamentally unstoppable.

"How strong! Is this the might of a Saint Master level?" Many people in the city changed color.

"So strong, unlike any ordinary projection avatar, it’s more like... I understand now." Ye Chen muttered to himself, his eyes brimming with splendor, with runes and Dao Traces intertwining as he fixed his gaze upon the Red God Valley Master, grasping the entirety of the situation.

At the same time, Elder Yan understood as well, nodding his head, for they had all seen it - a drop of dazzling, shining blood emerged within the Red Divine Furnace, staining the inner walls of the furnace, now fully awakening and radiating with supreme Holy Light.

It was precisely this drop of Dao Saint Blood that unleashed the supreme Dao Saintly Might, possibly a drop of Essence Blood from the Red God Valley Master, that combined with the Red Divine Furnace, was able to exert such terrifying Saint Master Level Divine Might.

Wang Shan also realized this and snorted coldly with understanding, but he remained defiant and continued to strike, swinging the Wolf Fang Club like a Sky-reaching Pillar, his blows seeming as though they would tear apart and collapse the entire Cangyu.

Rumbling—

The Red God Valley Master’s expression remained unchanged as the Red Divine Furnace fully awakened, with the virtual image of the Red Qilin almost manifesting in the mortal world, roaring shockingly.

With a flip of the lid, it instantly turned into a deep and boundless black hole, swallowing heaven and earth, thoroughly absorbing all the Saint Realm Divine Power into the tripod furnace, then with a turn, endless Crimson Divine Flames soared and engulfed, submerging Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the void burning and collapsing, Black Sky City below almost melting away in the conflagration, with countless people in terror.

This was the might of a Saint Master level, powerful enough to shatter the void in the Heavenly and Myriad of Realms, terrifyingly unparalleled.

Black Sky City still emanated a mighty force, resisting all of this, but Wang Shan’s entire body was blasted away, charred black as coal, his body at the forefront suffering severe burns, eventually landing in front of Ye Chen.

"You okay?"

Ye Chen asked with concern and took out a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, immeasurably precious, to administer to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan, though injured, had a flash in his eyes and laughed as he reached for it, "Thanks, brother."

Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, irresistible even to Saints.

But Chenn Ruo snatched it away, saying, "Don’t mind this guy, he has thick skin and won’t die. Giving him a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure would be a waste."

Master, that’s not how you do it," Wang Shan protested, but Chenn Ruo slapped him on the head, "Don’t pull that with me."

...

Wang Shan said nothing, curious as he observed his sister’s distinct care for the young man and her various disparagements towards him - just who was this person that even his revered sister was so concerned about? Could it be her lover?

Suddenly, he shivered at the thought - if that were true, it would be a major issue.

Is this the time for idle chatter?" At this moment, the Red God Valley Master’s hand reached towards them, aiming for both Ye Chen and Chenn Ruo, one who had slain their king, the other who had stolen the Soul Stabilizing Pearl, neither could be spared.

Wang Shan smiled bitterly, powerless, while Chenn Ruo muttered about the useless guy, then her delicate voice rang out to the skies, "Uncle Wang, are you really going to stand by and watch as your most adorable and innocent niece gets captured here?"

As her words fell, a laugh tinged with resignation rang out, "You little rascal, clearly you’re capable yourself... so be it."

Boom—

The entire world trembled as an immense, boundless hand reached out from the deepest depths, striking the Red God Valley Master’s palm and shattering it outright.

"Who dares?" the Red God Valley Master barked coldly.

A domineering snort exploded across the heavens, deafening, carrying the vast wildness of the Dao, overwhelmingly powerful, "Someone from Red God Valley dares to make a move within Black Sky City, courting death!"

A towering figure appeared, filled with an extremely wild aura, disturbing heaven and earth.

The Fourth Great Robber, Wang Ming!
