A Single Palm Sent Him Flying, Black Emperor Fell Unconscious
The paw holding the pill trembled. "Sect Master, are you saying that eating it might... cause it to explode!"
"Yes, that's possible, so we need to find someone to try it out."
"Um... this... sect leader, actually my inheritance as the Fierce Heaven Demon Immortal Deity is not very suitable for absorbing pills."
"My eldest brother, Little White, inherited the legacy of the Devouring Heaven Demon Immortal Deity, which allows him to devour all things."
At this point, the Black Emperor puffed out his chest and continued with righteous indignation, "Let my eldest brother have this good stuff. As its second brother, I have to think of my eldest brother in everything. I absolutely cannot keep it all to myself."
"How about... we split it in half?"
Did the sect leader know I was slacking off? Is that why he specifically called me over to test the medicine?
Yes, that must be it!
I made a vow with my elder brother: we don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year!
"Don't overthink it, just swallow what I tell you to swallow."
"The energy contained in this pill is extremely large. If you can successfully refine it, your cultivation will definitely increase dramatically. This sect is also thinking of you."
"Besides, with the sect itself protecting you, what are you afraid of?"
Feng Qingyang's words deeply moved the Black Emperor.
So it turns out the sect leader was thinking of me, and I even misunderstood the sect leader's good intentions. I deserve to die!
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the sect leader personally protected him is an honor that no one else in the entire Immortal Realm could receive. Even Brother Little White should take a backseat.
The Black Emperor's gaze toward the pill in his hand grew increasingly resolute.
Let's go, brothers!
It opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the small blood pill whole, then waited anxiously in place.
Feng Qingyang, who was guarding the side, was also on high alert, ready to run... no, to make a move at any moment should anything happen.
One breath...
Two breaths...
Three breaths...
Three breaths passed without any change, and the Black Emperor opened his eyes in confusion. "Sect Master, this... Holy crap!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Black Emperor was so shocked that he jumped ten feet high!
He then fell to the ground and rolled around, his Xiao Hei contorted in pain!
"Hmm? How are you feeling, Black Emperor?"
Feng Qingyang quickly stepped forward to check. Running away was out of the question; he had to ensure the safety of the Black Emperor, as it was his responsibility as the head of a sect.
Moreover, the Black Emperor came here to test the drug on himself, so no accidents can be allowed to happen!
The Black Emperor was still howling in agony. "Sect Master... it hurts! It hurts so much! I feel that immense energy exploding inside my body! It's like it's scorching my body and soul, ah!"
"Stay calm and don't panic."
"This sect will circulate its energy for you. Concentrate your mind and slowly circulate the energy."
Feng Qingyang grabbed the Black Emperor, who was rolling around on the ground, and pointed a finger at its forehead. Immediately, a continuous stream of Chaos Divine Power flowed into the Black Emperor's body.
The divine power he channeled was of unparalleled purity, capable of protecting the Black Emperor's meridians and internal organs.
No matter what, the priority is to save the Black Emperor's life.
Even so, the Black Emperor was still in immense pain.
It felt dizzy and its stomach was so full it was uncomfortable; it felt like its body was about to explode.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from the Black Emperor's body, causing Feng Qingyang to stagger back several steps.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Then the Black Emperor stood up and roared a few times.
Its body continued to grow larger with its roars until it revealed its true form as Ferocious Beasts!
However, its appearance has undergone a dramatic change. The single horn on its head has split into two horns, which are now sharper, straighter, and exude a ferocious aura!
Its skin changed from dark black to a bright red, like a ferocious creature that had just crawled out of an endless hell!
Its body was covered in sharp, barbs that were all bent and crossed together, like armor, firmly covering its body.
Its eyes were like red stars, and its gaping maw was like a black hole, making it extremely terrifying!
"Black Emperor, how are you feeling now?"
Feng Qingyang frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong with the Black Emperor's current condition.
Fortunately, he survived and didn't explode directly.
"Roar!"
The Black Emperor's massive body rose from the ground and hovered in the void. It roared at Feng Qingyang, its blood-red eyes filled with icy coldness.
"Hmph! Who dares to act presumptuously in my sect!"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the void of the main area, the powerful figures stationed within the sect all flew over.
The first to arrive were Zhao Fanchen, the Wine Sword Immortal with a wine gourd in hand, and Fu Changhong, the Human Emperor Banner's Banner in hand.
Behind them, numerous high-ranking elders from the Elder Division were arriving in droves.
"Stop! This is the Black Emperor!"
Just as they were about to launch an attack to encircle and annihilate the colossal creature in the void, Feng Qingyang sternly stopped them.
If it had been a second later, the Black Emperor would have been gone. Even though it's now unleashing an aura several times stronger than its original power, it still couldn't withstand being ganged up on by so many powerful figures.
"Yes, Master."
All the elders who had arrived put away their weapons and respectfully came to stand behind Feng Qingyang.
"Sect Master, you said this is the Black Emperor? How did it become like this?"
Fu Changhong rubbed his eyes and looked again.
He thought this was some arrogant fool who had just wandered in from somewhere, and was about to grab it and refine it in an instant when the sect leader stopped him.
"It is it. I gave it a pill."
Just as Feng Qingyang was speaking, the Black Emperor in the void suddenly attacked in the direction where Feng Qingyang was.
"Hey! Sect Master, be careful!" The elders behind him all warned in unison.
They then attempted to leap forward again, but were interrupted by Feng Qingyang raising his hand.
Facing the charging Black Emperor Feng Qingyang, he stood still and unmoved.
Just as the Black Emperor's terrifying, gaping maw was about to swallow him whole, Feng Qingyang raised his hand and slapped him away.
"Smack!"
With a simple and straightforward slap, the enormous Black Emperor was sent flying!
Boom!
It only stopped after smashing to pieces a magnificent palace in the main area.
"Sect Master! Awesome!"
Upon seeing this, the elders behind him all widened their eyes and gave a thumbs up.
"Don't just stand there, go and take a look."
After putting his hand down, Feng Qingyang said calmly, "I have to say that the Black Emperor's evolved protective barbs are really tough."
Fortunately, I used one-third of my cultivation power, otherwise it would have been awkward.
Upon hearing this, the elders rushed forward to check, and to their surprise, they found that the Black Emperor had returned to his usual appearance and size, lying straight on the ground with his eyes closed.
"Black Emperor, Black Emperor!" The Wine Sword Immortal poked the Black Emperor with the scabbard in his hand.
I called it a few times but it didn't respond. Could it be cold?
The Wine Sword Immortal quickly circulated his cultivation to examine the Black Emperor's body.
He's not dead yet; he's still alive.
"Sect Master, the Black Emperor should have fallen into a coma."
"Although the energy within its body is still enormous, it has stabilized and is being continuously absorbed by it."
"It is estimated that he will wake up after absorbing all the energy, at which time the Black Emperor's cultivation will increase significantly."
