"Dong Yong once helped us escape from the disaster, and I promised to protect his family. Now his wife has been forcibly taken back to Heavenly Court."
"This is not only a breach of trust, but also a slap in the face in public."
Although Footprint Emperor, Black Emperor and others did not know the inside story, they were aware of the seriousness of the situation and responded one after another.
Su Yang turned to look at Ruthless Great Emperor and said in a low voice, "You stay, you don't have to follow me to the dragon's pond and tiger's den."
As he spoke, he took out a golden fruit from his arms and held it out gently.
That is Ruthless Great Emperor's last missing source fruit, the one that belongs to little Nannan.
If it can be fused, her origin will be completely perfected and her combat power will increase by leaps and bounds.
By then, reaching the realm of Peak Immortal Emperor will not be out of reach.
Going one step further, there is even a chance of touching the Daoist Sect threshold. Once successful, there will be no existence in Primordial World that can control her.
Even if Heavenly Dao Sage comes in person, you can only look at his back.
Ruthless Great Emperor stared at the Dao Fruit, frowning slightly. "Do you think I am too weak to even protect myself?"
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the inn suddenly became tense.
Duan De was about to open his mouth to smooth things over, but Footprint Emperor grabbed his arm and the three of them quickly exited the door.
Willow Deity gently pulled Ji Ziyue's hand and left quietly with Xiao Jiu.
The Corpse Immortal Emperor hidden behind Su Yang disappears likewise, but as long as the owner gives an order, Emperor Bone Brother will appear again.
When there were only two people left in the room, Su Yang looked directly into the eyes of the woman in front of him with a serious expression. "I have never thought of it this way."
"I just don't want to see you in danger."
"You are mine now. I can't let you take risks in everything."
"I just hope you can stay away from danger. You misunderstood what I meant."
After Su Yang finished speaking, Ruthless Great Emperor nodded gently, his voice calm but with an edge that could not be ignored. "I understand your thoughts, but don't forget who I am."
These words passed through my ears like wind, but Su Yang was shocked and kept silent for a long time.
It is true that she is his wife, but she is also the Empress who has dominated the ages and whose talents and talents are unrivaled in the history of the human race.
The name Ruthless Great Emperor is not only an identity, but also a legend. Her wisdom, combat power, and talent are all the top existences in the world. In the heart of Su Yang, even Empress Nuwa in the Primordial World era can hardly match her in spirituality and talent.
With such a person standing in the world, what disaster can really hurt her at all?
Unless Saint comes in person, who can make her regress?
She has long been among the strongest in Primordial World. Instead of worrying about her safety, it is better to face the reality that she is still at the peak of Immortal King.
The distance between him and her still needs time and strength to fill.
"I understand."
Su Yang exhaled a breath and looked at her firmly. "Let's go together. But promise me, you must be careful. There are countless quasi-sages among Heavenly Court, and there are countless powerful ones."
"I still need your protection now, but please believe"
"Soon, it will be me who will protect you and kill all enemies for you."
Ruthless Great Emperor The corners of the lips are slightly raised, and the smile is like the first melting of the glacier, with a gentleness in the coldness.
She stepped closer and finally leaned into his arms, her hair brushing against his chest.
The familiar fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. Su Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and the fire in his heart burned again.
His desire for power has never been as intense as it is at this moment.
Outside the inn, when Emperor Bone Brother appeared, Footprint Emperor and others all looked at him sideways.
Everyone gathered around, their eyes wandering over his skeletal body.
Footprint Emperor exclaimed, "It is clear that there are only withered bones left, but it exudes the pressure of the Immortal Emperor. This kind of existence is really rare."
"I really don't know when I can take that step."
Willow Deity said calmly, "You have reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. If you are willing to practice diligently, the door to the Immortal Emperor may not be out of reach."
"It's not that simple."
Footprint Emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "From true immortal to quasi-Immortal King, it's quite smooth; but going up again, every step is like climbing into the sky."
"The threshold from the quasi-Immortal King to the Immortal Emperor is actually not too difficult and dangerous. You should know that once certain races reach adulthood, they will naturally possess the power of the Immortal King level."
After Footprint Emperor finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Xiao Jiu and said, "Like the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass family, every adult is a Immortal King, and some can even become Immortal King giants."
Xiao Jiu remained silent, Willow Deity nodded lightly.
After a while, Footprint Emperor's voice became a little deeper. "But from the giant Immortal King to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it is as difficult as a natural chasm."
"You have already sensed this in your hearts."
"During the Emperor's Fall, I once broke into Sea of Worlds alone to pursue the traces of the dark origin, but in the end I was killed by the cooperation of Azure Emperor, Emperor Hong, Feather Emperor and World-Ending Elder."
"Since that day's death, many years have passed. Have you ever heard of anyone else ascending to the throne?"
Everyone shook their heads in silence. Just as he said, since the disappearance of Footprint Emperor, there has been an eternity of loneliness, and no one has claimed the title of emperor.
The "emperor" they talk about is not an ordinary Great Emperor status, but a real immortal emperor who transcends the heavens and controls all ways.
Since the fall of the emperor, I don't know how many eras have changed, maybe several, maybe dozens of reincarnations of heaven and earth, but no emperor has ever been born in the world.
Because of this, everyone understands that there is an insurmountable barrier between the giant Immortal King and Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to take that step.
It is precisely because of this that everyone has become more aware of how stunning Footprint Emperor was back then.
He had already achieved the Quasi-Immortal Emperor fruition status in that era, and entered the Sea of Worlds on his own, intending to cut off the source of darkness.
It's an honor to lose. After all, for most people, Sea of Worlds can't even get even half a step closer.
But he walked all the way to the end and saw Azure Emperor, Emperor Hong, Feather Emperor and that World-Ending Elder with his own eyes.
If he had bowed his head and succumbed and conspired with them, he might not have ended up in physical and mental destruction.
Only because he stuck to his true heart and was unwilling to join in the other side, he finally fell on the other side of Sea of Worlds.
Everyone sighed, Quasi-Immortal Emperor is already so unattainable, so how far away is the true realm of the Immortal Emperor?
At this time, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the broken corpse.
Footprint Emperor stared for a long time and said in a solemn tone, "If my prediction is correct, this person is most likely to be the first person to truly achieve the status of Immortal Emperor since World Creation, our world."
"The first one to truly touch the ultimate realm of life."
Duan De and Black Emperor frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "But since they have become Immortal Emperors, why did they fall here and become such a wreck?"
"Yes, you are already at the top, how could you end up like this?"
Everyone looked puzzled, Footprint Emperor sighed, shook his head slightly, and then said, "Perhaps only your Majesty knows these secrets. As for Corpse Immortal Emperor, I don't know much more than you do."
"But one thing is certain. Your Majesty once mentioned 'Above the Heavens'. If there is no mistake, Corpse Immortal Emperor is most likely related to this."
After the words fell, Willow Deity and Xiao Jiu were silent, their expressions solemn, as if they were caught in some distant memory.
The four words "Above the Heavens" seem to be of great importance.
The silent postures of the three people confused Duan De, Black Emperor and Ji Ziyue.
They are not from the same era.
