Xu Taiping had originally hoped to encounter a Primordial Lord-level powerhouse in the Land of Myriad Tribulations, or, failing that, at least a primordial-stage Demon Emperor like the Northern Emperor.

Rumble...!
Amid rolling thunder, the fourth-vein Demon Emperor who looked like a young man suddenly shouted,
**"Xu Taiping! I hear your fist technique is good. Then
