Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 168 Immortal Emperor Peak, Dragon Branch Grasper

```

Flying over the grasslands, leaping over the mountains, they grew ever closer to the time point when the Divine Shadow Legion had disappeared.

Everyone's nerves were taut, fearing that Nameless Imperial Ancestor would give chase.

Su Yie, through the divine shadows of Overlord Luo Fu and the Empress of the Great Zhou, had witnessed Nameless Imperial Ancestor. This wretch was indeed following behind them.

The moment he saw the two divine shadows, he vanished.

But soon, he reappeared. Clearly, he was wary of the Divine Shadow Legion, but if there were only two divine shadows, he was not afraid.

The great battle erupted swiftly.

Overlord Luo Fu, being one of the Five Emperors of the Demon Race and the Empress of the Great Zhou, being the sovereign of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty, had initially suppressed Nameless Imperial Ancestor.

With Nameless Imperial Ancestor held back, the chances of Su Yie and the others escaping increased.

Under the lead of Li Huahun, they flew madly onward.

"Where exactly are we going?"

Fang Tian Divine Fist couldn't help but ask. Without a clear explanation from Li Huahun, he felt uncertain.

Apart from Su Yie and Ren Wokuang, the other three did not fully trust Li Huahun.

"Immortal Scorching Ridge."

Li Huahun, speaking sparingly, uttered a name that moved everyone.

Han Yuandao cried out in shock, "Isn't that one of the Eight Great Desolation of the Eastern Lands? Once you go in, you can never come back out!"

The expression on Fang Tian Divine Fist's face was also grim, as he said through clenched teeth, "We might as well go back and fight it out with Nameless Imperial Ancestor while the Divine Shadow Legion is still around!"

"No! Nameless Imperial Ancestor is too cunning; whenever the Divine Shadow Legion draws near, he will retreat."

Su Yie said gravely. It was his first encounter with such a cunning enemy.

Under normal circumstances, who would be so despicable at the level Nameless Imperial Ancestor had reached?

Thinking this, Su Yie mentally commanded the Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao to turn back and attack.

The Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao, having previously defeated Nameless Imperial Ancestor's doppelganger in seconds, was, in Su Yie's view, the strongest member within Emperor Su's Sect!

Therefore, he harbored a glimmer of hope.

The group continued to follow Li Huahun onward.

The Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao was incredibly fast, and soon reached the location of the Empress of the Great Zhou and Overlord Luo Fu. Nameless Imperial Ancestor remembered the Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao, and upon seeing it, immediately transformed into countless afterimages that fled in different directions at an astonishing speed.

The Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao was only a divine shadow, not a real person, and could not distinguish Nameless Imperial Ancestor's true body, so it had to give up.

The half-hour limit was rapidly approaching.

The sense of crisis among the group soared.

However, Nameless Imperial Ancestor definitely wouldn't dare to give chase in the short term; he could only follow from a distance.

"How much farther?"

Su Yie asked Li Huahun. He had just reviewed the list of invitees in his mind, and this time, Lady Luck was not on his side—the list did not include Nameless Imperial Ancestor.

"At most half a day."

Li Huahun's voice was heavy. As he and the Piercing Arm Monkey were the strongest, the group's flight relied entirely on their spiritual and demonic power to maintain their highest speed.

Half a day!

Su Yie's heart sank.

Ren Wokuang began to seek help within Emperor Su's Sect.

Ren Wokuang: Sect Leader! Can I still use the Divine Shadow Legion? I can exchange resources!

Empress of the Great Zhou: I thought so.

Venerable Xuanyuan: The doppelganger divine skills of Nameless Imperial Ancestor are formidable. It's difficult to kill him, and moreover, this man holds a grudge.

Wux Qingyao: How is Su Yie? Is he all right?

Emperor Su: Do you really think I'm your enforcer? The Divine Shadow Legion can only be used once a month at most, crossing the All Heavens Universe comes at a price. However, I can offer a bounty; anyone willing to support them will accumulate a chance for the Divine Shadow Legion's assistance.

Overlord Luo Fu: Offending the Divine Physique Hall is not a good thing, I don't want to wade into troubled waters.

...

```

Facing the Divine Physique Hall, apart from Xia Tianyi and Wuu You who were willing to participate, the others either refused or remained silent.

Not every member of the Emperor Su's Sect had a good relationship with Su Yie; it wasn't worth offending the Divine Physique Hall, this mad dog, for a chance with the Divine Shadow Legion.

Wux Qingyao actually wanted to help, but given her cultivation, it would be good enough if she could reach the Land of the Imperial Lineage.

"It is said that within the Immortal Scorching Ridge, there lies the Immortal Emperor Peak. The Immortal Emperor Peak, existing for countless years, once nurtured an Immortal Emperor; it's rumored that there is the Longevity Fruit on top of the Immortal Emperor Peak, and it's guarded by the Ancient Golden Crow, true or false."

Han Yuandao suddenly spoke up, trying to relax everyone a bit.

Such a tense state wasn't good.

Before the Nameless Imperial Ancestor could come to kill them, they could scare themselves to death first.

"Immortal Emperor Peak?"

Su Yie was stunned and couldn't help but think back to the map given to him by Xiahou Jinxuan; the name Immortal Scorching Ridge did seem to be around the area of the Immortal Emperor Peak.

Fang Tian Divine Fist nodded and said, "The Longevity Fruit is probably fabricated, but the Dragon Branch should exist. Great Xia Ancestor once entered the Immortal Emperor Peak by chance, obtained a section of Dragon Branch, and became invincible in the world; establishing the everlasting Great Zhou Holy Dynasty.

Even now, that segment of Dragon Branch is still the most precious treasure of Great Xia."

Dragon Branch!

Su Yie immediately became very interested and asked curiously, "What is the Dragon Branch?"

"An Ancient Marvel Wood that is impervious to all methods and indestructible by all laws."

Fang Tian Divine Fist replied, his face showing longing as he said, "If one could integrate the Dragon Branch into their body, transform their flesh into the Dragon Branch, surpassing even the Emperor's body might be possible."

His words made Su Yie even more interested in the Dragon Branch.

"There indeed is an Immortal Emperor Peak within the Immortal Scorching Ridge. I've been there before, but it's very dangerous. I advise you not to set your sights on the Immortal Emperor Peak."

Li Huahun snorted coldly; his warning couldn't suppress everyone's fantasies.

The Nameless Imperial Ancestor temporarily wouldn't be able to catch up; Su Yie planned to first hide in the Immortal Scorching Ridge for a month, then kill his way back.

Immediately, Su Yie turned his attention to the list of invitations in his mind.

Now, he realized he could switch between the chat page of the Emperor Su's Sect and the list of invites, no longer needing to choose the people before starting the chat like before.

However, that was of little use, he couldn't inquire about certain powerful beings within Emperor Su's Sect; that would be unbecoming of his identity as Emperor Su.

Please invite any two of the following creatures to join Emperor Su's Sect!

Lu Nitian!

Mo Jiuqing!

Mu Rong Invincible!

Tai Su Sword Lord!

Shi Cang!

Gui Chouxie!

...

A total of fifty names, many of which had appeared repeatedly; Su Yie fell into deep thought.

Let's not mention Lu Nitian.

Mu Rong Invincible, the head of the Great Zhou's prominent Mu Rong Family, commands tremendous respect in the cultivation world, possesses thousands of Immortal Laws, and is well known throughout the Eastern Lands.

It is said that Mu Rong Invincible has the qualifications to become an immortal; 5,000 years ago, he was the top Heavenly Pride of the Great Zhou and once dominated the Heavenly Ranking List.

Shi Cang, a Holy Monk from the Buddhism Sect, walks the world to enlighten sentient beings, highly revered, with high cultivation as well.

Gui Chouxie, a Ghost Spectral Cultivator who has only recently made it onto the Worldly Renowned Register, is said to be a reincarnation of a Divine Ghost, who, after three years of rebirth, can wash away his Karmic Force and become an immortal.

Beyond that, there were many others with far-reaching fame.

There were Demon Kings, Demon Cultivators, as well as powerful beings from the Human Clan.

Su Yie frowned; whom should he choose?

Just then, a powerful murderous aura suddenly came from behind, piercing towards everyone's backs like sharp needles.

"Escape? Who can save you this time?"

The cold, cruel laughter of the Nameless Imperial Ancestor came through, as if wanting to shred Su Yie and the others into pieces.

Everyone's faces changed drastically.

Li Huahun said sternly, "You go first! I'll stay to hold him off! Ren Wokuang, you must take Su Yie to the Immortal Scorching Ridge, or I will make sure you die!"
