Chapter 1266: Chapter 956: The Great Emperor Actually Exists in the Chaotic Star Sea!

The difference between a Quasi-Emperor and a Great Emperor is not trivial; a Great Emperor can easily handle countless Saints with a mere flip of their hand, but a Quasi-Emperor does not possess such strength.

If many Saints were to join forces, even a Quasi-Emperor could possibly fall.

In the eyes of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, the woman in the red dress before him only had two Saints by her side, and even if adding the Emperor of the Skyfire Clan, that would only make three Saints in total. Behind him stood at least thirty Saints; with so many Saints combined, they could exhaust the woman in the red dress to death.

However, Empress Tianhong remained indifferent to the words of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, simply hovering in the void, coldly watching the Immortal Boat of the Imperial Mountain Domain Star Region.

Seeing Empress Tianhong not uttering a word, the face of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor grew increasingly dark. He did not continue to speak either, and the atmosphere of the entire Star Domain became very oppressive as the two sides entered a standoff.

After an unknown period, Empress Tianhong finally turned to Lu Chen and said, “When do you plan to take action?”

Although Empress Tianhong’s voice was low, as a Quasi-Emperor, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor could hear her clearly. Seeing the presumed Quasi-Emperor actually asking the man next to her this question and moreover, asking him to take action, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor finally realized something.

Could it be that this woman in red is not the most powerful among them?

How is this possible?

The gaze of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor finally fell upon Lu Chen, and seeing Lu Chen and Mu Qinglan standing so close together, the expression on his face changed again and again.

In his heart, he had a guess, but he hoped his guess was not correct.

In the end, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor still directly asked, “Mu Qinglan, what is your relationship with this man?”

In response to this question, Mu Qinglan did not hesitate at all and directly said, “I am his maid.”

Maid?

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor knew all too well what responsibilities maids had in this era, let alone a beautiful maid like Mu Qinglan. He feared that Mu Qinglan might have already given herself to this man countless times.

Thinking of this, a fury blazed within the heart of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor. The woman he coveted, whom he had never even touched, was planning to be courted by him after breaking through to become a Great Emperor, yet she had already become someone else’s maid.

In a fit of rage, a gigantic human-shaped Law Manifestation suddenly appeared behind the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, multiplying his imposing presence by dozens of times, and this oppressive force was heading straight for Lu Chen.

Whether it was for the Great Emperor’s Tomb or because of Mu Qinglan, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor now wanted to kill this pretty-faced man in front of him as soon as possible.

Feeling the danger, Lu Chen no longer hesitated. As much as he was reluctant to use it, an Emperor Summoning Card still had to be employed in this situation.

The next moment, Lu Chen took out an Emperor Summoning Card from the System Space. The moment the Emperor Summoning Card appeared, a vast and overwhelming pressure instantly descended upon the Chaotic Star Sea.

No sooner had this pressure alighted than the Law Manifestation behind the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was directly crushed by it, and those Saints from the Imperial Mountain Domain were one by one pressed to the point of coughing up blood, while some Cultivators with lower Cultivation States within the Imperial Mountain Domain were directly crushed to death by this overwhelming force.

Feeling this vast pressure, the face of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor drastically changed. How could he not understand what this pressure signified?

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor did not hesitate and immediately shattered the void, attempting to flee the Chaotic Star Sea.

However, just as he smashed the void before him, suddenly, an inexplicable force repaired the spatial vortex he had blasted open right before his eyes.

The entire being of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was stunned.

How could this be!

There actually exists a Great Emperor in the Chaotic Star Sea!

Why would there be a Great Emperor!

Could all this be just a trap?

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was filled with immense regret, regretting his decision to come here upon hearing news of the Great Emperor’s Tomb.

At this moment, a man clad in golden armor suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chen, directly kneeling to pay homage, “Greetings, my Lord!”

Seeing the formidable man addressing Lu Chen as the Lord, the Cultivators from the Imperial Mountain Domain were utterly dumbfounded. How could a Great Emperor address this young man as his Lord?

How… How is this possible?

The identity of this young man can only be imagined!

He must certainly be an Imperial Son from an Empire!

Thinking that they had offended the Imperial Son of an Empire, the Cultivators present were breaking out in cold sweats, especially the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor.

All the Saint-level Cultivators present had secondary bodies; even if they died, their primary bodies would merely drop in Cultivation State, which could be restored with some time of cultivation, but not him.

As a Quasi-Emperor on the verge of proving the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor, he had already merged all his secondary bodies, meaning if he were to die here, he would truly be dead.

Without any hesitation, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor directly addressed Lu Chen: “Young master, I was blind and disrespectful to you. If you let me go, I will do whatever you ask of me in the future!”

For the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, dignity was of no importance. He was on the brink of becoming an Emperor and he certainly did not wish to die here.

However, Lu Chen did not immediately respond. He watched the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor in the distance quietly, as if pondering something.

Even though the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was a Quasi-Emperor, and Lu Chen currently had an Emperor Summoning Card, the card’s duration was only two hours, and with each use, there would be one fewer card. If he could subjugate a Quasi-Emperor…

Having such a Quasi-Emperor as an enforcer would surely elevate the strength of the Daxia Dynasty a step further. What would an Empire be if it did not have a Quasi-Emperor within its ranks?

But Lu Chen was somewhat unsettled by the thought of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor’s continual interest in Mu Qinglan.

Mu Qinglan was his woman, and no man would wish for his woman to constantly be on the mind of other men. Lu Chen reasoned that given the beauty of his woman, there must certainly be many men thinking of her, even if they did not voice it.

If he were to get jealous every time another man thought of his woman, he would likely end up with an endless amount of jealousy to contend with.

Lu Chen then addressed the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor and the others, “Hand over your Lifeblood Essence, and you may live!”

Upon hearing this, those present were momentarily stupefied. If they were to really hand over their Lifeblood Essence, their life and death would likely be in the hands of this man before them.

Especially for the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, he was very reluctant. He was about to become a Great Emperor and bask in endless glory, how could he hand over his Lifeblood Essence and become a servant to someone else?

But the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor quickly realized something. Right, he would be proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor in no more than five thousand years. Once he became an Emperor, his life would only be influenced by his Divine Soul, and even if this person obtained his Lifeblood Essence, he could not control an Emperor.

He just needed to endure for a few thousand years more.

With this thought, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor directly handed over his Lifeblood Essence, “This is your servant’s Lifeblood Essence, thank you for sparing my life, master!”

Lu Chen immediately collected the Lifeblood Essence of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor and then turned his gaze towards the other Cultivators present.
