Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1073: The Red Emperor Gazes North

In addition, as the deep crimson core coalesces, the demon embodiment has also received an astonishing boost.

With a thought, Su Yuan triggered a surge of red light above the deep crimson core, and the demon soul appeared before him, its aura formidable yet ever-changing and unpredictable.

”How does it feel?” Su Yuan asked.

The demon soul grinned, ”Very good! Not only have I broken through the shackles into the king level, but I’ve also completely transformed into an advanced energy form!”

The demon soul itself is a body outside avatar based on the Demon Saber, and now that the power of the Demon Saber has concentrated in the deep crimson core, it naturally becomes the core of the demon soul.

With the core outside, the demon soul now has no weaknesses throughout its being!

Moreover, with the power of the Demon Saber, the demon soul now walks the ”Impermanence Dao” among the Three Thousand Great Paths!

Su Yuan nodded slightly, ”Then let me see your abilities!”

”Okay!”

The demon soul immediately turned into a flash of red light and entered Su Yuan’s body. With the synchronization of information, Su Yuan quickly mastered the abilities of the demon soul.

”This Impermanence Law is very powerful...”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

This seems to be some kind of advanced law combining transformation and copy.

However, now is not the time to scrutinize it closely.

After roughly understanding it, Su Yuan’s figure flickered and he had already exited the Qingming Realm.

Outside at the stronghold, He Zheng was waiting nearby.

”Royal Envoy Su!”

Seeing Su Yuan coming out, He Zheng immediately stepped forward to salute, his expression full of respect.

And soon, several envoys flew up from within the stronghold.

Among them was an acquaintance, none other than the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Pride—Xia Xuan, who possesses two kinds of divine fire.

Now, after the Earth Tribulation, Xia Xuan has also reached the Chongyang Realm!

”Royal Envoy Su!” everyone spoke up.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, then asked He Zheng, ”He Zheng, how are things in the Grey Realm now?”

He Zheng’s expression grew serious and he said to Su Yuan:

”According to the new intelligence received, the Imperial Throne has formulated new plans.

A short while ago, the Throne selected three directions as breakthroughs and launched an offensive...

Royal Envoy Su, these are the current progress.”

He Zheng took out a document and handed it to Su Yuan, continuing to explain:

”All three directions have breached the gates, defeating four Royal Courts.

At the same time, Qiguang has launched attacks, and their progress is not less than ours...”

Su Yuan nodded slightly, quickly reviewing the situation.

He Zheng said, ”The Throne previously sent a message asking about your situation, and upon learning that you were cultivating, instructed us not to disturb you.”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered as he recalled the message in the Black Card.

The Throne truly is considerate.

Su Yuan shook his head and, after reviewing the data, asked, ”Is there any other situation?”

”Additionally, Lord Red Emperor has also arrived!” He Zheng added.

”Oh? Is that so...”

Su Yuan’s eyes glinted with silver light, and he immediately used the Thousand-Mile Eye to gaze northward.

No wonder he had vaguely felt a powerful and burning aura over there earlier.

After a brief thought, Su Yuan said to He Zheng and the others, ”Stay here and continue to await orders.”

”Yes!”

They responded. Silver light flashed on Su Yuan’s body as he instantaneously teleported north.

Traveling swiftly, Su Yuan arrived at a certain seaside location.

In mid-air above the sea, an old figure clad in a wide simple robe, with hands clasped behind his back, gazed northward.

Compared to the boundless ocean, this figure seemed extremely small.

Yet this seemingly small figure felt weightier than the endless sea and the ocean’s countless waters!

”Red Emperor!”

Su Yuan approached, speaking respectfully.

Still looking north, the Red Emperor took a while before slowly turning around.

”Su Yuan...” a deep voice emitted from the Red Emperor’s mouth.

”Greetings, Red Emperor.” Su Yuan saluted again.

The Red Emperor’s gaze fell on Su Yuan, and the next moment, that hunched figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Yuan.

Su Yuan felt an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure surge towards him, as if he stood in a burning hell!

The searing and frightening pressure nearly made him unable to breathe!

”So strong!!”

A shocked tremor seized Su Yuan’s heart as he looked down, seeing below the Red Emperor’s wide robe a skinny and hunched body that seemed to contain unimaginable terror!

Unknowingly, beads of sweat had appeared on Su Yuan’s forehead.

”On the fire path... your talent is quite good.” The Red Emperor spoke softly.

Su Yuan immediately understood; the Red Emperor had sensed his rapid advancement in the Fire Law, surpassing even his cultivation progress in the Space Law.

Su Yuan opened his mouth slowly, but even speaking was difficult!

As the Red Emperor slightly raised his head, the terrifying pressure suddenly vanished.

Above the sea, the wind was light, the clouds serene, as though everything had been a mere illusion...

But Su Yuan knew all too well it wasn’t an illusion.

The Red Emperor was very strong... extremely strong!

Su Yuan silently took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, said:

”I managed to gain some treasures in the Grey Realm, and had some lucky breakthroughs.”

The Red Emperor looked at Su Yuan and slowly said, ”Even with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, how much and how quickly one can absorb it all depends on the individual.

In just this short time since moving north, to reach such a level, your talent on the fire path is not much less than Qingxiao’s.”

Su Yuan humbly replied, ”The Red Emperor overpraises.”

The Red Emperor said no more, turning to gaze out over the distant sea.

Seeing this, Su Yuan said no more.

”Go.”

After a long silence, the Red Emperor spoke.

Su Yuan looked in the direction the Red Emperor faced, knowing from He Zheng’s information that it was one of the breakthrough directions towards the East Continent.

Moreover, it was close to the direction of Qiguang...

”I shall leave immediately.”

With a bow, Su Yuan turned into a streak of silver light and shot ahead...

The Red Emperor’s gaze lingered on Su Yuan’s departing figure, before lifting slightly, his eyes burning fiercely.

Within the flame flickering eyes, the silhouettes of a man and a woman were reflected.

The man appeared valiant and tall, the woman sensuous and graceful.

These two, naturally not ordinary people if they could be caught in the Red Emperor’s gaze, were the two Emperor Level figures of the Hundred Battle Imperial Court!

Grey Realm, Hundred Battle Imperial Court.

High Level Royal Court—Huishuo Royal Court, closest to the East Continent.

The man and woman looked far across spaces at the Red Emperor with serious expressions.

”If this old man keeps staring, I really want to go meet him.” Lamia’s lips curled into a seductive yet cold smile.

”Lamia, you better not make any rash moves.” Beside her, Roland, with sharp eyes and steady demeanor, spoke in a fixed tone, ”He’s very dangerous.”

”Really? How dangerous? Haven’t several emperor levels from the Northern Continent either died, surrendered, or fled beneath us?”

Roland said, ”This person isn’t on the same level as those earlier ones, even if I... no, even together, we aren’t sure we can handle him.”

”Oh?” Lamia raised an eyebrow, then sneered, ”Even together we can’t handle him? Roland, those words don’t sound like you...”

Roland did not argue further but said, ”The Northern Continent is the weakest in this world, not only in personal strength but lacking any divine artifacts, naturally no match for us.

The other continents, and the Western Continent especially, are exceptionally mysterious, clearly present, yet we never find a way in.

And the East Continent, from the current situation, its foundation can’t compare to the North Continent.

As for the one ahead... it’s been a long time since I’ve met an opponent who made every cell in my body feel threatened!”

Upon hearing this, Lamia ”looked” across the sea at the Red Emperor, frowned, and said nothing more.
