Chapter 2525

Chapter 3198: Since When Do I Need You to Teach Me What to Do?

Most of the vines were severed. After unleashing just a single strike, the phantom of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor vanished.

Lin Moyu saw that Clan Leader Su Mou and the others were pale; it was clear that this single strike had put considerable pressure on them, even though it only had the power of one blow.

But it was enough. The power of this strike was too immense, nearly exceeding the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

Currently on the Origin Continent, only Great Dao Realm experts like the Three Ancestors and the Demon Emperor could block it.

Master Kurong's true body could, but his clone could not. The Demon Emperor's clone had arrived.

Master Kurong flew up once more, attempting to flee, but Lin Moyu gave him no opportunity. Luck Explosion Technique!

Explode!

Having fled less than a hundred miles, Master Kurong's clone suddenly exploded from within.

Amidst the terrifying explosion, he plummeted from the sky. Whether it was Master Kurong's clone or his true body…

…his luck had been drastically weakened, to less than ten percent of its original level. In this state,

Lin Moyu's use of the Luck Explosion Technique was incredibly powerful. This strike…

…nearly shattered Master Kurong's clone on the spot. However, it was a clone refined by a Great Dao Realm expert after all, and a plant-type creature at that.

His vitality was extremely resilient; the Luck Explosion Technique failed to kill him, only compounding his injuries.

Plant-type Dao Venerables were difficult to kill. Lin Moyu understood this well. Clan Leader Su Mou and the others surrounded him once more.

Since Lin Moyu said not to let him escape, they would do their best to trap him. Master Kurong's clone roared, "You Celestial Fox Clan are courting death!"

He unleashed countless vines again, whipping madly at the surrounding world, turning everything within a radius of hundreds of miles into his attack zone.

Whipping as he went, Master Kurong fled rapidly. He could not afford to linger any longer.

If he stayed entangled, he would die; he couldn't even get close.

Lin Moyu shook his head slightly. "It's too late. You can't escape."

Delayed successively by the phantom of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor and the Luck Explosion Technique, Master Kurong was now out of time. The Demon Emperor's clone arrived.

A mass of mist spread out, transforming into a giant hand that slapped down from the sky, snapping the vines.

The giant hand smashed Master Kurong's clone directly into the ground, causing the earth to rumble like an earthquake.

Giant fissures split open, forming an underground canyon. "The Celestial Fox Clan are this Emperor's subordinates."

"Try touching them if you dare!"

The Demon Emperor's clone appeared in the sky, his entire body shrouded in mist.

His true appearance was hidden. Lin Moyu judged that the cultivation realm of the Demon Emperor's clone was similar to that of Master Kurong's clone.

Both were at the peak of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, but in terms of combat power, the Demon Emperor's clone should surpass Master Kurong's clone.

Just as the Demon Emperor's true body also surpassed Master Kurong's true body. The Demon Emperor's clone had finally arrived.

Master Kurong finally despaired. "Demon Emperor, do you really want to stop me?"

The Demon Emperor snorted coldly. "I do not care what else you do."

"But I will not allow you to kill Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Master Kurong immediately said,

"Fine, I was wrong this time. I promise you."

"I will not enter the Northern Continent again." The Demon Emperor shook his head. "This Emperor has said before,"

"I do not care whether you enter the Northern Continent or not. But since you have entered,"

"you must pay a price. This clone of yours is quite well-refined. Since you are here, leave it behind!"

The Demon Emperor struck out with his palm again. Master Kurong's clone roared as sharp spikes sprouted all over his body.

He turned into a hedgehog, and the spikes shot upward, colliding with the Demon Emperor's palm.

Boom!

With a crisp sound, the Demon Emperor's palm was actually pierced through.

Master Kurong roared, "Since you refuse to let me go, let's die together!"

"Don't even think about keeping this clone of yours!"

The Demon Emperor sneered. "If your true body had come in person,"

"this Emperor's clone indeed might not survive. But you are merely a clone now. What right do you have to say such words!"

With a furious shout, the Demon Emperor punched out fiercely, and a massive iron fist appeared between heaven and earth.

It smashed Master Kurong back once more. The spikes on Master Kurong's body were shattered, and he crashed onto the ground again.

The Demon Emperor threw punch after punch, delivering hundreds of strikes in an instant, completely shattering the earth.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the ground collapsed, turning into a vast basin.

Master Kurong lay in the basin. He was not dead; he was still alive.

The vitality of plant-type creatures was indeed terrifyingly immense. Trying to kill him within the same realm…

…was simply too difficult. Master Kurong laughed wildly, though his laughter carried a hint of weakness.

"Don't forget, our strengths are equal. If your clone wants to kill this Master,"

"it's still not quite enough!"

He extended countless spikes again, this time driving them deep into the earth.

Instantly, the Power of Origin surged wildly as he drew power from the earth. The power of the earth was endless.

His injuries were healing at an astonishing speed. At this moment, Master Kurong seemed to have given up on fleeing.

He probably knew he couldn't escape even if he wanted to, so he simply stayed, refusing to budge.

He absorbed the power of the earth, acting like a dead pig that didn't fear boiling water. The Demon Emperor sneered with disdain.

"Do you think only this Emperor's clone came?"

A mass of mist approached from afar, arriving at an astonishing speed.

It instantly fused with the clone. A terrifying pressure surged through heaven and earth. Even though the Demon Emperor could only exert thirty percent of his power on the Origin Continent,

that was still thirty percent of the Great Dao Realm, far exceeding the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. Master Kurong was filled with disbelief.

"For a mere human brat, your true body actually took action! Do you know what you are doing?!"

The Demon Emperor sneered, "Since when does this Emperor need you to teach him what to do?"

"It seems the lesson I gave you last time wasn't enough."

"Perhaps this Emperor needs to make another trip to the Western Continent." Master Kurong remained stubborn. "If you dare come to the Western Continent again,"

"this Master will surely make you pay the price!"

The Demon Emperor laughed. "Then let us see what kind of price you can make me pay."

"At least for today, this clone of yours is finished!"

The mist surged.

A terrifying fist appeared between heaven and earth. Although this fist was not enhanced by any Great Dao power, anyone who glanced at it…

…would feel an unspeakable dread. This single punch seemed capable of shattering the entire Northern Continent.

Lin Moyu felt that the power of this punch had completely exceeded the limit of the Dao Venerable Realm, entering the domain of the Great Dao Realm.

However, it was likely only the weakest punch of the Great Dao Realm, since the Demon Emperor could only exert thirty percent of his combat power here. Everyone's attention was drawn to this punch.

This punch seemed to contain supreme power, the ultimate goal pursued by all in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. At this moment, a suction force generated from Lin Moyu's palm.

He drew in and collected some of the shattered vines from Master Kurong's clone. Master Kurong's voice was filled with despair and anger.

"Fine, Demon Emperor! Since you are being so ruthless,"

"this Master will surely make you understand the meaning of regret!"

The Demon Emperor laughed wildly.

"This Emperor would like to see how you intend to make me regret." The fist descended slowly.

Its speed was very slow, but Master Kurong knew all too well that he had nowhere to run.

While the fist was still a thousand meters in the air, its terrifying force had already caused the earth to shatter once more. Master Kurong did not run.

He knew he couldn't escape at all. The fist descended with extreme slowness onto Master Kurong's clone, and his thorny body crumbled to pieces beneath it.

Under this single punch, Master Kurong's clone died on the spot. Just how difficult Master Kurong's clone was to kill…

…everyone present knew very well, yet it could not withstand a casual punch from the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor's immense power was plain to see.

After slaying Master Kurong's clone with a single punch, the fist vanished instantly, without causing any impact on the earth.

From this, it was evident to what extent the Demon Emperor's control over his power had reached.

Clan Leader Su Mou and the others knelt to the Demon Emperor. "Greetings, Your Majesty." The Demon Emperor gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

"You have done well this time. Dismissed. This Emperor wishes to speak with Fellow Daoist Lin alone."

Clan Leader Su Mou immediately rose and took his leave. The Demon Emperor's command was absolute; they dared not hesitate for a second.

After this battle, Lin Moyu's standing in Clan Leader Su Mou's heart grew even heavier. Not only did the Demon Emperor address Lin Moyu as "Fellow Daoist,"

but he had also slain Master Kurong's clone for Lin Moyu's sake. Clan Leader Su Mou knew of Master Kurong's identity.

He was the master of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, an existence on the same level as the Demon Emperor. Who would have thought…

…that for Lin Moyu's sake, the Demon Emperor would show him absolutely no face. It was clear…

…just how much weight Lin Moyu held in the Demon Emperor's heart.

Chapter 3199: Where Did They Come From?

The earth was shattered.

Mountains had collapsed during the great battle, and tens of thousands of miles around had been reduced to ruins, no longer possessing the green hills and clear waters of the past.

This was the first time such an event had occurred outside Nine-Tailed City. For countless years, the vicinity of Nine-Tailed City had never experienced such a great battle.

But it did not matter. Afterward, the members of the Celestial Fox Clan would come to restore it. It wouldn't be long before this land was restored to its original state.

At most, there would just be a few less mountains. Lin Moyu walked up to the Demon Emperor. "Thank you for your assistance, Your Majesty."

The Demon Emperor's voice carried majesty, yet was also somewhat gentle. "Even if this Emperor did not come,"

"Fellow Daoist Lin should have been fine." Lin Moyu shook his head. "If Your Majesty had not come, he certainly wouldn't have fled."

"In the end, he might have taken root in Nine-Tailed City, and we would have had no way to deal with him." The Demon Emperor nodded. "That is indeed true."

"With his final technique, ordinary cultivators in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable would find it very difficult to kill him."

Lin Moyu said, "Therefore, I truly must thank Your Majesty for your assistance. Otherwise, even if I were fine,"

"Nine-Tailed City would likely have suffered as well." Lin Moyu brought Nine-Tailed City into the conversation. If Master Kurong had indeed…

…caused trouble in Nine-Tailed City, it would have been the Demon Emperor who lost face. After all, this was the Demon Emperor's territory.

The Celestial Fox Clan were the Demon Emperor's subordinates. The Demon Emperor said, "Master Kurong went too far this time. Perhaps this Emperor needs to go teach him another lesson."

Lin Moyu said, "When Master Kurong came to kill me this time, he mentioned that if you were to seek him out again,"

"he would certainly not make things easy for you. He is no pushover either. Once he risks his life,"

"he could at least drag you down with him, resulting in mutual defeat." The Demon Emperor fell silent, then sighed softly.

"He is right. If he truly risks his life, this Emperor could at most suffer mutual defeat with him."

"Killing him is almost impossible." Lin Moyu said, "Therefore, it is better if you do not seek him out."

"I do not believe it is worth getting injured for his sake. Besides, since his clone was destroyed here this time,"

"he likely won't make any moves for a short while. However…" The Demon Emperor heard the underlying meaning in Lin Moyu's words and asked, "However what?"

Lin Moyu said, "However, I am about to head to the Western Continent, so I fear there might be some trouble."

"Master Kurong is in the Western Continent. If he targets me, even with Your Majesty's protection…"
