Chapter 6194 - Hand Over the Treasures

Qingxi and the others stared at the massive pit before them, then at the elder whose half face was smashed beyond recognition, rendering them momentarily speechless. They secretly glanced at the void where the elder once stood, seeing the mysterious figure in black robes appear. "You brat, courting death..." The elder struggled to fly out of the pit, roaring in anger, attempting to summon his Emperor Body. "Pa" In a flash, with a loud bang, the elder was once again thrown into the pit, this time making it even larger. Two consecutive slaps cracked the elder's head open, leaving him no chance to manifest his Emperor Body. "Hand over all the treasures on you," Long Chen said coldly. The elder's face was filled with terror, only now realizing that the person before him was a living Yama king. He was unlucky today; intending to rob, he ended up being robbed. "Huff" The elder gritted his teeth and tossed a spatial divine stone to Long Chen. "Pfft" The moment the spatial divine stone left his hand, an invisible blade pierced through his body. "You... I already handed it over... why..." the elder roared. "I told you to hand over the treasures, but I never said I wouldn't kill you after," Long Chen said indifferently. "You... you won't die a good death..." the elder roared, but his life was rapidly draining away, and he finally collapsed, dead. Long Chen waved his hand, throwing the elder's corpse into the chaotic space. "Keep the stuff and lead the way," Long Chen said. "This... is it for us?" Qingxi, still in shock, asked incredulously. "Take it. I have some ties with your Beast Merging Clan and mean no harm. I'm only going to your place to verify something," Long Chen said. "Thank you, senior." Qingxi was overjoyed and quickly put away the spatial divine stone, sneaking a glance at it and almost screaming upon seeing it filled with treasures. "Senior, how shall we proceed?" Qingxi cautiously asked. "As fast as possible," Long Chen said. "But, in the city..." Qingxi said. "It's fine, just a bunch of rabble," Long Chen replied calmly. Soon, they arrived in a city. Since Qingluo City was destroyed, Qingxi chose another nearby city. As expected, their entry caused a stir, countless strong figures eyeing them maliciously, even the common Emperor Realm cultivators eager to try. "Hand over the Emperor Source!" Finally, someone couldn't hold back, blocking their way. It was a group of over a dozen Emperor seedlings. "Kill them all," Long Chen said. "This..." Qingxi hesitated. The Beast Merging Clan wasn't strong, and they dared not easily start a conflict, lest they bring disaster upon themselves. "Peace is not begged for; it is fought for. Whether you can win or not, at least let your opponent know you are not prey. Even if they see you as prey, make them understand that eating you comes at a price," Long Chen said calmly. Qingxi and the others recalled how they were continuously hunted by the Golden Monkey Clan after obtaining the treasure, losing many lives despite continuous concessions, yet still facing this outcome. "Kill" Qingxi gritted her teeth, wielding her golden sword and charging out, while the other strong members of the Beast Merging Clan also roared and charged. It must be said, Qingxi's strength was formidable, her combat experience rich, and her battlefield control excellent. No wonder she could condense two Emperor Flames with such scarce resources in the Beast Merging Clan; it was entirely due to her talent. If placed in another sect, her strength would surely be greater. She wouldn't be much weaker than the geniuses Long Chen encountered in the Emperor Fall Land. However, the Beast Merging Clan was always seen as outcasts by the myriad clans, and no one would likely take them in, no matter how talented they were. Those Emperor seedlings at the Emperor Realm were honestly quite mediocre and were quickly slaughtered, their bloody methods serving as a deterrent, making the people ahead clear a path. Arriving at the teleportation array, the guardian intended to stall, only to be slain by Qingxi with a single sword. It seemed that the city's experts had gone out to search for them, for no Three Heaven Emperor Level experts or any formidable opponents appeared in the city. "Buzz" The teleportation array activated. Although many experts were outside, they knew they were no match for Qingxi, so they didn't dare to approach, only secretly notifying their sect's experts. As the teleportation array activated and they entered the passage, Qingxi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Qingxi had just manipulated the array for the farthest teleportation possible, feeling safer the further they got from the Emperor Fall Land. All the way, Long Chen didn't speak, resting with his eyes closed. His spiritual power needed recovery, making it unsuitable for cultivation at this time. In truth, Long Chen was eager to cultivate his physical body. He needed to quickly open the second gate, having discovered that opening the Life Gate expanded his internal sea of stars significantly. Moreover, the sea of stars within his dantian could store more star power. Long Chen's urgency stemmed from the appearance of the Supreme Star Covering Art, sensing a massive threat. He needed to accumulate enough star power within himself, so that if he encountered the Supreme Star Covering Art, he could draw upon it. Otherwise, he would be truly crippled. Clearly, the Supreme Star Covering Art was designed to counter the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, and he needed to prepare early. Fortunately, after refining the Blood Moon Rune, his combat power had surged, yet Long Chen felt uneasy. The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art needed to progress faster. During the teleportation, Qingxi distributed pills among the group. Seeing the top-grade golden pills, everyone covered their mouths in astonishment. Qingxi smiled slightly, knowing that the wealth of that Three Heaven Emperor Level expert was astonishing, with a pile of pills, these being just the tip of the iceberg among his treasures. After consuming the pills, everyone quickly healed and regained their strength, sneaking glances at Long Chen's back, each feeling uneasy. This man's strength was terrifying, his realm unfathomable. They couldn't believe someone at the initial Emperor Realm could possess such fearsome power. His realm must be disguised. Although Long Chen hadn't taken the Emperor Source from them and even gifted them the entire fortune of a Three Heaven Emperor Level expert, they still felt uneasy. If this man harbored ill intentions towards the Beast Merging Clan, their actions could lead to the Clan's extinction. But at this point, they had no choice but to trust Long Chen. Soon, they arrived at the next city. As Long Chen anticipated, the city's experts were absent. After establishing dominance, they proceeded to the next teleportation. After several teleportations, Qingxi initially felt excited but soon her expression changed. She quickly realized that the city's experts must have received news and were heading straight for the Beast Merging Clan's ancestral land. When Long Chen led the group across mountains, nearing the Beast Merging Clan's ancestral land, a group of people suddenly appeared ahead. Seeing Qingxi and the others, their eyes turned blue, and without a word, they raised their weapons and charged.
