Chapter 2552: Chapter 2552: News of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor
Entering the Spirit Liquid Lake, Su Yang absorbed enough spiritual energy, allowing his injuries to recover.
The World Melting Furnace was placed in Storm Valley, and Su Yang wasn’t worried about the people inside the World Melting Furnace coming out. Because as soon as they opened the World Melting Furnace, they’d enter Storm Valley.
However, the current situation left the Nine Realms in a deadlock.
With Dao Ji guarding outside Storm Valley, Su Yang and his companions were completely trapped inside the World Melting Furnace with no way out. To get out, they must defeat Dao Ji. But the problem is, Dao Ji has already stepped into the Earth-level realm, which is a difference in realms. Without Earth-level and Heavenly-level spiritual energy, how can Su Yang surpass realms to defeat Dao Ji?
In fact, present-day Su Yang hadn’t even stepped into the Saint Emperor Realm, let alone the next Earth-level realm.
Could it be that Su Yang and the people of the Nine Realms are going to be trapped here forever?
Soaking in the Spirit Liquid Lake, Su Yang pondered many possibilities, but eventually dismissed them all. Considering Dao Ji’s resentment towards him, as long as he dared to step out of Storm Valley, Dao Ji would definitely not spare him!
Therefore, he must find a way to defeat Dao Ji or distract Dao Ji to change the current predicament.
But the problem is, how can he distract Dao Ji if he can’t get out of Storm Valley? Even if he had a solution, he can’t use it if he can’t get out!
After thinking for a while, Su Yang suddenly sat up straight from the Spirit Liquid Lake, looking at the demon beasts hovering above.
These demon beasts, after advancing to the Saint Emperor Realm, hadn’t changed much and were still trapped here.
However, Su Yang remembered he had been chasing a restored-intelligence Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor earlier.
Su Yang had been pondering what exactly was the situation with these demon beasts in this valley.
If he could capture that Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor, would he be able to understand the specific circumstances within the valley? Perhaps he might even find a way to leave the valley?
With this thought, Su Yang became energized. He quickly flew into the valley, looked around, and began searching among these demon beasts.
Su Yang didn’t know which valley he was in now, and there were just too many valleys inside the World Melting Furnace. Finding that previous Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor seemed hopeless. Thus, Su Yang planned to search among the Demon Beast Saint Emperors, thinking perhaps one of them had also regained intelligence.
The method of searching was simple: making eye contact with these demon beasts to see their reactions.
The result did not disappoint Su Yang. After going through seven valleys, he finally found a demon beast that didn’t dare meet his eyes.
It was also a Great Saint Emperor. Su Yang pretended to approach nonchalantly, planning to capture him first.
But this demon beast sensed Su Yang’s intentions and quickly turned to flee as Su Yang approached, much like the previous Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor.
This escape further validated Su Yang’s suspicions.
Su Yang quickly chased after it. This Great Saint Emperor was escaping through the tunnels between the valleys. However, his speed was ultimately not faster than Su Yang’s. After two days of struggle, Su Yang finally caught up to him.
Seeing escape was impossible, the Great Saint Emperor quickly turned to fight Su Yang head-on, shouting at the other demon beasts to surround Su Yang.
The other demon beasts seemed to be following this Great Saint Emperor’s commands and rushed in to besiege Su Yang.
Without wasting words, Su Yang immediately summoned the illusion of Heaven Slayer, instantly scaring those demon beasts into scattering.
The Great Saint Emperor, seeing no hope, desperately resisted for a while but was eventually captured by Su Yang.
Su Yang severely injured this Great Saint Emperor, dragging him above the Spirit Liquid Lake, and coldly said, "Speak, what exactly is your situation?"
This Great Saint Emperor looked down without speaking, as if determined to resist Su Yang to the end.
Frowning, Su Yang said in a deep voice, "Do you think you can spare yourself by not speaking? I know there are plenty of demon beasts like you in these valleys. If you don’t talk, I’ll kill you and find others. If they don’t talk, I’ll slaughter them all. I refuse to believe every one of you is this stubborn."
"You’re joking if you think you can kill us all. There’s no one here who’s afraid of you!" The Great Saint Emperor finally spoke, glaring at Su Yang.
"Oh, you can talk!" Su Yang laughed, "I thought you were mute and couldn’t speak!"
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor, filled with anger, shouted, "Don’t get too cocky. So what if you’re stronger than us? Someone will avenge us!"
"Oh, so there’s someone among you stronger than me?" Su Yang asked, smiling.
"Among us, many are stronger than you!" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor shouted angrily.
"Is that so?" Su Yang sneered, "Then why haven’t I seen even one? Could they all be dead?"
"You’re the one who’s dead!" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor shouted back angrily, "With your abilities, even a random member of the Saint Emperor Guards could easily kill you. You’re just taking advantage of their absence to flaunt your might here. Once they return, what will you be!"
"Saint Emperor Guards?!" Su Yang’s eyes flashed with brilliance. He looked at the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor for a while and said in a deep voice, "Are you under the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor?"
"How... How do you know the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor?" the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor asked in surprise.
Su Yang, almost jumping with excitement, couldn’t believe he had encountered subordinates of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor in the valley. Does this mean he could finally find the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor?
In the present circumstances, finding the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor could change the current predicament.
Besides, Su Yang had indeed returned to find the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor. Yet he had lost hope regarding this valley, only to unexpectedly find that his initial search direction was correct. It truly was a magnificent surprise.
"Of course, I know about the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor..." Su Yang eagerly said, "I came here specifically to find the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor!"
"Why... Why are you looking for the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor?" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor warily eyed Su Yang.
Su Yang hurriedly explained the situation in the outside Great World, leaving the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor filled with confusion.
"You say the Human Clan and the Demon Beast Clan have united to fight against the Guardian God?" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor asked, wide-eyed, "Who are you trying to fool? My Demon Beast Clan signed an agreement with the Guardian God ages ago, with each having our own territories. Why would my Demon Beast Clan go against the Guardian God?"
