Chapter 2554: Chapter 2554: Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor
"Everyone, speed up!" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor didn’t pay attention to Su Yang and the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor who had just entered through the door, but instead shouted in a rough voice, "It’s been tens of thousands of years, and you can’t even organize this bit of information. Isn’t it embarrassing to spread this around? Dammit, if you don’t finish organizing this information today, don’t say you’re rolling with me when you go out!"
A group of Saint Emperor Guards quickly sped up and began organizing things, leaving Su Yang dumbfounded as he watched.
How come Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor seems so full of a grassroots vibe? Is he really the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor revered as the Supreme by the Demon Beast Clan?
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor who had previously led Su Yang inside, however, looked at Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor with an expression full of respect and admiration, and the reverence in his eyes was not fake at all.
"Great Saint Emperor, I’ve brought the person!" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor bowed.
"Hmm!" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor finally turned his head and sized up Su Yang, saying, "Are you the human cultivator who killed many of our demon beasts?"
"Uh..." Su Yang was instantly awkward, originally there were words he wanted to say, but suddenly he didn’t know how to say them.
"Lord Kunpeng, I think you might be mistaken!" Su Yang said, "The Human Clan and the Demon Beast Clan are allies, I haven’t killed any demon beasts!"
"You still say you didn’t kill?" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor glared, "How many demon beasts did you kill in this valley? From when your strength was very weak, before you even reached the Xuan Realm, you killed many. Now that you’ve reached this realm, how many demon beasts have you slain?"
"Uh..." Su Yang was speechless; he did indeed kill many demon beasts in this valley before. At that time, he treated the valley as his own training ground, regularly coming down to slay these demon beasts to train himself.
But how could he have imagined that the things he did here back then were known by Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor?
"You... you knew I was here very early on?" Su Yang asked in surprise, while also blaming himself for being too careless. If he had known, he should have transformed into Su Mo instead of returning to his original appearance.
"I knew from the first time you came in!" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor replied.
Su Yang was immediately filled with resignation; it seemed there was no way to deny this matter now.
"Since you knew so early, then you should also understand, many things were out of my control." Su Yang said, "When I came in, it was those demon beasts attacking me..."
"Enough, you don’t need to say anymore!" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor waved his hand directly, "Besides, you didn’t kill my subordinates, and those demon beasts have lost their minds and turned into tools of the Guardian God. You killed them, so be it, I won’t give you any trouble. Even if you didn’t solve those demon beasts, I would have to find a way to deal with them anyway. Otherwise, if those demon beasts are found by the Guardian God, they’ll still become tools of the Guardian God; it’s always troublesome!"
"Ah?" Su Yang was dumbfounded; he thought Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor would use this to make things difficult for him. Unexpectedly, he didn’t intend to trouble him at all?
"Then... then..." Su Yang scratched his head, "Then... then why are you keeping a record of me killing these demon beasts?"
"Who kept a record!" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said, "I just kept an eye on you to see how you come and go from this valley!"
Su Yang suddenly realized, it seemed Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor and his people were trapped in this valley, unable to get out, which is why they’ve been watching him, hoping to find a way out.
"So what’s the result?" Su Yang asked.
"Do I still need to say it? If I could go out, would I still be here talking to you?" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor glared.
"Uh..." Su Yang awkwardly smiled, "Then why didn’t you directly talk to me before? If you had talked to me earlier, I could have thought of a way to help you leave this valley!"
"At that time you killed so many demon beasts, how could we approach you?" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said indignantly, "Want us to let you kill us?"
"Lord Kunpeng, you’re joking!" Su Yang said, "With your strength, can I really kill you?"
"We weren’t this strong before..." Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said helplessly, "For some unknown reason, there was only Yellow Level Spiritual Energy here before, and we were limited to the Yellow Level. Later, when the spiritual energy turned into Xuan-level Spiritual Energy, we regained our strength!"
Su Yang thought of those demon beasts outside, they too reached the Saint Emperor Realm after the spiritual energy at the Spirit Liquid Lake upgraded. This indicates that Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor and his people hadn’t reached the Saint Emperor level before, explaining why they didn’t dare to approach him.
"How did you end up in here?" Su Yang couldn’t help but ask.
"Ah, talking about that just makes me miserable!" Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said, "I don’t know what happened either. Anyway, that day I was cultivating, and suddenly felt a powerful wave of energy. I wanted to go out and see, but before I knew it, I was bumped into by a city descending from Outer Heaven. After entering that city, I was collided by a Furnace and then ended up in this valley. At that moment, I played it smart and quickly left behind a Jade Talisman, recording the image at the time, hoping someone could see it. Damn it, but no one saw it all these years."
"What about your subordinates?" Su Yang asked curiously.
Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said helplessly, "That city later crashed into the Imperial City where I lived, and all my subordinates came in here too."
Su Yang was speechless, not sure whether to say they were lucky or unlucky. Arguably unlucky, but the city also crashed his Imperial City and brought all his subordinates inside, which at least made him not a lone orphan.
"Then do you know what this place really is?" Su Yang asked.
"Didn’t know at first, but later learned." Lord Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said, "This is the World Melting Furnace, one of the strongest Divine Artifacts of the three Ancient Heavenly Warriors. Originally, the World Melting Furnace was a human Great World, but later it was besieged by countless demon beasts driven by the Guardian God, and all life perished."
"The transcendent Heavenly Warrior was born here in this Great World, but was participating in a great war and couldn’t spare himself to save his homeland. By the time he finished the war and returned, his homeland had changed into this. In his fury, the Heavenly Warrior used Great Divine Power to refine the entire Great World into a Divine Artifact and sealed everything inside. The demon beast army you saw outside was originally sent by the Guardian God to attack this Great World, and they are all trapped inside!"
