Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 86 Ape Head Peak

"The guardian deities of the Taoist sect, the Twelve Earthly Branches?"

The name Di Yi is familiar, but he doesn't seem to have much of a role. He probably wasn't one of the top experts in the Kunlun Realm back then.

“I’ve told you everything I know. Now can you tell me the range you’ve sensed?” Bu Qianfan said.

The emperor nodded, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, saying that it would be about 12,000 li in that direction.

Bu Qianfan looked in the direction he was pointing and his expression changed instantly. This was clearly the direction of the Sea of ​​Death and Calamity, twelve thousand miles away. That meant they were going to be twenty thousand miles away from Jia Yi Battle City. With their cultivation at the Heavenly Realm, going that far would be tantamount to courting death.

"Come back to Jia Yi Zhan City with me. I will gather the experts from the Bu Sheng Clan to go together."

Di Yi simply put away the token and turned to walk towards the Sea of ​​Death and Sin.

"I don't trust the people of the Bu Sheng Clan about opportunities related to the gods. If you want to go, Captain Bu, go by yourself. I'll go ahead."

Seeing that he was really heading towards the Sea of ​​Death and Sin, Bu Qianfan was furious. How could a Taoist priest be more reckless than himself, a soldier?

"Wait for me. You can go, but give me back the Chen token."

……

The Fiends are not a single, uniform race, but rather a diverse group, much like a collection of sentient seafood—shrimp, crabs, fish, turtles, and all sorts of creatures—only they have all taken on a half-human form, exuding a strong aura of death. They are not very intelligent, and most of them only possess the instinct to kill.

Emperor Yi took the Vermilion Bird Sword from the replica of the Four Symbols Holy Sword in his hand and used the Vermilion Bird Sword Technique to kill all the native tribes along the way, including many powerful individuals at the second or third transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. His military merits accumulated rapidly.

The natives who have undergone the third transformation of the Fish-Dragon are worth 100,000 military merits, those who have undergone the fourth transformation are worth 200,000, and those who have undergone the fifth transformation are worth 300,000...

Killing one hundred natives of the Void Realm at the fifth stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation will allow you to reach the requirements of the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

With Di Yi's current strength, he might be able to defeat or even kill a fifth-stage Fish-Dragon expert by using all his means. He could manage one or two, but a hundred would be beyond his capabilities.

Bu Qianfan followed behind him, his Flying Fish Armor covered in wounds, and his battle sword stained with the black blood of the Fiend Clan natives.

"We can't go any further. There are already powerful aberrant race members around here who are comparable to the fifth stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation. If we go any further and encounter aberrant race members who are at the sixth or seventh stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation, we will only face certain death."

Di Yi was not as relaxed as he appeared. The natives of the Fiend Clan did not care about one-on-one combat. Once they started fighting, a large group of them would rush up to him, fearless of death.

Even with the sharpness of the Vermilion Bird Holy Sword and the powerful regenerative ability of the Five Elements Divine Demon Body, Di Yi still felt physically and mentally exhausted.

After taking out a sixth-grade healing pill and consuming it to restore his true energy and injuries, Di Yi did not rush forward again.

Seeing this, Bu Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief and took the healing pills he was carrying to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible.

A quarter of an hour later, Di Yi had recovered most of his strength, and Bu Qianfan's injuries were also brought under control, and he regained his spirits.

“We are already more than 20,000 li away from Jia Yi Battle City. If we go another 1,000 li or so, we should be there,” Di Yi said.

Bu Qianfan looked puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say that it could only be confirmed within a five thousand li range?"

"I've said before that I can pinpoint the location to within 500 li, but you just didn't believe me," Di Yi smiled.

Bu Qianfan was speechless. Was Yi Qianlong really a hundred times stronger than him?
No, that's impossible. It must be because he's a Taoist disciple and the divine marks he received are related to the Twelve Earthly Branches.

Bu Qianfan finally convinced himself, but then became somewhat worried. A thousand miles seemed like a short distance, but once the boundary of twenty thousand miles was crossed, the number of powerful members of the Fiend Clan would increase exponentially, both in terms of quantity and strength.

"Let's go. We've already come this far, are we really going to give up?" Di Yi stood up and looked at Bu Qianfan.

Bu Qianfan slammed his fist into the ground and stood up: "How can an opportunity related to the gods be without risk? Let's take a gamble."

The two regrouped and continued forward, trying their best to conceal their presence. After traveling another six or seven hundred miles, Di Yi's ears twitched as he heard a muffled and strange cry coming from the black earth beneath his feet.

The sound grew closer and closer, like an earth dragon rolling underground, causing the ground beneath one's feet to tremble.

Di Yi gripped the Vermilion Bird Holy Sword tightly, his body igniting with intense true energy flames. With a clang, he thrust the sword down towards his feet, the crimson sword energy blasting into the ground.

Boom!

The next moment, a jet-black serpent burst forth from the ground, its scarlet eyes radiating a terrifying aura, and its gaping maw unleashing a deafening roar that stirred up clouds of black sand.

Its body was nearly ten feet thick, with half of it emerging from the ground and the other half still hidden in the earth. Its scales gleamed with a cold light and a deathly aura. It had two horns, one long and one short, one of which was broken off at the root by the Vermilion Bird Sword.

"It is a dragon race of the fourth transformation of the fish-dragon."

Emperor Yi's expression was solemn. He held his sword in one hand and looked at the enormous creature before him. He released his spiritual power, which enveloped an area of ​​several hundred feet around him. From underground, powerful auras were constantly gathering, each one no weaker than the creature before him.

Among the abominations, dragons and whales are the most powerful, while even the weakest possess the strength of the third transformation of a fish-dragon. What is before us is a type of abomination called the Earth Serpent, which is a social species. Once it appears, dozens or even hundreds of them gather together.

Di Yi also faintly sensed several incredibly powerful auras, far surpassing the earth serpent before him, at least those of a seventh-stage Fish-Dragon Transformation expert.

Di Yi once again activated the Vermilion Bird Holy Sword in his hand, unleashing the power of the holy artifact. He slashed out, striking the neck of the Earth Serpent. With this sword strike, he exerted all his strength, and five-colored holy light appeared behind him, utilizing the power of the Five Elements Divine Demon Body.

The Vermilion Bird Holy Sword was a thousand-patterned holy artifact. Even though Emperor Yi only unleashed a tiny bit of its power, it was still beyond the resistance of the Earth Serpent, which was in the fourth transformation of the Fish-Dragon. In an instant, its scales were pierced, and its entire body was cut in two, with ink-black blood splattering out and creating a rain of blood.

The emperor's face was slightly pale. He looked at Bu Qianfan and said, "Show me your life-saving methods, let's break out."

Bu Qianfan was amazed by his strength in killing a fourth-stage Fish-Dragon expert with a single sword strike, but he also understood that staying here would only lead to death. Without hesitation, he took out a scroll of imperial edict from his bosom, activated it, and holy light surged out, enveloping the two of them.

Which way to go?

Emperor Yi held the token in one hand, the tip of his sword pointing in a certain direction.

"Head in this direction."

Bu Qianfan controlled the power of the imperial edict and shot it out in the direction Emperor Yi pointed, transforming into a rainbow of light and disappearing from the spot.

The imperial edict in Bu Qianfan's hand was a life-saving item bestowed by the Holy Master Bu. Each use of it would consume the holy power within it, and once the holy power was exhausted, the imperial edict would lose its mystique.

After fleeing for hundreds of miles and shaking off the Earth Serpent, Bu Qianfan withdrew the imperial edict. Before him appeared a mountain peak more than ten miles high. Upon closer inspection, the mountain peak turned out to be a giant skull.

“This is… Ape Head Peak,” Bu Qianfan exclaimed in surprise.

"Ape Head Peak? Could this mountain really be a transformed head?"

“That’s right. The Demon King once went inside to investigate. Ape Head Peak should be the head of a giant demonic ape at the ninth-order beast king level. I don’t know how long it has been here. The holy power inside has completely drained away and lost its value.”

The Giant Spirit Demon Ape is an ancient species, a powerful being comparable to a divine beast. It is an ancient species at the level of a Beast King, and even the Great Sage is no match for it.

Such a powerful being had its head severed and left to rot in the wilderness of the Eastern Continent. The Death Ruins must have experienced an unimaginably brutal war back then.

“Let’s go. I can sense that the target the token is pointing to is in this mountain.” Di Yi’s eyes gleamed with fervor.

Bu Qianfan asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you could only determine the range up to 500 li?"

"The Mark of the Gods can only pinpoint the distance to within 500 miles, but I didn't say I had no other means besides the Mark of the Gods," Di Yi said matter-of-factly.
