Chapter 2435: Chapter 2435: Are You Fang Bai?

The void collapsed, and the mountain ranges shattered.

That Emperor Realm Expert of the Demon Clan swung the bone club in his hand in all directions, and wherever its power reached, everything was destroyed.

"Under the shroud of imperial might, no matter how well a mere little Immortal King hides, he still has to die!"

That Demon Emperor let out a cold snort.

He believed that with his full power unleashed, all living beings within a radius of a thousand li would be wiped out. Even if that Sixth-grade Immortal King–realm little immortal had an Emperor’s Instrument for protection, he would still find it hard to escape death.

Yet he did not know that Fang Bai had not used some kind of concealment art, but had brought the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron with him and directly hidden inside the Five Elements Space Ring.

And under his deliberate manipulation, the Five Elements Space Ring blended into the surrounding heaven-and-earth scenery; even an Emperor Realm Expert could not detect its traces.

An Emperor Realm Expert attacking with an Emperor’s Instrument naturally produced terrifying power.

But the sturdiness of the Five Elements Space Ring was also beyond what an Emperor Realm Expert could imagine.

After that Demon Emperor’s Emperor’s Instrument smashed down, the Five Elements Space Ring, hidden invisibly in midair, was struck heavily by immortal power and plummeted, burrowing deep into the Dashan below and reaching all the way to the underground.

If it had been some other Immortal Artifact, it might already have snapped and shattered, but the Five Elements Space Ring was completely unscathed.

A moment later, Fang Bai, hiding inside the Five Elements Space Ring, quietly released a strand of Divine Sense to probe the situation outside. Discovering that the Five Elements Space Ring he was in was already located deep beneath a Dashan, he couldn’t help letting out a breath of relief.

"War Emperor, you... why did you come in too?"

Lotus Fairy was sitting cross-legged cultivating beneath the World Tree when she suddenly sensed Fang Bai’s aura. Seeing him sitting cross-legged on a pile of Immortal Stone not far away, she was both surprised and delighted.

Fang Bai withdrew his Divine Sense and told Lotus Fairy about the situation outside.

After listening, Lotus Fairy murmured, "Three Emperor Realm Experts fighting, their pressure covering a thousand li—unless their great battle ends, it will be difficult for us to leave."

She knew Fang Bai still had to return to Moon Sea Sect within a month. But battles between Emperor Realm Experts often dragged on for a long, long time. If this continued, how they were to leave the Five Elements Space Ring, and how to seek reinforcements and return to Moon Sea Sect, would both be great problems.

Fang Bai’s eyes shone with determination as he said, "No matter what, we can’t just keep waiting here!"

He had just advanced to Sixth-grade Immortal King Realm, and after completely stabilizing his realm, he circulated Earth Immortal Qi and slipped out of the Five Elements Space Ring, holding the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron up with both hands as he rushed upward.

Soon, he returned to the surface.

The three Emperor Realm Experts were still locked in a great battle.

Emperor Realm Experts possessed immense immortal power that could tear the void apart with their bare hands. Their bodies flickered constantly in the void—one instant they were still in place, and the next they were already a thousand li away.

Every punch they threw could shatter a Dashan, and every palm they cleaved could sever a surging river.

Just now, Fang Bai appearing with the Supreme Immortal Artifact Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron had indeed stirred the hearts of the three Emperor Realm Experts for a moment, but after the Demon Emperor’s furious barrage of attacks, they assumed Fang Bai could not possibly escape death, and that the Emperor’s Instrument might well be annihilated along with him, so they no longer paid attention.

As for the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, all his mind and strength were focused on dealing with the attacks of the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor, and he had no way to spare attention elsewhere, so he did not sense the aura Fang Bai had released.

Fang Bai held the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron up with both hands as he returned from underground to the surface, once again facing the pressure of the three Emperor Realm Experts.

Though he had just advanced by a minor realm, before the three Emperor Realm Experts he was still as fragile as an ant. Even with the protection of the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, he still felt tremendous strain.

So this time, the moment Fang Bai showed himself, he released his aura as much as possible, hoping the Great Luo Immortal Emperor would sense him.

Soon, the three Emperor Realm Experts discovered his presence again.

"That little immortal again... he’s actually not dead?"

The three Emperor Realm Experts could ignore Fang Bai, but they could not ignore that Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron. Seeing Fang Bai completely unharmed and appearing once more within the range of their oppressive might, they were greatly astonished.

Especially that Demon Emperor—seeing a mere Sixth-grade Immortal King Realm Expert escape unscathed from his attack, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat humiliated.

"It must be the work of that treasure cauldron!"

The Emperor Realm Expert of the Demon Clan thought this to himself, his interest in the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron growing even stronger.

He was just about to pounce toward Fang Bai again when he saw the void tremble; the Great Luo Immortal Emperor had actually beaten him to it, traversing a hundred li of void and appearing in front of Fang Bai.

This time, Fang Bai did not hide inside the Five Elements Space Ring again.

Because there was no hint of hostility on the Great Luo Immortal Emperor’s body; clearly, he had not come to seize his Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron.

Fang Bai felt that he must have sensed that long-lost familiar aura from him—he just didn’t know whether he could recognize who he was.

"What is your relationship with the former Emperor’s Palace Master of bygone years?"

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor stood in front of Fang Bai, blocking the pressure coming from the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor for him, then transmitted his voice to Fang Bai without turning his head, asking about his identity.

"Great Luo Immortal Friend, I am Fang Bai!"

Fang Bai replied.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor was one of the few among Fang Bai’s immortal friends who knew his name.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to glance at Fang Bai, asking in puzzlement, "You... are Fang Bai?"

Fang Bai knew that his current physical body was completely different from his previous life, so he quickly told the Great Luo Immortal Emperor about his seizing-a-body and rebirth in the mortal world, and, fearing he would not believe him, brought up some of the secret matters from their dealings in past years.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor no longer harbored any doubts and said excitedly, "To think you’re actually still alive! Hahaha... wonderful! This is truly wonderful!"

In his surprise and joy, he couldn’t help laughing aloud.

Fang Bai said, "To tell the truth, I came to find you this time because I have something to ask of you."

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor said, "Very well, once I’ve repelled the Demon Emperor and Demon Emperor, we’ll return to Tianyin Temple and talk in detail."

Fang Bai said with a wry smile, "By the time you repel them, I’m afraid it will be too late for everything."

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor said, "There’s nothing I can do. I’m fighting one against two—being able to drive them back at all is already difficult enough! If only you still had your former might; you could wipe them out with a snap of your fingers!"

Fang Bai summoned the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade and said to the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, "Even though I’m far from what I was back then, I can still lend you a hand! Take this blade and continue the fight!"

The Blood-Drinking Mad Blade hovered before the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, releasing sky-piercing killing intent and boundless Evil Qi.

With the eye of someone like the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, a single glance told him this blade was extraordinary—its grade was likely even above that of his own Zen Staff Emperor’s Instrument. Overjoyed, he shifted the Zen Staff to his left hand and gripped the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his right.

In Fang Bai’s hands, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade had its power limited by his Cultivation Level; he couldn’t even bring out one-tenth of its full might. But in the hands of an Emperor Realm Expert like the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, although he still could not draw out all of its power, he could at least unleash the might of an Emperor’s Instrument.

With two Emperor’s Instruments in hand, the Great Luo Immortal Emperor’s aura soared, instantly suppressing the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
