Chapter 628: Chapter 624: Fighting Two Emperors

"Get the hell down here!"

Hong Yu pointed his spear at the Young Master with one hand and bellowed.

With Xingtian and the Execution Corpse Warriors keeping the ninety-nine Furious Flame Lion Riders occupied, Hong Yu was free to act, naturally setting his sights on the Young Master.

If his opponent had merely wanted to defeat him and stop him from earning the title of Hundred Victory War God, Hong Yu would have found it understandable, even forgivable.

But the man had made things difficult for him again and again.

He had even broken the rules, using a war of attrition and sheer numbers in an attempt to obliterate him.

This had touched upon Hong Yu’s reversed scale!

A dragon has a reversed scale—touch it and you die!

Aside from his family and friends, Hong Yu’s reversed scale was his own life...

The Young Master trembled, his gaze flickering. He hesitated, not daring to enter the battlefield.

Before, he might have dared to charge down and fight Hong Yu to determine who was stronger. But after seeing Hong Yu’s consecutive battles and the bloody slaughter he’d unleashed, he was utterly terrified.

As he was hesitating, a figure flew out from the Audience Seats. It was Ape Qitian.

Ape Qitian narrowed his eyes, staring at Hong Yu. A grim smile spread across his face. "Lion Ridge, this young master also finds this brat extremely displeasing!"

"Hm?"

Lion Ridge was the name of the Lion Tribe’s Young Master. His eyes lit up as he looked at Ape Qitian. "What’s this? Brother Qitian, you want to join forces with me to kill this kid?"

"Heh heh!"

Ape Qitian grinned ferociously and nodded. "This guy publicly slapped Ape Xu in the face and even roasted his mount in the middle of the street," he said coolly. "If I don’t kill him, won’t everyone think they can just walk all over my Great Ape Tribe in the future?"

"But... this kid’s strength..."

Lion Ridge was tempted, but when he thought of Hong Yu’s combat power, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He was truly stunned by the power Hong Yu had displayed, fighting far above his realm.

Who would have thought that a guy at the Peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm could have made it this far, enduring all of his endless schemes and plots? Most importantly, as Lion Ridge—a young villain who normally delighted in drinking blood from human hearts—looked at the youth walking through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, his own scalp tingled with fear.

These several hundred corpses had all died tragically at Hong Yu’s hands!

Ape Qitian chuckled. "Don’t worry. I recently had a small breakthrough, and the tribe rewarded me with a Divine Weapon!"

"Huh? You broke through?"

Lion Ridge’s expression froze for a moment, then his eyes widened as he stared at Ape Qitian. "You’ve reached the War Emperor Level?"

"Mhm!"

Ape Qitian nodded.

"Haha, that’s excellent! We’re both early-stage War Emperors. We can definitely kill him!"

Lion Ridge roared with laughter, a sinister light flickering in his eyes.

"Let’s go!"

The two exchanged a glance and charged into the battlefield.

The prohibition array suddenly split open, and in an instant, the two appeared before Hong Yu, one on his left and one on his right. The vital energy and blood in their bodies surged like mighty rivers. They were supremely powerful experts, peerless warriors capable of tearing apart Primordial Spirit Realm masters with their bare hands.

Hong Yu’s eyes narrowed. His blood boiled, and a surging killing intent coalesced in his gaze, making him look like a ferocious demon.

He looked at Lion Ridge indifferently and sneered, "So you do have some guts. I thought you were too scared to come down!"

"Hmph!"

Lion Ridge’s face turned livid.

He had indeed been too scared to come down earlier, but how could he admit his cowardice now?

With a cold expression, Lion Ridge summoned a Great Halberd into his hand. Its chilling glint marked it as an unparalleled Divine Weapon. "Beichen, one year from now will be the anniversary of your death!"

"Idiot!"

Hong Yu scoffed, glancing sideways at Ape Qitian. "And who are you? I don’t kill nobodies!"

"What an arrogant bastard! You humans are all full of pride. This young master has met plenty of human experts who called themselves Unparalleled Geniuses, but every single one of them died at my hands!"

Ape Qitian roared with laughter, his voice booming like thunder, as if a war drum was beating in his chest. "You’d better listen up and remember my name, so you know who to cry about when you meet King Yama! I am the Young Master of the Great Ape Tribe, Ape Qitian!"

"So you’re Ape Qitian?"

Hong Yu raised his sharp, sword-like eyebrows, a playful look on his face. "Ah, I remember now. I once roasted a warhorse in the street, which was said to be the mount of an expert from your Great Ape Tribe. It tasted pretty good. Did you happen to bring another one today? I’m hungry!"

Contemptuous, flamboyant, and domineering!

Utterly fearless!

At this moment, Hong Yu radiated an overwhelming, domineering aura.

Facing two War Emperor experts, he was neither servile nor overbearing. His gaze was like lightning, his will to fight soared, and he completely disregarded these top geniuses of the War Race.

"You have a death wish! Die!"

"Heh heh, you will surely die today!"

A layer of silver light emanated from Ape Qitian’s body as a set of silver Battle Armor materialized, shimmering brightly. It was as if a Divine Ape had descended upon him, granting him unparalleled Divine Techniques.

"Heaven and Earth Resonating!"

Ape Qitian beat his fists together, gathering streams of malevolent silver light.

It was as if ten million Divine Apes were striking down from the sky, unleashing a god-destroying Fist Gang that blotted out the heavens. The Fist Gang tore through the void with a series of thunderous BOOMS that made one’s heart tremble. Experts of the War Race utilized attacks of Battle Qi, which possessed a sharp, destructive power that the Primordial Gang of ordinary humans could not hope to match.

But Hong Yu was not afraid in the slightest.

"A contest of Fist Techniques? Watch me smash you to bits, you wild monkey!"

A blue light flickered in Hong Yu’s eyes.

Although his words showed he didn’t take the two seriously, in his heart, there wasn’t the slightest trace of underestimation.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

And he was facing two War Emperors, no less.

"Great Destruction Fist—Heaven and Earth Have Me!"

He threw a punch, and his Nine-Colored Fist Gang instantly crashed against the surging Battle Qi.

The two completely different types of energy roared as they clashed, causing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to riot. It was an incredibly terrifying sight, as if an endless torrent of energy was converging into a vacuum vortex.

At the same time, Lion Ridge was already charging forward with his Great Halberd.

His Combat Skills were primarily ferocious and wild, and he immediately unleashed a sweeping strike meant to clear a thousand soldiers.

Golden Battle Qi surged, vast and mighty, reaching Hong Yu in an instant. There was no escaping this bolt of golden light.

Hong Yu threw another punch.

This punch seemed to shatter the heavens and split the earth, causing rivers to flow backward and the sun and moon to dim.

"CRASH!"

The Fist Gang stretched out endlessly like a raging river.

The golden bolt of light and the Nine-Colored Fist Gang collided like two mountain peaks. A violent shockwave rolled backward, kicking up a monstrous tsunami of power that shook the heavens.

"Close-quarters combat!"

Lion Ridge roared.

Ape Qitian also nodded. The greatest strength of their War Race was the War Body, formed by fusing with Battle Qi, which far surpassed the Body Refining Techniques of ordinary humans.

"War Halberd Shatters the Void!"

Lion Ridge bellowed.

As he closed the distance with Hong Yu, he thrust his halberd. His arms moved like phantoms, extending and retracting, unleashing a rain of golden halberd light like a meteor shower.

Meanwhile, Ape Qitian had already reached Hong Yu’s left side.

A savage sneer was on his face as he formed a Seal Technique. Terrifying Battle Qi condensed into a Four-sided Divine Seal.

"Combat Skill—War King Seal!"

The Four-sided Divine Seal howled through the air.

Its silver light was dazzling, as if Mount Tai itself was crashing down.

Chilling bolts of electricity erupted from Hong Yu’s eyes. His brow twitched slightly, and a cold smirk appeared on his face.

’My left eye is not just for show!’

The blue light in it was constantly flowing, allowing him to see their movements with perfect clarity and react in an instant.

He suddenly stomped on the ground.

His body soared into a backflip, and in that same instant, Primordial Gang gathered on his right leg. With a SWISH, he kicked fiercely at the War King Seal.

The kick came from below, striking the underside of the War King Seal perfectly.

"DONG!"

A dull impact, like the toll of a morning bell or evening drum, suddenly rang out.

With a series of CRACKS, a dense web of fissures appeared on the War King Seal. The seal, condensed from Battle Qi, completely collapsed under Hong Yu’s fierce kick, shattering into several pieces.

"How is that possible?" Ape Qitian’s expression changed slightly.

His War King Seal was an invincible condensation of his Battle Qi. It was incredibly pure and as sturdy as a Fifth-Grade Primordial Weapon.

He never would have expected that Hong Yu’s lean body contained enough power to shatter a Fifth-Grade Primordial Weapon with a single kick.

In truth, this was related to the fact that Hong Yu’s physical strength had increased once again after he broke through in both the Cyan Celestial Transformation Dragon Technique and the Nine Transformation Dragon God Technique. Otherwise, that kick would have been like an ordinary person kicking a steel plate—resulting in a comminuted fracture.

Of course, Hong Yu wasn’t about to end his chain of attacks so easily.

His body, suspended in mid-air, spun. In a volley of aerial kicks, his legs swept out like a Divine Dragon Tail Swing, striking the fragments of the shattered War King Seal.

"CRACK! CRACK!"

Two consecutive sonic booms exploded through the air.

Two long tails of flame ignited in the air—the terrifying heat generated by the fragments of the War King Seal as they were kicked away by Hong Yu, creating friction with the air.

One flew left and one flew right, shooting toward Ape Qitian and Lion Ridge respectively.

Hong Yu’s sequence of movements was simply too fast.

Everything was executed as smoothly as flowing water.

Ape Qitian and Lion Ridge were unable to defend in time. With two muffled THUDS, the two experts who had just entered the War Emperor realm were sent flying by the impact.

Ape Qitian’s physical body was extremely strong. A silver light flashed, and the War King Seal fragment exploded against his chest.

It merely cracked his Battle Armor and made the vital energy and blood in his body churn.

Lion Ridge, however, focused on power, and his physical strength was considerably weaker.

As a result, the exploding War King Seal fragment ripped a gash in his shoulder. Blood gushed out like a spring. The blood of a War Emperor expert was so exquisitely refined that a single drop could fall like a rain of blood.

As the bloody rain fell, it stained Lion Ridge’s embroidered robes red.

"ROAR!"

Lion Ridge flew into a rage, his eyes turning crimson.

Ape Qitian also steadied himself, his gaze heavy as he stared at Hong Yu. He had never imagined Hong Yu possessed such immense combat power.

For a moment, he regretted acting so hastily.

But now, he was in a position where he couldn’t back down.

He exchanged a look with Lion Ridge, and both saw the determination and killing intent in the other’s eyes. They roared in unison, "War Ancestor’s Descent—War God Transformation!"

"RUMBLE!"

Two dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, rumbling with thunder, as if a War Ancestor of the War Race was looking down upon the vast world from within.

Two pillars of light descended from the heavens, enveloping Ape Qitian and Lion Ridge.

Their bodies began to undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

Hong Yu’s expression gradually grew grim...

’This time, I’ll really have to get serious!’
