His statement instantly caused a wave of turmoil.
The Martial Emperor was too dominant, blatantly taking the World Fruit for himself, causing unease in many people's hearts. After all, who wouldn't want it?
However, standing here, Chu Yuan possessed an awe-inspiring authority that people dared not casually oppose. His murderous intent was palpable, so intense that it seemed as if anyone who dared oppose him would be killed.
"Humph! You wish to take the World Fruit? What a foolish and delusional idea. You're not capable enough. Don't assume that just because you killed the Evergreen Arch-God, no one can control you anymore. The more arrogant and domineering you are, the faster you'll die.
You are not far from your death!"
Suddenly, a man bellowed out.
He wasn't an Arch-God, but a Major God of one of the five Great Empires, haughty and extremely young. He stood behind the Arch-God, shouting loudly at Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan's gaze fell on him, as if incensed by a fierce flame!
In one moment, this man was yelling, but in the next, he was instantly vaporized, completely gone without so much as a scream!
Indeed, he was vaporized!
He simply cast a look and a Major God was vaporized.
"He? What kind of Divine Abilities does he possess, to kill with just a look? He killed a Major God with a glance!"
There was immediate panic among the crowd.
"The Martial Emperor's strength is terrifying and formidable. Nobody knows how strong he truly is at this moment. He is here to seize the World Fruit with an absolute determination to win. We shouldn't oppose him. Let's see how the Ancient Five Emperors respond!"
"Right! If the Ancient Five Empires don't show any concern for him, then there's no need for us to stop it!"
"If there could be a leader who could stand up and oppose the Ancient Five Emperors, that would be a favorable situation!"
The alliance forces all retreated a few steps. The Martial Emperor's reputation was too grand, and no one wanted to oppose him.
"Do they really think we don't exist?"
The Major God slain by Chu Yuan belonged to the Fen Tian Empire.
Instantly, a middle-aged man, clad in fiery red robes with a body radiating bright red light, appeared on the scene. His face was overcome with a great fury. He roared angrily, "Martial Emperor, I heard that you can command the powerful flame forces. I want to see if your flames are as remarkable as the whispers suggest!"
"The Red Flame Arch-God, one of the brave soldiers of the Fen Tian Empire, brutal, ruthless, and powerful!"
"In a recent major battle, the Red Flame Arch-God personally took down an Arch-God!"
"This Arch-God was much more terrifying than the Evergreen Arch-God. His attacks were incredibly violent. When several other Arch-Gods surrounded him, not only did they not kill him, he killed one of them and severely injured several others!"
"I wonder how the Martial Emperor will deal with the Red Flame Arch-God!"
There were murmurs of discussion all around.
The discussions were loud, seemingly reminding Chu Yuan that the Red Flame Arch-God was powerful and not easy to handle; he was the War God of the Fen Tian Empire.
"This Martial Emperor is simply too arrogant."
Another Arch-God voiced out, from the Xuan Huang Empire.
He was dressed in yellow, his color resembling the dark hue of earth, the master of the earth element. He exuded a chaotic aura that spread around him, forming a formidable shield that engulfed his body.
The Ancient Five Emperors each had their unique abilities.
The Ge Jin Lie Tian Empire was the epitome of absolute attack.
The Xuan Huang Empire was the epitome of absolute defense.
Their defensive power was extremely formidable.
The Arch-God of the Everlasting Empire was watching Chu Yuan coldly. Having been outsmarted a few times, they were not acting rashly.
"I will deal with him to see how strong he is!"
The Red Flame Arch-God stepped forward and in an instant, he transformed into a man of fire.
The recent rumblings about Chu Yuan were numerous among the Ancient Five Emperors. Everyone was investigating his origin and the reason behind Dawu's strength.
But the strength of Dawu seemed to have erupted suddenly, developed over just a few decades.
The root cause of all of this pointed back to the Martial Emperor.
Although his feat of killing the Evergreen Arch-God was startling, the Red Flame Arch-God also wanted to know exactly how strong Chu Yuan was.
The sky was set ablaze with fierce flames as the Red Flame Arch-God unleashed his brutal strength. His divine body composed entirely of flames engulfed Chu Yuan with a swipe of his palm, sweeping him into a whirlwind of crimson flames and divine power.
The Red Flame Arch-God took action.
Other empire Arch-Gods didn't take any action, but prepared to defend themselves from other Arch-Gods.
The Alliance forces' Arch-Gods were happy to watch. If even the Red Flame Arch-God couldn't resist the Martial Emperor, they would immediately retreat.
"Great, let them fight! This way we can evaluate the Martial Emperor's strength if these Arch-Gods go into full combat, it would be even better if a few of them die. I wonder if we should stir the pot and magnify the conflict!"
The Dragon Clan's head expressed with excitement.
"Just enjoy the show, don't think about joining in. None of these human race Arch-Gods are easy to handle."
Real Phoenix Demon Saint spoke coldly.
The sky was filled with flames, swirling into a roaring river that engulfed Chu Yuan. The Red Flame Arch-God demonstrated absolute power once he made a move.
Chu Yuan gazed coldly at the Red Flame Arch-God. An unequivocal aura of an Undisputed Human Emperor burst forth.
He was the master of this place. In the face of the fiery onslaught, he hadn't moved an inch, standing firmly in his place.
The Red Flame Arch-God was enraged by Chu Yuan's dismissive attitude. Chu Yuan had killed Arch-Gods, but so had he. And yet, Chu Yuan ignored his attack completely.
Was this a sign of contempt?
"You will pay for this!"
The Red Flame Arch-God growled.
But then, the unexpected happened.
When the flames reached Chu Yuan, they seemed to encounter their nemesis, collapsed before they could burn him. They were dissipated by a force and vanished completely; not a trace was left.
"The Great Fire Technique!"
The Red Flame Arch-God's pupils constricted sharply.
He attacked again, sending waves of his fiery power washing over Chu Yuan.
But Chu Yuan simply stood there, the onslaught of flames never coming close to him, collapsing and disappearing instead.
"The Red Flame Arch-God's power can't even get close to him!"
"What divine power has this Martial Emperor acquired? Why did he become so strong, so quickly? It's unbelievable and unfathomable."
The Arch-Gods all sounded astonished.
No one doubted the might of the Martial Emperor, but to reach this level, it was beyond comprehension. After all, the Red Flame Arch-God was not a weakling. Among the Arch-Gods, he was considered quite formidable and was known to have killed other Arch-Gods.
But his power, before the Martial Emperor, was utterly non-existent.
Reviewing the history of Dawu's development, it appeared as if they had somehow cheated the laws of the heavens.
"Red Flame Holy Fist!"
Despite the grim expression on his face, the Red Flame Arch-God was infuriated. The more nonchalant the Martial Emperor was, the more incensed he became. His fire powers grew increasingly violent, aimed to take down the man before him.
He punched out twice, each punch signifying the power of the Fen Tian (Burn Heaven).
The aura of Chu Yuan shocked the heavens and the eight wastelands.
With a wave of his hand, all the flames were dispersed by a violent wind. His opponent's fire could not burn fiercely, nor could it scorch the heavens.
Chu Yuan coldly looked at him and said, "Enough fighting. It's time for you to die."
