"Greetings, Red Emperor." Su Yuan saluted again.
The Red Emperor’s gaze fell on Su Yuan, and the next moment, that hunched figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Yuan.
Su Yuan felt an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure surge towards him, as if he stood in a burning hell!
The searing and frightening pressure nearly made him unable to breathe!
"So strong!!"
A shocked tremor seized Su Yuan’s heart as he looked down, seeing below the Red Emperor’s wide robe a skinny and hunched body that seemed to contain unimaginable terror!
Unknowingly, beads of sweat had appeared on Su Yuan’s forehead.
"On the fire path... your talent is quite good." The Red Emperor spoke softly.
Su Yuan immediately understood; the Red Emperor had sensed his rapid advancement in the Fire Law, surpassing even his cultivation progress in the Space Law.
Su Yuan opened his mouth slowly, but even speaking was difficult!
As the Red Emperor slightly raised his head, the terrifying pressure suddenly vanished.
Above the sea, the wind was light, the clouds serene, as though everything had been a mere illusion...
But Su Yuan knew all too well it wasn’t an illusion.
The Red Emperor was very strong... extremely strong!
Su Yuan silently took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, said:
"I managed to gain some treasures in the Grey Realm, and had some lucky breakthroughs."
The Red Emperor looked at Su Yuan and slowly said, "Even with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, how much and how quickly one can absorb it all depends on the individual.
In just this short time since moving north, to reach such a level, your talent on the fire path is not much less than Qingxiao’s."
Su Yuan humbly replied, "The Red Emperor overpraises."
The Red Emperor said no more, turning to gaze out over the distant sea.
Seeing this, Su Yuan said no more.
"Go."
After a long silence, the Red Emperor spoke.
Su Yuan looked in the direction the Red Emperor faced, knowing from He Zheng’s information that it was one of the breakthrough directions towards the East Continent.
Moreover, it was close to the direction of Qiguang...
"I shall leave immediately."
With a bow, Su Yuan turned into a streak of silver light and shot ahead...
The Red Emperor’s gaze lingered on Su Yuan’s departing figure, before lifting slightly, his eyes burning fiercely.
Within the flame flickering eyes, the silhouettes of a man and a woman were reflected.
The man appeared valiant and tall, the woman sensuous and graceful.
These two, naturally not ordinary people if they could be caught in the Red Emperor’s gaze, were the two Emperor Level figures of the Hundred Battle Imperial Court!
Grey Realm, Hundred Battle Imperial Court.
High Level Royal Court—Huishuo Royal Court, closest to the East Continent.
The man and woman looked far across spaces at the Red Emperor with serious expressions.
"If this old man keeps staring, I really want to go meet him." Lamia’s lips curled into a seductive yet cold smile.
"Lamia, you better not make any rash moves." Beside her, Roland, with sharp eyes and steady demeanor, spoke in a fixed tone, "He’s very dangerous."
"Really? How dangerous? Haven’t several emperor levels from the Northern Continent either died, surrendered, or fled beneath us?"
Roland said, "This person isn’t on the same level as those earlier ones, even if I... no, even together, we aren’t sure we can handle him."
"Oh?" Lamia raised an eyebrow, then sneered, "Even together we can’t handle him? Roland, those words don’t sound like you..."
Roland did not argue further but said, "The Northern Continent is the weakest in this world, not only in personal strength but lacking any divine artifacts, naturally no match for us.
The other continents, and the Western Continent especially, are exceptionally mysterious, clearly present, yet we never find a way in.
And the East Continent, from the current situation, its foundation can’t compare to the North Continent.
As for the one ahead... it’s been a long time since I’ve met an opponent who made every cell in my body feel threatened!"
Upon hearing this, Lamia "looked" across the sea at the Red Emperor, frowned, and said nothing more.
