The Peerless Emperor

A terrifying aura emanated from the bodies of the hundred thousand Blood Warriors as the demon's voice had hardly fallen, their entire unit already charging forward.

At the moment the demon surged out, the hundred thousand Blood Warriors swiftly followed behind.

The demon's speed hadn't burst to its full potential, for he needed to maintain unity with his subordinate troops.

Blood Devouring's crimson aura floated atop the pale yellow Huaxia attribute Soul Power, a matching attribute of Soul Power materialized, solidifying their combined force as though it were an indivisible iron plate.

Even though the distance between the Blood Warriors behind the demon gradually spread out, their aura remained resonant with one another.

As they closed in on the Mountain City ahead, the openings on it grew larger, though from afar they still appeared no larger than the size of a fingertip.

Up close, it became clear that each of those openings was, at the very least, seventy to eighty zhang in width and height.

"Be careful!" A member of the Black Corner Clan from the Awakening Realm cried out urgently to his kin as he beheld the approaching demon and Blood Warriors, the Soul Light in his chest flaring intensely.

After alerting the others about the crystal, the face of the Awakening Realm Black Corner Clan member twisted fiercely, his Soul Power tinged with a violent hue, hued both purple and black, surging out from his palms and coalescing into a purple-brown Soul Power spear, hurled towards the demon.

The Soul Power spear, screeching through the air, shot towards the demon's face.

Simultaneously, the racial Talent of the Black Corner Clan was employed, drawing in the surrounding nature's spiritual energy to the Soul Power spear flying in a spin towards the demon, enhancing its power.

The purple-black spear, slicing through the sky with its domineering power, crashed viciously towards the demon's face.

"Such a pathetic attack, how dare you shame yourself before me!" The demon's red eyes seemed to spit fire as he bellowed, lifting his Cold Moon Battle Blade to directly chop at the incoming purple-black spear.

The instance the blade's edge met the purple-black hued Soul Power spear, a blinding light erupted from the spear as the concentrated Soul Power within suddenly collapsed.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted unsettlingly, the purple-black spear exploded violently, the wild Soul Power instantly engulfing the demon's figure.

"Not good!" Yue Liqun, observing from a distance, exclaimed in shock upon seeing this scene.

The Black Corner Clan was extremely skilled in Soul Power, their control and attack strength with it far surpassed what their Realm could typically wield. Especially once Soul Power detached from the body and harnessed nature's spiritual energy, its might continued to climb.

The explosive power wielded by the Black Corner Clan member was evidently formidable; the demon taking the hit head-on would likely suffer no small injury.

Yet, Yue Liqun noticed that Lin Qian's face bore no hint of worry. Instead, there was a mocking look.

"Foolish Human Clan, to think you dare use a blade directly against my Bursting Purple Spear!" The successful Black Corner Clan member laughed loudly, drawing closer to the thick black smoke with his chest crystal shining brighter, his face revealing a cruel expression.

And in his hands, another Bursting Purple Spear was being condensed.

At that very moment, a large hand, clad in Metal Finger Guards and leather, suddenly emerged from the thick black smoke, shattering the Soul Power gathered in his chest and seizing the Black Corner Clan member's throat.

Following that, the Black Corner Clan member saw the burly demon emerge from within the dense black smoke, his body steaming as the heat dissipated the explosion's residual black smoke behind him.

Unable to make a sound with his throat clamped tightly, the Black Corner Clan member's eyes bulged as he took in the still gleaming armor on the demon, his gaze reflecting a flicker of despair.

At this moment, a smile spread across the demon's blood-red face, his rows of eerily white teeth on full display to the Black Corner Clan member.

"Are you trying to tickle me, you garbage!"

As the monster's words fell, his left hand suddenly exerted force and crushed the neck of the Black Corner Clan member, Soul Power surged into the opponent's body like a knife, shattering his heart and Dantian.

He flung away the dead Black Corner Clan member in his hand and coldly trained his eyes towards the Mountain City where the Black Corner Clan continued to surge out.

Since there was no Array protecting it anymore, it made no sense to stubbornly defend from inside the mountain. It would only damage the city.

In this case, even if they won the battle, the loss would be heavy.

In the eyes of the Black Corner Clan, the enemy had far fewer men than they did, with only the giant in front of them in the Awakening Realm.

The Black Corner Army, pouring out from the Mountain City, roared towards the monster and his group; the crystals of their Soul Devices flickered with dazzling light as Soul Power was infused into them.

The Soul Enhancing Crystal, a unique Soul Device of the Black Corner Clan, also served as their blade.

Once equipped, it could greatly enhance the attack power of their Soul Power.

Facing the Soul Power attacks of the Black Corner Clan, Xue Zhan didn't even bother to dodge. Swinging the war blade in his hand, he cleaved forward with wide, unrestricted strokes.

Would the Soul Power explode upon contact?

No problem, just take it head on.

Amid the billowing black smoke from a series of Soul Power explosions, Xue Zhan would often emerge unscathed and would continue to whirl his war blade, delivering a fierce slash to the astonished face of the Black Corner Clan member.

Even if the Black Corner Clan managed to muster up more Soul Power for defense at that moment, they still couldn't withstand the furious strike from Xue Zhan, whose single blow split their bodies in two.

And even if the Black Corner Clan was lucky enough to defend against Xue Zhan's attack with Soul Power, the vibration of the war blade hitting their Soul Power barrier could cause their internal organs to churn like turbulent waves, spurting out blood and wilting away.

In such a state, they couldn't withstand the following blow.

Over time, the Black Corner Clan members fighting Xue Zhan had lost their initial bravery and looked on in fear at the figure wrapped in heavy armor.

"AAAAH!" A Black Corner Clan member from the Life and Death Realm gathered his Soul Power rapidly, the glint of Soul Light from the Soul Enhancing Crystal on his chest never ceasing.

Like a madman, he swung his hands forward, and balls of Soul Power formed and hurtled towards a member of Xue Zhan's troop, exploding on impact while he roared, creating a continuous detonation.

However, when his hurled Soul Power Balls hit the member of Xue Zhan's troop, it had been considerably weakened after piercing through the Huaxia attribute Soul Power that protected the body. By the time it hit the heavy armor, it was nothing more than a rather pretty display of Soul Power fireworks.

And just like that, Xue Zhan brazenly advanced, enduring the rapid bombardment of the Black Corner Clan member's Soul Power, until he was standing right in front of him.

Xue Zhan's cold eyes stared at the Black Corner Clan member who was now in desperation and plunged his war blade straight through the enemy's body.

He pulled the war blade out of the fallen body and continued to rush towards another target.

The five spectators, including Yue Liqun, were terribly frightened by the scene before them.

Yue Liqun had never seen a force with such terrifying combat power before, and just as he was about to express his amazement, he heard Lin Qian sigh beside him.

"Indeed, the combat power is still too weak."

Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, Yue Liqun stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
