Waiting for death.
Immortal Emperor Can Ye, in an extremely arrogant manner, left a parting sentence and vanished with a light step.
Xia Feng leaped up and sat on the rooftop of the secret chamber, appearing to wait patiently.
The four figures below exchanged glances, each seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.
"Xia Feng, since you're prepared to challenge Immortal Emperor Can Ye, we won't make things difficult for you. I'm just curious, what makes you think you can challenge an Immortal Emperor?"
Seeing Xia Feng's composed demeanor, Lei Zhenghao couldn't fathom the source of his confidence.
Furthermore, there was nothing more to say between them and Xia Feng. Everything would be addressed once Immortal Emperor Can Ye arrived.
As for whether Xia Feng would emerge alive from Can Ye Gate, they had no doubts.
The outcome of attempting to challenge an Immortal Emperor was self-evident.
"You'll understand shortly," Xia Feng said faintly, closing his eyes to meditate.
Seeing Xia Feng's reluctance to speak, Lei Zhenghao wisely fell silent, now just waiting for Immortal Emperor Can Ye's personal arrival.
Time passed quickly. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through Can Ye Gate. Xia Feng opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
A white silhouette flashed in the distance, instantly arriving at Can Ye Gate.
Immortal Emperor Can Ye had arrived.
Upon Immortal Emperor Can Ye's arrival, the four members of Can Ye Gate bowed respectfully.
Immortal Emperor Can Ye ignored the four, his sharp gaze fixed on Xia Feng, a look of surprise on his face as he spoke in astonishment, "Early stage Immortal Emperor, who are you?"
Early stage Immortal Emperor?
Hum...
Lei Zhenghao and the others' minds buzzed. Xia Feng was an Immortal Emperor?
Damn it...
No wonder Xia Feng was so calm, not paying them any mind, because he simply disdained to act against them.
Especially Shen You, whose eyes widened. For an Immortal Emperor to engage in such a 'playing the pig to eat the tiger' act was truly a betrayal of the title 'Immortal Emperor.'
The four immediately lost all their spirit, feeling as though they had just walked back from the gates of hell.
If Xia Feng had made a move against them, their corpses would already be growing cold, the four lying neatly on the slabs.
"Xia Feng," Xia Feng stated calmly.
"No wonder you dared to challenge me." Immortal Emperor Can Ye retracted his previous arrogant attitude. An Immortal Emperor deserved respect.
Xia Feng glanced at Immortal Emperor Can Ye's cultivation level and said calmly, "Mid-stage Immortal Emperor. I didn't expect you to have broken through to the mid-stage Immortal Emperor in just a few million years. This is indeed surprising."
This was something Xia Feng hadn't anticipated.
The more this was the case, the more a surge of excitement arose within Xia Feng.
"It was just good fortune; I only broke through not long ago." Immortal Emperor Can Ye fanned himself, the two conversing like old friends catching up.
Before arriving, Immortal Emperor Can Ye had looked down on Xia Feng. Now, seeing Xia Feng as an Immortal Emperor as well, this sense of equal footing began to emerge within him.
"This is not the place for a fight. Let's go," Xia Feng said, flying off into the distance, transforming into a dot that vanished from everyone's sight.
Immortal Emperor Can Ye naturally had no objections. This was still his mountain gate. If two Immortal Emperors clashed, and control was lost, the entire Can Ye Gate would be destroyed, resulting in countless casualties.
Immortal Emperor Can Ye sheathed his fan and pursued in Xia Feng's direction.
Watching the two disappear, Shen You looked at Lei Zhenghao and asked, "Ancestor, this... what should we do?"
"What else can we do? The battle between Immortal Emperors is beyond our intervention. This matter is not your fault. As an Immortal Emperor, for Xia Feng to deceive us is like toying with fools," Lei Zhenghao said, glancing at Shen You.
Shen You remained silent after hearing this. It was indeed like toying with fools.
Xia Feng arrived at a deserted mountaintop, standing proudly. Immortal Emperor Can Ye appeared before him moments later.
"This is the first time I've fought in millions of years. Since breaking through to Immortal Emperor, I haven't made a move," Immortal Emperor Can Ye said calmly.
Three million seven hundred thousand years ago, he had broken through to Immortal Emperor, and since then, no one had been worthy of his attention.
He was the only Immortal Emperor on the Dark Void Continent, so he couldn't exactly travel to other continents to seek out fights.
Now, Xia Feng's appearance filled him with fighting spirit.
"Me too," Xia Feng said faintly.
In the past, he was merely beating up juniors, which hardly counted as a fight.
If you crush an ant, would you consider that you just fought a great battle?
The two, like old acquaintances sharing a mutual appreciation, recounted their past experiences.
"Come, let us have a hearty battle then."
Immortal Emperor Can Ye finished speaking and sheathed his fan.
"Alright." Xia Feng became serious for the first time, his fighting spirit ablaze.
Suddenly, the entire sky darkened. An immensely powerful fighting spirit spread out from around the two. The surrounding wild beasts, terrified, fled in all directions like startled birds. To them, it felt as though the end of the world was about to descend.
Their auras collided in the air, producing crackling sounds.
In that instant, both figures vanished, reappearing on their respective battlefields. Immortal Emperor Can Ye raised his palm towards the sky, as if capable of pulling the clouds from the horizon. A powerful aura descended from above, rapidly sealing off the area around Xia Feng.
Xia Feng did not yield. His entire body surged with immortal energy, as if eager to burst forth, his cells vibrating to their extreme.
Facing the incoming attack from Immortal Emperor Can Ye, Xia Feng chose to ignore it, as he could clearly discern that this move by Immortal Emperor Can Ye would not affect him.
Xia Feng condensed his palm, as if pulling lightning from the sky. Immediately, thunder and lightning crackled, and an aura that roared through the heavens locked onto Immortal Emperor Can Ye.
Bang...
Their initial clash unleashed a massive wave of energy from the center point, flattening the surrounding mountaintops and filling the area with smoke and dust.
However, at the epicenter of the collision, both figures remained unharmed. Despite the immense power generated, neither sustained any actual damage.
As the two Immortal Emperors clashed, streaks of extraordinary multicolored auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, spreading across the entire Dark Void Continent.
It had been countless years since anyone had witnessed an Immortal Emperor's battle.
The anomaly in the sky was sufficient proof of the terrifying strength of the two Immortal Emperors.
It was evident from this that the power of an Immortal Venerable was vastly inferior to that of an Immortal Emperor, utterly incomparable.
The strange phenomena in the sky spread outwards. Distant cultivators all ascended into the air, gazing intently in the direction of the anomaly.
The four Immortal Venerables of Can Ye Gate did the same, exchanging glances as if to signal to each other that the battle had commenced.
"Sect Leader Shen, what happened?"
Three Immortal Venerables flew towards Shen You from different directions, their eyes filled with profound confusion.
"Immortal Emperor Can Ye is fighting someone," Shen You said calmly.
Hiss...
Immortal Emperor Can Ye made a move?
"Then the opponent?" One of them revealed a look of terror in his eyes.
"One who can make an Immortal Emperor make a move is naturally also an Immortal Emperor," Shen You replied with a calm expression, though a deep tension was evident in his eyes.
This was the first time he felt worried for Immortal Emperor Can Ye.
The three Immortal Venerables who arrived later changed their expressions drastically.
Another Immortal Emperor had appeared on the Dark Void Continent?
