165 – First Battle Against Nine Nether! Discussing Quasi-Immortals!

“I wonder if Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger can defend against the anomaly’s curse…”

Wang Ping silently pondered in his heart.

If it can defend against the anomaly’s curse, then it could be used on Bai Tianhong.

By then, as long as he can kill the anomaly within three seconds, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Of course, it’s exceedingly difficult to kill an Emperor of Judgement, a quasi-immortal level figure, within three seconds.

Unless he becomes a true immortal, he wouldn’t have a chance…

“Wait… It seems I’m also caught in this situation…”

Wang Ping suddenly thought of something, his face changed, a chill surfacing in his heart.

Back when he was on the Profound Turtle Continent, he had killed people.

The one he remembered deeply was Ye Chen’s first Ring Grandpa.

Wang Ping didn’t know who he really was, but he was also someone from the Profound Turtle Continent and could possibly have the bloodline of the Emperor of Judgement.

After all, there were no rules stating that the anomaly’s power could only affect direct descendants or those with a strong bloodline.

It’s possible that even branched or hidden bloodline relatives could be affected.

In the end, so many years have passed on the Profound Turtle Continent, and nobody knows how many generations the bloodline has been inherited through or how many people possess it…

“Brother Wang, what’s wrong with you? Why did your expression suddenly become so serious?”

Cai Yonglong noticed the obvious change in Wang Ping’s expression and was somewhat surprised.

“Cai, your Golden Finger might be of great use…”

Wang Ping patted Cai Yonglong’s shoulder, sighing.

He had genuinely overlooked this previously, but now that he thought about it, it indeed posed a considerable hidden danger.

If he disregarded this matter, there might really be trouble in the future.

Even if he escaped to another world, the curse might be triggered and he could be controlled by the anomaly.

As for relying on future simulations to reveal the anomaly and thereby understand the situation…

Sorry, that’s very unlikely.

Given his character, knowing the power of the anomaly, he wouldn’t give the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao a chance to release the anomaly.

And if the anomaly isn’t released, the other party would never be able to fully control the Emperor of Judgement’s body, either unable to activate their ability or completely incapable of activating it… He would truly become a deadly hidden time bomb.

“Uh…”

Cai Yonglong seemed puzzled, unsure why Wang Ping suddenly brought this up.

His Golden Finger did indeed have significant utility, but not to this extent…

After all, Brother Wang had evaluated it earlier.

Wang Ping smiled, looking at the puzzled Cai Yonglong and Chi Feng, but didn’t explain anything. Instead, he walked towards Bai Tianhong.

“Tianhong, do you want to know about your origins?”

Wang Ping said to Bai Tianhong.

This made Bai Tianhong, who was practicing his sword near the waterfall, pause and notice Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong walking towards him, somewhat surprised.

“Greetings, Supreme Elder. Supreme Elder, do you already know about my origins?”

Bai Tianhong bowed and said excitedly.

“Mm. But it’s cumbersome to explain, so I’ll just instill it in you.”

Wang Ping shook his head slightly, then gently tapped Bai Tianhong’s forehead with his finger.

Instantly, a multitude of information about the Purple Spirit Realm was infused into Bai Tianhong’s mind through Wang Ping.

He didn’t hide anything regarding Bai Tianhong’s heritage or the past of the Emperor of Judgement.

“I’m… actually a descendant of the Emperor of Judgement?”

Bai Tianhong, recovering from the revelation, was shocked, never expecting his background to be so astonishing, or that such terrifying battles had occurred in the past.

“Supreme Elder, I wish to follow you for training, I want to become stronger!”

Bai Tianhong took a deep breath and requested earnestly.

“Not now.”

Wang Ping shook his head, refusing.

Taking Bai Tianhong out would have no purpose.

His reason for coming and doing these things was merely out of interest.

“I see…” Bai Tianhong felt somewhat regretful.

However, he didn’t give up the notion of leaving.

If the Elder was unwilling to take him out, then he would cultivate diligently to go out on his own.

“When I have slain the great enemy, you can truly embark on the path of cultivation. Rest assured, this time will not be too far off.”

Wang Ping spoke these words and then left with Cai Yonglong and Chi Feng.

After Wang Ping and the others left, Bai Tianhong came to his senses and bowed deeply in the direction where Wang Ping disappeared.
Next, Wang Ping visited some places on the Profound Turtle Continent and met with a few people like Xia Yuan, who he was somewhat familiar with.

Finally, Wang Ping looked at the setting sun, preparing to leave the Profound Turtle Continent.

If he stayed any longer, the old turtle would get impatient.

“System, if I conduct a Paid Simulation, what resources will it consume?”

However, before leaving, Wang Ping asked the Life Simulator in his mind about the price of the new fee.

Without simulating once, Wang Ping felt unsafe.

Of course, Wang Ping also knew he couldn’t afford the resources needed for a Paid Simulation right now and planned to conduct a Free Simulation.

He just asked about the price of the Paid Simulation first to have a rough idea and to plan what to do next.

“Ding, it has been detected that the host’s cultivation level has reached the first level of the Emperor Realm. A Paid Simulation requires the consumption of ten King Weapons or one Emperor Weapon.”

The System’s voice rang out.

“It doesn’t need spirit liquid anymore? But ten King Weapons and one Emperor Weapon for one simulation… this price is exorbitant.”

Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

A King Weapon, in the Purple Spirit Realm, is only nourished by a king’s life-bound weapon, supplemented with various materials for growth, and finally transformed into a weapon after a heavenly tribulation.

As for an Emperor Weapon, there’s no need to say more; it’s even more precious.

The price of ten King Weapons definitely can’t compare to one Emperor Weapon.

Of course, King Weapons and Emperor Weapons can be refreshed through rewards, but there’s a probability issue in the refresh.

If you choose an Emperor Weapon as a reward, you can simulate again.

However, sometimes the refresh reward options aren’t necessarily two; choosing an Emperor Weapon means you can’t choose the other, and the gain isn’t that big.

The only gain might be various insights into cultivation.

After all, although Free Simulations are immersive, they don’t provide rewards or insights.

Wait… something isn’t right…

“System, are Free Simulations immersive too? Can they provide insights?”

Wang Ping asked in his mind.

“No. Although there will be insights during the simulation, they will disappear when the simulation ends.”

The System’s voice rang out.

“Alright, free things indeed have no good goods… they really don’t want me to gain any advantage…”

Wang Ping couldn’t help but complain, though he wasn’t surprised by the answer.

“Free simulations are still only a tool for gathering information. And to continue conducting Paid Simulations, collecting a large number of King Weapons and Emperor Weapons is an issue.” Wang Ping frowned, pondering.

However, he didn’t regret choosing cultivation previously.

Although not choosing cultivation might allow him to simulate a few more times, hoping to refresh some higher talents…

But that could only be refreshed a few times.

With the selectable rewards chosen, ultimately, cultivation would be the only choice.

Moreover, Wang Ping knew the Life Simulator’s temperament; after a high-level talent appears once, it wouldn’t appear again for a while—all would be green and white trash talents.

Besides, without choosing cultivation, he really wouldn’t feel safe, always feeling like he could be killed by Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this fellow transmigrator.

“Forget it, think about this later. Now, I need to use a Free Simulation to experiment with a guess and see if that guy Chu Xiao has the ability to catch me.”

“System, I want to conduct a Free Simulation.”

Wang Ping thought for a moment, then said in his mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, the System’s voice rang out: “Ding, Life Simulator activated, Free Simulation starting.”

Immediately, his consciousness blurred, and Wang Ping knew he was now in an immersive simulation state.

“System, fast-forward for me.”

Wang Ping thought for a moment, then spoke.

Instantly, the familiar screen appeared, and text floated up.

【Day One, you tore through space, leaving the Profound Turtle Continent with Cai Yonglong. Shortly after you left, you were caught by Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.】

【Seeing Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, you clearly realized something. Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao definitely obtained some precise means of finding you through the second-generation chat group of transmigrators… it’s just that this means haven’t been achieved in your simulation, so they didn’t appear in previous Life Simulations.】

【For this reason, despite your heavy heart, you’re very glad you chose cultivation. Otherwise, if you were caught by Nine Nether Demon Emperor, you’d surely be ambushed at the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, causing great trouble.】

At this point in the text simulation, numerous scenes appeared in Wang Ping’s mind. His vision shifted, appearing in the chaotic space currents.

On the opposite side, there were two figures, one black and one white.

The leader was indeed Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, the ‘fellow transmigrator’ he dreamed of killing.

As for the white-robed person behind him, it was obviously the second Emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, the White Demon Emperor.

“Nine Nether Demon Emperor, why are you blocking my way?”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he guarded Cai Yonglong and Chi Feng, speaking coldly.

Although this simulation was to explore and test, the scenario he feared the most had still occurred.

Honestly, it’s very troublesome.

In this simulation, there was no way to use other means.
Otherwise, Wang Ping could totally call for backup and see if he could trap and kill Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.

With the combined Golden Fingers of Cai Yonglong, Chen Kang, Chen Si, Wu Jun, and Liu Mei, Wang Ping felt that while the probability of killing this guy was small, it still existed.

Even if they couldn’t kill him, they could at least escape.

However, Wang Ping didn’t want to play all his cards just yet.

After all, if Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger remained hidden, it might produce unexpected results in the future.

“Junior, I am merely here to invite you to visit my Nine Nether Demon Sect as a guest. Are you willing?”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

To be honest, he was quite surprised that Wang Ping’s cultivation had reached the level of an Emperor.

For someone to reach the Emperor Realm and still keep a low profile without becoming famous was indeed cautious enough.

Because of this, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao believed that Wang Ping had hidden his strength in the earlier events using some method.

Otherwise, in just half a month’s time, it would be impossible for someone to advance from Great Perfection Nirvana Realm to the Emperor Realm.

Besides that, there was another matter that particularly bothered him, casting a shadow over his heart.

That was, for some unknown reason, he suddenly lost contact with the chat group and couldn’t summon it anymore.

This made him suspect that the group master might have kicked him out of the chat group.

However, this possibility was very low, since he hadn’t offended the group master, and there was no reason to be kicked out.

Having lost contact with the outside world, he naturally wouldn’t spare Wang Ping. The sooner he dealt with this unstable factor, the sooner he could find peace.

“If I say I’m not willing, then what?”

Wang Ping squinted, ready to take action at any moment.

“Then you die.”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao said coldly.

“You’re not capable.”

Wang Ping responded with a cold voice.

As he spoke, Wang Ping summoned the Blaze Emperor Tower and let its Emperor Weapon source self-destruct without hesitation.

In an instant, a terrifying explosion swept through the chaotic space, making it even more turbulent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ping immediately used his self-created Secret Technique to tear through space once again, attempting to escape.

The cold-faced Nine Nether Demon Emperor effortlessly suppressed the chaotic energy from the Blaze Emperor Tower’s explosion.

Meanwhile, Wang Ping noticed an anomaly in the space.

No matter how he tore through the space, he couldn’t escape the area.

The other party had used some technique to distort and seal this space.

Though Wang Ping had been mentally prepared for this ruthless senior from the past, the opponent’s methods still caused his heart to sink.

At this moment, Wang Ping noticed that the second Emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, White Demon Emperor, had not taken action, only standing quietly at the rear holding a pitch-black formation disk and watching him coldly.

“That formation disk is what’s blocking my escape.”

This thought flashed through Wang Ping’s mind as he began to plan his escape.

“This Emperor told you, you cannot escape. However, this Emperor can give you another chance. Return to the Nine Nether Demon Sect with me, and I might spare your life.”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor’s cold voice sounded as he suddenly struck toward Wang Ping.

In an instant, a black handprint appeared, carrying terrifying power.

Wang Ping’s expression changed as he exerted all his strength to use his Divine Abilities to block this terrifying strike and protect Cai Yonglong.

In both realms, those who had reached Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm were not simple characters.

Among these powerful individuals, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao was definitely among the top tier.

Even though Wang Ping’s self-created cultivation techniques and Divine Abilities were superior to those of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, the gap in cultivation levels was too great; he stood no chance against him.

With just one strike, Wang Ping’s face turned pale, his body cracked, and he spat blood. His Emperor Realm aura weakened considerably.

However, Wang Ping barely managed to block the attack, preventing Chi Feng and Cai Yonglong from falling.

“Heh, to be able to withstand a casual strike from me, you have some skill. Life and death are a mere thought away. What will you choose?”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, with terrifying Nine Nether demonic energy appearing in his palms as he spoke coldly.

“You’ve cultivated to Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, founded the Nine Nether Demon Sect, and are known as the Nine Nether Demon Emperor… Do you really think an Emperor would bow and scrape to survive when facing death?”

After recovering his injuries, Wang Ping taunted.

“An Emperor is also human, and humans feel fear. Why wouldn’t they choose to survive?”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao wasn’t bothered by Wang Ping’s taunts, remaining cold.

By giving Wang Ping a chance and conversing with him, did he really think he was wasting time and breath?

While Wang Ping was buying time and looking for an opportunity to escape, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao was also stalling, planning to completely kill Wang Ping.

He was a cautious and ruthless man. When he made a move, it was always a lethal one, not giving his opponent any chance of survival.

Even though his power far surpassed Wang Ping’s, and he had trapped Wang Ping here, other Emperors would already consider Wang Ping dead.

But not him. Even when hunting a Nirvana Realm ant, he would meticulously arrange multiple setups to ensure total elimination.

Especially since Wang Ping was a transmigrator like him, with unknown cards up his sleeve, he had to be careful and plan meticulously.
Besides, it’s worth a try. If it succeeds, he’ll be happy. If it fails, he doesn’t care. After all, it’s just a matter of talking.

Next, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor didn’t say much and continued his actions.

Wang Ping could see that this guy wasn’t using his true strength, probing him step by step, intending to utterly kill him in the end.

Otherwise, with the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Chu Xiao could really kill him in a single strike or force him to make Cai Yonglong use his Golden Finger’s abilities.

The gap in their cultivation is too big, and he doesn’t have his own exclusive Emperor Weapon. The difference in combat power is tremendous.

As thoughts flooded his mind, Wang Ping made a choice.

With a solemn expression, Wang Ping directly ignored the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s attacks and swiftly charged toward the White Demon Emperor.

The White Demon Emperor’s cultivation was merely around the third level of the Emperor Realm, not a match for him. He had hope of shattering the formation disk and escaping.

“Divine Ability: Purgatory Ghost Blade!”

Seeing Wang Ping turn his back, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao snorted coldly. A pitch-black long blade appeared in his hand, and he fiercely slashed at Wang Ping.

Terrifying blade energy erupted, like the purgatory of the Nether forest. Scenes of the Nine Nether Ghost Domain emerged, carrying boundless death energy, slashing towards Wang Ping.

Facing this strike, let alone a newly ascended Emperor like Wang Ping, even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, like the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, would have their origin heavily damaged if they dared to turn their back against it.

However, Wang Ping truly ignored it completely.

As the strike was about to land on Wang Ping, an energy barrier, not particularly sturdy, appeared.

Under normal circumstances, this energy barrier could at most defend against attacks of a certain level. It couldn’t possibly withstand the full-force strike of an Emperor like the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.

Yet, this improbable scenario occurred.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s full-force strike landed on the energy barrier, having no effect, only causing some ripples.

Instead, this terrifying strike accelerated Wang Ping’s speed, allowing him to approach the White Demon Emperor even faster.

“What ability is this?”

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao frowned.

Through Brother Dao and Wang Ping’s battles, he knew Wang Ping possessed various strange abilities.

Things like Weakness and Imprisonment, abilities that defied logic.

Of course, it was also possible these abilities weren’t Wang Ping’s but those of other descendants of transmigrators. This would explain why Wang Ping brought so many weak individuals on his missions.

This time’s ability might also belong to Cai Yonglong, this weak descendant of a transmigrator.

Regardless of whose these abilities were, they were too anomalous. They could grant a fragile energy barrier the defensive power to withstand his full-force strike.

Indeed, something strange happened to the third generation of the chat group. These descendants of transmigrators seemed to possess some unknown terrifying abilities.

Various thoughts flashed through the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s mind as he continued his assault on Wang Ping.

However, no matter how powerful his attacks were, he couldn’t break through this energy barrier.

“Die!”

At this moment, Wang Ping shouted angrily, swinging his sword at the White Demon Emperor, unleashing a full-force strike.

His path was complex, with illusion-type divine abilities being most effective in disrupting enemies and creating killing opportunities.

Thus, under normal circumstances, Wang Ping had some confidence in killing the White Demon Emperor with one strike.

However, the current situation was far from a normal Emperor battle. Facing Wang Ping’s terrifying sword, the White Demon Emperor, though briefly trapped in an illusion, still wore a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, holding the formation disk, unmoved.

“Clang!”

The next moment, Wang Ping’s sword was blocked by a pitch-black barrier, unable to penetrate it, and even spatial divine abilities couldn’t pass through.

“!!!”

Wang Ping’s pupils contracted.

Although he had anticipated it wouldn’t be that simple, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s preparation still impressed him.

This guy went all out to kill him.

Whether it was the black formation disk that sealed space in the spatial turbulence, making it impossible for an Emperor who excelled in spatial divine abilities to escape, or the energy barrier that could defend against his full-force strike, these weren’t ordinary artifacts. Even Emperors would envy them.

“I told you, you can’t escape. If this is all you have, then perish.”

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao snorted coldly, attacking again.

But this time, it wasn’t an offensive divine ability but a binding one.

In the Ghost Domain Formation, countless fierce ghosts began to emerge, pouncing towards Wang Ping. Ghostly energy formed chains, sealing everything around Wang Ping.

Invincible defense might seem powerful, but as long as he’s bound, he’s nothing but a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Can you maintain this ability indefinitely?

Everything has its limits. It’s impossible to stay in an invincible defensive state forever.

“You win. But, capturing me alive is impossible.”

Wang Ping sighed, acknowledging this defeat at the hands of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.

At this moment, Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger’s duration had ended. He had no chance left to escape.

In fact, from the moment the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao caught him, there was no chance of escape.

This guy’s attacks were lethal, leaving no room for him to survive.

It seemed his earlier thoughts of being able to maneuver and escape after becoming an Emperor were too naive.

Against a normal Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm expert, he could indeed rely on spatial divine abilities to escape.

But facing the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, a ‘senior transmigrator,’ he truly couldn’t escape.

“Since you’ve accepted your fate, then die. White Demon, take action.”
Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao coldly smiled and spoke to the White Demon Emperor.

He could sense that the strange barrier had already disappeared.

This meant that Wang Ping would no longer be able to block their deadly moves.

However, even though he had driven Wang Ping to a desperate situation, he had no intention of killing Wang Ping personally.

No one knew if Wang Ping had the ability to take his target down with him.

This was not impossible because Wang Ping, like him, was not an ordinary cultivator but one who was connected to the myriad worlds.

And such tools for mutual destruction existed in these myriad worlds, so he had to be cautious.

Following Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s command, the White Demon Emperor immediately released a black bead that had accumulated enough terrifying power, shooting a dreadful black beam towards Wang Ping.

This strike was extremely terrifying, enough to heavily injure a top Great Perfection Emperor.

Faced with this terrifying strike, Wang Ping was killed without any suspense.

A strike that could heavily injure a Great Perfection Emperor was not something Wang Ping could withstand at this moment.

He couldn’t dodge either, as he had already been restricted by this guy, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, making it difficult to escape.

“Just died like that?”

Seeing Wang Ping’s soul and body swallowed by the black light, leaving not even a trace of dust, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao frowned and stared at Wang Ping’s fallen place with a somewhat subtle feeling.

He had prepared so many trump cards to deal with Wang Ping, thinking that Wang Ping would have numerous countermeasures against him.

Turns out that aside from that pitifully short-lived defensive barrier, Wang Ping didn’t display any other extraordinary means or trump cards from the myriad worlds… not a single one.

“It seems I overestimated you.”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao frowned, muttering to himself.

Although he didn’t know how far the third-generation chat group had developed, Wang Ping should not have been an important figure in the third-generation chat group.

This time, he had used a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Although Wang Ping wasn’t a chicken but a powerful emperor, in his eyes, he wasn’t much. Using so many methods was a waste.

After all, those items were very expensive.

However, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao had no intention of leaving directly. He continued casting powerful divine abilities to bombard Wang Ping’s location for nearly an hour to prevent Wang Ping from faking his death.

For transmigrators like them, finishing off the enemy was a compulsory course.

“Master Chu Xiao, although we’ve locked down this space, your full-force attack has caused such a commotion that probably an emperor has noticed. We must leave immediately.”

The White Demon Emperor was already used to such nearly pathological finishing behaviors of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and reminded him.

“Those old guys, their noses are still so sharp.”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao continued to bombard the area another time before stopping, coldly snorting.

“Let’s go.”

With that, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and the White Demon Emperor created a spatial passage, quickly leaving the area.

Not long after Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and the White Demon Emperor left, figures started appearing with the fluctuations of space.

The Sky Emperor of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, the Emperor of the sea clan, some reclusive emperors, and the Purple Thunder Emperor of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land also arrived.

In addition, the spiritual sense of the Profound Turtle extended over.

“The aura of Nine Nether Demon Emperor and the White Demon Emperor… besides that, there’s also an aura of another emperor, but it seems he has already fallen.”

The Sky Emperor spoke with a serious expression.

“Nine Nether has been low-key for so many years, finally resurfacing? And as soon as he appears, he slaughters an emperor.”

The Purple Thunder Emperor also wore a serious expression, with a hint of dread in his eyes.

The way Nine Nether Demon Emperor operated was too ruthless and brutal, but his strength was excessively formidable. Three thousand years ago, he was already capable of entering the top twenty in the Purple Spirit Realm.

He didn’t know how strong he was now, but he was sure that he wasn’t the opponent. If they really fought, he might be killed by the opponent in a short time.

“Alas, I didn’t expect Nine Nether Demon Emperor to target him. It seems I shouldn’t have let him leave in such a hurry.”

The voice of the Profound Turtle echoed.

“Senior Profound Turtle, do you know this fallen emperor?”

Hearing the Profound Turtle speak, the emperors were surprised and curiously asked.

“To say I know him isn’t accurate. Old Turtle just knows he suddenly appeared on my back as a newly-promoted emperor. The way he appeared even surprised me; there were no spatial fluctuations, just appearing out of thin air.”

“However, to avoid interfering with the seal, I made him leave my back quickly. I didn’t expect that he would be attacked and killed by Nine Nether Demon Emperor and the White Demon Emperor right after he left.”

“A newly-promoted emperor…”

Hearing the Profound Turtle’s words, the emperors were surprised. They didn’t expect the other party was just a newly-promoted emperor.

But why would a newly-promoted emperor be attacked by Nine Nether Demon Emperor? And why would he bring the White Demon Emperor along to do it? This kind of treatment was something even they wouldn’t qualify to receive.

“I don’t know why Nine Nether Demon Emperor would attack him. Old Turtle just knows that his age shouldn’t be large, his life aura was extremely vigorous, definitely not over a thousand years old. An emperor less than a thousand years old, falling like this, is a huge loss for our Purple Spirit Realm.”

The Profound Turtle’s voice echoed again, filled with regret.

One had to admit, Nine Nether Demon Emperor’s means were indeed formidable. The location wasn’t too far from where he was, yet the three-emperor battle still didn’t allow him to detect the battle fluctuations immediately, making people wary.

“What? An emperor less than a thousand years old, how is that possible!”

The Sky Emperor and other emperors all had their pupils constrict, revealing shocked expressions.

It wasn’t that their composure was weak. Becoming an emperor was no simple task for anyone, but what the Profound Turtle said was too shocking, even making them lose their cool.
An emperor under a thousand years old… How is this even possible?

It’s known that in the Purple Spirit Realm, the record for the fastest attainment of the Nirvana Realm is fifteen hundred years.

Yet someone has become an emperor before a thousand years of age? This is utterly inconceivable.

If someone other than the Profound Turtle had said this, no one would believe it and would think that person was joking.

But since it was the Profound Turtle who said it, the credibility is exceedingly high.

The Profound Turtle, an ancient being surviving for hundreds of thousands of years, has an extraordinarily keen perception of life, and would never joke.

So, this means this mysterious newly ascended emperor has genuinely become one before the age of a thousand.

“This is truly a pity…”

The Sky Emperor and other emperors also sighed.

Considering the time, it’s only been a few thousand years since the borders of the two realms aligned.

If this newly ascended emperor hadn’t died, there might have been an additional force of Great Perfection Emperor Realm power in the future.

Even a quasi-immortal was within the realm of possibility, though the chance was slim. It was, nonetheless, a chance.

With such a powerful being present, they could have felt more secure when the two realms’ borders aligned again in the future.

But now, this potential had been snuffed out by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

“We must find a way to lure out and kill the Nine Nether Demon Emperor before the realms align again. We must uproot the Nine Nether Demon Sect completely, or the consequences will be dire. Who knows if he will attack other emperors next?”

The Heavenly Thunder Emperor said in a volatile tone.

“Indeed, we need to come up with a plan. Judging by the residual aura here, he has very likely reached the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, making him extraordinarily dangerous.”

The Sky Emperor also nodded.

Following this conversation, the sea race emperors and all the emperors from the Eastern Wilderness left the area.

The Profound Turtle also retracted its spiritual sense and continued its slumber.

Half an hour later, a figure appeared out of thin air in this area.

This figure was none other than Wang Ping.

“Good thing I had the Rebirth Talisman; otherwise, I really would have perished this time. Although it was a simulation, not being able to explore its full development was a bit regrettable.”

After resurrecting, Wang Ping murmured to himself.

Nonetheless, the gains this time were significant too; he learned many of the cards in Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s ‘transmigrator senior’ hand, which will be very beneficial for their next battle.

“Next, System, fast-forward, please.”

Wang Ping said in his mind.

“Ding, fast-forwarding…”

The System’s voice rang out again.

【After your resurrection, to prevent the Nine Nether Demon Emperor from discovering you hadn’t truly died and returning to finish the job, you chose to deliberately reveal your aura, attracting the returning emperors. Ultimately, both the Profound Turtle and the other emperors sensed your presence and returned, greatly surprised.】

【Curious about how you survived the Nine Nether Demon Emperor’s assault, you didn’t provide much explanation. Eventually, you expressed your desire to visit the Heavenly Sword Holy Land to discuss strategies against the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.】

【All the emperors agreed, except for the sea race emperors and the Profound Turtle; the other emperors went to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. They were very curious about you and all sought to make your acquaintance. You welcomed their company, conversing pleasantly and finally discussing plans against the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.】

【However, you did not act together immediately to hunt him down right away. You all determined that unless he was found, it would be impossible to eliminate him.】

【Meanwhile, on the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s side, he also discovered that you were still alive and guessed that you had some method of resurrection, which made him quite frustrated.】

【However, he wasn’t overly worried. Now that he had discerned your true strength and hidden trump cards, he believed he could easily kill you the next time he caught you.】

【However, what troubled him was that he only managed to acquire one Heavenly Mechanism Tracking Talisman, which he had already used to track your location earlier. Now, he no longer had the means to gamble on finding you again.】

“So that’s how he locked onto my location… He must have gotten such a precious item from other transmigrators of the second-generation chat group. This implies that the second-generation chat group has the capability to transport items…”

Wang Ping speculated as he reviewed the simulation content.

Of course, there’s also a chance that Chu Xiao obtained this item from the Purple Spirit Realm.

After all, this world does have the Tianji Pavilion capable of deducing the heavenly mechanisms.

“No, I remember one simulation where Chu Xiao sought me out, consulting with Tianji Pavilion. When Tianji Pavilion didn’t cooperate, he angrily destroyed it. This suggests that the Heavenly Mechanism Tracking Talisman was indeed obtained from other transmigrators.”

Wang Ping remembered the previous simulation details, confirming his guess.

It’s undeniable that immersive simulation and text simulation each have their strengths and weaknesses.

In text simulation, combat details are nonexistent, only vaguely describing the manner of death and the immense strength of the opponent.

However, the advantage of text simulation is the omniscient perspective; it can describe the opponent’s thoughts and broader events detached from Wang Ping’s point of view.

Immersive simulation doesn’t offer this; he cannot know what the opponent is thinking or what happens elsewhere, let alone understand others’ intentions.

“Heh, with the Life Simulator, as the simulations proceed, all your hidden cards will be exposed. Let’s see how you contend with me then.”

Wang Ping sneered within his heart and continued to read the simulation content.

【Shortly after, you left the Heavenly Sword Holy Land for the Eternal Frozen Wastes. Aside from this place, nowhere else in the Purple Spirit Realm gave you a sense of safety. You plan to continue seclusion there to cultivate and hone your skills until you reach the Seventh Layer of the Emperor Realm.】

【Once you reach the Seventh Layer of the Emperor Realm, combined with enhancements in other aspects, you will genuinely have no fear of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao. Although he is powerful, you will be able to face him head-on if your cultivation matches his.】

【Upon your arrival at the Eternal Frozen Wastes, you were detected by the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan. Nonetheless, she didn’t intend to leave her sanctuary, assuming that you, as a newly ascended emperor, were there merely to seek Pure Yin Power to train protégés. This had happened many times before, and she was accustomed to it.】

【However, when you directly requested to meet her, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan was surprised. Ultimately, after contemplating, she chose to manifest a projection to meet you.】

【You conversed extensively and even began to discuss Dao. The Ice Empress Ji Bingyan was amazed by your profound understanding of ice techniques, which surpassed her own, leading her to take an interest in you.】

【Eventually, you referred to each other as Daoist friends, growing closer in your relationship. You took the opportunity to express your intention to cultivate and comprehend the Dao in the Eternal Frozen Wastes.】
