Chapter 2434: Chapter 2434: Another Breakthrough Under the Emperor’s Might

But next, Fang Bai found himself with a headache.

The three Emperor Realm experts were currently fighting fiercely, mountains collapsing, seas overturning, the void shattering, their imperial pressure shrouding all directions. For a little Immortal at the fifth-grade Immortal King Realm like him to try to communicate with the Great Luo Immortal Emperor was simply wishful thinking.

If he couldn’t establish contact with the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, how could he persuade him to go rescue the Moon Sea Sect?

"No choice—if I’m exposed, then so be it! For Qian Jiao’s sake, I have to give it everything!"

Fang Bai put away the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, lifted the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron with both hands, and quickly moved toward the battlefield of the three Emperor Realm experts.

The three Emperor Realm experts were fighting with all their might; the aura they released was as vast as a boundless sea, their pressure like a hundred thousand mountains.

Although Fang Bai’s physical body was formidable, and he had the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron protecting him, his cultivation level was ultimately too weak. As soon as he stepped into the area covered by the pressure of the three Emperor Realm experts, his figure immediately sank, the blood in his body boiling like scalding water, his bones giving off a faint "pa pa" cracking sound.

"Hold on! Hold on!"

Fang Bai roared inwardly, gritted his teeth, and raised the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron higher with force.

He stepped through the air, continuing forward, but the closer he got to the battlefield of the three Emperor Realm experts, the heavier the pressure he endured became, and his speed grew ever slower.

"Pa!"

With a soft sound, Fang Bai’s body burst open in a small crack, and a streak of blood sprayed out.

Immediately after, the "pa pa" sounds rang out continuously. Fang Bai’s body was like a balloon pierced by countless needles, jets of blood spurting out in threads.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Bai had become a man of blood.

However, Fang Bai’s blood contained Chaos True Qi and had fused with the Water of Life and other supreme treasures. It was far from comparable to the blood of ordinary Immortals. Although it spurted out and left Fang Bai’s body, it did not disperse in the wind, but instead coiled around him.

Amid the surging blood, Fang Bai closed the distance by quite a bit.

Fang Bai knew that as long as he could charge into within a hundred li of the battlefield of the three Emperor Realm experts, they would definitely notice this uninvited guest. At that time, the Great Luo Immortal Emperor might sense his aura and recognize him as an old Immortal friend from years past.

Only, at this moment Fang Bai was still two hundred li away from the battlefield of the three Emperor Realm experts. To advance another hundred li—how could that be easy?

Yet Fang Bai still clenched his teeth and held on.

He believed that with the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron here, his body wouldn’t be turned to dust beneath the pressure of Emperor Realm experts. No matter how heavy the injuries he suffered, he would be able to fully recover.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

After the blood spurted out, a series of faint explosions began to sound again as the muscles on Fang Bai’s body started to rupture and disintegrate.

After that, Fang Bai’s bones began to twist and fracture.

Dozens of breaths later, the flesh, muscles, and bones on Fang Bai’s body were less than one-tenth of what they had been. Only his head and heart remained, still intact under the protection of the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron.

During the process of his body collapsing and disintegrating, the pain was unbearable, but Fang Bai still gritted his teeth and endured it, forcing himself not to utter a single sound.

Having endured through the most painful stage, Fang Bai’s physical body began to reassemble at a speed visible to the naked eye. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

When the final drop of blood returned to Fang Bai’s body, sharp light burst from his eyes, and the aura within him began to surge crazily.

When that aura rose to a peak, it exploded with a thunderous boom inside Fang Bai’s body.

In that instant, Fang Bai broke through the barrier and advanced, his cultivation level rising from fifth-grade Immortal King Realm to sixth-grade Immortal King Realm.

The imperial pressure of the Emperor Realm had brought Fang Bai suffering akin to nine deaths and one life, but at the same time it bestowed upon him a tremendous chance, allowing him to break through in one stroke.

The changes occurring in Fang Bai finally drew the attention of the three Emperor Realm experts.

They hadn’t expected that an Immortal could actually approach the area covered by the pressure of the three Emperor Realm experts, and moreover, advance his realm in such a situation.

"Oh?"

When they discovered that this Immortal was only a little sixth-grade Immortal King Realm cultivator, they were all incredulous.

Under normal circumstances, a little sixth-grade Immortal King Realm Immortal would likely have been crushed to dust under their imperial pressure. Yet that Immortal was not only safe and sound, he had even managed to advance—how could they not find this unimaginable?

"Could it be because of that Great Cauldron..."

The next moment, the attention of the three Emperor Realm experts shifted to the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron Fang Bai was holding up with both hands.

As Emperor Realm experts, their eyesight was naturally extremely keen, and they had seen countless supreme treasures. Yet they had never seen this particular Great Cauldron before, nor could they discern its grade.

"Could it be a top-tier Emperor’s Instrument?"

The strength of these three Emperor Realm experts was only slightly inferior to that of the eight current top-tier Immortal Emperors. They thought to themselves, if even they couldn’t tell the grade of this Emperor’s Instrument, then it must surely be a top-tier Emperor’s Instrument like those used by the top-tier Immortal Emperors.

For a moment, the hearts of all three Emperor Realm experts pounded with desire.

The Emperor’s Instruments they used were indeed powerful, but compared to a top-tier Emperor’s Instrument, they still fell quite short. If they could possess such a top-tier Emperor’s Instrument, their combat strength could rise by several levels, and they could rightfully claim the title of the number one expert beneath the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors.

However, although the Great Luo Immortal Emperor was tempted, he harbored no intention of seizing it. Instead, he worried that the Immortal might fall victim to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor in front of him.

Just as this concern arose in his heart, he felt the pressure on his body lighten sharply—the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor had indeed abandoned their attacks on him and almost simultaneously lunged toward Fang Bai.

"Run!"

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor shouted toward Fang Bai, then swung his Zen Staff, sweeping it horizontally toward the Demon Emperor, who was just a step slower than the Demon Emperor.

He managed to stall the Demon Emperor, but failed to stop the Demon Emperor. He watched helplessly as the Demon Emperor crossed the void in a flash, appearing instantly before Fang Bai, then summoned an Immortal Essence Big Palm to seize Fang Bai.

As a dignified Immortal Emperor, he assumed that capturing a little sixth-grade Immortal King Realm Immortal would be effortless.

Yet just as his Immortal Essence Big Palm struck out, Fang Bai, cauldron and all, suddenly vanished from before his eyes.

The Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion and puzzlement flashing in his eyes. Could it be, he wondered, that the little Immortal had been reduced to dust by the pressure of his Immortal Essence Big Palm in an instant?

He immediately rejected that notion.

That little Immortal had been able to remain safe and sound under the pressure released during the battle between three Emperor Realm experts. How could he possibly be reduced to dust when facing only himself?

That Demon Emperor was no ordinary Immortal; he guessed that Fang Bai must have mastered some kind of concealment technique, hiding himself and the cauldron and thus evading his eyes.

Unwilling to accept this, he immediately released his Divine Sense, enveloping a radius of ten thousand li.

He thought that since Fang Bai was only a little sixth-grade Immortal King Realm cultivator, no matter how exquisite his concealment technique, it would be impossible to hide from his all-perceiving Divine Sense.

But after he swept his Divine Sense around once, he found nothing at all, as if Fang Bai had truly disappeared from between heaven and earth along with the cauldron.

"If this Emperor can’t get your Emperor’s Instrument, I might as well destroy you!"

Rage rose in the Demon Emperor’s heart. He was certain Fang Bai was still nearby, merely evading his Divine Sense with some ingenious method, so he swung that bone club of his, smashing it repeatedly into the surrounding void.
