Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1015: What? You Dare Call Me Weak?
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
With a resounding boom!
An iron fist, its weight akin to a mountain, tore through the fabric of space. It descended with unparalleled might, a merciless blow aimed true.
Mountains shattered, the earth fractured, the heavens seemed to fall, and the ground gave way.
In that instant, it was as if the very end of the world had arrived.
The sheer force of that single punch was beyond imagination.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi, an Ancient Demon Emperor from the Primordial era, possessed a body of immense natural power. He had forged his path by seeking truth through strength, wielding vast and unyielding might. A mere casual punch from him was capable of instantly crushing an expert in the Divine King Realm!
"As expected of the Eastern Emperor, this power is truly fearsome!"
A man clad in black robes, hailing from the You Tianmo clan, spoke with an expression etched in horror.
The other two individuals present also appeared noticeably pale.
In days past, within the Demon World, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had sought out the You Tianmo clan. Through his formidable strength, he had conquered numerous experts within their ranks.
Consequently, the clan leader of the You Tianmo clan held the Eastern Emperor Taiyi in high regard and was willing to incur great expenses to have him dispatched here.
"This punch is quite intriguing!"
Observing Eastern Emperor Taiyi already unleashing his attack, Ye Yun's expression remained utterly composed. A faint smile graced his lips as he extended his hand, transforming his fist into an open palm to intercept the descending iron fist.
Ye Yun's shift from a fist to a palm wasn't due to any reluctance to engage Eastern Emperor Taiyi head-on.
Rather, it was because he bore in mind that his junior sister was currently in the midst of her training within the Grey Mist Sea. A direct clash of his fist against Eastern Emperor Taiyi's would inevitably generate shockwaves powerful enough to obliterate the entire Grey Mist Sea.
Ye Yun held no desire to disrupt his junior sister's cultivation.
Beyond his affection for his junior sister, he also harbored hopes of locating the main body of the Black Ming Divine Spider through her efforts.
"This Supreme God Sovereign must be intimidated by the Eastern Emperor!"
Witnessing Ye Yun's gesture of reaching out to grasp Eastern Emperor Taiyi's iron fist, another man in black robes let out a sneer.
In his estimation,
there was simply no possibility for a Supreme God Sovereign at the half-step God King Realm to contend with the might of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Let alone the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, this Supreme God Sovereign would never stand a chance against them either.
Thus, the three of them adopted a posture of relaxed detachment, observing the unfolding spectacle with leisurely amusement.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's brow furrowed slightly.
He harbored absolutely no underestimation towards the Ye Yun standing before him.
He understood with utmost clarity that the self-detonating Chaotic Bell, having been painstakingly reconstructed from fragments, had traversed immense distances to reach this very location...
This individual referred to as Supreme God Sovereign was undoubtedly far from the simple facade he presented.
Despite a nascent suspicion stirring within his mind, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's relentless punch did not falter, continuing its heavy descent.
The velocity of the punch was astonishingly swift.
Naturally, Ye Yun's own reactions were equally rapid, his palm meeting the incoming fist in mid-air.
*Poof!*
Ye Yun's palm successfully captured Eastern Emperor Taiyi's descending fist.
The immense power was instantly and decisively halted by Ye Yun, absorbed head-on.
"What? How can this be possible?"
A man garbed in black robes, observing from a distance, let out an exclamation of disbelief upon witnessing this turn of events.
The formidable power of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's punch was sufficient to easily subdue an expert in the Divine King Realm, yet this Supreme God Sovereign had nonchalantly intercepted it with a mere palm.
Just how potent was the strength vested in this palm?
"This Supreme God Sovereign is truly extraordinary; the power in his palm is both unyielding and gentle, capable of neutralizing such a ferocious strike from the Eastern Emperor Taiyi – it's simply beyond comprehension!"
Another man in black robes commented, his voice laced with a newfound seriousness.
In stark contrast to the three onlookers in black robes, the protagonist himself, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, was experiencing turbulent waves within his heart.
The destructive potential of his punch, even though he had only exerted one-fifth of his total strength, was something he understood intimately.
Yet, this Supreme God Sovereign, despite appearing to possess a cultivation base at the half-step God King Realm, had managed to manifest power that surpassed the Divine King Realm.
Truly, his depths were profoundly hidden.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, perhaps we should relocate for a spar? After all, our combined might is exceptionally potent, and the resulting commotion if we were to fight within the Grey Mist Sea would be far too significant..."
Ye Yun applied a subtle pressure with his palm, maintaining his grip on Eastern Emperor Taiyi's iron fist, and stated calmly.
Sensing the overwhelming power emanating from Ye Yun's palm, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression grew even more somber.
What manner of divine techniques had this Supreme God Sovereign cultivated, to possess such an incredibly robust physique?
It was even stronger than the physical bodies of those within the Demon World's demon clan.
"Ah, I recall it now..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's heart gave a sudden lurch as a specific recollection surfaced.
He remembered having secretly investigated this Supreme God Sovereign after departing the Sun Ancient Region and proceeding towards the Daluo Region.
The Supreme God Sovereign was a master of the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path, a cultivation technique honed over years of practice.
Whispers suggested this supreme path originated from the Ancient Clan, and mastering it granted immense power.
Understanding this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt a glimmer of comprehension.
He surmised that the Supreme God Sovereign's formidable strength stemmed from this very Ancient Clan.
The Ancient Clan remained an enigma, shrouded in mystery, and his knowledge of them was scant.
Noticing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's contemplative state, Ye Yun, while gently shaking the Chaotic Bell in his other hand, inquired with a smile, "Eastern Emperor Taiyi, did my recent suggestion not reach your ears?"
"Very well!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi snapped back to the present, his head nodding with firm conviction.
"Follow me!"
Ye Yun released his hold and instantly ascended into the heavens, hurtling directly towards the expanse above.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi followed suit, not far behind.
Presently, only three figures clad in black robes lingered within the swirling grey mist.
"Shall we pursue them?"
One of the black-robed individuals posed the question.
"Witnessing a clash between such potent beings offers valuable insight. We can also gauge the current prowess of cultivators from the Divine Land,"
Another black-robed figure mused for a few moments before replying.
"Agreed!"
The trio then propelled themselves skyward, vanishing from view.
Ye Yun journeyed at breakneck speed, penetrating the deep void within a dozen breaths.
Here, chaotic wind currents, turbulent space, and wild, untamed energy created an environment of extreme peril for any cultivator below the Divine King Realm; a single misstep could lead to a fatal fall.
Standing firm amidst the tempestuous winds, Ye Yun turned, the Chaotic Bell held steady in one hand, his gaze calmly fixed below.
A crimson streak of light shot forth, halting opposite him and resolving into the stern visage of Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Subsequently, three black flashes appeared in close succession, stopping at a distance and coalescing into three men draped in black robes.
Ye Yun remained unfazed by these three demons of the Divine King Realm.
The You Tianmo clan bore him no personal enmity, and if their sole intention was observation, it posed no issue.
After all, while cultivators from the Demon World and the inhabitants of the Divine Land weren't in outright conflict, their allegiances were certainly not aligned.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze fixed on Ye Yun, his words cutting through the air, "Your depth is truly unfathomable. It appears my prior assessment of you was flawed!"
"Not so much unfathomable, as perhaps you are simply too weak!"
Ye Yun replied with a placid smile.
"What? How dare you declare me weak?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi erupted in fury, a volcanic rage igniting within his heart.
Whoosh!
A cascade of crimson flames, soaring seven to eight meters high, burst forth from his body.
Ensconced within the blaze, he appeared as the sovereign of all creation, with the very fabric of heaven and earth revolving around him.
Crackling, snapping sounds reverberated...
The distinct sound of bones shifting and cracking could be heard.
In that very instant, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's form began to swell and expand. Within mere breaths, he had transformed into a colossal, ferocious giant, towering over a hundred meters tall.
Engulfed by searing flames, his eyes blazed with ferocity, his aura surged with overwhelming might, and a terrifying killing intent poured forth like a relentless tide, sweeping in every direction!
