CHAPTER 1077: CHAPTER 1078: THE ARRIVAL OF THE QUASI-EMPEROR

The Fire Family, one of the eight royal clans of the Ancient Serpent Kingdom, even for any disciple of the Fire Family, stepping into the Life and Death realm, or even the Life and Death Platform, is an effortless task.

Yet this Fire Family Young Master has merely reached the peak of the Spiritual Power realm, not even stepping into the Life and Death realm.

Such strength should be considered a waste in the Fire Family, so the fact that he could become the Young Master is what surprised Chu Fengmian the most.

Especially that Protective Jade Talisman further proves the Young Master’s identity. At least within the ancient family, he is an extremely important figure.

After inspecting the Young Master’s bloodline this time, all of Chu Fengmian’s doubts suddenly unraveled.

Chu Fengmian unexpectedly sensed an ancient power, an Innate Divine Beast’s power, the Tengu Serpent, from the Young Master’s bloodline.

The Young Master’s bloodline actually inherited a trace of the ancestor of all serpents, the Tengu Serpent’s bloodline.

The Young Master currently isn’t powerful because the Tengu Serpent power within his bloodline is still dormant.

Once the Tengu Serpent bloodline awakens, his strength will likely skyrocket, and with that trace of Tengu Serpent bloodline, he might even challenge the Emperor realm.

This isn’t an exaggeration. The Tengu Serpent bloodline, after all, is an Innate Divine Beast bloodline. Even a trace of it is more noble than any demon god bloodline on the Ancient Demon Continent.

But now, this Young Master has fallen into Chu Fengmian’s hands, so even if his Tengu Serpent bloodline awakens, he can’t escape.

"Tengu Serpent bloodline, who would have thought you would gift me such a generous present."

Chu Fengmian looked at the Young Master and couldn’t help but grin.

This Young Master came to cause trouble for him and indeed was delivering the Tengu Serpent bloodline to Chu Fengmian on purpose.

This trace of Tengu Serpent bloodline power is not inferior to many Innate Divine Bodies, and Chu Fengmian certainly won’t let it go.

"How, how did you know I have the Tengu Serpent bloodline?"

The Young Master’s face turned even paler upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words. Very few in the ancient family knew about his possession of the Tengu Serpent bloodline.

More so, for an outsider like Chu Fengmian, before awakening, even an Emperor might not be able to detect it.

Yet now, with a single word, Chu Fengmian exposed the Young Master’s Tengu Serpent bloodline.

"In this world, there’s nothing I can’t uncover."

Chu Fengmian laughed coldly.

"Hand it over, bloodline extraction!"

In Chu Fengmian’s palm, spiritual power condensed, and suddenly he clawed towards the Young Master.

In Chu Fengmian’s palm, the Young Master’s body twisted continuously. Outsiders saw him in immense pain.

But in reality, only the Young Master knew how terrifying this pain was.

Under Chu Fengmian’s grip, his bloodline was being forcibly extracted, a torment beyond mere pain.

Once his bloodline is extracted, the Young Master would have no future power, let alone his status.

If he were lucky to survive, he would only be a waste for the rest of his life.

"Am I really going to die today? I, Huo Lin, born with the Tengu Serpent bloodline, will die at this person’s hands?"

The Young Master, Huo Lin, was terrified and regretted provoking Chu Fengmian.

Just as Chu Fengmian’s power was about to extract the Tengu Serpent bloodline from the Young Master,

suddenly, heaven and earth changed colors, and a shout exploded from above.

"Who dares to kill a disciple of my Fire Family!"

With this shout, the Young Master’s face changed drastically, filled with excitement, as if he caught a lifeline, he looked up.

In the sky, a thousand-meter-long rift tore the sky asunder.

Within this rift, a golden figure descended.

Accompanying the golden figure was a terrifying pressure, an Emperor’s might.

On this golden figure’s body was a power that only those in the Emperor realm could possess, Emperor might.

"Great Elder!"

Seeing the golden figure, Qing Lao and Chi Lao’s faces lit up with joy.

The true powerhouse of the Fire Family, the Great Elder, had finally arrived.

This Emperor’s might confirmed his power, at least a half-step into the Emperor realm, a Quasi-Emperor.

"Great Elder, save me quickly!"

The Young Master in Chu Fengmian’s palm hastily knelt and shouted loudly.

He thought he was doomed, but the Great Elder’s arrival gave him a glimmer of hope, making his gaze towards Chu Fengmian fiercely sinister.

Now that a Quasi-Emperor of the Fire Family was here, it was time to kill Chu Fengmian.

"You two wastes, how did you put Lin’er in such danger!"

The Great Elder of the Fire Family condensed his figure, with a wave of his hand, the already dead Qing Lao and Chi Lao, killed by Chu Fengmian, recondensed.

A Jade Talisman appeared in the Great Elder’s palm. Its power revived Qing Lao and Chi Lao.

"Soul Crystal?"

Seeing the Jade Talisman, Chu Fengmian’s eyes flickered with surprise.

This is rumored Soul Crystal in the Nine Domains, said to embed a part of a creature’s soul within.

Just now, even though Chu Fengmian killed Qing Lao and Chi Lao directly,

for supreme ancestors like them, possessing a wisp of their soul is enough for resurrection.

Soul Crystal, long vanished in the Nine Domains, unexpectedly appeared from the Ancient Demon Continent.

The Great Elder of the Fire Family looked towards the resurrected Qing Lao and Chi Lao, speaking coldly.

"Return to the Fire Family, confine yourselves for a hundred years, and hone your skills well, lest you disgrace the Fire Family again."

"Yes."

Qing Lao and Chi Lao respectfully nodded, with no room for rebuttal against a Quasi-Emperor’s command.

The Young Master looked at the Great Elder in the sky, fearing being overlooked, he quickly spoke.

"Great Elder, kill him at once, he has the Emperor’s demon god blood!"

"What? Emperor’s demon god blood? Are you saying that the Emperor Dragon’s blood is in his possession?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder’s gaze shifted sharply towards Chu Fengmian.

"Boy, hand over that Emperor’s demon god blood. Such treasure is not for you to possess."

"Also, you killed many disciples of my Fire Family, already committing a capital crime. Considering your talent, become a servant of my Fire Family, and I might spare you this time."

The Great Elder slowly spoke to Chu Fengmian as if granting mercy by demanding his submission.

With his Quasi-Emperor status, all below Emperor realm are ants. Sparing an ant was already a grace.

Even with just an avatar, it was easy to crush an immortal realm supreme ancestor.

"A mere avatar dares to be impudent before me?"

Hearing the Great Elder’s words, Chu Fengmian laughed loudly, looking at the Great Elder as if at a dead man.
