The sixtieth year.
In the Blue Sky Sword Sea, something related to Chi Yu happened again.
Moreover, it was also about Chi Yu.
This time, it was Emperor Capital challenging Chi Yu, boasting that they would shorten the time to defeat Chi Yu to within one day.
What's more, Emperor Capital demanded a life-or-death battle.
That meant the two sides must have one die in the arena.
Everyone felt Chi Yu would die.
Including Chi Yu himself.
Everyone could also see that Emperor Capital not only wanted to suppress Qiu Li, but also wipe out his clan.
By killing Chi Yu, even if Qiu Li wanted to turn back time, it would be impossible.
This was directly destroying the arena.
Next to see was whether Chi Yu would accept the challenge.
Chi Yu was very straightforward and honest, but he wasn't an idiot. For this kind of battle where he was very likely to die, he would definitely think carefully.
"You can't accept, absolutely can't. Just say your Dao heart is damaged and you are unfit for fighting and killing." Big Yellow Dog had already thought of a plan for Chi Yu.
Chi Yu's brow furrowed slightly. He always felt he had heard this reason somewhere before.
Chen Xia, half-lying to one side, also persuaded,
"Although you have the aptitude of a great emperor, after all you are not the seed of a great emperor, let alone a great emperor. There is no need to collide head-on with Emperor Capital. When you become a great emperor in the future, accepting then won't be too late."
Chi Yu asked honestly, "How long is the future?"
"As long as it takes you to become a great emperor." Chen Xia replied.
Chi Yu pondered, nodding, "It seems it will take a very long time."
No one knew how long it would take, but they all knew it would be very long.
Chi Yu was a little troubled. "But if I evade the fight, wouldn't that seem a bit unreasonable? After all, looking at the brief biographies of those great emperors, they all fought their way up, never retreating, possessing invincible will, even crossing realms to kill enemies was common!"
"It has always been so..." Chen Xia pursed his lips, speaking heavily, "So is it right?"
Chi Yu didn't speak. He didn't know how to respond.
Big Yellow Dog sat on a white jade cushion, nodding in agreement. "You have your own path. You have the bearing of a great emperor. Why should whatever Emperor Capital says count? You must insist on a half-dead match!"
Thinking of how Chi Yu often helped test his medicine and was usually quite polite, Chen Xia straightened up a little, putting his hand on a nearby cabinet, speaking flatly,
"If nothing else works, you can have Emperor Capital come fight me in a life-or-death match first, then you go fight a half-dead match."
With his realm-shaking, peak cultivation base, beating these preparatory disciples was like hitting dogs.
Big Yellow Dog nodded in agreement, "Have Emperor Capital fight Qiu Li in a life-or-death match first. The winner is qualified to fight you in a half-dead match."
Chi Yu blinked twice. "Is this really appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it?" Big Yellow Dog disdained. Thinking of Chi Yu's clumsy speaking, he waved a paw, shouting, "I'll go help you say it!"
Chen Xia, half-lying there, could be considered the safety net.
He now had another pill formula in mind, chaotically stewing the Flesh-Devouring Soul-Swallowing Spider and Soul-Severing Vine for three minutes.
It was all about using poison to attack poison, making a negative into a positive.
Simply ingenious.
The news that Emperor Capital had challenged Chi Yu quickly spread among the preparatory disciples.
The clever preparatory disciples had already guessed Emperor Capital's intentions.
Emperor Capital wanted to fight Qiu Li, but if he took the initiative to challenge Qiu Li, it would inevitably be somewhat embarrassing.
So first he would fight Chi Yu, refreshing the time record, and at the same time killing Chi Yu.
This way, from the side, Emperor Capital would surpass Qiu Li.
And Qiu Li would not be able to challenge the already dead Chi Yu again. If he wanted to be on equal footing with Emperor Capital again, let alone surpassing him, he would have to take the initiative to challenge Emperor Capital.
For the side that takes the initiative to challenge, they inevitably lose some face.
This was the difference between the challenger and the challenged.
Emperor Capital went through this big circle, and it was not in vain he was the seed of a great emperor. Not only was his strength formidable, he was also adept at schemes and plots.
As long as he suppressed Qiu Li, he would be the highest of the three seeds of great emperors. When he truly entered the sect, he would also obtain exceptionally great rewards.
As for Chen Xia...
Hmph, who cared about this member of the human race, what's more, he was publicly recognized as the weakest seed of a great emperor. He was not worth Emperor Capital paying too much attention to.
His current goal was Chi Yu and Qiu Li.
But what Emperor Capital didn't expect was,
The usually stubborn Chi Yu actually didn't accept. Instead, a dog came out clamoring.
"Emperor Capital, if you have the guts, you should first fight Qiu Li in a life-or-death match. The winner is qualified to fight me, Chi Yu, in a half-dead match."
When this was shouted, almost everyone felt Chi Yu had gone crazy.
"Alas, it's understandable too. I feel Chi Yu has been a bit abnormal since a few decades ago, babbling every day about becoming a great emperor. Now he has finally gone insane."
"Chi Yu started becoming obsessed since speaking with Chen Xia a few decades ago."
"..."
For a time, sounds of discussion continued.
Big Yellow Dog was also unrestrained, continuing to vent. "If you can't even beat Qiu Li, what right do you have to come fight me in a life-or-death match!"
"I have big brother Chen Xia, second brother Huang Gou. Without big brother Chen Xia making a move, second brother Huang Gou alone can slay you. But big brother and second brother's Dao hearts have recently been damaged, unfit for taking action, so I'll spare your pathetic life this time, take care of yourself!"
It must be said, Big Yellow Dog's words in place of Chi Yu were truly lethal.
Emperor Capital was of high status, so when had he ever heard such inverted black and white insults? He was so angry his body trembled, speaking openly,
"Chi Yu, I, Emperor Capital, vow to slaughter you!"
Big Yellow Dog was not to be outdone. "Little Emperor Capital, truly ill-behaved, with a tiny penis, and a twisted mouth. Don't be arrogant. If you dare clamor again, I'll send out my big brother Chen Xia!"
Emperor Capital was enraged to gnashing of teeth by these vulgar insults. He didn't reply further, but directly set out in person.
Big Yellow Dog was still enthusiastically teaching Chi Yu, completely engrossed.
"Today you both shall die." A voice filled with resentment sounded.
Big Yellow Dog's fur stood on end. He turned in shock, saw Emperor Capital, and hurriedly twisted his mouth, saying, "This isn't the arena!"
Emperor Capital's expression was gloomy. "I never need an arena to kill."
"But I'm not human..." Big Yellow Dog hadn't finished speaking when Emperor Capital directly charged over, striking dog and bird, sending them flying a thousand meters, crashing into ruins.
Three thousand flames suddenly rose from the ruins. Chi Yu's eyes lit up with divine light, staring fixedly at Emperor Capital.
Emperor Capital's whole body flashed with faint black light, darkest at his core in the chest area, almost blocking out all light.
This was one of his foundations.
Demonic Heart, Evil Bones!
Chen Xia carried over a small wooden stool, slowly walking out.
He started watching the lively scene.
Human: Next chapter still coming, I'm typing it, will post around 12:30.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
