"It looks like we'll have to make breakfast for the master tomorrow morning," Uncle Wang said leisurely.
As he spoke, a look of shock flashed through his eyes, which had seemed weary and aged just a moment before. Suddenly, he looked full of vigor, and the walking stick in his hand radiated dazzling light as his primordial qi stirred it to life.
"Yeah!" Pork Rong gave a shout of agreement. His whole body surged with vast primordial qi as well, and then he drew out a sharp butcher's knife.
As the butcher's knife emerged, cold light spread over it, stirred by his primordial qi.
"Old man, I'll go first. Help me out if I can't beat it!" Pork Rong said. Then, stepping on the tall rubber boots on his feet, he leapt up, blinking to the top of the giant flood dragon's head.
"Eat my knife!" he bellowed. Carrying cold light, the butcher's knife in his hand slashed down with a shout.
As the knife light fell, it dragged a thousand-zhang arc of knife qi, filling the whole sky with criss-crossing blade energies.
"Boom!"
Before the awed and tongue-tied crowd, the knife fell directly onto the giant flood dragon's body.
"Chi!"
The moment they connected, sparks flew from the giant flood dragon's body. Accompanied by its miserable cries, the earth-shattering blow of the knife rent it cleanly in two.
"Boom boom!"
The two remaining halves of its body smashed to the ground like two great mountains.
The land within a thousand zhang was razed flat.
...Raising clouds of dust into the sky.
"So scary!"
"It cut the Demon Emperor in half with one stroke."
"A Martial Emperor expert. This person must be a Martial Emperor expert!"
The scene made everyone present shudder and call out involuntarily. No wonder these old men made the two great powers so afraid—they turned out to be Martial Emperor masters!
Masters of this level were the peak of the entire Immortal River Continent!
The crowd was astonished to have the fortune to witness such a figure today. Their gazes looking at Pork Rong instantly filled with reverence.
Li Shuhua and Yang Tianyu also sucked in a breath, although they had known beforehand that these two were Martial Emperor masters and were mentally prepared. But seeing it happen before their eyes, they still couldn't keep calm.
But just then, the giant flood dragon that had been chopped in half flew up high again.
Even more unbelievably, the two halves of its body rejoined, and the wounds could be seen recovering at a visible speed, as if it had never been injured at all.
"Sure enough, it's not so simple!" Pork Rong's eyes flashed with gravity as he called back to Old Man Wang, "Old man, looks like we need your help after all!"
Almost as soon as Pork Rong's voice faded away, Old Man Wang flew up into the sky, staff in hand.
In a flash,
His walking stick became a thousand-zhang long and smashed down furiously onto the giant flood dragon's head.
"Boom!"
An explosive sound.
The giant flood dragon, which had just flown up, crashed to the ground again.
"Another Martial Emperor!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help crying out again.
Li Yihan stood in the corner, her face pale white, her whole person numb. These people were constantly refreshing her understanding, again and again.
But unexpectedly, the giant flood dragon that had crashed to the ground stirred again, slowly raising its head.
"Tsk tsk."
"I really didn't expect to run into two human Martial Emperors here. How delightful!"
It lay coiled in midair again, looking at Pork Rong and the other with undisguised contempt.
Suddenly,
It opened its massive maw, and a terrifying energy condensed before shooting out.
Seeing this, Pork Rong and Old Man Wang's expressions changed. Before they could even shift into defensive stances, the terrifying beam of energy was already surging toward them.
"Boom!"
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
Pork Rong and Old Man Wang spit out a mouthful of blood simultaneously and were blasted away.
"Oh?"
"Not bad at all, to withstand one of my strikes!"
The giant flood dragon gave a cold laugh, full of mockery.
"What?"
"Two Martial Emperors can't beat it either."
The defeat of Pork Rong and Old Man Wang made cold sweat stream down everyone present. Because they were the only hope of survival here. But now...
"Quick, start running in different directions!"
Growing increasingly panicked, someone shouted anxiously. The panicked crowd instantly scattered in all directions like flies.
But they had barely flown out a short distance when an invisible barrier blocked their way.
"What?"
"A domain?"
Seeing this, Pork Rong and Old Man Wang's expressions changed again. They had never imagined that this giant flood dragon would possess a domain.
More than its ability to return from the dead, this was even more grave to them. After all, that kind of returning from death wasn't true resurrection, just some special methods that demonic beasts had.
But possessing a domain was completely different.
Because compared to other realms, the Martial Emperor realm was much more complex, divided into a total of ten stages. At each stage, one would cross a heavenly tribulation, and after passing the tribulation, it was like a complete transformation, a rebirth of life.
Thus, the ten great stages of Martial Emperor were also called the Ten Life Emperor Realms. Only by crossing through the Ten Life Emperor Realms could one attain immortality.
The first stage Martial Emperor or first stage Demon Emperor had just entered the Emperor level. Although its strength increased dramatically compared to a Martial Sage, it didn't have any major special traits.
But after reaching the second stage Martial Emperor, the true advantages of a Martial Emperor would emerge.
The most significant was initially controlling a domain.
Within the scope of one's domain, one could greatly increase one's own offensive power, not to mention greatly decrease the enemy's strength.
And the barrier blocking these people from leaving was clearly the effect of this giant flood dragon's domain.
Possessing a domain also meant that this giant flood dragon was a second stage Demon Emperor, while Pork Rong and Old Man Wang were only first stage Martial Emperors.
It seemed a difference of just one stage, but was actually a world of difference.
If not for the weapons given to them by Master Yi Feng, their attacks probably could have at most broken through the giant flood dragon's defenses!
"Forget it, I'll just quickly dispose of you and have a feast!"
"Roar!"
The giant flood dragon roared, and another massive swell of energy condensed in its mouth before erupting out turbulently.
"Whoosh..."
The sky echoed with a pleasing piercing sound as it blinked to Pork Rong and Old Man Wang's heads in an instant.
Their expressions changed drastically, and they lifted the weapons Yi Feng had given them to block.
"Block!"
A boom rang out as they barely, dangerously blocked this strike. But they had just let out a breath of relief when they discovered the scattered giant flood dragon energy was abruptly condensing again.
With the two of them as the center, the air started solidifying into ice.
"Crack crack crack..."
The ice spread out from the air, crawling up Pork Rong and Old Man Wang's limbs before spreading across their whole bodies.
In less than a few breaths' time, the two of them were frozen solid on the spot.
"What?"
Seeing this, Yang Tianyu and the others were scared out of their wits. The two great Martial Emperors had actually been frozen like this?
With no way to escape, wouldn't they undoubtedly die?
"Let's see how else you can struggle. Just die!"
The giant flood dragon shouted coldly. An icy spear oozing chill air slowly condensed in its mouth, aimed straight at Pork Rong and Old Man Wang.
Although the two were frozen and unable to move, their consciousness was still present. Seeing this ice pillar, they finally panicked, sensing the thick aura of death.
The other cultivators' faces were also filled with the ashes of despair.
Because Pork Rong and Old Man Wang were their only hope of survival. But now...
However, right when that ice spear was about to shoot out in a split second, an arrogant voice sounded from the ground.
"Hey, little reptile, who said you could be so arrogant?"
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!

Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
