Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 680: The True Face of the First Slaying Emperor

The martial artists of the Slaughter Emperor Sect were stunned by the words, and then an unforgettable scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

The True Martial Holy Hall and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, two celestial martial artifacts appeared simultaneously in front of them.

Together with the Dragon Slaughter Tower, the three massive structures almost blocked out the sky, causing the entire sky to change color at that moment.

The celestial martial artifacts exuded a suffocating and terrifying power that would likely result in death and annihilation for any ordinary martial artist who even brushed against them.

The martial artists of the Slaughter Emperor Sect were already shocked to see that Chu Nan possessed a Dragon Slaughter Tower comparable to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, yet they didn’t expect he had two more of such terrifying spirit martial artifacts!

The three celestial martial artifacts encircled and pursued the First Emperor of Killing, enclosing him in a triangular battle array.

The terrifying pressure caused the First Emperor of Killing to be drenched in sweat, and he looked at Chu Nan with eyes as if he were staring at a monster.

After all, since the two realms split, what martial artist could single-handedly master three celestial martial artifacts?

Even possessing one was considered legendary, let alone three!

Qiu Huang, at such a high level of cultivation, at the peak realm of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, occupied the first branch of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall for years but made no progress, ultimately forcibly taken by Chu Nan.

This illustrates how difficult it is to discover a celestial martial artifact, let alone refine one.

Even if Chu Nan could not unleash the full power of these three celestial martial artifacts, their combined power was enough to render the First Emperor of Killing almost helpless.

For the first time, when the First Emperor of Killing looked at Chu Nan, there was a newfound dread in his eyes, with even a trace of fear lurking beneath.

Under the suppression of the three celestial martial artifacts, the First Emperor of Killing felt certain of his impending defeat, so he immediately wielded the Holy Martial Battleaxe to fight against the Celestial Martial, hoping to create a breach.

But celestial martial artifacts are the most terrifying supreme treasures in the lower realms. Even if Chu Nan couldn’t wield their full power, the material itself was beyond what the First Emperor of Killing, who was not even at the Unifying Realm, could shake.

Each of his attacks was rebounded by the three Celestial Martials.

The internal injuries caused by these repeated rebuffs left the First Emperor of Killing dizzy, looking extremely miserable.

"Damn it, once I escape from here, I’ll make sure Chu Nan pays for this."

"Although the celestial martial artifacts are powerful, they are not flexible to operate. I will surely find a way to escape here!"

The First Emperor of Killing let out an unwilling roar from his mouth, repeatedly swinging the battleaxe to launch a counterattack, but each time he was rebuffed back.

Until the First Emperor of Killing’s spiritual power was nearly exhausted, finally!

There was a gap in the blockade of the three celestial martial artifacts, and his eyes lit up with surprise: "My resistance finally worked, escaping from here would mean boundless freedom, Chu Nan, just you wait!"

Whoosh!

The body of the First Emperor of Killing turned into a stream of light, instantly rushing through that gap.

Yet awaiting him outside the gap was not the vast freedom but Chu Nan’s five pairs of iron fists!

"Moving Mountains and Shaking Heaven!"

Fists fell like raindrops, transformed into a situation the First Emperor of Killing could easily withstand, but just earlier, to create the breach, he had exerted all his strength.

In desperation, seeing the breach thinking he could escape the blockade, his spirit somewhat relaxed.

So this time, he couldn’t dodge Chu Nan’s fists and was struck directly!

Bam, bam, bam!

The crisp and decisive punches bombarded the flesh of the First Emperor of Killing, each punch leaving an imprint on his body.

In the span of just a few breaths, Chu Nan had already landed hundreds of punches.

Just as the First Emperor of Killing was gathering strength to resist, Chu Nan suddenly struck his mask with a powerful punch.

Crack!

The sound akin to thunder echoed in the sky, and under everyone’s shocked gaze, the Emperor Martial mask worn by the First Emperor of Killing shattered, revealing his true face hidden beneath the mask.

At that moment, not only Chu Nan, but even the Slaughter Emperor sect’s emperors widened their eyes.

Because none of them had ever seen the true face of the First Emperor of Killing.

"Chu Nan!" The First Emperor of Killing’s mask shattered, and his once-hidden face immediately turned ferocious, and as the mask shattered, his hidden aura was also unleashed at that moment.

"So, this is your true face~" Chu Nan looked at the face of the First Emperor of Killing, then delivered a final heavy punch, sending the First Emperor of Killing back into the area blocked by the celestial martial artifacts.

At that moment, everyone clearly saw the face of the First Emperor of Killing and felt his aura.

Then the entire Blood Evil City erupted with incredulous voices: "How is it possible, how can you be the First Emperor of Killing!"

"The First Emperor of Killing is actually you, why is it this way, if it’s you, then what have we been building our power for all these years?"

"Damn it, damn it, you dare deceive us, you’ve deceived us horribly."

"We will kill you, kill you, grind your bones into ashes..."

The Slaughter Emperor sect erupted with furious roars, and upon seeing the true face of the First Emperor of Killing, they unleashed an unprecedented killing intent, even wanting to rush inside the celestial martial artifacts’ blockade to fight the First Emperor of Killing.

Chu Nan looked at the First Emperor of Killing, sensing a trace of familiarity in the other party’s aura.

Lu Daochang sighed lightly, also somewhat surprised, and said, "Never expected that the First Emperor of Killing would actually be you, Ji Shenhao!"

"The youngest Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator in the history of the royal family, everyone thought you were dead, yet who would have thought you ended up in the Southern Desert and established the Slaughter Emperor Sect!"

The First Emperor of Killing, who had revealed his true identity, saw that his cover was blown, so he simply stopped pretending and laughed, saying, "You’re right, I am indeed Ji Shenhao!"

Ji Shenhao, of the Qin royal family, the direct younger brother of the current Emperor Qin, Ji Shenfa, was unexpectedly also a Ninth Heavenly Layer strongman!

Yet a member of the Qin royal family, rather than staying in the Imperial Capital, came to the Southern Desert to establish a sect opposing the Qin Kingdom; it was simply inconceivable.

"Ji Shenhao, you beast, why did you do this, why did you deceive us!"

"Damn Ji Shenhao, you tricked us terribly, I’ll flay you alive."

"Aaahhhh, kill you!"

The thought that these martial artists who aspired to overthrow the Qin Kingdom had been following the orders of the Qin emperor’s brother for over a thousand years drove them into a rage, nearly causing them to die of anger on the spot.

However, Chu Nan didn’t show much surprise. From the moment the First Emperor of Killing refused to surrender and fought to the death, he had his suspicions.

Especially after the First Emperor of Killing showed a great interest in Dragon Qi, he was even more certain of his thoughts.

Even if the First Emperor of Killing wasn’t part of the Qin royal family, he probably had a significant connection to them.

Chu Nan just hadn’t expected that the First Emperor of Killing was indeed Ji Shenfa’s own brother!

Even Ji Shenfa could reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer. When thinking of that peak realm Qin Emperor, Chu Nan’s expression involuntarily became serious.

No one could guarantee the terrifying strength the Ji Shenfa, who occupied the Celestial Crossing Realm’s strongest cultivation holy land, might possess, perhaps even surpassing Qiu Huang.
