Chapter 303: Chapter 303 I Can’t Beat Him
All along the way, the Saintess had been brainwashing Emperor Tian. "Yes, yes, Chen Pingping is from the Heaven Martial Continent. His family’s foundation is in the Nan Zhanbu Province, with the Wuji Sect, which is on the other side of the passageway..."
"What he cares about most are his two junior sisters. One is named Guang Xiaoyu, and the other is Zi Ji. They aren’t particularly capable but are very beautiful and deeply favored by Chen Pingping."
"I think you should focus on them. If you can capture those two, Chen Pingping will surely go berserk."
Her smile was radiant as she thoughtfully filled Emperor Tian in on Chen Pingping’s background, introducing his two delicate junior sisters.
Emperor Tian didn’t quite believe her.
Aren’t they friends? The Saintess’s actions are undoubtedly a betrayal!
But the Saintess’s next words completely dispelled his doubts.
"I’m not his friend; I’m his sworn enemy! He killed my parents and destroyed my clan. I dream of killing him," the Saintess said, her teeth clenched and her face dark.
Her words might have been false, but her emotions and expression were absolutely genuine.
She loathed that bastard to her core, but alas, she was powerless to defeat him!
If it weren’t for Chen Pingping, I might have been the protagonist of the Central Continent.
Emperor Tian believed her. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you truly hate Chen Pingping?"
"Hate him! I wish I could devour him," the Saintess said coldly. "But I can’t defeat him."
HAHAHA!
Emperor Tian burst out laughing. "This Young Master will choose to believe you this once and give you a chance. But if you dare to deceive me, HEH HEH!"
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!" The Saintess took a deep breath, her eyes resolute.
It was only after believing the Saintess’s words that Emperor Tian had asked earlier, "Senior, do you know Chen Pingping’s junior sisters?"
"???"
Of course, I knew, Jin Lun thought. We were together every day. She beat me up constantly, and I couldn’t even fight back. Not long ago, I even figured out her true identity, and it almost brought me to my knees in shock. The Demon Emperor is still alive, right in front of me—Guang Xiaoyu, Chen Pingping’s junior sister!
Jin Lun noticed the change in Guang Xiaoyu’s attitude and felt uneasy, pondering how to guide her when, unexpectedly, Emperor Tian arrived.
He wanted to break open the Spatial Barrier.
Jin Lun panicked.
Emperor Tian was also looking for Chen Pingping’s junior sister.
Jin Lun felt suffocated. Why do these youngsters nowadays leave home without their brains? It was one thing for Emperor Tian not to have investigated the Heaven Martial Continent properly, but he’d even ignored the two words I just said!
Jin Lun wore a constipated expression, his gaze complex as he looked at Guang Xiaoyu.
The latter smiled. "Answer him. Tell him yes." Chen Pingping must still be alive, she guessed. Otherwise, Emperor Tian wouldn’t be looking for his junior sisters.
Heh heh. Things are getting more and more interesting.
Jin Lun responded expressionlessly, "Yes!"
"Great..." Emperor Tian was overjoyed.
"Ask him what he wants with Chen Pingping’s junior sisters," Guang Xiaoyu interjected.
After a moment, Emperor Tian’s voice came through: "Force a battle."
Those two words alone revealed immense confidence.
Jin Lun’s mouth twitched. Don’t be so confident! You might be able to defeat Chen Pingping, but he has a Demon Emperor for a junior sister! I really want to slap this junior to death.
Emperor Tian then asked, "Senior, what’s the current situation on the Heaven Martial Continent?"
Guang Xiaoyu instructed Jin Lun, "Tell him: Trash. Not even a single King Tao Realm cultivator. Just a bunch of ants."
"Oh? Is that true? HAHAHA!" Emperor Tian laughed. "That’s great! Once Emperor Spirit breaks the Spatial Barrier, I’ll be able to enter the Heaven Martial Continent, take away Chen Pingping’s two junior sisters, and force him into battle... HEH HEH, this will be my first fight. Defeating Chen Pingping will make my name known in the Spirit Realm. As for the Heaven Martial Continent, it will become my backyard in the future."
His fantasy was a pleasant one.
Jin Lun’s face was stiff.
This young man is really interesting, Guang Xiaoyu mused, also smiling.
Soon, Emperor Spirit began to act.
It was enormous, standing seven to eight meters tall, robust and towering. Its snow-white fur gave it a sacred and pristine appearance. Its face resembled that of a Snow Ape, but its eyes were different.
They were blood-red, terrifying yet holding a hint of divine charm.
Its origins were extraordinary, and it had lived through vast eons. Even the current Purple Gold Divine Clan didn’t know its true lineage; they only knew it was very powerful.
Emperor Spirit was a name passed down from that ancient era.
However, despite its seemingly impressive background and divine charm, combat was its greatest weakness. To be precise, it had virtually no combat prowess.
Its greatest ability was related to space.
Emperor Spirit could perform spatial jumps. Of course, the farther the distance, the greater the energy consumption; conversely, shorter distances consumed less.
As for breaking through Spatial Barriers, that was merely a distant legend. Emperor Spirit hadn’t made a move in tens of thousands of years, so whether it could still breach them was unknown.
BOOM!
Emperor Spirit threw a punch at the altar, unleashing Divine Power. It was as if it had grasped a specific point in space, instantly penetrating the Spatial Barrier and leaving a crack.
Emperor Tian extended his Divine Sense slightly. He felt the crack was stable and wouldn’t disappear anytime soon. He smiled and stepped into it.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the Heaven Martial Continent.
However, it was different from what he had imagined. He hadn’t appeared in mountains, nor was there an Ancient City or a small town. Instead, he was in a narrow cave.
There was also an ancient altar, enveloped by a powerful Array.
Emperor Tian was stunned, his mind buzzing.
After seven or eight breaths, he noticed his senior, Jin Lun, who was looking at him expressionlessly, as if looking at an utter fool.
Qiongqi lay quietly to the side, in silent slumber.
In front of Senior Jin Lun stood a slender figure: Guang Xiaoyu.
At this moment, Guang Xiaoyu wore a brilliant smile and was sizing him up. Her wooden sword still hovered at Jin Lun’s neck, the aura of the Great Tao faintly visible within it.
A Heaven Tao Divine Weapon? I understand! She’s threatening Senior Jin Lun!
Suddenly, Emperor Tian seemed to realize something. So, everything I heard before was a lie!
"I heard you were looking for me?" Guang Xiaoyu smiled.
"No!" Emperor Tian shook his head.
"I *am* Chen Pingping’s junior sister. Did you just say you wanted to capture me to force my Senior Brother to fight?" She blinked, her eyes glinting with cunning.
"Miss, could you have misheard?" Emperor Tian quibbled, feeling an increasing sense of oppression.
In the confined space, he began to feel uneasy.
Guang Xiaoyu’s aura fluctuations weren’t strong, but the wooden sword in her hand was extraordinary, likely a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.
The altar beneath his feet was also strange. The Array enveloped the area, and for a moment, his Divine Sense couldn’t even penetrate it...
And I’m a powerhouse at the latter stages of the Emperor Dao Realm!
Behind Guang Xiaoyu, the old yellow ox, its eyes clear, stared at him intently. He felt as if a Saint was staring at him, and an involuntary shiver ran down his spine.
It’s so oppressive. This darn place is the Heaven Martial Continent? Who said the Heaven Martial Continent was a declining world? That woman, the Saintess, lied to me! She claimed Chen Pingping’s junior sisters had no combat prowess apart from their looks! Utter nonsense!
Emperor Tian decided that once he returned to the Spirit Realm, he would tear the Saintess apart.
Just then, Mao Qiu, nestled on Guang Xiaoyu’s shoulder, suddenly rolled over, yawned, and its bean-sized eyes swept over Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian was shocked.
With his atavistic bloodline, he possessed powerful insight and could easily identify the race and origins of Demon Beasts, yet he couldn’t discern the true form of this little pet.
That fleeting glimpse gave him the sensation of plummeting into a bottomless abyss, and his entire Divine Soul trembled.
Emperor Tian wanted to cry but had no tears. He looked reproachfully at his senior, Jin Lun, thinking, "Senior, why didn’t you make things clearer earlier?"
