Martial Cultivator

Between heaven and earth, there exist some void realms. These spaces lie beyond the real world and cannot be detected by people under normal circumstances. They only appear when the clash of powerhouses tears apart the real space.

The existence of void realms had never been explained. It was almost like an endless space, devoid of anything, without any particular aura.

After the Demon Emperor dragged the Great Liang Emperor into one such void realm, no one could witness the epic battle between the two emperors.

In reality, from the moment the battlefield was chosen in the desolate north, and later when the desolate north was transformed into a forbidden zone, the world had long since lost knowledge of the final outcome of this battle.

However, there was an exception.

A girl in white had been watching the sea on the shores of Ying Prefecture before the battle began. When the two emperors returned to the desolate north, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she lingered by the shore for quite some time before choosing to depart Ying Prefecture. She came to the Northern Frontier Great Wall, which lay before the desolate north.

There, unnoticed by everyone, she crossed the Northern Frontier Great Wall and entered the desolate north, now considered a forbidden area by the world's cultivators, reaching the banks of the Onan River.

Following the river upstream, the girl in white saw the demon princess, Autumn, by the river.

Autumn did not initially notice the girl in white, as she was focused on the situation in the desolate north. However, when the girl in white drew near, she discovered the girl in white.

However, the girl in white ignored her and instead walked up to her, reaching out to pat her head. She then stared into Autumn's snow-white pupils, and said with some surprise, "What mutated variant are you exactly?"

Autumn had already entered the Nepenthe Realm, and logically speaking, no youngster in the world should be able to subdue her so easily. Yet, this girl in white, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, pressed her head down very effortlessly.

Autumn opened her mouth, but no words came out.

The girl in white examined her for a few moments, and furrowed her brows. Then, with some disdain, she released her grip and muttered, "So it's like this."

Afterward, the girl in white casually crossed the Onan River. Her figure gradually faded, and a moment later, she was no longer visible.

Autumn was left stunned, even rubbing her eyes in disbelief, as if trying to prove that what had just happened was not some illusion.

But the figure of the girl in white was no longer in sight, and she felt a sense of realization.

……

……

The girl in white arrived in the desolate north, gazing at the wasteland before her. As she thought about the two men fighting to the death here, she found it somewhat distasteful and uninteresting.

She wandered alone through the desolate north, eventually selecting a rare high peak. She chose a boulder, ran her fingers across it, causing some stone dust to fall. Then, with a gust of wind, a stone chair appeared.

The girl in white sat down contentedly, looking ahead. Since there was nothing of interest, she decided to pass the time by watching the two individual's world-shaking battle.

In the void realm ahead, the figures of the Great Liang Emperor and the Demon Emperor appeared one after another, each shattering a fragment of space before reappearing in the real world.

At that moment, the two towering dharma idols dissipated simultaneously.

The Demon Emperor rubbed his head, then opened his hand to find fresh blood on his palm.

In their battle within the void realm, the two had abandoned all the flashy techniques, colliding with the purest strength of their physical bodies. During the fight, the Great Liang Emperor nearly severed the Demon Emperor's head with a single hand slash, while the Demon Emperor almost shattered the Great Liang Emperor's heart with a punch.

In the end, both chose to pull back simultaneously without any prior agreement, refraining from trading their lives in such a manner.

Nevertheless, the injuries on both emperors were severe.

The Demon Emperor spat out a mouthful of demonic qi, though the pitch-black demonic qi was now laced with a crimson color. As for the Great Liang Emperor, his emperor robes were in tatters.

The Demon Emperor glanced at the Great Liang Emperor and, without hesitation, charged forward again.

Snow-white mist poured from the Great Liang Emperor's nose and mouth, obscuring his face in that instant.

But he quickly stepped up to meet the attack.

As the two emperors clashed once more, a deafening sound echoed across the heavens and earth. It was the terrifying collision of the qi outside their bodies that preceded their physical impact.

A terrifying air billow rippled out behind them, surging continuously.

Everything around them appeared as if sliced cleanly by a blade, becoming unnaturally flat and smooth.

The Great Liang Emperor smashed a punch at the Demon Emperor's forehead, leaving it instantly bruised and causing the Demon Emperor to also instantly tilt his head back. Seizing the momentum, the Great Liang Emperor pressed forward with another punch, but the Demon Emperor struck the Great Liang Emperor's wrist, deflecting the blow so that it only grazed his body.

At the same time, the Demon Emperor placed a palm on the Great Liang Emperor's chest. From his palm, pitch-black demonic qi surged forth, enveloping the Great Liang Emperor in an instant.

The terrifying demonic qi turned into countless streams, burrowing into the Great Liang Emperor's countless apertures. The Great Liang Emperor's complexion instantly turned somewhat pale, and he staggered backward several steps.

The Demon Emperor took advantage of this moment to manifest a demonic saber and drove it into the Great Liang Emperor's chest.

The pitch-black saber was formed entirely from the Demon Emperor's condensed demonic qi, radiating a dense demonic qi. At the same time it pierced the Great Liang Emperor's chest, the demonic qi spread out, and began to wander around the Great Liang Emperor's heart. It invaded countless meridians and, within moments, seemed to plant countless seeds inside his body.

Each seed contained the purest demonic qi, a manifestation of the Demon Emperor's lifetime of cultivation.

Releasing the saber's hilt, the Demon Emperor glanced at the Great Liang Emperor.

Inside the Great Liang Emperor's body, the demonic qi blossomed from the countless apertures it had invaded, wreaking havoc on the meridians within his body. Black blood began to flow from these countless apertures.

The ground was stained by the black blood in an instant.

Even the Great Liang Emperor's two eyes began to weep black blood.

The sight was eerie and unsettling.

The Demon Emperor was very calm, but a hint of blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth.

This was enough to show that the Demon Emperor's condition was not ideal either.

However, no matter how one looked at it, the Great Liang Emperor's condition seemed even worse at this moment.

Yet, as the Great Liang Emperor exhaled a breath of white mist, all the black blood in his apertures transformed into white mist and enveloped the Great Liang Emperor.

The Great Liang Emperor drew a sharp breath, inhaling all the white mist back into his body.

The Demon Emperor said calmly, “It seems you have trailblazed a new path.”

The Great Liang Emperor was already the martial artist who had walked the furthest in martial cultivation among martial artists in this world. But even so, while this made him one of the strongest powerhouses of his time, it also came with a major flaw.

That flaw was that the Great Liang Emperor did not cultivate any magic spells.

However, during their battle, the Demon Emperor had already discerned that this human emperor was no longer an ordinary martial artist.

Among the human cultivators, the ones the Demon Emperor feared most were never those from the foreign lands, but martial artists like the Great Liang Emperor.

Through relentless tempering of their physical bodies, they achieved physiques closest to that of the demon race. Now, if they could also wield magic spells they would become even more terrifying.

“It’s fortunate that only you have found a new path. If all martial artists in the world were like this, the balance between humans and demons maintained for so many years would likely change."

The Demon Emperor let out a sigh. As one of the top powerhouses of the current era, he had no need to worry about such things. A powerhouse like him naturally carried his own breadth of spirit. However, it was a pity that he also bore the responsibility of being the Demon Emperor.

Upon his shoulders rested the immense burden of the entire demon race.

The Great Liang Emperor smiled and said, “Who can say what the future holds?”

The Demon Emperor said nothing. With a sweep of his emperor robe, the terrifying demonic qi scattered across the desolate north rushed back into the Demon Emperor's body at this moment.

The Demon Emperor's aura grew increasingly terrifying. The roiling blood vitality emanating from him could likely be sensed clearly even from thousands of miles away.

For a long time, this Demon Emperor had been the undisputed strongest powerhouse in the world. Even after learning that the Great Liang Emperor had trailblazed a new path, he did not feel the slightest fear.

The aura within his body became increasingly terrifying, as if some ancient aura was awakening. It seemed to be a primordial force buried deep within the Demon Emperor's bloodline, hailing from an era of great antiquity.

The Great Liang Emperor furrowed his brows. By this point, he realized he might finally witness the Demon Emperor's true form today.

He was rather curious to see exactly what ancient and mutated variant this Demon Emperor's true form was.

However, he was also very clear that once the Demon Emperor revealed his true form, this great battle would likely reach its conclusion.

It had entered the final stage.

The gap between them was not vast. Even though Chen Che had trailblazed a new path, facing the Demon Emperor, the strongest powerhouse in the world, did not result in an overwhelming advantage.

The outcome of their battle remained uncertain until the very end.

……

……

As the aura within the Demon Emperor grew increasingly terrifying, boundless demonic qi rushed to the sky, tearing apart a sea of clouds in an instant. The Demon Emperor then transformed into a stream of pitch-black demonic qi and disappeared into the clouds.

The Great Liang Emperor slowly lifted his head, a hint of anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

At this moment, all concerns could indeed be cast aside, leaving only the thrill of an unrestrained battle.
