The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 735: Breaking Through to Daluo Celestial

Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Breaking Through to Daluo Celestial

"At this moment, I am invincible!"

Xiang Yu laughed wildly, his body wrapped in lightning. He remained defiant, his stature stretching to a towering twenty zhang, like a small mountain. With the Domineering Star Halberd in hand, Man Hui could only resist.

Clang!

Man Hui was sent sliding dozens of meters across the ground, the first time Xiang Yu had managed to push him back.

Divine thunder kept plummeting from the sky, and Xiang Yu was exhilarated, charging towards Man Hui. Fighting while crossing tribulation proved to be a torment for Man Hui.

The heavenly tribulation required to advance from Daluo to Immortal Realm was terrifying. Even Man Hui, who was in the early stages of the Daluo Realm, had his flesh split open by the strikes.

"No good! At this rate, I’ll be worn down to death..."

Man Hui thought anxiously. Normally, he could battle Xiang Yu for seven days and nights without fear of exhaustion, but the disruption of the heavenly thunder infuriated him.

This madman is actually crossing tribulation in the midst of battle – is he seeking death?

Xiang Yu couldn’t care less, swinging the Domineering Star Halberd frenziedly. His strength was growing, his speed increasing, forcing Man Hui to continuously retreat towards the Demon Clan army.

"Everyone retreat quickly!"

"Madman! Watch out for the divine thunder!"

"Damn it! They’re drawing the thunder over here!"

"My King, don’t draw the fire upon us!"

"Has Xiang Yu gone demonically insane?"

The Demon Clan army began to unravel, the demon soldiers cursing while retreating like a receding tide.

However, Xiang Yu’s ferocious assault took Man Hui by surprise, quickly sending him barreling into the ranks of the Demon Clan army. With thunder rolling down incessantly, flesh flew in every direction. The agonized screams of the demon soldiers converged under the heavens, a chilling sound.

The King Yan City erupted into cheers; Xiang Yu was on a path to single-handedly annihilate the enemy forces!

Boom—

Another divine thunderbolt, five zhang wide, struck Xiang Yu and Man Hui. Lightning coiled around their flesh, tearing apart their skin, baring their teeth in pain and rage.

"Do you truly wish to perish together with this king?" Man Hui bellowed, his armor shattered, his body drenched in blood.

Xiang Yu’s silver armor too was soaked in red, even his black hair seemed to be turning a tinge of crimson. Yet his grin grew wilder.

"Wrong! I am going to kill you, as the first gift to present upon seeing His Majesty!"

Xiang Yu said with a disdainful smirk. Just a lowly Bull Demon thinking he could die together with him?

The expression deeply aggravated Man Hui.

Man Hui turned to glance at the silhouette of the Demon Emperor within the sandstorm on the horizon. His eyes turned blood-red in an instant, his body swiftly expanding. He grew fifty zhang taller in the blink of an eye and kept growing.

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes and let out a low grunt, his body stretching taller as well.

Man and demon both skyrocketed to a thousand zhang high. Since divine thunder concentrated above their heads, they dared not grow any taller.

"This king refuses to believe that I can’t kill you today!"

Man Hui roared angrily, throwing a punch towards Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu also abandoned his weapon and engaged Man Hui in hand-to-hand combat. The battle between the two giants shook the earth violently, as if mountains were collapsing.

Emperor Zhenwu and Yang Chan quickly retreated, returning to King Yan City.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

A series of divine thunderbolts suddenly fell wildly, instantly flattening everything within ten thousand meters. Countless demon soldiers were obliterated into fragments, but King Yan City was protected by ancient defensive enchantments and spared from the destruction.

Xiang Yu and Man Hui were obviously frantic with the urge to kill, ignoring all other lives and losing themselves in battle.

One punch from Man Hui landed on Xiang Yu’s face, sending blood flying from his mouth. But in the next second, he swiftly grabbed Man Hui’s arm, pulled forcefully, and drove his right knee into Man Hui’s bloodied chest. The clear crack of breaking bones was hair-raising.

"Why isn’t the wisp of Donghuang Taiyi’s divine spirit lending a hand?" Qin Jun asked Bai Ze, puzzled.

Even with just a wisp of divine soul, it shouldn’t be hard to save Man Hui.

Bai Ze frowned, her beautiful eyebrows knitting together, as she also wondered about this.

"Your Majesty, where did you abduct this guy called Xiang Yu from?" Yang Jian couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Hou Yi couldn’t help but look towards Qin Jun, as Xiang Yu’s fighting style was extremely similar to that of their Witch Clan, which made him have an illusion, so he was very interested in Xiang Yu.

"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed!" Qin Jun said with a mysterious smile, knowing they would be astonished to find out that Xiang Yu was the reincarnation of Emperor Shun.

Boom——

A thunderous roar came from outside the city, and Xiang Yu’s mana surged, whipping up winds around him like a tornado, his long hair undulating like numerous wicked dragons. At this moment, he seemed like a demon god possessed, invincible.

Rolling thunder fell upon him, making his flesh seem as though it was coated with a layer of metal, gleaming with golden light.

He was about to break through to Daluo and become an Immortal!

Man Hui was knocked back again, looking at the god-like Xiang Yu, his heart filled with increasing fear.

If Xiang Yu, at the pinnacle of Golden Immortal Realm, could clash with him evenly, what would happen if he broke through to become a Daluo-level Immortal?

"Man Hui! Fall back!"

The voice of Donghuang Taiyi suddenly echoed through heaven and earth, and from amidst the distant sandstorm, a towering figure slowly approached.

This scene made every creature in King Yan City break out in a cold sweat.

Was the Demon Emperor about to make a move?

Xiang Yu, however, narrowed his eyes and watched, feeling an overwhelming presence as he stared at the spiritual projection of Donghuang Taiyi.

Man Hui gritted his teeth and retreated with a face full of reluctance.

The thunder kept striking; Xiang Yu’s aura kept soaring. The battle ceased due to a single sentence from Donghuang Taiyi, and the world grew quiet, save for the roar of thunder and lightning.

Donghuang Taiyi didn’t immediately step out of the swirling sandstorm, as if waiting for Xiang Yu to break through.

The Demon Army he brought had already suffered casualties of over a quarter.

On King Yan City’s side, only the Six-Eared Macaque was seriously injured, and Zhenwu Emperor had a minor injury.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The thunderclouds slowly dispersed, and sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds.

Xiang Yu, who had bowed his head, gradually turned back into human form. His aura became more solid, unlike his previous wild vigor.

"Daluo Immortal."

Hou Yi murmured, his expression quite complex.

Because Xiang Yu’s breakthrough seemed too easy...

Yang Jian and Bai Ze both had their pupils contract, as gasps could be heard from atop the city walls.

Qin Jun took out a face-changing mask from his hand. This was a Thousand Faces mask that he had won in a random lottery a long time ago, capable of altering his appearance and aura. Since Donghuang Taiyi hadn’t met him before, Qin Jun wasn’t worried about being exposed.

He could tell that Donghuang Taiyi was up for negotiation next, otherwise, why would he just quietly wait for Xiang Yu to break through to become a Daluo Immortal?

After putting on the Thousand Faces mask, he took on another appearance, still handsome.

Well, one can’t hide good looks!

Qin Jun leapt up and landed on top of the city wall. Bai Ze, Yang Jian, and Hou Yi couldn’t show themselves; their strength was not weak, and if Donghuang Taiyi remembered their faces, it would surely spell trouble in the future.

Xiang Yu, now a zhang tall, raised his right hand and the Domineering Star Halberd flew from the ruins towards him.

"Xiang Yu, come over here!"

Qin Jun called out loudly. Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu glanced at Man Hui and the spiritual projection of Donghuang Taiyi before turning and flying towards King Yan City.

This scene, however, invigorated King Yan City. It turned out that this formidable man named Xiang Yu truly came to join them at King Yan Palace!
