Chapter 2376: Chapter 2377: Run!

The Heavenly Emperor has completed cultivating the dark arts and is no longer in seclusion.

After his subordinates reported the recent events in the Eastern Wastelands, Di Shi Tian’s gaze was sharp, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "These sects are truly useless, they can’t even handle three ants. No matter, I’ll go personally. My dark arts need human subjects for experimentation, and the lives of those under Ye Fentian will serve as my test subjects."

The Heavenly Emperor’s voice echoed through the grand hall, and he vanished in an instant.

For the past few days, Cain, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng have been destroying the industries of those large sects, and the opponents were powerless against them. As long as they were careful, nothing would happen.

"Now, most of these sects’ industries have been destroyed by us, and the remaining ones are guarded by several celestial-level experts, making them difficult to capture," Qin Feng said.

"Perhaps we should change our strategy," Jin Shanshun suggested.

"I think we should pause for a while, then plan our next move. Even a rabbit bites when cornered, let alone people. We shouldn’t become complacent just because of our recent success," Cain said.

Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng disagreed, feeling that pressing the advantage was best, and if they were to strike, they should hurt those sects deeply.

But Cain persisted with his viewpoint, primarily because he had an inexplicable sense of unease today. It was a premonition that rarely appeared, only manifesting when great danger was approaching.

If they continued to act, Cain feared the three would face danger, so he wanted to stop for a while. However, using this reason with Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng might not convince them, since no one can predict unmanifested events.

Ultimately, Cain agreed to continue, but only for one more day, and then they must return to the Dan Shen Sect.

Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng were eager, not only destroying the sects’ industries but also seizing any valuable items inside. Their spoils grew daily, and generally, Cain didn’t need to intervene; Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng could handle the situation, which greatly benefited them in strengthening their abilities. This was the main reason they didn’t want to stop.

The trio set off again, continuing their actions.

But this time, before they reached their destination, Cain’s expression changed.

"Get out of here quickly."

Cain’s face was full of shock, leaving Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng puzzled, "What’s going on, why should we leave?"

It’s no surprise the two were confused—there was indeed no one around, and they didn’t know what startled Cain.

Yet, very soon, the two understood why Cain urged them to leave.

They saw a blood-red mass rapidly approaching from afar, moving at an incredible speed.

"What is that?"

Both Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng were stunned. Although they didn’t know what the strange thing was ahead, their instincts as Martial Artists told them that danger was imminent.

So why wait? They had to escape immediately.

The three of them fled at high speed, but not only did the red cloud not lose pace with them, it came even closer.

"So fast."

The trio was simultaneously shocked, and Jin Shanshun shouted, "Enter the battleship."

The galaxy battleship was deployed at a crucial moment. Once inside, the trio immediately initiated spatial jumps, just as they had evaded the sects’ experts before.

The red cloud spread like a tidal wave and, despite the galaxy battleship breaking through the void incessantly, it continued its relentless pursuit.

Nearby, everyone watched in shock, gaping at the blood-red cloud streaking across the sky. No one had ever seen such a scene.

Moving clouds would be one thing, but for them to seem alive—it was shocking.

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

A celestial powerhouse appeared, standing in the void; after all, such a spectacle could attract experts of any level.

"Could it be some demonic entity?" A celestial powerhouse couldn’t discern the nature of the entity above, and wanted to test it, but as he moved, the cloud suddenly transformed into a colossal face overlooking the sky.

It was laughing, indifferent, cold, and unfeeling.

An ever-changing face emerged, and this time, everyone saw it clearly—the horrifying and uncanny visage formed by the red cloud.

"Heavenly... Hea... Emperor..."

Someone recognized the face of the Heavenly Emperor and uttered his identity, sending shivers through all who heard. Could it be that the red cloud was crafted by the Heavenly Emperor?

The celestial powerhouse who had intended to probe immediately stopped and hastened to apologize to the Heavenly Emperor.

Though the Heavenly Emperor’s face remained expressionless, he stared at the man for a moment before his visage scattered, allowing the celestial powerhouse to breathe a sigh of relief, quietly thanking his luck, for offending the Heavenly Emperor would not bode well.

Yet in the next second, his eyes widened.

A crimson spear had pierced through the center of his brow.

The spear formed by the red cloud moved at an imperceptible speed, instantly penetrating the celestial powerhouse’s skull.

Everyone saw that the celestial powerhouse did not die instantly. He was trying to pull out the spear, and in the struggle, his skin rapidly withered, his flesh melted away, leaving only a skeleton that fell to the ground with a clatter.

Those witnessing the scene dared not move, overwhelmed by the Heavenly Emperor’s terrifying power.

A celestial powerhouse had been effortlessly killed, reduced to mere bones.

It was terrifying.

Senior experts remarked that the Heavenly Emperor had grown stronger, more frightening than before.

But some people felt puzzled; the Heavenly Emperor’s power today looked different from before. The red cloud exuded an incredibly sinister aura.

Especially when he killed the celestial powerhouse just now, it was as if he absorbed all his blood energy and strength, leaving just a useless corpse.

Though people had doubts, who could question the Heavenly Emperor about the cultivation techniques he practiced?

While the galaxy battleship continued its journey, the scene of the Heavenly Emperor killing the celestial powerhouse was unseen by Cain and his companions. From the moment the Heavenly Emperor appeared, they focused solely on fleeing, unaware if they had escaped his pursuit, continuing to jump through space.

After a long while, Jin Shanshun felt they could stop, as the menacing red cloud hadn’t caught up.

"I’ll go out and take a look. You two stay here. If anything happens, leave immediately without concerning yourselves with me," Cain instructed before leaving the galaxy battleship.

Standing in the cosmos, Cain scanned the surroundings. The red cloud indeed had not followed, which was reassuring. But why did the feeling of anxiety still linger in his heart?

Just as Cain was pondering this, a voice came from above the galaxy battleship: "Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly filled with dread as though struck by lightning, Cain stared at the figure in front of him, seeing the Heavenly Emperor standing atop the galaxy battleship.

They had not managed to shake off this formidable entity; he had been there all along!

"Run!"

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor here, Cain shouted with all his might.
