Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 298 Prove the Path of Testimony with Strength! Prove the Path of Testimony with Luck!

"Greetings to the Celestial Authority Demon Star!"

The hundred-zhang stone statue issued a dull and robust voice, like a Giant God roaring lowly.

Celestial Authority Demon Star!

Yue Qinglong looked at Su Yie, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi was puzzled.

Su Yie narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you seen me before?"

As soon as he spoke, Eastern Emperor Taiyi turned his head sharply, looking at Su Yie with astonishment.

"Destiny dictates, Celestial Authority is revered!"

The hundred-zhang stone statue replied solemnly, uttering an enigmatic phrase.

Afterward, no matter how Su Yie questioned it, it repeated the same phrase as if it were a recording machine.

Su Yie's eyes gleamed, and he commanded, "Kowtow to me three times with loud bangs!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The hundred-zhang stone statue slammed its forehead against the ground, shaking the entire Imperial Palace.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi said irritably, "Aren't you afraid it will shatter by bullying it like this?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yie immediately pointed at Eastern Emperor Taiyi and ordered the hundred-zhang stone statue, "Kill him!"

Boom—

The hundred-zhang stone statue leaped up, wielding a large saber and striking at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who hastily dodged.

One strike split the ground, flinging debris into the air.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi cursed furiously, "Scourge! Aren't you being too petty?"

The hundred-zhang stone statue continued to pursue Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Meanwhile, Su Yie asked Yue Qinglong, "Does he truly take me as his master?"

Yue Qinglong glanced at him sidelong, saying meaningfully, "Your Celestial Authority Demon Star is extraordinary; it can even devour the strongest Emperor Zi Wei Star. Perhaps the Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor left this palace waiting for you."

"I'm now very curious about your origin. Who are your parents?"

Facing Yue Qinglong's question, Su Yie replied without hesitation, "They are merely mortals."

"What about further back? Anyone could undergo reincarnation; who are your primordial parents?"

Yue Qinglong pressed on, for how could a true mortal have such a heaven-defying opportunity?

Every Star of Taoist Fruition that appears must be recognized by the Great Dao.

Isn't that to say the Great Dao is paving the way for Su Yie?

Su Yie was stunned by the question; where would he know who his parents were in his past life?

At that moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's pleading voice drifted over, "Su Yie! Brother Su! I was wrong! Make him stop!"

Seeing his sincere plea, Su Yie immediately commanded, "Cease!"

The hundred-zhang stone statue halted, then turned around and continued to prostrate in worship of Su Yie, still with the demeanor of respectful devotion.

Su Yie said to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, "Please do learn from this."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's chest heaved violently with anger, but there was no way he was going to kneel to Su Yie!

"Could it be that the Imperial Sea Palace's existence is just waiting for you?"

Just then, Feng Long spoke up indifferently.

Ever since Yue Qinglong appeared, the two Sword Souls dared not make a sound, fearing discovery.

Su Yie did not answer; he too had doubts in his heart.

Leaving aside the Xuanyuan Human Emperor, the existence of the Great Dao Communication Device had always been a riddle, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

He felt annoyed but powerless; to seek the reasons, he was still too weak to see everything clearly.

"Let's continue on; perhaps the answer lies above," said Yue Qinglong, prompting Su Yie and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had no objections, to move forward.

Along the way, every floor of the palace had a hundred-zhang stone statue that prostrated upon seeing Su Yie, and Su Yie looted all the treasures on each floor. Occasionally, Yue Qinglong and Eastern Emperor Taiyi would claim certain items, and Su Yie generously yielded them.

They pressed onward.

A full two hours passed.

They arrived in front of the doors to the top level.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi suddenly frowned, clutching at his chest, and both Su Yie and Yue Qinglong could hear the sound of his heartbeat.

Su Yie glanced at him and asked, "Are you on drugs?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi snorted coldly, "I don't know why, but I feel as if something inside is calling to me."

Yue Qinglong looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi in surprise, his right hand moving as if calculating something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Your fate has changed, it has become as murky as Brother Su's."

Yue Qinglong stared at Eastern Emperor Taiyi as he spoke, to which Eastern Emperor Taiyi reacted with unexpected delight.

Having been at the end of his fate, the appearance of a turning point naturally elated him.

He immediately pushed open the grand doors and strode inside.

Once the doors opened, what came into view for Su Yie and the others was an expanse of darkness.

Clang!

A beam of light appeared, shining on the depths of the hall, where there stood an altar with two items floating above it — a token and an Iron Bell.

As Su Yie followed and stepped inside, the doors slammed shut behind them.

"Celestial Authority Demon Star, Purple Micro Golden Crow, you've finally arrived!"

Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

A vast and ancient voice echoed throughout the hall as if a deity had descended.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Su Yie and Yue Qinglong had already guessed the identity of the voice's owner, so they remained silent, quietly waiting.

"I am the Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor, once standing at the pinnacle of the Ancient Wilderness. Now that the Immortal Path is severed, I wish to bestow upon you a mission."

The vast voice spoke again, not waiting for Eastern Emperor Taiyi to inquire further as it began to introduce itself.

"The Ancient Immortal Gods sealed the Ancient Wilderness, severing the Immortal Path. The Ancient Wilderness needs a great unraveling and establishment, and I have foreseen that on this day, the Ancient Wilderness will see many heroes rise. Thus, I have left two Paths of Testimony; one is to prove oneself through strength, using the Chaos Clock to break open Tian Gang and ascend to sainthood on the spot, and the other is to prove oneself through luck, to take control of the Imperial Palace!"

"To prove oneself through strength, one needs great Cultivation, to be invincible in one's era, to truly testify."

"To prove oneself through luck, one needs extraordinary courage, to become an enemy of all living beings, which is very dangerous."

"You can only choose one path, and your destiny will be completely altered thereafter."

Su Yie and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were left in shock.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi stared intently at the Chaos Clock, feeling a call from it, a sensation like that of kinship.

Yue Qinglong pondered, "Could this be the legendary Chessboard of Geniuses?"

"What is the Chessboard of Geniuses?"

Su Yie asked curiously, wondering if Yue Qinglong knew something.

Yue Qinglong stroked his chin, saying, "It is said that the Ancient Immortal Gods made a rule to decide upon a heaven-sent genius from the worlds. These geniuses, driven by fate, will be compelled to battle each other, and the last one standing will ascend to a dominion that surpasses even the Immortal Gods, though the truth of this is uncertain."

What the Ancient Desolation Supreme Emperor had spoken aligned with the rules of the Chessboard of Geniuses.

To prove oneself through strength, one must be invincible, and to prove oneself through luck, one must be an enemy to all living beings. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be the Chessboard of Geniuses, seeking to determine the strongest among them.

Su Yie and Eastern Emperor Taiyi exchanged glances, each seeing the fighting spirit in the other's eyes.

"I choose the Path of Testimony through luck!"

Su Yie said without hesitation. With the Imperial Seal of Destruction and the Technique of Devouring Luck in his possession, not choosing the Path of Testimony through luck would be folly!

Moreover, he had heard of the Chaos Clock.

Isn't the Chaos Clock the companion Magic Treasure of Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the Hua Xia mythos of the Primordial?

Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked at Su Yie appreciatively, for Su Yie had chosen the more dangerous path, evidently noticing his gaze and recognizing his fondness for the Chaos Clock.

He said nothing more, choosing to keep his gratitude in his heart.

The two Demons stepped forward, walking toward the altar.

As they looked at their figures, Yue Qinglong seemed somewhat dazed and began to calculate again, his expression drastically changing in the process.
