Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1543: Chapter 1542: The Mother Nest Reveals Itself!

At this moment, from behind, the eight spirit beast powerhouses led by the old man continued their pursuit without stopping.

Their speed was at its maximum, yet they still maintained a ten-thousand-mile distance from the monkey.

”Boom, boom, boom...”

Layers of black mist dissipated as they burst through.

Initially, knowing the monkey was toying with them and the mist wasn’t the Origin of Death, they would still pause to check each time they encountered the black fog.

What if it really was the Origin of Death?

But as time went on and layers of fog were broken through, the last traces of caution in their hearts completely vanished.

Now, whenever they encountered black fog, they didn’t stop and directly passed through it.

Until...

”Ah!!!”

A piercing scream suddenly came from the mouth of one of the spirit beast powerhouses.

He rushed into the black fog but didn’t emerge unscathed like before.

The instant he entered the mist, it turned into black threads that pierced into his body!

With the penetration of these threads, his body immediately shriveled, as if countless blood flesh essence were forcibly extracted.

He could feel his lifespan... rapidly draining!!!

”This is truly the Law of Death!!!”

He roared to warn those beside him.

However, it was already too late.

They moved almost simultaneously, and as his scream echoed, the others also plunged into the black fog.

Countless black mist threads pierced into everyone’s bodies, year after year, draining their lifespan!

”Damn it!!!”

The old man roared in fury.

Though it was indeed the true Origin of Death, their cultivation base matched the monkey’s, so all it could do was drain some lifespan and slightly reduce their speed.

As for other effects, such as causing their deaths, the monkey was unable to do so.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

Silhouettes burst out from the fog, their once full forms now totally shriveled, appearing aged beyond recognition.

”Eight thousand years of lifespan... That damned monkey drained eight thousand years of my lifespan!!!”

The old man roared, eyes blood-red with murderous intent toward the monkey!

”Chase!!!”

Amidst the screeching, the old man’s body explosively transformed into an endless blood mist.

This blood mist then condensed, transforming into a... bloody roc!

This was the old man’s true form!!!

The roc spread its wings, covering nine thousand miles with a single flap.

This described the speed of a peak roc, something this bloody roc couldn’t fully achieve.

Its true form was faster than before, but at far greater energy cost.

Had it not been for his rage, the old man wouldn’t have transformed into his true form.

Besides the old man, the other seven also transformed into their true forms.

For a moment, the entire void was graced with massive silhouettes spanning unknown distances, resembling eight clouds, rapidly pursuing the monkey, leaving cultivators on Demon Sea Star stunned.

...

The teleportation formation was close!

The monkey’s divine sense already sensed its presence, but behind him, those enormous eight silhouettes were swiftly closing in.

”Unless something unexpected happens, even though their speed increased, they still can’t catch up with me!”

The monkey thought quietly.

But just then, his right eyelid twitched violently.

”Left eyelid means fortune, right eyelid means disaster...”

The monkey suddenly widened his eyes: ”No way? That damned mother nest is coming too?”

”Ka-cha!”

Right as the monkey spoke, the void ahead shattered!

An overwhelming pressure, brimming with immense forces, swept out from the fractured void, rushing straight for the monkey.

”Heaven... Heavenly Emperor Realm pressure!!!”

He almost instinctively shouted into the ring toward Su Han: ”Get out, hurry!!!”

Su Han’s face changed drastically; he knew what was about to happen and immediately emerged from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

”Let’s go together,” Su Han said solemnly.

”We can’t!”

The monkey shouted, ”If we try to leave together, neither of us will make it; hurry, go, go!!!”

Su Han hesitated in silence.

”You are the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, act decisively, go quickly!”

The monkey urged Su Han again.

As he said, if they left together, neither would succeed.

At this moment, the only option was for Su Han to leave quickly while the monkey... stayed behind to hold them off!

Although facing the terrifying Heavenly Emperor Realm, although he could very well be obliterated in an instant, the monkey still intended to shield Su Han from this blow.

Not due to deep affection between them but because of the monkey’s mother, Hongli!

Su Han took a deep breath, showcasing the decisiveness and soul power of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.

He didn’t speak further with the monkey; every word now was a waste of time.

”Whoosh!”

His cultivation base fully erupted, consuming Blazing Wine, and with peak combat power urging forth the most potent strength, he activated the Fourth Step of the Nine Steps of the Heavenly Dragon to rush forward.

The teleportation formation lay ahead; once he departed Demon Sea Star, he would be safe!

As for the monkey...

Su Han didn’t glance back, not because he was heartless or thought that monkey’s sacrifice was justified.

The monkey’s sacrifice allowed his escape; if he ended up failing, that would make the monkey’s sacrifice in vain!

”Remember, save my mother!!!”

The monkey’s voice was almost heart-wrenching, the second time Su Han heard it.

The first was when he met Hongli.

”Thank you...”

Su Han whispered in his heart, reaching peak speed.

”Buzz~”

Just then, a hum suddenly came from above.

”Ka-cha, ka-cha, ka-cha...”

As the hum resonated, everything within a million miles around exploded into pieces!

The overwhelming pressure, like layers of ocean waves, emerged from the fissures, indiscriminately blasting out.

Su Han was one of those about to be hit!

”Go!!!”

The monkey charged forth, shouting aloud.

The great staff in its hand materialized again, wielding the Origin of Death and every ounce of its power it could muster, fiercely swinging toward the incoming pressure’s source.

”Boom!!!”

The explosion resounded, the pressure shattered, and Su Han’s pale complexion regained some color as he darted through the pressure and swiftly distanced from the fissure!

While looking back now, a massive white silhouette was seen slowly emerging from the fissure...
