Chapter 366: The only one existence!

KREEEEE!!

The Skull Centipede Emperor, previously thought to be defeated by the combined strike of Shen Murong, Wang Dong and Wei Wang suddenly screeched out loudly, snapping the people back into their rational mind from the allure of the Ultimate graded weapons!

"Ah! It's not dead yet!"

"How is this possible?!"

All the broken and fractured bones of the monster began to fix themselves together, the horrifying sight made everyone unconsciously stepped back!

"F*ck! We forgot one important thing about the Skull Centipede Emperor!" Ling Shin cursed out.

Everyone then realized what he meant by that, making their countenance pale and their knees to buckle down in despair. It was because the monster in front of them was..

An undead!

This was why undead enemies were the most terrifying out of all the other types of monsters. Unless they were killed by a light attribute attack, or that their curse remains unlifted, they will still resurrect themselves again and again as long as a single bone still remains!

This was similar to when they encountered the undead skeletons when they first entered the ruin!

"We have no chance to defeat it anymore! Princess, you must escape along with the rest of them!" Elder Cheng Chao turned towards Princess Meixiu with a serious expression.

"Elder, no!" Princess Meixiu understood what her personal maid was trying to do.

She was going to hold the Skull Centipede Emperor by herself, sacrificing her life in the end! This was a common tragic ending in some of the novel that she read in her free time.

Gritting her teeth, Elder Cheng Chao suppressed the tumultous emotions inside her heart and turned around, stepping forward to face the Skull Centipede Emperor!

"Ling Shin and Ruo Hen, protect the princess with your life. You know what will happen if she lost her life here!" she said without turning her back.

Wengg!!

As a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, she still had plenty of spiritual Qi reserves to fight and block the undead in front of them alone. Even though the chances of her making it out in the end was practically nill, for her, it was neccessary in order to let the princess survive!

Driving her spritual Qi inside her meridians to the limit, the air around her started to vibrate and seethed out!

Previously, she was still holding herself back but now, she could no longer afford to do so. She was going to release everything from here on out.

"Stop! What are you guys trying to do? We cannot leave Elder Cheng Chao to face that monster alone!"

Ling Shin and Ruo Hen lifted the immobilized princess and ran towards an empty tunnelway that that they discovered during their fight, taking their chances and hoping it to be the exit. After all, staying would inevitably means death for everyone.

"Let me go! No! Elder!" the princess cried out with her heart. From a young age, Elder Cheng Chao was always with her wherever she went to and in this regard, the other party was more like a mother to her than anything else, even when compared to her real mother, the Empress of the Doulou Empire!

Meanwhile, Shen Murong, Wang Dong and Wei Wang that were already exhausted and was no longer able to move or fight could only sighed out at this unexpected ending. They had already given their all, but the monster was still alive and couldn't be killed!

Their only regret was not realizing it sooner that the monster they were facing was an undead!

Just as they thought that their life would end there, something happened!

"Eh? What's that?"

Wengg!!

A ripple in the space in front of them suddenly appeared, attracting their attention. The resulting ripple causes strong turbulence in the huge cavern which also attracted the attention of the escaping expedition party as they turned around.

"A teleportation portal?" Elder Cheng Chao widened her eyes in disbelief!

Teleportation was a skill art that was exceedingly rare in the Tian continent, and she only knew a handful of people in the Doulou Empire that could use it, which could be counted by hand. However, to the best of her knowledge, it should not be possible to open a portal where the user had not been to!

Since they had just discovered this ruin, it was not possible that an expert from their Empire could suddenly teleport at their position! More than that, just the sheer vast distance between their empire and their current location already made it impossible to teleport!

Thus, the only possible explanation was that..

The expert capable of using the teleportation skill was someone from the Jiu Empire!

Just who is it?

Crack!

A hand pulled out the fabric of space before revealing a silhouette stepping outside from the portal. This figure wore a majestic white robe and donning a white plain mask. His long black hair draped over his shoulder and down to his back with his lean figure created a mysterious sensation, inducing subconscious subservience on those that witnessed this sight!

Elder Cheng Chao and Princess Meixiu were very familiar with this kind of unique aura and disposition the other party was giving them. It was similar to the presence of someone sitting at the very apex of the power chain..

An Emperor!

Arriving at this thought, Elder Cheng Chao immediately clasped her hands together towards the figure that just arrived. A gesture of the utmost respect!

"Paying respects to the Jiu Emperor, Jiu Xian Ping!" she said with a gladdened voice.

If the Emperor himself was here, then their situation finally turned out for the better. After all, no matter where one went, the supreme might of an Emperor was unquestionable!

Gasp!

"That person.. is the Jiu Emperor?" the retreating expedition party was shocked, before kneeling on the ground.

"Paying respects to the Jiu Emperor!"

Hearing this, the White figure with his hands clasped behind his back snorted, appearing to be displeased.

"Hmph. What Jiu Emperor? Do you think that I am someone that insignificant?" the White figure said, his voice sounded distorted under his mask.

"Ah?" everyone was dumbfounded by this statement.

To say that an emperor was insignificant, someone who could move the mountains and hills around by their whims..

Who is this fellow actually?

Elder Cheng Chao was even more surprised by this. She dared not believe that her senses was wrong in identifying the majestic and overbearing presence of an emperor!

"Hahahaha! You are finally here! What took you so long dammit?" Shen Murong laughed out, his previous exhaustion was somehow lifted by the presence of the person in front of them.

"You think that I am so free?" the White figure harrumphed and turned to look at the frozen Skull Centipede Emperor. It seems that its survival instinct that was long dead with its life was forcefully turned on somehow in front of the White figure! It wasn't able to move no matter what it tried!

This was primordial fear!

"What is this thing? You guys are troubled by this insect?" the White figure threw out a casual backhanded slap that seemed to be the most ordinary thing in the world, like shooing an annoying fly!

However..

PENGG!!

As if being hit by a mountain, the Skull Centipede Emperor was catapulted to the wall of the cavern and created a huge depression on it!

BOOMM!!

This sight widened the eyes of everyone except the trio. They had expected this to happen as soon as the White figure appeared!

Who else was as overpowered as this person? There was only one existence!

Shen Murong, Wang Dong and Wei Wang chuckled and shook their head before kneeling, and what they said at the next moment seemed to shatter the minds of everyone around them!

"Paying respects to the Imperial Overseer!"
