"The Martial Emperor has given chase!"


    "What is he planning to do? Is he attempting to hunt down the Third Elder of Shadow Valley?"


    "How could that be? The Third Elder is a powerful being at the third divine level! Killing him would be as difficult as scaling the heavens, even the Martial Emperor, however strong he may be, couldn''t kill him!"


    "But, regardless of his intent, his pursuit clearly has an ulterior motive. Perhaps he will implement a strategy beyond our imagination!"


    "Let''s see what his true intentions are!" Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire


    ...


    From the Third Elder''s ambush on Chu Yuan, to Chu Yuan''s chase, it only took a few breaths. The multitude of mighty warriors witnessing these changes rushed to keep up, not even paying attention to the grand divine temple.


    To them, they were more curious about Chu Yuan''s intentions.


    It happened so quickly!


    Chu Yuan disappeared in an instant.


    "Where is Dawu Emperor?"


    The Third Elder was well-versed in the art of traversing the void, and his speed was extraordinary. But he also furrowed his brows — there was a terrifying presence quickly catching up to him from behind.


    "You want to chase me? Interesting. Let''s see exactly how fast you are!"


    The Third Elder suddenly became ethereal and invisible.


    Moreover, he did not go straight, but moved trhough space in a maze-like pattern — left, right — making it difficult to track him down.


    However, the presence shadowed him relentlessly, unnerving the Third Elder.


    His Divine Realm''s strength couldn''t shake off Chu Yuan.


    "Hmph!"


    The Third Elder finally halted, no longer fleeing. In the void, he calmly waited for Chu Yuan, and upon seeing him appear, he blandly stated, "Martial Emperor, you have been persistent in pursuing me. Do you seek revenge?"


    Chu Yuan hovered in the void, looking coldly at the Third Elder, not speaking a single word, but he took out a transparent miniature knife.


    Seeing this knife caused the Third Elder to erupt into laughter, "Do you intend to kill me with this small knife? My life will not be so easily taken."


    The God Slaying Blade!


    Chu Yuan abruptly held the miniature knife and directed it at the Third Elder. A force burst forth from it.


    A blade light split through the void, causing the void to rupture in half. The force directly targeted the Third Elder.


    "Haha, just a mere seal force."


    The Third Elder didn''t care. The dagger in his hand was an Emperor-class Divine Artifact called the Slaying Dagger, so he used it to collide against the blade light.


    However, at the next moment, the blade light pierced through his mana and directly slashed his chest!


    "The Third Elder is dead!"


    They all knew that the Third Elder of Shadow Valley was slain by the Dawu Martial Emperor.


    But they only heard three harrowing screams in a very short period; they didn''t even see the means Chu Yuan used. The Third Elder was already dead; his death was tragic and violent.


    "When was the last time a God fell in Shadow Valley!"


    They all clearly understood how tough it was to deal with Shadow Valley.


    Who could''ve expected the Third Elder to die before accomplishing his mission!


    Chu Yuan didn''t waste time arguing with them, carrying the corpse of the Third Elder, step by step, heading towards them.


    These gods one by one retreated in fear.


    Ignoring them and carrying the body with him, Chu Yuan returned to the center of the eastern district, standing atop the grand divine temple.


    "The Third Elder of Shadow Valley!"


    Xiao Zihua did not chase after them. Seeing Chu Yuan bring back the dead body of the Third Elder, his heart was overwhelmed. He intended to warn Chu Yuan to be careful of this man, but now this threat was directly eliminated.


    "I''ll take this temple. Do you have any objections?"


    Chu Yuan''s voice was very calm.


    At that moment, the atmosphere turned deadly silent, and the gods fell silent.


    An ancient figure from the Eastern Forbidden Area spoke up, "Don''t fear him. This is just a show of underlying strength, he has definitely expended a lot already. This is just a scare tactic. If we all take action together, he won''t stand a chance."


    But after the ancient figure''s voice echoed,


    The Gods fell into contemplation.


    Would they bet on whether the Martial Emperor still had the power to slay gods or would they avoid his attack first?


    Gods value their lives highly; nurturing oneself to supreme spiritual heights is very difficult.


    They did not dare to gamble with their lives, after all, they didn''t know how many moves Chu Yuan still had up his sleeve, and whether those could be unleashed again.


    The fact that the Third Elder was easily slain indeed frightened them. They feel that they cannot pressure this man too much; otherwise, they would be the ones suffering bad luck.


    One thing was irrefutably true, the Martial Emperor''s strength is also very strong, a god or two couldn''t kill him. If they forced him into a desperate situation, no one would benefit.


    These ancient figures who want to die aren''t scared, but these Gods at their peak sure are.


    No one dared to casually agree.


    Chu Yuan chose to eliminate the Third Elder to deter them, keeping them from casually dealing with him within this period of time and implant an unassailable impression inside their hearts.


    Seeing them all silent, Chu Yuan understood he had achieved his goal.


    The grand divine temple was seized by him with one motion, instantly along with the Devouring Hand, it fell into his System Space.


    Carrying the blood-soaked corpse of the Third Elder, Chu Yuan walked step by step out of the divine land. At this moment, no one dared to casually attack him, they could only watch as he returned to his own troops.
