Peerless God Emperor

"It's you." Eastern Emperor Hao's eyes slightly narrowed, as if he had recognized who this person was. Within this shrine, this person was sitting right in front of him, watching over and comprehending this divine statue.    

He had already forgotten about this matter. To think that this fellow would appear once more. Not only that, wasn't he afraid of death when he spoke rudely to him?    

"Who are you?" The Eastern Emperor Hao looked at Hou Sheng and asked, since he dared to stand in front of him and step into the shrine, he must not be a nobody.    

"I'm your grandpa Hou!" Hou Sheng replied proudly. His tone was majestic and arrogant.    

"Grandpa Hou …"    

Countless pairs of eyes stared blankly at him, feeling extremely speechless in their hearts. They all thought to themselves, 'Can this fellow still have any shame?'    

Who do you think you are? He actually took advantage of the Eastern Emperor Hao, he was simply drunk!    

"You're courting death!" The Eastern Emperor Chen Yu's voice was ice-cold, his eyes filled with killing intent. The only way to humiliate his royal brother was death.    

With a loud bang, Eastern Emperor Hao's gaze also became cold and indifferent, his body exuding a strong killing intent as he rushed towards the direction of the Hou Sheng.    

Grandpa Hou?    

The killing intent coming from Eastern Emperor Hao's body was extremely strong. He raised his triple-edged and two-edged blade and stabbed forward directly. He didn't even show any signs of brewing, it seemed that just a casual attack was enough to kill Hou Sheng.    

In the eyes of Eastern Emperor Hao, Hou Sheng was simply not a worthy opponent.    

"Come at me!" Hou Sheng shouted, and an extremely berserk Qi swept out from his body, as if an ancient Demonic Beast woke up. A terrifying demonic might descended on the Endless Area, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble, what a strong pressure!    

Both of his hands gripped the black long rod tightly as he swung out with his staff. An extremely terrifying aura of heaven and earth gathered and a faint shadow of a great dao rod appeared in the sky as the shadow of the great dao staff smashed against the Eastern Emperor's attack with an overflowing amount of might.    

Boom!    

An intense sound rang out in the air as the Hou Sheng's body was sent flying high into the sky. The Eastern Emperor also retreated several steps before coming to a stop. He looked at the Hou Sheng with some surprise in his eyes.    

"This …" The hearts of countless people in the Ling Mountain pounded incessantly. Their gazes froze as though they were looking at an inconceivable scene.    

Kai Yangzi's eyes also froze, as he looked at the marquis as if he were looking at a beast race.    

A single blow had knocked back the Eastern Emperor.    

What level of power was that?    

Within the Xia Wang Jie Palace, many figures gasped for breath at the same time, their eyes staring straight at the light curtain, how is this possible?    

They had already personally witnessed the strength of Eastern Emperor Hao. Even a casual blow from him was stronger than an ordinary expert at the peak of High Rank of Monarch Stage, yet this Hou Sheng actually accepted it, and even forced Eastern Emperor Hao to retreat.    

Bai Mian's attack couldn't even shake the Eastern Emperor Hao, but Hou Sheng had done it.    

From the looks of it, they had likely underestimated the strength of the marquis.    

Although it was possible that the Eastern Emperor Hao had released his physical defense to its strongest when fighting the white corona, and had underestimated the Hou Sheng when fighting him, being forced back by the Hou Sheng, but even so, to be able to force the Eastern Emperor Hao to retreat was enough to show that the Hou Sheng was not ordinary.    

"This kid is someone I value, no one can touch his thoughts!" Yuheng Zi grinned and said loudly. He was beaming with happiness and a complacent look on his face, as if he was afraid that Hou Sheng was his man.    

The spectators all revealed expressions of disbelief when they heard what Yuheng Zi said. Could it be that everything he said before was true?    

From the beginning, he had never intended to take in the Eastern Emperor Hao as his disciple, thus he had repeatedly made things difficult for the Eastern Emperor Hao without considering the consequences.    

The Eastern Emperor Hao looked towards Hou Sheng and said, "You do have quite a bit of strength, to actually be able to take one of my blows and even force me back with luck. It seems I've underestimated you."    

"You're not bad either. There aren't many people who can fight Grandpa Hou." Although there didn't seem to be much of a ripple on his face, if one were to observe carefully, one would notice that his hands were trembling and his gaze had become more serious than before.    

Obviously, he had also realized the power of the Eastern Emperor Hao.    

"Take another strike from me." Every move of his seemed to bear the essence of the heaven and earth, while the triple-edged, double-edged blade in his hand rotated and attacked forward, triggering a terrifying whirlpool, destroying everything in its path, even the space itself seemed to be shattered.    

"Roar!" The long rod in his hands danced about as though it was executing a type of staff art. The might surrounding his body grew increasingly stronger, as though it was the might of the heavens themselves, pressuring downwards as countless terrifying staff silhouettes descended from the skies, akin to a natural born rod, seemingly capable of crushing everything in its path.    

Kai Yangzi raised his head to look at the sky, his deep gaze pierced through the Endless Space. When Hou Sheng was dancing with his staff, he could vaguely see a sacred phantom appear behind the marquis. That phantom was tall and majestic, and although it was incredibly illusory, it still emitted a faintly discernible pressure.    

"That is …" A trace of deep thought appeared in Kai Yangzi's eyes. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he still did not know the origin of the phantom.    

Perhaps, Tian Shu Zi would know one or two things.    

"Boom …" Countless pole shadows descended from the sky, colliding with the blade lights and producing deafening sounds.    

The two streams of energy clashed violently, wanting to suppress the other party. But soon after, an extremely terrifying shockwave blasted out, causing the entire space to tremble, as though they couldn't withstand the pressure.    

"What a violent battle..." The hearts of the spectators pounded with fear. The attacks of the two were so simple and crude, filled with destructive might. If ordinary Emperor level characters were to approach the area where they were battling, they would instantly be obliterated by the shockwaves.    

This time, the Hou Sheng was sent flying even higher into the sky. Furthermore, the black long rod in his hands was actually split in half, it was obvious that it was cut in half by the battle just now.    

The Eastern Emperor Hao was once again forced to retreat, but with a much more relaxed manner than before.    

"Good boy!" Kai Yangzi looked at Hou Sheng with appreciation and whispered in his heart. He originally didn't like the Eastern Emperor Hao very much, but now that he saw him being forced back, he was naturally happy to see it happen.    

As Hou Sheng landed on the ground, the gazes of the crowd all landed on that figure. Who would have thought that there would be such a powerful force hidden within that skinny figure? This was simply unbelievable.    

The Eastern Emperor Hao once again looked at Hou Sheng, his eyes revealing a deep meaning.    

He originally thought that within his generation, there would not be anyone who would be able to directly clash with him, but today, he actually met someone like him. Moreover, his cultivation was even lower than his, only at the peak of the Early Rank of Emperor Stage.    

"Hou Sheng, right? I've remembered your name." The Eastern Emperor Hao looked at Hou Sheng and said, "You are the first person who was able to defend against so many of my attacks. I won't kill you today, I'll let you live for now."    

"What arrogant words. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Hou Sheng coldly snorted. Both of his hands held a broken staff while blood flowed from his palms. However, there wasn't much of a reaction on his face. It was as though the injury was nothing to him.    

"You don't even have a weapon, can you still beat me?" Dong Huang Hao said in a bland voice, and then continued, "Besides, I still haven't used my full strength in the previous battle, otherwise, you would have been utterly defeated."    

The spectators' hearts twitched. The battle had already reached its peak, yet he still dared to claim that he hadn't used his full strength even after slashing through the weapon wielded by the marquis?    

If he were to use his full strength, just how strong would he be?    

"He's boasting so much!" Although he said this out loud, he had no choice but to admit that the fighting strength that the Eastern Emperor Hao had revealed was still weaker than when he was fighting against the white corona.    

This meant that the Eastern Emperor Hao had yet to truly view Hou Sheng as his opponent.    

After all, the two were separated by an entire realm. The only reason Hou Sheng was able to push back the Eastern Emperor Hao was because the Eastern Emperor Hao was merely using his body to resist the attack and did not use the power of the War God.    

"It's because my weapon is inferior to yours. It has nothing to do with my talent, let alone your cultivation being above mine. How can you be worthy of being proud of?" The Hou Sheng retorted unwillingly. He had never submitted to anyone before.    

Even Eastern Emperor Hao could not do so.    

His three-pointed, two-edged blade was a holy weapon, and even top-grade imperial weapon would shatter under his attack. Indeed, he did have a slight advantage.    

"But no matter what, you have already lost this battle." The Eastern Emperor Hao said in a bland voice. After which, he shifted his gaze away from Hou Sheng and looked at Jiang Fengjue's silhouette. No matter what, he wouldn't let this man go.    

"With me here, no one can touch him!" Hou Sheng spoke coldly, as if he had made up his mind.    

"If I want to kill someone, you can't stop me." Eastern Emperor Hao's eyes swept over Hou Sheng, his eyes were filled with a hint of coldness. No one could stop his decision, it was one thing for him to admire Hou Sheng, but if Hou Sheng insisted on going against him, he would still kill him.    

Hou Sheng's eyes looked straight into the eyes of the Eastern Emperor Hao. His body stood in front of the Eastern Emperor Hao, not saying a word, but he had already expressed his determination.    

"You want to die for someone who has nothing to do with you?" Dong Huang Hao said in a deep voice, and his tone was filled with a slight sense of power.    

"He's not someone who has nothing to do with us. He's my friend." The voice of the marquis was incomparably loud as it resounded through the void.    

"Since that's the case, you can die for him!" A sharp light flashed across the eyes of the Eastern Emperor Hao as his killing intent surged. Just as he was about to make his move against the Hou Sheng, a voice suddenly rang out from above, "Who do you want to kill?"    

As the voice faded, the entire room turned silent.    

The gazes of countless people turned over, only to see several figures flying over from the sky. Each of these figures exuded an ethereal and ethereal aura, as though they were deities that could hide from the world and not touch the world …
