Chapter 323: King's Persistence!

"The first thing, I once went to a place that allowed me to quickly break through to the eighth order, even reaching the peak of the eighth order as it is now. I'll only tell you about this place. It's located at the highest peak in the world. Take this item with you, and you'll be able to find it."

Su Chen saw the purple crystal in South Emperor's hand. It looked splendid, much more beautiful than any Energy Crystal.

Su Chen could imagine how important this item was. It was the opportunity that could elevate South Emperor to the peak of the eighth order. Yet, he gave it to Su Chen.

However, Su Chen was somewhat puzzled. If South Emperor had this opportunity, why didn't he give it to the other Kings?

If all Human Emperors were at the peak of the eighth order, they would have long wiped out the Mutant Beasts.

But Su Chen thought of a possibility. From what he had seen, South Emperor wasn't someone who hoarded treasures. Giving this opportunity to him was a good example; he definitely wished for more strong humans.

So, there was only one possibility: this opportunity had some limitations, or it was very dangerous!

If there were limitations, that's understandable. But if it was a dangerous place, once South Emperor told the other Kings, they would all try to go there. If a few of them accidentally fell, humanity might not survive until now.

The thought flashed through Su Chen's mind, and he put away the purple crystal, preparing to listen to the second thing South Emperor had to say.

"The second thing, you should know that on the Mutant Beast's side, there's a Late Eighth Order Mutant Beast, right?"

Seeing Su Chen nod, South Emperor continued, "That Mutant Beast is very powerful, just a hair away from breaking through to the peak of the eighth order. Even I would find it challenging to kill it. Once I die, there will be no one capable of suppressing it. So, I've decided... before I die, I'll use my last burst of power."

At this point, a faint light seemed to emanate from South Emperor's body, and he suddenly floated off the bed, standing in mid-air.

At this moment, South Emperor didn't look like an Old Man on the verge of death but more like a warrior about to head to the battlefield!

"You... Elder, what is this?" Emperor Su was stunned by South Emperor's display, unable to grasp the situation.

Indeed, how could South Emperor suddenly appear as if nothing was wrong? He didn't look like someone who was about to pass away.

"Emperor Su, this is my final power. This is the last time we'll meet," South Emperor smiled and looked at Su Chen. "Once I'm gone, no Human Emperor will be able to resist the Late Eighth Order Mutant Beast. Fortunately, I once noticed its seclusion spot, so I'm prepared to give it my all with this final burst of power."

"I, South Emperor Yin Weimin, am willing to die for humanity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, South Emperor's figure disappeared from the room.

Su Chen stood there in a daze, South Emperor's actions and words had a profound impact on him.

This Old Man had devoted his entire life to humanity, even in the face of death, he was determined to eliminate humanity's greatest threat.

After a while, Su Chen walked out of the room, looking at the few people outside. Suddenly, he felt the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.

"South Emperor has left."

Instantly, several people below started to cry in a low voice. They thought South Emperor had passed away, and it was worth noting that South Emperor was the most respected King among them, and each of them had received his kindness.

"Don't cry! Senior South Emperor fought for humanity, and his final resting place is on the battlefield!" Su Chen's voice was low, making these people realize something.

"Yes, Emperor Su!"

After Emperor Su left and they entered the room, they were shocked to find that South Emperor's body was gone!

It was only then that they realized that there seemed to be other meanings in Emperor Su's words just now.

"System, open the map."

A translucent interface appeared before Su Chen's eyes, showing a large light spot moving rapidly in a certain direction, with a speed comparable to the fastest ancient relic on the planet.

In just about five seconds, the light representing South Emperor stopped at a certain location.

It was a high mountain with an altitude of at least five thousand meters, but strangely, there wasn't a single Mutant Beast in this area. South Emperor's figure appeared in the sky, looking down below. "Huoyi, come out."

Boom!

The mountain erupted violently, and an unparalleled enormous figure burst out from within, almost covering the entire area.

A Mutant Beast at the Early-Term of the 8th Order, usually had a body length of about a hundred meters, a bit longer in the mid-term but not exceeding two hundred meters.

As for the Late-Term Mutant Beast, its body could reach up to five hundred meters!

As for the peak of the eighth order Mutant Beast, no one knew for sure because such a creature had never appeared among the Mutant Beasts.

Soon, the figure revealed its true appearance—it turned out to be a giant eagle!

Unlike ordinary eagles, this giant eagle had feathers that were fiery red, like a burning flame, casting a crimson hue upon the sky.

It was the most powerful Mutant Beast, the Late-Term 8th Order Mutant Beast—Huoyi, the Giant Flame Eagle!

However, upon seeing Huoyi's appearance, South Emperor sensed a trace of instability in its aura, and his expression changed slightly. "You've already set one foot into the peak of the eighth order?"

"South Emperor, it seems you're ready to make a desperate gamble. Hahaha, human lifespans are so short. Once you're dead, humanity is finished." Huoyi noticed the abnormality in South Emperor's body, as his vitality was rapidly diminishing.

South Emperor's face looked grim. With his strength at the peak of the eighth order, even if it was just his final burst of power, it should have been enough to deal with Huoyi at the Late Eighth Order.

But now, Huoyi seemed to have found a path to break through to the peak of the eighth order. In other words, South Emperor's power might not be enough to kill him.

If Huoyi didn't die, humanity would perish!

Once Huoyi reached the peak of the eighth order, who could withstand its might?

South Emperor was constrained by the limitations of his body. Even if he reached the peak of the eighth order, he wouldn't dare to unleash his full power recklessly. But Huoyi was different; the body of a Mutant Beast was much stronger than that of a human.

South Emperor didn't say a word. He had to use all his power to deal with Huoyi, wasting even a fraction of it wasn't an option.

"Huoyi, today, either you die, or I perish!"

Far away at the base, Su Chen was watching South Emperor's final battle. He didn't want South Emperor to die without a sound. At the very least, he wanted humanity to know that there was a King who, even in his final moments, was thinking about the good of humanity.

So when South Emperor reached that location, suddenly, the live stream room showed a new window with the image of an elderly man with a youthful look.

"It's Senior South Emperor!"

"What is Senior South Emperor doing there? And damn, what's that big creature?"

"That size, only the most powerful among the Mutant Beasts could possess it—it's Huoyi, the Late Eighth Order Mutant Beast!" (To be continued)
