Chapter 388: How Could It Be So Strong!

Translator: 549690339

Two streaks of golden light tore across the sky, stirring up boundless waves and exuding a piercing sharpness that caused all nearby powerhouses to pale.

“Such an aura, could it possibly belong to a Peak Emperor?”

“Two Peak Emperors, what on earth has happened?”

“Recently, our World of Eternity has been anything but peaceful, starting with the fall of an emperor in one of the Seven Ascension Cities, followed by the subsequent demise of more than twenty emperors.”

“Bear in mind, we’re talking about the exalted Eternal Realm here.”

“If only I could become an Eternal Realm being, even just a First Level of Eternal Realm, I’d be willing to die right now!”

A Supreme Realm powerhouse expressed infinite sighs.

“The Eternal Realm, pinnacle of all heavens, is not so easily attained!”

An extremely aged figure, emitting an aura of decay, watched the direction of the fleeting golden lights with eyes full of intense envy.

He was shrouded in a mighty eternal force, a powerhouse who had reached the zenith of the Half-step Eternal Realm.

Yet, despite spending countless years at the threshold, he never made the breakthrough, and now, as his end drew near, his chance was gone.

At this moment, Peng Shang and Peng Jie were filled with murderous intent, which only boiled more intensely the closer they approached the City of Bibo.

The demise of a potential Peak Emperor of the Eternal Realm in such a manner, if the Peng Clan did not respond, how would the other powers in the World of Eternity view them?

What dignity would the Peng Clan hold in the World of Eternity then?

Such a scenario was utterly unacceptable, and so the two employed Golden Roc Extreme Speed to traverse Endless Space directly towards the City of Bibo.

“Hmm?”

“A spirit talisman message from Gu Xinghan?”

“I recall his mission was to assassinate a Third Level Emperor of the Eternal Realm, could something unexpected have occurred? Does that emperor have a powerful backer?”

In an unknown space, an elder with the appearance of a white-haired child caught a stream of light with an effortless pinch.

The next second, he disassembled the stream of light, and Gu Xinghan’s voice resonated right before him.

“The target of the mission was incorrect!”

“The strength of the mission target was grossly underestimated!”

“The target of Emperor Wu Chan’s mission, his strength is unfathomable, please send a Silver Assassin from the organization!”

“Bronze Assassin Gu Xinghan is willing to trade all his possessions in exchange for an Elder’s intervention to rescue him!”

The elder’s expression changed instantly, he casually tore a rift in space, a pitch-dark spatial crack appeared before his eyes, and then he stepped through that crack.

The members of the Meta Organization were few, but each possessed unique abilities, outstanding within their realms.

The loss of any member was a substantial blow to their organization.

After all, in the eyes of this elder, these were the workers earning a continuous stream of wealth for their Meta Organization.

“Truly courting death!”

The elder’s eyes flared with murderous intent, although he was one of the Elders of the Meta Organization, he was also a Silver Assassin, having successfully completed nineteen assassination missions.

Just one more completion, and he would be promoted to a Gold-Ranked Assassin, at which point the Meta Organization’s leadership would intervene, aiding him in breaking through from the Ninth Level to the peak realm.

Originally, this mission was for a Bronze Assassin, but it turned dire due to Wu Chan’s miscalculation of Ye Feng’s strength, causing Gu Xinghan to face a life-threatening crisis.

This was a matter the Meta Organization would not let slide; they had to make Emperor Wu Chan pay the price.

As for now, the Bronze mission had escalated to a Silver mission, and the elder was just one mission short of promotion to Gold-Ranked.

Therefore, the moment he received Gu Xinghan’s message, he tore open space and followed Gu Xinghan’s trail.

On one hand, it was to save Gu Xinghan, and on the other, it was for the promotion to becoming a Gold-Ranked Assassin.

Elsewhere, the overwhelming Chaos Annihilation Thunder Punishment obliterated every last bit of the crimson mist transformed from Gu Xinghan, its speed so swift that it caused Gu Xinghan to shudder.

“How can this be!”

“How can he be so strong!”

“Wu Chan, you damn dog, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”

Gu Xinghan’s face contorted hideously as he felt the terrifying force bearing down on him, and for the first time, a sense of deep despair welled up from within him.

Such formidable power simply couldn’t be possessed by merely a Third Level Emperor of the Eternal Realm, not even by the Sixth Level.

Gu Xinghan guessed that Ye Feng’s combat power had actually reached the Eighth or even Ninth Level of the Eternal Realm, just a step away from becoming a Peak Emperor.

“What kind of monstrous freak is this!”

“I don’t even know if the Elder will be able to arrive in time!”

“No, I cannot die!”

“I still have a great future ahead of me!”

With this thought in mind, a fierce desire to survive surged in Gu Xinghan’s eyes.

However, under the Chaos Annihilation Thunder Punishment, all his efforts were in vain.

In the blink of an eye, the sky full of shimmering lights dwindled to just a few dozen, and in the next instant, even these remnants of crimson mist were extinguished under the black-purple Thunder Punishment.

“No!”

Gu Xinghan didn’t even have the chance to let out a final cry before he completely vanished from the World of Eternity.

“This person seems to have been an assassin.”

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, feeling too lazy to search the man’s Divine Soul, as it likely contained forbidden seals.

Keeping to his principle of responding to all changes with unchanging disposition, he immediately flashed back into the Yang Family’s residence within the City of Bibo and tossed a Jade Slip to the brothers Yang Tian and Yang Xiong.

Upon receiving a Jade Slip thrown by Ye Feng, the two brothers thought it might be a treasure and hastily inspected it with their Divine Souls, only to have their faces turn deathly pale the moment they saw its contents.

Especially Yang Tian, since Yang Na was his descendant, and someone had been impersonating her for so long without him knowing. Now, to have even attempted assassination on Ye Feng, he was consumed by an immense sense of anxiety.

“Shua!”

Elsewhere, a space rift emerged from the void, and an elder from the Meta Organization stepped out from within. Seeing the surroundings, his expression immediately darkened.

He knew that there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that Gu Xinghan had fallen.

The fact that the opponent had the power to instantly kill Gu Xinghan didn’t surprise him. However, what the enemy might not know was that it was always they, the Meta Organization, who assassinated others; when had anyone ever dared to kill their people?

This man must die!

With this thought, a peculiar gleam flashed in the elder’s eyes as a faint presence manifested in the space around them and extended far into the distance.

Seeing this, the elder transformed into a shadowy afterimage, following the trail of the presence.

“This is the City of Bibo, isn’t it?”

Two middle-aged men with hooked noses and dark golden eyes stepped through the gates of the City of Bibo.

“Find the one who killed Peng Ao. This noble one wants the entire City of Bibo to know the consequences of offending our Peng Clan.”

“Exactly. Reportedly, Peng Ao was invited to stand by someone named Zhou Ching’s side, and this person must die as well.”

“Moreover, whatever power clashed with Zhou Ching must also be obliterated!”
