The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 524

The Thunder Valley was a very weird place located between two volcanoes. In the sky above it, dark clouds were rolling and lightning bolts were flashing.

What a weird place! The two volcanoes on the sides of the valley were constantly erupting, and streams of magma were flowing like rivers.

“Someone has once encountered the Thunder Leopard here,” said the woman in a black robe. She rarely spoke along the way.

“Come on, let's get in there,” Chu Xun said.

“Get in there?” said the woman in a black robe. Her voice sounded obviously surprised, though her facial expression was invisible.

“Is there a problem?” Chu Xun asked.

“No one has ever dared to get in there. Lightning bolts may strike down at any time. Even a high-level Great King would have a slim chance of survival if struck by lightning,” said the woman in a black robe.

Chu Xun chuckled and said, “A slim chance of survival? A slim chance is still a chance, isn't it? I have that slim chance.”

“But I will have no chance of survival,” the woman in a black robe said.

Chu Xun froze for a moment and then smiled. “Rest reassured. I can guarantee that as long as I'm here with you, you will survive.”

The woman in a black robe glanced at Chu Xun and sneered disdainfully. “Your promise is not worth a single piece of Fire Spinel.”

Chu Xun was speechless. “She is quite straightforward.”

“Tell me how much Fire Spinel you need to take me in there?” Chu Xun asked.

He didn't know the Thunder Leopard, and he couldn't just kill all the demonic beasts in the valley.

“My task is to bring you to the destination instead of getting in there with you,” said the woman in a black robe. Anyway, she had managed to resist the allure of Fire Spinel.

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “Then you wait here. I'll get in there and throw out the dead bodies of demonic beasts I have killed. Remember to remind me if you see the body of the Thunder Leopard.”

Without waiting for the woman in a black robe to respond, Chu Xun rushed into the valley.

“You arrogant idiot,” the woman said contemptuously, staring at Chu Xun's fading figure.

Chu Xun's divine sense spread out as he walked, searching for the vibes of demonic beasts.

After walking for about a thousand meters, he encountered the first demonic beast.

“I'm so lucky.” He looked at the three-meter-long beast in front of him. It had a wide mouth with sharp fangs, and its body was covered with bony spikes.

The beast opened its mouth at Chu Xun, revealing its crisscrossed fangs, and growled in a low voice.

The roar sounded like thunder. Chu Xun smiled. He was sure that it was the Thunder Leopard.

“Its ability to make growls like thunderclaps should be the reason why it is named the Thunder Leopard. I thought it could summon thunder.”

The Thunder Leopard stared at Chu Xun, the intruder, with its red eyes. Its body was glowing with dark red light.

Swoosh!

A bony spike shining with bright light fell off the Thunder Leopard's body and darted fiercely at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun took a step to the side, and the bony spike hit the mountain wall a hundred meters away. With a boom, the wall blew up when the spike hit it, and broken stones flew in all directions.

The Thunder Leopard let out an angry roar when it found that Chu Xun successfully dodged the attack. Red light swirled around its body, and several shining bony spikes shot out from its body and came swooshing at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun's body flashed with purple light, which blew up these bony spikes coming at him.

“Is that all you've got?” Chu Xun couldn't help feeling bored.

He lured the Thunder Leopard into attacking him repeatedly. The beast kept leaping back and forth, pouncing at him, trying to bite him, or attacking him with its bony spikes.

He shook his head in disappointment, flipped his hand, and smashed all the bones in the Thunder Leopard's body.

The Thunder Leopard fell to the ground, lying like a pile of mud, but it was still alive. Chu Xun grabbed its several meters long tail and dragged it out of the valley.

“Mission completed,” he said plainly.

The woman in a black robe looked blankly at the beast in front of her, which was like a pile of mud, and then became shocked. She said, “This is not the Thunder Leopard.”

“…” Chu Xun felt frustrated. The eyes of the woman in a black robe did not look like she was lying.

“This is a Flaming Bone Leopard.” The woman in a black robe explained.

Chu Xun was somewhat at a loss for words. He knew that he would not be so lucky. He turned around and walked into the valley again.

The woman in a black robe looked at Chu Xun's back in shock. The Flaming Bone Leopard was on a par with the Thunder Leopard.

Chu Xun walked quickly along the way. He did not activate his divine sense. All demonic beasts had a very strong territorial awareness. As long as he broke into their territory, they would fight to the death.

Boom!

Demon-slaughtering Palm!

A heaven-shaking palm fell from the sky and killed a demonic beast. It was a very ferocious ten-meter-long fire lizard.

Chu Xun grabbed its tail and threw it thousands of meters away out of the valley.

Seeing a black mass flying towards her, the woman in a black robe hurriedly moved to dodge it.

Boom!

The ground shook and cracked. A giant ten-meter-long demonic beast fell on the ground in front of her.

She was dumbfounded, with her mouth and eyes wide open. This was a Flowing Fire Lizard, a high level 4 demonic beast even more powerful than the Flaming Bone Leopard.

A moment later, the woman in a black robe witnessed a rain of demonic beasts. Numerous demonic beasts flew out of the valley one after another and fell to the ground, creating large pits.

Over a dozen of Flame-eating Crocodiles that were more than ten meters long and Demonic Pythons that were dozens of meters long fell from the sky. All of them were extremely ferocious creatures.

The woman in a black robe was so shocked that she had become apathetic.

“Even a large legion can't kill one Flame-eating Crocodile without sacrificing more than a dozen lives of its members.

“However, when those demonic beasts fell into the hands of Chu the Devil, he crushed them easily as if they were just soft mud. All the bones of the dozen demonic beasts in front of me are broken. How did he do that?”

While the woman in a black robe was wondering, Chu Xun was playing with a leopard.

It was a very beautiful leopard. Its body was three meters long and was as hard as if it were cast in mithril. Its speed was very fast, comparable to that of a Human Immortal.

Swoosh!

The leopard streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning and thrust its razor-sharp claws at Chu Xun's throat.

“This beast is really brutal. Its every move is deadly.”

Chu Xun took a step to the side and dodged the attack of its claws. Unexpectedly, several electric arcs suddenly burst out from those sharp claws.

He was surprised at first, but then he felt overjoyed. “Is this the Thunder Leopard?” He flicked his finger gently and eliminated the electric arcs.

The Thunder Leopard leaped past and landed on a huge rock, staring at Chu Xun vigilantly.

Roar!

With a low roar, the Thunder Leopard suddenly raised its head and spat out something like an inner core. It was surrounded by extremely wild lightning bolts.

Boom!

In the sky above, dark clouds began to roll in the whistling wind, thunder rumbled, and lightning bolts ripped through the sky. The lightning bolts as thick as a child's arm fell from the sky, and guided by the inner core that the Thunder Leopard had spat out, they ripped through the air toward Chu Xun.

“What a strange way of attacking.” This time, Chu Xun was sure that this beast was the Thunder Leopard.

He moved swiftly to dodge the attack.

Bang!

A bolt of lightning struck the ground, creating a huge crater that was scorched and black.

Roar!

The Thunder Leopard roared furiously. This time, the rolling dark clouds, rumbling thunder, and flashing lightning bolts in the sky were interweaved, forming a huge net that fell from the sky toward Chu Xun.

Chu Xun raised his hand. A fist print rumbled out. With a boom, it blew up the net of lightning and thunderbolts.

“The attack is powerful, but it's too weak.” Chu Xun evaluated. If the Thunder Leopard reached the fifth level, its thunder attack could threaten the life of a master in the Human-Immortal Realm.

He chuckled and made a magic signet with his divine sense.

Purple Thunder Doom–Punishment from Gods!

Dark clouds rolled, and lightning bolts ripped through the sky. A python-like bolt of lightning flew toward the Thunder Leopard.

The Thunder Leopard was very smart. It swallowed its inner core and leaped into the air.

Boom!

The lightning bolt fell and smashed that huge stone. The Thunder Leopard had moved too slowly. It was hit by the remaining power of the lightning bolt, which tore open many parts of its body. Bloody pieces of its body flew in all directions. It crashed into the mountain wall and slipped down feebly.

Chu Xun was surprised. The Thunder Leopard was good at attacking, but its defense was too weak. It could not get up after being hit by the remaining power of the Purple Thunder Doom.

He flicked his finger and shot out a beam of purple light, which pierced through the Thunder Leopard's skull and killed it.

Chu Xun was disappointed with the power of demonic beasts. Generally speaking, they were a little stronger than the beasts in the outside world, but they were just not strong enough for him.

He dragged the Thunder Leopard out of the valley.

“This should be the Thunder Leopard, right?” Chu Xun asked when he was about one hundred meters away from the woman in a black robe.

Unexpectedly, the woman in a black robe suddenly shouted, “Run!”

Boom!

The entire valley, the earth, and the mountains were all shaking. Chu Xun raised his head and saw hot lava rushing down the mountain slopes on both sides of the valley like the water of a great river bursting through a dam.

The woman in a black robe turned around and fled as fast as lightning. She didn't wait for Chu Xun at all.

“Not loyal…” Chu Xun muttered.

The boiling lava rushed down and engulfed the valley and Chu Xun in an instant.

The woman in a black robe ran thousands of meters in one breath. She turned around and saw the terrifying lava gushing out of the mouth of the valley, which turned the entire valley into a lake of lava.

“I'm sorry!” the woman in a black robe murmured to herself.

“I'm glad that you have some sympathy.” A voice rang out from behind her.

Swoosh!

A two-meter-long bow engraved with simple patterns and a three-meter-long black arrow appeared in the hands of the woman in a black robe. A foul aura was swirling around her.

“It's you.” She stared at Chu Xun in disbelief, though she clearly knew that it was him.

The arrow in the woman's hand attracted Chu Xun's attention. She had transformed her Qi into an arrow.

Suddenly, the arrow in her hand disappeared, and she quickly put away her bow.

“How did you escape?” asked the woman curiously. Considering the speed of the rushing lava, she didn't think that Chu Xun had any chance of escape.

“I ran out of it.”

The woman in a black robe nodded slightly without asking any other question.

Chu Xun was very curious about the woman in a black robe. “She can actually condense her Qi into an arrow.”

“Let's go. I know another place where there are Thunder Leopards,” the woman in a black robe said in a cool voice.

“The target of the next mission should be the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle, right?” asked Chu Xun.

The woman in a black robe glanced at him and said, “Just killing a demonic beast doesn't count as a success. The missions are deemed completed only if you can take their bodies back.”

Chu Xun waved his hand. With a flash of light, the Thunder Leopard's dead body appeared.

The woman in a black robe was a little surprised. She looked at the ring on Chu Xun's finger. Envy flashed quickly across her eyes. She said lightly, “Let's get moving.”

Chu Xun put away the Thunder Leopard's body. He felt a little curious. “It is just a Storage Ring. Given her cultivation level, it should not be difficult for her to get one. However, she hid her bow in the black robe, so she obviously does not have a Storage Ring.”

All people had their own secrets. Chu Xun did not ask her anything else. Of course, he would not give her a Storage Ring just to show his generosity. He had many Storage Rings, but he would not give one to a stranger out of kindness.

The woman in a black robe walked very fast and stayed silent along the way.

A few hours later, she suddenly stopped.

“This is the Stone Tree Forest. Each type of demonic beast has its own territory. This is the habitat of the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagles,” said the woman in a black robe.

Chu Xun looked over and saw a large forest in front of him. However, those trees were all like stones, so it might be more sensible to call it a forest of stone pillars.

Each stone tree was dozens of meters tall, standing there like a vertical hill, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

“Bear in mind that the stone trees are highly poisonous. If your skin gets cut by them, the toxin will enter your body, and you will definitely die even if you were a Devil King of Great Completion. Moreover, the Stone Tree Forest is also called the Lost Forest. Remember to leave marks on your trail after you get in there. Otherwise, you will get lost and trapped inside, and you will never get out of it,” said the woman in a black robe.
