To be honest, just now, the feeling that Di Yang gave him was extremely strong, extremely strong. More terrifying than Di Yang was Emperor Wu; could he handle it himself? He wasn’t sure, couldn’t be one hundred percent sure.

If he couldn’t handle Emperor Wu, then Di Heng wouldn’t be summoned, and the last three layers of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss would always be guarded by Di Heng, making the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill impossible to obtain.

So, Su Chen himself was also somewhat anxious.

Unexpectedly... that old thing Di Jie sent such a big surprise.

Summoning both Emperor Wu and Di Heng at once, with Di Yang already dead, does that mean that the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss is directly unguarded?

And at this moment.

"Young boy Su, hahaha... Emperor Wu and Di Heng have both left, the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss is unguarded." The Iceflame Vermilion Bird’s ecstatic, almost unsettled voice echoed.

"Speed it up!!! Steal everything, don’t leave anything behind!" Su Chen communicated via sound transmission, he was also extremely excited, the entire Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, the Di family has treasures accumulated over billions of years from countless generations in there! All belonging to me now!

This is definitely the greatest opportunity since I began my martial arts cultivation.

"Young boy Su, increase your efforts, even if you can’t kill Emperor Wu and Di Heng, you must hold these two off, at least for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or else there’s still six layers of the treasure vault that I won’t finish stealing!" The Iceflame Vermilion Bird regained some calm and said.

"Alright." Su Chen could only grit his teeth and agree.

However, for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?

It’s not simple.

Of course, even if it isn’t simple, even if it means risking death, it must be endured.

A moment later.

Two figures appeared at the Front Mountain, like ordinary people, without a trace of the aura of martial cultivators.

The two looked very young, very handsome, with temperaments as calm as an old, undisturbed well.

The pair bowed respectfully towards the Back Mountain.

Then.

They both turned their heads.

One was wearing a light blue long robe, holding a seemingly ordinary longsword in his hand. He was slightly taller, looked at Su Chen, and said, "My name is Emperor Wu, I cultivate swords."

The other, dressed in white, was Di Heng! Also the strongest among the three great inheritors! He was bare-handed, only glanced at Su Chen before closing his eyes!!!

"Young boy Su, Emperor Wu is infinitely close to the Human Lord, his combat power is almost equivalent to an average First Level Realm of Human Lord!" Jiuyou spoke, his voice extremely solemn: "And Di Heng, at the Peak Phase of the second level of the Human Lord Realm, you’re not his opponent right now..."

Su Chen’s heart contracted fiercely.

Emperor Wu, let’s not talk about him being infinitely close to the Human Lord, there’s still a chance to defeat him, probably.

But Di Heng.

At the second level of the Human Lord Realm, although Su Chen is proud, he’s no fool. Right now, he should be powerless. The gap is too big.

At his limit, using every possible method, he’d top out at maybe just the Human Lord First Level! Compared to the Peak Phase of the Human Lord Second Level, the gap is too vast!

Moreover, if Di Heng could outclass fight, he might not be worse off than a martial cultivator at Human Lord Third Level Realm!

"Di Heng, take action." The next moment, Di Jie spoke, not playing by the usual rules but directly naming Di Heng.

The successor first, the Peak Phase of the second level of the Human Lord Realm, Di Heng. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Di Jie was smart too.

If Di Heng wasn’t a match for Su Chen, sending Emperor Wu first would be a complete waste, Su Chen would continue to kill instantaneously, and it would just be giving up a head.

And if Su Chen wasn’t a match for Di Heng, dying at Di Heng’s hands would be even better, simple and straightforward.

Honestly, it’s much better than having Su Chen and Emperor Wu fight first.

He also learned from previous lessons that if he sent Di Heng first, without needing to save face, and bullied outright, maybe Di Sui, Di Yang, and others wouldn’t have to die.

He was now extremely, extremely concerned about Su Chen and certainly wouldn’t make mistakes again.

All at once.

A one-time move with the strongest.

If even Di Heng was taken down by Su Chen, he’d accept it.

As for why Emperor Wu was summoned too, it’s because he thought that since Di Heng was taking action, letting Emperor Wu watch might give some insights, beneficial to Emperor Wu, and he knew well that Emperor Wu always longed to see Di Heng take action.

Among the three great inheritors of the Di family, Di Heng was far stronger than Emperor Wu and Di Yang, uniquely dominant. For this reason, Di Heng rarely took action; there was rarely anything worthy for his intervention, and Emperor Wu’s desire to see Di Heng act was difficult. This time was a good opportunity, couldn’t let Emperor Wu miss it.

Di Jie never considered the scheme of luring one away to leave an opening, didn’t think the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss would be unguarded, nor that there would be a theft. He never considered anyone would dare steal from the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, believing no one would have that kind of audacity.

"Shit!" Su Chen seemed silent, unchanged in expression, but inwardly, he became extremely serious, the real challenge came, even a life-and-death challenge.

Su Chen couldn’t help but send a sound transmission to the Iceflame Vermilion Bird: "Faster!!! I might not be able to hold on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

Enduring for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in Emperor Heng’s hands, Su Chen wasn’t underestimating himself, it’s not easy, absolutely not easy.

"And, if you succeed, send me a sound transmission immediately. I need to escape right away." Su Chen continued to transmit.

"Over there with Fei Jin..." Iceflame Vermilion Bird wanted to say, Fei Jin would save you, but ultimately didn’t say it. Relying on Di Deijin to finally save Su Chen might not succeed, it’s not guaranteed. If Su Chen can escape, that would be better.

"I will act as fast as possible with my divine power." Iceflame Vermilion Bird said solemnly: "We’ll stay in contact at all times."

With the life-bound divine soul in Su Chen’s hands, it can contact him at any time.

It was at this instant.

"Father, your daughter has never asked you for anything. This is the first and will be the only time. Your daughter begs you, let him go. Don’t let Di Heng fight him!!! Your daughter begs you!" Di Deijin sent a sound transmission to Di Jie, her voice even carried a faint sob.

She was somewhat in despair.

Su Chen indeed gave her incredible surprises.

Shocked her to the extreme.

But she could vaguely feel Su Chen’s strength, along with her understanding of him.

She was sure, that maybe Su Chen could still have a winning chance against Emperor Wu, at least he wouldn’t die, but facing Di Heng, he would definitely be defeated, and die.

It’s truly because Su Chen is too young.

But Di Heng? Seventeen thousand years old.

This isn’t the main issue. The key is, Di Heng is really, really, really terrifying.

In the entire Di Family, the only young person she found terrifyingly strong and unfathomable was Di Heng.

Firstly, everyone in the Di Family knows that when Di Heng was born, there were strange phenomena. When he was born, nine strange beasts descended upon the Di Family, and after his birth, the nine strange beasts disappeared, while the deepest part of Di Heng’s eyes had nine red dots.

It’s said that Di Heng has a special physique, but no one knows what kind of physique it is. He himself hasn’t revealed it, but it’s definitely a very, very, very terrifying special physique.

Secondly, Di Heng is the only martial cultivator who has successfully cultivated all three divine skills of the Di Family and has surpassed the great achievement stage in all of them. Even Di Deijin hasn’t achieved this, and apart from the old ancestors of the Di Family, he’s the only one to do so.

Thirdly, when Di Heng stepped into the Human Lord Realm, he drew down heavenly punishment. Typically, martial cultivators who attract heavenly punishment are those whose talent is terrifying enough to incite the jealousy of the azure heavens, one can only imagine.

Fourthly, it’s said that the Second Elder once lost to Di Heng. You should know, the Second Elder is at the Peak Phase of the Third Level Realm, and this realm has been maintained for tens of millions of years. Yet Di Heng himself is only in the Second Level of the Human Lord Realm.

Anyway, Di Heng is truly extremely terrifying.

Regardless of whether it’s Di Yang or Emperor Wu, or anyone else, none can compare to Di Heng.

Di Deijin naturally believes that given Su Chen a few more decades, or even ten years, he could easily kill Di Heng. After all, Su Chen possesses a talent for martial cultivation that surpasses the entire Flame Plane.

But as it stands, at this current stage, Su Chen is definitely no match for Di Heng.

Moreover, Di Deijin knows, Di Heng appears calm and unperturbed, but in fact, this person is very ruthless!!!

Di Heng has rarely taken action, but each time, there are no survivors.

So, she pleaded.

Pleaded with her father.

It’s important to know, this is the second time in her life that she has begged Di Jie. The first time was when Di Jie poisoned her with the Soul-Locking Pill to force her to marry the Young Master of the Hu Family. Unfortunately, the plea wasn’t successful then. Of course, there are three more months, there’s still time, everything still has a chance.

This is the second time she’s pleaded with her father.

"Even if you beg, it’s useless, he must die." However, what was heartbreaking and despairing for Di Deijin was, once again, her father rejected her without the slightest hesitation.

Moreover, at the moment Di Jie rejected Di Deijin, with just a thought, the many formations arranged around the Jinxian Pavilion surged into it, completely enveloping Di Deijin like a giant spider web, controlling her completely.

"No!!!" Di Deijin shouted in furious despair.

But it was useless.

"I don’t know what your relationship with this boy really is, but you’re very, very, very concerned about him. So, to prevent you from threatening Dad with things like suicide when he is about to die, Dad had no choice but to control you with formations." Di Jie said lightly.

These formations controlled Di Deijin, so that, having become temporarily incapacitated due to the Soul-Locking Pill, she couldn’t even commit suicide.

"Dad, he’s my man, Di Deijin’s man. Dad, I swear, if he dies today, your daughter will hate you for a lifetime, will avenge him, and will destroy the entire Di Family, your daughter swears!!!" Di Deijin desperately bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes had turned a bit red, and her voice was somewhat hoarse too.

"Whatever." Di Jie snorted coldly. His heart was much more ruthless than imagined, at least, Di Deijin’s threats were useless against him.

Thereafter.

Di Jie shouted: "Di Heng, begin. What are you waiting for?"

"Yes, Patriarch." Di Heng nodded slightly, looked towards Su Chen, and made an inviting gesture: "Please."
