Chapter 009: That Road

Diana had learned a great deal of combat techniques on Themyscira, most of which were practical for actual combat, but none could be used as brilliantly and gracefully as the Xuantian Evil Emperor.

Moreover, they were very magical.

Thus, she also had a desire to learn from the Xuantian Evil Emperor. Although this exchange was brief, both had shown their true strength, and Diana benefited greatly from it.

Those words were naturally sincere.

Upon hearing this, the Xuantian Evil Emperor's gaze flickered several times. "A powerful human, it seems Miss Dai is no ordinary person."

That surging and sacred power likely belonged to a goddess from the heavens.

"My name is Diana, Diana is my name; I do not have the surname Dai!" Facing an opponent she respected, Diana explained.

The Xuantian Evil Emperor looked surprised, then seemed to think of something, nodded, and said, "So your name is Diana. I am Dugu Xingye, Dugu is my surname, Xingye my given name, and Xuantian Evil Emperor is my title."

Just then, Wang Bo suddenly teleported and appeared beside Diana.

"Xuantian Evil Emperor, I know you. You were originally the son of the leader of the Divine Dao Alliance, but after falling into demonic ways, you killed your parents and elder brother, destroyed the Divine Dao Alliance, and established the Evil Dao Alliance. Am I correct?"

The Xuantian Evil Emperor was just wondering who Wang Bo was when he suddenly heard Wang Bo reveal his past, and it struck him like a bolt of lightning.

His entire mind shook, as if struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

"You, who exactly are you? How do you know about my affairs?" The Xuantian Evil Emperor's voice became extremely agitated.

In a battle, he had accidentally stumbled into this world and found it completely different from his original world. In this world, no one knew the infamous leader of the Evil Dao Alliance.

Nor did anyone know the nearly invincible Xuantian Evil Emperor.

The loneliness of being a stranger in a foreign land weighed heavily on the Xuantian Evil Emperor's heart, driving him nearly mad.

Now, suddenly hearing someone speak of his past, the Xuantian Evil Emperor became extremely excited. Could it be that the person before him came from the same world as he did?

Could it be that he had encountered a fellow countryman?

Wang Bo said, "Before I answer your question, tell me first, why do you want to conquer the Quanzhen Sect? Do you intend to unify the martial world?"

The Xuantian Evil Emperor took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and said solemnly, "That's right, I do intend to unify the martial world."

"Why?" Wang Bo asked.

Before his transmigration, the Xuantian Evil Emperor had been sealed away, and for a hundred years. After breaking the seal, he had long lost his original ambition to dominate the world.

The phrase "a stranger in a foreign land" perfectly captured the Xuantian Evil Emperor's thoughts upon breaking free.

At that time, the Xuantian Evil Emperor only wanted to integrate into the present era as quickly as possible.

Yet after transmigrating, the Xuantian Evil Emperor actually wanted to unify the martial world. That was somewhat strange. What was he thinking?

The Xuantian Evil Emperor glanced at Wang Bo and said slowly, "If you are like me, you should understand my thoughts. I want to return home, but I cannot do it alone. So I plan to gather all the heroes of the world to help me find a way."

Wang Bo couldn't help but regard the Xuantian Evil Emperor with more respect. This guy was indeed formidable, understanding better than anyone the saying 'one person's wisdom is limited, many minds make light work.'

And even more terrifying was that he had the ability to turn that saying into reality.

Never mind that the Xuantian Evil Emperor lost to Diana; the problem was that Diana was a demigod. Naturally, the Xuantian Evil Emperor couldn't defeat Diana.

But aside from Diana, how many people in the martial world could match the Xuantian Evil Emperor?

Ding Chunqiu? He couldn't!

Although the Transformation Skill in this world was powerful, relying solely on it to defeat the Xuantian Evil Emperor was nothing but a pipe dream.

If Ding Chunqiu fought the Xuantian Evil Emperor, he would be chopped up and fed to the dogs within a few moves.

As for the Pure Yang Taoist and the Shaolin abbot, they were even worse than Ding Chunqiu.

The only ones in this world who could truly fight the Xuantian Evil Emperor were probably the two women of the Tianshan Sect.

Li Qiu Shui of the Tianya Haige.

Wu Xingyun of the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace.

They were the top experts in this world. When Wang Bo watched the plot, Li Qiu Shui and Wu Xingyun fought in the sky, both terrifyingly powerful.

As for how they fought in the sky, it was simple: they flew back and forth like fighter jets, from day to night without stopping to rest.

In Wang Bo's view, this was no longer qinggong but flight techniques.

Considering that the Tianshan Sect's martial arts, when cultivated to the highest level, could even grant immortality, mere flight in the sky seemed insignificant.

Moreover, when the two fought, their true qi shot out like cannonballs, as if it cost nothing, exploding everything it touched, making them no different from humanoid fighter jets.

From this, one could see how terrifying the two women were; they would definitely have no problem being opponents for the Xuantian Evil Emperor.

In fact, whether the Xuantian Evil Emperor could defeat them was still a question.

If the fights between Ding Chunqiu and the Shaolin abbot still fell within the realm of wuxia,

then the battles between Li Qiu Shui and Wu Xingyun were elevated to the realm of xuanhuan, the gap was simply too great.

Ah, I've digressed.

Wang Bo reined in his wandering thoughts, looked at the Xuantian Evil Emperor, and said, "Are you sure gathering the heroes of the world can help you find a way home? Have you considered what if it doesn't work?"

The Xuantian Evil Emperor said calmly, "Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we see the results. If it doesn't, I can think of other ways. For now, this is all I can do."

Wang Bo couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Good thinking, persistent. Worthy of the Xuantian Evil Emperor."

A faint smile appeared on the Xuantian Evil Emperor's pale face as he said, "Should we join forces to find that road?"

Since Wang Bo recognized him, it meant he was also from his world, so the Xuantian Evil Emperor wanted to join forces with Wang Bo to find the way home as soon as possible.

Wang Bo said, "Forget about joining forces. I've already found that road."

The Xuantian Evil Emperor was stunned and asked excitedly, "You succeeded?"

"That's right." Wang Bo nodded and said, "I did succeed. If you want to go back, I can send you back anytime."

The Xuantian Evil Emperor was so excited he could barely contain himself, wanting to agree immediately. But he seemed to think of something and shook his head, saying, "Not now."

Wang Bo asked in surprise, "Why? Don't you want to go back?"

The Xuantian Evil Emperor said, "When I first arrived here, I owed someone a favor. So I must repay that favor before I can leave without any lingering attachments."
