Chapter 1078: The Might Of A Saber Strike
Wu Yuan remained calm. His body refiner self had attacked without leaking the slightest aura, and that saber strike just now had reached the power of a second-stage Overlord. Otherwise, how could he have slain the eighth-stage Sovereign Pang in a single exchange? It was only natural to be mistaken for a Devil Emperor.
Devil Emperor Ku Mu possessed many powerful artifacts, and at full strength, his combat power reached the third-stage Overlord level. Otherwise, how could he have become friends with Overlord Bei Zhen?
However, that didn't mean the current Devil Emperor Ku Mu before him had third-stage Overlord strength. Not every Overlord was like Wu Yuan, able to equip their ether body with top-tier artifacts.
"Devil Emperor Xia, with such power, you could be considered a hegemon in Sector 13. Yet I've never heard your name before," Devil Emperor Ku Mu asked, seemingly casually.
In truth, he was probing for information. Devil Emperors were rare even in the vast expanse of the Abyss. Each one could be considered a hegemon, commanding countless Abyssal worlds.
Moreover, Devil Emperors typically occupied separate territories. Unless fighting over treasures, they would rarely enter another Devil Emperor's domain to avoid triggering a war between Devil Emperors.
Thus, even with Devil Emperor Ku Mu's strength and status, he had not met all the Abyssal Devil Emperors. He suspected Wu Yuan might be disguised as some Devil Emperor he didn't recognize.
"I come from another sector. While exploring the cosmic sea, I had a breakthrough, and have only recently returned to the Abyss," Wu Yuan replied coldly.
This was the explanation Wu Yuan had prepared in advance. As for which sector? That information was not to be divulged.
Thankfully, the Abyss was vast and voidrealms could not be established here. Therefore, the information gathering abilities of the Overlords here were far inferior to the Sovereigns of the universe.
"Oh?" Devil Emperor Ku Mu nodded, his face showing admiration. "I admire you, Brother Xia, for daring to venture into the cosmic sea and even achieving a breakthrough there.
