The Human Emperor c1-2382

by Huangfu Qi (皇甫奇)

  But in front of this man, they were like kittens before a lion.

  The gap between the two sides was immeasurably vast.

  The god-like being suspended in the air cared little about the reactions of those around him, treating them as if they didn’t exist.

  As his fingers clenched together, the screams became deafening. The souls extracted from the bodies of the three Immortals were forcefully squeezed together.

  “Ah!”

  A martial artist yelped in fright and fell back onto the ground, cold sweat drenching his body.

  Not even in the most dangerous and frightening situations in his life had he been more shocked than by what he had witnessed in the last few seconds.

  “Demon! Demon! This can’t be a human!”

  The wide eyes of the numerous martial artists clearly displayed their panic and fear.

  A few moments later, the golden man had finished his modifications.

  Seething with black smoke, a new soul had appeared in his hand, a jailed beast that roared in his hands but was powerless to escape his grip.

  The man’s cold eyes never once looked at the martial artists around him. He slowly scanned the ground and quickly settled on the body of the bamboo hat leader nearby.

  “Nothing but a lowly warrior! This is an enormous favor for you!”

  The man’s voice resounded through the air as he vanished and then reappeared above the bamboo hat leader’s body. He opened his right hand, allowing the new soul containing the traits of the three Immortals to vanish into the corpse of the bamboo hat leader.

  Clack! Clack! Bones cracked and groaned as the bamboo hat leader’s body began to tremble and swell. It was like some supremely savage beast was hidden within his body.

  RAAAA! A heaven-shaking roar came from the mouth of the bamboo hat leader, and then, as everyone else watched in shock, his body stood back up.

  His body had initially been very large and muscular, but under the stimulation of the golden man, it had swelled to a height of 2.7 meters.

  His torso and limbs were also rapidly thickening, and he stood above the crowd like a crane amongst chickens, a true giant. Many people didn’t even come up to half his height.

  Thud! Thud!

  This stalwart giant soon turned its gaze to the crowd.

  Everyone could see his eyes, blood-red eyes brimming with chaos and madness, a desire for blood and carnage. This was nothing more than a human-shaped beast.

  “This is the last chance this one will give you! Kill all the ants here! Every single one! I hope that you will not disappoint me!” the golden man said.

  These words were not for the martial artists, but for the bamboo hat leader standing before him. It was as if speaking to any of the martial artists down below would harm his prestige.

  Roooar!

  The bamboo hat leader responded with a savage roar.

  Boom!

  While everyone was still panicking and trying to figure out what was going on, the air exploded. In a flash of light, the golden man vanished like a ghost.

  He left behind the bamboo hat leader, who shook the earth as he once more used his most powerful ability, the Yellow Scarf Warrior.

  This time, however, the Yellow Scarf Warrior was far taller and more terrifying.

  Boom!

  An immense fist hurtled through the air and screams almost instantly began to ring out.

  Meanwhile, a figure streaked through the white dimension that Wang Chong had previously traversed, crossing through it almost instantly and reaching the Origin Immortal Palace at its heart.

  Boom!

  In another flash of light, a foot stomped into the Origin Immortal Palace.

  The entire palace shivered, and it felt like the entire world was shivering with it.

  “We finally meet again! After so many years, everyone thought you were dead. To think that you still had one last breath! Were you waiting for me to come and collect your corpse?”

  The icy voice resounded through the palace. The golden man ignored Wang Chong and focused solely on the cross-legged Origin Immortal Lord.

  “Haaa, there’s no time!”

  The voice of the Origin Immortal Lord resounded in Wang Chong’s mind, deeply sighing.

  He had still wanted to tell Wang Chong a few more things, but his foe had come far more quickly than he had expected.

  “True Lord Yellow Dragon, I kept hidden for so many years. I didn’t think that you would still manage to find me.”

  The Origin Immortal Lord sighed as he turned his eyes to the golden man.

  When the Origin Immortal Lord finished speaking, Wang Chong watched the golden light shrouding the figure disperse, revealing the face beneath.

  This was an elder of around sixty or seventy years, but his complexion was ruddy and his forehead smooth. He didn’t seem like someone in his old age at all.

  He held his hands behind his back and wore a yellow dragon robe, the savage dragons so lifelike that they seemed ready to leap from the cloth.

  Anyone who used dragon designs in the Central Plains would be guilty of immense disrespect and would probably have their entire clan slaughtered, but this man clearly did not care.

  And if one looked carefully, one would realize that this dragon robe was completely different from those worn by the Son of Heaven or the Imperial Princes. Those dragons were of extraordinarily ancient design, completely different from the ones Wang Chong knew.

  But what drew his attention the most was not his flagrant wearing of a dragon robe, but his beard. This was a golden beard that glossily shone, taking the form of two long and thin streams of hair that hung down from the side of his lips. They appeared like two dragon whiskers, like this man really was a yellow dragon.

  While this man had a strange appearance, Wang Chong did not dare to look down on him or jeer at him.

  Powerful! Extremely powerful!

  The moment this man appeared, Wang Chong felt his blood freeze, alarm bells ringing from every single part of his body.

  He would die!

  This was what Wang Chong’s instinct and intuition communicated to him in bold letters.

  Wang Chong had never encountered such a powerful foe, and he was someone who had killed the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals!

  But in the face of this mysterious ‘True Lord Yellow Dragon’, Wang Chong felt like his life was hanging by a thread.

  He couldn’t even muster up the will to fight, let alone actually fight.

  Every cell in his body told him that this was not someone he could defeat.

  Wang Chong was not unfamiliar with this feeling, but this instinctive response would only happen when the chasm between him and his foe was particularly immense.

  There was no question that True Lord Yellow Dragon had far exceeded his level of strength and simply wasn’t someone he could fight.

  “Hmph!”

  A cold snort resounded in Wang Chong’s ears.

  Raising his head, Wang Chong could clearly see a vicious light in True Lord Yellow Dragon’s eyes.

  True Lord Yellow Dragon ceased the exchanging of pleasantries and instantly struck.

  Boom!

  A golden light howled through the world, instantly engulfing the Origin Immortal Lord and Wang Chong next to him.

  But even before True Lord Yellow Dragon had struck, the Origin Immortal Lord had extended his right hand and placed a thin finger on Wang Chong’s shoulder.

  “Be careful! This battle isn’t something you can take part in! This finger is the last thing I can help you with!” The Origin Immortal Lord’s voice resounded like pealing thunder in Wang Chong’s mind, and a moment later, violent energy surged into Wang Chong’s body.

  “Senior!”

  Wang Chong only managed to say this single word before the world began to spin around him. Wang Chong sensed that this immense energy was teleporting him out of the Origin Immortal Palace.

  At the same time…

  Rumble!

 
Two terrifying energies that transcended all living beings of the world fiercely clashed within the Origin Immortal Palace.

  With a grandiose explosion, the exquisitely built Origin Immortal Palace together with its golden light barrier exploded.

  Those martial artists who were still trying to break through the golden barrier were instantly obliterated.

  A moment later, a golden light tens of thousands of times more dazzling than the sun expanded outward with an unstoppable momentum.

  The fog that engulfed the core region was instantly vaporized into nothingness by this frightening power.

  Crack! Crack! The sturdy stone bridge rapidly collapsed and crumbled into countless bits of stone that plummeted into the abyss along with the lanterns lining it.

  Together with them were those two heavy chains, nearly one thousand meters in length.

  In the blink of an eye, the ground upon which various martial artists were standing was destroyed by the golden light.

  Those martial artists standing at the very edge didn’t even have time to groan or react before they dropped down into the abyss.

  “Ah!”

  “Save me!”

  “What is going on here?”

  “Careful!”

  “I don’t want to die!”

  Fierce explosions were threatening to collapse the only place the martial artists could stand.

  “Run!”

  Paling, the martial artists began to run toward the passage.

  But a moment later, in a flash of light, a golden seal covered in ancient symbols stood in their way, knocking back the fleeing martial artists.

  Some of the martial artists had their bones shattered, Stellar Energy destroyed, and lives ended by the powerful repulsive force in the seal.

  Other martial artists might have avoided this fate, but the destructive energy of the seal still hurtled into their bodies and began to burn away at their meridians like a wildfire.

  These martial artists were some of the best in the martial arts world, but in front of this seal, they were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

  “It’s that bastard!”

  The martial artists immediately realized what was going on.

  There was no doubt that the mysterious golden man was the one responsible for laying down the seal blocking the passage. He was far too powerful, so powerful that none of the many experts had even noticed how he had laid down this seal.

  “This bastard wants us all to die!” a martial artist cried out in despair.

  But this was far from their only worry. Right before them was a massive giant fifty to sixty meters tall, a demon god descended to the earth, domineering and violent. He was charging at the crowd, a gigantic black fist hurtling toward the martial artists.

  In an explosive blast, countless martial artists were sent flying.

  The strength unleashed by the bamboo hat leader remolded by True Lord Yellow Dragon was far beyond their imagination.

  Boom! The giant Yellow Scarf Warrior had just finished one punch when his other fist came slamming down, seething with black flames.

  “Aaaah!”

  In a chorus of screams, ten-some martial artists were thrown about like ragdolls.

  There was already very little area to stand, and the Yellow Scarf Warrior’s frenzied attacks immediately sent everyone sliding down.

  “Careful!”

  Wang Chong’s master, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, was also in this descending crowd. All of this had come too abruptly for him to react.

  When the place one was standing was destroyed, even an expert like the Demonic Emperor Old Man found it hard to protect himself, and he tumbled downward, where the immense pull of the abyss was drawing everyone to the bottom.

  Boom!

  The Demonic Emperor Old Man’s body rumbled with Stellar Energy as he pushed his Myriad Spirit Sea Art to its limit. Streams of Stellar Energy gathered around him, which the Demonic Emperor Old Man guided downward in the hopes that it could slow his descent.

  Thump! A millstone-sized rock rolled down from above. The Demonic Emperor Old Man stomped onto this rock, and while the rock hastened its descent, the Demonic Emperor Old Man clearly decelerated.

  Even in this dangerous situation, the Demonic Emperor Old Man still remained calm and composed.

  Bang!

  In an eruption of Stellar Energy, the Demonic Emperor Old Man waved his sleeve. This Stellar Energy hurtled upward to the Wushang Village Chief above him, slowing his descent and buying him some time to catch his breath.

  With this assistance, the Wushang Village Chief was able to circulate his Stellar Energy and step onto a rock, temporarily saving him from the fate of a rapid descent into the abyss.

  Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and all the others used all the techniques at their disposal to deal with this sudden crisis.

  Buzz!

  As everyone else was plummeting downward, another figure appeared in the core area in a flash of light.

  “This is…! How!?”

  The sight of his surroundings, the falling rocks, and the immense pull coming from the abyss greatly alarmed Wang Chong.

  He only knew that something had happened outside, but he had never imagined that things were this bad.

  The scene in the core area could only be described as complete destruction. But there was no time to think, as the pull from the abyss soon brought Wang Chong plummeting straight down with the others.

  But Wang Chong was able to react quickly. Rumble! Innumerable torrents of Stellar Energy surged into his surroundings.

  The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

  Wang Chong used this art without hesitation.

  There was nothing to hold onto in the emptiness, but the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was still able to halve his descent speed.

  “It’s the young patriarch!”

  Wang Chong had not noticed that a figure nearly one hundred feet down below had noticed him and paled.

  “Black Spider!”

  The Origin Immortal Chief whistled.

  Swish! A silver-white spider thread shot out from several hundred meters above.

  The spider thread crossed through the entire area.

  This spider thread was as thin as a hair and so sharp that not even superb weapons could block it. As this spider thread shot past them, the martial artists paled.

  But the Origin Immortal Chief appeared to not care.

  Stomping on a stone, she lunged forward like a civet cat. As she jumped, she took out a black silk glove which she put on her hand. She caught hold of the thread and was able to climb the thread to reach the stone wall to her right.

  Bang!

  She then thrust out a palm and shattered the rock, after which she extracted a small bronze-colored piece of metal with the Origin Immortal symbol upon it and slammed it inside.

  Kaclack! The clunking and turning of mechanisms came from the rock wall, getting louder and louder until it seemed like a thunderstorm was taking place right in the middle of the abyss. A massive mechanism had begun to turn.

  Thudthudthud!

  The inconceivable took place. The rock walls shattered, and massive bronze slabs began to protrude from the rock.

  One slab, two slabs, three slabs…

  From top to bottom, left to right, layer upon layer of bronze slabs in various shapes and sizes shot out from the rock walls, immediately transforming the core region.

  From a distance, these numerous bronze slabs created a grandiose sight within the abyss.

  As everyone was plummeting, these terraced bronze slabs became a critical lifeline.

  “What’s going on here?”

  “Forget it! Just hold on!”

  A martial artist extended a long ape-like limb and grabbed onto a prot
ruding bronze slab.

  Boom! A large rock came down from above and struck the bronze slab, causing it to shudder and the martial artist to break out in a cold sweat, but he still counted himself lucky.

  The other martial artists also began to use their various techniques, landing on the bronze slabs like so many rain drops.

  The Origin Immortal Chief was paying little attention to what was happening below her. Her bright eyes were aimed upward, focused on the fingernail-sized form of Wang Chong.

  Boom!

  Once Wang Chong had descended several hundred meters, the Origin Immortal Chief thrust out her palm and sent a stream of Stellar Energy into the palm-sized, compass-shaped piece she had placed into the wall.

  There was a large boom as a massive bronze plank shot out of the rock and appeared beneath Wang Chong.

  This sudden development left Wang Chong stunned.

  “Young Patriarch, hurry!” the Origin Immortal Chief worriedly called out.

  Wang Chong immediately exerted an immense pull, grabbing onto the bronze plank and then using it to reach the wall.

  Boom!

  The bronze plank slammed into the rock wall on the other side in a great explosion of dust.

  At the final moment, however, Wang Chong had managed to fly up into the air and get above the impact site.

  Rumble!

  But before there was any time to catch his breath, a thunderous explosion came from above.

  Wang Chong looked up in alarm.

  Three to four thousand meters above everyone else, a blazing ‘sun’ floated. Within this sun, two dreadful energies were embroiled in fierce combat, sending howling gusts of wind down below.

  All the martial artists looked up in fear at the enormous golden ball of light.

  “Origin Immortal Lord, hand that object over and I can still spare your life.” A cold and aloof voice emerged from the blazing sun, shocking everyone to their core.

  It’s that True Lord Yellow Dragon!

  Wang Chong’s eyes narrowed. He had immediately recognized that voice as belonging to that figure he had seen in that man in black’s mind from long ago. Although the seal had prevented him from seeing that person’s face, the clothes they wore were identical.
