Chapter 396 - 397: The Belated Death Tribulation
Ye Wushuang stood in the center. Guided by the crown, the Emperor’s Qi manifested around his body. He stood like an Emperor, exuding an Imperial Might that reigned supreme!
At that moment, it was as if Ye Wushuang was the Emperor of heaven and earth, the lord of all living beings!
The crowd stared, dumbfounded.
Of course, the crowd was unaware that Ye Wushuang had obtained a heaven-defying object like the Destiny Golden Lotus!
The only thing they knew for certain was that Ye Wushuang had obtained a crown!
"Kid, looks like there are a lot more benefits to come!"
the Dragon Cat added.
Ye Wushuang also sensed something amiss above his head and was filled with confusion.
"The Crown of the Barbarian Emperor!"
The Giant Spirit Clan and the giant Elder stopped their chanting. They looked up, their gazes all fixed on the crown atop Ye Wushuang’s head.
That crown was a crown that only the great Barbarian Emperor could possess!
It represented everything about the Barbarians; it was their symbol!
"Could this be the will of the Barbarian God?" the giant Elder murmured to himself as he stared at Ye Wushuang, looking utterly shocked.
"It is the will of the Barbarian God. He wants this young man to become the Emperor of all Barbarians. This youth is such a demon fiend... he is indeed worthy of becoming the Barbarian Emperor!"
As he murmured, the giant Elder knelt on the ground and bowed to Ye Wushuang. The members of the Giant Spirit Clan also bowed to Ye Wushuang. The god they believed in was also the Barbarian God!
They too would obey the will of the Barbarian God!
Besides, Ye Wushuang was also their Giant Spirit Clan’s Lord Priest!
Watching the giant Elder’s actions, everyone was stunned. That giant Elder was a terrifyingly powerful expert. Even experts at the Yin Yang Realm would tremble before him, yet he was bowing to Ye Wushuang!
This was definitely not just a Barbarian God’s Blessing!
’What is happening?’
Looking at the respectful and devout worship, no one could believe what they were seeing.
Ye Wushuang was also completely bewildered. ’A simple Barbarian God’s Blessing caused all this?!’
"Crown of the Barbarian Emperor... wait... something’s wrong, something’s wrong!"
The Dragon Cat muttered, its words tumbling over one another, before it suddenly shrieked at Ye Wushuang, "Kid, you’ve really gone and done it now! Run, quick, run!"
Its urgent cries rang out abruptly.
Ye Wushuang frowned and asked, "What’s—"
BOOM!
Before he could finish his question, a world-shaking change suddenly occurred in the sky above the Endless Wilderness.
The firmament was twisting, forming a vortex that spiraled toward its center. The world suddenly plunged into darkness as a fierce wind began to howl.
’What’s happening?’
The shocking change caught the attention of everyone in the Grand Emperor Domain!
Everyone looked up at the sky. A heavy, oppressive aura spread between heaven and earth, making it hard to breathe.
RUMBLE!
Heaven and earth trembled. At the center of the distortion, a rift tore open like a scar on the firmament, gradually widening.
"Kid, run! Or you’re done for!"
the Dragon Cat roared upon seeing the sight.
Ye Wushuang also sensed that something was wrong. The center of the vortex was directly above his head. The massive, tearing maw in the firmament was also appearing right over him. It was all too bizarre.
Without time for further thought, Ye Wushuang prepared to take a step and leave the area!
However.
A terrifying pressure, like that of a hundred thousand great mountains, suddenly bore down on him. His body sank abruptly, and a muffled groan escaped his lips.
It wasn’t just him. Everyone else, no matter who they were, felt a great mountain pressing down on their hearts, filling them with a fear they had never known before.
’It’s made its move. It’s made its move! How is this possible? Didn’t I conceal the celestial secret for Xiaoshuang? How could it still have found him?!’
Watching the change in the firmament, the Star Elder’s fingers formed a quick succession of hand seals, while the expression on his pale face began to change.
Because "Heaven" had made its move. It wanted to destroy Ye Wushuang!
BOOM!
From the rift in the firmament, a power that made all living things tremble surged forth.
Endless lightning bolts of all colors poured out, roaring like Thunder Dragons between heaven and earth, carrying the threat of world annihilation.
A massive cyan claw tore through the sky full of lightning, reaching down from the firmament and swatting toward Ye Wushuang.
BANG, BANG, BANG...
A World-Suppressing Power crushed the firmament and bore down upon all living beings. Countless people prostrated on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
And Ye Wushuang, who was directly beneath it all, felt his body beginning to disintegrate.
Even though he possessed a Treasure Body, it was still disintegrating!
’What is that?’
Ye Wushuang’s expression changed drastically. An intense sense of mortal danger, so strong it was overwhelming, suddenly welled up in his heart. For the first time, he felt completely powerless to resist.
"Holy shit, that’s a Celestial Avatar of ’Heaven’! Heaven is coming after you! Damn it, with this much power, it has no intention of letting you go,"
the Dragon Cat cursed.
"Kid, you’re toast!"
The Dragon Cat hadn’t expected "Heaven" to be so ruthless, striking early to nip Ye Wushuang in the bud!
’Heaven wants to destroy me, and I’m powerless to defy it!’
As Ye Wushuang watched the cyan claw descend relentlessly, a glint of madness flashed in his eyes. "I don’t believe it!"
"Three Realms Slaughter, kill for me!"
Ye Wushuang roared. A fierce light shot from his eyes as he combined his three techniques—Heaven-Slaying, Earth Destruction, and Slaying All Living Beings—into one. An endless, blood-red saber light, carrying the power of World Destruction, surged toward the firmament.
It was like a Heaven-Reaching Blood River crashing toward the cyan claw.
Fighting Heaven! Ye Wushuang was fighting against Heaven!
The prostrated figures watched the white-robed silhouette in the void battling against Heaven!
"Heaven Defier, die!"
A merciless voice that disregarded all living beings echoed between heaven and earth. The cyan claw descended, and the river of blood-red saber light collapsed like a bubble before it had even risen halfway into the sky.
The power of heaven and earth pressed down relentlessly on Ye Wushuang. His body began to burst, spouting blood. He was powerless—powerless for the very first time!
"So this is my fated calamity... so this is how it is. But I am not resigned! I am not resigned!"
His furious roars echoed ceaselessly between heaven and earth...
BOOM!
At the same time, heaven-shaking disturbances erupted in various parts of the Grand Emperor Domain.
「In the Demon Abyss, within a palace beneath the Demon Vein.」
A seated black figure suddenly opened its eyes, which shot out endless Demonic Light, causing the entire Demon Vein to tremble.
’Why has a Celestial Avatar appeared at this moment? Could it be that "Heaven" has reawakened?!’
’It seems it is time for me to emerge into the world!’
’I wonder how those old friends of mine are doing?’
A grim, hoarse voice echoed from within the Demon Vein, unheard by any.
「Meanwhile, in the Ancestral Land of the Giant Spirit Race!」
In a mysterious land filled with Dao Charm, coffin after coffin trembled and burst open as streaks of Divine Light shot out from within.
"Heaven has acted early. Then it is time for us, the Giant Spirit Clan, to emerge as well! We have waited for this era for too long. We swear to fight it until the sky darkens and the sun and moon reverse their course! Even if our battle blood runs dry and our war bodies are ground to dust, we must seize a glimmer of hope for our clan!"
"Heaven, we, the Giant Spirit Race, are coming!"
The resounding oath echoed throughout the Enlightenment Land.
At the same time, high above a grand hall in the Holy City, a towering figure was also watching the cyan claw, its expression growing solemn.
And in many other places, terrifying auras also began to surge forth, rushing toward the firmament!
