Chapter 801: Crushing a Quasi-Emperor with One Hand
Su Han had seen Great Emperor Realm experts strike before, like the Kun Jing Great Emperor of the East Sea, the Empress Duobao of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and had even been struck by the Killing Emperor of the Demon Slayer Sect, whose killing aura almost extinguished his own life force.
But this was the first time Su Han witnessed the Flying Immortal Great Emperor make a move.
Only to see the Flying Immortal Great Emperor reach out with a hand, instantly weaving a massive hand of Space-Time power.
The fusion of Time Force and Spatial Force is what constitutes Space-Time. Saint Realm experts, though they master Time Force, cannot fuse it with Spatial Force, thus their power is limited.
However, Great Emperor Realm experts not only have their own Space-Time Domain but also master the Power of Space-Time, far more formidable than Saints.
A Space-Time giant hand, tens of thousands of meters in size, condensed in the blink of an eye and reached for the Wheel-Turning King.
At this moment, the Wheel-Turning King had already dived into the void, leaving no trace, wandering who knows where. Yet the Space-Time giant hand reached in, effortlessly plucking the Wheel-Turning King from the void like a chick, directly slamming him to the ground, akin to the Five Finger Mountain suppressing the Monkey King, leaving no chance for escape.
The strength of the Wheel-Turning King was undeniable. Not only was he a quasi-emperor expert, but he also wielded formidable Purple Flame Dark Thunder, having even defeated the Mysterious Great Sword Saint, nearly killing him.
Yet, in front of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, the Wheel-Turning King couldn’t muster any resistance, akin to a chick being toyed with, displaying an insurmountable gap in their powers.
"Stronger than the Empress Duobao!"
Su Han’s pupils shrank sharply, his heart shaken.
Observing a portion and deducing the whole, although the Flying Immortal Great Emperor did not exert himself fully, this Space-Time giant hand alone was enough to infer his might. Comparing him to Empress Duobao, Su Han discovered she was not as powerful as he.
Moreover, Su Han hadn’t forgotten that the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was a Sword Cultivator. Not even drawing his sword, nor unleashing Sword Intent, he solely relied on the Power of Space-Time to subdue the Wheel-Turning King, proving his undisputable strength.
"Flying Immortal Great Emperor, you cannot kill me. I am one of the Ten Great Yama Kings of King Yama’s Palace. Killing me means waging war with King Yama’s Palace, and your Heavenly Sword Dynasty will be filled with wailing!"
The Wheel-Turning King was tightly suppressed by the Space-Time giant hand, unable to move at all. Sensing the killing intent of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, his eyes widened with terror as he quickly spoke, threatening with the might of King Yama’s Palace to spare his own life.
And at this moment, Su Han finally discerned the Wheel-Turning King’s visage, always shrouded in Thunder Light. It was an elder clad in a long robe, with a square crown on his head and long beard, wearing a special, sinister mask that disturbed Divine Sense upon a mere glance, difficult to endure.
With the mask obscuring his face, Su Han couldn’t see the elder’s true appearance or discern his identity. However, to the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, knowing the elder was the ninth-ranked among the Ten Great Yama Kings was sufficient.
Su Han understood that the Wheel-Turning King, ranked tenth among the Ten Great Yama Kings, was actually the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s Demonic Embryo. Hence, the elder’s apparent identity was probably long known to the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, who was well aware of everything within King Yama’s Palace.
At this moment, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor remained expressionless, utterly unmoved by the Wheel-Turning King’s threats. At his level of strength and status, such threats were useless.
"Flying Immortal Great Emperor, it was your son who provoked this first. He uprooted our stronghold of King Yama’s Palace and also slew a Director and six Deputy Directors. It was only due to rage that the three great Yin Commanders acted foolishly. If you let me go, this will end here, and our King Yama’s Palace will no longer enter the Heavenly Sword Dynasty."
Seeing the threats were futile, the Wheel-Turning King started reasoning. The matter of right and wrong was already entangled. The Rotten Corpse Saint ambushed Su Han, who then uprooted the stronghold and killed a Director. The three great Yin Commanders had also died, perpetuating an endless cycle of revenge.
Unfortunately, no matter how eloquent he was, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s expression remained unchanged.
"I am willing to exchange my life for an Immortality Medicine!"
Gritting his teeth, the Wheel-Turning King decided to buy his life. Although immortality medicine was precious, his life was more important. He had no desire to perish here, leaving everything as void.
He was already a quasi-emperor. Once he overcame the Path Enlightenment Heavenly Tribulation, he could break through to the Great Emperor Realm. He had suffered and endured countless hardships to reach this point. How could he contemplate dying here?
"Have you finished speaking?"
The Flying Immortal Great Emperor finally spoke, leaving the Wheel-Turning King somewhat bewildered, unable to understand his intention.
"If you’ve finished, then you can die now!"
The Flying Immortal Great Emperor spoke indifferently, causing the Wheel-Turning King’s hair to stand on end, with fear overwhelming his heart.
"I was wrong. Flying Immortal Great Emperor, I beg you to spare me. From now on, wherever you are, I will leave immediately and will never cross into the Heavenly Sword Dynasty again!"
The Wheel-Turning King finally became afraid, pleading for mercy to preserve his life. However, the Space-Time giant hand tightened suddenly, with a snapping sound as it crushed the Wheel-Turning King’s body, shattering his bones.
Though strong, the Wheel-Turning King was nothing in front of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor. Regardless of the thousand techniques and myriad Secret Techniques he possessed, he could not break free, instead being crushed by the Space-Time giant hand, with bones breaking and viscera shattering, continually coughing up fragments of internal organs.
"Flying Immortal Great Emperor, please spare me. I don’t want to die. I am willing to serve you as my master, to become your servant!"
Faced with life and death, the Wheel-Turning King abandoned any notion of dignity and face. Only while alive could these be retained. Once dead, all was lost and there would be nothing left.
Yet, despite the Wheel-Turning King’s pleas, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor remained cold and unmoved.
"Flying Immortal Great Emperor, our King Yama’s Palace has no intention of being your enemy. On my behalf, spare the Wheel-Turning King this time!"
Just then, a voice as majestic as the heavens resounded from the sky, shattering clouds in all ten directions, with an overwhelming Imperial Might spreading everywhere like sunlight, causing everything to tremble.
"Another Great Emperor!"
Su Han’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting that today, besides the quasi-emperor Wheel-Turning King, King Yama’s Palace had sent another Great Emperor expert.
This... was simply incredible!
"King Chu Jiang, your face is not enough!"
The Flying Immortal Great Emperor was unsurprised, as if anticipating this person’s arrival, and judging by his title, this mysterious Great Emperor was the second-ranked King Chu Jiang of King Yama’s Palace.
Crash!
Under the Wheel-Turning King, black water emerged out of thin air, attempting to rescue him, evidently an action by King Chu Jiang.
"Hmph!"
The Flying Immortal Great Emperor snorted coldly, having long anticipated this. The Space-Time giant hand suddenly clenched tight, with immense Space-Time Force crushing the Wheel-Turning King’s eyes to bulge and tongue loll out, his body continually compressed until ultimately, with a bang, it exploded into a blood mist, leaving nothing behind.
One of the Ten Great Yama Kings, the Wheel-Turning King, thus fell, leaving not even a trace behind!
