Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

"What a powerful Divine Thought Secret Technique! That last strike was definitely not something a newly ascended Spirit King could unleash!"

"Could Jiang Chen’s Divine Thought Power have already reached the High Tier Spirit King level?"

"That’s unbelievable!"

The crowd cried out in alarm, whispering among themselves.

When the Divine Punishment Holy Sword appeared a moment ago, the terrifying Divine Thought Power it contained had startled even the Human Emperors.

Huang Xianyi stared at Jiang Chen, his face dark. "You’re a High Tier Spirit King?"

"High Tier Spirit King?"

Jiang Chen gave a mocking smile and said, "I just broke through in the last couple of days. I didn’t have a chance to tell you, so Huang Qiu died for nothing. My apologies!"

During the Third Stage of the trials to refine the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle, while absorbing the Holy Blood within the Holy Blood Spirit Pool, Jiang Chen had undergone a heart-tempering trial.

As a result, his Divine Thought grew even stronger!

He broke through to the Middle Tier Spirit King realm.

He was only a step away from the High Tier Spirit King level. Over the past few days, he had slain several experts from the Six Mountains Dynasty, including a master like the Sea Dragon King, who was at the Peak of Human King Realm. After devouring the Sea Dragon King’s Martial Soul and Essence Blood, Jiang Chen’s Divine Thought Power took that final step, reaching the High Tier Spirit King realm.

With his current strength, his Divine Thought Power alone was enough to sweep through the Human King Realm!

If he also used his strength at the Fourth Stage of Human King Realm and fully unleashed his enhanced God-Devouring Realm, Jiang Chen would dare to fight even a newly ascended Human Emperor!

’Damn it.’

Huang Xianyi’s gaze was incredibly dark, flickering with an unsteady light. "Jiang Chen, you’ve done well! Since the founding of my Six Mountains Dynasty, no one has ever pushed us this far. You are the first. However, you will also be the last! Today, I, the Emperor, will take your head! Then I will dispatch my armies to the Cloud Domain and slaughter every person there to uphold the might of my Six Mountains Dynasty!"

Among the Ten Great Upper-Grade Dynasties of the Eastern Continent, the Six Mountains Dynasty had the shortest history, but it was the one most feared by the others.

The other dynasties had scruples and wouldn’t harm commoners.

But the Six Mountains Dynasty was different...

The Six Mountains Sword Venerable had started as a bandit—vengeful over the smallest slight and rampantly lawless. The Six Mountains Dynasty inherited his typical style.

Those who opposed them either had their entire clan exterminated or their whole nation annihilated!

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Huang Xianyi. He gave a faint smile, but it was laced with icy killing intent. He spoke, enunciating each word, "Slaughter my domain? You’ll have to live long enough to do that!"

Huang Xianyi was stunned for a moment, then burst into roaring laughter, tears almost streaming from his eyes. He pointed at Jiang Chen. "HAHAHA! Jiang Chen, are you sure you know who you’re talking to? I am a dignified expert at the Third Stage of Human Emperor Realm, a master on the Celestial Venerable List, and you, a mere Human King, actually want to kill me?"

"So what if you’re at the Third Stage of Human Emperor Realm? Yue Qianshan was at the same realm as you!" Jiang Chen said coolly.

"You..."

Huang Xianyi’s expression changed abruptly, and his gaze turned grim.

Yue Qianshan’s death was a huge loss for the Six Mountains Dynasty, and an even greater humiliation!

If not for their fear of the mysterious expert who killed Yue Qianshan, the Six Mountains Dynasty would have already dispatched Human Emperor Realm experts to invade the Cloud Domain.

A flicker appeared in his eyes as he said in a low voice, "Everyone knows Yue Qianshan died at the hands of the mysterious expert backing you. Jiang Chen, if you’re a man, do you dare to fight me, the Emperor, with your own strength?"

Huang Xianyi was already sounding less confident than before.

’He’s feeling apprehensive!’

「Within the Imperial Capital.」

The hidden Human Emperors heard this and all sneered. ’Looks like Huang Xianyi is scared...’

’That’s a master suspected to be in the Emperor Realm. Who wouldn’t be afraid?’

’But... does Jiang Chen really have an Emperor Realm master backing him?’

’Who knows? But from what I’ve seen, this Jiang Chen is anything but reckless. For him to dare charge into the Imperial Capital of the Six Mountains Dynasty alone, he must have an ace up his sleeve!’

’Do you think he’ll dare accept Huang Xianyi’s challenge?’

’A Human Emperor fighting a Human King? He wouldn’t dare, would he?’

Just as the various Emperors were discussing this, a calm smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. He gently patted Xiaoyou’s back, waking her.

Xiaoyou’s chubby little hands rubbed her sleepy eyes as she looked at Jiang Chen. "Big brother, what’s wrong?"

"Xiaoyou, how about I send you somewhere quiet to sleep, okay?" Jiang Chen said with a gentle smile.

Xiaoyou paused.

She looked around at the vast, dark expanse of the Six Mountains Dynasty’s army and Huang Xianyi. Being a sensible child, she nodded. She wrapped her chubby arms tightly around Jiang Chen’s neck and said in a child-like voice, "Go, big brother! Xiaoyou believes you can beat all these bad guys!"

"Okay. When I’ve beaten them, I’ll take you to get some candied fruit!" Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Mhm!"

Xiaoyou nodded seriously.

With a flicker of his Divine Thought, Jiang Chen sent Xiaoyou into the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle.

The Celestial Demon Ancient Castle resided within his body.

Not even an Emperor Realm expert could harm Xiaoyou in there!

Jiang Chen then raised his head, looked at Huang Xianyi, and said coolly, "Huang Xianyi, make your move!"

"You’ve got guts!"

Huang Xianyi was overjoyed. As if afraid Jiang Chen would go back on his word, he suddenly attacked.

Those at the Human Emperor Realm could already traverse the void.

His figure flashed, and he dove directly into the void. When he reappeared, he was already behind Jiang Chen.

A cold light gathered in his palm as he struck at Jiang Chen’s back. "Mighty Dragon Crosses the River!"

ROAR!

The light from his palm transformed into a ferocious dragon, which opened its gaping maw and charged at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen turned and countered with a slash.

The Vast Land technique from the Thick Earth Sword Technique bloomed with an earthy-yellow Sword Aura. As his longsword swept out, mountains of earth rose up one after another in front of him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The two completely different energies collided, causing the earthen mountains to crack and shatter. Like a raging river, the force of the palm continued unabated, crushing toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was blown back again and again, his longsword swinging ceaselessly.

The earthen mountains appeared one after another, stretching for hundreds of yards.

Hundreds of yards of earthen mountain Sword Qi were shattered to dust, and only then was Huang Xianyi’s casual palm strike finally neutralized.

Huang Xianyi’s face was full of mockery. "Is that all you’ve got?"

Jiang Chen said calmly, "It’s too early to tell who will be victorious. You’re celebrating too soon!"

"Is that so?"

Huang Xianyi grinned and said, "Then try this move on for size—Shadow Splitting Technique!"

SWISH!

Huang Xianyi’s form abruptly changed.

One... two... three... four...

Over a thousand figures of Huang Xianyi appeared high in the sky, surrounding Jiang Chen. A thousand Huang Xianyis spoke in unison, "The might of a Human Emperor is inviolable. To offend a Human Emperor is to walk the path of death. Open your eyes and see clearly. This... is the power of a Human Emperor!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Over a thousand Huang Xianyis attacked simultaneously.

Ripples in space instantly appeared across the void.

The cloud clusters in the Celestial Vault exploded, and the light of the Blazing Sun was blotted out. One Void Storm after another raged forth, their Annihilation Gang Winds crisscrossing as they bore down on Jiang Chen.

The might of a Human Emperor could tear the heavens and sunder the earth!

Jiang Chen was at the center of the spatial storm, his life hanging by a thread...
