Chapter 584 - 582: Invincible
Until the moment of his death, the Human Emperor’s eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.
He never would have imagined that he would die such a miserable death.
Jiang Chen hovered in mid-air, holding one half of the corpse. The God-slaying Sword inside him trembled slightly and began to devour the Human Emperor’s body.
Essence Blood, Martial Soul, and the residual True Essence.
All of it was devoured.
You see...
Now that he had awakened his Blood Inheritance Martial Soul, Jiang Chen no longer needed to use the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Technique to devour his targets directly.
Moreover...
The previous Heaven-Devouring Secret Technique could only devour Essence Blood and Martial Souls. But now, having awakened his Chaos Bloodline, Jiang Chen was like the Sea of All Rivers, capable of absorbing everything. He could devour and absorb all forms of energy. Even his opponent’s True Essence could become a Treasure Medicine to advance his cultivation.
The Essence Blood, Martial Soul, and True Essence of a Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage expert were enough to raise his cultivation by a large margin!
It brought him ever closer to the Human King Realm Eighth Stage!
Watching the Human Emperor Realm expert turn into a desiccated husk, the expressions of the other three changed drastically.
Only then did they finally understand what Jiang Chen meant by repaying them a hundredfold.
"Such cruel methods."
"Jiang Chen, you dare to kill my brother! May you die a horrible death!"
The remaining three Human Emperors wore savage expressions, their killing intent surging. The gazes they fixed on Jiang Chen grew even colder.
They looked as if they wanted to tear him apart with their teeth!
Jiang Chen glanced at the three men, his expression indifferent, feeling neither joy nor sorrow. "Me, cruel? You were willing to harm a four-year-old child, and you dare call me cruel? Fine. Since you say I’m cruel... then today, I’ll show you what true cruelty is!"
BOOM—
An incomparably terrifying wave of energy suddenly erupted from Jiang Chen.
Previously, worried about Xiaoyou’s safety, he had been holding back, not daring to use his full strength.
But now Xiaoyou had been tortured into such a state.
If he delayed any longer, Xiaoyou’s fate would only be more tragic. Jiang Chen decided to end this quickly!
"Five Thunder Secret Technique—Thunder World!"
Divine Thought Power at the Spirit Emperor Level was extremely rare on the entire Eastern Continent.
As soon as the Divine Thought Secret Technique was unleashed, heaven and earth trembled.
Bolts of lightning surged from all directions, forming an ocean of lightning around Jiang Chen. A single thought to create a world—this was the power of a Spirit Emperor Level expert!
The world of lightning enveloped the three Human Emperors.
Lightning continuously bombarded them. Each bolt was as thick as a water bucket and held immense power. Even though their cultivation had reached the Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage, they didn’t dare to face it head-on. They hastily activated their Defensive Martial Skills and scrambled chaotically within the Thunder World, a truly pathetic sight.
Jiang Chen strolled casually through the Thunder World.
Whenever the lightning bolts touched his body, they would automatically part and spread in all directions, as if he were the Monarch of lightning!
"Divine Punishment!"
With a turn of his Divine Thought, the already-furious sea of lightning instantly grew even more violent. Space itself trembled violently, as if it were about to be torn apart.
A Divine Punishment Holy Sword emerged from the depths of the void.
It sliced open a rift as it flew through the air, then slashed down.
"Not good!"
The Human Emperor Realm expert’s expression changed dramatically. He raised his Combat Weapon to block as the Martial Soul behind him vibrated wildly, pouring powerful streams of Martial Soul Power into his body. His entire being was encased in a layer of black Scale Armor. It was his Martial Soul—a Mountain-Piercing Beast as massive as a small mountain.
The Mountain-Piercing Beast’s defense was immense!
BOOM!
The Divine Punishment Holy Sword slashed down. Golden light exploded outward as pieces of black Scale Armor shattered and flew in all directions.
Jiang Chen’s figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the man. He thrust forward with his Spirit-Slaying Sword, which had recovered to the Saint Tier Middle Level.
PFFT—
The Spirit-Slaying Sword was incredibly sharp.
It pierced straight through his Scale Armor and impaled his body. Jiang Chen raised the Spirit-Slaying Sword high.
As the Human Emperor screamed in agony, he was lifted high into the air by Jiang Chen.
A surge of Sword Qi erupted madly from the Spirit-Slaying Sword, forming a Sword Qi Storm that burst out from within the Human Emperor powerhouse’s body.
"Ahhh..."
The Human Emperor screamed continuously.
His body was riddled with large holes from which blood gushed wildly.
Starting from his waist, he was sliced in half by Jiang Chen.
Severed into two pieces!
"Devour!"
With a blank expression, Jiang Chen devoured the second Human Emperor in an instant. The power within him was now brimming, but he was still a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Human King Realm Eighth Stage. His cold gaze fell upon the two remaining Human Emperors as he grinned. "Your turn!"
"Boss, we absolutely can’t split up! Let’s kill him together!"
"This kid is truly powerful. Our only chance of winning is to attack together!"
The two Human Emperors exchanged a look.
One from the left and one from the right, they charged at Jiang Chen simultaneously.
Facing two Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage experts at once, Jiang Chen showed no fear. With the Spirit-Slaying Sword in one hand, he unleashed a brilliant Sword Aura.
The six great Sword Intents of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Darkness completely fused together.
This was the power of the Chaos Bloodline!
To contain all things, like the Sea of All Rivers!
"Star Luo Destruction!"
"Heaven and Earth Split!"
Jiang Chen’s comprehension of the Sword Dao, and his control and application of Swordsmanship, far surpassed his Cultivation Realm.
Even a Human Emperor Realm Ninth Stage expert’s comprehension of the sword might not necessarily be more profound than his.
When he executed the same Sword Technique, its power far exceeded that of his peers,
forcing one of the Human Emperor Realm experts to be on the defensive, struggling to cope.
And with his other hand...
He threw punch after punch, his Finger Technique cutting through the air.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
A torrent of fist shadows descended like a rainstorm. At this moment, Jiang Chen pushed his speed advantage to its absolute limit, darting left and right as he relentlessly launched attacks. This left the other Human Emperor Realm expert in a sorry state as well. On top of that, both of them had to constantly guard against Jiang Chen’s Divine Thought Attacks.
For a moment, the two Human Emperor Realm experts were actually at a disadvantage!
Li Ru’s expression shifted repeatedly. He glanced at the unconscious Xiaoyou in his grasp, held her high, and shouted, "Jiang Chen, if you move another muscle, I’ll throw this little girl into the Ice Lake to feed the fish!"
SPLASH! THRASH!
The Sword-toothed Fish in the Ice Lake seemed to understand his words, thrashing about violently and sending water splashing everywhere.
Jiang Chen glanced toward Xiaoyou out of the corner of his eye, his heart trembling slightly. ’But I know that to save Xiaoyou, I have to slay all my enemies.’
’Compromising with the enemy would only give them leverage to threaten me; it won’t save Xiaoyou.’
BOOM!
BOOM!
Jiang Chen simultaneously threw a punch and unleashed a sword strike.
The howling sword’s edge struck one Human Emperor, sending him staggering. The thunderous fist shadow slammed into the other Human Emperor, making his entire body shudder and falter.
At the same time, a piercing red light erupted from Jiang Chen’s eyes as his voice boomed like thunder, "God Slaying Sword!"
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The God-slaying Sword trembled violently as two black Sword Auras shot out from within Jiang Chen’s body,
sinking directly into the bodies of the two Human Emperors.
PUFF! PUFF...
The two Human Emperors shuddered, and the light in their eyes gradually dimmed as they were slain by the God Slaying Sword. But Jiang Chen had paid a price: a full fifty years of his lifespan. It seemed a few silver strands had even appeared at the tips of his hair.
Jiang Chen was unmoved. He flashed forward and grabbed the two Human Emperors’ corpses, a sharp light in his eyes. "Devour!"
RUMBLE...
In an instant, the two Human Emperors turned into two withered corpses.
And from Jiang Chen’s body, an incredibly terrifying wave of energy erupted. He was finally about to break through to the Human King Realm Eighth Stage...
