Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Over a thousand Huang Xianyis attacked simultaneously, causing the void to collapse as blasts of Annihilation Gang Wind crisscrossed through the air.

This corner of the world fell silent, consumed by a spatial storm.

Countless experts scrambled to retreat, avoiding the brunt of the assault, not daring to let even a wisp of the Annihilation Gang Wind touch them.

Light pulsed above the Imperial Capital as its protective Array fully activated.

This prevented the city from being caught in the blast.

The shattered void, the chaotic Annihilation Gang Wind, and the raging Void Storm surged toward Jiang Chen like a mighty army, threatening to crush him.

Jiang Chen’s gaze was as sharp as lightning. Golden light pulsed from his body as he pushed his Divine Demon Tyrant Body to its absolute limit.

His physical body was now as durable as a Saint-tier Profound Weapon!

He struggled to hold his ground within the collapsing void, enduring the brutal onslaught of the Void Storm. But the one million human heads trailing behind him could not withstand it. With a series of BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! explosions, they burst apart one after another.

They turned into a sky-filling mist of blood, and a torrential rain of gore showered down.

BANG!

The void behind Jiang Chen suddenly ripped open. A hand reached out and jabbed a finger into his back.

Surging energy washed over him, wave after relentless wave.

Jiang Chen grunted, his body lurching forward. In front of him, several more rifts tore open in the void, and hands shot out from within.

Some formed palms, others fists, while yet others formed Sword Fingers that stabbed through the air.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A torrent of powerful attacks shot toward him in rapid succession.

Jiang Chen snorted, his dark eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He had already fully activated his God-Devouring Realm. The golden light around him intensified, and the fluctuations of his aura surged. The Annihilation Gang Wind and Void Storms became a source of power for his God-Devouring Realm to consume.

His power soared all the way to the Human King Realm Eighth Stage.

"Star Luo Destruction!"

A torrent of starlight surged forth. Specks of stellar light streaked across the sky, gathering into a river of stars.

WHOOSH!

The Sword Aura, like a celestial river, pierced the void and carved a graceful arc across the Celestial Vault.

It was like a galaxy stretched across the heavens.

RUMBLE!

The power of the Four Great Secrets of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind empowered the Sword Aura, elevating its might to a whole new level.

Wherever it passed...

The attacks launched by Huang Xianyi were utterly crushed by the four-colored Sword Qi.

With a single movement, Jiang Chen flashed his cyan wings and shot through the narrow gaps between the void rifts.

His hand formed a seal for his Sword Technique.

He unleashed the Spirit-Slaying Sword. "Star Luo Destruction!"

"Heaven and Earth Split!"

"Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

Jiang Chen swung his sword again and again, like a peerless Sword God, shattering the illusory figures of Huang Xianyi before him.

Huang Xianyi hovered in the air, a cold, confident smile still on his face. "To think you could break out of the Void Storm... With that ability alone, you’re qualified to rank among the top three on the Earth Venerable List. What an enviably terrifying talent. It’s a pity. No matter what a genius you are, you will die by my hands today."

BZZZZ—

Huang Xianyi pressed his palms together in front of his chest, then slowly pulled them apart.

Between his palms, a ball of light as blazing and brilliant as the sun itself began to form, growing ever brighter.

As the light converged, a Long Spear materialized in his hands.

The Long Spear was silver from end to end, covered in coiling, mystical Inscriptions that gave off a faint, holy radiance. It was a Saint-tier Profound Weapon!

"A Saint Tier Middle Level Profound Weapon, the Cloud-Piercing Spear!"

Huang Xianyi smiled coldly. He took a deep breath, and holding the Cloud-Piercing Spear, he suddenly thrust it toward Jiang Chen.

A silver tempest erupted from the Cloud-Piercing Spear, tearing open the void like an impossibly sharp Battle Blade. Torrents of Annihilation Gang Wind and Void Storms poured out of the resulting rifts, coiling around the spear. With a final BOOM, the pulsing energy transformed into a colossal, raging torrent.

It surged straight for Jiang Chen.

RUMBLE...

Space trembled violently wherever the Spear Aura passed.

The thrust seemed slow.

But in reality, it appeared before Jiang Chen in an instant, without any warning.

Experts at the Human Emperor Realm have mastery over the power of space.

They can invert Qiankun and turn the world upside down, ignoring the barrier of distance.

’This is bad!’

A flicker of alarm crossed Jiang Chen’s eyes. The aura emanating from the Spear Aura carried the threat of death.

He tapped his foot against the ground, and the cyan wings on his back began to beat.

Pushing his Golden-winged Roc Body Technique to its limit, he retreated continuously, covering several kilometers in an instant.

However...

No matter how fast he was, he couldn’t outrun a Spear Aura that traversed the void itself!

Almost at the same moment Jiang Chen came to a stop...

The Spear Aura, which had seemed to be kilometers away, was already before him. Its sharp point tore the battle armor on his chest to shreds.

Jiang Chen shuddered as golden light pulsed from his body.

The sharp point of the Spear Aura pressed against his chest, spinning like a crazed gyroscope and throwing off a shower of sparks with its constant impacts. It drove Jiang Chen backward until, with a BOOM, it slammed him brutally into the ground.

The power of that single thrust was immense!

Its force didn’t diminish in the slightest.

It continued to drive Jiang Chen back, tearing the very earth apart wherever the surging Spear Aura passed. Dust filled the air, earth and stone were churned up, mountains were obliterated, and rivers were vaporized...

It sent Jiang Chen flying back for dozens of kilometers!

He was only stopped when he slammed into a towering mountain peak.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The entire land trembled. The towering mountain shook violently as a blast of light erupted from within. It blew the mountain to pieces, sending a thick mushroom cloud soaring toward Yun Xiao!

Dust filled the sky, like a massive sandstorm!

When everything faded away...

Outside the Imperial Capital City, a massive trench had appeared. It stretched for dozens of kilometers, was several thousand meters wide, and a hundred meters deep.

At its end...

The thousand-meter-high mountain peak had vanished without a trace. In its place was a huge, funnel-shaped sinkhole, like a meteor crater, as vast as a small city that could house tens of thousands of people.

HISS—

A series of sharp intakes of breath could be heard across the land.

A Human King can rule over a nation!

But a Human Emperor can rule over an entire region, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

How could anyone dare to offend the heavenly might of a Human Emperor?

"What about Jiang Chen? He couldn’t have died, right?"

"Jiang Chen is strong, no one can deny that, but he was too arrogant. How dare he provoke a Human Emperor? He was just asking for death!"

"The heavenly might of a Human Emperor is inviolable."

"Wait..."

Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm, "Everyone, look! Something strange is happening over there!"

Everyone froze, their eyes turning toward the sinkhole.

Within the quiet sinkhole, the ground suddenly gave a slight shudder. The gravel and dust covering its surface began to vibrate. The vibrations grew stronger and stronger, until the stones began to jump like beans on a hot pan. With a series of CRACKLE! POP! sounds, they leaped high into the air, only to be bounced back up as soon as they landed, each time jumping higher and higher.

The jumping grew more and more intense!

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The vibrations from the sinkhole spread out in all directions—for one mile, then ten, then a hundred...

The land for a hundred miles around began to shake violently.

Countless cracks spread out from the sinkhole, fanning out in all directions and covering the land like a spiderweb.

’Such incredible power... and it’s still rising? How is he doing that?’ Hovering high in the air, Huang Xianyi’s gaze flickered as he stared intently into the depths of the sinkhole. A deep sense of unease flashed in his eyes.

He could feel an aura at the bottom of the sinkhole that was constantly surging.

It was growing stronger and stronger.

So strong that it even sent a chill of fear through him!

BOOM—

The sinkhole suddenly erupted. Amidst flying sand and stones, a pillar of light shot into the sky, straight toward Yun Xiao. Within the pillar of light, a young man bathed in golden flames, like a Golden Armor War God, slowly ascended...
