Chapter 1666 - 1649: Ultimate Emperor
This time, when the New Emperor visited the Wuji Sect, the whole world was watching.
The result was unexpected; even the Human Race Four Emperors appeared to protect the Wuji Sect.
The followers of the New Emperor were utterly silent, their bodies trembling.
At this moment, everyone in Wuji City was stunned.
Did the New Emperor visit just to lure out the Human Race Four Emperors?
Why would the New Emperor do such a thing?
"This is a matter between Great Emperors, let’s not get involved. Anyway, with the Human Race Four Emperors here, since they’re after my brother, they will surely protect us."
Xiao Fan remained rather calm.
Three days ago, they were distressed over the New Emperor’s visiting request. The appearance of the Four Emperors instantly put them at ease, which was why they agreed to the New Emperor’s visit.
"Indeed, this is a matter between Great Emperors, we martial artists have no way to intervene," Wu Ming said with a bitter smile, nodding.
Over the years, their strength had improved, but they were still incomparable to the Great Emperors.
"I just don’t know how that brat Xiao Ye is doing now..." Wu Ming thought to himself.
In mid-air, the New Emperor’s palace blotted out the sky; the figures of the Five Great Emperors stood tall, their Emperor’s Power vast, attracting countless fervent gazes.
Five Great Emperors appearing together!
This was definitely a first in the history of the True Spirit Continent!
Is this the horror of the Emperor Sect? When in trouble, the Human Race Four Emperors 모두 appear to protect?
"Hehe... Should I address you as New Emperor, or as Ultimate Emperor?"
"Chou Gushen, thousands of years ago, I appeared to severely injure you."
"I never thought you could escape the blow of time’s blade, and live to this era, even defying the heavens to become an Emperor."
"Using such a method to lure out us Four Emperors, aren’t you afraid we’ll suppress you?"
Among the Human Race Four Emperors, the Iron Blood Emperor suddenly sneered, gazing at the New Emperor.
"Sigh, Iron Blood, I never expected to be recognized by you. It seems the cause and effect between us have not been severed."
Upon hearing these words, the New Emperor sighed helplessly, then his shrouded Divine Light dimmed, revealing his true form.
This was a very valiant man, appearing quite young, each strand of his black hair brimming with power. On his forehead was a black seal, shimmering with a demonic light.
"I survived to this era because I am smart enough not to be as foolish as the Cang Clan Patriarch; I accepted the guidance of the Ancient Heavenly Mechanism Sect, hiding away in a place your Human Race Four Emperors couldn’t find, waiting for the opportunity to become Emperor."
The conversation between the New Emperor and the Iron Blood Emperor instantly aroused exclamations.
Chou Gushen?
The name, though buried in the annals of time, was not unfamiliar to martial artists well-versed in the history of the Iron Blood Emperor’s era.
Chou Gushen, the Main Palace Master of the Ultimate Palace!
It was rumored that when the Iron Blood Emperor destroyed the Ultimate Palace, Chou Gushen was obliterated by him. Never did anyone expect him to survive, and even defy the heavens to become an Emperor!
At this moment, countless martial artists felt a chill in their hearts.
Oh heavens!
A new Emperor, actually the former Main Palace Master of the Ultimate Palace?
Given the ways of the Ultimate Palace, the Main Palace Master becoming an Emperor is absolutely catastrophic!
Especially for the martial artists of the Wuji Sect, they were horrified to the extreme.
Their Sect Leader, Xiao Ye, had ties with the Ultimate Palace that needed no elaboration. Years ago, Xiao Ye even killed the opponent’s child.
Now that Chou Gushen had become Emperor, would he spare them?
"I think you’re not very smart either."
"Now that we’ve met, we Four Emperors will naturally suppress you." Iron Blood Emperor’s Star Battle Body erupted, the Emperor’s Power vast, overwhelming murderous intent firmly locked onto the New Emperor.
Wushuang, Wudi, and Jue Dai, the three Great Emperors, also wielded the Emperor Soldiers, ready to act.
They descended upon True Spirit this time to assess the New Emperor’s character.
Since the opponent was indeed the former Main Palace Master of the Ultimate Palace, was there any reason to hesitate?
"Four Emperors, if you act together, I truly am not your match and could likely be killed by you."
"However, if an Emperor Battle erupts and I am willing, the Wuji Sect and even the entire True Spirit Continent could be shattered. Would you really drag all sentient beings to their doom?"
Yet, facing the Human Race Four Emperors, Chou Gushen revealed a bright smile, causing the Four Emperors’ expressions to shift and darken.
Chou Gushen was right.
After all, the opponent wasn’t the Cang Clan Patriarch.
The four of them could indeed kill him together.
But in the process, if he wished, he would unquestionably shatter the True Spirit Continent and drag all life to their demise first.
A crazed Great Emperor would be catastrophic.
This was not what they wanted to see.
"I have a way to cease fighting."
"After becoming Emperor, I sensed an even higher realm, but that path should be in your Four Emperors’ hands."
"My request is that you let me leave the True Spirit Continent through that path. In return, my grudge against the Wuji Sect Leader Xiao Ye for killing my son will be put aside. This is the true reason I lured you Four Emperors to appear."
"This is a worthwhile transaction for you. You wouldn’t want your beloved disciples to be killed by me, would you?"
A hint of madness appeared on Chou Gushen’s face, confident in his victory.
Martial artists have always been unwilling to remain obscure.
He endured for so many years for the sake of becoming an Emperor, willing to even forgo the vendetta over killing his son.
The Human Race Four Emperors fell silent upon hearing this.
Let Chou Gushen take that path beyond the True Spirit?
Knowing Chou Gushen’s nature, temporarily letting go doesn’t mean letting go forever. If they let him go this time, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, sowing future trouble!
But if they refused Chou Gushen’s request, would they really let him shatter the True Spirit Continent?
What should they choose?
"Letting you leave True Spirit? That’s impossible!"
"Four Emperors, since this New Emperor is indeed the former Main Palace Master of the Ultimate Palace, let Xiao resolve this cause and effect. You only need to protect the True Spirit Continent."
Amid the Four Emperors’ hesitation, suddenly a cold voice was heard, and from afar in the Heavenly Dome, a young man in a black robe walked step by step through the air, confronting Chou Gushen directly.
His figure was tall and slender, his features delicate, each step causing the heavens and earth to mourn, the wind flowing around him as if clearing a path.
"Isn’t that the Wuji Sect Leader Xiao Ye?"
"Oh my, has Lord Xiao returned?"
"A New Emperor rises, and Lord Xiao’s path to becoming Emperor is broken..."
...
As this black-robed youth appeared, the world fell silent, and astonished gazes were cast his way, filled with a sense of regretful sighs.
The martial artists of the Wuji Sect, after their initial excitement, were trembling in their hearts.
Though Xiao Ye was strong, how could he contend with a Great Emperor?
"Xiao Ye!"
"If you hadn’t appeared, I was willing to leave the True Spirit as a price to spare you. Now that you’ve shown yourself, I want to kill you as easily as crushing an ant, and the Four Emperors will still obediently let me leave the True Spirit."
The always composed Chou Gushen, upon seeing this black-robed youth, revealed a coldness in his eyes.
