Chapter 2989: Pursuing the Human Emperor
The divine soul of a Strongest can be dispersed throughout every part of the body.
Unless a Strongest is completely obliterated, their divine soul will remain eternally indestructible!
However, if the Taoist Venerable’s divine soul hasn’t been crushed, then what’s going on with him now? If his divine soul is still intact, why would he lose control?
Puzzled, others also arrived at the scene.
Upon seeing the Taoist Venerable’s situation, everyone was shocked beyond measure.
No one expected such a transformation for a Strongest.
What’s more, it’s someone as powerful as the Taoist Venerable!
"What on earth is happening?" Wan Du asked in astonishment.
Everyone shook their heads, as they too had no idea what was going on.
Qi’er looked worried, quickly running to Su Yang’s side, "Brother Su, I... where’s my father?"
"Did he really go to investigate this matter?"
Su Yang nodded helplessly, "The Human Emperor’s situation is unclear, I’m planning to find him myself."
"Everyone, you have seen the Taoist Venerable’s condition."
"Aside from the Seven Great Heavenly Venerables, I can think of no other possibility that could cause this."
"Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Seven Great Heavenly Venerables might directly target us."
"For safety’s sake, I have decided that our Human Clan must now begin to thoroughly guard against an attack from the Seven Great Heavenly Venerables!"
"In the upcoming period, the Human Clan must be on high-alert defense, and all of you should not leave the Human Clan grounds temporarily."
"We must not give the Seven Great Heavenly Venerables any opportunity!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, seeing the Taoist Venerable’s situation, they understood how severe the matter was.
Even a Strongest like Taoist Venerable has ended up like this, others wouldn’t fare much better either!
Qi’er hurriedly said, "Brother Su, I’ll go with you to find my father!"
Su Yang looked at her, hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement, "Alright, come with me!"
"The rest of you, do not leave the Human Clan grounds."
"If any unexpected situation arises, I will contact you immediately."
"Furthermore, guard the Human Clan carefully. Should an emergency occur, crush the Earth Principle Jade Pendant, and I will naturally return!"
Everyone nodded in approval, realizing the gravity of the situation now, even greater than the previous attack from the Guardian God, no one dared to be careless.
Su Yang made all necessary arrangements, and set off with Qi’er.
While traveling, Su Yang also brought along another person, who was the Strongest who had previously delivered a message to the Human Clan.
This Strongest is named Confuser, and he is an elderly man with white hair and a white beard.
His strength among the Strongest is considered middle-level.
He is not as as outstanding as the Human Emperor, but stronger than someone like the Supreme Dragon Emperor.
According to him, he is one of the few people the Human Emperor met during his travels. He has a good relationship with the Human Emperor and came to offer help to the Human Clan.
Later on, they happened to find traces left by the Taoist Venerable and followed them.
As a result, in a very remote part of the Great World, they encountered the transformed Taoist Venerable.
At that time, the Taoist Venerable had already killed two Strongest nearby, like a beast, seeking to slaughter people everywhere.
The Human Emperor arrived then, originally intending to have a conversation with the Taoist Venerable. But the Taoist Venerable was already deranged, and directly attacked the Human Emperor.
With no other option, the Human Emperor teamed up with several others to hold back the Taoist Venerable, and then sent Confuser to the Human Clan to request reinforcements, leading to subsequent events.
Qi’er urgently asked, "My father found some traces, what are those traces?"
"What was he investigating?"
Confuser shook his head, "I’m not sure about that either."
"When we encountered the Taoist Venerable, we immediately engaged in combat."
"Then, I came to the Human Clan to request reinforcements."
"As for what happened in between, I know nothing at all."
"I don’t know what traces the Human Emperor mentioned either!"
Qi’er was even more worried. Not knowing the specifics, her father went off on a risk, who knows what might happen?
If he too encounters the same situation as the Taoist Venerable, and becomes like the Taoist Venerable, what would they do?
Seeing Qi’er’s anxious expression, Su Yang softly said, "Qi’er, you don’t need to worry too much."
"Good people are often blessed, the Human Emperor will be fine!"
Qi’er sighed, knowing that Su Yang was trying to comfort her. But in the current situation, what good can comfort do? She’s truly worried about her father’s situation!
Using Chaos Sparrow for positioning, Su Yang swiftly traversed through space, quickly reaching the location where the Human Emperor discovered the Taoist Venerable.
Here, Su Yang and the others indeed found traces of a battle.
The destructive power was immense, and the fighting aura still lingered, one of them being the Human Emperor’s.
Su Yang sensed everything around the battlefield, searching for the traces mentioned by the Human Emperor.
But in the end, he found nothing.
The traces that the Human Emperor mentioned were nowhere to be found. Aside from traces of battle, there was nothing else special here.
"Which direction was my father pursuing?" Qi’er asked anxiously.
Confuser pointed towards the far sky, and Qi’er immediately flew in that direction.
Su Yang followed closely behind, worried that Qi’er might encounter danger.
The three flew a long distance ahead, without any discovery.
They could sense the aura left by the Human Emperor, but couldn’t find him, nor were there any special discoveries.
After searching for a long time, they still found nothing.
Suddenly, Confuser stopped.
"Su Alliance Leader, something’s off here!" Confuser said.
"What’s wrong?" Su Yang immediately flew over.
Confuser pointed at a nearby spot, and said softly, "The space there is overlapping."
Su Yang glanced at it, he had already noticed it when passing by. But space overlap is common and there’s nothing special about it.
"What’s wrong with overlapping space?" Su Yang asked curiously.
"That space seems to be deliberately overlapped by someone!" Confuser said. "There’s a kind of artificial trace!"
"Artificial?" Qi’er exclaimed, she felt nothing.
"Let’s go have a look!" Qi’er said.
Su Yang nodded, walking ahead, quietly observing the overlapping space before him.
In the Great World, space overlap is common.
But if it’s deliberately made to overlap, it’s certainly worth paying attention to, there might indeed be some traces inside.
Approaching the overlapping space, Su Yang discovered that the surroundings were quickly changing.
This is the characteristic of overlapping space, with a mere step forward, one can enter different spaces, and different spaces naturally present different scenarios, causing the surroundings to change rapidly.
