The Human Emperor c1-2382

This group of Eastern Turkic cavalry quickly turned their eyes to a group of fifty Tang soldiers on the edge of the formation and heedlessly charged.
This group was clearly somewhat distant from the rest of the army, and this was their best chance!
It was one thousand against fifty, and as long as they could destroy a corner, they could move onto the next part and slowly destroy the formation. As for their lives, they no longer cared if they survived.
The Eastern Turks did not lack for braves!
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the two forces clashed.
But a moment later, the eyes of all the Eastern Turkic cavalry flew open.
“How could this be?!”
At the moment of collision, they felt that this was not a force of fifty soldiers, but five thousand.
The fifty cavalry had been joined to the rest of the army, producing an inconceivable strength.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After a brief stalemate, the one-thousand-some Eastern Turkic cavalry were battered away and then struck by the rest of the Tang army like a divine dragon waving its tail.
Plush! Blood gushed out of their bodies, and one could tell at a glance that there was no chance of survival!
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand…
Row after row of alliance soldiers was blasted away, the same scene occurring all across the battlefield. No one was able to last even a single round against the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation.
Everyone was stunned!
Their hearts thumped in fear!
No one had ever experienced a battle like this!
Even Ozmish Khagan and Yeon Gaesomun were thrown into disarray.
This was completely different from what they had expected.
“Ozmish, Yeon Gaesomun, since you’re here, don’t think about leaving!
“Amongst the countries, it’s only you few who have yet to fight with me! I’ve been waiting a long time for you!”
A chuckle came from the distance, and at this moment, Wang Chong rose up and began his attack.
Now that the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was fully manifested, he no longer needed to directly preside over it. Wang Chong was completely freed up.
Ozmish Khagan and Yeon Gaesomun wanted to encircle him? Ridiculous!
Wang Chong had wanted nothing more than an opportunity to deal with them. How could he let go of such a chance?
Boom!
Wang Chong soared into the sky like a giant eagle, flying toward Ozmish Khagan.
“Careful!”
Yeon Gaesomun grimaced, and with no time to think, he poured Stellar Energy into his warhorse, broke away from his army, and rushed toward Ozmish Khagan.
“Your Majesty!”
At the same time, the Eastern Turkic generals sensed an immense danger and cried out in alarm.
This was the Great Tang’s King of Foreign Lands, the supreme War Saint, the slayer of Arabia’s legendary Khatabah. No one dared to underestimate him.
“Take up formation!”
Ozmish Khagan also sensed this danger, that frightening killing intent making his blood go cold and his hair stand on end.
But at this time, he could no longer retreat.
“Divine Mamba Formation! Activate!”
Ozmish Khagan’s pupils constricted as he roared.
“Wang Chong, if you want a fight, this khagan will give you one!”
Ozmish Khagan’s body erupted with golden light, this terrifying and tyrannical golden power soaring into the skies and shaking the heavens.
Bang!
Ozmish Khagan swiftly manifested a golden saber that was more than one hundred feet long and immediately slashed at Wang Chong.
Roooar!
At almost the same time, the numerous Eastern Turkic generals jumped out of the army and joined Ozmish Khagan in rushing at Wang Chong.
Not only that, as they began their assault, innumerable streams of energy flowed out from the hundreds of thousands of surrounding Eastern Turkic soldiers, merging into a massive, golden snake with long horns, its vertical pupils exuding endless evil.
The Divine Mamba!
In the legends of the Eastern Turks, there existed a divine snake that had once destroyed the world and possessed immense power. This snake formed the essence of the Divine Mamba Formation, and this formation served as one of the strongest of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate.
When this formation was activated, it would merge together the strength of an army and focus it on a single person. But in all of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, only Ozmish Khagan could use it.
Kaclack!
Strengthened by the Divine Mamba Formation, Ozmish Khagan swelled with power, his joints and bones popping and cracking. His cultivation broke free of its restrictions and entered the Subtle realm, and then it rose from the basic tier of the Subtle realm all the way to the high tier.
And when the power of all the Eastern Turkic generals was added in, an immense energy that could not be underestimated was created.
“It’s useless!”
Wang Chong heartily laughed at this sight and punched.
Bang!
An energy that was extremely cold and sinister, infused with the boundless energy of ice and snow, erupted from Wang Chong’s body, crashing into Ozmish Khagan’s attack, the Divine Mamba Formation, and the Stellar Energies of the Eastern Turkic generals.
“Ah!”
Screams erupted as Ozmish Khagan and his generals were sent flying like ragdolls.
Wang Chong had completely overwhelmed them. None of them were able to take a single blow.
Upon impact, they felt like they had run into a mountain that had been cast from steel.
“Impossible! How could he be this powerful!?”
Sensing that intense pain coming from his body, Ozmish Khagan was deeply shaken.
This was his first clash with Wang Chong!
He knew that Wang Chong was very strong, so he had gone with his full strength, but he had never imagined that this genius of the Great Tang would be this powerful!
He had the power of the Divine Mamba and the strength of his generals, but he still couldn’t last even one clash against Wang Chong!
Ozmish Khagan’s mind was in disarray, but at this moment, another sensation of intense danger approached.
Wang Chong looked down from the air and coldly snorted. His fingers clenched together as he punched again.
Seize his moment of weakness to take his life!
Wang Chong would not give Ozmish Khagan any chances!
In killing him, he could deal a massive blow to the morale of the Eastern Turkic army.
Bang!
As Stellar Energy howled, the ground beneath Wang Chong’s feet suddenly parted like water. Eleven ghostly figures shot out with frightening speed, making not even a sound. With Wang Chong’s attention drawn to Ozmish Khagan, they lunged at him.
“Ksitigarbha’s Fury!”
Black silhouettes could be seen in this giant Buddha palm, and a moment later, sharp blades that were seven to eight feet long, gleaming with a bloody light, thrust at Wang Chong.
This had all happened too suddenly, and by the time Wang Chong had realized their existence, they were right in front of him.
Moreover, this Buddha Palm contained seventeen or eighteen different kinds of energy. These people had concealed themselves in the ground for a long time and waited for just the right moment to launch their assault.
“Six Saber Imperial God! Omen of the Supreme Crow!”
A roar erupted from behind Wang Chong. Though Goguryeo Emperor Yeon Gaesomun had been rather far away from the site of the battle, he had managed to arrive in time.
He lashed out with his five sabers, creating five torrents of Stellar Energy that joined together into an immense storm and attacked Wang Chong from the rear.

Yeon Gaesomun had chosen a perfect time to attack, seemingly in concert with the mysterious men attacking from under the ground.
Given how the two sides were working so well together, Yeon Gaesomun must have known about those men hiding underground.
Floating in the air, Wang Chong immediately understood what was going on, his eyes flashing.
Ozmish Khagan had led his Eastern Turkic generals in drawing his attention while Yeon Gaesomun joined the experts underground in attacking him from behind.
All of this had been clearly planned out.
But Wang Chong quickly got ahold of himself.
“Hmph, laughable!”
Wang Chong coldly snorted as he made his move.
“Origin Immortal Art!”
The air rippled as a resplendent pavilion appeared, its light engulfing Wang Chong like a rising sun.
Bang!
Streams of energy rushed in from all sides, striking Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven.
By this time, Wang Chong was completely concealed within the Trayastrimsa Heaven.
Buzz!
That majestic Stellar Energy struck Wang Chong, but it seemed to vanish into a bottomless pit. It flowed into the Trayastrimsa Heaven where it was absorbed and digested by the Origin Immortal Art.
Meanwhile, the ten-some bloody blades that had emerged from the Ksitigarbha Buddha Palm encountered the Trayastrimsa Heaven when they were still one hundred feet away from Wang Chong. They were all stopped cold, as if they had run into a steel wall.
Wang Chong had long ago cultivated his Origin Immortal Art to a masterful level. He had improved its strength to a new level, allowing him to swiftly absorb many attacks and make their energy his own.
“Not good!”
Sensing his attack vanishing like a clay doll into the ocean, one of the star-crowned, black-robed elders hiding within the Ksitigarbha Buddha Palm instantly felt an ill foreboding.
Wang Chong’s cultivation level was far too high, far higher than they had estimated.
Before this operation, they had simulated many scenarios, but they had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to singlehandedly absorb all their attacks.
What made their failure even more shocking was that they had even considered Wang Chong’s frightening power and thus utilized ten-some Stellar-piercing weapons of the Earth Sect.
These ten-some bloody blades concealed in the Ksitigarbha Buddha Palm were incredibly sharp and had slain numerous experts of the Central Plains and other countries, quite a few of whom had been specialists in condensing Stellar Energy into protective barriers. The blades’ power could make countless experts shiver in fear.
Not even masters who had cultivated Stellar Energy to the apex would be able to stop them.
But these precious treasures had been blocked by Wang Chong using purely his Stellar Energy.
Those ten-some blades hadn’t even been able to penetrate half an inch into his Stellar Energy.
“Withdraw!” The leading Earth Sect expert called out an order to retreat.
Wang Chong was far too powerful, even more powerful than when he had defeated Khatabah in the war of the northwest. This was someone that they simply couldn’t deal with.
“You want to leave? Can you?” A mocking voice came from above.
Just when that Earth Sect expert was prepared to use his Earth Movement technique to flee, Wang Chong thrust out a palm.
Bang!
There was no skill in this. Wang Chong had merey gathered the energy absorbed by the Origin Immortal Art, added some of his own, and unleashed it.
“Ah!”
The ten-some Eastern Turkic experts of the Earth Sect were sent flying like ragdolls.
In the face of Wang Chong’s destructive torrent of Stellar Energy, their resistance was insignificant. The gap between them was like that between heaven and earth.
Thudthudthud!
Seven or eight of the Earth Sect experts simply exploded on the spot.
Wang Chong had no intention of letting them survive this strike.
“Yeon Gaesomun, go and join them!”
Wang Chong had not forgotten about Yeon Gaesomun. His right palm thrust out and unleashed a destructive torrent of energy at Yeon Gaesomun as well.
Yeon Gaesomun’s pupils constricted, instantly smelling the stench of death at his nostrils.
But the savagery in his heart had also been provoked.
“Celestial God Six Imperial, strike!”
A thunderous roar resounded through the world.
Bang!
As Yeon Gaesomun called out, a black saber deep in the depths of the sky descended like a meteor toward Wang Chong.
Bang!
Three feet away from Wang Chong’s head, the Trayastrimsa Heaven appeared and instantly blocked that bizarre black saber.
Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven was like steel, and not even the Earth Sect’s Stellar-piercing weapons had been able to penetrate it. Yet Yeon Gaesomun’s saber had managed to penetrate half a foot into the Trayastrimsa Heaven—evidence of its incredible might!
But Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven Stellar Energy was far thicker than half a foot. Yeon Gaesomun’s saber had still failed to break Wang Chong’s defenses.
“Celestial God Six Imperial? So this was your sixth saber!”
Wang Chong looked up at the sixth saber and softly chuckled.
Yeon Gaesomun had a divine mastery of the saber. This was something that Wang Chong had heard about long ago.
But most mystical of all was Yeon Gaesomun’s sixth saber. Few had ever seen this sixth saber, and this was Wang Chong’s first time seeing it for himself.
It was powerful and peerlessly sharp, but alas, it was still no match for him.
Bang!
A moment later, Wang Chong waved his finger, and Yeon Gaesomun’s sixth saber was drawn by some invisible energy and joined a storm of Stellar Energy in howling at Yeon Gaesomun’s face.
This saber moved so quickly that it seemed to blink out of existence. When it next appeared, it was only a few inches from Yeon Gaesomun’s face.
Wang Chong was no master of the saber, but he did know how to use a sword. The Art of God and Demon Obliteration passed down by Su Zhengchen could only be superior, not inferior, to Yeon Gaesomun’s saber arts.
When using sword intent to control a saber, Wang Chong could exhibit a power even more frightening than Yeon Gaesomun’s.
“How could this be?”
Yeon Gaesomun’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to seize and use his sixth saber.
Yeon Gaesomun’s sixth saber was a demonic saber with a powerful will of its own—that of a vicious beast. Anyone who carelessly touched it would not only be unable to use this demonic saber, their mind would be invaded, and the demonic saber’s will would wipe out their consciousness and seize their body.
Besides him, there was no one in Goguryeo that could use this saber, not even King Bojang.
But after one clash, Wang Chong had taken control of the saber.
And when Wang Chong attacked, Yeon Gaesomun sensed that he was in grave peril.
Bang!
In a flash of light, Yeon Gaesomun was smashed into the ground by the saber and Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy, stirring up a massive cloud of dust.
In a few short moments, Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, and the Earth Sect experts had been vanquished. Not only had they failed to threaten Wang Chong, they had suffered horrendous losses from Wang Chong’s assault.
At that moment, Wang Chong seemed like a supreme god, the entire battlefield intimidated by his calm gaze.
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes were futile.
“Mm?”
Suddenly, Wang Chong raised an eyebrow as he looked down.
“Still not dead!”
<
br /> A look of surprise appeared on Wang Chong’s face.
According to Wang Chong’s calculations, his palm should have had enough strength to kill all the Earth Sect experts, but while eight or nine of the ten-some experts had died, the rest, including that Earth Sect elder wearing the star crown, had managed to escape from Wang Chong’s attack. Though their organs had been badly hurt, they were still alive.
The men in black again!
Wang Chong looked around and immediately spotted a black metal sphere in the hands of that Earth Sect Elder.
This metal fretwork sphere was rapidly spinning, spewing out clouds of mist. One could see a metallic core within the sphere that crackled with blue lightning.
Wang Chong could also sense a familiar energy in this metal sphere: the ripples of the Stellar Energy he had just unleashed.
A portion of the Stellar Energy he had released had probably been absorbed and resisted by that metal sphere.
Wang Chong was no stranger to this situation. In the feast of all countries, An Lushan had used a similar ritual tool to block his attacks.
It wasn’t very likely that the Earth Sect had a direct connection to the men in black. It was clear that An Lushan had given them this ritual tool.
If even the Earth Sect martial artists had ritual tools from the men in black, then there was no doubt that Yeon Gaesomun…
Wang Chong turned his head, and, as expected, as the dust and snow settled down, a stalwart figure coughed and stood back up, the sabers on his body clearly identifying the man.
Blood was trickling from the corner of his lip, his eyes were somewhat dim, and his armor was in tatters. This Emperor of Goguryeo was clearly badly wounded, but it was equally clear that he had survived.
Wang Chong scanned his body and found another metal fretwork sphere, spewing black smoke as it rapidly turned.
It was obvious that his attack had also been blocked by this metal sphere.

The Earth Sect expert and Yeon Gaesomun were both carrying ritual tools from the men in black. Thus, there was little doubt that Ozmish Khagan had one as well!
