The Human Emperor c1-2382

by Huangfu Qi (皇甫奇)

  Moreover, while their souls were somewhat blemished, they were more complete than the others. Not even the Psychic Storm would be very effective against them.

  “Hmph, truly seeking death.”

  Wang Chong almost instantly got ahold of himself, his expression chilling and his eyes gleaming like sharp blades.

  These six half-step Grotto Heaven realm experts truly were powerful, much more threatening than the other men in black, but he was someone who had personally killed Genesis Supreme. How could he be worried about half-step Grotto Heaven realm experts?

  Buzz!

  Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy trembled as Halos of Spacetime began to spread out.

  Just as Wang Chong was preparing to attack, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief stepped forward and stopped him. “Wait! Chong-er, let us deal with these people.

  “The Celestial God Organization is keenly aware of your strength, and what they hope is for you to attack so as to consume your energy.

  “In clashes between experts, every second is vital, and the slightest mistake could result in death.

  “Until you arrive at the dimensional teleportation gate, you cannot excessively waste your strength,” the Demonic Emperor Old Man sternly said.

  The guards of the teleportation gate were most likely Supremes, and there was likely to be more than one. Before he faced them, Wang Chong had to be at his best condition.

  The fate of the entire world rested on Wang Chong’s shoulders.

  This was why all the others, including Ozmish Khagan and Yeon Gaesomun, had volunteered to stay back.

  Wang Chong was quiet for a few moments and then finally nodded.

  He was well aware of how strong the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief were. Though their opponents were extremely strong, they would still find it hard to threaten their lives.

  So long as he could quickly deal with his opponents and destroy the teleportation gate, there would still be time.

  “Stop them!”

  In the middle of this conversation, the six half-step Grotto Heaven realm experts shot forward.

  They were all people who had died a long time ago, and it was only due to Heaven’s generosity that they were allowed to live on in this dimension.

  This dimension imbued them with incredible strength, allowing them to return to this dimension no matter how severe were the injuries they sustained.

  And the mission Heaven had given them was to guard this dimension and fend off invaders at any cost.

  “Demon God’s Fury!”

  “Shadow Demon’s Blood!”

  “Spacetime Sunder!”

  A flood of attacks swept toward the trio.

  “Do you think you have the right to misbehave in front of this old man? Get over here!”

  The Demonic Emperor Old Man’s eyes chilled as he extended a palm. Black and red Stellar Energies erupted from his palm like a blooming lotus flower, upon which his body began to exert an immense pull.

  “Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!”

  As the legendary supreme figure of the evil path, though the Demonic Emperor Old Man was half a step from the Grotto Heaven realm and had reached a far higher level of cultivation than his past self, he had made his name on the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

  And while this was the same technique, it seemed like a totally new one in the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s hands, unleashing a greater and far more terrifying power.

  With a mountain-sundering rumble, the surrounding air began to howl like the laments of a million ghosts.

  The terrifying Stellar Energies unleashed by the six half-step Grotto Heaven experts and even their bodies were all pulled toward the Demonic Emperor Old Man.

  “How could this be?”

  The six experts instantly paled.

  They could sense that the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s cultivation was on par with theirs, yet the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s thin and frail body was somehow able to unleash such a frightening attack.

  “Yang Ren God Art!”

  At almost the same time, the Wushang Village Chief joined the Demonic Emperor Old Man with his own attack.

  His left hand opened into a palm while his right hand clenched into a fist. At that moment, tens of thousands of dragons roared, and one divine white dragon after another, each brimming with destructive power, lunged at the six men in black.

  Whether it was the Demonic Emperor Old Man or the Wushang Village Chief, both were supreme experts of their age endowed with abundant battle experience. In terms of teamwork and cooperation, they far exceeded their foes from the Celestial God Organization.

  Their combined attack produced a thunderous momentum that drowned out the six experts of the Celestial God Organization.

  Even though there were six of them, they were pushed onto the defensive by the dual attack.

  Seeing this, Wang Chong knew that the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief would be able to hold these men in black for some time, and instantly relaxed.

  Boom! A dark golden Halo of Spacetime emerged from his body, and a moment later, Wang Chong ran past the group and disappeared.

  This dimension was engulfed by a snowstorm that made it impossible to see where the entrance was. Wang Chong’s eyes flashed as he activated the True World ability.

  Buzz!

  A moment later, Wang Chong vanished like a ghost into the depths of the dimension.

  On the path leading to the source of the cold wave, the Celestial God Organization had built an invisible maze made of spacetime barriers.

  No one except Grotto Heaven experts would be able to penetrate it.

  Moreover, the teleportation gate only required a few Supremes to maintain.

  From the moment it had been built, it had never been intended for anyone except Supremes to enter the cold wave source.

  The maze the Celestial God Organization had built was extremely complicated, consisting of tens of thousands of overlapping dimensions. In normal circumstances, it would be difficult to get inside it, let alone force one’s way through it.

  But this was no problem for Wang Chong. That raging energy of the cold wave served as his most obvious clue through the maze.

  Wang Chong moved like a bolt of lightning through the numerous dimensions, swiftly passing through the maze, and soon, a new vista opened up before him.

  Rumble!

  Even before he had opened his eyes, Wang Chong could hear a thunderous boom as if the Milky Way was pouring down from the heavens.

  At the same time, Wang Chong felt that strange world he remembered from his last life, that world of cold, dark, and destructive energy.

  Buzz!

  Opening his eyes, Wang Chong immediately saw the goal of this expedition.

  It was an enormous teleportation gate, one thousand feet tall and seemingly made of ice and snow. It was a majestic sight, the entire edifice radiating a cold and brilliant light.

  Torrents of spacetime energy and freezing energy surged out from it like raging rivers.

  This was a power from another world!

  Compared to this enormous power, even a Grotto Heaven realm expert like Wang Chong was puny and insignificant.

  A dimensional teleportation gate!

  This was the source of the disaster that had swept over the world. It was that majestic energy erupting from the teleportation gate that had created this Great Ice Age.

  Wang Chong’s eyes twitched, a complicated mixture of emotions appearing within them.

  This wasn’t Wang Chong’s first time experiencing the Great Ice Age, but it was the first time he was seeing the origin of this disaster.

  To see for oneself was completely different from speculation.

  “I’ve finally arrived!”

  Wang Chong looked up at the enormous teleportation gate, his eyes flashing.

  So long as he could destroy this dimensional teleportation gate, everything would be over.

  His expression grav
e, he rose from the ground and toward the majestic gate.

  As Wang Chong flew toward the teleportation gate, two familiar voices rang out in his ears.

  “Child of Destruction, we have been waiting. This place will be your burial ground!”

  Boom! An enormous ripple swept past, and a moment later, a black silhouette rapidly expanded as it descended from the heavens and landed in front of Wang Chong.

  A hundred-meter-tall black idol had appeared between Wang Chong and the dimensional teleportation gate.

  This black idol was made of some unknown metal. It wore a thick suit of armor that burned with black flames, making it seem like it had walked out of the depths of hell.

  Most shocking of all was the pitch-black sword it gripped, several dozen meters long.

  The sword was incredibly heavy, and its tip was thrust into the earth, the blade barring Wang Chong’s path.

  Whoosh!

  The moment the giant idol appeared, a powerful air current formed around it, turning into an enormous vortex that was thick with smoke and flame, making this giant idol appear even more vicious and frightening.

  The eyelids of the giant idol trembled and then opened, revealing golden eyes. Instantly, a hurricane of callous and destructive energy erupted from the giant idol’s body.

  The dimension trembled as if tens of thousands of mountains were crashing into the ground.

  Not only that, Wang Chong could sense the energy of a Supreme of the Celestial God Organization within the giant idol’s body.

  Wang Chong looked at the giant idol and calmly said, “What should I call the two of you? Just like Genesis Supreme, you should both be Supremes, yes? Is this your final trick?”

  He slowly rose into the air, locking his enormous Psychic Energy onto the giant idol.

  That cold and indifferent voice resounded in his ears. “You may call us Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme. But this is not important. What is important is that this is where your journey ends. You will not get another chance!”

  The giant idol’s mouth opened and closed as if it was a human mouth, a booming voice coming from it.

  “Someone so cowardly that they don’t even dare to show themselves? Is that all the Celestial God Organization is capable of?” Wang Chong jeered.

  “Heh, if you can defeat this giant idol, you will naturally be able to see us. Alas, I fear that this is where you will lose your life,” a voice said, unperturbed.

  “I forgot to tell you. This entire dimension has been sealed. Entering is easy while leaving is difficult. In addition, this giant idol was not designed by us. This is a Dimensional Guardian left behind by Heaven.”

  “This Dimensional Guardian has been bestowed with innate talents and is able to harness the energy of this entire dimension, including the energy of the cold wave. It is stronger than Genesis Supreme and the two of us.

  “We can talk if you can survive.”

  The other voice spoke in a calm and composed tone, seemingly already regarding Wang Chong as a dead man.

  Wang Chong raised an eyebrow.

  He could tell that there was something strange about this giant idol, but he hadn’t expected it to have been left by Heaven.

  Anything involving Heaven couldn’t be simple.

  Moreover, those two Supremes of the Celestial God Organization were claiming that this enormous idol was even more powerful than Genesis Supreme. While this was hard to believe, if they were so certain that he couldn’t escape, then they had no reason to lie about something like this.

  The two of them seemed to lose their patience, and the giant idol began to transform.

  Buzz!

  A golden-red Halo of Spacetime erupted from the back of the giant idol’s head.

  This Halo of Spacetime was different from any other Halo of Spacetime he had seen. Not only could it control spacetime, it also imbued the black idol with powerful abilities.

  This made Wang Chong think about the halo divine tool he had obtained from Genesis Supreme.

  But compared to the halo divine tool, the golden-red Halo of Spacetime was able to harness even more Stellar Energy.

  After all, behind it was an enormous dimensional teleportation gate that could alter the lives of the millions of inhabitants of the continent and the world of the otherworldly invaders.

  The energy that these two commanded was far vaster than any martial artist could imagine.

  Rumble! The world darkened as black smoke roiled. Clack! The giant idol pulled its sword from the ground.

  At the same time, majestic energy erupted from the golden-red Halo of Spacetime and surged into the black idol, permeating every inch of its body.

  That idol’s enormous body already possessed prodigious strength, and with this additional bestowal of power, its body grew even larger, groaning and cracking.

  Purely in terms of strength, the black idol had surpassed the peak of the Grotto Heaven realm and reached an even higher realm.

  More importantly, Heaven had done something to this idol that made every one of its movements cause it to pulse with spacetime energy.

  Rumble!

  The air howled as the giant idol swung its sword at Wang Chong.

  This swing was not particularly aimed at Wang Chong, but the sword sliced through the fabric of space wherever it went, leaving dark spatial fissures. Moreover, the sword exerted its own pull as it swung.

  With a single swing, time and space collapsed, and everything in this collapsing space was drawn toward the sword as if offering itself to its blade.

  A spatial lock!

  Wang Chong’s eyes focused as a thought occurred to him.

  Everything came with disadvantages. Wang Chong was like an ant in front of this black idol, so he should have been able to rely on his agility to dodge its attacks, but this giant idol was equipped with spatial lock and spatial collapsing abilities. These abilities would render any attempt to dodge the giant idol’s attacks futile.

  Moreover, the idol’s movements were infused with the laws of the world, allowing it to harness the vast amounts of Origin Energy, spiritual energy, cold energy, and Stellar Energy in the world. All this and its immense strength that surpassed the Grotto Heaven realm made it a major threat to Wang Chong.

  The two hidden Supremes were right. This giant idol was far stronger than Genesis Supreme, the strongest guardian Wang Chong had ever seen.

  Buzz!

  The surrounding space seemed to solidify, becoming like streams of water dragged along by that black sword as it swung at Wang Chong. He focused, putting away all his disregard and devoting his full attention to dealing with this attack.

  Clang!

  His halos resonated and boomed, and a dark golden Halo of Spacetime erupted from his body, freezing the space for several feet around him and resisting the pull from the giant idol.

  At the same time, Wang Chong summoned the halo divine tool he had obtained from Genesis Supreme. Wang Chong also used the golden halberd he had taken from Firmament Supreme, a small silhouette shooting out from the halo.

  Bang!

  The golden halberd instantly shot out and collided on the distant form of the idol.

  This attack contained ninety percent of Wang Chong’s power. The almost unstoppable nature of the golden halberd combined with Wang Chong’s immense strength was enough to obliterate mountains, let alone an idol.

  Wang Chong had even infused the golden short halberd with spacetime energy.

  But the final result was completely different from what he had imagined.

  Bang!

  The golden halberd slammed into the giant idol. There was a metallic boom as the enormous idol trembled from the impact. Not even the idol could remain completely unmoved when impacted with Wang Chong’s power.

  But it merely trembled on
ce. The black idol quickly stabilized and returned to normal.

  Ninety percent of Wang Chong’s power had only made the giant idol sway a tiny bit. No obvious wound had been dealt to its body, let alone a serious wound.

  “How could this be!?”

  Wang Chong couldn’t help but be astonished by this.

  He knew how powerful that attack had been, and this was exactly why he was so shocked.

  This giant idol was far more frightening than he had imagined.

  The voice of Grand Supreme came from within the idol. “Don’t waste your effort. This giant idol was forged from Eon Metal that Heaven obtained from beyond the universe, and within are carved one hundred and twenty eight thousand, four hundred defensive formations of various sizes. Even Supremes working together can barely shake it, let alone someone like you.”

  Radiance Supreme’s voice also rang out. “All struggles are futile. Give up on your resistance and submit, and perhaps we can save you from a little pain.

  “Moreover, this is far from the only thing Heaven left here…”

  Boom!

  As the two of them spoke, it appeared as if Wang Chong’s attack had triggered something. The golden and callous eyes of the giant idol suddenly flashed with an eerie light.

  A circular spacetime barrier of enormous size erupted from the black idol’s body, swiftly followed by another.

  A third, a fourth, a fifth… Spacetime barriers appeared from various positions on the giant idol’s body, and they appeared with greater and greater frequency. In just a few seconds, the number of spacetime barriers had reached one thousand and was still rising.

  This enormous number of barriers formed a tight defensive perimeter around the giant idol.

  Moreover, once this was done, there was another boom, and an enormous, domed spacetime barrier enclosed the idol.

  Wang Chong’s heart instantly sank.

  He could clearly sense that these spacetime barriers had raised the black idol’s defenses by several levels. Even at the Grotto Heaven realm, Wang Chong would need to go to great lengths to overcome these defenses.
