The Human Emperor

Bang!

In a white flash, the silver spear slammed into the earth, obliterating a fake mountain and the garden, pond, and pavilion around it. Great plumes of dust rose into the air as testament to its power.

But Wang Chong’s determined strike had still missed.

Bang!

At almost the same time, a palm lightly pressed against Wang Chong’s chest, upon which an energy howled into his body. Wang Chong was knocked out of the air and smashed into the ground a hundred-some feet from his original position.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In a series of explosions and great plumes of dust rising several dozen meters into the air, the carved decorations of the King of Foreign Lands Residence were practically all obliterated.

Fwoosh!

When the dust scattered, Wang Chong opened his mouth, his chest trembling, and vomited black blood.

“You’ve been struck by eleven of my Southern Dipper Star Awls. Your strength has already dropped to less than seventy percent. Killing you now is as easy for me as flipping over my palm!”

Nearby, the Tianfu Divine Lord slowly ambled through the air, his robes drifting around him. He looked down on Wang Chong like he was looking at a dead man. Throughout this entire battle, everything had been under his control, everything entirely to his tempo.

“Is that so?”

Wang Chong raised his head and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, his Stellar Energy stirring. Just as he was about to attack again, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes chilled and he attacked again.

Bang!

This attack was even fiercer, and before Wang Chong had time to react, a palm had struck his left shoulder and sent him flying into the air. This time, he flew even farther, slamming into the base of a wall.

“You’re simply no match for me. The greater your resistance, the worse your pain and suffering. Why put yourself through all the trouble?”

The Tianfu Divine Lord reappeared, lightly patting his hands. His right leg stepped forward and settled onto the ground, while his expression seemed calm and relaxed.

“Hmph, is that true? Then come and get me!”

Wang Chong’s hair was disheveled as he half-kneeled on the ground. Even though he couldn’t touch even a corner of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s robe, even though he was being played around with like a toy, his gaze remained cold and brimming with fighting intent, devoid of fear.

The Tianfu Divine Lord was clearly startled by this sight, but he was in no rush to attack. Despite Wang Chong’s cold smile, his organs were shaken, and the Star Awls in his body and the Tianfu Divine Lord’s two palms had badly injured him.

But Subtle realm experts had extremely sturdy foundations, far above those of Saint Martial experts. Moreover, as this battle had dragged on, Wang Chong had changed his plan and begun to build up strength in his body for the right moment. If the Tianfu Divine Lord revealed the smallest weakness, he would immediately launch a fierce counterattack.

This move has clearly had some effect. The Tianfu Divine Lord naturally had a high enough cultivation level to sense the energy building up in Wang Chong’s body. Thus, even though he had the absolute advantage, he had not unleashed the true killing blow and pushed Wang Chong over the edge.

“You won’t get the chance.”

A few moments later, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s brow relaxed and he regained his composure.

“Do you know why I chose tonight to strike? It’s not merely because the nights are quieter, making it easier to strike. And really, there’s no harm in telling you…”

The Tianfu Divine Lord smiled as he raised his right hand and pointed a finger straight up.

Whoosh!

Dark clouds had originally covered the skies of the estate, but as the Tianfu Divine Lord extended his finger, a fierce gale stirred up. The dark clouds immediately scattered like the receding tide.

Wang Chong almost instinctively looked up at the sky. At first glance, Wang Chong didn’t see anything in the darkness, but as if in response to the Tianfu Divine Lord’s finger, gleaming lights began to emerge. One, two, three, four… six dazzling stars began to resonate with the Tianfu Divine Lord, shining right over his head.

The Six Stars of the Southern Dipper!

Wang Chong’s pupils constricted as he understood.

“Tonight, the Southern Dipper is right overhead, and this is also the night when the Tianfu Star is in charge. In front of me, you don’t have the slightest hope!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord looked in amusement at the distant Wang Chong.

“Enough! Telling you so much is already an extraordinary favor. It’s time for this operation to end. You’ve been struck by eleven of my Southern Dipper Star Awls, and you don’t have the Origin Immortal Sword. No matter how much energy you’ve built up for a counterattack, in your condition, you can take two more of my palms at most before your Subtle realm foundation is shattered and you fall to the Saint Martial realm.

“At that moment, merely these Stellar Envoys serving this god will be enough to kill you.”

A callous light flashed in the Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes.

Boom!

The Tianfu Divine Lord vanished in a flash of light, and then appeared to the left and back of Wang Chong, his palm striking once more.

The immense might of this palm, infused with extreme Yin energy, heavily injured Wang Chong as it sent him flying.

In a heaven-shaking explosion, Wang Chong struck the ground, sending dust soaring several dozen meters into the air.

“Too fast!”

Even though he knew that he was going to be attacked, he still couldn’t stop it.

Wang Chong half-kneeled on the ground, trying his best to suppress his injuries. Despite this, he felt a sweetness on his tongue, and a violet-black trickle of blood managed to escape his lips.

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s palms were extremely vicious. Each strike seemed capable of shattering his organs, and at the same time, his connection to the higher dimension was weakened.

If this goes on, I’m really going to die to him! Wang Chong admitted to himself.

He had been trying to find the Tianfu Divine Lord’s weakness this entire time, but the hopes were slim. He would probably break before that time.

“The last palm!”

In a gust of wind, the Tianfu Divine Lord reemerged.

His eyes had turned into cold and dangerous beads of ice.

Bang!

Moments after speaking, the Tianfu Divine Lord attacked again, but this time, he did not use any unfathomable art and just thrust his palm at Wang Chong.

Wang Chong was ready, and the moment the Tianfu Divine Lord vanished, he lunged forward and unleashed a flood of energy.

The blazing flames of golden Subtle realm energy illuminated the night sky as brightly as day, but Wang Chong had underestimated the power of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm.

“Ah!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm struck his chest almost immediately, and Wang Chong screamed as he was sent hurtling through the air.

At the moment the palm struck, Wang Chong felt as if there was a flood of sharp blades in the Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm, all of them surging into his body.

The Stellar Energy of a Subtle realm expert was far sturdier than that of other experts, but the consecutive palms of the Tianfu Divine Lord had succeeded in scattering apart the energy Wang Chong had been storing up, obliterating his final card before hurtling straight for his dantian and mind.

As his back hit the ground, Wang Chong’s heart sank. The gap in strength was simply too great. After stubbornly resisting for so long, he had only staved off the inevitable defeat.

“Hmph, as I said, with these palm strikes of mine, you’ll lose any ability to resist. Your meridians are heavily injured and your Stellar Energy scattered, your martial foundation in disarray. You no longer have the right to resist this god!”

In the howling winds, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s robe rustled as he reemerged in the air. He lightly descended to the ground and began to slowly walk over to Wang Chong.

His cold and domineering eyes were brimming with killing intent.

To the lofty gods, everything in the world, including the peerless martial arts, were insignificant ants. They only needed to desire it, and all these so-called experts would die like tiny ants.

There had never been any mortal faction, not even dynasties or countries, that could resist them. Mortals could not resist gods. But then Wang Chong, the Child of Destruction, had appeared.

His death had been ordered ever since the southwest!

But in the course of the several operations, not only had Wang Chong not been killed, he had only grown stronger and stronger, even managing to kill a few gods in the northwest. In the end, the High God of the Tianfu Star had been compelled to personally take care of this walking calamity.

Such a thing had never happened before and was scarcely imaginable.

But now, it no longer mattered how much trouble Wang Chong had stirred in the past or what great risks he had forced them to take.

In front of the High Gods, the Child of Destruction was still just an ant, still unable to save itself from the fate of death.

“Now, accept your fate! Once you’re dead, everyone who knows of our existence will be destroyed. Everything regarding us will be concealed just like it was in the past!”

A gale howled above the residence. The Tianfu Divine Lord coldly chuckled as he stopped in front of Wang Chong and pressed his palm down with deceptive speed.

Black smoke seethed off those white and slender fingers. This was Asura Stellar Energy, one of the most corrosive energies in the world. With this strike, Wang Chong’s body would crumble to dust and leave behind not even a single trace.

Buzz!

As Wang Chong stared at the descending palm, his eyes turned dim. The Tianfu Divine Lord’s previous palm strikes hadn’t merely sealed his Stellar Energy, they had also sealed all his acupuncture points.

Wang Chong couldn’t even move, and he was merely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by the Tianfu Divine Lord.
