The Human Emperor

“It’s you guys!”

Wang Chong noticed the arrival of Zhao Fengchen and the others.

Seeing how badly they were wounded, Wang Chong felt his heart thump. He then glanced at Li Xuantu in the air, and his eyes flashed in understanding.

Looking up at the intense battle in the sky, Wang Chong sternly said, “Don’t rush. His Majesty’s life isn’t in danger. I have a plan!”

He began to pensively look at Li Xuantu.

The battle in the sky was extremely intense, two storms of Stellar Energy revolving and howling as they clashed and separated again and again. At times, their spacetime energies intersected together into a massive and terrifying two-colored storm.

Shattered tiles, bricks, jade steps, weapons, and pieces of armor were swept up by the storm and then sent raining down over the area.

“Ah!”

The falling debris was accelerated to frightening speeds by the storms, becoming as sharp as swords. They plunged deep into the ground and exploded, shattering even the tough palace bricks, and cries of alarm rang out from all sides.

The surrounding Imperial Army soldiers had already retreated very far, but upon seeing this, they fearfully retreated even farther.

The same was true for the imperial prison escapees.

But Wang Chong had no time for such things.

His attention was entirely on the pair in the center of the battlefield.

Wang Chong discovered that even he was being affected by this fierce battle. He was unable to clearly see the two of them, let alone find the right opportunity to intervene.

At their level of cultivation, even Subtle realm experts found it hard to keep up.

Buzz!

A moment later, Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, and he entered the world of energy.

This isn’t enough! Their law energy is so strong that it’s even starting to affect the world of energy! Wang Chong said to himself.

Looking through the world of energy should have revealed the true face of the world’s myriad energies, seeing how they flowed and their strength. But even though Wang Chong was now looking through the world of energy, he could only see dark and gloomy energy, everything covered in a veil. And his vision was still blurry, some invisible energy preventing him from seeing the truth.

This was the power of Grotto Heaven laws!

When it came to space, not even the world of energy could see the truth.

Whoosh!

Wang Chong opened and closed his eyes, and with a bright flash, he activated another eye ability.

True World!

Finally, after the True World ability was used, the thin veil was lifted, and countless thin slivers of energy, all of them in complete chaos, appeared before Wang Chong’s eyes.

These thin strands radiated out from the two experts, so numerous that they seemed to engulf the entire world.

The world of laws!

Wang Chong’s heart trembled as he realized what was going on.

Those chaotic lines were really the law energies that were omnipresent in the world.

He recalled that he had never been able to see such a thing when fighting the Tianfu Divine Lord, but now, when he opened his eyes, he could see the laws.

It must be the work of Firmament Supreme’s law energy! Wang Chong realized what was going on.

That he could now see this bizarre world was entirely because of Firmament Supreme’s Grotto Heaven law in his body. When it fused with his True World ability, it produced this ‘Eye of Laws’.

Buzz!

Slowly, information on various laws began to drift into Wang Chong’s mind like snowflakes.

As these ‘snowflakes’ accumulated in his mind, Wang Chong began to comprehend more and more about the laws of the world.

What a pity! This is probably the basic ‘Eye of Laws’. It’s not very strong, or else I would be able to receive information much more quickly, Wang Chong said to himself.

He quickly turned his gaze upward.

He had not forgotten that his goal in using the ‘Eye of Laws’ was not to comprehend the laws of the world, but to observe the battle between the pair so that he could find the right time to save Li Heng.

“Hmph!”

As Wang Chong looked up, Genesis Supreme sensed his gaze and coldly snorted. He flicked a finger, upon which an invisible energy erupted from his body, turning into a formless mist that obscured his body.

Li Xuantu also seemed to sense something, his brow slightly creasing. The laws around him distorted, transforming into an invisible barrier that blocked Wang Chong’s gaze.

These fellows are too strong! They can even sense my gaze!

Wang Chong’s heart trembled.

But Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme were apex experts, and no one at this level liked being spied on. Not only that, Wang Chong sensed something very familiar about the fog surrounding Genesis Supreme.

An Yaluoshan!

During the feast of all countries, An Yaluoshan was able to block the senses of my True World. I thought that this was the doing of some ritual tool, but now, it seems that it was the work of Genesis Supreme!

Wang Chong’s mind was whirring.

In the sky, as Genesis Supreme and Li Xuantu used their law energies, the world in Wang Chong’s vision dimmed, and if this continued, he would not be able to intervene in their battle.

However, a moment later, he felt a strange sensation.

It’s the three divine embryos! Wang Chong immediately found the source of this oddity.

Not far from Wang Chong, the three divine embryos had been influenced by Wang Chong into also looking at the sky. But unlike Wang Chong, their vision was unaffected, and they were clearly seeing something else.

Wang Chong sensed what they were seeing and smiled. Without the slightest hesitation, he accessed the vision of his three divine embryos.

Buzz!

A moment later, Wang Chong could now see what the three divine embryos were seeing.

The vision of the three divine embryos was extremely similar to the Eye of Laws, though it was from three different angles. And unlike Wang Chong’s original body, the three divine embryos were not impeded by laws or any fog.

Genesis Supreme and Li Xuantu were unable to stop their vision.

And the three divine embryos could see the law energy filling the world much more clearly than Wang Chong.

Divine Embryo Eyes!

Wang Chong was delighted.

Divine embryos were manifestations of the laws of the world, nurtured over many years. They were instinctively very sensitive to law energy.

But Wang Chong had tested their abilities before, and they had not been this impressive.

After a brief moment of thought, Wang Chong understood.

Firmament Supreme’s Grotto Heaven law stimulated their abilities!

Grotto Heaven laws touched upon spacetime, which stood at the apex of all law energies.

Just like with his True World ability, the divine embryos had evolved after interacting with this powerful law, their potential stimulated.

Not even Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme could stop them.

This was because the three divine embryos were created through accumulated law energy, were essentially a part of the laws.

After observing the battle for only a few moments, Wang Chong felt a waterfall of information rushing into his mind, and his understanding of Grotto Heaven laws grew more and more.

The Grotto Heaven realm involved the laws of spacetime and was vast and complex, far more than any mortal could comprehend. Even a genius like Li Xuantu who had broken through several decades ago was still comprehending the Power of Spacetime and completing his Grotto Heaven Core.

Though Wang Chong had yet to advance to the Grotto Heaven realm, this vast amount of information was still of great aid to him.

At the minimum, it would mean that he would encounter much less resistance when he did make his attempt at the Grotto Heaven realm.

Boomboomboom!

One frightening explosion after another rocked the earth.

Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme were both pushing their Grotto Heaven energy to its limits, storms of black and white engulfing the area of their battle.

Wang Chong stood nearby while using his Origin Immortal Barrier, standing like a rock against the beating waves, his eyes focused on the sky.

In just a few moments, Wang Chong had reaped a significant harvest, his understanding of the Grotto Heaven realm’s spacetime law advancing by leaps and bounds.

It was as if two Grotto Heaven realm teachers were displaying all their techniques before him as a method of instruction. With the three divine embryos granting Wang Chong three different perspectives, Wang Chong was able to get an extremely comprehensive look.

No other martial artist could achieve this sort of feat.

And as Wang Chong’s understanding of the spacetime law increased, the Grotto Heaven laws within Wang Chong and the three divine embryos began to accumulate and approach completion.

Genesis Supreme is stronger than Li Xuantu, but Li Xuantu is too proud. Even if Genesis Supreme is suppressing him, he will never back down, nor will he admit defeat!

Wang Chong slightly frowned.

From his perspective, he could see that Li Xuantu was accumulating wounds from Genesis Supreme’s attacks, and even his organs had been injured. But he continued to stand tall in the air, battling against Genesis Supreme with all his might. If this continued, Li Xuantu would be so heavily injured that he wouldn’t be able to stand anymore.

Even worse was that if Li Xuantu were defeated, Wang Chong would be like a single block of wood trying to hold up a falling gate, and in the end, he would be defeated by Genesis Supreme too.

Suddenly—

Bang!

As two different Halos of Spacetime clashed, tearing open a black fissure in front of Taiji Palace like the fabric of space was made of paper, and Wang Chong frantically tried to think of a plan, a familiar voice whispered into Wang Chong’s ear.

“Wang Chong, can you hear me?”
