The Human Emperor

Chapter 2276: One-Hit Kill!

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.

This was the difference between ritual tools and martial artists!

The idol’s enormous body allowed it to contain numerous defensive formations and spacetime barriers—something that martial artists could never accomplish.

This place was the critical origin of the Purification plan, and the lives of millions of inhabitants of the continent were involved. Heaven had clearly been very meticulous in his plans, and this idol was its important guardian and symbol.

Heaven was someone who used ‘epochs’ and ‘civilizations’ as units of measurement, and he had plenty of time available to him. Creating such a thing was clearly no simple matter, far beyond the imagination of ordinary martial artists.

But the idol continued to move, not giving Wang Chong any time to be astonished.

Rumble! The deafening clanking of gears came from within the giant idol, and then two thick arms emerged from its back, each wielding a heavy sword.

At the same time, the back of the idol’s head began to morph, swiftly forming into a majestic and divine face.

In the blink of an eye, the giant idol had turned into a two-faced, four-armed ‘demon god’!

Boom!

Three black swords were raised at once, and they swept down simultaneously in a clean and simple fashion, blurring in the air as they approached Wang Chong.

Spacetime lock!

Spacetime collapse!

The two powerful spacetime energies spread out through the air, and this time, there was another energy with them…

Spacetime destruction!

Within this giant idol was a black ring that was made of the shards of tens of thousands of dimensions. The energy it unleashed rapidly spread through the area along with the powers of spacetime lock and spacetime collapse.

These three energies were all high-level spacetime energies, and these three energies worked together with three halos to create a three-dimensional method of attacking.

With one strike, the giant idol could heavily injure a Grotto Heaven realm expert.

This attack was so powerful that using it against Grotto Heaven realm experts was almost excessive. Wang Chong felt as if this idol had originally been meant to be used against the Sage Emperor.

But instead, he was the one to deal with it.

With the emergence of those three frightening Halos of Spacetime, Wang Chong’s situation rapidly grew dire.

The slightest mistake would end with his body pulverized.

In terms of strength, the giant idol was far above the Grotto Heaven realm.

The idol’s attack drew closer and closer, and Wang Chong had little time left. Worsening the situation further, this entire space had been sealed by the energy Heaven had left, leaving him no place to run. Moreover, the giant idol’s attack encompassed the entirety of this space.

Buzz!

Just as the three swords were about to make impact, Wang Chong’s eyes flashed. Bzz! The halo divine tool behind his head trembled and then expanded to several dozen times its original size. It transformed into an enormous defensive barrier, bursting with blinding light as it stood in front of Wang Chong.

This halo divine tool had one of the strongest defenses, and in Genesis Supreme’s hands, it had been nearly unbreakable. At this time, it was the best way to defend against the giant idol’s attack.

“It’s useless! The idol contains energy left by Heaven. This halo divine tool cannot hope to stop it!” Grand Supreme’s voice rang out, tinged with pity. In his eyes, Wang Chong’s actions were a futile struggle.

“Your fate is sealed. Goodbye, Child of Destruction!” Radiance Supreme’s voice also rang out.

Heaven’s will was the highest of all. Even if Wang Chong had overcome Genesis Supreme and defeated the alliance, even made the alliance countries subordinates of the Great Tang, what did it matter?

Ants were ants!

A war between ants, no matter how gruesome or intense, was simply a game to the gods, an ephemeral and irrelevant game.

Just like with those past civilizations and epochs, everything would replay itself again. No one could oppose Heaven’s will.

Boomboomboom!

As Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme indifferently spoke, the three black swords sundered the heavens and crashed into Wang Chong’s radiant halo.

Space collapsed, extinguishing countless dimensions with it.

Even more frightening was that this attack was far stronger than Genesis Supreme’s.

“He’s dead. No one can block this attack. The idol is invincible. He can never win!” Deep within the void, two furtive consciousnesses communicated with each other.

Rumble!

Under the immense pressure, that seemingly invincible halo divine tool began to gradually cave inward.

If one looked carefully, one could even see a few faint cracks on the halo. Soft snapping sounds entered Wang Chong’s ear.

If this continued, the halo divine tool would crumble, and Wang Chong would die with it.

This was the supreme guardian of the cold wave’s source, and the fact that it was able to force Wang Chong into dire straits with one attack was proof enough of its power.

As the situation grew more perilous, and it seemed like Wang Chong was about to die…

Bang!

The enormous divine halo disappeared, and Wang Chong himself transformed into a small, dark golden halo that flew through the air.

Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme had never expected this. Through some inconceivable method, Wang Chong had managed to fly through a tiny spacetime fissure amidst the giant idol’s attack and disappear into the idol’s mouth.

Silence!

Absolute silence!

The enormous space had fallen silent. The hidden Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme had truly not expected this move from Wang Chong.

Having lost its target, the hundred-meter-tall idol instantly froze.

It was unthinkable that a clash between elite experts would end in this fashion.

“Truly suicidal. It seems that he gave up.”

Deep within spacetime, Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme relaxed.

Wang Chong’s actions appeared entirely like someone who had given up hope of defeating the giant idol.

But a moment later, their minds were thrown into disarray.

“Sword of God!” A voice that was neither too loud nor too soft resounded through the space.

The fabric of space trembled as a majestic Sword Qi erupted out of the enormous idol. In a flash, that golden Sword Qi shot out from the idol’s open mouth.

The Sword Qi rocketed into the air, extending to a height of several thousand feet.

The majestic energy cleaved apart this entire space.

With this one attack, the giant idol froze, and its golden eyes began to rapidly dim.

Bang!

The three black swords dropped, two of the black swords leaving their hands to smash into the ground.

As for the storm of energy within the idol’s body, it rapidly dimmed until it totally vanished.

“Impossible!”

The sight of this giant idol being instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal caused Grand Supreme’s eyes to fly open in shock.

This idol was the strongest guardian of the cold wave’s origin, even stronger than Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme. No one had expected Wang Chong to defeat it, and in one hit!

“It’s your turn now.” A soft voice, as cold as ice, resounded through the space.

A moment later, a dark streak shot out of the giant idol’s open mouth.

In a flash, Wang Chong lunged at the giant dimensional teleportation gate, ignoring the black idol.

With a wave of his hand, the spacetime seal that the Celestial God Organization had erected around the gate was torn to shreds, and a golden ripple appeared in the air.

With the disappearance of the seal, the giant teleportation gate immediately seemed more solid and real.

Not only that, as the spacetime seal was torn away, two slender figures flashing with golden light were revealed to be standing in the teleportation gate.

“Impossible! Run!”

Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme paled in shock, their golden figures instantly splitting off and fleeing.
