The Human Emperor

Chapter 2410: The Final Move!

"Killkillkill!"

The top-class experts of both sides swiftly began to battle. Not long after the three Supremes had disappeared, the Fallen charged onto the battlefield.

These people moved with incredible speed, further boosted by their movement techniques, and they were more than twice as strong as the other men in black. Allowing them to wreak havoc on the battlefield would have serious consequences.

"Inform them that they can move out!" Dalon Trinling suddenly ordered as he looked at the battlefield.

All of the continent's power had been gathered for this war. Besides the experts of the Central Plains, the other countries, including Ü-Tsang, had dispatched their own top-class experts. While they might not have been as numerous as the experts of the Central Plains, when put together, they represented a considerable force that could not be ignored.

These forces had not been sent onto the battlefield in case of any mishaps.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Stellar Energy rumbled as the experts of the other countries joined the battle.

"Kill!"

War cries filled the air and shattered weapons littered the battlefield. Celestial Army soldiers, men in black, human soldiers… countless people were slain, their blood mingling into rivers and flowing over the earth. A crimson mist began to pervade the battlefield. The Turkic steppe became a giant meat grinder.

The losses were terrifying!

Wang Zhongsi, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Bahram—all of them had joined the battle.

"Chong-er, are you watching?"

In the rear of the army, a tall and slender figure stood, watching the battle transpire.

Though he wore thin robes, he had a domineering and peerless bearing that no one could match.

This was an aura that any general or soldier would feel admiration for. Even Wang Zhongsi was greatly lacking compared to this figure.

Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen!

The world was in danger, the fate of all its inhabitants hinging on this single battle. For this moment, Su Zhengchen had finally decided to come out of retirement and take command of the battle.

Around Su Zhengchen, there were as many as forty messengers coming and going.

For the human army, Wang Chong had prepared two supreme commanders. For the first part of the battle, the commander was to be Crown Prince's Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi. For the second part of the battle, it would be Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen.

The battle had now entered the second stage, and Crown Prince's Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi had entered the battlefield. Naturally, Su Zhengchen had assumed command.

There was no response besides the intense sounds of battle from the front. Wang Chong was in the depths of spacetime battling with Heaven, and it should have been impossible for him to hear Su Zhengchen's voice, let alone respond.

But a moment later, a familiar voice spoke over the noise of the battlefield.

"I've seen it!"

This calm and cold voice was none other than Wang Chong's, and it seemed to be coming from somewhere on Su Zhengchen's body.

If one looked carefully, one would be able to feel an extremely weak soul pulse belonging to Wang Chong coming from Su Zhengchen, and that voice was coming from the weak soul pulse.

The Soul Slicing Art!

Heaven had used a similar method to keep control over Essence Supreme, though Wang Chong had used this technique on himself.

Before the war, Wang Chong had learned from Master Guangcheng's memory how to cut the soul, and he had left a fragment of his soul behind on Su Zhengchen's body.

Wang Chong's original body was battling Heaven in the depths of spacetime, but probably not even Heaven had realized that Wang Chong was keenly aware of all the developments taking place on the battlefield.

"It's about time. Teacher, I leave the rest to you!" Wang Chong sternly said.

"Mm!"

Su Zhengchen nodded without the slightest hesitation. All of this was part of the plan.

"Senior, how is the formation?" Wang Chong said, though this was spoken to a nearby figure.

"It's difficult to hide it from them, but since you've lured Heaven into the depths of spacetime, even if they notice, they can't stop it now."

The one who was speaking was none other than the Formation Elder.

"In addition, we've already received the last signal. Everything is ready now, and we're just waiting for you."

"Begin! Life or death will be decided by this battle. Whether the world can continue to exist or not will depend on your operation," Wang Chong sternly said.

After a few moments of silence, Su Zhengchen said, "One other thing. What do we do about those eight Doomsday Behemoths of the Celestial God Organization?"

All the King Apes, Behemoth Slayers, and the six-armed Garudas had been sent onto the battlefield, but things were still not looking good.

If those monsters were not dealt with, the human army would remain in grave peril.

"I have already prepared for everything. Teacher, you just need to activate the formation. I will deal with the Doomsday Behemoths," Wang Chong sternly said.

Hearing this, Su Zhengchen did not argue.

"Understood. I will leave it to you!"

Bang!

Su Zhengchen's eyes turned cold as he stomped forward. The earth shuddered, the energy of the entire steppe fiercely quaking. It was like the entire world could not endure Su Zhengchen's immense power.

Whoosh!

As Su Zhengchen stomped forward, a gale stirred up, unfurling a giant war banner behind him.

The banner was not exactly resplendent. On the contrary, it was tattered and old, and there was but a single word on the banner.

'Su' (苏)!

As this banner unfurled, a bold, fearless, and tenacious aura swept out. A moment later, all the soldiers felt a subtle shift in their auras. They became more focused and a little stronger.

This was the inextinguishable soul of a veteran soldier who had fought countless battles until their armor had turned yellow from all the sand!

The Banner of the War God!

Upon seeing this, even Wang Zhongsi felt the blood rush to his head, a burning passion rising up in his chest.

Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen was everyone's senior, a legend of the Great Tang, a hero in the minds of countless people! Even Wang Zhongsi, a former war god himself, had admired this man in his youth.

That banner and that man had forged a generation, had forged the current Great Tang's martial iron-blooded soul!

After a long period of time, that man and banner had once more appeared on the battlefield. This time, however, it was not for the empire or the Central Plains, but for the sake of the entire human world.

Senior, we can finally fight together! Wang Zhongsi inwardly exclaimed, his body trembling in excitement. To fight alongside this man for the sake of the world was his honor and pride.

Bang!

As Su Zhengchen stepped forward, an energy as vast as the seas erupted from his body and deep into the earth. In a few moments, it had spread across the battlefield.

With this move, the Turkic steppe began to tremble.

The quaking was so fierce that even the Doomsday Behemoths were affected, their mountainous bodies swaying unsteadily as they shrieked in alarm.

But things were only just beginning…

Clangclangclang!

In a metallic clatter, all of the millions of human soldiers were endowed with a bright halo that boosted their power.

Giving so many soldiers a halo over such a large range required a stupendous amount of energy.

But at this moment, there was no need to hold anything back!

Su Zhengchen's move seemed to be a sort of signal, and dark clouds abruptly began to gather, the winds howling as the world darkened.

This sudden development drew everyone's attention, and even the men in black looked up at the sky.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, a powerful ripple of energy came from the far west, seemingly from the Arabian Empire, and then a dazzling beam of light exploded out of the ground.

Soon after that, a second pillar of light rocketed to the sky, this time from the far east, seemingly from the distant Goguryeo peninsula.

This was followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth… One thick pillar of light after another soared into the sky, lighting up the gloomy darkness.

Moreover, as these pillars of light emerged, the quaking grew stronger and stronger.

"What is going on here?"

On the battlefield, one of the Fallen instinctively looked up, his face uneasy.

Bang!

A ninth pillar of light shot into the air, but this time, it came from none other than the center of the human army.

As this beam of light emerged, it was like a blazing sun erupting over the battlefield, so bright that the soldiers of the Celestial Army were forced to close their eyes.

"What's that?"

A Celestial Army soldier was barely able to make out something in the pillar of light: a black silhouette floated a hundred-some feet off the ground, pulsing with energy.

A nearby man in black was able to make out what this silhouette was. "A cauldron! One of the Nine Cauldrons!"

As if in response to his thoughts, a deep and cold voice resounded over the battlefield.

"Everyone, hear my order! Activate the Nine Provinces Universal Formation!"

As Su Zhengchen spoke, the earth rumbled and horses neighed. Suddenly, pure energy gushed out of the earth and engulfed the entirety of the human army.

Clangclangclang!

In just a few moments, the aura of the human army swelled, vast energy pouring into the halos at their feet, all of them exploding with dazzling and stunning light.

All of the soldiers instantly rose several tiers in strength.

And the effects were not restricted to just this. As the human army swelled in power, all of the Celestial Army soldiers felt their surroundings turn heavy, as if mountains were pressing down on them.

Before the Celestial Army soldiers could react, they felt like numerous fetters had been placed on their bodies, and their strength plunged several tiers.
