Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

A chilling glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

He stood proudly in the sky amidst the howling wind, his True Essence surging. It was as if dragons and phoenixes circled and soared around him, making him look like a supreme War God!

The thunder that had filled the heavens and earth slowly began to subside.

The flashes of lightning faded, and the electrical sparks were extinguished.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He had just slain six Human King Realm Experts in a row, two of whom were at the Fifth Stage of Human King Realm.

In any faction, experts like these were pillars of strength!

But now... they were all dead!

Slain by Jiang Chen, a cultivator who was merely at the Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage.

"Th-this is simply unbelievable!"

"Could Jiang Chen be a reincarnated Demigod? How else could he be this powerful?"

"Divine Thought, that was Divine Thought Power. He actually used his Divine Thought to resonate with the world itself! That’s a power only a Fourth-Grade Divine Thought Grandmaster or higher should possess!"

"That’s impossible! Even a Fourth-Grade Divine Thought Grandmaster could never resonate with the world to slay a Human King. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Everyone turned to look at Long Chan.

The current Emperor of the Dragon Emperor Ancient Country, whose eyes were typically cold and emotionless, now held a look of horror and profound shock. Under everyone’s gaze, he uttered two words, one syllable at a time: "Spirit! King!"

Spirit!

King!

As these two words echoed through the world, every expert held their breath.

Spirit King!

This meant his Divine Thought Power had broken through to the Fifth Grade level. He was a king among Divine Thought Masters.

In the entire Eastern Continent, at least, the publicly known Spirit Kings numbered a mere five. Each of these five was a Supreme Tyrant who presided over their own domain. Even a Human Emperor Realm powerhouse couldn’t dream of easily ordering them around.

No one could have imagined that Jiang Chen, a teenager, was actually a Spirit King.

GULP!

It was unclear who had swallowed so audibly.

Countless horrified gazes turned toward Jiang Chen.

"How old is he? Not only has his Cultivation Realm reached the Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage, putting him at the top of the Human Venerable List, but he’s also a Spirit King?"

"So Jiang Chen’s greatest strength was his Divine Thought all along?"

"This guy’s talent is just... terrifying!"

This last sentence came from a Human Emperor Realm powerhouse. This person was from the Alchemist Guild, the vice president of the Eastern Continent’s Alchemist Guild, in fact. After cultivating for 360 years, he himself had only reached the level of a Fourth-Grade Divine Thought Grandmaster. In the entire Alchemist Guild, the only one who had reached the Spirit King Realm was the guild president himself!

"Vice President, I’ve heard that Jiang Chen is also an Alchemy Master. He’s a Spirit King Level powerhouse now. If we can recruit him into our Alchemist Guild, the President will surely reward us handsomely!" a Fourth-grade Alchemist suggested, his eyes burning with eagerness.

The vice president was taken aback and his heart stirred for a moment. But after glancing at Long Chan, Song Tiancheng, and the others, he shook his head with a wry smile. "Recruiting him now would be tantamount to openly antagonizing the Dragon Emperor Ancient Country and the Great Yuan Dynasty. It’s not worth it, just not worth it!"

Some other factions had the same idea.

However, years later, when Jiang Chen stood at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao on the Qiankun Continent, the experts from these factions would recall how they had missed the perfect opportunity to recruit him in the Profound Celestial Ancestor Realm, and each and every one of them would be filled with endless regret.

Of course, that was all in the future.

At this very moment, after Jiang Chen revealed his identity as a Spirit King Level Divine Thought Master, the major factions no longer sent ordinary Human King Powerhouses to fight him.

Faced with a Spirit King, an ordinary Human King would just be throwing their life away!

Yue Qianshan of the Six Mountains Dynasty took a deep breath, a cold light flickering in his eyes. His gaze, suffused with a chilling killing intent, fell on a middle-aged man in a blood-red battle robe beside him. "War King, you will be the one to act. Kill this beast and avenge Zhuo Bufan and Yue Lingkong!"

"Alright."

A dull and deep voice, like the rolling of war drums, came from the middle-aged man in the blood-red battle robe.

This man was a Human King from the Six Mountains Dynasty!

His title was War King!

His cultivation had reached the Peak of the Fifth Stage of Human King Realm, and he was ranked 9,326th on the Earth Venerable List!

On the entire Eastern Continent, there were no fewer than 100,000 Human Kings, but only 10,000 could make it onto the Earth Venerable List. Every single one of these ten thousand possessed cultivation no weaker than the Peak of the Fifth Stage of Human King Realm. They were all geniuses with combat power far exceeding their peers. One could say that the experts on the Earth Venerable List were the kings among Human Kings!

"Six Mountains Dynasty, War King Yiin Tianhe!" The War King, Yiin Tianhe, stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chen, his bronze bell-like eyes fixed on him, glinting with a predatory light.

As his voice boomed, a furious gale swept forth, making Jiang Chen’s robes whip and flutter, and kicking up sand and stones from the ground.

Dust and sand filled the sky!

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, sizing up Yiin Tianhe. The man exuded a powerful aura that made the blood in Jiang Chen’s veins race. Jiang Chen couldn’t help but lick the corner of his lips, a fanatical battle lust showing in his expression. "It seems your Six Mountains Dynasty can’t wait to kill me, sending out an expert from the Earth Venerable List so quickly!"

"Take your own life!"

Yiin Tianhe said faintly.

Arrogant, proud, confident, domineering!

This was the confidence of a king among Human Kings from the Earth Venerable List.

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "You want me to take my own life? You’re not worthy of making such a demand!"

"I intended to let you take your own life and grant you a quick death. I didn’t expect you to refuse. Since that’s the case, then I shall personally send you on your way!" said the War King, Yiin Tianhe, his tone flat.

SWISH!

The War King, Yiin Tianhe, suddenly flashed forward. He moved in a straight, direct line, charging like an enraged bull.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yiin Tianhe’s physical body was incredibly powerful. Everywhere he passed, the air itself was compressed until it exploded.

A series of rumbles echoed endlessly, enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

"Hundred Battles Demon King Fist!"

Yiin Tianhe roared. The sound of his fist shattered the void, causing ripples and wrinkles to appear in space, as if it were a water bottle squeezed to its absolute limit, ready to burst at any moment.

A glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes as a dark golden light pulsed around him.

With a flicker of his Divine Thought, he commanded, "Thunder Punishment!"

RUMBLE!

A torrent formed from condensed lightning suddenly shot out.

Under the impact of the lightning torrent, his Divine Thought was like an endless, surging sea, crashing down to crush Yiin Tianhe.

This was the clash between a Spirit King and a War King!

"A petty parlor trick!"

Yiin Tianhe smiled nonchalantly and snorted coldly as the shadow of his fist suddenly magnified.

It arrived with immense power, like a majestic mountain peak.

BOOM—

True Essence shattered and fist images scattered. Like a supreme and invincible War God, he threw a punch that forcefully smashed the lightning torrent into fragments. This powerful blow struck Jiang Chen squarely, sending him flying backward like a falling star streaking across the sky. With a massive BOOM, he crashed into the ground below.

The ground shook violently. Mountains collapsed, the earth sank, and rocks and soil flew everywhere.

Jiang Chen’s body kept sliding backward.

He carved a massive, kilometer-long fissure into the earth.

At this moment, all the powerhouses who wanted Jiang Chen dead couldn’t help but reveal cold and triumphant expressions. ’Facing an expert from the Earth Venerable List, let’s see you act so arrogant now!’
