Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

"Hahaha! Go on, Jiang Chen, keep acting so high and mighty!"

"Before an expert from the Earth Venerable List, you’re still as fragile as an ant!"

"The War King is just too strong!"

"That Jiang Chen is a dead man for sure!"

One expert after another cheered with delight.

Jiang Chen had previously slain their Human King Powerhouses one after another, causing the major powers to lose all face. Now, they had finally regained some of their prestige!

The powerhouses from the Six Mountains Dynasty were especially ecstatic.

Yue Qianshan crossed his arms, a smug look on his face. "The War King’s Hundred Battle Fist Technique is getting more and more powerful. I’m afraid his Fist Dao Secrets are on the verge of reaching the Tier Six level!"

The level of Martial Arts Secrets comprehended by Human King Realm powerhouses is generally Tier Five.

Only by grasping Tier Five High Level Secrets can one barely make it onto the Earth Venerable List!

The power of Yiin Tianhe’s previous punch was indeed terrifying. His Fist Dao Secrets were only a single step away from Tier Six Secrets.

Yuyang Liekong of the Fengyang Ancient Country nodded and said, "With Yiin Tianhe’s strength and talent, I imagine it won’t be long before he can challenge for a spot in the top eight thousand of the Earth Venerable List!"

"The goal I’ve set for him is to reach the top five thousand on the Earth Venerable List before he turns one hundred!" Yue Qianshan declared.

"The top five thousand? That should be possible!"

Yuyang Liekong nodded, then his gaze shifted to the end of the chasm Jiang Chen had been smashed into. Dust and smoke billowed from the spot where Jiang Chen now lay. Yuyang Liekong frowned slightly and muttered to himself, ’Could Jiang Chen have actually been killed by that one punch?’

Yue Qianshan chuckled. "It’s very likely!"

In the crowd, Zhao Hongluan, Zifeng Hanshuang, and Gai Shi all stared with wide eyes, their faces etched with tension and worry.

The Black Emperor, meanwhile, was standing beside Zifeng Tianhen.

He had received Jiang Chen’s orders long ago. When they were surrounded by the crowd of Human Emperor Powerhouses, he had flown over to Zifeng Tianhen’s side.

After all... he was just a Battle Pet. Those Human Emperors wouldn’t go so far as to attack him.

Zifeng Tianhen glanced at the Black Emperor and found him gnawing on a roasted beast leg. He asked, perplexed, "Little Black, aren’t you worried about Jiang Chen?"

The experts of the Purple Wind Clan all recognized the Black Emperor.

The Black Emperor waved a dismissive paw, took a bite of meat, and then washed it down with a gulp of Wind Emperor Fire Brew. "It’s not that easy to defeat Jiang Chen!"

"Oh?"

Zifeng Tianhen was taken aback. He narrowed his eyes and looked toward Jiang Chen.

At the same time, the gazes of all the experts converged on the end of the great fissure in the earth.

Billowing dust clouds and sand filled the sky, and stones were sent flying.

Everything seemed quite ordinary.

Suddenly, a gale erupted from within the swirling dust and debris. It was an incomparably violent wind that blasted out in all directions. The churning sand was completely blown away. Within a three-thousand-zhang radius centered on that spot, countless flowers, plants, and fertile soil began to wither and die at an incredible speed.

Surging waves of the Power of Ten Thousand Spirits continuously gathered toward Jiang Chen’s position.

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE...

The colossal roar was deafening.

Each explosive tremor caused the ground to quake violently. The earth became parched and barren, losing all its fertility.

A network of cracks spread out in all directions.

"Wh-what’s going on?"

"Could Jiang Chen be using some kind of Spirit King technique?"

"Weird. This is too weird..."

The crowd of experts stared with wide eyes, fixated on the unexpected changes unfolding before them!

"Hmph, putting on a mysterious act!" The War King, Yiin Tianhe, raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly as the killing intent in his eyes intensified. "No matter how strange your methods are, you’re ultimately just a Union Palace Realm cultivator. Even if your Divine Thought has reached the Spirit King level, my will to fight is unparalleled and my Battle Soul is indestructible. I am immune to your Divine Thought’s influence. You’re no match for me at all!"

WHOOSH!

Yiin Tianhe activated his Profound Technique, and a vast, surging tide of True Essence erupted from his body.

He threw a punch.

BOOM!

A shower of fist-shadows, like a torrential downpour, suddenly blasted toward Jiang Chen. "Hundred Battles Demon King Fist—Torrential Rain Boxing Skill!"

WHOOSH!

The fist-shadows were like rain and wind, blotting out the sun as a crushing, dark mass descended.

RUMBLE...

Stream after stream of fist-shadows slammed into the earth.

The entire land trembled, mountains shook, and rivers were cut off in their course.

Countless streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi grew incredibly violent, mixing with the endless fist-shadows as they charged toward Jiang Chen’s position. The crater in the ground grew larger and larger, leaving behind a pitted, ruined landscape.

WHOOSH!

When the fist-shadows finally dissipated, the ground was a scene of utter devastation, littered everywhere with massive craters as if it had been bombarded by meteorites.

There was no longer any sign of Jiang Chen!

"Hm?"

Yiin Tianhe frowned. He stepped through the air and flew toward Jiang Chen’s last known position. After searching the entire area and finding no trace of him, he frowned again. ’Don’t tell me that kid was so fragile he was blown to bits by my attack, without even a scrap of flesh left behind?’

A smug look couldn’t help but appear on his face.

’So what if he’s the new number one on the Human Venerable List?’

’So what if he’s a Spirit King?’

’Before my Hundred Battles Demon King Fist, you’re still beaten to death without a single scrap remaining!’

Yiin Tianhe thought with smug satisfaction.

However, just as Yiin Tianhe was about to leave, a piercing killing intent suddenly swept over him, causing the pores all over his body to stand on end. His heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed. ’Crap, the kid’s not dead!’

SWISH!

An unparalleled beam of sword light erupted from beneath the ground.

It slashed toward Yiin Tianhe.

"Hundred Battles Demon King Fist—Demon King Over the World!"

Yiin Tianhe roared. He threw a punch into the air, which instantly transformed into a ferocious Demon King with a green face and sharp fangs. It reached out a ghostly hand, formed a Demon Fist, and blasted toward the unparalleled sword light with a chilling Netherworld aura.

BOOM—

Heaven and earth trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light.

This sword and this fist seemed powerful enough to destroy the world.

Terrifying spatial fluctuations appeared in the sky. The void itself trembled, rippling and wrinkling as if it were about to be torn apart completely.

When everything dissipated, Yiin Tianhe had already been knocked back several hundred meters. He stood suspended in the air, his right hand trembling slightly. A deep, bone-exposing sword mark was visible on his fist. Yiin Tianhe’s gaze hardened as he looked forward, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent. He spat out the name of the sword-wielding youth: "Jiang Chen, you dare to wound me? I will tear you to a million pieces!"

"Tear me to a million pieces? I’m afraid you don’t have what it takes!"

Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

"Hmph, don’t think that just because you wounded me with a sneak attack, you have the ability to fight me. I was only using fifty percent of my power just now. If I use just a bit more strength, I can easily crush you. Do you believe me or not?" Yiin Tianhe said through gritted teeth.

The corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched. His longsword suddenly shot into the air and slashed down, his wild and insolent voice ringing out at the same time...

"I don’t believe you!"
