Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The Kun Realm.

Vast and boundless, the fifty-four cities inhabited by humanity alone held a population exceeding one hundred billion.

However...

This population of a hundred billion was still no match for the experts of the one hundred and eight tribes of the Kun-eating Race. According to incomplete statistics, the total population of the Kun-eating Race across their one hundred and eight tribes exceeded three hundred billion!

These members of the Kun-eating Race could devour the Mystical Origin between heaven and earth in the Kun Realm. Like a swarm of locusts, they were constantly devouring the Secrets of Origin.

It was because of this that the Kun-eating Race was able to condense Primordial Pills containing the power of Mystical Origin!

For millions of years, the humans and the Kun-eating Race of the Kun Realm had fought against each other, but not a single human had ever managed to breach any of the tribes' territories.

At this very moment.

Within the one hundred and eight tribes of the Kun-eating Race, one hundred and eight massive, ancient altars were emitting a brilliant, blood-red light.

They were like terrifying furnaces of blood!

Within the Alu Tribe.

Alu Tian had already returned to the tribe, his blood-red eyes filled with horror as he gazed upon his clansmen kneeling all over the hills and plains around the altar. He discovered that every single one of them had their eyes shut tight, kneeling around the altar like the most devout believers.

'What in the world is going on? Why are these changes happening to the altar?'

A hesitant look appeared on Alu Tian's face.

He was the most exceptional genius of the Alu Tribe and its youngest Elder. Born only a hundred years ago, he had already reached the level of a High Tier Emperor Level Kun-eater, comparable to a human expert at the Human Emperor Realm Ninth Stage!

"Alu Tian, you're finally back! The Clan Leader wants you to go over there at once!" an Elder said, appearing before him with an anxious expression.

Alu Tian asked in confusion, "What exactly is happening?"

"The heavens of the Kun Realm are about to change!"

The Elder took a deep breath and sighed.

A moment later...

They arrived in the deepest part of the Alu Tribe's territory. Here stood a powerful member of the Kun-eating Race, over ten meters tall, like a towering hill. This expert was the Clan Leader of the Alu Tribe. His strength had reached the Emperor-level Peak Realm, comparable to the Peak of Ninth Stage of Human Emperor Realm.

He was just one step away from the Emperor Realm!

At that moment...

Sensing Alu Tian's arrival, this powerful being opened his eyes. A look of gratification flashed in them as he said faintly, "Alu Tian, you're finally back!"

"Clan Leader, what exactly has happened?" Alu Tian asked respectfully.

The colossal member of the Kun-eating Race glanced at the blood-red altar, a grim smile on his face. He slowly said, "The heavens of the Kun Realm are about to change. The opportunity for our Kun-eating Race to leave this prison-like world has arrived. This is the last testament left by our ancestors: when the altars undergo a shocking transformation, it will be time for our Kun-eating Race to give birth to an Emperor Level being!"

"Emperor Level?"

Everyone was startled.

As everyone knew, in the countless years of the Kun Realm's history, neither the Kun-eating Race nor the Human Race had ever produced an Emperor Realm expert!

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, the Clan Leader said calmly, "Our race is not native to the Kun Realm. This place is nothing more than a cage. Our race and those humans are imprisoned in this cage, and those humans are the Prison Guards watching over us. The ancestors left a testament: if one day the altars activate, it will be the time for the Kun-eating Race to exterminate these humans and shatter the Kun Realm's cage!"

"Countless cycles of Reincarnation have passed. Now, today, the day our Kun-eating Race escapes this cage has finally arrived!" the Clan Leader of the Kun-eating Race declared.

The Elders all revealed excited expressions.

An Emperor Level Kun-eater could live for ten thousand years at most!

But if they stepped into the Emperor Realm, they could live for one hundred and fifty thousand years. This was a qualitative change!

No one wanted to die young!

Alu Tian was also getting excited. He looked at the Clan Leader before him and asked, "Clan Leader, what should we do next?"

A bloody light flashed in the Clan Leader's eyes, like an Ancient Fierce Beast emerging. He said calmly, "Kill! Kill every last human. Throw them into the altars and offer the Human Race as a blood sacrifice. As long as all one hundred and eight altars are completely activated, we can shatter this Kun Realm cage and regain our freedom!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

all the members of the Kun-eating Race in the Alu Tribe revealed grim expressions. "We've had it with those humans for a long time. Today, we finally get to do what we've always wanted!"

"This time, we have to wipe them out completely!"

"Kill!"

One by one, the experts of the Kun-eating Race revealed murderous glints in their eyes.

The Clan Leader said in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen! I have already conferred with the Clan Leaders of the other one hundred and seven tribes. In three days, it will be time for our Kun-eating Race to sweep across the Kun Realm!"

"Yes!"

The same scene played out across the entire Kun Realm, in every tribe of the Kun-eating Race.

Every member of the Kun-eating Race was incomparably excited.

Freedom!

No matter how much power you possessed, what was the point if you had lost your freedom?

To regain their freedom, every single member of the Kun-eating Race was filled with fighting spirit.

Meanwhile...

Among the humans.

Within the fifty-four cities, the City Lords had also received the news one after another.

Black Wind City: "Reporting to the City Lord! Word has come back from those monitoring the Kun-eating Race's tribes! The Kun-eating Race's grand army is gathering, preparing to launch a large-scale offensive!"

"Recall all experts within Black Wind City's territory! We will defend Black Wind City to the death!" the Black Wind City Lord said coldly.

In Fengling City, City Lord Fengling Tian's eyes were icy as he spoke, "What the hell are those damned members of the Kun-eating Race up to? Mobilizing their entire race? Hmph, my Fengling City isn't afraid of you!"

Blood Jade City.

The Blood Jade City Lord listened to his subordinate's report, his fists cracking so hard the void itself seemed to tremble. His killing intent soared to the heavens. "Gather all experts in our territory! In three days, we go to war with the Kun-eating Race!"

Similar scenes unfolded throughout the Kun Realm, within every city.

The experts of the fifty-four cities all entered a state of tense preparation for war.

In the Kun Realm.

The conflict between humans and the Kun-eating Race had persisted for millions of years. The two sides were like fire and water, locked in a struggle to the death.

Now...

...a decisive battle for survival was finally about to erupt!

The entire Kun Realm was steeped in a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere. Every expert could feel the heavy tension, the calm before the storm.

As for Jiang Chen.

He had spent three days underground, finally stabilizing his Cultivation Realm at the Human Emperor Realm Fourth Stage Realm. His vital energy was as vibrant as a rainbow, accompanied by what seemed like the cry of a dragon and phoenix. An unparalleled power surged through his body.

A corner of Jiang Chen's mouth lifted. 'Human Emperor Realm Fourth Stage. With my current strength, I can even kill an expert at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Human Emperor Realm. Even if an Emperor Realm master attacks, I'm confident I can survive the encounter!'

The Emperor Realm!

Don't be fooled by the fact that it was only a single step away from the Peak of Human Emperor Realm.

But...

...once one stepped into the Emperor Realm, it meant their Mystical Technique had reached Tier Nine, close to Perfection.

You could say that...

...ten thousand experts at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Human Emperor Realm would be no match for a single Emperor Realm master. They had already begun to touch upon the power of Law. Law represented the heavens and earth, the Origin of all things. Below the Demigod realm, the Emperor Realm was wudi!

However.

In the Kun Realm, the strongest were only at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Human Emperor Realm; no Emperor Realm beings existed. A confident expression appeared on Jiang Chen's face. 'With my current strength, I can already run rampant in the Kun Realm. It's time to start conquering those Kun-eating Race tribes. There are still more than six months left—I should be able to complete the mission!'

Then...

Jiang Chen left the underground and appeared in Blood Jade City. Sweeping the area with his Divine Thought, his expression changed slightly. 'What's happening? Did a great war break out?'
