Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The great war was imminent.

This was a battle that would decide life and death, the very survival of a race.

The experts of either side would show no mercy!

Especially the humans...

For millions of years in the Kun Realm, humans were nothing more than delectable food in the eyes of the Kun-eating Race.

They continuously devoured humanity, sparing no one, not even infants. All became delicacies for the Kun-eating Race.

"You bastards of the Kun-eating Race, die!"

"You'll pay for my son's life!"

Human experts roared in fury one after another.

The first batch of experts to charge out of Blood Jade City were all at the Human King Realm or below. The opposing Kun-eating Race similarly dispatched those below the King Level.

This was a probing attack!

BOOM…

The bodies of the Kun-eating Race experts were incredibly tough, and they outnumbered the humans three to one. Even though the human experts fought fearlessly, their losses were catastrophic. In the first probing skirmish alone, over a million human experts fell. Of course, the Kun-eating Race also paid the price with the lives of several hundred thousand of their own!

"ROAR!"

A furious roar, like the tolling of a great bell, came from within the ranks of the Kun-eating Race.

Figures tore through the sky.

The Emperor Level members of the Kun-eating Race were making their move!

"The Emperor Level of the Kun-eating Race are making their move. I guess it's my turn to take the stage!"

Atop the city wall, Zhao Ziyun flexed his hands lightly. A faint smile on his face, he looked toward the Blood Jade City Lord and Jiang Chen. "City Lord, City Lord Jiang… If I die, help me look after my wife and son!"

"Don't worry!"

"As long as I live, no one will be able to harm them!"

The expressions on the faces of the Blood Jade City Lord and Jiang Chen were incredibly grim as they nodded.

"Mm!"

Zhao Ziyun took a deep breath and looked toward the city interior. His gaze pierced through the void, landing on the figure of a woman.

This woman was holding a three-year-old boy in her arms.

The woman seemed to sense Zhao Ziyun's gaze. A trace of gentleness appeared in her reddened eyes. Pressing her lips together, she said to the little boy in her arms, "Son, that's your father. He's going out to fight the enemy!!"

"Go, Daddy!"

The little boy said in a high-pitched, childish voice, "Daddy, when you come back, I want yummy treats!"

"Okay!"

Across the vast distance, Zhao Ziyun replied in a low voice, "When I get back, I'll bring you some yummy treats!"

BOOM—

Zhao Ziyun shot into the sky.

A blood-red Long Spear landed in his palm. He swept the spear through the air, and a terrifying wave of energy instantly surged skyward.

As one of the only three Human Emperor Realm Ninth Stage experts remaining in the Blood Saber Guard.

Zhao Ziyun's combat power was far greater than that of Pei Yidao!

"Brothers, charge with me!" Zhao Ziyun roared.

Blood-red light pulsed around him, making him look like an invincible War God!

Pressing ever forward!

"Kill!"

"Slaughter all these Kun-eating Race bastards!"

A vast group of experts charged out. Under Zhao Ziyun's lead, they converged into an unstoppable iron torrent. Like a black dagger, they violently pierced the front lines of the Kun-eating Race army and plunged into their ranks.

"ROAR! Zhao Ziyun, I will be the one to face you!"

An Emperor Level member of the Kun-eating Race, at the Ninth Stage of the Human Emperor Realm, roared and charged toward Zhao Ziyun.

"Why would I be afraid of you?" Zhao Ziyun snorted coldly.

His Long Spear moved like a dragon, and with a single sweep, a crimson dragon tore through the void.

BOOM—

Two terrifying energies collided, creating an apocalyptic scene. A brilliant blood-red sun hung in the sky, erupting with incomparably dazzling light.

"AWOOO…"

That member of the Kun-eating Race was no match for Zhao Ziyun at all.

Zhao Ziyun's spear pierced its heart. Holding the spear with one hand, Zhao Ziyun swung the creature high into the air, impaling it above his head. He let its blood rain down, bathing himself in the crimson light. Behind him, Zhao Ziyun's long hair whipped about. Like a Supreme War God, he let out a heaven-shaking roar: "Long live the Human Race!"

BOOM!

With a flick of the spear, the Kun-eating Race creature exploded, completely annihilated!

"Damn it, that's Zhao Ziyun!"

"Go, go, kill him!"

"ROAR!"

Within the Kun-eating Race's camp, a cold glint flashed in Alu Tian's eyes. He waved his hand lightly.

Immediately, five Emperor Level Kun-eating Race members, all at the Ninth Stage of the Human Emperor Realm, charged toward Zhao Ziyun. These five were all incredibly powerful. Individually, they might not have been Zhao Ziyun's match, but with the five of them teaming up, even someone with Zhao Ziyun's supreme combat power was no match for them.

BANG…

BANG!

One terrifying attack after another landed on Zhao Ziyun's body.

Blood gushed from Zhao Ziyun. An Emperor Level member of the Kun-eating Race latched onto one of his arms with its jaws, and with a vicious twist of its head, ripped the arm clean off.

"ARGH!"

Zhao Ziyun, drenched in blood, roared, "Die!"

BOOM—

Zhao Ziyun's severed arm instantly exploded.

The blast completely blew apart the head of the Kun-eating Race creature that had been biting it, making it explode like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer, splattering blood everywhere.

"Damn it!"

"Zhao Ziyun, die!"

The other four members of the Kun-eating Race roared and launched incredibly fierce attacks.

Fearless in the face of death, Zhao Ziyun brandished his Long Spear in the air, and a total of eighteen crimson Blood Dragons shot out, defying the heavens. Each Blood Dragon was a spear projection of terrifying power.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The four Kun-eating Race members were forcefully knocked back by Zhao Ziyun, but he also took several hits, his body trembling violently as he coughed up blood.

The four Kun-eating Race members surrounded Zhao Ziyun once more.

Zhao Ziyun's eyes were ice-cold, his battle intent erupting from his body like a raging fire. "Behind me is my home, my people, my family… You bastards, if you want to harm my people, you'll have to step over my dead body! Burn, my Battle Soul!"

BOOM—

An incredibly dazzling blood-red light erupted from Zhao Ziyun's body.

Behind him, an invincible War God Martial Soul ignited.

Burning his Martial Soul!

He was betting his life!

BOOM!

Burning his Martial Soul, Zhao Ziyun was bathed in blood-red flames. His combat power skyrocketed as he charged toward one of the Kun-eating Race members.

He struck with his palm!

BOOM!

The head of this Kun-eating Race creature exploded.

Zhao Ziyun continued toward the second one. He swept his Long Spear, and a blood-red light pierced the sky, tearing through the void and shaking the heavens and earth!

BOOM! BOOM!

Two Kun-eating Race members were directly pierced through the heart by the Long Spear, but their Life Force was incredibly tenacious. They let out a heaven-shaking roar and charged forward. With their bodies still impaled on the spear, they grabbed onto Zhao Ziyun. An incomparably terrifying, bloody light then erupted from the bodies of the two creatures.

BOOM…

The two Emperor Level Kun-eating Race members exploded simultaneously.

"ARGH!"

Zhao Ziyun cried out in agony, half of his body blown to pieces.

His consciousness began to fade. His eyes, filled with unwillingness and helplessness, glanced back toward Blood Jade City. He seemed to see the woman holding the little boy, and a gratified, warm smile touched his lips. 'My son… I'm sorry. I can't be there to watch you grow up. You… you must take my place and protect your mother!'

"You bastards of the Kun-eating Race, go to hell!"

Zhao Ziyun roared one last time, his entire being engulfed in burning, bloody light as he plunged into the midst of the Kun-eating Race army.

BOOM—

A terrifying storm of an explosion, spreading out for a hundred miles, surged skyward. The pillar of blood-red light grew larger and larger, and wherever it passed, the experts of the Kun-eating Race were blasted into dust.

When the bloody light dissipated, Zhao Ziyun had also vanished from this world!

This is a war between races!

It's either you die, or I die!

「Atop the city wall.」

Jiang Chen clenched his fists, his heart bleeding. 'Commander Zhao, may you rest in peace. I will definitely avenge you!'

The Blood Jade City Lord's face was dark. He clenched his jaw and looked at Lian Yue.

Lian Yue gave a dry chuckle, a smile forming on his face. "I suppose it's time for these old bones to get moving… Alas, my wife and son have been waiting for me in the Underworld for many years! Today, I can finally go and see them!"

In his hands were two spiritual tablets.

They were the spiritual tablets of his wife and son. They had died at the hands of the Kun-eating Race!

Lian Yue flew high into the sky, brandished his Battle Blade, and roared, "Brothers, kill with me!"

A group of experts followed Lian Yue, charging onto the battlefield…
