Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

Mountain Sea City.

Before Jiang Chen stood a group of experts from Mountain Sea City, one of the three strongest cities in the Kun Realm.

But their enemies were also the strongest.

The two Kun-eating Race tribes in the region of Mountain Sea City had a total of four Emperor-level Peak experts. In this battle, the experts of Mountain Sea City were almost completely wiped out.

Even the Mountain Sea City Lord had to resort to self-detonation, taking two Emperor-level Peak members of the Kun-eating Race with him.

By the time Jiang Chen arrived at Mountain Sea City,

the city gates had already been breached. Countless members of the Kun-eating Race poured into the city, burning, killing, and looting, leaving no one alive.

"No... Don't hurt my child..."

A mother who had just given birth to a baby struggled on the ground, roaring in despair.

But her body was pinned down by the foot of another member of the Kun-eating Race, rendering her struggles futile. That creature laughed ferociously, "You want to save your child? Hahaha, you must be dreaming!"

Standing before the mother,

another three-meter-tall member of the Kun-eating Race held a newborn baby in its two sharp claws.

The infant's eyes weren't even open!

"Hahaha, newborn babies taste the best! The meat is so tender and delicious!" That member of the Kun-eating Race wore a savage grin. Right in front of the mother, it opened its mouth and swallowed the infant in one gulp.

It chewed for a moment, then swallowed.

"No..."

The mother shrieked in utter despair.

The Kun-eater laughed heartily. "Don't be in such a hurry. You'll be joining your child soon enough!"

As it spoke,

its claws reached for the mother.

SWISH!

A beam of sword light suddenly descended from the sky.

The Kun-eater's body shuddered as its skull was split open, and it fell as a cold corpse.

"Who?"

The Kun-eater that had just devoured the baby trembled and looked up at the Celestial Vault, only to see the figure of a young man standing in mid-air.

His long black robes fluttered loudly, and his long black hair danced wildly behind him.

In his hand, he held a cold, black longsword.

A blood groove ran down the center of the blade, and fresh red blood was flowing within it.

Jiang Chen's gaze was bone-chilling as he looked at the Kun-eater. "You... deserve to die!"

"ROAR! Who do you think you are? Die!" the Kun-eater roared, swiping a claw at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen merely waved his hand casually.

CRACK!

The Kun-eater's claw, as sharp as a Profound Weapon, shattered under Jiang Chen's casual strike, spraying blood everywhere.

"AWOOOO..."

The Kun-eater shrieked in pain, shot Jiang Chen a venomous glare, and turned to flee.

'Do you think you can escape?'

Jiang Chen's cold voice rang out as a beam of sword light erupted from his body.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The sound of flesh and bone being severed echoed.

Two arms and two legs flew high into the air. The Kun-eater collapsed to the ground, screaming incessantly.

Jiang Chen looked at the mother and said in a low voice, "Avenge your child!"

"Th-Thank you, benefactor!"

The tears on the mother's face turned to hatred. She grabbed a Profound Weapon, charged at the Kun-eater, and hacked away, dicing it into a pile of minced meat.

Still not satisfied, she roared as she ground the minced meat into even smaller particles.

She collapsed amidst the gore, cradling the chewed and broken corpse of the infant. A gentle, blissful smile appeared on her face as she softly gathered the baby's ruined body into her arms. "My child, Mother can finally come be with you. Don't walk too fast on the Yellow Springs Road. Wait for Mother... our family... will be reunited!"

THUNK!

She plunged the Battle Blade in her hand into her own body.

Her whole body trembled, and a gray film covered her eyes.

Clutching her child tightly, a blissful smile on her lips, she fell to the ground.

Jiang Chen's heart bled.

He looked at the Kun-eating Race rampaging through the city, his killing intent soaring. "ROAR... You scum of the Kun-eating Race, die!"

BOOM—

An unparalleled wave of Sword Qi surged into the sky.

Like a Killing God, Jiang Chen left a trail of destruction. Wherever he passed, every member of the Kun-eating Race was ground into mincemeat, leaving no complete corpse behind.

He quickly found the two Emperor-level Peak members of the Kun-eating Race, his eyes pulsing with killing intent. "All of you... deserve to die!"

"Jiejie, what little human brat is this? Just a Human Emperor Realm Fourth Stage, and you think you can kill us?"

"You're courting death!"

The two Emperor-level Peak members of the Kun-eating Race roared and charged at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's face was frigid. "Die!"

His longsword swept through the air.

PFFT! PFFT!

Two heads flew high into the air.

With Jiang Chen joining the fray, the pressure on Mountain Sea City's experts was greatly reduced. Under his leadership, they launched a counterattack.

It took three full days.

They finally managed to kill all of the invaders from the Kun-eating Race and save Mountain Sea City.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Young Hero. I am Huu Yitao, the Vice City Lord of Mountain Sea City. On behalf of all the people of our city, I thank you for your immense kindness!" Huu Yitao said, looking at Jiang Chen with excitement and gratitude.

Jiang Chen waved his hand. "We are all part of the Human Race. It is our duty to protect our own."

"Young Hero, your great kindness is something we will never forget!" Huu Yitao said.

Jiang Chen glanced at the devastated Mountain Sea City and said in a solemn tone, "Go and clean up the battlefield for now. First, repair the Guardian Array to prevent any surviving members of the Kun-eating Race from launching a sneak attack. I must head to the next city!"

"Young Hero, please leave us your name!" Huu Yitao said.

Jiang Chen's figure had already vanished.

A faint voice echoed in the air, "My name is Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen?"

Huu Yitao froze, repeating the name. Suddenly, his eyes widened. "The Sword Venerable... from Blood Jade City?"

...

Jiang Chen rampaged across the Kun Realm.

He reinforced one city after another, slaughtering the Kun-eating Race. The number of foes he had slain had already reached ten billion.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was bathed in a bloody light, his body radiating a heaven-piercing Evil Qi.

He was like an unparalleled Killing God!

At this moment...

Jiang Chen had just slain another two Emperor-level Peak experts from the Kun-eating Race. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. 'Slaughter... The sword is the sharpest weapon in the world. Its very existence is for the sake of slaughter. No matter the Swordsmanship, no matter the Mystical Technique one comprehends, it all comes down to slaughter. Slaughter is the root of everything!'

BOOM!

Jiang Chen's mind trembled slightly.

A surge of the Mystical Power of Heaven and Earth appeared on his body. This was a Mystical Technique that surpassed Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, Yin and Yang, Light and Darkness—a Mystical Power on par with the Secrets of Time.

The Secrets of Slaughter!

Amidst the endless slaughter, Jiang Chen had actually comprehended another form of Mystical Power—the Secrets of Slaughter!

"Not bad, not bad. The Secrets of Slaughter... Although it's only at Tier Four right now, after I deal with these members of the Kun-eating Race, I can find some Primordial Pills of the Secrets of Slaughter. I should be able to advance my Secrets of Slaughter to Tier Seven. At that point, the power of my Swordsmanship will be even greater—a Swordsmanship entirely for the purpose of slaughter!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"The battles at Sunlight City and North Sea City aren't over yet. Once I've helped those two cities resolve their fights, I can go find the altars of the Kun-eating Race tribes, complete my mission, and leave this place!"

Jiang Chen stood up, preparing to break through the air and depart.

But just then...

An incredibly terrifying fluctuation swept across the entire Kun Realm. The wave was so powerful that even Jiang Chen felt an immense sense of pressure. A look of horror appeared in his eyes as he uttered two dreaded words...

"Emperor! Realm!"
