The Human Emperor

Souls!

This was a forbidden ground for martial artists, a forbidden ground for all humans. Not even the strongest martial artist could extract a person’s soul.

Not only that, the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals had been dead for some time, but the golden man had still been able to extract their souls from their bodies. This could no longer be explained as an extension of martial arts.

Moreover, if a person’s soul was imprisoned, they would not be able to reincarnate.

Even evil path leaders like the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, Bone Devil Ancestor, and Black Yin Ancestor couldn’t help but pale and back away in fear.

They were regarded as part of the evil path by the rest of the martial arts world and could kill without blinking an eye. Their hands were stained with the blood of countless people.

But in front of this man, they were like kittens before a lion.

The gap between the two sides was immeasurably vast.

The god-like being suspended in the air cared little about the reactions of those around him, treating them as if they didn’t exist.

As his fingers clenched together, the screams became deafening. The souls extracted from the bodies of the three Immortals were forcefully squeezed together.

“Ah!”

A martial artist yelped in fright and fell back onto the ground, cold sweat drenching his body.

Not even in the most dangerous and frightening situations in his life had he been more shocked than by what he had witnessed in the last few seconds.

“Demon! Demon! This can’t be a human!”

The wide eyes of the numerous martial artists clearly displayed their panic and fear.

A few moments later, the golden man had finished his modifications.

Seething with black smoke, a new soul had appeared in his hand, a jailed beast that roared in his hands but was powerless to escape his grip.

The man’s cold eyes never once looked at the martial artists around him. He slowly scanned the ground and quickly settled on the body of the bamboo hat leader nearby.

“Nothing but a lowly warrior! This is an enormous favor for you!”

The man’s voice resounded through the air as he vanished and then reappeared above the bamboo hat leader’s body. He opened his right hand, allowing the new soul containing the traits of the three Immortals to vanish into the corpse of the bamboo hat leader.

Clack! Clack! Bones cracked and groaned as the bamboo hat leader’s body began to tremble and swell. It was like some supremely savage beast was hidden within his body.

RAAAA! A heaven-shaking roar came from the mouth of the bamboo hat leader, and then, as everyone else watched in shock, his body stood back up.

His body had initially been very large and muscular, but under the stimulation of the golden man, it had swelled to a height of 2.7 meters.

His torso and limbs were also rapidly thickening, and he stood above the crowd like a crane amongst chickens, a true giant. Many people didn’t even come up to half his height.

Thud! Thud!

This stalwart giant soon turned its gaze to the crowd.

Everyone could see his eyes, blood-red eyes brimming with chaos and madness, a desire for blood and carnage. This was nothing more than a human-shaped beast.

“This is the last chance this one will give you! Kill all the ants here! Every single one! I hope that you will not disappoint me!” the golden man said.

These words were not for the martial artists, but for the bamboo hat leader standing before him. It was as if speaking to any of the martial artists down below would harm his prestige.

Roooar!

The bamboo hat leader responded with a savage roar.

Boom!

While everyone was still panicking and trying to figure out what was going on, the air exploded. In a flash of light, the golden man vanished like a ghost.

He left behind the bamboo hat leader, who shook the earth as he once more used his most powerful ability, the Yellow Scarf Warrior.

This time, however, the Yellow Scarf Warrior was far taller and more terrifying.

Boom!

An immense fist hurtled through the air and screams almost instantly began to ring out.

Meanwhile, a figure streaked through the white dimension that Wang Chong had previously traversed, crossing through it almost instantly and reaching the Origin Immortal Palace at its heart.

Boom!

In another flash of light, a foot stomped into the Origin Immortal Palace.

The entire palace shivered, and it felt like the entire world was shivering with it.

“We finally meet again! After so many years, everyone thought you were dead. To think that you still had one last breath! Were you waiting for me to come and collect your corpse?”

The icy voice resounded through the palace. The golden man ignored Wang Chong and focused solely on the cross-legged Origin Immortal Lord.

“Haaa, there’s no time!”

The voice of the Origin Immortal Lord resounded in Wang Chong’s mind, deeply sighing.

He had still wanted to tell Wang Chong a few more things, but his foe had come far more quickly than he had expected.

“True Lord Yellow Dragon, I kept hidden for so many years. I didn’t think that you would still manage to find me.”

The Origin Immortal Lord sighed as he turned his eyes to the golden man.

When the Origin Immortal Lord finished speaking, Wang Chong watched the golden light shrouding the figure disperse, revealing the face beneath.

This was an elder of around sixty or seventy years, but his complexion was ruddy and his forehead smooth. He didn’t seem like someone in his old age at all.

He held his hands behind his back and wore a yellow dragon robe, the savage dragons so lifelike that they seemed ready to leap from the cloth.

Anyone who used dragon designs in the Central Plains would be guilty of immense disrespect and would probably have their entire clan slaughtered, but this man clearly did not care.

And if one looked carefully, one would realize that this dragon robe was completely different from those worn by the Son of Heaven or the Imperial Princes. Those dragons were of extraordinarily ancient design, completely different from the ones Wang Chong knew.

But what drew his attention the most was not his flagrant wearing of a dragon robe, but his beard. This was a golden beard that glossily shone, taking the form of two long and thin streams of hair that hung down from the side of his lips. They appeared like two dragon whiskers, like this man really was a yellow dragon.

While this man had a strange appearance, Wang Chong did not dare to look down on him or jeer at him.

Powerful! Extremely powerful!

The moment this man appeared, Wang Chong felt his blood freeze, alarm bells ringing from every single part of his body.

He would die!

This was what Wang Chong’s instinct and intuition communicated to him in bold letters.

Wang Chong had never encountered such a powerful foe, and he was someone who had killed the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals!

But in the face of this mysterious ‘True Lord Yellow Dragon’, Wang Chong felt like his life was hanging by a thread.

He couldn’t even muster up the will to fight, let alone actually fight.

Every cell in his body told him that this was not someone he could defeat.

Wang Chong was not unfamiliar with this feeling, but this instinctive response would only happen when the chasm between him and his foe was particularly immense.

There was no question that True Lord Yellow Dragon had far exceeded his level of strength and simply wasn’t someone he could fight.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort resounded in Wang Chong’s ears.

Raising his head, Wang Chong could clearly see a vicious light in True Lord Yellow Dragon’s eyes.

True Lord Yellow Dragon ceased the exchanging of pleasantries and instantly struck.

Boom!

A golden light howled through the world, instantly engulfing the Origin Immortal Lord and Wang Chong next to him.

But even before True Lord Yellow Dragon had struck, the Origin Immortal Lord had extended his right hand and placed a thin finger on Wang Chong’s shoulder.

“Be careful! This battle isn’t something you can take part in! This finger is the last thing I can help you with!” The Origin Immortal Lord’s voice resounded like pealing thunder in Wang Chong’s mind, and a moment later, violent energy surged into Wang Chong’s body.

“Senior!”

Wang Chong only managed to say this single word before the world began to spin around him. Wang Chong sensed that this immense energy was teleporting him out of the Origin Immortal Palace.

At the same time…

Rumble!

Two terrifying energies that transcended all living beings of the world fiercely clashed within the Origin Immortal Palace.

With a grandiose explosion, the exquisitely built Origin Immortal Palace together with its golden light barrier exploded.

Those martial artists who were still trying to break through the golden barrier were instantly obliterated.

A moment later, a golden light tens of thousands of times more dazzling than the sun expanded outward with an unstoppable momentum.

The fog that engulfed the core region was instantly vaporized into nothingness by this frightening power.
