Chapter 893: Parent
Almost the moment the Dawn Sun was taken out by the Eleventh Prince, Xu Qing had already retreated rapidly, and even raised his hand to take out the Imperial Corpse.
Although Chen Erniu is not here, and the Imperial Corpse requires the two of them together to control, Xu Qing cannot shake it alone, but merging into it for protection is naturally possible.
And this time, Xu Qing actually did not inform Chen Erniu.
He knows very well that this matter concerns the Human Emperor, concerns Prince Ziqing, and the water here is too deep.
For some things, his personality will ultimately choose to face them alone.
And regarding how to face the eruption of the Dawn Sun, Xu Qing has experience.
He also saw some clues; this Dawn Sun is similar in principle to his Ancient Sun, but the details are different.
To be precise, the one he once possessed was a mixture of the Ancient Sun combined with Red Mother flesh, relying on internal instability to collide and produce terrifying, world-shocking power.
And the human race's Dawn Sun is not like this.
It is a stable power; although it cannot be mass-produced, under the human race's system, it can still be formed in an orderly manner.
Only in this way can it be counted as a domain treasure of a race; of course, the premise is that the materials are sufficient.
Therefore, the eruption of this Dawn Sun, the blinding light it forms, gives people a feeling not of terror, but like the first sun tearing through the dark night, burning away the darkness of the world in this instant, rising into the sky.
Bringing light to the heavens and earth, suppressing all darkness.
It is just that after it was mastered by the Eleventh Prince, it was defined as the dark side, becoming the human race, becoming the Ancient Emperor Star.
Thus, the next instant, following endless light and heat, spreading vast and wide like a storm and angry waves toward all directions, the entire Ancient Emperor Star shakes violently.
As if a sun has truly risen within the Ancient Emperor Star.
Even wanting to replace the Ancient Emperor Star and become the true sun within Wanggu, and under the power of its proximity, the divine fire formed by the Ancient Emperor Star's god-becoming ritual also shakes fiercely.
Terrifying fluctuations, destructive auras, at this instant, turn into the arrival of doomsday.
Most human cultivators within the Ancient Emperor Star change color, life-and-death crises erupt within their hearts, and a strong sense of horror fills their bodies and minds.
Only, in mid-air, the four Heaven-Swallowing Clan Heavenly Kings battling the human Heavenly Kings have no change in their expressions.
From the moment they stepped into the blood-colored vortex and descended upon the human race, they actually knew their mission in their hearts.
For the sake of the clan, for that promise, they understand that they are a knife stabbed into the human race, and the mission of the knife, besides beheading, also includes self-destruction.
Therefore, having left arrangements for resurrection within the clan, they have already prepared to detonate their bodies and cultivation.
At this moment, the eruption of the Dawn Sun is a signal to them.
Thus, these four Heaven-Swallowing Clan Heavenly Kings look at each other, determination appearing in their eyes, and without the slightest hesitation at this instant,
each emits a destructive aura from within their bodies.
One Dawn Sun plus four Heavenly Kings detonating, to turn into a true knife.
At this instant, the entire Ancient Emperor Star falls into an unprecedented crisis.
Life and death are only in a flash, and the human Imperial Capital outside the Ancient Emperor Star is also churning, the hearts and minds of all cultivators fluctuating wildly at this moment!
The human race's array shines even more intensely, attempting to suppress it.
But it is of no avail.
Unless there is more powerful force that can ignore the Dawn Sun, otherwise this ancestral sacrifice ceremony, having proceeded to now, will come to an end.
And such an ending for the human race will be a true doomsday.
Thus, some instinctively look toward the statue of the Sword-Wielding Great Emperor.
At this moment, it seems only the Great Emperor's final sword can resolve everything, can solve everything...
Only... the Great Emperor is silent.
Xu Qing sighs in his heart, but until now, he still feels that today's events still have mysteries.
Because Prince Ziqing has not appeared yet.
Because the Human Emperor has been calm from beginning to end.
And the destructive power within the Ancient Emperor Star has already risen to the sky.
But just at this moment... the Human Emperor moves.
He is expressionless, calmly raising his right hand.
The destiny iron chains on his body break quite a few more with this raising action, and his raised right hand presses down slightly.
A giant palm, at this instant, replaces the sky of the Ancient Emperor Star, covers the earth of the Ancient Emperor Star, and appears on the Ancient Emperor Star.
In an instant, a storm rises, the universe loses color, and vast intent descends.
While covering the sky, it also radiates terrifying power surpassing Spirit-Nurturing, shaking all directions, and then presses down lightly toward the bottom.
The void shatters, the heavens and earth roar, and the four Heaven-Swallowing Clan Heavenly Kings in the midst of detonation have their bodies shake fiercely; a power that makes them tremble descends, directly enveloping these four, forming incredible squeezing.
Amidst their wailing, it forcefully presses the aura of their self-detonation back into their bodies, and under this giant force, these four Heavenly Kings spit out fresh blood, their bodies trembling, suppressed by this invisible power, falling to the earth.
Amidst the loud noise on the earth, these four bodies are pressed there, unable to struggle.
Even their great worlds are the same.
Under absolute power, all resistance is meaningless.
Not only are they like this, but the next instant, the erupting Dawn Sun also shakes, and all the light and heat it radiates are directly rolled back, forcefully pressed back, until it becomes a Dawn Sun again.
Only, cracks fill its surface, and its previous stability becomes unstable.
And then it disappears from its original place.
When it appears, it is in mid-air, in the hand of the Human Emperor who still has half of the iron chains binding him, the sky is quiet, and the heavens and earth are dead silent.
Countless gazes, at this instant, instinctively gather on the Human Emperor.
These gazes contain horror, dullness, disbelief, and fear.
The Human Emperor is the only Overlord of the human race today; the people here naturally know this, but in the three thousand years since the Human Emperor ascended the throne, he has never made a move!
So much so that people's understanding of an Overlord's combat power only stays in the simple descriptions of ancient books.
After all, almost all cultivators here have never seen a second Overlord in their lives, and combined with the existence of gods, people instinctively underestimate Overlords.
Until this moment, this is the power of an Overlord.
Spirit-Nurturing in front of him is like an ant; if an Overlord is like this, then gods... gasps spread from all directions.
Xu Qing's eyes reveal a gloomy glint, gazing at the Human Emperor; this is also the first time he has seen the Human Emperor make a move.
"Although far inferior to Li Zihua, it is indeed the combat power of an Overlord."
Xu Qing mutters in his heart.
And the Human Emperor at this moment has an expression as calm as ever, holding the Dawn Sun, his gaze falling on the Eleventh Prince, whose expression is gloomy.
"Little Eleven, is there more?"
The Human Emperor speaks indifferently.
"I don't know if he has any, but I have..."
A cold voice suddenly comes from the edge of the Altar of Heaven behind the Human Emperor.
In an instant, gazes fall one after another on the person who spoke; these gazes mostly contain surprise, because the person speaking is not the Eleventh Prince, but... the Tenth Prince, who is standing with the First Prince and the Fourth and Fifth Princes.
This Tenth Prince, who was suddenly added to the ancestral sacrifice before it began, had always had a look of horror, as if he could not believe everything happening here.
But now, his expression is unprecedentedly calm, and as he speaks, his gaze meets the Human Emperor who has turned his head.
The Human Emperor is not surprised. "You have ultimately decided to fight me? You could have had other choices..."
The Tenth Prince is silent for two breaths, then speaks indifferently.
"You suddenly let me, the prince I am inhabiting, join the ancestral sacrifice; was it to let me come out and fight you?"
"And I indeed have other choices, but the promise they gave left me with no other option. Since that is the case, then I will fulfill their wish and come to test your combat power first."
After the Tenth Prince finishes speaking, his body blurs, and the next instant, his expression twists, and a heaven-shaking aura revives on him, erupting boomingly.
The heavens and earth change color, and the wind and clouds surge.
This aura stirs the wind and clouds, causing the Ancient Emperor Star to roar, and the outside is the same.
Under this aura, Return to Void trembles, and Spirit-Nurturing is suppressed, because that is the aura of an Overlord.
It is power on par with what the Human Emperor just displayed.
And the Tenth Prince's expression calms down after a few breaths.
His face changes, replaced by another appearance.
A single eye on the forehead, purple-black skin, exactly the same as the four Heaven-Swallowing Clan members who appeared earlier.
"Human Emperor."
The Tenth Prince speaks slowly.
"Heaven-Swallowing Emperor."
The Human Emperor is calm; two Overlord auras collide on the sky at this moment, tearing the void, shaking the universe, looking like it is about to break out at any moment.
But just at this moment, the Eleventh Prince's eyes suddenly reveal a gloomy glint, and he raises his hand to take out a small silver bottle.
"Father Emperor, for this battle between you and the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor, I will add something for you; I think it will be more perfect."
The object he holds is exactly the Dawn Sun that was stolen years ago.
"Although you haven't made a move since you ascended the throne, before you ascended, you had many life-and-death battles with alien races, and over these years, I have spent incomparable costs, finally collecting a drop of your blood, Father Emperor."
"With this blood, I form the Life-Blocking Curse."
As the Eleventh Prince speaks, he crushes the silver bottle in his hand...
The silver bottle shatters into pieces, and a drop of fresh blood is revealed within.
Once this blood appears, the rich royal bloodline aura of the human race soars to the sky.
After sensing it, most people's expressions change.
That is indeed the Human Emperor's blood.
And those shattered silver bottle fragments do not scatter at this moment, but rotate rapidly around the fresh blood, manifesting silver maggots, emitting miserable sounds, and rushing into the fresh blood.
After crazily devouring, they transform into a ferocious centipede, swallowing the maggots in one bite.
Then the centipede's tail flicks, becoming a gloomy skeleton, opening its mouth wide to swallow the centipede.
Then the skeleton collapses, and a small black person falls out, emitting the aura of a god, spitting a piece of black mist toward the collapsed skeleton.
This mist envelops the skeleton, then the small person burns all over, actually diving into it.
The next instant, the black mist shrinks violently, eventually turning into a drop of black fresh blood.
The stench of decay is exceptionally intense on this black fresh blood.
It is even vaguely visible that within this black fresh blood, there exists a blurred figure, looking exactly like the Human Emperor.
A thick sense of curse forms within.
This is not a simple curse.
Xu Qing's eyes narrow; he sees that this is a terrifying divine curse. The Eleventh Prince reveals a smile on his face, looking at the Human Emperor and speaking softly.
"Father Emperor, I have two more gifts to give you; this is the first. If you can persist, you will be able to see my final gift, but I think under this divine curse, facing the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor of the same realm, your vitality, Father Emperor, is not much left."
As the Eleventh speaks, he pinches a seal with his right hand and points toward the black fresh blood.
Immediately, this black fresh blood burns instantly.
Following this, the Human Emperor figure within this drop of blood twists immediately, and painful, miserable sounds echo within.
Eventually, it turns into a line of destiny, flying instantly toward the Human Emperor bound by iron chains, directly merging into his body.
But the next instant, this line of destiny actually flies out from the Human Emperor's forehead again, as if it cannot find a target.
Then it searches in mid-air for a while, actually heading straight for the depths of the Ancient Emperor Star...
"Curse successful."
But all the cultivators who see this scene have the greatest storm so far rise in their hearts at this instant.
Xu Qing is also stunned, his heart and mind roaring.
Because an incredible, even inconceivable, beyond-cognition, almost impossible guess instinctively emerges in everyone's hearts.
The Eleventh Prince's expression changes completely; although many of his previous expressions were deliberate, at this instant, it is incomparably real.
He is like being struck by heavenly thunder, his body trembling, instinctively retreating a few steps, his eyes filled with disbelief, and even a sense of absurdity roaring in his heart like a storm.
"You... you... you are just standing there?"
"This curse locks onto destiny, but how could it go in another direction? Could it be that you have some method to change the line of destiny?"
"Or perhaps you... impossible."
He ultimately cannot believe the absurd feeling in his heart.
And the Human Emperor has not looked at the Eleventh Prince from beginning to end; at this moment, looking at the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor whose expression has become heavy, he speaks indifferently.
"The child's temper is a bit big; I let you see a joke."
"However, today's farce should indeed end."
"Since they let you come to test my true combat power, then I will let you and them see it."
As the Human Emperor's calm voice rises and falls, the destiny iron chains wrapped around him break one by one; every time one breaks, his aura surges by a few points. In the blink of an eye, the heavens roar, a strong wind blows, and a terrifying pressure rises from him, shocking the world.
"Since I attained the Dao, I have not made a move in front of the world. Today, Fellow Daoist Heaven-Swallowing, look clearly; I will only make one move."
After this final sentence is finished, the last iron chain on the Human Emperor's body suddenly breaks.
An aura even more vast than before soars to the sky from him.
At this moment, the Ancient Emperor Star is shaken, the Imperial Capital is shaken, and the Domain is shaken.
The Human Emperor raises his right hand, just like when he suppressed the Dawn Sun, but this time the palm that appears is not on the sky of the Ancient Emperor Star, but outside the Ancient Emperor Star.
The sky of the Human Imperial Capital instantly turns pitch black, a giant hand with no end in sight covers the sky, falling with an indescribable vast momentum.
The void collapses, the sky shatters into pieces, the earth trembles, the mountains are crushed; this scene is one hand covering the sky, and gods are nothing more than this.
Following the fall, this giant hand, at an incredible speed, falls onto the Ancient Emperor Star at the moment of infinite pressure.
It actually grabs the Ancient Emperor Star in its palm, and with one squeeze, the entire Ancient Emperor Star roars, and everyone within has a feeling of the world shaking.
The Heaven-Swallowing Emperor's expression becomes even more horrified.
His breathing is rapid, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief, his body retreating fiercely, and a blurred shadow appears on his face, as if he wants to leave this body.
There is even a sense of teleportation rising within.
He actually wants to escape at the first moment, but it is clearly too late.
That vast giant hand that holds the Ancient Emperor Star penetrates the star, not harming anyone, but sweeping across in front of the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor like the heavens and earth.
"I will send you on your way."
An illusory figure is forcefully blasted out from the Tenth Prince's body, turning into the appearance of the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor, constantly collapsing, constantly forming, and constantly rolling back.
Cycling like this, eventually after collapsing continuously for at least a thousand times, the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor's soul shadow is completely shattered.
"Today I destroy your split soul; if you do not send it to the clan domain within half a month, I will tear the void and descend upon your clan personally."
The Human Emperor speaks indifferently.
At this moment, the dominance is overwhelming.
The human race is silent, everyone's heart and mind falling into an unprecedented blankness.
They know the Human Emperor is strong, but to be strong to the point of being able to suppress another Overlord is somewhat horrifying.
And this suppression is a complete crushing.
And Xu Qing, at this moment, also has his heart trembling; he has seen other Overlords.
Li Zihua is an Overlord.
Overlords also have levels.
Early, mid, late, and peak; the combat power must have a huge gap.
This hand gives me a feeling not much different from Li Zihua back then.
Could the Human Emperor be at the peak of the Overlord realm?
Xu Qing mutters in his heart, a sense of unreality rising strongly in his heart.
According to his cognition, the Overlord realm, in the current Wanggu Continent, requires bloodline and destiny to have even a sliver of a chance to advance.
But that is only the early stage; as for the peak, under the attention of various strong clans in the Wanggu Continent, it almost does not exist.
Therefore, when a peak Overlord protector appeared during the advancement of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan's Sun-Moon-Star God, it caused huge ripples among all clans in Wanggu.
Subsequent investigations have always been ongoing; whether it is strong clans or various gods, they all want to know who that peak Overlord who can shield all-knowing is.
Because in the system of cultivators, Overlords are rare today; if they reach the peak, then various gods will certainly not allow it.
"Could it be..."
Xu Qing looks at the Human Emperor abruptly.
And the Human Emperor standing in mid-air at this moment walks down step by step, eventually standing on the Altar of Heaven.
That is the position where he was sacrificing to ancestors earlier; there, he turns around, his gaze falling on the Eleventh Prince, who is lost and dejected, just like at the beginning.
"Little Eleven, is there more?" ===== CHAPTER 894 =====
And at this moment, the Human Emperor, standing in mid-air, walked down step by step, finally standing upon the Altar of Heaven.
It was the same position where he had previously offered sacrifices to his ancestors; there, he turned around, his gaze falling upon the dejected and soul-lost Eleventh Imperial Prince, just as it had been at the beginning.
"Little Eleven, are there any more?"
