Chapter 176: The Wushi Suddenly Appears

Seeing these fellows, Yang Zhu could not help but his eyes turned cold.

In the original work, that spirit on the war chariot was arrogant and overbearing, belittling the human race and everyone present to nothing.

"How dare you disturb our clan's immortal ancient emperor? You're seeking death!"

On the ancient war chariot stood a humanoid spirit over a foot tall, like a deity, surrounded by one hundred and eight divine halos, with a terrifying might that almost shook the void.

"An ancient emperor? Could it be that a great emperor truly still exists in the world?"

The Yaochi Saintess was slightly surprised, her gaze questioning as she looked at Yang Zhu.

"What emperor? Just a piece of unrefined stone that hasn't attained the Dao."

Yang Zhu's words were calm, full of disdain, not deliberately shown, but rather a natural expression.

"How presumptuous! You, a mere ant of the human race, dare to speak rudely to our clan's emperor; just this alone is enough to kill you hundreds of times!"

Seeing this person so casual, the humanoid spirit did not even regard his clan's ancient emperor, considering it a blasphemy against the gods, unforgivable!

"You have no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth; seeing the Son of the Wushi Emperor, you still don't come to pay homage?"

Although Gai Jiuyou looked sickly, his eyes were now exceptionally clear, bearing a compelling intimidation.

"Wushi Great Emperor..."

Upon hearing the two words "Wushi", the humanoid spirit trembled violently, its breath sank, eyes filled with terror.

The Wushi Great Emperor, the strongest emperor in history, the two words "Wushi" are practically synonymous with invincibility, invincible in heaven and earth, sweeping across the six directions and eight wildernesses!

Yang Zhu stood with hands behind his back, like a mysterious presence amidst the dust, beyond precious.

"So what if... the Wushi Great Emperor has already passed away; he cannot do anything to our clan's emperor!"

After a moment, the humanoid creature somehow found courage and returned to its earlier arrogant blaze.

As the sound fell, towering divine light rushed out from the Myriad Ancient Dragon Cave, and an ancient dragon chariot flew out from the cave with a rumble, grand in momentum.

On the dragon chariot was a being radiating divine light all over, unlike the previous humanoid spirit, but having a normal human form.

That person wore a crown and dressed in ancient holy robes, like a deity, making one shudder; this is that "emperor".

"I am the Immortal Divine Emperor of Zhongzhou! Who are you the son of?"

The Immortal Divine Emperor gave a soft shout, like a deity, and the whole space trembled as if being rolled up.

If not for a layer of soft light emanating from Yang Zhu's body blocking that terrifying pressure, several people could not have withstood it.

"Son of the Wushi Great Emperor, Yang Zhu."

Yang Zhu, protected within the halo, was calm and unafraid, after all the person opposite could not be an ancient emperor.

For a moment, the Immortal Divine Emperor of Zhongzhou did not speak, his eyes deep, wanting to see through Yang Zhu to discern reality from illusion.

Who would have thought the next moment, Yang Zhu's body radiated a precious glow, and nine brilliant golden characters burst from within him, shining in the void.

The nine characters were exquisitely complex, imbued with the rhythm of the Dao, each drop emanating the might of the Wushi Emperor, like an ancient emperor appearing before one's eyes, causing shivers.

"Wushi Great Emperor's essence blood!"

The Immortal Divine Emperor's expression shifted, a flash of panic crossing his face; the nine characters before him were all carved from the Wushi Great Emperor's essence blood, such quantity enough to explain everything.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a towering surge swept across the eight wildernesses, the nine characters shone, pouring down billions of strands of immortal light, and in the next moment a figure stepped out.

He was a towering figure, heroic and awe-inspiring, with thick black hair and wise eyes that could see through everything; his every move made the myriad ways of heaven and earth tremble and wail, his bearing unmatched worldwide. Above his head hung a Chaos Great Bell, misty and veiling his visage; at that moment, time ceased to flow.

"At the end of the immortal path, who is the peak? Upon seeing the Wushi Dao, it becomes empty!"

The Wushi Great Emperor has come; a sliver of killing intent stored in his essence blood has revived.

"Not good!"

The being who called himself the Immortal Divine Emperor of Zhongzhou, upon seeing this figure, was terrified to the extreme, turning to flee.

But the Wushi Great Emperor moved.

Standing beneath the Chaos Great Bell, he merely extended a finger, and the entire star river fell down, the laws of heaven and earth trembling violently, as if in resonance.

That figure looked down upon all under heaven, gazed over the vast cosmos; nothing could withstand his unparalleled divine might.

Boom! The Immortal Divine Emperor exhausted countless means to pierce the void and escape, but to no avail; after a soft sound, he was ground to flying ash, body and spirit destroyed! "Pay respects to the Wushi Great Emperor!"

Witnessing this, and then looking up at that divine mighty figure, Gai Jiuyou and the Yaochi Saintess felt their hearts surge, shocked beyond control, they involuntarily bowed down.

Although it was only a strand of killing intent, it was that of the Wushi Great Emperor; that was enough!

"Father..."

Yang Zhu called out softly, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart surged like waves, thoughts tumultuous, unable to settle.

"Everything follows the heart."

The Wushi Great Emperor's killing intent glanced back, gave a slight nod, without many words; all deep meaning lay in that glance.

Afterwards, he walked step by step with hands behind his back toward the Netherworld, disappearing from sight.

(Wushi Great Emperor: "My essence blood is full of killing intent; wanting to meet is just a casual matter.") "Under the emperor, you don't even deserve to meet my father; even if a true emperor existed in the world, he'd have to be wary of my father threefold, and you dare show even a hint of disrespect over that worthless stone?"

Yang Zhu gathered his thoughts, coldly looking down at the humanoid spirit, each word moving in tandem with the Dao, like heavenly tones descending, shaking the other's heart and spirit.

Under the Wushi Great Emperor's imperial might just moments before, the humanoid spirit trembled like a nail, prostrating itself with all five limbs on the ground, daring not to look up.

Boom! The Wushi Scripture and All-Character Secret turned, Yang Zhu's hand glowing brilliant gold, he struck with a palm, bang, blasting the opponent away.

The war chariot and the path-opening little ones exploded in this strike, turning into countless tiny crystals.

Meanwhile, the humanoid spirit was violently flung, slamming into a mountain tens of zhang high, accompanied by a cracking sound, its whole body covered in dense cracks.

"Kneel over here."

Yang Zhu's black hair flowed like a waterfall, his eyes like cold lightning, as if the emperor inspecting, sacred and solemn, allowing no blasphemy.

"Son... it's this lowly creature of mine that lacks eyes; I beg you to spare my petty life once..."

The humanoid spirit had completely lost its earlier arrogant blaze; now it knelt on the ground, inching forward bit by bit.

"Purple Mountain suppresses countless ancient royal clans; which of them isn't stronger than you? They wouldn't dare offend me in the slightest, yet you, a mere gatekeeper, dare to boast of killing me?"

Yang Zhu's voice was not loud, yet it poured down like endless heavenly sounds, like sweet dew poured on the crown, causing that creature to shudder without cold.

"I, this kind of ant, am unaware of the Imperial Prince's identity..."

He still wanted to say something, but Yang Zhu no longer paid attention, unleashing the Beginningless Seal, grinding the opponent to ash.

(Gai Jiuyou: Serves him right; I, a Quasi-Emperor, dare not show the slightest disrespect.) (End of chapter)
