Chapter 42: Observing Stars Great Emperor, Defending the Imperial Pass to the Death!

Beyond the Human Clan Imperial Pass, across several million li, the God Clan ran rampant over the land.

On the devastated earth, the Human Clan fled in all directions.

On the Imperial Pass, people from the various Holy Lands and Sects gazed upon all this, their faces filled with sorrow.

"This time the God Clan seems to have come to exterminate us."

"There's nothing we can do; too many heaven-defying geniuses have been born among our Human Clan, and they sense the threat."

"Lately too many people have flooded into the Imperial Pass; if this continues, the Imperial Pass won't hold out much longer."

"Moreover, those few supreme beings of the God Clan have not yet shown themselves; if they act, how many more days could the Imperial Pass withstand?"

On the city walls, the elders of many Holy Lands looked utterly pessimistic, after all, the gap between the Human Clan and the God Clan is truly enormous.

"Let alone taking the offensive and fighting them; even holding the Imperial Pass is a luxury."

"Boom! Streams of divine light bombarded the great formation on the Imperial Pass; the terrifying impact made countless hearts tremble."

"Hehehe, I want to see how long you, a bunch of Human Clan wastes, can last holed up in the Imperial Pass!"

"A God Clan Supreme tore open the void and descended, coldly gazing at the Imperial Pass."

"In his eyes, the Human Clan now is simply too weak, too weak."

"Without a Human Clan Great Emperor, this Imperial Pass would be at most a giant turtle shell, albeit hard."

"But one day, they will be able to blast it to pieces."

"That God Clan Supreme sneered incessantly; behind him stretched the vast God Clan army."

"Dense and endless, they encircled the Human Clan Imperial Pass, which stretched for hundreds of thousands of li, in an impenetrable ring."

"On the city walls, the faces of the elders of many Holy Lands turned deathly pale."

"This… this is a God Clan Supreme, comparable to a Human Clan powerhouse on earth!"

"Shouldn't our Sect Elders and many powerhouses have stopped these people?"

"It's been nearly half a year now; how could there be no trace of them?"

"The God Clan Supreme in the distance seemed to see through what those people were thinking."

"A cold, gloomy gaze fell upon them, revealing a mocking expression."

"You aren't still hoping your Sect Master and Elders will come reinforce the Imperial Pass, are you?"

"You think, with their level of strength, how could they have survived until now?"

"He curled his lips into a vicious grin, filling everyone's hearts with an ominous foreboding."

"Afterward, that God Clan Supreme reached out and tore something from the void."

"A string of bloody heads was then brought out."

"This sight nearly made everyone on the city walls feel like they were collapsing."

"Impossible, impossible! That is our Sect Leader, whose strength is unfathomable—how could the God Clan have beheaded him!"

"Wang Family Seventh Young Master, it's said he received the true transmission of a Great Emperor—yet even he died in battle?"

"And the one whose eyes were gouged out—could he be an Imperial Son, bearing the Great Emperor's bloodline, yet he too was slain!"

"It's over, the Human Clan is truly doomed; even these powerhouses have been slain—what hope does our Human Clan have left!"

"Many voices trembled as they looked at those heads, unable to accept it; some even saw their beloved kin and burst into tears."

"Gazing at the boundless, vast God Clan, despair filled their hearts to the extreme."

"Suddenly, a cold snort echoed through the skies above the Imperial Pass."

"You God Clan once made a pact with our Human Clan; we withdrew into the Eastern Wasteland to fend for ourselves."

"For a thousand years, both sides lived in peace!"

"Today you launch a massive invasion, slaughtering our Human Clan—could it be that you seek endless war?"

"A withered old man stepped out from within the Imperial Pass; his frame was gaunt, though aged, his aura remained terrifying."

"This… this is the Observing Stars Great Emperor; it's said he passed away in the Imperial Pass a thousand years ago, yet he is still alive!"

"The crowd exclaimed in astonishment; seeing the old man flick his sleeve, he turned into a beam of divine light and shoved the God Clan Supreme back."

"Old coot!"

"The God Clan Supreme steadied his form and suddenly lifted his fierce eyes."

"You're courting death!"

"The Observing Stars Great Emperor glanced at him indifferently and said."

"With just you, you can't kill me!"

"He had proven the Dao for a thousand years, studying immortal methods within the Imperial Pass; having survived the great tribulation, though his divine power was depleted, he could clearly feel that he had broken through some kind of shackle."

"A mere God Clan Supreme—he truly didn't take it to heart. But just then, several voices sounded from the void."

"What about us, then?"

"Outside the Imperial Pass, the void was torn apart, and terrifying streams of divine light poured down from the heavens."

"One God Clan Supreme after another, emanating extremely fierce auras, stepped forth and directly surrounded the Observing Stars Great Emperor."

"Even the Observing Stars Great Emperor's face turned grim."

"We've long known that the Human Clan Great Emperor possesses formidable strength."

"Now the thirty-six God Clan Supremes are acting together—this is already giving you plenty of face."

"Observing Stars Old Ghost, I'll send you on your way!"

"A God Clan Supreme spoke coldly; the invisible pressure made all of the Human Clan feel despair! 'Could it be that these God Clan descents are merely to lure our Human Clan Great Emperor into action?'"

"A single God Clan Supreme can already match a Great Emperor in battle; now that the thirty-six God Clan Supremes have descended, I fear even the Observing Stars Great Emperor cannot hold out."

"On the city walls, everyone's scalp went numb."

"At this moment, the Observing Stars Great Emperor has already plunged into melee with many God Clan members."

Terrifying divine abilities manifested one after another; although Guanxing Dadi was old and frail, he had after all broken his shackles, and for a moment actually withstood the opponent's storm‑like assault.

How terrifying! Is this the power of our Human Race Great Emperor?

With one person's strength, he battles thirty‑six supremes without yielding!

What a pity, our human race is lacking in talent; if we had a few more strong ones, what would we fear from the God Clan?

Many sighed in their hearts.

Yet above the firmament, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The Human Race Great Emperor's power is indeed terrifying!

At such an advanced age to still have such methods—looks like we can't let you live!

I've long said, the human race must eradicate the root, otherwise they will occasionally produce monsters!

Guanxing Lao Gui, you with one person's strength have held us off for so long; even in death, you can be proud!

Everyone, attack!

Boom! Above the firmament, many God Clan supremes joined forces and directly severely injured Guanxing Dadi.

His shattered, blood‑coughing body plummeted straight onto the walls of the Imperial Pass.

The human crowd hurriedly gathered around.

Guanxing Dadi, however, supported his shattered body, continually coughing blood, yet still rose to his feet.

No… no need to worry about me.

I can still fight!

His eyes blood‑red, yet the crowd held him back.

Great Emperor, you must not fight again; if you truly die, how can our Human Race Imperial Pass be defended?

Hearing these words, Guanxing Dadi's blazing gaze instantly dimmed.

What the crowd said is correct; the God Clan army presses the border, and if he dies.

Such a great Imperial Pass would then totter on the brink of collapse.

Could it be that our human race truly has no room for maneuver?

He gazed outward from the Imperial Pass, his face showing despair.

He had painstakingly endured to this point, having broken his shackles; if only given a little more time, he could live a second life! By then, these human supremes would be like ants! But he has no time.

The human race has no time.

Facing the vast God Clan army, even with him holding the fort, they probably couldn't hold out for long.

Everyone fell silent at that moment.

When facing the God Clan, they seem to have only one path: retreat and surrender.

For three thousand years, countless humans have died in battle, yet they have still been driven to this eastern desolate ancient land.

Could it be that the human race's destiny is truly only destruction?

Just as everyone showed despair.

A loud, piercing voice rang throughout the Imperial Pass.

In the distance, countless war chariots and flying vessels, bearing bright red flags, came surging forward!
