Chapter 270: Immortal Emperor Blood Comes from the Future Huang Tian Emperor—Ten Drops, a Hundred Drops, Aren't You Going to Blow the

~8 min read 1,551 words

The scene continued to shift:

【The moment this king's words fell】

【The atmosphere across the Border Wilderness instantly grew tense, and my mount bolted backward in retreat】

【Clearly, it feared that if I fought the man who had come treading atop a cauldron, it itself would be obliterated by the shockwaves—but I want to say there was no way we'd actually fight~】

【I knew it—the man who came treading atop a cauldron didn't want to fight; otherwise he would have struck long ago】

【A dilemma—to kill or not to kill?】

【At this moment, the cauldron-treading man spoke again】

【But I had clearly seen through his posturing, so I gave him a way out and said: If you wanted to fight, you wouldn't have hesitated. Go back. The time you can stay is running short. I have a premonition...】

【We shall meet in the future, and there shall be a battle!】

【At this, the living beings of my realm were somewhat puzzled; they hoped I would make a move, but I didn't want to explain too much, and my good buddy showed up】

【Yutuo explained to the crowd: They belong to different spacetime. If Immortal King-level experts go to war, it will cause the years to fall into chaos, the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack—everything might cease to exist. So this battle cannot be fought!】

【I knew Yutuo's explanation was meant to steady morale; otherwise the Undying of my realm would be displeased】

【So I spoke to the cauldron-treading man once more: It seems you have no shortage of opponents in that spacetime】

【Only thus can one forge an invincible body】

【The cauldron-treading man laughed freely, which surprised me somewhat, and at the same time earned a measure of my admiration】

After all, to treat a great battle as enjoyment, as tempering—this is a carefree spirit few ordinary people possess. Even among the various kings of my realm, those like him are extremely rare.

【But the cauldron-treading man lingered without leaving, and my patience ran out, so I spoke once more】

【Withdraw. The past cannot be altered. If you remain obstinate, don't blame this king for showing no mercy】

【At this, the cauldron-treading man also agreed with my words—he and I do not belong to the same spacetime; he truly could not change anything, nor do anything】

【But the next words he spoke left me somewhat puzzled. He suddenly mentioned: This was his first time treading upon the long river of years, but unluckily, neither of these two eras was the era he had wished to witness】

【Yet he discovered that there was a single drop of blood akin to his own, belonging to this very epoch, which had once accompanied him—but in the end it inexplicably reversed course and returned to this world】

【Naturally, I was dismissive of this】

【So what if it's one drop of blood—even ten drops, a hundred drops? Can a single drop of blood cause trouble?】

【So I once more told the cauldron-treading man to leave. Staying in this spacetime would do him no good; even if I didn't drive him away, he himself would perish here】

【But what I didn't expect was...】

【This cauldron-treading man actually dared to strike. He activated his great cauldron and, heedless of the consequences of spacetime collapse, pressed toward me. But I was unafraid—I didn't believe he would truly attack】

【And the final result was just as I expected—he was merely feigning an attacking posture...】

【At that moment, the great cauldron was only 0.01 centimeters from me, yet I remained unafraid, because I knew he wouldn't dare. But he had provoked me like this!】

【This couldn't help but displease the great army of my realm, and it displeased me as well, so I chose to make a move】

【My Crimson Spear thrust forward...】

【It came within a hair's breadth of clashing with the great cauldron, but at the critical moment the great cauldron dodged. So I pointed the Crimson Spear at the cauldron-treading man's chest and said】

【Go ahead and try!】

【At worst the heavens overturn and the earth flips, ten thousand ages turn to nothing. Today I'll let you know what it means that a king cannot be insulted】

【Honestly, I had only wanted to show off, but I didn't expect this cauldron-treading man to actually want to fight. So I grew uneasy and could only order the millions-strong army to retreat】

【Of course, I wasn't afraid of this cauldron-treading man—I was only afraid that everything would turn to nothing across ten thousand ages】

【Sure enough...】

【As I and the cauldron-treading man were about to clash】

Everything around began to turn void—whether the Nine Heavens, the Imperial Pass, the millions-strong army of my realm, or even this entire stretch of spacetime.

【At this moment all of it dimmed, becoming illusory, as if it could vanish at any instant】

【Stop at once!】

【At this moment, Yutuo couldn't help but shout loudly】

【But just as I and the cauldron-treading man were about to collide, an anomaly occurred. The single drop of blood he had mentioned earlier displayed its might, causing a strange change in Huang!】

【It was a drop of eerie blood pearl...】

【Dazzling and blinding, brilliant radiance continuously spilling forth, as if about to transform into a sea of blood】

【That supreme, terrifying power and transformation instantly drew everyone's attention on the scene; even I and the cauldron-treading man halted our clash because of it】

【Roar!】

【As Huang let out a great roar】

【Three Great Dao flowers appeared above his head, and the little figure atop the first flower abruptly opened its eyes】

【As if born in the past, its appearance grew increasingly mysterious, giving off an unfathomable feeling. And the little figure atop the second flower was even stranger】

【It had originally been locked by Primordial Qi, but by borrowing the power of this drop of blood it broke free of its shackles and gained liberty】

【But the most crucial was the third flower】

【The little figure atop it, as that drop of blood swept across from above, saw its blurred form grow clear, and an overwhelming, majestic aura burst forth】

【In the end, the three little figures were wrapped by the Reincarnation Seal on Huang's body, fusing together with the Emperor Blood into his body】

【Huang at this moment was terrifying!】

【It is no exaggeration to say he already possessed Immortal King-level mighty power—even I had to be wary!】

【At first I didn't know. I thought the drop of blood the cauldron-treading man mentioned was at most Immortal King blood—even now, having witnessed it, I still think so】

【But in fact it wasn't. This drop of blood was not Immortal King blood—it was a drop of Immortal Emperor blood!】

【This drop of blood came from the Huang of the future!】

In an instant, the barrage section boiled over:

"Haha, wasn't that Jin Beimang way too cowardly? Wasn't he being awfully arrogant earlier? Why's he running so fast now, scared of being wiped out by the shockwaves!"

"I don't get it. Ye Tiandi clearly doesn't want to fight, but he's been dragging his feet the whole time. Is he stalling? But what's he stalling for?"

"Maybe it's because of that drop of Immortal Emperor blood. After all, didn't he mention that drop of blood earlier?"

"That must be it. Later, Emperor Huang Tian will use that drop of Immortal Emperor blood to drive back An Lan and the others. So Ye Tiandi stalling now must be to let the Emperor's blood unleash its power!"

"Tch, this An Lan really saw through Ye Tiandi's intention, but he probably didn't expect Ye Tiandi was deliberately stalling. It's just that in the future there's a battle to be fought..."

"How did An Lan know? That's amazing — he even predicted that Emperor Huang Tian would later use his Transformation Freedom to manifest Ye Tiandi and fight him?"

"Truly worthy of being Ye Tiandi. Even facing such an incomparably dire predicament in the future, he still treats it as tempering, and even more, he means to forge an invincible body from it!"

"Perhaps this is the reason Ye Tiandi was able to reach Quasi-Immortal Emperor. I believe Ye Tiandi and the others will definitely pull through. Isn't it just a Path-End-level Immortal Emperor?"

"Since the Soul River army has a true Immortal Emperor on their side, it's simple — Ye Tiandi just becomes an Emperor, right?"

"Pfft, I'm dying of laughter. These two are way too funny? One after another they're both provoking each other, but in the end neither of them actually made a move — all bark and no bite!"

"Huh? A drop of blood similar to Ye Tiandi's, but belonging to this epoch — what does that mean?"

"Not sure, but it should be talking about that drop of Immortal Emperor blood Emperor Huang Tian borrowed. Could it be that the master of that drop of Immortal Emperor blood is connected to Ye Hei?"

"Damn, Ye Tiandi is this brave? He just chose to strike, too bad it never actually came to blows in the end!"

"Haha, Ye Tiandi is still that same Ye Hei — even at a moment like this he still has the mood to joke around, scared An Lan into an instant stress response!"
