Chapter 151: Slaying the Great Emperors
For these Great Emperors who have lived for tens of thousands of years, which one of them is not a mass murderer? As the saying goes, the success of one general is built upon ten thousand bones; for a Great Emperor to grow, they must step upon the corpses of countless peers of their generation.
The resources of this world are limited. Every time they break through a realm, they must contend with countless others. Only by fighting to the death can they seize opportunities time and time again.
Once they become Great Emperors and are sealed as God Messengers, they stand at the pinnacle of this world and do not care at all about the life or death of those low-level cultivators.
As the saying goes, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let one go. Just how formidable this God-Slayer named Han Yu is can be seen from the God Messengers who met their end on the King Realm battlefield.
If he were truly allowed to grow completely, it would absolutely be a nightmare for these God Messengers.
They would definitely be wiped out by this God-Slayer, and everything they have today, obtained through exhausting all their efforts, would cease to exist.
Therefore, Han Yu must die, and these low-level cultivators are merely fish caught in the crossfire.
Under the crushing weight of the rolling Dao Rhyme, the living beings of several prefectures were completely erased. The few lower prefectures that were originally full of vitality have now completely turned into lands of death and silence.
Countless lingering resentments of the dead permeated this place, eroding toward those few Great Emperors. This is the power of humanity's evil karma, which can also be called the backlash of humanity's luck.
Although humanity's path is called the path of humanity, to be precise, it should be called the path of living beings.
When the living beings in a place are stronger and more numerous, it is often more prosperous, and over time, the luck of humanity will also be stronger.
Most of the national luck mastered by those who rule a certain region is the luck of humanity. As long as they can ensure the stability of the ruled region and the ruled do not have too much resentment, the ruler can enjoy the blessing of national luck and borrow power from Heaven and Earth to cultivate.
By the same token, when a ruler disregards the life and death of the ruled, or when a cultivator slaughters too many living beings, they will likewise suffer the backlash of the local humanity's luck.
At this moment, the number of living beings slaughtered by the few Great Emperors is in the hundreds of millions. The power of that humanity's evil karma is terrifying. If an ordinary Great Emperor were eroded by these forces, they would at the very least breed inner demons, which would be greatly detrimental to their own cultivation.
Unfortunately, these Great Emperors are not ordinary cultivators; they have another identity: they are God Messengers!
God Messengers have divine power upon their bodies; evil karma cannot be added to them!
One could see divine light erupting from the bodies of the few Great Emperors; all the humanity's evil karma could not approach within half an inch, and just like darkness being expelled by light, they all avoided them.
"Heh, ridiculous. You ants, to think you still want to turn into karmic force to entangle us after death? Be extinguished!"
One Great Emperor seemed very dissatisfied. In his view, these dead living beings daring to harbor resentment toward him and letting karmic force devour him was a great disrespect to him.
Divine light erupted around his body, and under the operation of divine power, the surrounding surging dark karmic force was all dissolved. One could vaguely hear the wails of countless living beings entangled within that karmic force.
Although most of them were erased by that Dao Rhyme in an instant, the resentment produced by death cannot be underestimated; it is the most taboo thing engraved in the bones of living beings.
Therefore, even if it was only for a moment, they instinctively produced resentment toward those few Great Emperors. The resentment of hundreds of millions of living beings is especially terrifying and is enough to trigger the backlash of humanity.
But unfortunately, these Great Emperors have divine power protection; this bit of humanity's karmic force is not enough to pose a threat to them.
Seeing that Great Emperor frantically operating his divine power to erase the resentment of the dead, another Great Emperor immediately urged: "Enough, there is no need to waste power on the resentment of these ants. There are still so many prefectures left."
It is very clear that these Great Emperors intend to wipe out all the dozens of prefectures in this space-locked area; all living beings will have no way to survive.
Their speed is very fast. In this space-locked area, although they cannot use space-escaping techniques, because it is their power that is locking the space, they can achieve speeds close to teleportation here.
Moreover, if other cultivators use escaping techniques in this space-locked area, or even if their speed is too fast, they will be sensed, so they are not afraid of Han Yu running away.
The only thing they are worried about is the opponent hiding among the crowd. Now, what they are solving is this concern.
As long as all living beings are wiped out, there is no need to worry about the opponent hiding among them.
In a single thought, the God Messengers arrived at several other prefectures. These prefectures were adjacent to the ones they had just erased, and everything that happened there had already been sensed by the cultivators here.
Everyone was frightened and fled in panic. The sky was filled with cultivators like locusts, whose speed was as slow as snails in the eyes of the Emperor Realm.
The few Great Emperors followed suit, spreading Dao Rhyme to cover the area they were in. In the blink of an eye, several prefectures were covered by Dao Rhyme.
The few were all water-system cultivators, and the power of the water-system Great Dao in this coastal area was particularly abundant. As the saying goes, Dao Rhyme is a trace of spiritual rhyme borrowed from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so in such a place, they only needed to display water-system Dao Rhyme, which was like the descent of Heavenly Dao to these cultivators below the Emperor Realm!
Under the attacks of the few Great Emperors, one cultivator after another bloomed like blood-mist fireworks in mid-air. The scene was very bloody and full of a strange aesthetic.
No matter how they screamed, no matter how they wailed, it was of no avail.
The Great Emperors had no mercy and only knew how to slaughter blindly.
And the commotion happening here had long been captured by Han Yu. His divine sense condensed into lines, which could radiate to the surrounding several prefectures.
Sensing the cruel actions of those Great Emperors, Han Yu was also quite emotional. Compared to these Great Emperors, he was practically a living Buddha in the world; he was truly too kind.
Looking at those innocently slaughtered cultivators, Han Yu could not bear it. After all, strictly speaking, these people were all implicated by him.
Although Han Yu had no moral burden, for him, this was also a good opportunity to wipe out those few Great Emperors.
"Only five Emperor Realms, and they dare to come and surround me? Heh..."
Han Yu smiled in his heart. He immediately gave some instructions to Liu Ruyan, left some defensive measures for her, and then went away on his sword.
Now he could not use space-escaping techniques, so sword-riding was the fastest way.
Han Yu's basic cultivation was already at the hundredth layer of the Emperor Realm. If converted to the Wen Immortal Dao state, it would be equivalent to the Emperor Realm, mastering the Dao Rhyme and Law power of the Painting God Dao.
But Han Yu did not convert to the Wen Immortal Dao state at the beginning, but maintained the state of an Emperor Realm Qi Refining cultivator and galloped toward the nearest Great Emperor.
Even if it was just sword-riding flight, his speed was very fast, already exceeding that of an ordinary Venerable Realm, at least reaching the Battle Venerable level.
This terrifying flight speed naturally attracted the attention of the Great Emperors.
"Such fast speed, it must be that God-Slayer. Has he finally been unable to hold back?"
The Great Emperor who first sensed the abnormality sneered in his heart.
"Interesting. He is not fleeing in other directions, but coming toward me. Could it be that he thinks he has the qualifications to fight me?"
"Truly worthy of being the most troublesome God-Slayer. A mere Emperor Realm can erupt with Battle Venerable-level power. No wonder those Wen Dao God Messengers were completely wiped out."
"It's just a pity that this is not the King Realm battlefield. Since you dare to show your face, no matter how strong you are, you must die!"
This water-system Great Emperor did not hesitate and also flew toward Han Yu's direction.
His speed was faster than Han Yu's. Comparing the two, if Han Yu was walking, he was running.
The moment before flying toward Han Yu, he also used divine sense transmission to inform the other few Great Emperors.
Those Great Emperors were originally operating Dao Rhyme to wipe out ordinary cultivators. Hearing his transmission, they did not dare to hesitate and immediately flew toward the direction informed by that God Messenger.
The divine senses of these Great Emperors were all connected to each other in lines, so they could communicate over longer distances. If they scattered their divine senses in all directions, searching for the enemy might be more careful, but the coverage area would be too small.
This way of condensing divine sense into lines was enough for them to communicate instantly across the distance of dozens of prefectures, so they could completely surround Han Yu. No matter which direction the opponent fled, he would not be able to escape.
At this time, in the perception of the few Great Emperors, the Great Emperor who first discovered Han Yu had already collided with the opponent. They could use their divine senses to probe the scene within a certain range around the opponent.
"Hold him down first. This God-Slayer cannot be underestimated. Do not underestimate the enemy!"
A God Messenger immediately transmitted a reminder. Without him saying much, the God Messenger who first discovered Han Yu had no intention of underestimating the enemy. He knew that even a lion hunting a rabbit uses its full strength, let alone this was a God-Slayer.
So he did not hesitate at all, and the moment they met, he unfolded all his means.
The Primordial Spirit Dharma Image of the Emperor Realm appeared suddenly, and the whole world shook. A vast domain spread out, instantly turning this place into a real vast ocean. Countless water waves surged and billowed, and solidified Law power surged within it. Touching it slightly would result in being shredded by this Law.
"God-Slayer—die!"
The Dharma Image of this water-system Great Emperor roared. The Dharma Image, which was as large as ten million zhang, was as huge as a star, looking majestic and rolling. Its whole body was water-blue, surrounded by infinite Dao Rhyme.
A long spear condensed by Law stabbed toward Han Yu. Even though the surrounding space had been locked, it made a harsh friction sound, like cut glass. This sound also contained powerful might, enough to make ordinary cultivators bleed from their seven orifices and die.
Han Yu also did not hold back. In an instant, he also activated his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image and unfolded the domain and true intent of his current state.
His domain range was much smaller compared to the Emperor Realm. The domain of that water-system Great Emperor was more than ten times his size, completely wrapping him within it.
But Han Yu's domain and true intent were incomparably solid. If the water-system Great Emperor's domain and true intent were a pond made of water, then Han Yu's domain was a cabinet made of refined iron in the pond.
If it were an ordinary Emperor Realm domain wrapped by an Emperor Realm domain, it would probably collapse instantly.
But Han Yu's domain could remain motionless in the water-system Great Emperor's domain, and no matter how the surrounding waves surged, it remained incomparably stable.
Seeing this scene, the water-system Great Emperor was shocked in his heart, secretly sighing at the terror of the God-Slayer.
The thought was only in a single thought, and his long spear condensed by Law fell onto Han Yu's domain.
Suddenly, Han Yu's incomparably solid domain was directly pierced by the long spear condensed by Law, leaving a gap.
"So what if you are a God-Slayer? You are only a mere Emperor Realm. I have Law and Dao Rhyme; you will definitely die today!"
Seeing this scene, the water-system Great Emperor felt his confidence greatly boosted.
That's right, no matter how strong the God-Slayer is, he is still in the same realm. After all, there is still a gap of two major realms between them. He masters two realm means, Law and Dao Rhyme; the opponent simply cannot resist! ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
