Chapter 419: The Earth Emperor

Guyue Xianren looked at Duan Fengyun; he had originally intended to pass the Earth Emperor's cultivation power to Chen Jingchou after Chen Jingchou completed his trials, and then give the Fuxi Zither to Chen Jingchou to help him fulfill his mission as the Earth Emperor.

But now that Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny had been stripped away, his Earth Emperor cultivation power had also been preserved, and as for the Fuxi Zither, there was naturally no need to give it away anymore.

Yet now that Duan Fengyun wanted the Fuxi Zither, he had no choice but to give it.

After Chen Jingchou was stripped of the Earth Emperor Destiny, the responsibility of saving the Human Realm and resisting the Demon Realm would certainly fall upon the shoulders of Yuwen Tuo and Duan Fengyun.

Guyue had no reason not to give them the Fuxi Zither.

Guyue summoned with one hand toward the air, and instantly the Fuxi Zither appeared in Guyue's hand.

After Guyue looked at the Fuxi Zither and then at Duan Fengyun, Guyue said with a solemn face:

"Duan Fengyun, in my capacity as the previous Earth Emperor, I pass the Fuxi Zither to you, hoping that you and Yuwen Tuo can shoulder the responsibility of resisting the Demon Realm and saving the Human Realm!

Duan Fengyun, are you willing to shoulder this responsibility?"

Duan Fengyun put away his playful expression and, with a solemn face, took the Fuxi Zither and said:

"Duan Fengyun is willing to shoulder the responsibility of resisting the Demon Realm and saving the Human Realm."

As Duan Fengyun and Guyue completed the handover of the mission, a golden light emanated from Duan Fengyun's body.

Duan Fengyun felt as if something had been added to his body, but he could not put it into words.

Duan Fengyun looked at Guyue, because at this moment Guyue had his mouth wide open, looking at Duan Fengyun in disbelief.

Just a moment ago, after a burst of golden light, Guyue discovered that an aura had appeared on Duan Fengyun.

Guyue was all too familiar with this aura; it was the aura of an Earth Emperor chosen by the Human Realm.

In other words, the current Duan Fengyun had become the new Earth Emperor!

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Immortal, I feel as if something has been added inside my body!

But I cannot feel what exactly has been added!

Looking at your expression, you seem to know what is going on!

Tell me quickly, what has happened to me!"

Guyue saw the bewildered Duan Fengyun and finally saw him caught off guard.

Guyue laughed loudly:

"Haha, Duan Fengyun, oh Duan Fengyun, there is actually something you brat doesn't know.

That light just now was the radiance belonging to the Earth Emperor.

Just now, the Human Realm chose you; you have now become the new generation of the Earth Emperor!

Duan Fengyun, you are now the Earth Emperor, and you must shoulder the responsibility upon you even more.

Do not lose face for yourself and your master, the Yellow Emperor!"

Duan Fengyun pointed at himself in disbelief and said:

"What, you say I was chosen by the Human Realm and became the new Earth Emperor?"

Duan Fengyun had never dreamed that his previous actions would actually cause Chen Jingchou to lose his qualification as the Earth Emperor.

He also did not expect that after he agreed to shoulder the mission of saving the Human Realm just now, the Human Realm would choose him to become the Earth Emperor.

However, Duan Fengyun was never one to fear trouble; even without this identity as the Earth Emperor, he, Duan Fengyun, would still shoulder the responsibility of saving the Human Realm.

After thinking it through, Duan Fengyun said heroically:

"Fine, since the Human Realm has chosen me as this Earth Emperor.

Then I, Duan Fengyun, will definitely protect this Human Realm, and I will not lose face for my master, the Yellow Emperor.

Demon Realm, Demon Lord, bring it on!"

Yuwen Tuo looked at the heroic Duan Fengyun and sighed:

"I did not expect the Earth Emperor of this generation to be so full of twists and turns.

First, the Demon Lord changed my destiny, allowing Chen Jingchou to become the Earth Emperor.

Now everything has returned to the right track, and the Earth Emperor has fallen back to the personal disciple of the Patriarch Yellow Emperor.

Big Brother, I, Yuwen Tuo, will definitely assist you well in completing the mission of resisting the Demon Realm and saving the Human Realm."

Juhai, who was on the side, saw Yuwen Tuo say these words and also shouted loudly:

"Big Brother, I, Juhai, will also assist you well in completing the mission of resisting the Demon Realm and saving the Human Realm."

Duan Fengyun smiled slightly at Yuwen Tuo and Juhai, and Guyue, seeing that the new Earth Emperor had emerged, proposed:

"Duan Fengyun, since you have been confirmed as the new Earth Emperor, then I shall return this Earth Emperor cultivation power to you.

This was given to me by my predecessor, the Earth Emperor, who is also your master, the Yellow Emperor; now it is returning to its rightful owner."

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"Old man, you should keep this bit of cultivation power for yourself.

I have no use for it!"

Seeing that Duan Fengyun refused to accept his Earth Emperor cultivation power, Guyue was about to preach a sermon when Duan Fengyun grabbed Guyue's hand and said:

"Immortal, I really do not need your cultivation power.

When the Demon Realm arrives, I cannot protect the Human Realm alone, and I will definitely need your help.

So you just keep your own strength well; you don't need to worry about me."

As Duan Fengyun spoke, he hinted at his current cultivation level to Guyue Xianren.

Guyue Xianren felt the hint from Duan Fengyun and was shocked beyond measure.

Duan Fengyun's cultivation had actually reached this level.

Following this came something that shocked Guyue even more.

Duan Fengyun used the Slash Heaven Sword Drawing Technique to carve a "one" character on Guyue's hand; when Guyue felt this "one," his cultivation nearly collapsed on the spot.

As a fellow practitioner of the Slash Heaven Sword Drawing Technique, Guyue naturally knew that for such a reaction to be triggered in himself, Duan Fengyun's Slash Heaven Sword Drawing Technique must have achieved a massive breakthrough.

The last time Guyue and Duan Fengyun sparred, Duan Fengyun's Slash Heaven Sword Drawing Technique was still at the peak of Slash Immortal, but now it had broken through!

Guyue looked Duan Fengyun up and down; this Duan Fengyun's talent was truly terrifying—he had actually reached the Slash God realm.

Regardless of what level of the Slash God realm Duan Fengyun had reached, although Slash God and Slash Immortal were only one word apart, there was a world of difference between them.

If Slash Immortal could be called invincible in the Human Realm, then with Slash God, Duan Fengyun could already walk with his head held high across the Human Realm, Demon Realm, and God Realm.

Guyue finally understood why Duan Fengyun had said those words just now; indeed, the current Duan Fengyun no longer needed his Earth Emperor Power.

With Duan Fengyun's cultivation at the Slash God stage of the Slash Heaven Sword Drawing Technique, combined with the ancient divine weapon Xuanyuan Sword, and furthermore, since Duan Fengyun now possessed the Earth Emperor Destiny, Duan Fengyun was also capable of gathering the power of the Five Divine Artifacts within himself.

With several types of power added to his person, Guyue truly could not imagine what method the Demon Lord could have to deal with him.

Guyue was very happy now; previously, he had been constantly troubled by the matter of the Demon Realm.

Because of the arrival of the Red Piercing Demon Star, the power of the Demon Realm would reach its maximum, and Guyue had been suffering from a headache over this.

Now, as Duan Fengyun became the Earth Emperor, all problems were resolved accordingly, and the stone in Guyue's heart could finally be put down.

Guyue nodded at Duan Fengyun and said:

"Good, Duan Fengyun, I believe you.

Since you, the Earth Emperor, have spoken, then I, this Fuxi Divine General, have no choice but to obediently comply."

Seeing that Guyue had actually softened his stance, Ran Weng and the Diren Tribe Queen were stunned.

Regarding the matter of Guyue's mission, they had never seen Guyue soften his stance; that he had actually done so today was truly unbelievable.

However, they did not ask Guyue about the specific reason.

If Guyue wanted to say it, then Guyue would say it voluntarily.

Since Guyue did not want to say it, no matter how they asked, Guyue would not say it.

Guyue looked at Duan Fengyun and asked:

"Duan Fengyun, how many of the Five Ancient Divine Artifacts have you gathered now?

I feel that if the Demon Lord knows you have become the Earth Emperor, he will definitely accelerate his actions.

Therefore, you must gather the Five Divine Artifacts as quickly as possible and open the Lost Array."

Off to the side, Yuwen Tuo performed an array seal toward the Void, taking out the Kunlun Mirror, Shennong Cauldron, and Kongtong Seal from within.

Yuwen Tuo spoke up:

"Immortal, the Kunlun Mirror, Shennong Cauldron, and Kongtong Seal among the Five Divine Artifacts are all here; plus the Fuxi Zither you just gave to Big Brother, now only the Nuwa Stone on Xiaoxue is missing."

Guyue nodded and said:

"Good, well done.

Then you must reach Nuwa's Daughter as quickly as possible; after the Demon Lord knows that four of the Five Divine Artifacts have fallen into your hands, he will certainly not let you find the Nuwa Stone.

Therefore, you must find Nuwa's Daughter as quickly as possible. Once you have found Nuwa's Daughter, send me a message immediately, and we will immediately go to gather at the Tongtian Tower on Xitian Juefeng!"

Duan Fengyun nodded and said:

"Good, there is no time to lose; we will set off immediately to find Nuwa's Daughter.

Brother Yuwen, when you were in your Incarnation as Jianchi, you communicated with Nuwa's Daughter quite often; can you guess where Nuwa's Daughter might be?"

Yuwen Tuo thought in his mind; Xiaoxue had encountered his deception and would certainly be lost in confusion, and to resolve her confusion, there was only one person in heaven and earth who could do it.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Tuo instantly had the answer in his heart:

"I know; if I am not mistaken, Xiaoxue should be in Yuehe City!"

Duan Fengyun nodded; this was exactly the same as what he had imagined.

Yuwen Tuo pointed at the three great divine artifacts—the Kunlun Mirror, Shennong Cauldron, and Kongtong Seal—and said:

"Big Brother, now that you are the Earth Emperor, the three great divine artifacts should be kept by you!"
