Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

Outside Blood Jade City, on Celestial Blood Peak!

The entirety of Celestial Blood Peak was immense, like a Heaven-Reaching Divine Peak standing between the sky and earth of the Kun Realm.

On this Divine Peak, everything from the soil and rocks to the grass and trees was a shade of blood-red.

Legend had it that the blood of an Emperor had once been spilled here, transforming the entire Celestial Blood Peak into its current state!

But its history was so ancient that it was impossible to verify whether an Emperor Realm expert’s blood had truly fallen here.

However, in past wars, both the Kun-eating Race and the Human Race held an inexplicable reverence for Celestial Blood Peak.

They would never dare trespass upon it.

Even today, as the climactic battle that would decide the fate of the Kun-eating Race and the Human Race in the Kun Realm was about to begin on Celestial Blood Peak, the spectators from both races still did not ascend the mountain. Instead, they scattered around its base, completely encircling the massive peak.

Among the dense crowd of experts, there was a clear divide between the Human Race and the Kun-eating Race.

The experts of the two races glared at each other with hatred, wishing they could annihilate their opponents, yet no one made a move.

All eyes were fixed on the summit of Celestial Blood Peak.

A blood-red figure sat there in quiet meditation. He was like the very core of the world, with all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converging upon him.

Even the two suns in the Celestial Vault seemed to have their light overshadowed by him at this moment!

This blood-red figure was none other than the Emperor Realm expert of the Kun-eating Race—Alu Tian!

”That’s our Emperor, Lord Alu Tian! As long as he’s here, our Kun-eating Race will definitely wipe out those damned humans...”

”Once Lord Alu Tian slays that damn Jiang Chen, we can attack without any restraint!”

”Hmph, human flesh is quite delicious. I’m going to have a feast when the time comes!”

”Who the hell does that Jiang Chen think he is? He’s still not here. He couldn’t have gotten scared and run away, could he?”

”He wouldn’t dare fight Lord Alu Tian!”

”Lord Alu Tian will be victorious!”

The experts of the Kun-eating Race chatted amongst themselves, each of them wearing a relaxed expression.

Clearly, they were all convinced that Jiang Chen was no match for Alu Tian!

On the side of the Human Race.

The Black Wind City Lord glanced at the sovereign-like figure on Celestial Blood Peak, his eyes filled with deep apprehension. He then turned to the Blood Jade City Lord. ”Blood Jade City Lord, has Lord Sword Venerable not come out of his seclusion yet?”

”He hasn’t really gotten cold feet, has he?” a City Lord muttered under his breath.

He was from Sunlight City. Back then, Alu Tian had broken through to the Emperor Realm before Jiang Chen had a chance to visit Sunlight City.

Thus, the Sunlight City Lord was not as wholeheartedly convinced of Jiang Chen’s abilities as the other City Lords were.

As soon as he said this, all the other human experts glared at the Sunlight City Lord. ”You’d better shut your mouth!”

”How dare you insult Lord Sword Venerable?”

”Lord Sword Venerable has fought far and wide for our Human Race! How dare you, the Sunlight City Lord, speak so slanderously of him?”

Faced with everyone’s furious reprimands, the Sunlight City Lord’s face went from pale to flushed. He snorted coldly. ”Have I said anything wrong? The appointed time for the duel has already arrived, yet he’s still not here. What could it be, if not fear? You bunch of idiots! I told you not to give him all the Emperor-level Primordial Pills, but you wouldn’t listen to me. And now look. Perhaps he’s taken the Emperor-level Primordial Pills and run... run... run...”

The Sunlight City Lord’s words suddenly caught in his throat.

His eyes widened, and his flushed face instantly turned deathly pale as beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

A look of fear and horror gradually spread across his dark eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the direction of Blood Jade City, his jaw agape as if he had just witnessed something terrifying!

The others were stunned for a moment.

Then, everyone felt a heart-stopping pressure coming from the direction of Blood Jade City. Even the experts at the Peak of Human Emperor Realm couldn’t help but stand up straight.

The previously boisterous crowd of humans and Kun-eaters fell deathly silent in that instant!

Even Alu Tian, on the summit of Celestial Blood Peak, opened his eyes and looked toward Blood Jade City.

A fanatical battle lust and a trace of extreme coldness flashed in his eyes!

Above Blood Jade City...

Countless Sword Auras shot into the sky, each tens of thousands of feet long. Wherever the Sword Auras passed, the void was ripped apart. Gusts of Void Storms and Annihilation Gang Winds spewed from the spatial rifts, creating a scene like the end of the world.

Amidst this terrifying maelstrom of Void Storms, a figure in black robes strode through the air.

He was like a Supreme Divine Sword incarnate.

Standing proudly between heaven and earth, he was like a Blazing Sun, so radiant that no one dared to look directly at him!

The Human Race erupted in a deafening cheer. ”The Sword Venerable is here!”

”What a powerful aura! Is this the strongest Sword Venerable of our Human Race in the Kun Realm? Long live Lord Sword Venerable...”

”Lord Sword Venerable is invincible and all-conquering!”

The experts roared one after another.

They shouted themselves hoarse, their cries like the thundering of war drums, deafening to the ear.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

With a few flashes, Jiang Chen appeared in the air before Celestial Blood Peak. An extreme sharpness emanated from his eyes, as piercing as two Celestial Blades, aimed directly at Alu Tian, who was seated on the summit!

Alu Tian’s eyes met his.

From the four eyes of the two men, tangible beams of light shot out simultaneously.

They collided in the void.

BOOM—

The four beams of light crashed into each other like four high-speed meteorites, instantly creating a blindingly brilliant flash. It was as if a new sun had appeared in the Celestial Vault, so bright that even Human Emperor Realm experts couldn’t help but shut their eyes.

RUMBLE!

A terrifying gale swept through the world, churning chaotically.

Everything was violently obliterated in the collision of their gazes.

The heavens and the earth trembled, the ground sank, and mountain after mountain was crushed into dust.

The space between Jiang Chen and Alu Tian became a vacuum. The devastation was so complete it could not recover, and the turbulent spatial rifts were slow to mend.

”You’ve come!”

Alu Tian spoke.

His voice was distant and heavy. Each word was like a clap of thunder, causing many human experts below Celestial Blood Peak to pale and spit up blood.

Jiang Chen stood in the air, his black robes fluttering. He replied, ”I’ll give you three breaths to leave your last words!”

His voice was even calmer, as if two acquaintances were just making small talk.

However, these seemingly ordinary words made the Kun-eaters below Celestial Blood Peak clutch their heads, feeling an agonizing pain as if ten thousand swords were piercing their hearts. Some with weaker cultivation even rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and fainted dead away from sheer terror.

”Hm?”

Alu Tian’s gaze hardened, revealing a cold killing intent. ”You killed my son and destroyed my tribe. Today, I, Alu Tian, will slay you in front of the entire Kun Realm, in front of all the Human Race, to appease the souls of my fallen kin!”

”Are those your last words? Understood.”

Jiang Chen said calmly, his eyes suddenly turning sharp. ”Don’t worry, I’ll send you to Hell to reunite with your family!”

”Arrogant!”

Alu Tian snorted coldly and shot into the sky. ”By this time next year, it will be the anniversary of your death! Jiang Chen, let’s fight!”

Not to be outdone, Jiang Chen also soared into the sky. With his longsword in hand, he slashed out, setting the Celestial Vault ablaze with the fires of war...

”After today, the Kun-eating Race will be no more in the Kun Realm!”
