The Human Emperor - Chapter 2076: The Universal Star Shatter Art!
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew across the earth as Wang Chong confidently strode forward, moving with deceptive speed.
He had started far off on the horizon, but in just a few seconds, he had crossed ten-some li.
Bang!
In the distance, warhorses shrieked. The appearance of Wang Chong had thrown the Kailong and other tribal cavalry into chaos.
“Not good! That’s the man who killed a divine emissary!”
“Watch out! Everyone, keep your distance!”
“Damn, damn! Why did he come again?!”
Their reaction upon seeing Wang Chong was not to surround and attack him, but to draw back like he had the plague.
Many of the tribal braves had participated in the encirclement when Wang Chong killed the Water Official, hoping to help the divine emissary deal with these eastern ‘devils’. But in that battle, these tribal warriors experienced for the first time what it meant to participate in a gods’ war.
In that battle, the arrogant tribal warriors of the north were cut down like weeds. Before they could get close, the shockwaves from the clash blasted them away.
Before the thousands of cavalry had even hit the ground, their bones and organs, and those of their horses, were shattered. At the moment they were struck by the shockwaves, they were instantly killed!
When the battlefield was covered in the bodies of tribal warriors and the enemy was utterly unscathed, these valiant tribal warriors finally understood fear.
Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, the tribal warriors began to retreat, leaving open a wide path between Wang Chong and Firmament Supreme.
Buzz!
When he was still several thousand feet from the perimeter base, Wang Chong stopped.
This minor action made Firmament Supreme’s eyes widen.
The distance Wang Chong had chosen was neither close nor far. It was right outside of Firmament Supreme’s attack range, giving Wang Chong enough time to respond.
“Just who are you?”
Firmament Supreme stared at Wang Chong, his eyes flashing.
“I have never heard of you in the western world, and this place is extremely remote. Who sent you? And from your appearance, this doesn’t seem to be a fleshly body, yes?”
Wang Chong raised an eyebrow at Firmament Supreme’s last comment, a hint of surprise on his face. But he quickly regained his composure.
“Heh, I suppose that’s to be expected of a Supreme. I knew I couldn’t hide it from you!”
Wang Chong faintly smiled.
His three divine embryos truly weren’t bodies of flesh and blood. It was very normal for someone of Firmament Supreme’s strength to sense that something was wrong, and far stranger if he hadn’t.
On the other side, Firmament Supreme was surprised to hear Wang Chong note that he was a Supreme.
There wasn’t anything special about knowing the name ‘Firmament Supreme’, but to know that ‘Supreme’ was a title was something else entirely. This person had clearly encountered other Supremes.
Firmament Supreme narrowed his eyes as he suddenly asked, “You’re from the eastern world?” But from his tone, he seemed certain of Wang Chong’s identity.
“The east is Genesis Supreme’s territory. I heard that Li Taiyi is already dead, leaving only the Child of Destruction, someone called Wang Chong. In a war not too long ago, this Wang Chong vanquished Arabia, and I’ve heard he’s also created some problems for us in the capital of the Great Tang. That man… is you!”
Firmament Supreme’s voice boomed through the world.
His eyes were as sharp as swords, seeming to see into the depths of the human heart.
The surrounding area buzzed with chatter, the tribal warriors befuddled by Wang Chong and Firmament Supreme’s conversation.
But the Sky Official, who stood at the intersection between the perimeter and interior, appeared shocked.
“What? It’s him!”
It was clear that the Sky Official had heard of the Child of Destruction.
He had not expected this King of the east to travel to such a remote place.
It was completely abnormal.
The Sky Official’s eyes turned cold and harsh.
“This scoundrel is coming for the teleportation gate!”
The Sky Official understood what was going on.
The six bases were well hidden, and only a small number of people in their organization knew about them. How could this human from the eastern world have known about it?
“Truly worthy of the Supreme title! Even though you are in the distant west, you have heard of my name. It seems that your Celestial God Organization still engages in a significant amount of internal communication, at least between the Supremes.
“This is perfect! Once I kill you, I should be able to frighten Genesis Supreme a little!”
Wang Chong faintly smiled.
“Seeking death!”
The Sky Official exploded with rage.
Underneath the teleportation gate, Firmament Supreme’s expression chilled, a layer of frost appearing on his face.
“Hmph, good! You’ve truly made this god take a new look at you. Come! Let this god see how you will kill me!” Firmament Supreme coldly said.
Wang Chong coldly laughed at Firmament Supreme’s words, and the two engaged in a stare-off. But Wang Chong did not come forward.
Slowly, his eyes turned to the Sky Official.
Whoosh!
This was a surprising development, and the Sky Official paled.
He had not imagined that Wang Chong would suddenly shift targets to him.
Swoosh!
Wang Chong gave no opportunity for the Sky Official to escape, immediately pushing his Shadow Fiend Art to its limits as he lunged at the Sky Official.
“Firmament Supreme! There’s no need for any false bravado from you! You’re bound by the formation and have no means of removing yourself!
“I’ll kill your last subordinate and all your men first, and then I’ll deal with you.
“Great Yin Yang Art!”
Wang Chong blinked above the Sky Official, Yin and Yang erupting from his hands and manifesting into two large energy balls representing the sun and moon. Yin and Yang turned, water and fire blasting toward the Sky Official down below.
“Seeking death!”
The Sky Official was shocked and enraged.
“Universal Star Shatter Art!”
Boom!
Two energies of completely different natures collided, creating a shockwave akin to a tsunami.
The Sky Official could not be considered weak, but he had still underestimated Wang Chong.
Rumble! The images of the sun and moon turned, the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art pulling on the Sky Official’s immense energy and shifting it toward empty space. Bang! Wang Chong’s palm slammed into the Sky Official’s chest.
Buzz!
Being suppressed by Wang Chong made the Sky Official grimace, his face paling.
However, the Sky Official was still the leader of the three officials, and he was no weakling.
Bang! A pitch-black stream of energy thundered into the Sky Official’s body and out the other side. Behind him, space fractured, a long fissure appearing.
This Stellar Energy that had surged into the Sky Official’s body had been instantly transported to another dimension.
The Myriad Universe Body!
This was the skill that distinguished the Sky Official from the Earth Official and Water Official and made him the leader of the three officials.
Not only could the Sky Official borrow energy from the dimensions, he could also divert his opponent’s attacks to another dimension, making them ineffective and minimizing the damage to him.
“Everyone, hear my order! Kill him!”
As the Sky Official neutralized Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy, he bellowed an order for all the men in black on the perimeter to surround and kill Wang Chong.
Enough ants could gnaw an elephant to death!
Even if they couldn’t fight one-on-one against him, or even take a single blow from him, if all of them worked together, they could apply enormous pressure to Wang Chong.
Roooar!
As the Sky Official’s order rang out, inhuman roars resounded through the world. The remaining several hundred men in black howled as their bodies began to lengthen and thicken, taking the forms of Lu Wus or Black Flame Asuras… Seething black flames erupted from their bodies and converged on Wang Chong from all directions.
The Sky Official was ready to fight to the death with Wang Chong, but then he was instantly left stunned.
After pushing back the Sky Official, Wang Chong decided to give up on his prey and lunge into the men in black.
Boomboomboom!
Tremendous explosions rang out as Wang Chong slaughtered the men in black like a wolf amongst sheep.
These men in black who seemed like gods to mortal martial artists were like clay chickens in front of Wang Chong’s divine embryo. A single palm unleashed furious torrents of energy that obliterated the Lu Wus and Black Flame Asuras.
Howling in rage, the Sky Official pursued, but Wang Chong used his Shadow Fiend Art to constantly change positions, running rampant amongst the men in black.
Screams ripped through the air as Wang Chong’s demonic palm dealt out devastating losses…
Only
Firmament Supreme stood back and did nothing, his silver hair and that world of snow around him making him seem all the more cold, aloof, and emotionless.
The sight of Wang Chong slaughtering all the men in black, even catching the tribal warriors in the shockwaves, with no one able to stand against them, left Firmament Supreme completely calm and unmoved.
The hierarchy of the Celestial God Organization was extremely strict.
Whether it was the numerous tribal warriors of the north or the formidable men in black, they were nothing but ants to the true upper echelons like Firmament Supreme and Genesis Supreme.
As long as they willed it, they could gather many of these so-called ‘braves’ of the mortal world.
As for the men in black, only a little time would be needed to train some more of them.
Even experts like the Sky Official were not considered true core members!
For Wang Chong to hunt them down was meaningless!
