The Human Emperor
The Human Emperor - Chapter 2079: Spacetime Collapse! Energy Explosion!

“This is impossible!”

Wang Chong was stunned by the development.

The situation was dire, and the stench of death was suffocating.

Firmament Supreme was absurdly strong!

Wang Chong had not expected that even after he had shown all his cards and applied all his strength, he still could not get through Firmament Supreme’s obstructions.

And the massive, golden spacetime blades Firmament Supreme was creating in the air were enough to instantly kill him and his clones!

The air was brimming with tension.

“No! I can’t let him drag back the energy core!”

Wang Chong’s nerves were on the verge of snapping from the tension.

No one understood more than him that if he could not destroy the teleportation gate, everyone would be doomed, whether it was him, the Nightmare Beast, or the faceless man.

“Explode!”

At this perilous moment, Wang Chong’s eyes flashed with determination. He hooked his fingers and triggered an important formation Divine Embryo 3 had planted in the energy core.

Bang!

Over at the distant teleportation gate, a sound like shattering glass came from the energy core. It was almost inaudible amidst the intensity of the battle, but it was the most pivotal development in the battlefield.

Just when Firmament Supreme was focused entirely on Wang Chong, an enormous explosion rang out. That energy core that was halfway embedded into the teleportation gate fiercely trembled, and a terrifying torrent of energy far above even that of the Grotto Heaven realm gushed out from it.

This energy torrent was blue like a star and contained a bone-freezing chill.

Boomboomboom!

In the blink of an eye, that terrifying surge of energy blasted through Firmament Supreme’s golden Halos of Spacetime, breaking all of the seals around the energy core.

“Not good!”

Sensing the development behind him, Firmament Supreme frantically began to once more control his Halos of Spacetime to try and pull back the energy core, but he was too late. Everything was decided at the moment Divine Embryo 3 triggered the small formation in the energy core.

Kaboom! In a blue flash of light, the giant energy core, helped along by the pull from the teleportation gate and its own inertia, broke through all obstructions and vanished into the teleportation gate.

Buzz!

The teleportation gate, which had been on the verge of stabilization and completion, suddenly shuddered.

The energy within the teleportation gate turned chaotic and frenzied.

What would happen if the energy core, with its extremely unstable energy that was far above the Grotto Heaven realm, was suddenly thrown into a teleportation gate which was placed at the intersection of multiple dimensions?

When these factors were brought together, how massive would the explosion be?

Wang Chong didn’t know!

But he did know that this energy would be enough to annihilate all his divine embryos and the Nightmare Beast without leaving a shred of a corpse behind.

In truth, the teleportation gate hadn’t even exploded yet, but Wang Chong already felt like nothing but an ant before its frenzied energy.

If he could not escape from the heart of the explosion, his death was certain!

“Go!”

Without another thought, Wang Chong’s three divine embryos erupted with Stellar Energy and fled.

“Damn it!

“You madmen!”

The Sky Official, who had wanted to help Firmament Supreme but was held down by Divine Embryo 2, suddenly felt an intense unease. Turning around, he saw the azure energy core being thrown into the teleportation gate.

The teleportation gate was fiercely shuddering, a dazzling azure light coming from within. The fabric of spacetime was in the midst of collapsing, and the destructive energy it unleashed made the Sky Official go pale.

The Sky Official could no longer worry about Wang Chong, and immediately began to flee.

“Seeking death!”

A thunderous roar rang out. As the teleportation gate began to collapse, Firmament Supreme’s eyes burned with rage, his face ghastly white.

Rumble! He had originally been seated on the ground, his body linked to the formation constructing the teleportation gate and the teleportation gate itself, but in his extreme rage, he got to his feet and flew out.

His hands reached out, and space rippled as golden Halos of Spacetime closed in around Wang Chong’s three divine embryos.

Each Halo of Spacetime opened a spacetime tunnel, the other end linked to the teleportation gate.

He wanted to throw Wang Chong’s three divine embryos and the Nightmare Beast into the imminently exploding teleportation gate so that they would be obliterated.

But Firmament Supreme had just begun to move when a black cloud of Psychic Energy slammed into his mind.

Struck by this steely wave of Psychic Energy, Firmament Supreme trembled, and his attack paused for a moment.

The Nightmare Beast had lashed out at a crucial moment.

“No matter what, Firmament Supreme can’t be allowed to escape!”

Wang Chong’s heartstrings were taut.

The teleportation gate was on the verge of exploding, and Firmament Supreme was a Grotto Heaven expert who was far stronger than them. He would be much faster when it came to escaping.

If he successfully escaped, then even if they succeeded in destroying the teleportation gate, an unharmed Firmament Supreme would ensure that they all died here.

Firmament Supreme clearly felt the same. As the teleportation gate neared destruction, he had chosen to go after the three divine embryos rather than run.

Success will all depend on this!

The only one that had not fled at this time was Divine Embryo 3.

With the Nightmare Beast’s Psychic Energy holding down Firmament Supreme for the moment, Divine Embryo 3 suddenly turned around, embraced Firmament Supreme, and unleashed all its Stellar Energy, including that freezing energy in its core.

“Ice-Sealed World!”

The azure crystal within Divine Embryo 3’s body blazed with light, as did the entirety of Divine Embryo 3’s body, a light as bright as the sun and as cold as space.

A chill countless times colder than the chill released by the energy core erupted from Divine Embryo 3’s body.

This freezing energy was unbelievably frightening!

Boom!

Everything within several thousand feet of Divine Embryo 3 turned into a world sealed in ice, covered in snow. Even the snowflakes drifting from the sky, the snow accumulated on the ground, the salty air, the gusts of Stellar Energy, time, and space were all frozen solid.

Time seemed to stop existing within this region. Everything was still, and all that was left was endless ice and snow.

In the center of this world, the silver-robed Firmament Supreme was furious, but just when he was about to break free of the Nightmare Beast’s mental attack, his body was frozen by that energy.

Although Divine Embryo 3’s Ice-Sealed World had covered the entire region, the silver-robed Firmament Supreme was the true target, where the Ice-Sealed World’s power was most concentrated.

Not only had that cold wave frozen space and time, it had penetrated into Firmament Supreme’s body and frozen his Stellar Energy and soul.

Even the psychic storm that Firmament Supreme had been just about to unleash was frozen.

“Let’s go!”

After unleashing the Ice-Sealed World, Divine Embryo 3 shattered the surrounding frost and fled into the distance.

The Ice-Sealed World couldn’t hold Firmament Supreme for long, but the teleportation gate was about to explode.

A terrifying energy was tearing apart the world. Wang Chong could already see a long, black fissure, tens of thousands of feet long, reaching into the sky. The destructive pulses from the teleportation gate were now several dozen times stronger than before.

This energy would erupt in just another few moments.

Whoosh!

Pushing the Shadow Fiend Art to its limits, Wang Chong’s three divine embryos fled, leaving behind scars in the fabric of space.

At this moment, time slowed to a meandering crawl.

Five thousand feet!

Sixteen thousand feet!

Thirty-eight thousand feet!

Sixty-seven thousand feet!

Wang Chong’s divine embryos moved with incredible speed, unleashing all their latent potential, but the terrifying pulses of energy from the teleportation gate continued to follow them like a shadow.

No good!

This was far, far from enough!

Death was still certain at this distance!

Wang Chong’s body tensed, his blood running cold as he fled with all his might.

Eighty-nine thousand feet!

One hundred and thirteen thousand feet!

Boom!

Only

The flow of time returned to its normal speed as a sound reminiscent of the Big Bang exploded over the shores of the Caspian Sea.

“Agghh!”

A bitter scream came from the direction of the teleportation gate. Firmament Supreme had finally escaped from the Ice-Sealed World, but it was too late.

The energy core and the collapsing teleportation gate had exploded together, unleashing a world-sundering energy that swept out in all directions. The earth crumbled as giant fissures as thick as tree trunks spread out in all directions.

Space and time crumbled!

Although Firmament Supreme was at the Grotto Heaven realm, this explosion was all-encompassing, and not even with his control over spacetime could he escape.

The power unleashed by the explosion was far above the Grotto Heaven realm. Even Firmament Supreme was but an insignificant ant before it.

This was why Wang Chong had completely ignored Firmament Supreme and focused on fleeing after freezing him.
