1208 Descent of the Divine Realm
The voice of the Great Emperor rang out like thunder, sweeping through the entire sky.
It was soul-stirring, as though the world was resonating with it.
This voice surpassed all decrees, all divine abilities, and all wills.
Those were the words of the Great Emperor. It represented the inheritance, civilization, and the will of the human race.
The voice was domineering and its words were earth-shattering.
The imperial city trembled, as though a storm had swept through all directions. All buildings were violently shaken, leaving people trembling with fear.
As the voice entered the Imperial Academy, it seemed to pierce through the sky, resonating like a mighty bell. All the students felt a sense of awe, instinctively bowing in the direction of the statue of the Great Emperor.
The only Great Emperor of the human race on the Wanggu Continent after the departure of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.
They paid their respects to this Sword Holding Emperor who had protected the human race to this day. Even though his main body had died in battle, he had left his avatar to continue fighting for the human race!
At this moment, all the students, the various forces in the capital, and countless individuals of the human race instinctively lowered their heads.
Even the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Kings under him, showed reverence, bowing in homage.
Xu Qing was the same, but there was another sentence echoing in his mind.
Little friend, lend me your sword.
The moment these words appeared in his mind, his body shone with a golden light. This light continued to erupt and spread. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a sea of light again.
The Emperor Sword in his body emitted a wisp of consciousness, as though it was asking for Xu Qings permission.
This sword used to belong to the Sword Holding Emperor. Now... it belonged to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was the Sword Carrier of this generation.
The Sword Holding Emperor could forcefully summon it. However, it was obvious that his wisdom would not allow such oversight, and he wouldnt let the Sword Carrier he chose to harbor resentment toward the Emperor Sword.
Hence, he made such a request.
Xu Qing agreed. At the next moment, the Emperor Sword rushed out of his body.
According to the Great Emperors will, it hung in the sky.
The sword pointed at the Divine Realm and its might spread out. Cracks spread in the sky of the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Capital.
The sword energy rose even more intensely. The swords of all the Sword Holders in the entire Grand Imperial Capital Region trembled and rose into the air uncontrollably, pointing their swords at the sky of the Imperial Academy.
It was difficult to calculate the exact number and could be said to be countless.
Killing intent rose from the inside and outside of the hundred rings of the planet, piercing through the heavens and earth, locking onto the Imperial Academy.
Even the huge Ancient Sovereign Planet echoed with the sound of storms.
Images of the human ancestors manifested one after another, with the clouds and fog in the gaseous planet churning like dragons. The fortune of the human race gathered from all directions and quickly formed a huge face.
Ancient and majestic, it bore the visage of the Sword Holding Emperor.
In the sky above Imperial Academy, Bai Xiaozhuos body paused.
The Divine Realm projection above his head that covered the sky also seemed to have stopped moving.
A huge crisis shook everything.
All the bizarre existences in the Divine Realms projection lifted their heads, exuding traces of defiant aura despite sensing the danger.
This was especially so for the huge and vast black sphere. Although Its body also paused, Its vertical eye emitted a cold gleam, gazing through the void towards the Imperial City, towards the Sword Holding Emperor.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, as though war was about to break out at any moment.
Just as countless people instinctively held their breaths, a cold voice rang out from the Sword Holding Emperor again.
Scram!
The Sword Holding Emperor was expressionless. His voice transformed into thunder that entered the Divine Realm, stirring up a storm.
The world was overturned.
The black sphere in the Divine Realm squirmed a few times. Its vertical eye stared at the Great Emperor carefully.
A long time later, the eye slowly narrowed.
This contraction also affected the entire Divine Realm, causing the Divine Realm itself to begin to shrink. Finally, it transformed into a crack.
It chose to retreat.
At the same time, Bai Xiaozhuo, who was below the projection, looked in the direction of the Sword Holding Emperor. He lowered his head and cupped his fists. After that, he transformed into a rainbow that headed straight for the gap in the sky.
He was fleeing there!
This was his purpose in summoning the Divine Realm, and also his retreat strategy after showcasing himself.
The Sword Holding Emperor didnt speak, and the Emperor Sword didnt stop him.
Seeing that Bai Xiaozhuo was about to leave, Xu Qing frowned slightly, but there was another person as well who wasnt willing to let Bai Xiaozhuo leave.
The display isnt over yet. Theres no need to be in a hurry to leave.
The person who spoke was the Human Emperor.
The moment he spoke, the Human Emperor lifted his hand and grabbed at the sky of the Imperial Academy.
With this grab, the imperial intent erupted. A fluctuation that surpassed the Soul Accumulation shook the sky and suppressed the world.
The sky of the Imperial Academy instantly darkened and a huge palm appeared. The palm patterns were clearly visible and covered everything like dark clouds.
It also covered the gap in the Divine Realm and blocked Bai Xiaozhuos path.
It was as though this palm could crush the Imperial Academy.
The 13 Heavenly Kings dropped their heads and all living beings felt their hearts sway. Although the aura from the Human Emperor was inferior to the Sword Holding Emperor, it surpassed the others. This was... the power of a Ruler!
Under his palm, everyones Heavenly Dao was his Heavenly Dao.
Everyones rules were his rules.
The myriad of changes and all abilities depended on a single thought.
In fact, if the Human Emperor was willing, he could instantly turn all the cultivators under his palm into mortals.
There was also a dense fortune of the human race churning on this palm, causing multicolored light to spread and the pressure to spread throughout the entire Imperial City.
Bai Xiaozhuos body paused again as he silently stood up in the sky.
He lifted his head and looked at the path to the Divine Realm that was covered by the Human Emperors hand, sighing softly.
This is okay too.
After muttering, Bai Xiaozhuo lifted his right hand and grabbed at the void.
Immediately, beams of black light appeared out of thin air.
They gathered on his raised right hand and finally... formed a beating heart.
Every beat of this heart was like thunder, emitting anomalous substances and divine sources that flowed with black blood. Its aura was shockingly the same as the Divine Realm.
Clearly, it came from the Divine Realm!
Staring at the heart, Bai Xiaozhuos eyes revealed determination as he pressed it to his chest.
The location of the heart on his chest was originally caved in and it was missing.
Now, as the heart was placed in, Bai Xiaozhuos body trembled. Blood vessels spread in his eyes, turning them red.
His aura also became violent.
His combat strength soared.
From the level that was originally equivalent to the Perfected Nihility realm, it continued to increase.
Under the pulsation of the heart, an endless stream of divine energy surged through his entire body.
Wherever it passed, the signs of his body being pieced together suddenly vanished, blending seamlessly, and his appearance also underwent some changes.
The enormous black body looked like an elliptical sphere, with countless tentacles writhing and intertwining to form four limbs.
Additionally, on its back, there grew claws resembling scythes, each emitting a sharp edge capable of tearing through space.
Its head did not sit atop its neck but instead emerged from its chest.
Where its head would normally be located, there was now a gigantic upright eye, within which sparks glimmered.
This fire was extraordinary, exuding a sense of divinity and a terrifying aura.
Moreover, behind it, there sprawled a body resembling that of a centipede.
His entire person was no longer in human form.
To those who hadnt seen the fragmented-faces true body, Bai Xiaozhuos current appearance was unfamiliar.
However, to Xu Qing, the meaning of this body was different. It was actually somewhat similar to the fragmented-faces true appearance!
It was clearly extremely ugly, but because of the existence of sparks in its eyes, it gave off an incomparably harmonious feeling.
In the understanding of the heaven and earth of the Wanggu, this appearance was beauty, truth, and normal.
This was the intent of sky and earth, but the Heavenly Dao didnt think so. Hence, the feeling it gave everyone was a strange contradiction.
The combat strength exchanged for such a price directly surpassed the Nihility realm and reached a terrifying stage comparable to the Soul Accumulation realm.
To immortal cultivators, the symbol of the Soul Accumulation was a large world.
However, to divine cultivators, the standard of Soul Accumulation was the sparks of divine fire.
If it was burning, they would be god.
For example, back then, the fourth son of the Ruler, the Red Moon Divine Son, wanted to rise from the state of sparks and attempt to truly ignite the divine fire through a special ritual to become a god.
Under the combat strength of the Soul Accumulation, the god form Bai Xiaozhuo was blurry in the eyes of too many people. It was difficult to see his true appearance because he already possessed a portion of the characteristics of the god.
Gods couldnt be looked straight at.
The instant Bai Xiaozhuos god form appeared, the Divine Realm that had only left a gap in the sky and was covered by the Human Emperors hand suddenly expanded again. A deep roar echoed in the Imperial Capital.
As soon as this roar rang out, the Human Emperors large hand shivered and was forced back by the impact, revealing the rapidly expanding Divine Realm crack behind him and... the black sphere that was about to rush out of the crack.
On the sphere, all the faces were singing.
The merging of the primordial sun energy, the ancient eyes of the Divine Fusion, become the light of the starry sky, shining upon Wanggu, casting shadow and transforming the land into the Divine Realm.
Revered Lord of the Sun, God of the cosmos and all heavens, Illuminate.
The bizarre voices spread throughout the Imperial Academy. Many students were in a daze and actually sang along. Upon closer inspection, one could discover that all the people singing were from the Divine Fusion School.
This scene terrified the other students. The Sword Holding Emperors blade also flew out at this moment, heading straight for the black sphere in the crack of the Divine Realm.
At the same time, the god form Bai Xiaozhuo moved!
He didnt target the Human Emperors retracted hand or take the opportunity to flee to the Divine Realm. Instead... he went after Xu Qing, who was on the white Dao platform below!
Killing intent erupted from his eyes. His speed was so fast that it surpassed teleportation. His timing was also precise. In the blink of an eye, he had already touched the Imperial Academys defense.
He didnt stop and smashed fiercely.
The Imperial Academys protective barrier rumbled and countless cracks instantly appeared. Under such a huge force, it didnt have time to restore itself and collapsed, turning into a large number of fragments that scattered in all directions. Some of them were even swept toward Xu Qing.
Bai Xiaozhuo moved faster than those fragments and directly appeared in front of Xu Qing.
