A传送通道 appeared before Zhou Tianqi, and he vanished from sight!
Everyone was stunned again. The pressure radiating from Zhou Tianqi as he left was immense. This guy was definitely not human from this tide!
King Da Qin’s eyes narrowed. He knew Zhou Tianqi had secrets and was strong, but he never imagined Zhou Tianqi was this powerful! What was Zhou Tianqi’s situation? Why did he suddenly explode with rage and go somewhere unknown?
In the Human Mountain of the Upper Realm, Li Er waved his hand, and the Human Mountain split open, revealing the Human Emperor’s body, heavily damaged. Zhou Tianqi’s dao body was also guarded here. However, as soon as Zhou Tianqi opened his eyes, Li Er sealed him.
Li Er examined the Human Emperor’s body and shook his head. It was badly injured, but not beyond repair. A little Three Light Divine Water would suffice.
At this moment, Zhou Tianqi emerged. Seeing his sealed dao body, he immediately roared in a low voice, “Who exactly are you? What do you want? How do you know His Majesty’s body is here?”
Li Er ignored Zhou Tianqi. He waved his hand, and the Human Emperor’s body was put away. Then, Li Er opened a spatial rift and stepped through it.
Zhou Tianqi roared, wanting to attack but trapped in place. Even after merging with his dao body, he couldn’t move an inch.
At this moment, Li Er appeared in the River of Time. Looking at the River of Time, Li Er nodded. This Time Master was quite interesting, creating such a unique cultivation world.
Every world had its own laws and development. Li Er, having seen countless worlds, was well aware of this.
Currently, Li Er appeared at the dividing point of the River of Time, a barrier set up by the Human Emperor.
The moment Li Er appeared, an old man rushed over and sternly reprimanded, “Stop! Who goes there?”
Li Er glanced at him. His cultivation was good, at the Saint level, but not in Li Er’s eyes. Li Er continued to walk forward. The old man immediately attacked, but the moment he took a step, he was sealed in place. The old man’s face showed horror. He was a Lord of Rules, a first-class Harmonizer, yet he was instantly sealed.
What was the strength of this newcomer? Was he friend or foe? It was unknown. The Human Emperor was also in a precarious state. The old man panicked again. Their Human Emperor could not afford any more trouble!
However, when he wanted to issue a warning, he found he couldn’t speak at all and could only fret anxiously.
At this moment, a phantom figure appeared. Sensing something unusual, he looked back. Li Er slowly walked through the air and met the phantom figure’s gaze.
“Fellow Daoist has good cultivation!” the phantom figure said slowly.
Li Er descended slowly and replied, “You are not bad either. Judging by the myriad worlds, you have the cultivation of an Ancestral God!”
Hearing Li Er’s words, the phantom figure’s eyes narrowed. From the phrase “myriad worlds,” it seemed this person was not from his world.
Could he be from the Chaos? Or the Three Gates? No, that was all one world. At this moment, the phantom figure began to doubt everything.
Li Er didn’t care about the phantom figure’s silence. At this moment, many people appeared around the phantom figure, all warily watching Li Er, ready to attack at any moment.
“Why has fellow Daoist come?” the phantom figure asked, glancing around, then smiling.
Li Er didn’t answer. Instead, he flicked his hand. The phantom figure’s eyes widened. This was his own physical body! It had flowed downstream and now it was brought back up.
“Seeing as you are doing well, I’ve saved your life!” With that, Li Er took out a bottle and sprinkled a few drops of Three Light Divine Water onto the Human Emperor’s damaged body. It immediately began to repair the body.
When the Human Emperor’s body was healed, his phantom form entered it. His aura instantly changed, and a powerful oppressive force spread outwards. The myriad races upstream looked downstream in terror. That was where the Human Emperor was. Had the Human Emperor recovered?
They dared to resist the Human Emperor precisely because he was injured. But now that the Human Emperor was healed, what reason did they have to fight him?
They knew that even the heavily injured Human Emperor, with only a fraction of his strength remaining, was beyond their ability to defeat. How much less so now that he was healed.
“Immortal Emperor, what do we do?” the Divine Emperor asked immediately.
The Immortal Emperor frowned. What could they do? He didn’t know either. Everyone knew the Human Emperor’s power. Otherwise, how could the Human Emperor rule the myriad races? Not to mention the Human Emperor, even King Wen alone could suppress them so much that they couldn’t breathe.
“How did his injuries heal?” the Immortal Emperor asked, bewildered.
“Why bother thinking about it? If we go now, it's suicide. Let’s continue upstream!” the Demon Emperor said directly.
The others were silent. It was true. No matter what, the Human Emperor had recovered, and they were no match for him. Their only hope was near the Heavenly Gate.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist!” The Human Emperor, feeling his restored body, cupped his hands towards Li Er. To be honest, after so many years, he had given up hope. He thought it was over, especially after 100,000 years, and none of his contingencies had come to fruition. He had despaired. He never expected such a turn of events.
The current Human Emperor was full of confidence. With his recovery, the myriad races were insignificant, unable to withstand his might. This was the prestige of the Human Emperor!
“No need to be polite. However, you’re not a very good Human Emperor,” Li Er pouted.
The Human Emperor Xingyu chuckled awkwardly. Li Er’s words were not wrong. If he had been a good Human Emperor, he wouldn’t have dragged the myriad races to the River of Time for 100,000 years and wouldn’t have almost died.
Of course, there were also the machinations of the great trickster King Wu, the treacherous escape of Wen Lao Er, and the schemes of the Three Gates that led to his severe injuries. All in all, it was ultimately his lack of foresight that caused this situation.
The people around, who were initially happy to see the Human Emperor recover, became unhappy upon hearing Li Er’s words. Ming Wang even mumbled something, but Li Er completely ignored him.
“After resolving these matters, I will go to the lower realm. The human race has suffered countless casualties over the past 100,000 years, and you bear some responsibility. My grandson, Su Yu, has the potential to be a Human Emperor. I hope you will not interfere with my plans and my grandson Su Yu’s growth when you go there,” Li Er said, releasing his Ancestral Venerable-level pressure. Even the Time Master of this world might only be at this level.
Sweat appeared on the Human Emperor’s forehead. He had known Li Er was very strong, but he never expected him to be this powerful. The Human Emperor felt that in front of this person, he would likely be defeated in a single move.
“Alright!” The Human Emperor nodded. Regardless, he would go and see first.
Li Er then flew towards the Heavenly Gate.
Near the Heavenly Gate, the myriad races saw a stranger human and were a bit bewildered. Li Er didn’t even look at them. He placed his palm on the Heavenly Gate, and soon, he merged into it, entering.
The people of the myriad races looked at each other, confused about what this human was doing.
At this moment, the Human Emperor suddenly arrived. Looking at these myriad races, he said indifferently, “Do you still want to fight?”
With this single sentence, many of the myriad races defected and knelt before the Human Emperor, saying, “Your Majesty, we will not fight. It was always the Divine, Immortal, and Demon tribes forcing us!”
The Human Emperor remained noncommittal. “Those who are unwilling to fight, step forward!”
Nine-tenths of the members of the myriad races stepped forward. It was a joke. They had originally been led by the Human Emperor, and now he had returned. It was no big deal.
The Divine, Immortal, Demon, Dragon, Phoenix, and other races exchanged glances and could only sigh. They were helpless. Their hands were already stained with the blood of the human race, and the Human Emperor would not let them go.
“Guard the Heavenly Gate!” the Human Emperor said calmly, and then led these myriad races back.
The Immortal Emperor and the others dared not say anything, and could only guard the Heavenly Gate, waiting for the Three Gates to merge.
At this time, the Human Emperor had returned to the Myriad Realms battlefield and lifted all the seals. Even the Upper Realm could now freely enter and exit the Lower Realm. However, the people of the Upper Realm were terrified. Only the Human Emperor, who had set the seals, could lift them so easily. Did this mean the Human Emperor had returned?
The Heavenly Venerates of various races descended in fear. As expected, they saw the Human Emperor standing in the sky on the Myriad Realms battlefield. Before they could say anything, they were swept away by the Human Emperor, and the Upper Realm was sealed again. The Human Emperor had matters to attend to up there.
Although he hadn’t alerted the people below earlier, many people had already sensed it, such as the suppressed Tian Gu and King Da Zhou. King Da Zhou was overjoyed. The Human Emperor had returned, so his mission was complete.
Through his conversation with Zhou Tianqi, the Human Emperor learned about Li Er and Su Yu. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Since Su Yu is the one chosen by that person, you shall fully assist him. This Su Yu may have something extraordinary about him.”
Receiving the Human Emperor’s order, Zhou Tianqi descended again, awaiting Su Yu’s rise.
As for the pressure from the myriad races, *heh*, they had no choice but to comply. After all, that great figure had said that they were merely tools to cultivate Su Yu, and if the tools became useless, they would cease to exist.
At this moment, Li Er had already appeared inside the Heavenly Gate. It was a desolate and dead place. Li Er began to explore. He not only had to examine the Heavenly Gate but also the Earth Gate and the Human Gate. This world, in the end, was simply the Time Master’s sword fighting against the Chaos Beast for control of the world.
Inside the Heavenly Gate, forbidden grounds were everywhere, and there were many powerful beings with over thirty Dao marks, which were the Ancestral God realm.
