"A suicidal act. That's Qishi Shenwang, a high-level young Supreme One among Five Tribulation Divine Kings, whose strike can rival the full-force attack of an ordinary Six Tribulation Divine King. Yet he dares to block it bare-handed? Truly arrogant. Even a Seven Tribulation Divine King, a super Divine King, probably wouldn't dare such a thing."
Many shook their heads, feeling this person was far too presumptuous.
However, in the very next instant, something happened that made everyone's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
Because the mysterious figure shrouded in Chaos Mist made his move, and that terrifyingly powerful battle spear was caught—the spear tip itself was seized.
Yet, even so, despite the power within the spear, a force that would make even a Six Tribulation Divine King pale with horror, wantonly erupting with enough might to shatter the entire heavens and earth, that hand seemed like the Hand of the Heavens, forged from Chaos Immortal Gold. It remained utterly unharmed, even firmly gripping the spear, preventing it from advancing another iota!
"Impossible!"
Countless people exclaimed from the depths of their hearts, utterly unable to believe the scene before their eyes.
A Divine King's battle spear, comparable to a Six Tribulation Divine King's full-force strike, had been blocked, and with such apparent ease, without suffering the slightest effective damage. The shock this caused others was simply too immense!
Even Qishi Shenwang no longer wore his confident smile. His handsome face was also filled with disbelief, unable to imagine his absolute strike being withstood.
It was too shocking, far too unexpected.
Even the numerous Divine Kings of the alien race, and even the Emperor Sons and Daughters, revealed looks of astonishment.
Only Di Wentian, Mo Shitian, and the Six Paths Emperor's Son managed to maintain their composure.
"You finally made it back after all!" The Six Paths Emperor's Son sighed, though it was unclear whether his sigh was for the other's immense strength or disappointment at his return to seek death.
Mo Shitian revealed a trace of surprise, a rare look of gravity appearing on his face.
Di Wentian, however, let out a deep, meaningful sigh, its significance unknown to all.
On the ramparts of the Human Pass Fortress, Will stared at the figure, unable to pierce through the Chaos Mist, yet feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity with that faintly discernible silhouette.
Soon, it slowly overlapped with an image in his mind, one he knew to the core. Despite the tempering and transformation he had undergone through years of battle, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart, exclaiming loudly, "Holy shit!"
But amidst the shock, there was even more joy and surprise.
He never expected this guy to make it back at the final moment.
"He's finally returned." The Human Sovereign's Son also revealed a faint smile.
"It's him!"
Zhao Chen and Yuan Yang Shenwang also smiled, a genuine smile from the depths of their hearts.
The tall and heroic figure shrouded in Chaos Mist gripped Qishi Shenwang's divine spear, the overwhelmingly powerful divine might directly calming within his palm. He then turned slightly apologetically towards the Divine King Di Lan behind him, who was somewhat damaged from being burned by demonic flames. "My apologies, Senior. I arrived a bit late."
As he spoke, a jade-green light fell upon Di Lan's divine soul.
Visible to the naked eye, the damaged divine soul, enveloped in the jade light, began to repair at an astonishing speed. In the end, it was completely restored, though the soul remained somewhat faint and ethereal.
That was a severe injury to the divine soul, not something that could be fully healed in a moment; it would require time.
Then, the figure shrouded in Chaos Mist made his move. With a single hand, he traced out a series of trajectories, actually directly reassembling and restoring the exploded Divine King body. Jade-green light of life merged into it, healing the injuries and allowing Di Lan's divine soul to return, reuniting form and spirit. "Senior, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me."
Di Lan shook his head. "Though I do not know who you are, young friend, you carry the aura of our human race. Now, with our human race facing great calamity, you and Divine Kings like Guangming Shenwang are the hope for humanity's future. You should seize the chance to leave. Within the Imperial Clan Ancient Realm, a divine ship has been prepared that can directly travel to the other side of the Primordial Divine Sea, to the Primordial Ancient Domain beyond the Ancestral God Pass. So, leave this to me. You are very young, young friend, and already so powerful. You must not die. Your survival is the greatest hope for the resurgence of our human race!"
The figure within the Chaos Mist felt respect but smiled slightly. A divine light sent Di Lan back towards the Human Pass Fortress. "Senior, do not worry. Today, no one can annihilate our human race. If the alien race dares to make a move, they will naturally pay the due price today."
Di Lan, already sent back to the Human Pass Fortress, was anxious. No matter how powerful the figure shrouded in Chaos Mist might be, he couldn't possibly withstand the alien race. Leaving immediately was the right course.
But Will stopped him, smiling easily. "Senior Di Lan, you needn't worry. Since that guy is back, it means nothing will happen to the human race."
"Nothing will happen? Who is he?" Di Lan was startled.
"The most powerful young Heaven's Pride our human race has ever produced," the Human Sovereign's Son said leisurely, not naming names. But Di Lan was suddenly struck with a thought. He looked at the tall figure shrouded in Chaos Mist. Had the legendary human monster who slaughtered Emperor Sons and Daughters returned?
"Return!"
At that moment, in the sky, Qishi Shenwang tried to summon his battle spear back. Yet, no matter how he called or how awesomely the spear erupted with divine might, it simply would not return. That hand seemed like the hand of an Ancient Great Emperor, gripping the spear and suppressing everything.
Boom—
Qishi Shenwang, riding his Primordial Beast King, charged forward like lightning. He also unleashed an Immortal Divine Seal towards the figure who dared to seize his spear, coldly shouting, "Perhaps you are strong, but daring to hold onto this Divine King's battle spear is destined to be a suicidal act."
"Is that so?"
The figure within the Chaos Mist spoke, seemingly with a hint of laughter, yet no matter how one listened, it sounded utterly cold and merciless. He swung a fist, not employing any divine ability or spell, simply meeting Qishi Shenwang's Immortal Divine Seal head-on.
"Seeking death!"
Qishi Shenwang sneered coldly. Even if the other was strong, facing his Immortal Divine Seal bare-handed like this... Even if he had blocked his spear strike earlier, that was only a strike with thirty percent of his power. This Immortal Divine Seal now contained a full seventy percent, more than twice as powerful. It would absolutely blast this arrogant fool to pieces.
Boom—
In the colossal collision, the void for ten thousand miles around directly shattered and annihilated. Yet, to the astonishment of almost everyone, the figure sent flying was not the one shrouded in Chaos Mist, but the famously notorious Qishi Shenwang of the alien race's younger generation. He flew backward like a kite with its string cut, blood spraying.
The Immortal Divine Seal was directly shattered.
"How is this possible?"
Qishi Shenwang could not believe it.
"Nothing is impossible!"
The figure from the Chaos Mist descended from the sky, one foot stamping down towards Qishi Shenwang.
Qishi Shenwang nearly roared. A foot stamping towards him was simply an insult! He wanted to dodge sideways, yet found himself inexplicably unable to move his body. Terrifying, invisible forces from all directions in heaven and earth pressed in, forming a prison that tightly sealed this space, preventing him from moving, forcing him to remain in his original position.
Helpless, Qishi Shenwang could only raise both arms in furious defense.
Crack—
However, that foot seemed to weigh billions of jun, heavier than a starry river. Qishi Shenwang's arms could not bear it. They bent as if broken, crashing against his chest, causing it to cave in. He vomited great mouthfuls of blood.
The Primordial Beast King beneath him was only at the Half-Step Divine King level. If even a fearsome Divine King like Qishi Shenwang couldn't withstand it, how could it? With a shrill roar, its entire body exploded into a bloody mist, its divine soul annihilated along with it.
Boom—
Simultaneously, Qishi Shenwang could no longer endure. He was stamped down from the sky deep into the earth by that foot. With a deafening roar, the entire earth trembled, leaving a crater ten thousand miles wide. Many alien army troops were caught in the aftermath, with numerous weaker alien experts suffering heavy casualties.
Silence reigned across the field!
The mysterious figure shrouded in Chaos Mist was too powerful, like an invincible War God from the Ninth Heaven. In just one encounter, he had stamped down a Divine King-level Supreme Heaven's Pride from an Imperial Clan like Qishi Shenwang, treating him as nothing more than a stepping stone, utterly disdainful.
Too strong!
"You have immense audacity, daring to insult me, Qishi!"
With a tremendous boom, Qishi Shenwang shot up from the depths of the giant crater, covered in dust, his gleaming golden battle armor stained with dirt, his black hair disheveled and chaotic. Gone was his previous divine and majestic bearing; he appeared quite disheveled.
"Insult you?"
The figure within the Chaos Mist seemed to have heard the biggest joke. He laughed heartily, yet with unconcealed mockery. "Even if your clan's Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son were here, he wouldn't dare to shout at me. What qualification does a flawed Supreme Heaven's Pride like you have to be worth my insult?"
Hearing this, countless people shuddered, and many sucked in cold breaths.
The Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son was a true Emperor's Son of his generation, an invincible, strongest Heaven's Pride of his generation. Although he had suffered defeats in the past, it wasn't considered a disgrace, because that person remained a myth and legend circulating throughout the entire Ten Heavens Ancient Domain—the strongest monster capable of slaying Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao progeny, and other supreme Heaven's Prides. There was only one such being in the world.
Across the vast world, aside from that human Heaven's Pride hailed as a myth, who dared claim they could definitely defeat the Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son, let alone say he wouldn't dare shout at someone?
"Seeking death, daring to insult my clan's Emperor's Son Ancestor!"
Qishi Shenwang's eyes filled with boundless killing intent as he stared coldly at the figure in the Chaos Mist. "A coward who hides his head and shows his tail, only knowing how to skulk and hide. Don't you dare show your true face? Today, I'll make you reveal your true form!"
Boom—
At this moment, an extremely terrifying roar suddenly erupted from within his body, as if countless layers of raging waves were continuously exploding. The rumbling roar echoed endlessly, capable of causing the entire sky to collapse, unable to bear it.
In a daze, within him, an incomparably vast power seemed to be awakening, as if an Ancient Great Emperor lay dormant, rousing from endless eons, one era after another, revealing truly peerless, matchless divine might.
Powerful experts from various major forces in the distance were greatly alarmed. "Not good! Qishi Shenwang has actually completed the baptism of the Emperor's Dao inheritance. Now he's beginning to fully activate that supreme Emperor's Dao bloodline. Has he become another Emperor's Son-level figure of the Abandoned Heaven Emperor Clan?"
