Chapter 189 The Emperor Emerges (Three more ten-thousand-word chapters, please subscribe!)_1
An aura of terror filled the heavens and the earth, reaching everywhere, as if a divine Buddha had descended to the world. The entire imperial palace, indeed the entire Tiandu, or even all of Shen Zhou, was enveloped by this aura.
Even more, this earth-shaking aura continued to spread towards farther areas.
Countless people throughout the land, including the common folk and especially those of Tiandu, all witnessed this heart-stirring scene. The people of Shen Zhou and other regions even thought it was the descent of a deity and immediately knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing in the direction of Tiandu.
"This aura...it's the Emperor, the Emperor of Da Xia!"
Mr. Gongsun's expression changed as he instantly realized that in the whole of Tiandu, or rather, in all the lands under heaven, the only one with such earth-shattering strength was the Emperor of Da Xia alone!
Not only Mr. Gongsun perceived the aura as that belonging to the Emperor, across the entire land, many martial arts masters at the very least were sensing this aura that oppressed the world.
Without exception, the first figure to emerge in the minds of these people was undoubtedly the present Emperor of Da Xia.
"Emperor, have you achieved the realm of Heaven Man?!" In every corner, upon witnessing this scene, grandmasters and even greater grandmasters couldn't help but murmur to themselves in their hearts.
If the current Emperor of Da Xia had indeed achieved the rank of the Heavenly Man realm, then the turbulent undercurrents in the states would immediately calm down.
Moreover, the states would achieve an unprecedented unification.
Since the late ancient times until now, tens of thousands of years had passed, yet no martial artist of the Heavenly Man realm appeared again in the states.
The Heavenly Man realm, this ultimate pinnacle of martial arts, only existed in legends; no one had ever reached it.
If the Emperor of Da Xia had truly reached the Heavenly Man realm...then the world would be without disputes, and the states would surely be unified under Da Xia.
In this moment, within the grand hall of the imperial palace, sensing this familiar aura, the Crown Prince's face suddenly broke into a rich expression of joy and said, "It's the imperial father, this is the imperial father's aura, the imperial father has emerged from seclusion!"
At these words, all the ministers were shaken, their faces filled with shock, and they looked towards the rear mountain of the imperial palace.
King Huai remained calm, his eyes sparkling, also looking in that direction.
"Imperial brother, have you come out of seclusion?"
At this moment, behind the imperial palace, on the rear mountain, the pillar of light that connected heaven and earth slowly dissipated, and then, a figure burst out from among the mountains, stepping into the void and heading straight for the sky.
All people could only see a silhouette from behind, the figure's build broad and solid, as if a pair of shoulders could support the heaven and earth. He stood suspended in the air high above, his majestic presence overwhelming, with black hair cascading down like a waterfall, embodying the prowess of swallowing thousands of miles.
He wore a nine-dragon robe, embroidered with landscapes, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars—could this be anyone but the Emperor of Da Xia?!
The entire world trembled and resounded at the appearance of this figure!
The Emperor of Da Xia stood as if he were the ruler of this world. His emergence instantly turned him into the center of the entire world and all of the states. Enjoy more content from empire
In this instant, within the inner city of Tiandu, on the top floor of the Star Gazing Platform at the Bagua Building of Qintian Monitor, the white-haired Tower Supervisor also saw the Emperor's silhouette in the sky. Without rising, he sat and gazed from afar, his snow-white beard falling to the ground, sadness lingering deep within his pupils.
The Emperor stood aloof, walking in the void as if on flat ground. His eyes were profound, and at this moment, he, merging with the world of the states, was like the way of heaven itself. In such a state, there was nothing in the world that could escape his perception.
The Emperor naturally felt the Tower Supervisor's gaze from the Qintian Monitor, but he did not speak. Eyes filled with supreme dignity swept across the world, shining brighter than even the sun above the firmament.
Such might, such vigor, there was no second to be found in the world today!
At this moment, the Emperor's majestic figure collided with the thick bolt of lightning, and an instant later, the world, darkened by the covering clouds, was bathed in brightness for a moment. It was like thousands of lights exploded at the same time, excessively dazzling.
The next second, a resounding buzz was heard, and people saw the Emperor of Da Xia bathed in endless lightning, splitting the terrifying bolt with his bare hands.
"Emperor!"
"Emperor!"
Although it was unclear what was happening before their eyes, at this moment, all throughout Da Xia, all citizens were cheering, celebrating the return of their sovereign.
The Emperor's aura was unmatched, his fighting spirit potent enough to tear apart the heavens and split the earth. His piercing gaze fixed on the firmament above, where three more thick bolts of lightning descended, like three pillars bearing the weight of the sky.
But the Emperor was fearless. His dark hair billowed out, his eyes shone brightly, and he exuded a majestic and intimidating presence. Then, a punch brightened the skyline, even more brilliant than the lightning that had been falling from the heavens.
In that instant, the heaven and earth responded to each other, and an infinite might descended, merging with the Emperor to become one. He became the sole sovereign over this land of Shen Zhou!
In the blink of an eye, the world shook. Golden light and auspicious hues illuminated both heaven and earth as the Emperor's robust figure, facing endless lightning, rose against the current. Regardless of the thunder tribulation he faced, not a hair on his head was harmed.
Rumble!
The Emperor's formidable body moved, and in an instant, eighty-one heavenly dragons soared into the sky, their roars shaking the heavens and daunting the earth as they burst into the vast clouds above.
Crack!
In a flash of lightning and thunderous claps, the eighty-one heavenly dragons tore through the dense leaden clouds, creating a massive breach, splitting the dim world apart, and once more lighting up Shen Zhou.
"Father Emperor!"
Seeing this spectacle, the Crown Prince shouted excitedly. Similarly, countless ministers rejoiced. Witnessing the Emperor's divine might capable of defying the heavens, they were all overjoyed beyond measure, quivering uncontrollably in their excitement.
Among the six sacred lands, a voice murmured to itself, "Ji Xuandao, you are truly worthy of being a descendant of the ancients, the foremost great figure of Shen Zhou. It's just a pity you were born out of time. In the face of this overwhelming destiny of the cosmos, your desire to defy the heavens and challenge fate is doomed to failure!"
"Had you been born in the ancient times, you would surely have been a supreme powerhouse of the Celestial realm, standing atop the pinnacle of martial arts, able to shatter the void and achieve eternity!"
"Alas, you were born in this era, at the wrong time..."
Crack!
In the next moment, as the Emperor cleaved through clouds bathed in lightning, from the high reaches of the heavens, a bolt hundreds of zhang in size struck down. It was like the profound thunder of the nine heavens, its blazing and intense brilliance flashed by, illuminating all of Shen Zhou, the entire world, in a blinding light!
That light was too dazzling, blinding for anyone to look at directly, and as a result, in that moment, everyone in Shen Zhou closed their eyes.
"Roar..."
Only a heaven-shaking roar was heard, followed by an earth-shattering rumble. The whole world once again fell into darkness, save for those continuous dazzling flashes of lightning. Even with eyes tightly shut, and despite being infinitely far away, one could still feel the painful sting, with tears uncontrollably falling.
No one knew what had happened, nor could anyone see clearly or understand what transpired, except for the relentless lightning and the incessant thunder, which drowned even the Emperor's voice.
"Man is destined to triumph over heaven. I," he bellowed, "am determined to wrestle with destiny for this life!"
In the end, all that people heard was this ferocious roar, and then, even with closed eyes, their vision was overwhelmed by a vast expanse of white light.
