All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

171: Chapter 170 The Gentle EmperorReturn to Ruins.

World of the Dead.

A great power suddenly appeared, only to instantly vanish into Ye Xiu’s body.

This caused him, who had been focused on absorbing the power of death, to have some doubts.

”Is it an illusion?”

Ye Xiu looked up in confusion.

Beneath the fair weather, everything was so peaceful.

After searching for a long time and finding nothing unusual, he shook his head slightly and continued to absorb the power of death.

In his Sea of Consciousness.

With the support of the power of death, the Heavenly Emperor Sutra had made great progress.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the fifth level.

And the fifth level of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra was a Realm for tempering the Immortal Body and achieving the Immortal Position.

If he could successfully step into it...

...then he would truly have entered the ranks of those in the Supreme Realm.

Main World.

As time passed.

Some of the Supreme Realm existences who had self-extinguished in the depths of the world could no longer sit still; they awakened one after another, wanting to stop Ji Xingyue’s merger.

The world shook.

Someone had just poked their head out...

...when they saw the originally illusory River of Time suddenly solidify.

The river formed by the Dao was churning violently, and an Emperor, with his back turned to the Main World, was currently blocking the end of the river.

He would not let any existence cross the river and enter the lower reaches.

”Human Emperor, what exactly is going on with the Main World?”

Martial Venerable looked toward the lower reaches of the river.

That was the direction of the Main World, covered entirely by the Human Emperor’s aura; even he found it difficult to probe inside.

”It’s nothing. Zui is fighting with the Eastern Emperor. You know how it is—that dog of an Eastern Emperor has been guarding secrets his whole life. It’s quite annoying.”

The Human Emperor looked helpless: ”The combat fluctuations are too great, so I had to seal it off. Brother Martial, you don’t doubt me, do you?”

”No, it’s just that I’m feeling restless, as if something big is about to happen.”

Martial Venerable frowned: ”Human Emperor, your Imperial Court isn’t pulling any tricks in the Main World, are you?”

”Tricks... Brother Martial, as teammates, we cannot have internal conflict. Could it be that some people with ulterior motives have deliberately pulled some tricks, wanting to divide our Alliance?”

The Human Emperor’s words were very sincere.

After speaking, he even directly cleared a path for Martial Venerable.

”If you don’t believe me, Brother Martial, you can go to the Main World and see for yourself. That dog of an Eastern Emperor humiliated the Xing Clan again last time. As their leader, you really should go and get some Face back.”

Looking at the path the Human Emperor had cleared just for him.

Martial Venerable was stunned. He pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not step across.

The Xing Clan followed him.

They fully supported him in the Boundary Sea, and he already felt guilty for not avenging them back then.

Furthermore, by stopping the Red-Haired Monster in the Boundary Sea, he was also indirectly helping the Eastern Emperor.

If he entered the Main World this time...

...and faced the Eastern Emperor but couldn’t kill him, he wouldn’t be able to save his Face as the boss.

”Forget it, Human Emperor, I believe you.”

After saying that.

Just as he was about to leave.

He saw the dozen or so Supreme Realm existences who had come with him speak up.

”Human Emperor, regardless of the Eastern Emperor, I want to go to the Main World to take a look. I just feel like something big is happening.”

”What are you things? Do you deserve the same treatment as Martial Venerable?”

The Human Emperor did not give these Supreme Realm existences, who were between the Monarch Realm and the King Realm, a kind look. Martial Venerable valued Face, so he could use reverse psychology to stabilize him.

If these people were allowed to enter the Main World...

...and discovered that the Main World was already being swallowed, it would likely cause a huge mess.

Even if he was strong...

...he couldn’t block everyone.

After all, in the Boundary Sea, there were still several others with the same [Supreme Position] as him.

If they found out he was plotting against the Main World...

...in this Boundary Sea...

...there would likely be another monstrous war.

”Hehe... Since the Human Emperor has said so, how about everyone give some Face?” Martial Venerable was clearly very pleased by the Human Emperor’s words. He laughed loudly and began to advise everyone to leave.

”Human Emperor, Martial Venerable, you have already formed an Alliance and are singing the same tune. Do you take us for idiots?”

In the crowd.

A Cultivator over three meters tall spoke up with dissatisfaction.

As a member of the Guixing Pavilion, with several Venerable Realm experts behind him, he was not afraid of the Human Emperor and Martial Venerable.

”Yuan, are you courting death?”

Before the Human Emperor could speak, Martial Venerable was already cursing unhappily. To not give him Face in public meant he wasn’t being taken seriously at all.

”I am merely acting on the orders of Immortal Venerable Hongfa to go and investigate the Main World. Your Excellency Martial Venerable, please forgive me.”

”What kind of bullshit Immortal Venerable? What does the Main World have to do with that turtle grandson Hongfa? Get lost, or don’t blame me for bullying you.”

”You...”

”You what? Get lost...”

Martial Venerable directly slapped him.

It was an ordinary slap, yet it contained world-destroying power.

Yuan did not dare to take it head-on.

He flew away.

”Pah, coward. Hey, do you all have anything else to do? If not, get lost. I, Martial Venerable, guarantee with my reputation that the Human Emperor’s words can be trusted.”

”Good brother.”

The Human Emperor gave Martial Venerable a look.

”Small matter.”

Martial Venerable waved his hand slightly.

Then he glared at the crowd, waiting for their response.

The dozen or so Supreme Realm existences’ expressions flickered.

With the Human Emperor and Martial Venerable joining forces, even if they didn’t believe the Human Emperor’s words, they probably wouldn’t get a good outcome if they started a fight.

They had no choice but to leave the River of Time with dissatisfaction.

”Human Emperor, do you need me to hold down the fort? Those brutes from the Guixing Pavilion might come back to cause trouble.”

”Hehe... Brother Martial, then I will have to trouble you.”

The Human Emperor smiled gently, looking completely harmless.

Main World.

The Eastern Emperor looked at the River of Time, a trace of wariness in his eyes.

Martial Venerable has joined forces with the Human Emperor?

That figure standing beside the Human Emperor was indeed undoubtedly Martial Venerable.

Could it be that Martial Venerable is involved in all of this?

But letting Venerable Mu swallow the Main World should be a matter of only harm and no benefit to Martial Venerable. Could there be some dirty deal?

In the world.

Areas that originally had other disturbances.

All fell silent after seeing the two figures in the River of Time.

A single Imperial Court was not something they could provoke.

Adding a Martial Venerable made it even more untouchable.

After all, behind Martial Venerable was not just one person; most of the clans from the Taichu Era followed Martial Venerable, and in the Boundary Sea, they counted as a significant force.

Xing Mu saw the two figures in the River of Time.

Her originally solemn expression eased up quite a bit.

She looked into the depths of Chaos; although the battle there wouldn’t be decided anytime soon, the Peak King Realm Blade Master definitely couldn’t beat a [Supreme Position].

Without any hesitation.

She spoke to the woman beside her: ”Sister Yun, go help Sword Lord Li Si. I am enough here.”

The cold woman nodded.

With a slight step, she had already vanished into the Main World.
