Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The entire Kun Realm began to tremble violently.

Between heaven and earth, countless streams of Spiritual Qi grew incredibly wild. Terrifying storms of power swept across the whole of the Kun Realm.

The members of the Kun-eating Race scattered everywhere—those being hunted down and those laying siege to cities—all seemed to receive a summons.

One by one, they looked up toward the southern part of the Kun Realm.

”Retreat!”

”Return to the clan!”

Every last member of the Kun-eating Race retreated.

All of them withdrew toward the south of the Kun Realm.

The human experts, for their part, did not give chase. The terrifying ripples of power had already alarmed every living being in the Kun Realm.

”What’s going on?”

”I feel my very soul trembling. What in the world is happening?”

”Could it be that a supreme Demon has appeared?”

”What’s there to be afraid of? We have the Sword Venerable! We wouldn’t be scared even if a member of the Kun-eating Race ascended to the Emperor Realm!”

”Fuck, don’t jinx it! That’s the Silent Extinction Blood Demon Tribulation! A member of the Kun-eating Race really *is* ascending to the Emperor Realm...”

”What? No way...”

The entire Kun Realm descended into chaos.

The people, who had been immersed in the joy of their recent victory, now wore solemn expressions.

The Emperor Realm!

A powerful existence, the likes of which had never appeared since the Kun Realm’s birth, was being born at this very moment.

More importantly...

This Emperor Realm existence was a member of the Kun-eating Race.

For the humans of the Kun Realm, this was devastating news.

It was even more despair-inducing than the news that the Kun-eating Race had launched a war of extermination!

「In the southern part of the Kun Realm.」

Here lay another tribe of the Kun-eating Race, but now, all its members had been slaughtered. Their blood and bodies were all absorbed into the altars arranged in the valley.

One hundred and eight altars were arranged in a bizarre formation.

The countless pools of blood and corpses flowed toward the altars. At the center of the 108 altars sat a member of the Kun-eating Race, a hundred meters tall.

The golden scales covering this creature’s body had all turned a vivid, blood-like red.

Its hair and scales had all become blood-red.

Even its sharp claws glowed with a bloody light.

Terrifying bolts of crimson lightning crackled around them, making them look like a supreme demonic weapon.

If Jiang Chen were here, he would have recognized this member of the Kun-eating Race. It was none other than the survivor of the Alu Tribe—Alu Tian!

Alu Tian sat amidst the 108 altars. While Jiang Chen was rushing to reinforce human battlefields, he had sacked 108 tribes of the Kun-eating Race and gathered their 108 altars.

With the experts from the various Kun-eating Race tribes participating in the war of extermination, their homes were left undefended. Alu Tian had slaughtered all the remaining experts within.

They became the power that fully awakened the altars!

RUMBLE!

A crimson cloud stretching for ten thousand miles appeared in the Celestial Vault, and the terrifying Silent Extinction Blood Demon Tribulation descended.

Alu Tian showed no fear. A bloody light surged around him as he controlled the 108 altars, his expression cold and savage. ”Break for me!”

RUMBLE!

The altars flew into the sky, circling Alu Tian’s body.

They formed a crimson fortress.

BOOM!

The endless rain of blood was caught directly by the crimson fortress.

It then transformed into crimson lightning.

Light enveloped Alu Tian. He roared at the sky, his blood-red hair whipping about. ”Wolf God Altars, merge for me!”

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

All 108 altars shrank, flew into Alu Tian’s body, and fused together.

The aura erupting from Alu Tian’s body grew stronger and stronger. Like a Supreme War God, he looked up at the terrifying lightning descending upon him. ”Break!”

BOOM!

BOOM!

He threw punch after punch. The altars pulsed with a bloody light, granting Alu Tian unparalleled combat prowess as he withstood the bombardment of crimson lightning. His body was blasted apart time and again, spewing geysers of blood. A mist of blood spread for a hundred miles, enveloping the entire mountain range in a hazy, crimson glow.

”ROAR!”

Alu Tian let out a long roar. The 108 altars bloomed with a brilliant light, and pillars of blood shot into the sky, instantly healing his injured body.

’Just one more wave of attacks, and I’ll reach the Emperor Realm. Jiang Chen, you killed my child and annihilated my tribe! I will tear you to shreds!’ Alu Tian’s eyes blazed with cold, furious light as he roared again and again.

The final, terrifying saber of blood lightning descended.

Alu Tian’s hundred-meter-tall body was sent flying, half of it blown to pieces as he crashed to the ground.

The mountain range, stretching for a hundred miles, was pulverized by his impact.

「A moment later...」

A pillar of bloody light shot into the sky. Alu Tian was wreathed in it, a supreme demonic might radiating in all directions. He let out a great laugh. ”Hahahaha... I finally succeeded! I, Alu Tian, have finally stepped into the Emperor Realm. However, I just passed the Silent Extinction Blood Demon Tribulation, and my injuries are too severe. Once I recover, it will be time for Jiang Chen’s head to roll!”

’No, I can’t let him die so easily.’

’Don’t the humans of the Kun Realm call him Sword Venerable and treat him as their savior? Excellent. I will defeat this savior of yours in front of all the humans in the Kun Realm. Then, I will slaughter every last human right in front of Jiang Chen’s eyes. Finally, I will make you wish for death, subject you to endless torture, and then devour you!’

Alu Tian’s eyes were filled with hatred and venom. A bloody light shot toward the Ninth Stage of heaven.

It transformed into a colossal, crimson figure.

It stood tens of thousands of meters tall!

A voice like thunder, booming like war drums, swept across the entire Kun Realm. ”I am Alu Tian of the Kun-eating Race... Jiang Chen, one month from now, on Celestial Blood Peak outside Blood Jade City... a battle to the death!”

”One month from now, on Celestial Blood Peak outside Blood Jade City, a battle to the death!”

”A battle to the death!”

”To battle!”

The mighty voice echoed through the skies of the Kun Realm, heard clearly by every living being.

「Outside Mountain Sea City.」

Jiang Chen’s eyes were narrowed. As the mighty voice echoed in his ears, his eyes narrowed further, a blazing battle intent flaring within them. ”Alu Tian? He’s already broken through to the Emperor Realm? One month from now, Celestial Blood Peak outside Blood Jade City? I, Jiang Chen, accept this challenge!”

An incredibly brilliant light erupted from his eyes.

’So what if you’ve ascended to the Emperor Realm?’

’I, Jiang Chen, stand between heaven and earth. I fear not even the heavens themselves, so why would I fear a battle with you!’

The blood in Jiang Chen’s veins began to boil like water...

News of this battle swept through the Kun Realm like a plague. Humans and members of the Kun-eating Race alike all began to converge on Celestial Blood Peak outside Blood Jade City.

This was not only a battle between Jiang Chen and Alu Tian; it was the battle that would truly decide who would live and who would die—the humans or the Kun-eating Race.

A battle between the Human Emperor and an Emperor Realm master...

A battle of the Peak!
