Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 938 Threat
Zhang Haoran had thought it through very clearly. If he were to fight a king one-on-one, he would definitely not have much of a chance of winning. However, with his powerful Undying Body, he could hold out for a while.

Besides, this isn't a one-on-one fight, but a gang fight. As long as he can withstand the frontal attacks and everyone works together, winning won't be difficult. It all depends on how much benefit they can gain.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, another voice rang out.

"Exactly! Who are you trying to scare with that eye? Did someone beat you so badly that only your eyeballs are left?"

Fang Ping, fearless as he was, was the first to recover from the shock. Seeing that even those ancient beings were intimidated by the emperor's aura, he deliberately teased, "Speaking of which, it's been tens of thousands of years since you've appeared before the powerful figures of the Three Realms."

Can't you leave a good impression on everyone?

At least wash your face before you show up!

Look, there's still such a big clump of eye boogers left; it'll scare the kids.

The crowd, who were initially shocked by the appearance of the emperor, were speechless.

These two are incredibly audacious. They're either directly cursing or making sarcastic remarks. It's clear they're truly unafraid of the Emperor.

Although everyone was furious at being tricked by the Emperor and prepared to unite in rebellion, they were still somewhat intimidated when facing the Emperor directly.

There was no way around it; the emperor's power was deeply ingrained in their hearts.

However, after one of them scolded and the other teased, the fear of the emperor disappeared by more than half.

Yeah! We're all ready to fight to the death, so what's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful the emperor is, we'll just go for it.

"Boom boom boom!"

Powerful bursts of energy surged into the sky, dispelling the oppressive aura emanating from them, and everyone's eyes were filled with unprecedented determination.

With concerted efforts, we can overcome any obstacle!

Zhang Haoran and Fang Ping both breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing these auras.

The morale of the army is high! As long as these people can overcome their fear of the emperor, the odds of victory will increase by at least 20%.

The emperor also sensed the change in the aura emanating from the powerful figures of the Three Realms and was immediately enraged.

"How dare you! The majesty of the emperor cannot be challenged!"

Do not force me to leave the place of suppression and take action against you.

Otherwise, it will be a great calamity for the entire Three Realms!

A tremendous sound resounded through the void. Because the other party was too angry when speaking, he lost control of his power, and spatial rifts appeared in the air.

An even more terrifying pressure descended, and all living beings in the three realms prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with fear.

At this moment, the powerful figures on the continent were filled with renewed hope.

They were all roaring in their hearts, "No matter which emperor it is, hurry down to the mortal realm and slaughter these audacious madmen!"

They wouldn't have to die if the emperor descended to the mortal realm.

But will the emperor descend to the mortal realm?
At least not now!

If they could easily descend to the mortal realm, why bother with threats? They could just slap them to death!

Zhang Haoran looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly able to see through the Great Dao and the universe, and said with a disdainful expression: "Stop pretending! If you could easily descend to the mortal realm, you wouldn't just be spouting empty words!"

They spoke with such righteous indignation, as if they were suppressing the source land for the sake of all sentient beings in the Three Realms.

If you're so capable, then don't suppress the source land and see if the Three Realms will be destroyed as a result.

"I'm afraid only you old silver coins will die."

These words clearly shocked the other party greatly. His eyes widened even more, his eyeballs filled with blood vessels, and he said incredulously, "You... how do you know about the Origin Land?"

Zhang Haoran said, as if venting his frustration, "What's it to you how I know!"
If the source hadn't been problematic, there wouldn't have been the great war back then and the conspiracy that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Besides, you dug yourselves into the hole in the source area; you deserve to be trapped. Now you want to use us to fill the hole? What a pipe dream!

Some secrets had been hidden in his heart for too long, and he couldn't tell them to others casually, for fear of causing them to despair and break down.

Now that the emperor has appeared, some things are no longer secrets.

He really wanted to reveal all the secrets at once, so that people in the Three Realms could get to know these old silver coins properly.

At that moment, another voice rang out. It wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

"Ji, you are an emperor, do not stoop to the level of a powerful person from the lower realm."

The time is not yet ripe; we cannot descend upon the Three Realms now, lest we disrupt the order of these realms.

This could lead to some unpredictable consequences.

The other party clearly didn't want them to discuss the source area issue anymore, otherwise their secrets would be exposed, and all their plans would fall apart.

The speaker's voice was not loud, nor did he exude any pressure, yet he gave off a sense of sacred inviolability, and his methods were clearly far more sophisticated than those of the previous emperor.

Zhang Haoran also calmed down upon hearing this voice. He couldn't reveal all the secrets yet; if he ruined the other party's plan, who knew how many emperors would descend to the mortal realm.

A cold sweat broke out on his back as he blamed himself for his impulsiveness.

However, the emperor who came later was truly terrifying. He could calm down just by hearing his voice. He must have been a sixth-tier powerhouse.

At this moment, the voice continued, "Powerful beings of the Three Realms, it is not that we are abandoning you, but that we have more important things to do."

The great battle back then was also out of necessity!

If the Three Heavenly Emperors are not killed, the Path of Origin will no longer exist. At that time, the counterattack of the beginner martial artists will be a great calamity for all Origin experts.

The time is not right yet, so stop making trouble!

In a few years, when the barrier between Heaven and Man breaks down and the Three Realms merge into one, the Great Dao Universe will move closer to the Three Realms.

The energy concentration in the Three Realms, including the human realm, will increase by several levels. At that time, people will be closer to the origin of the universe and will be able to better comprehend the Great Dao. Everyone will be able to improve rapidly.

You only need to wait patiently for a few years, and all the Heavenly Kings will have the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Forcing us to descend to the mortal realm now is utterly unwise!
Once you attain enlightenment, you will naturally understand our good intentions.

The other party has not mentioned the source of the virus, which clearly means they don't want people to know more.

However, he wasn't lying; he told the truth, only some important details were omitted.

Zhang Haoran didn't know how to refute this. Since this person was a sixth-level expert, he couldn't offend him too much. If this person got angry and followed him down to the lower realm, that would be troublesome.

It's too early to challenge a sixth-tier expert now. You have to take things one step at a time; taking too big a step will only lead to disaster.

However, this person was quite formidable; with just a few words, the fearless spirit of the crowd diminished considerably.

No, we can't go on like this.

Before he could figure out how to respond, the giant eye changed direction and said, "Fight! This is my business, and it's none of your concern."

The people of the Three Realms do not understand our good intentions and dare to provoke us like this. We must teach them a lesson.

Otherwise, where would the emperor's majesty be?

That sixth-tier expert was actually the Dou Tian Emperor!
The first of the Four Emperors, and also the oldest leader of the early martial arts.

Zhang Haoran was somewhat relieved that he hadn't continued to provoke him; this guy's blood energy was close to 200 million calories, which was beyond the capabilities of his group.

He knew that this was a performance by Emperor Ji and Emperor Doutian to show everyone that even emperors were not a monolithic entity and that they also had conflicts.

If anyone in the Three Realms can become an emperor, there is certainly a chance to fight for it.

No matter which side you side with, you can get temporary protection.

However, this performance can only fool those fools who don't know the inside story!

Those who truly know the strength of an emperor would not believe it. The Human Emperor's strength was only a little over 90 million units of blood energy. The current Seed is on the side of humanity. This second-generation protector, once dead, is dead; there's no way he can be resurrected.

Dou Tiandi, having entered the Origin from the Extreme Path, is definitely a top-three powerhouse. What does Renhuangji have to challenge him?

If you really offend the Heavenly Emperor, aren't you afraid of being killed and used to fill the hole?
Zhang Haoran didn't want to see the two of them continue their performance. The appearance of the two emperors had already shocked everyone quite a bit. If they continued to talk nonsense, everyone's fighting spirit would be worn down.

He's only thinking about leading the Human Emperor down to the lower realm. Even if he can't kill him directly, he'll at least get some parts off. The blood of the emperor will be of great use once he reaches the boundary.

So he ignored the Heavenly Emperor and continued to provoke him, saying, "So it's the Human Emperor's Era!"

No, you're no longer the Human Emperor. The current Human Emperor is Zhang Tao.

Your throne as emperor has been stripped.

As the emperor, he ignored the suffering of the people and even helped them create the Immortal Source, isolating the human world from spiritual energy.

Over the years, humanity has suffered oppression from the underground caves, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of lives.

And you, as the emperor, turned a blind eye and even aided and abetted the wicked, secretly pulling the strings.

He deserved to be stripped of his throne.

Now that your strength has been greatly diminished, be careful not to get slaughtered and forced to fill the hole!

I'm going to put my words here today.

If you don't descend to the mortal realm to repay the karmic debts you've owed to humanity over the years...

I killed everyone on the patrol envoy's continent.

These are all your subordinates. As a ruler, you should have a sense of responsibility and not let those who follow you down.

"presumptuous!"

"Sword Master, don't go too far."

The giant eye in the sky widened its gaze, filled with rage, but it was only anger; it had no intention of descending to the mortal realm.

"Heh! You actually know my title! It seems you've been spying on me from the Ninth Heaven all along."

Zhang Haoran sneered and said, "You peeping tom! If you don't come down now, I'm going to get physical!"

"Fine, you wait! I'm descending to the mortal realm right now, and today I'll show you why the majesty of an emperor cannot be challenged!"

Divine light burst forth from the giant eye, illuminating a vast expanse of the cosmos.

"Ji! Don't act impulsively, the bigger picture is more important!"

At this moment, a giant hand covered the giant eye. It should be from the Fighting Emperor. It seems that the reason why the Human Emperor could not descend to the mortal world was because the Fighting Emperor stopped him.

Zhang Haoran was too lazy to watch the two of them act anymore, so he decided to add fuel to the fire, this time including Dou Tiandi as well.

He didn't believe that the Heavenly Emperor would actually dare to descend to the mortal realm and extinguish all hope for the powerful beings of the Three Realms.

So he said coldly, "Since you refuse to come down, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Even after killing all of these people, you still refuse to descend to the mortal realm.

I'll go and kill all the cave dwellers.

You ignored the cavemen's invasion of Earth, so you'd better not interfere when I slaughter them.

Even if you kill all the cave dwellers, you still won't descend to the mortal realm.
I wouldn't mind wiping out the demon race too!

When only humans remain, all of them are martial artists who follow the path of Qi and Blood, then there's no need to worry about them being wiped out.

I don't believe you really don't care about the living beings in the Three Realms.

Don't think I'm exaggerating.

I am a swordsman, and I always keep my word!
"If you don't want to see me continue killing, then go down to the mortal realm and kill me!"

The meaning is obvious: if the emperor hadn't descended to the mortal realm today, he would have slaughtered all living beings there. This inspiration still comes from Fang Ping's grand plan.

If the Human Emperor truly refuses to descend to the mortal realm, he wouldn't mind taking all of humanity with him and destroying the underground caves. With the Myriad Realms Tower still standing, he wouldn't die even if the Three Realms returned to chaos.

If things don't work out, we can just move to another world.

These words threatened not only the Human Emperor, but also the Heavenly Emperor, the creator of the Dao of Energy, who was responsible for the transformation of the cave dwellers.

Every martial artist who follows the path of energy will receive significant assistance, with effects similar to those of the Human Emperor's Path.

Once all the cave dwellers are dead, it will be a huge blow to the Heavenly Emperor.

Although he has progressed from the extreme path to the origin, energy is still his greatest reliance; otherwise, the powerful beings in the mortal realm would not still have the energy gate.

Zhang Haoran knew that words alone were useless; he had to make Huang Ji feel the pain firsthand in order to demonstrate his resolve.

Then he looked at Ji Yun. If he remembered correctly, Ji Yun seemed to come from the Human Emperor's Palace.

Is this a coincidence?
Probably not!

Perhaps it was because he saw that Ji Yun was in danger that the Human Emperor showed himself.

Killing him would be tantamount to slapping him in the face in public.

If they still refuse to descend to the mortal realm, the emperor's majesty will vanish, and his disciples will no longer be as loyal as before.

Nobody wants to work with a boss who lacks responsibility.

Most importantly, people in the Three Realms will lose their reverence for the emperor, and will lose a great deal of their faith power.

Zhang Haoran decided to take advantage of the fact that the Emperor had not yet descended to the mortal realm to harvest another wave of Origin Dao.

He pointed forward, and a ray of sword light shot out at an extremely fast speed.

Star-Pointing Sword Technique!

This is a sword technique he created himself; it is not only fast but also quite powerful.

This battle against the second illusory gate was very rewarding for him.

It not only improves one's blood and energy and mental strength, but also makes one more proficient in various martial arts techniques.

In particular, the ability to unleash sword energy is very easy to use.

The process of drawing and swinging the sword is omitted, making the attack speed faster.

Almost as soon as he raised his hand, the sword energy arrived in front of his opponent.

Ji Yun, the mighty Seventh Heaven King, didn't even have time to utter a cry of alarm. He only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain between his brows, as if pierced by a long sword. The next moment, he lost all consciousness.

Zhang Haoran used the Star-Pointing Sword Technique to make the scene look more brutal.

The next moment, a blinding red light burst forth from the blood hole between Ji Yun's eyebrows.

There was a loud bang!
The head exploded like a watermelon, and the headless corpse slowly fell to the ground.

This scene not only shocked the emperor in the Nine Heavens, but also left everyone around them in disbelief.

The mighty Seven Heavenly King couldn't even withstand a single move, and was instantly killed before he could even assume a defensive stance!
Actually, this isn't Zhang Haoran's true strength; he's already powerful enough to instantly kill a Seven Heavenly King.

There is also the merit of the Heavenly Emperor.

He was the one who secretly activated the Heaven-Sealing Technique just now, sealing Ji Yun's Origin Dao.

The method of sealing the heavens was inherently very secretive, and everyone was intimidated by the emperor, which is why they didn't discover it.
