Chapter 940 The Emperor Descends to the Mortal Realm

These emperors are really vicious; they actually went and sealed them all away.

If someone is killed, they may have a chance to revive, but once they are sealed by the Emperor, they can basically forget about escaping.

The initial martial arts experts have been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and none of them have been able to break free.

Zhang Haoran wasn't afraid of being sealed away; he had the Myriad Realms Tower, and no one could stop him from leaving if he wanted to.

However, he needed to make some preparations in advance, so he immediately contacted the Myriad Realms Tower and purchased a teleportation service for 100 million value points.

Once he is sealed away, or loses consciousness due to other circumstances, he will be immediately teleported back to the Myriad Realms Tower, leaving only a fake body outside.

This is mainly to prevent even consciousness from being sealed away.

He breathed a sigh of relief after doing all that. It's always better to be prepared than not; being cautious is never a bad thing.

At this moment, the God Emperor's voice came again: "Ji! I'm entrusting the affairs of the lower realm to you!"
There's no need to hold back. With us securing the Immortal Source, even if a few more Heavenly Kings die, it won't matter.

Whether to kill or seal the Sword Master and Zhang Tao is up to you.

Alright, go down to the mortal realm now!

Go early and return early; don't linger too long in the Three Realms.

In fact, the God Emperor sent the Human Emperor down to the mortal realm partly to test the strength of the powerful beings in the Three Realms.

If it were the Spirit Emperor, the Southern Emperor, and the Beast Emperor—these emperors with the lowest strength—they would descend to the mortal realm.

With the strength that Zhang Haoran and his group have gathered, they might actually be able to surround and kill them, which would be a loss for them.

Not taking that energy back to fill the hole would be a waste; if we were to try to seize it, we would have to send more emperors down to the mortal realm, and then the situation would completely spiral out of control.

If top-tier powerhouses like Donghuang and Doutiandi were sent down to the mortal realm, their strength would be too great, causing the powerhouses of the Three Realms to completely despair. Without seeing any hope, they might cause some trouble.

Sending the Human Emperor down to the mortal realm is just right!
His strength is neither the best nor the worst; he'll likely suffer some losses but won't be killed.

It can both test the strength of the powerful beings in the Three Realms and allow them to vent their anger. Once they realize that they are capable of fighting against the emperor, the powerful beings in the Three Realms will work even harder to cultivate.

The next moment, the auras of the God Emperor and the Fighting Emperor disappeared, and the Great Dao stopped trembling. It seemed that they had gone to stabilize the Immortal Source. Only the Human Emperor's pressure grew heavier and heavier.

Zhang Haoran's heart skipped a beat.

"Holy crap, we're going down to the mortal realm so soon? This doesn't fit the original script!"

He was indeed forcing the Human Emperor to descend to the mortal realm, constantly targeting him, because he was afraid they would replace him. If one of the higher-ranking emperors were to descend, it would be difficult to deal with them.

However, I didn't expect the Human Emperor to descend to the mortal realm now; there are still many things I haven't prepared!
At the very least, the God-Forging Envoy must be released first. Without the false path he created, how could Fang Ping enter the Great Dao Universe and destroy the Gate of Blood and Qi?

True blood was a treasure he had been coveting.

The God-Forging Envoy is an extremely powerful expert who has broken through the eighth level. He even used a divine artifact to replace the bones on his body, making him the best tank. Without him standing in front, how can I safely deal damage?
Most importantly, once the Human Emperor receives the blessing of the Gate of Blood and Qi, to what extent will his strength increase? Will our group still be able to defeat him?

In the original story, it was Hongyu who sent a signal to ask for help again before the Human Emperor descended to the mortal realm. Why is he so impatient now?

Actually, this is also Zhang Haoran's fault for killing too ruthlessly and going too far in provoking others.

Now that three Heavenly Kings have died, and there are still more than a dozen Saints and Emperors left, how dare the emperors wait any longer?

"No! We have to find a way to rescue the God-Forging Envoy as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many variables."

If all else fails, have the Myriad Realms Tower release him, then alter the memories of the God-Forging Envoy to make him believe he found a way to escape.

Before he could figure out what to do, the Human Emperor had already begun his descent to the mortal realm.

"Boom!"

A violent fluctuation came from the Great Dao Universe, and the entire space trembled. In the deepest part of the Great Dao Universe, the golden light had transformed into a towering figure that reached the sky.

This is the Annals of the Human Emperor.

He slowly emerged from the depths of the universe. His figure was incredibly tall and majestic, and divine light burst forth from his body, illuminating the entire Great Dao Universe.

The Human Emperor, dressed in magnificent robes, his head resting on the imperial crown, his hands clasped behind his back, took a step forward, traversing millions of miles, and laughed loudly: "Haha! Sword Master! Haven't you been forcing me to descend to the mortal realm all this time?"
"Now I, the Emperor, have arrived!"

Emperor Ji gritted his teeth and said, "I will seal you in the eye of the Forbidden Sea to endure endless negative energy impacts."

Isn't it said that swordsmen have a very strong will?

Let's see how long you can last.

"I really want to see you break down."

He had already decided to use these people as dumping grounds, and then transfer any negative energy he might experience onto them in the future.

A towering figure, radiating boundless light, emerged step by step from the depths of the universe.

With each step he took, the surrounding starry sky trembled, and waves of imperial aura, mixed with immense pressure, swept over everyone.

"Boom!"

The Six Heavenly Kings, including Xun Wang, subconsciously took a few steps back, sweat dripping from their foreheads, as they endured both physical and mental pressure.

It seems that the Emperor wants to subdue the enemy without fighting, instilling fear in everyone through constant pressure.

At this level of combat, it's all about momentum.

Once the momentum is lost, it's considered good if you can only exert 80% of your full strength.

Facing seven experts who had broken through to the eighth level, plus dozens of Heavenly Kings, the Human Emperor dared not be careless. He wanted to first break down their psychological defenses, and then divide them into groups, recruiting some and attacking others.

Seal away all those powerful and unruly individuals.

Descendants of emperors like Tianji and Yueling can be returned; otherwise, without a leader, the Three Realms will only become more chaotic. Incidentally, this would also do the Northern Emperor and the Western Emperor a favor.

A wave of imperial aura pressed down, and those who had broken through to the sixth and seventh Heavenly Kings felt immense pressure and resisted desperately.

However, the seven supreme experts saw something different.

If the Human Emperor is resorting to tricks, it means he lacks confidence in defeating the powerful beings of the Three Realms with absolute strength.

Otherwise, one should crush them squarely and decisively to demonstrate the majesty of the emperor!

The several experts who had broken through to the eighth level exchanged glances, all of them seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

Since the Human Emperor couldn't crush them with absolute power, there was still a chance to fight, and everyone saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

However, we can't let those who have broken through to level six or seven really collapse. They have a lot of people and are also a very important fighting force.

Boom boom boom!
Powerful bursts of energy surged into the sky, dispersing the overwhelming pressure.

Zhang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Emperor still had the mind to play tricks.

Judging from the looks of it, it will take some time before they can leave the Great Dao Universe.

There's still time to make some arrangements.

Zhang Haoran immediately said to everyone, "Alright, now that the Human Emperor has descended to the mortal realm, everyone should quickly bring out whatever trump cards they have."

Let's give it our all this time!
Success! The Path to Emperor is now open to everyone; failure means being sealed away.

If even if we gather all the strongest beings from the Three Realms, we still can't defeat the Human Emperor, who is ranked relatively low in strength, then there's no point in struggling any longer!

He looked at Li Zhu and said, "You should release the seal bearer as well. Now, more people mean more strength, and having another Seventh Heavenly King is a great help."

Li Zhu was shocked at first, then his gaze became complicated as he stared at Zhang Haoran and asked, "You knew all along that Master was sealed in the Origin Space by me, which is why you kept launching Origin Attacks."

So his goal is to get me to release him?

Li Zhu truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran; he had barely hinted at anything before the other party had already guessed the gist of it.

However, he will not admit it.

Zhang Haoran said disdainfully, "I don't even know the Seal Master, why should I care whether he lives or dies."

I'm reminding you because I'm afraid you'll be betrayed at a crucial moment.

Your master is the Seven Heavenly Kings, it's time for him to make a statement.

Of course, if you're unwilling, then continue the suppression; I will never force you.

You old silver coin enthusiasts just love to overthink things.

"Really?"

Li Zhu still couldn't quite believe it. He had a feeling that the other party had wanted to force him to release the Palm Seal Envoy.

But as Zhang Haoran said, he's only in his twenties, it's impossible for him to have any connection with the Seal Envoy, and there's no need for him to do so.

"Anyway, I don't want to get involved in your messy affairs as master and disciple. I'm letting you release the Palm Seal Envoy so that we can have more combat power. Whether you release him or not is up to you."

Zhang Haoran ignored Li Zhu and scanned the people on the inspection continent, unleashing a terrifying killing intent.

"Everyone! Before we face the Human Emperor, shouldn't we deal with these trash first, so they don't cause us any trouble later?"

I know many of these people are old acquaintances of yours, so you don't need to do anything. Just keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't self-destruct.

He was excited to be able to harvest another wave of Origin Dao. Golden light flowed over the Blood Shadow Sword, and he would make his move as soon as everyone agreed.

The Heavenly Emperor was also making preparations in silence.

Li Zhu immediately spoke up to dissuade him, saying, "Sword Master! Wait a moment!"

I think we shouldn't keep killing them; at least these Heavenly Kings can't die yet!
If too much killing occurs, the Immortal Source might really run into problems.

You must understand that the Immortal Source is the lifeblood of all emperors; if anything goes wrong with it, they will all go crazy.

You wouldn't want to face off against all the emperors right now, would you?

"Humph!"

Zhang Haoran snorted and said, "Their Dao Fruits are still in their origin. Without someone to help suppress them, even if their true bodies descend to the lower realm, they can only exert 30% of their strength."

It would be a good thing if they went down to the mortal realm together!

That solves everything!

He knew that such a thing was impossible. The emperors were not stupid. They would not impulsively send all their true forms down to the mortal realm. They would definitely leave some people behind to suppress the source land and send the other emperors down to the mortal realm.

At this moment, the commander of troops also joined in the dissuasion, saying, "I also think it's best not to be too radical!"

Currently, we can barely handle it with only the Human Emperor descending to the mortal realm. If one or two more emperors were to descend, we might truly be sealed away.

Not only did these two disagree with his continued killing, but even Fang Ping transmitted his voice, saying, "Senior Brother Zhang, you can't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."

I know you want those original paths, and I'm actually craving them too, but we really can't kill any more now.

I think we should consider how to kill the treacherous Emperor Ji. That's a path to becoming an emperor, worth more than all the paths here combined.

Fang Ping said greedily, "Hehe! Senior Brother Zhang, if you don't need it, you can consider selling it to me. This time, I guarantee I can offer you a treasure of equal value in exchange."

The equivalence that Fang Ping mentioned does not necessarily mean that they are equivalent in terms of level; he can bring out more low-level resources to make up the difference.

Zhang Haoran glanced at Fang Ping with disdain. What was this kid thinking? He wanted the Emperor's Path.

Even if he could actually defeat the Human Emperor and obtain a path to becoming an emperor, wouldn't he exchange it for a sword path? Wouldn't it be better to absorb it himself?

A path to becoming a king would at least allow him to reach the ninth level.

True blood and life essence can definitely be extorted from the Queen of Humanity after defeating her. Even if we don't have them now, we can find a way to get them later.

There are only a handful of paths to the Emperor's throne in the Three Realms, and he will not give them up to anyone else.

Moreover, Zhang Haoran was certain that he couldn't kill the Human Emperor this time. If he were in danger of falling, an Emperor would definitely step in to stop him.

Even if they didn't care about the life or death of the Human Emperor, they wouldn't allow that energy to be taken away by the powerful beings of the Three Realms, otherwise the situation in the Origin Land would become increasingly worse.

Seeing that everyone disagreed with his decision to continue the killing spree, Zhang Haoran decided not to insist on going his own way.

If we cannot eliminate potential risks in advance, then we should strengthen our own capabilities.

He sheathed the Blood Shadow Sword and said somewhat helplessly, "Since everyone disagrees, let's put it aside for now."

However, even if we were to defeat the Human Emperor, we would have to pay a considerable price.

We still need to find a way to bring in more people.

"Oh!"

Hongkun asked curiously, "You mean, let more strong people join?"
However, most of the powerful figures from the Three Realms are here. There are still some powerful figures who haven't come, which means they are definitely unwilling to participate in the battle.

It's too late to coerce them.

"Whether it's too late or not, I have to try! I'm going to release the God-Forging Envoy."

He is a top-tier expert who has broken through the eighth level, and he has even forged his entire skeleton into a divine artifact, making him a very qualified tank.

With him leading the charge, our chances of victory are much greater.

"The God-Forging Envoy?"

The Sea Guardian said excitedly, "Do you know where the God Forging Envoy is? Then hurry up and tell him to come over."
The Divine Forger is not only the best weapon-forging expert in the Three Realms, but also incredibly powerful, definitely no less than my own.

When the Heavenly Court conferred titles upon the Three Envoys and Eight Kings, the Three Envoys were: the Envoy in Charge of Military Affairs, the Envoy in Charge of Seals, and the Envoy in Charge of Sea Defense. The Envoy in Charge of Casting Gods was not among the Three Envoys because he did not hold any power.

However, his status in the Heavenly Court was no less than that of the Three Envoys. This was not only because of his superb weapon-refining skills, but also because of his extremely strong strength. He was already a supreme expert back then, and he should be at the peak of the eighth level now.

If a God-Forging Envoy could join us, our chances of defeating the Human Emperor would be much greater.

Zhang Haoran shrugged and said helplessly, "I know where the God-Forging Envoy is, but I can't release him."

We need your help with this.

To release the Divine Forging Envoy, you need to collect thirty-six Saint Tokens and eight Heavenly King Seals. Missing one or two is fine, but you can't be missing too many.

The Sea Guardian asked in bewilderment, "Why is this happening? Why is the God-Forging Envoy trapped? Who is behind this?"

The commander of the troops said with a very complicated look in his eyes, "The Sage's Decree and the Heavenly King's Seal both represent the fortune of the ancient Heavenly Court. Since they need to be gathered together to be unsealed, it must be the work of the emperor."

At this moment, he was completely disillusioned with the emperor.
