Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 726 Yu Zun's Fear

"rise!"

The Empress gave a clear shout, and as the divine sword roared, thousands of sword shadows suddenly froze, and a terrifying killing aura filled the entire world.

"punish!"

The next moment, thousands of sword shadows roared out with a terrifying and sharp aura capable of tearing space apart, piercing towards the figure in the center from all directions.

"Boom! Boom!"

Thousands of sword shadows poured down like a torrential rain, instantly tearing the space where Yu Zun was located to shreds. Terrifying spatial turbulence surged out from the cracks, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Huh? That's interesting."

A mocking murmur drifted from the dilapidated space.

Amidst astonished gazes, Yu Zun's figure slowly emerged, his robes shimmering with an eerie dark light. Any sword shadow that came into contact with it would mysteriously vanish into nothingness.

"It is indeed somewhat surprising that a newly promoted emperor can control such power."

Yu Zun remained calm, his robes untouched, his gaze fixed on the goddess-like figure, a hint of undisguised fervor in his eyes.

The human race, hailed as the pinnacle of all creation, truly possesses unique qualities.

Those who possess the remaining bloodlines of gods and demons can break through to the Supreme Realm and become rulers of a region once their bloodlines awaken to a certain degree.

In contrast, for the human race, this was like an insurmountable chasm stretching across their path.

However, it must be admitted that the human emperors who have entered the Venerable Realm are deeply favored by the Great Dao, a fact that is incomparable to that of other races.

It's unimaginable how much further the human emperors could have advanced if given more time!
Thinking of this, a crimson glint appeared in Yu Zun's eyes.

For them, taking it a step further is simply too difficult.

This is why the Seven Jackals risked their lives to plot for a thousand years.

"If you were given another hundred years, perhaps you would indeed be qualified to fight me."

Yu Zun slowly raised his arm, and nine dark halos suddenly emerged from behind him. His voice suddenly turned gloomy: "Human Emperor, let me show you what true sovereign divine power is."

"boom!"

The nine halos rapidly expanded. Countless skeletal, withered hands emerged from the first halo, crushing the nearby sword shadows. Dark poisonous mist spewed from the second halo, even corroding holes in the space itself.

Even more terrifying, the third halo transformed into a gaping maw, devouring all the sword shadows in front of it, and continued its relentless advance towards the Empress.

The Empress's gaze narrowed slightly, and the Dao Soldier Divine Sword in her hand suddenly rose up, unleashing a burst of three-colored light, like three dazzling galaxies, carrying an invincible aura, and collided violently with the halo.

"Oh!"

With a deafening explosion, the Empress was sent flying hundreds of feet backward, while Yu Zun only trembled slightly, clearly still having some strength left.

"Human Emperor, obediently offer up your primordial blood essence, and I may spare your life."

Yu Zun grinned maliciously, and the aura behind him surged silently, as if this space would be destroyed in the blink of an eye if he so much as made a thought.

"You, a foreign race with impure blood, dare to ask me to sacrifice my life essence?"

The Empress frowned slightly, revealing her unmistakable majesty as the ruler of the land.

Facing this Yu Zun, she did feel somewhat strained. Unless she used her Nascent Soul power, it would be difficult to confront him head-on.

but……

The Empress could sense that although the birth of her nascent soul did not trigger a heavenly tribulation like Qin Yu's, it was definitely related to the secrets of the human bloodline.

If the alien races of the Dark Prison Realm were to discover this, it would likely be a catastrophic disaster for humanity. No one knows what terrifying beings lurk deep within the Dark Prison Realm, but they will absolutely not allow humanity to recapture its former glory.

"What did you say?!"

Yu Zun's expression darkened, as if he had been stung. His expression suddenly turned sinister, and the six halos behind him trembled slightly, as if they were about to burst out at any moment.

How dare a human emperor, revered as a blood sacrifice by the creatures of the Dark Prison Realm, speak of him in such a way?

"If you wish to become the object of other rulers' consumption, I will grant your wish."

The Empress took a deep breath, her imperial robes billowing without wind, and a powerful aura emanated from her body.

As the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty, she possesses the power to determine the fate of the nation.

If she were willing to pay any price, she could forcefully activate the golden dragon of the nation's destiny for her own use.

Although using these methods would have extremely serious consequences and might not necessarily kill Yu Zun, the Empress understands the survival rules of the Dark Prison Realm. Just like how, after the Seven Jackals were injured, there were always rulers roaming around the Wugu Domain. As long as they saw an opportunity, they would probably devour them at all costs.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zun's expression froze, and the trembling aura behind him gradually calmed down.

He was confident that he could overpower the other three rulers in the surrounding four regions, but it was clearly not enough to intimidate them with his own strength.

After the Seven Jackals perished, Yu Zun was the first to enter the Wugu Domain with his powerful strength, but the other rulers were not to be outdone.

Although the other three rulers have not yet appeared, Yu Zun is certain that they are secretly observing every move here.

If this human emperor before me can truly leave him with Dao injuries, my fate might not be much better than that of the Seven Jackals.

Thinking of this, Yu Zun's brows furrowed tightly.

If he could devour the primordial essence and blood of this human emperor, he might be able to activate his bloodline and even advance further.

But what if...

"Yu Zun, don't be sowed discord by this human. I will never take advantage of your vulnerability."

At that moment, an unpleasant voice echoed from the void.

“That’s right, I think so too. Yu Zun, go ahead and take the essence blood of the human emperor. I only want half of the territory of Wugu Domain.”

Immediately afterwards, another authoritative voice rang out.

Upon hearing this voice, the human cultivators in Nine Swords City became extremely solemn. The Sword Master gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness.

The owners of those two voices were clearly alien venerables at the Dominator level!
Moreover, it's unknown whether these are the only two secretly involved.

The sheer power and resources of the alien races in the Dark Prison Realm filled them with despair.

Even though the human race now possesses the Old Celestial Venerable and two newly promoted Emperor Venerables, it is clear that they still cannot shake the fundamental nature of these alien races.

Changing the fate of humanity is a long and arduous task.

Despite the persuasion of the two alien rulers, Yu Zun did not respond.

He wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark on such a verbal promise.

If he and the Empress were to fight to the death, he would probably perish even sooner than the Empress!
Moreover, the human race has gained two new Emperors, in addition to an old Celestial Venerable whose strength is unfathomable.

With this in mind, Yu Zun seemed to have made a decision.

"Gentlemen, if you are tempted, you may go first. I hereby promise that whoever can kill her will have her primordial blood."
