Thunderbolt: I Became the Human Emperor in the Bitter Realm

Thinking of this, Di Ming fell into deep thought. If it were to reappear, the consequences would be unparalleled, absolutely unbelievable, yet undeniable. Everything about it was hard to ignore.

"No, we can't wait any longer, or we'll lose control."

Having made up his mind and knowing what to do, he would not hesitate or waver, because he knew in his heart that this was something that had to be done, otherwise, relying solely on Yi Ye Shu, he probably wouldn't be able to control such terrifying power of darkness.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and disappeared before the darkness.

Chen Yu led Sui Wulei to a valley, where the two stood silently, gazing at the place before them.

"The road to Fengdu is a martyr's path, where heroes are buried in the wilderness. Heaven is silent, earth is speechless, and mortals do not regard humanity as the lowest of the low. The end times are here, and there is no theism."

Di Ming looked at the people with their backs to him and those who were wary of him, and bowed, saying, "Di Ming greets His Majesty the Human Emperor."

After hearing this, Chen Yu turned around and said, "No need for formalities, we're not strangers anymore. Speak, what brings you here again?"

Di Ming also spoke frankly: "I wonder if Your Majesty can control the power of Darkness and Sunlight."

"The power of Dark Sun and the power of Blood Darkness, I haven't seen them yet, so I don't know about them."

Chen Yu spoke frankly, admitting he genuinely didn't know. He had never seen it before, so naturally he was unaware of the Dark Sun's strength.

It had clearly exceeded his expectations. After two hundred years of his rule, the population of the Bitter Realm had exploded. Then he abdicated and disappeared from the Bitter Realm. The Bitter Realm was once again in chaos and bloodshed, and the terror of the Dark Sun was even more astonishing.

Upon hearing this, Di Ming bowed and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to accompany me on a journey to the Yellow Springs, three thousand feet deep."

After hearing this, Chen Yu looked at him in surprise, then nodded and said, "Alright, since you are so sincere, I will not say any more. Let's go."

With Di Ming leading the way, Chen Yu led Sui Wulei into the Yellow Springs, three thousand feet deep.

The place was incredibly dark and filled with a chilling aura, making it even more eerie and terrifying.

Moreover, the Yellow Springs, three thousand feet deep, are not just one place; there are many places in the Bitter Realm, so they should not be underestimated.

"Your Majesty, this way please."

Chen Yu was not afraid. As the saying goes, "skill breeds boldness," and his strength meant he would not be intimidated.

This was the first time Sui Wulei had come to such a place, and he was not afraid. After all, he had experienced life and death and darkness, so he was not afraid. However, he always remained vigilant.

The group arrived at their destination, before the Dark Sun.

The enormous Dark Sun was formed by the Earthly Netherworld using the power of countless years of blood darkness, making it truly extraordinary and utterly terrifying.

Sui Wulei was also shocked when he saw it. No way, such terrifying power of darkness is too amazing.

　This slight difference in version 2.0 is immediately noticeable and there are no issues.

Such an amazing effect is beyond words, and it leaves one with a profound feeling.

"What a terrifying smell."

That was her first thought; it seemed like a terrifying, world-destroying disaster was about to strike.

Chen Yu also sensed it; it was indeed astonishing, and the amount collected by his own system was endless.

The power of blood darkness within him was constantly gathering within him, and it was rapidly increasing.

This surprised him and was unexpected.

"Truly a masterpiece. Your intentions have been thoroughly implemented, condensing such terrifying blood-dark power. This Dark Sun is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Yu's praise was genuine and without any pressure, because he knew it was an inevitable fact.

There is no need to doubt the persistence of the Earthly Branches.

Chapter 172 Absorbing the Power of Darkness, Blood God State Reappears

Before An Yang arrived, Di Ming stated frankly, "Your Majesty, much of the credit still belongs to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Di Ming's tone was relaxed and undisguised: "Your Majesty ruled the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm for two hundred years. Your governance was effective, and the population increased dramatically. However, after Your Majesty's mandate was fulfilled and you abdicated, the Central Plains fell into chaos again, and naturally, it became even more bloody."

Chen Yu listened and fell silent. There was nothing incomprehensible about what he was saying; it was simply the truth.

"Well, what else?"

Upon hearing this, Di Ming said helplessly, "Under the guidance of the power of blood darkness, it is difficult to cut off, so it is increasing and accumulating, and it is no longer within my control."

This is the greatest helplessness of the Earthly Underworld. Although it is impossible to completely control it, it can still be used to some extent.

But now?

The Dark Sun is so vast and numerous that using it would be extremely inconvenient and laborious.

But the inability to stop made him realize that it was no longer a matter of the more the better, but rather that it had spiraled out of his control, and that was the biggest source of his unease.

To eliminate this unsettling factor, it is natural that someone needs to replace the most powerful person, and the Human Emperor is the most suitable candidate.

We invited him here now to test whether it's true or false.

If you know the truth, then there's nothing to worry about. If it's false, you'll need to work harder to suppress it, or perhaps find other ways to deal with it.

Chen Yu realized the seriousness of the matter; now he understood.

It was truly a case of Jingping both making and breaking up; this is the chaos of the Bitter Realm.

He walked directly to the closest point to An Yang. Di Ming and Sui Wu Lei watched silently, their thoughts unknown to themselves.

As Chen Yu stretched out one hand, he circulated his internal energy, which naturally stirred the Dark Sun power he had picked up. This immediately attracted Dark Sun's restlessness, as if it hadn't expected there to be another core.

When the internal energy connected with the Dark Sun, the entire massive Dark Sun trembled and transformed into a vast surge of blood-dark power that flowed into his body, involuntarily drawing upon the blood energy within him.

As soon as the Blood Law was activated, Chen Yu underwent a dramatic transformation, his illusory form transforming him into the Blood God state.

Most noticeably, his hair turned red instantly, making his full head of red hair look even more eerie.

A vast, oppressive aura dominated the surrounding area.

Even Di Ming felt difficulty breathing, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. What kind of ability was this?

Only Sui Wulei remained unmoved; after all, their relationship was there, so it was automatically ignored and wouldn't affect her.

"Okay, so scary."

This was Di Ming's immediate feeling: it was terrifying, what kind of ability was this? It was unbelievable.

"This is the master's Blood God state; I've only seen it a few times by chance."

It wasn't that Sui Wulei was revealing Chen Yu's secrets, because there was no need to at this moment. She could sense that her master wasn't hiding anything, so she wasn't afraid of anyone finding out.

The Blood God state is extraordinary; it is a terrifying existence akin to that of a god.

In this state, he absorbed the power of darkness and sunlight even faster and more quickly, without any resistance or other assistance.

Blood can transform this power, but divine power is not so easily transformed. According to Chen Yu's feeling, the transformation is at most one hundred to one, which is already quite good.

In addition, An Yang's power was very strong, which allowed him to accelerate the conversion of divine power.

This doesn't affect the overall trend; the only benefit is that it accelerates the conversion of his divine power.

After all, in his current Blood God state, he can naturally accelerate the conversion of his power.

It had previously stopped at 43%, but now it's been fluctuating and has reached 48%.

Moreover, the overall skill level did not increase much despite the speed of transformation, which is not surprising.

To increase the upper limit, one can only acquire internal energy; self-cultivation is unlikely to reach a higher level. This transformation between darkness and light is essentially the same; it doesn't raise the upper limit at all.

But to achieve more power conversion, a much larger amount of energy is needed.

The appearance of An Yang this time will undoubtedly allow him to maintain his Blood God state for longer.

This isn't combat time, but the speed at which he transforms is just that fast, and it's the best possible form.

The full power of the Blood Law was on full display at this moment.

"Excellent, very good, have another one, drink some more."

The surge of blood energy is even more terrifying, an endless terror, which goes without saying; it is truly astonishing.

What a terrifying situation this is, an indescribable future, no one knows.

Di Ming looked at the previously enormous Dark Sun, which still couldn't withstand the Human Emperor's powerful strength. After transforming, it was even more astonishing. As for what the Blood God state was, he wasn't very clear.

After all, the people around me only know this term, but they have no idea what it means.

However unsatisfactory it may be, it is undeniably amazing. If one knew that it truly meant the literal meaning, one would not care about the additional "god" connotation of other powerful figures.

Whether it is true or not, you have to find out for yourself; you can't give any answers on your own.

This is not a disappearance, but a major event, and there is much to be done.

The oppressive aura remained, preventing him from even moving an inch. He couldn't help but admire the emperor even more, truly worthy of being called the emperor.

It seems even simpler to transform the endless power of blood darkness into blood energy and become Chen Yu's divine power.

The more abundant the blood energy and divine power, the faster it was converted, which made him urge even more.

As his Yuan Gong was further enhanced, the absorbed blood darkness power became even stronger, and the darkness seemed to visibly decrease, constantly shrinking.

What terrifying power it was, to be wiped out like that! It's unbelievable.

However, Di Ming had no choice but to believe it. He had originally intended to give it a try, but now he knew he couldn't hold onto An Yang.
