Chapter 1563: Chapter 1510: Emperor’s Recognition, Leaving the Emperor’s Mausoleum!
The towering voice resounded as though piercing through ti and space, making Xiao Chen’s ears buzz.
Yet, up until this mont, Xiao Chen still didn’t understand the aning behind the title “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors”!
What exactly is the “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors”?!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, the thunderous sound of heaven and earth reverberated. A massive golden coffin began to rumble, radiating divine light that flashed blindingly bright. The light engulfed Xiao Chen’s vision in a sea of golden splendor. Accompanied by the booming sounds, the lid of the golden coffin slowly opened.
In an instant, as his eyes adapted to the glaring brilliance, Xiao Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted. From within the coffin, a figure stepped forth!
The Human Emperor of the Gao Tang Clan!
The once-mummified body of the Human Emperor now stepped out from the coffin. Though devoid of any aura, he appeared as a refined middle-aged warrior dressed in a gray hemp robe. Yet his eyes reflected the sun and moon, containing the creation of heaven and earth—as though the entire cosmos was under his dominion.
“This…”
Xiao Chen was montarily rendered speechless, his thoughts overwheld. This reality far exceeded his imagination—the ancient Human Emperor of the Gao Tang Clan had truly resurrected. A ruler long deceased for tens of epochs had co back to life, a shock difficult to fathom!
But just as suddenly, this majestic figure closed his eyes once more. Instantly, all the brilliance of heaven and earth dimd, rendered obscure and lifeless.
Xiao Chen’s mind quivered sharply, for he’d noticed that the Human Emperor in front of him had completely lost any trace of vitality!
“It seems my bloodline has ended, and an outsider has arrived to awaken ,” the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor said, his eyes still closed and no longer emanating any life force.
“Indeed, the Gao Tang Clan’s lineage ceased to exist at the start of this epoch. I am the Human Saint Child of this generation in the Eastern Wasteland, invited to awaken the ancestral emperor,” Xiao Chen answered.
Facing such a venerable figure, Xiao Chen dared not show the slightest disrespect. It wasn’t rely because the man before him was an emperor but also due to the earlier ntion of “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors.”
The title “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors,” as spoken by the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor, encompassed the first ancient Wild Emperor of the Human Clan, the foundational Five Emperors, as well as the renowned War Heaven Emperor and Da Yu Emperor during the Human Clan’s resurgence. These were emperors who had appeared amidst tribulations and led the Human Clan out of peril!
It was these figures who guided the Human Clan to rise from despair and stand triumphantly above the All Heavens, laughing amidst the Hundred Clans!
Throughout the long lineage of the Human Clan, nurous Human Emperors had erged. Yet most were emperors who maintained the status quo, ensuring the survival and continuation of the Human Clan. Only this small handful of “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors” had led the clan away from fire and water, out of darkness!
In such light, the title “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors” seed akin to a savior of emperors!
Not only guarding the foundation of the Human Clan but also propelling its flourishing growth!
“You, Human Saint Child, walk the divine road trodden by those others—how intriguing,” the voice quickly arose again, carrying a faint ripple of peculiarity.
“However, my Human Clan is vast, mighty, and inclusive. As long as one bears the Human Bloodline, even cultivating Saint Arts, Sorcery, or Immortal Arts amounts to nothing significant!”
Humming!
At that mont, a golden light shimred around the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor’s body, materializing a radiant glow between him and Xiao Chen. The golden radiance spun, evolving ceaselessly before finally delineating into a Divine Rune.
“Judging by the ti, the end of the epoch should now be upon us. I sense too many obscure presences erging from the heaven and earth—it seems those petty creatures among the Hundred Clans refuse to perish quietly,” the emperor remarked.
Xiao Chen displayed no trace of surprise at these words. For soone able to awaken across such vast swaths of ti, perceiving the workings of the All Heavens was hardly remarkable. The Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor, claiming to be “Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors,” undoubtedly occupied an unimaginably formidable realm, perhaps even surpassing comprehension.
“My Human Clan descendant,” he addressed abruptly.
Xiao Chen froze as he realized his entire body had been restricted forcefully. Even his consciousness had been severed from his form, though the emperor’s overwhelming power encompassed him. He struggled frantically, yet the constraints remained unbreakable.
“All Heavenly Divine Power!”
In an instant, Xiao Chen exerted himself to reclaim control over his body, releasing dazzling divine light in an eruption to free himself from the bindings.
But the brilliance of the All Heavenly Divine Light faded within the span of a single breath. He realized with astonishnt that his surroundings were devoid of the myriad paths of the heavens—the principles supporting heaven and earth had disappeared entirely.
Without the divine force of Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Paths, no vast great power could be summoned. It was evident the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor had sealed off all paths.
“Break!”
At that mont, Xiao Chen’s fist clenched tightly and drove forward, his fist enveloped in wisps of divine light—the power of his Immortal Divine Body.
Without pause, his punches attempted to break free of the constraints before him. Breath after breath, Xiao Chen unleashed hundreds of punches, but the space proved unwaveringly solid. Even with his pseudo-emperor strength, he could barely cause a ripple in the spatial confines.
Hundreds of punches later, his Immortal Divine Body radiated divine light like dozens of luminous lamps illuminating his entire form. The energy gathered in his fists as imnse divine power surged forth.
Crack!
Finally, the sound of sothing shattering pierced the air. Xiao Chen felt his consciousness reconnect with his physical body.
“In the infancy of my Human Clan, we were exceedingly weak. Any race or beast in the Desolate Wilds considered us prey—to toy with, to hunt, to eat, and even to enslave. Yet my Human Clan is a species adept at learning.”
“From the bodies of the great evils, from fragnted divine thods, we deduced our own cultivation practices, continuously evolving and improving, passing them down generation after generation. Eventually, we safeguarded our legacy, and later, we even drove out the great enemies of the Desolate Wilds, rising from obscurity to dominate the All Heavens.”
“Thus, saying martial arts originated from divine ways is not false. What path one follows is irrelevant—what matters is one’s true heart. Your body carries the potent destiny of my Human Clan. This signifies your journey has been paved by the blood and bones of countless foreign clans, defending the descendants of my Human Bloodline. Yet, your divine road still lacks refinent. To awaken , you must at least achieve the True God Realm and condense your own divine spark.”
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Chen paused, instantly understanding that the abrupt constraints earlier were rely tests of his abilities by the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor.
“I wonder how this junior might awaken the emperor!”
Finally, Xiao Chen bowed deeply, attempting to ask aloud.
Imdiately, the golden talisman radiating divine light between the two fired toward Xiao Chen, rging seamlessly into his body!
“This is my Emperor’s Seal, I bestow it upon you. Not because your strength proves worthy but because of the Human Purple Qi accumulated within you. Even if one’s power dominates the universe, if not fighting for the survival of my Human Clan, it amounts to emptiness. No matter how insignificant one’s strength may be—if it is for my Human Clan, it still remains the Loyal Souls of humanity!”
Xiao Chen felt the Divine Rune settle within his body, then fade into stillness. Even the glowing divine light dimd significantly.
“As for how to fully awaken , once you’ve condensed your divine spark, return, and it will beco clear. But rember, ti is running out. If the relics of the Desolate Wilds reclaim their power, the strength of today’s Human Realm Emperors would be utterly insufficient to suppress them!”
At this, Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor’s voice suddenly grew faint before pausing for a long while. Eventually, his voice resud again.
“When that ti cos, forces surpassing emperor-level might erge. Without my return, there will be no way to subdue them!”
What!
Power surpassing emperor-level!
Xiao Chen inhaled sharply, grappling with an unfathomable reality—what kind of realm could this possibly be?
“Do not be alard. My Human Clan has thrived eternally. What crisis have we failed to endure? Even the Saint Clan’s cunning assault on the Human Realm saw the ergence of the War Heaven Emperor. Had it not been for those pests lurking in secrecy, how could the War Heaven Emperor—already ranked as ‘Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors’—have fallen!”
Recalling distant mories stirred a tempest of killing intent throughout the space.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!!”
The overwhelming intent to kill burst forth from the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor, transforming the space into a boundless ocean of blood. Xiao Chen found himself utterly subrged, powerless to resist!
Swoosh!
It was only after an unknown length of ti that the blood-red tide finally receded. Though the killing intent had not targeted him directly, Xiao Chen was already near collapse, barely able to remain standing.
“Senior, this junior wishes to know whether the title ‘Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors’ exceeds the emperor-level realm.”
Through gritted teeth, Xiao Chen still voiced the question gnawing at his heart.
“It does—and it does not.”
The towering voice echoed, leaving Xiao Chen montarily disoriented. It was after a lengthy pause that the voice of the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor rose again.
“During the Desolate Wilds era, there were God Kings surpassing the True God Realm. The emperor-level naturally contains realms above.”
“The title ‘Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors’ is earned because ascending to this level requires acknowledgnt from all emperors.”
These remarks left Xiao Chen even more astonished. How many Human Clan emperors could there be, especially when each epoch fixed the number of emperors that could ascend?
“Do you think my Human Clan emperors have truly disappeared upon their fall or passing? The divine majesty of gods leaves remnants across the ages—why should my Human Clan emperors differ!”
“Though emperors may fall, their wills remain unbroken, circling the Human World to guard humanity even in death.”
It seed as though the Gao Tang Clan Human Emperor felt he’d divulged enough. He retreated back into the enormous golden coffin as the golden lid gradually closed.
“Rember, awaken swiftly!”
Suddenly, grand celestial echoes reached Xiao Chen’s ears.
As Xiao Chen stepped onto the golden passage to leave the Emperor’s Mausoleum, the dormant voice arose again.
“Descendant of the Human Clan, though you walk the divine road, our bloodline embraces all creation and flows with rivers vast. Certain matters demand action; others demand restraint!”
“This junior will rember!” Xiao Chen bowed deeply, retreating slowly before turning to leave.
As he entered the golden passage, a final sigh reached his ears.
“That Emperor’s Seal is my acknowledgnt of you. At epoch’s end, the Human Clan must produce another ‘Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors’—lead humanity past calamity. The path lies at your feet; go now!”
