Chapter 394 - Won’t Live Past Today (1/2)

“So what if he became a Great Emperor; my heavenly law army will definitely rip you to shreds!” Spirit Sovereign Yan said as he gnashed his teeth.

No wonder there was not a complete soul within Zhou Xuanji’s corpse three years ago.

He had been completely fooled!

The more Spirit Sovereign Yan thought about it, the angrier he became.

The threat of the Heavenly Palace was descending, and Zhou Xuanji that cockroach had become a Great Emperor, making him feel incredibly annoyed.

He looked up at the clouds roiling in the sky and muttered, “Looks like I have to create you.”

He raised his right hand and continued to create Heavenly Law Puppets.

At the bottom of the mountain, Wanghou’s body suddenly trembled. The other Heavenly Law Puppets became like blocks of wood, not moving at all, making him seem quite eye-catching.

Spirit Sovereign Yan was filled with fury and he wanted to create even more powerful Heavenly Law Puppets, and he did not notice the abnormalities in Wanghou.

After three years his absolute control of the Heavenly Law Puppets had blinded his heart.

Elsewhere at Juedi Cliff, Baihao Yixin stood up and paced about, continuously cursing out.

All kinds of crude words came out of his mouth, and they could be summarised in one word.

Fudge!

He was already surprised that Zhou Xuanji had not died, and he had never thought that that fellow would become a Great Emperor.

Becoming a Great Emperor was incredibly difficult, and this was even more so given that the current human race’s bloodline was not pure. It was essentially impossible for someone to become a Great Emperor.

What gives?

He couldn’t accept this!

He mysteriously felt that Zhou Xuanji was the Child of Fate. He was not even 80 years old, and he had already become a Great Emperor?

The more he thought, the angrier he became, and he began to feel envious.

In the end, all of his countless emotions could only turn into a single sigh.

‘Perhaps he can really defeat Spirit Sovereign Yan?’ Baihao Yixin thought. He did not want to continue to shamefully be imprisoned by Spirit Sovereign Yan.

…

Shangguan Jiusu woke up; he had dreamed of something fantastic.

He dreamed that he had met the Sword Emperor he worshipped, and the Sword Emperor had taken him as a disciple and taught him sword techniques. He could see the glory of the Sword Emperor every day, making him feel blessed.

He reluctantly opened his eyes and his vision was filled by the blue sky and not the familiar shed he was used to.

He suddenly remembered his memories from before he had fainted, and he quickly sat up and jumped to his feet.

“Where am I?” He hazily looked around and found that he was in a forest.

Not too far away, there were the corpses of six demon wolves.

He looked at the command medallion in his hand, on which was carved the character for ‘Emperor.’ There was also a slip of paper that contained a single sentence.

“You can enter Emperor Sword Court using this medallion.”

Shangguan Jiusu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood there in shock.

After a while, he muttered, “Could he be…”

His eyes widened and his breathing became ragged, as if he was incredibly excited.

…

Within the Hunyuan Empire’s Royal City, Yang Di stood at the top of the palace and looked out, remaining silent for a long time.

Zhou Xuanji becoming a Great Emperor had given his heart a big blow.

He fell into bewilderment that he had never felt before.

He had always believed that he was the strongest in the world. Before Zhou Xuanji had died, that battle of his had caused him to doubt himself; fortunately, Zhou Xuanji had died.

However, he did not expect Zhou Xuanji to return in just three short years in a blaze of glory.

He deeply breathed in and looked at Juedi Cliff, his gaze becoming resolute.

Despite once being first in the world, he had never fought with Spirit Sovereign Yan before, even after the Hunyuan Empire had complained to him.

This time, he decided to cut off any paths of retreat for himself.

“I’ll either die or become a Great Emperor,” Yang Di muttered as he turned into a ray of golden light and leapt up, disappearing over the horizon.

…

As the Northern Wilderness was reveling in shock towards Zhou Xuanji becoming a Great Emperor, some unwelcome guests arrived from overseas.
