Chapter 1428: Empyrean

Peng Wansheng’s face had turned purple after being slapped by Long Chen. That wasn’t a bruise, it was the result of fury. Long Chen’s slap might be powerful, but it didn’t contain any killing intent. It didn’t invoke a sense of danger. This was Peng Wansheng’s first time encountering such an opponent.

“People who don’t fight seriously are all depraved tras.h.!.+” cursed Peng Wansheng. He felt like he was about to go insane. After being slapped twice in the face, even if he did kill Long Chen, this would be a stain for the rest of his life.

He was a peerless expert, and he quickly realized the trick behind Long Chen’s move. But even though he knew the trick, he couldn’t do anything about it.

When experts fought, they would fight with the intent to kill. Each attack was launched with killing intent.

However, Long Chen’s slap was purely to humiliate his opponents. It couldn’t be sensed, but the taste of being slapped was horrendous.

It was even more painful than having an arm or leg cut off. Compared to the pain of the body, this mental humiliation was far more painful.

Despite being on the verge of exploding, Peng Wansheng had to force himself to stay calm. He now had a thought that he couldn’t kill Long Chen. He needed to capture him alive and make him live a life worse than death.

Peng Wansheng glared at Long Chen, his chest heaving as he did his best to suppress his rage.

“Despicable human, can you not fight like a real warrior?!” roared Peng Wansheng.

If Long Chen continued dodging, Peng Wansheng would be unable to do anything to him. Long Chen’s speed was also extremely great. But more importantly, his aura was very strange. Peng Wansheng found himself unable to quickly lock him down.

“Aren’t you the one cursing your ancestors? Don’t you think that’s improper?” sneered Long Chen. The ancient races continuously mocked the human race. But without the human race, where would the half-breeds known as the ancient races have come from?

“I drew you over here because I don’t want to be disturbed by others. It’s not because I’m afraid of you.”

“Then you can just die!” roared Peng Wansheng. His wings flapped once again, and with the golden runes revolving around them, he appeared in front of Long Chen in an instant, sending a punch at him.

“You’re not capable of killing me.” Long Chen smirked. He also let out a punch, his 108,000 stars revolving.

BOOM! This was a pure collision of physical strength. Both sides were blown back several miles.

“I heard your physical body was powerful and unrivaled amongst the human race. Hmph, now that I’m experiencing it, I’m disappointed! It’s a far cry from the power of the ancient races!” sneered Peng Wansheng.

“That’s different. There’s no way to compare to half-breeds like you!” mocked Long Chen.

“Die!”

Peng Wansheng once more attacked, and a huge ball of light appeared behind him. The ball of light was a ma.s.s of primal chaos. It was impossible to see anything within.

When that ball appeared, Long Chen felt some kind of energy suddenly suppress him, making him feel weak.

“A manifestation?”

Long Chen was shocked. Just what was that indistinct ball? Why did he suddenly feel weaker when it appeared?

BOOM!

This time, he was sent flying by Peng Wansheng’s punch, and he coughed up blood.

It felt like his punch contained some kind of hidden power. This was a kind of power that Long Chen couldn’t comprehend, and it was in the process of breaking his body down at this very moment.

“Hahaha, didn’t I say that you are but a piece of trash in front of me? Your power is like that of an ant’s!” laughed Peng Wansheng.

The ma.s.s of primal chaos behind him revolved. It was filled with thick mist. It felt like there was something there, but it was completely concealed by the mist.

“Are you surprised? Did you think you were unrivaled just because you defeated a rank nine Celestial? Let me tell you, rank nine Celestials are not the peak geniuses of this world. There is another kind of existence born from the Heavenly Daos and destined for greatness, an embodiment of the heavens that stands at the peak of the martial path! They are above all other geniuses.

“I heard that you started from a poor background, correct? I suppose you’ve heard of Favored. They are existences even inferior to Celestials. Favored are the ants who disseminate the laws of the heavens. They are the most foundational existence in the cultivation world. Outnumbering Celestials over a million to one, they are born to spread the word of the heavens. But while they are the foundation, they are not the main characters.

“Above Favored are Celestials, emissaries of the Heavenly Daos. They are the servants of the Heavenly Daos. Although the Heavenly Daos give them some benefits, they are still just servants. Celestials are ranked one to nine, and even the highest, rank nine Celestials, are at most higher level servants.

“To put it in an uglier way, servants are just slaves. They have to listen to their master for everything. This world’s real main characters are us - Empyreans!”
