Chapter 1661 - I, Sun Wukong, Am Here! (2/2)

…

In the cave above the vault of heaven…

After the black hole was a vast expanse of a starry sky.

Bu Fang and Tongtian stood in this starry sky. In front of them was a huge circular teleportation array. It was constantly rotating, but there were all kinds of arrays hovering over it.

The main one was an Eight Trigram Array, which prevented the teleportation array from functioning.

Both of them could sense the terrible aura creeping behind that array. However, their focus now was not on the array. They looked up into the distance.

There, Suiren sat cross-legged with his head bowed. He had a wooden branch on his shoulder, and at each end of the branch hung a Soul Overlord’s head. Their true forms were sealed in the heads, struggling but unable to break free.

Blood, red and tinged with gold, dripped from the corners of Suiren’s mouth. The sound of his wild laughter filled the starry sky.

“It’s the human emperor!”

When Tongtian saw Suiren, he laughed with relief. And when he saw the two heads on the wooden branch, he even applauded.

“Suiren is indeed the human emperor! He beheaded two Soul Overlords!”

He was excited. He thought the situation would be bad, but now it seemed that the three human emperors were still guarding the world of the human race.

Bu Fang’s face was unsightly, though. He had comprehended the Law of Life. Although he could not use it here, it allowed him to clearly sense that the fire of life in Suiren had died off…

There was no more life energy left in the human emperor. To seal these two Soul Overlords, he had squeezed out the last drop of energy in his already exhausted body.

The laughter that lingered in the world was what he left behind when he was alive. It sounded domineering, carefree, and was even filled with reluctance and worry…

Tongtian’s laughter stopped, and his hands began to shake. Looking at Suiren with his drooping head, his eyes suddenly turned red.

“Impossible… If the human emperor had fallen, heaven and earth should have mourned at the same time. But we did not see that…”

He shook his head and shot forward to Suiren’s side. However, he had only just gotten close when a monstrous flame shot up into the sky. The scorching heat of the flame caused his expression to change dramatically.

“This is the Array of Primordial Fire…”

It was an array constructed with the primordial fire of mankind, which Suiren had kindled with the blood of his heart.

Tongtian’s face was pale, and his heart was filled with grief.

As he approached again, Suiren’s head jerked up, his eyes wide open. His aura towered into the sky as if he was a fierce god gazing at heaven and earth.

A terrible murderous aura swept over the Sect Leader.

Bu Fang was silent, while Tongtian took several steps back in the starry sky.

As fierce as Suiren looked, that was all he had left. It was his fierceness to Soul Demons.

As the primordial fire burned, the two Soul Overlord’s heads were soon set ablaze. Their true forms, trapped in the heads, howled bitterly, but they could not escape the fate of being burned.

Finally, with a rumble, the two heads were burned to nothingness.

Suiren continued to stare in anger amid the blazing fire. When the flames burned out, the human emperor’s body had turned into ashes and drifted away. Suiren, the almighty human emperor, had fallen while protecting the Ancestral Planet of mankind.

Tongtian flew into a rage. As a plume of purple smoke erupted from the top of his head, he violently swung the green sword in his hand, shattering countless stars.

Bu Fang sighed and looked reverently at the scattering ashes. Such a Saint of the Great Path was of immense merit and virtue, worthy of his respect.

Suddenly, he froze for a moment. Suiren was gone, but what about the other two human emperors? Had they fallen, too? If that was the case, it would be mournful news for mankind!

Tongtian came to himself at last. His eyes were red, and his body emitted oppressive sword energy that tore the void around him.

“Soul Demons… I, Tongtian, will destroy you or die in the attempt!”

The Sect Leader had an abhorrence of sin. With his temper, he could not just swallow the grief and do nothing.

“Where are the other two human emperors?”

The three human emperors were the Saints of merit and virtue who led the human race to prosperity.

Bu Fang and Tongtian looked at each other, then scanned the surroundings at the same time.

Suddenly, the teleportation array suppressed by the Eight Trigram Array began to slowly rotate. Wisps of dark sinful energy seeped out of it and wrapped around the Eight Trigram Array like tentacles.

Bu Fang focused his eyes and looked at the center of the Eight Trigram Array.

A figure with its head bowed sat cross-legged in the center of the array. Not far from it was another figure surrounded by many top divine herbs, each emanating powerful energy.

“It’s the other two human emperors, Fuxi and Shennong!”

Tongtian’s face lit up when he saw them. He could sense their life energy—they were still alive. Stepping on his flying sword, he sped forward and went up to them.

His heart was filled with grief. He knew that Suiren had died with the Soul Overlords to protect Fuxi and Shennong from being disturbed.

Bu Fang saw Fuxi and Shennong, and his face looked respectful. Suddenly, his brows furrowed and his pupils constricted. He saw a black streak of sinful energy flash across the faces of the two human emperors.

“Tongtian, be careful!”
