Chapter 2088: Slaying an Emperor (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No one, including Han Fei, expected the tragedy in the White Cloud World.
Even if s.h.i.+ Pohuang wanted to take revenge, he shouldn’t have attacked the main city of a Heavenly Palace. Just like how Han Fei didn’t attack ordinary sea demons after he won, he shouldn’t attack ordinary humans either.
It was taboo for a Sky Opening realm cultivator to attack ordinary people. If strong masters could be so unscrupulous, how could the Heavenly Dao allow it?
Therefore, the moment s.h.i.+ Pohuang took action, everyone knew that he had gone crazy.
How terrifying would the consequences be if a Sky Opening realm emperor went crazy? Neither the Snail Emperor nor Han Xuan dared to say that they could defeat him.
The speed of the Snail Emperor was too slow. Han Xuan had just opened the sky and was not strong enough. It was almost impossible to make him stay.
Nine Palace World.
Han Xuan asked, “Xiaobai, have you really decided?”
Luo Xiaobai said, “We have to solve s.h.i.+ Pohuang. If we can’t find him, we can only lure him out. I think he is hiding either in the Sword G.o.d World in the inner domain or in the undersea human race. We have to arrange people in both places, but if I guess right, s.h.i.+ Pohuang will definitely attack people on the path to the inner domain. s.h.i.+ Pohuang is crazy. Although Kong Shen is not far away, he might not dare to come. Otherwise, no one will take care of the undersea human race. s.h.i.+ Pohuang must have thought of this. Therefore, he will probably stop the people from going to the inner domain.”
Han Xuan said, “You don’t have to take the risk.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Demonic plants have the strongest escaping ability. If Senior Snail Emperor gives me an amulet, I’ll be fine. Let’s see if s.h.i.+ Pohuang will be tricked.”
…
After this matter broke out, the humans in the nearby main cities of the Parting Grief World, the Flying Feather World, the Ashless World, and the Beast King World were all in an uproar. It was said that tens of millions of humans had been slaughtered in the White Cloud World. This number really frightened the ordinary people.
The power of an emperor was too terrifying. If it affected where they were one day, who could resist it?
Even in a small place like the Bright Moon Village, Han Fei’s residence was almost trampled through.
“Leader, won’t the higher-ups send someone down? The emperor can destroy our little village with a yawn!”
“Leader, why don’t you ask the higher-ups if we can go to the city to avoid the risk?”
Someone cursed, “Are you stupid? If the emperor wants to take revenge, he will definitely attack the main city first! Our small village will only be affected.”
“Leader, it doesn’t matter if I die, but my son can’t! Look, can you send my son to the nearby Nine Palace World?”
“That’s right, Leader, we know you’re in a difficult position, but you’re the only person in our Bright Moon Village who can communicate with the higher-ups. You can also have a say in the town. It shouldn’t be difficult to send some people to the safer Heavenly Palaces, right?”
Han Fei was surrounded by people. It could be seen that s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s words of revenge shocked everyone.
In fact, Han Fei was in a worse mood than all of them. In order to wait for an opportunity, he didn’t appear for a long time, which led to this tragedy. If he had appeared early and joined forces with Kong Shen and the others to kill s.h.i.+ Pohuang, today’s tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
Han Fei shouted, “Everyone, go home and go to sea more often. In the eyes of the Sky Openers, you are like fish and shrimp in the sea, not worth mentioning. He might attack the main cities, but he will never attack the villages. It will make him a joke if he attacks villages!”
Someone shouted, “What if we’re affected by the aftershock? If the main city is destroyed, how can we survive?”
Someone said in horror, “I heard that once an emperor takes action, all living beings within hundreds of thousands of kilometers will be wiped out. If anything happens to the main city, we won’t be able to escape!”
“Shut up, all of you.”
Han Fei’s voice rumbled and he was furious. “Look at yourselves! We humans have Emperor Xuan, the help of the Snail Emperor, and dozens of kings. Are they afraid? Are they horrified? If everyone is like you, fleeing in panic, how can the human race rise? Just wait. I’ve already… Uh, I’ll… go to the town to ask.”
Han Fei almost blurted out that he was going to kill s.h.i.+ Pohuang, but fortunately, he didn’t spill the beans.
From afar, Jiuyin Ling watched this scene and said indifferently, “A projection? Even if the Emperor comes, aren’t you willing to join forces with others? Why are you also taking trials in the mortal world? What happened to you?”
…
Six hours later.
At least 60 million kilometers away from the human settlement.
s.h.i.+ Pohuang was hiding on an undersea mountain. Today, he was just probing to see how many strong masters the human race had.
And he deliberately attacked the Flying Feather World on the periphery, firstly to test Han Xuan’s current strength, and secondly to see the current powerhouses of the human race clearly.
“Humph! The snail is too slow and not worth mentioning. As long as I was not restrained by him, Han Xuan couldn’t stop me. At this time, if they want to catch me, they either go to Kong Shen or the Sword G.o.d or w.a.n.g Yijian in the inner domain.”
s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s eyes turned cold, but he hesitated. He was thinking about where to attack next. The best place to attack was the Sea of Mist. In this way, if he really went so far down, one of the Snail Emperor and Han Xuan would have to stay. If it was Han Xuan, he might be able to take him down in one fell swoop. If it was the Snail Emperor, he would be able to come back as soon as possible, and then seriously injure Han Xuan, kill a dozen kings, and destroy the Heavenly Palaces.
s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s plan was perfect, but suddenly, he looked behind him and saw a golden light flas.h.i.+ng over. The golden light had flashed three times in a row and a person landed ten thousand kilometers away from him.
When s.h.i.+ Pohuang took a closer look, his face changed drastically and he said in disbelief, “Han Fei? How can you come out of the Endless Void?”
Han Fei said indifferently, “Anything is possible. I thought you would take revenge, but I didn’t expect you to attack ordinary people. As a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse, I’m here to take your life and avenge the hundreds of thousands of victims.”
s.h.i.+ Pohuang sneered and suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Han Fei, you came alone?”
Han Fei said casually, “I can kill you alone.”
s.h.i.+ Pohuang snorted. “Logically speaking, if you had come out of the Endless Void, you should have thought of a way to kill me immediately. But you didn’t… And in the human world, there have always been rumors that you are trapped in the Endless Void. Have you never returned to the human race?… I understand. Are you waiting for a chance to open the sky? Do you want to overcome the last hurdle? However, I slaughtered the human world today. So you can’t sit still anymore?”
s.h.i.+ Pohuang saw through Han Fei’s current state at a glance. It was very difficult to become an emperor. Otherwise, how could there only be a few Sky Openers in the Raging Sea?
Han Fei had grown too fast. It only took him more than a hundred years to reach the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm from the Venerable realm. Now he wanted to comprehend the Dao and find the last opportunity he needed to open the sky. But how could it be so simple?
Therefore, s.h.i.+ Pohuang was no longer nervous. He said, “You didn’t attack me when I was weak, but appeared at this moment. Do you really think you can kill an emperor alone?”
Han Fei couldn’t help but think of what Fan Busi once told him. “No matter who your enemy is, you should take your opponent seriously.”
Swish ~
Han Fei’s strength was instantly unleashed to the extreme. The void under s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s body opened, and Han Fei extended his hand and turned it. A blue halo appeared, and the Great Dao of Time twisted time, directly obliterating s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s Great Dao of s.p.a.ce.
In an instant, Han Fei held the Time Blade and slashed out.
s.h.i.+ Pohuang didn’t dare to be careless. Although Han Fei was still in the Sea Establishment Realm, he was called the Human King and his strength couldn’t be underestimated.
“Humph, since the void can’t do anything to you, I’ll exile you again.”
A black hole appeared, and a furious sea tide floated up.
With a flip of his hand, Han Fei slashed All Great Daos in One Sword to the edge of the Endless Void. With a bang, it exploded into countless sword beams, creating a void storm that was swallowed in an instant.
Han Fei frowned slightly and twisted time again, only to find that the black hole was covering outward and swallowing time.
“Huh?”
Han Fei retreated quickly. In the Endless Void, the meaning of time and s.p.a.ce was not clear. The two seemed to exist but didn’t. Therefore, he could swallow the power of time.
At that moment, Han Fei activated his maximum speed and punched out countless times. The strength of each punch had surpa.s.sed two million waves.
“Han Fei, you can’t kill me. How can you, a Sea Establisher, understand the power of a Sky Opener?”
s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s Great Dao was time, so he could walk at the edge of the Endless Void freely, but Han Fei was different. Therefore, around s.h.i.+ Pohuang, countless void spirals condensed, blocking Han Fei’s overwhelming fist marks.
Han Fei didn’t mind. Two scimitars burst out of his arms, and a huge Yin-Yang Wheel appeared. The Blade of Hope could ignore the void seal.
The Yin-Yang Great Dao was the law of nature. In the blink of an eye, it deprived the Endless Void of its ability to expand.
Han Fei sneered. “Do you really think you can open the Endless Void for long?”
The two of them fought again, fighting for millions of kilometers until the s.p.a.ce broke and the sea collapsed.
s.h.i.+ Pohuang shouted, “Han Fei, how many creatures have died in the sea because of the battle between you and me? Is it more or less than the death of your human race? Heh, everyone is an ant. My mind is resolute now. Do you think I will feel burdened by negative karma for the death of those few people? Next time I go, I will definitely slaughter a few more big cities of your human race.”
“Fuse.”
Han Fei activated the Twin Divine Technique and took out his fis.h.i.+ng pole, hooking out the historical shadow of the Ultimate Blade from time. In an instant, it drilled through s.h.i.+ Pohuang’s head. “Explode!”
