Chapter 5077 Huang Wudao
Long Chen looked over and saw a violet-haired man holding Feng You’s wrist. Feng You was enraged and tried to pull her hand free, but she couldn’t, so she shouted furiously at the man.
The violet-haired man was tall and thin, with striking violet hair that made him memorable. However, the most striking aspect of him was his unusually elongated face and his bigger facial features. To put it simply, he was ugly.
Lightning runes flashed in his eyes, and his hand crackled with lightning ripples. Grabbing Feng You, he seemed pleasantly surprised.
“I didn’t expect to encounter such a beauty here. Although your bloodline isn’t pure, I like your appearance. Submit to me, and I will bestow upon you endless glory.”
“The Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race!”
Startled cries rang out when people saw him, recognizing his origins. Moreover, dozens of other experts from the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race surrounded him, all with violet hair and swirling lightning runes. They were easy to recognize.
Many people had heard of this legendary race, but almost none had ever seen them. Violet hair, long faces, thin and tall, lightning eyes—all distinctive markers of their appearance after taking human form.
“Release me!” roared Feng You, pulling with all her power, but she was unable to escape. It felt like some mysterious force had sealed all her power, leaving her unable to retaliate or even summon her manifestation. She had never encountered such a terrifying opponent before.
“Little miss, don’t be shameless. This is the prince of our Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race, Prince Huang Wudao. Our race leader is a great Human Emperor, and Prince Huang Wudao’s power alone is enough to look down on the rest of the world,” sneered a Heavenly Chosen of the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race.
“Human Emperor?”
Countless gasps rang out. There really was an existence on the level of a Human Emperor in this world? This revelation shocked so many experts from outside the Sovereign Emperor Heaven.
A human Emperor referred to a Heaven Saint who had condensed nine heaven vein dragon qis and merged them into one. They harnessed power beyond the Heavenly Daos and were supported by their entire race’s karmic luck to break through to the Human Emperor realm.
The six realms of Eternity were Eternal, Saint, Sage King, Mortal Saint, Earth Saint, and Heaven Saint. Beyond the realm of Saints was the Emperor realm, and a Human Emperor was an existence countless people could only dream of.
Although a three-vein or four-vein Heaven Saint could shatter mountains and overturn seas, they were still Saints. Without merging all nine heaven veins, they would be stuck in the Saint realm forever.
Once they merged the nine heaven veins, they could enter the Emperor realm and look down on those below them like ants, including nine-vein Heaven Saints.
As for why they were called Human Emperors, it was because whether an expert was from the demon, beast, elf, monster, devil, spirit, or other races, they needed to take human form to reach the Emperor realm. After advancing, they had to stay in this human form for a long time. Thus, it was called the Human Emperor realm.
No matter how these races looked down on or ravaged the human race, they could do nothing about this iron law. If they wanted to reach the Emperor realm, they had to take this step.
Many powerful races knew of this, which was why they forced their disciples to take human form when cultivating and fighting. Even if their odds of reaching this realm were almost impossible, it was still best to prepare. After all, what if they really reached that level?
However, even the greatest of heavenly geniuses had never dreamed of becoming Human Emperors. That goal was far too distant to even consider.
Thus, the onlookers were shocked to hear that the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race had a Human Emperor. Even though they didn’t see one in person, just hearing of one was astonis.h.i.+ng enough.
“Are you not going to help?” asked Bai Yingxue. “If it’s not convenient for you to do so, I can do it.”
Although Bai Yingxue knew she wasn’t a match for Huang Wudao, she didn’t believe they would dare to cause trouble beneath the divine statues of the Brahma Pill Valley. Furthermore, the white dragon race had their own reputation. If she were to step forward, that person should know to retreat.
However, Long Chen rejected her offer. “No, the only one who can save her is herself.”
At this moment, the other women of the mixed beast race rushed over. At first, they were angry, as Feng You still belonged to the mixed beast race. Even though they didn’t like Feng You, they had to step forward as this was a slap in the mixed beast race’s face. However, when they sensed the other side’s terrifying aura, they instantly fell silent.
Upon learning that they belonged to the legendary Divine Phoenix race and that he was the son of a Human Emperor, those women immediately behaved well.
“Feng You, what are you doing? Shouldn’t you quickly prostrate yourself to express your grat.i.tude? For a prince to take a liking to you is the fortune of eight lifetimes!” shouted the cat woman of the mixed beast race.
The other women looked at Huang Wudao fawningly, as if they wanted to take Feng You’s place.
Feng You was shocked and enraged. Being bullied by the mixed beast race’s people was one thing, but to be bullied by outsiders as well ignited her killing intent.
Feng You suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on that man’s wrist. With no other power in her body, all she could do was bite.
“Ah, you s.l.u.t!” Huang Wudao cried out in pain as blood oozed from his wrist. He instantly let go and furiously kicked at her.
Just as Feng You was freed from Huang Wudao’s hold, a spear materialized in her hand, accompanied by a phoenix cry. Ignoring the kick, Feng You condensed all her power into her spear and thrust it at his head.
Feng You was determined to die with this attack. She knew her power was a far cry from her opponent’s. If she was going to kill him, she had only one chance. However, she knew that she would also die after this attack.
At this moment, all her anger and resentment erupted. Ever since parting ways with Long Chen, she had bitterly endured, conceded, and retreated. But now, there was nowhere left to retreat.
She suddenly recalled Long Chen’s words: on the path of cultivation, there was no retreat. Taking one step back would lead to another, until there was nowhere left to go.
Regrettably, she understood his words too late. All she focused on now was killing the man in front of her. She would use her own life to memorialize her unyielding spirit.
“Die!” Huang Wudao shouted, ignoring Feng You’s spear.
BOOM!
Feng You felt despair as her spear stopped a few inches from Huang Wudao’s head. Lightning s.h.i.+elds materialized before her, blocking her strike and preventing her from pus.h.i.+ng her spear further.
Knowing her fate was sealed, Feng You smiled bitterly and slowly closed her eyes. As darkness enveloped her, Long Chen’s face appeared in her mind. She sighed, Goodbye.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion erupted, and Feng You felt a powerful hand drag her to the side. A foot struck Huang Wudao’s calf with tremendous force, and the resulting qi waves surged outward. Thunder boomed as Long Chen’s figure appeared in front of her.
