Chapter 5165 Eight Color Divine Ring
Time seemed to freeze as Han Qianye’s hand broke through s.p.a.ce, rendering everyone immobile. This was the Emperor might. In front of such power, normal experts felt like ants kneeling on the ground; even looking up was a kind of blasphemy. In fact, they couldn’t even muster the courage to look at him.
Mo Nian instantly froze as Han Qianye attacked. He could only watch as Han Qianye’s hand reached toward him, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear. With great effort, he managed to raise a hand and lift his middle finger as a final act of defiance.
BOOM!
Han Qianye’s hand slammed down, crus.h.i.+ng the void into pieces. Fragments of s.p.a.cetime flew through the air and tore heaven and earth apart.
Yet, just as the hand was about to make contact with Mo Nian, another hand intervened, dragging him away and preventing the fatal blow.
The other hand belonged to Long Chen, and when everyone looked at him, they let out startled cries.
At some point, an eight-color divine ring had materialized behind Long Chen, and a powerful pressure erupted out of him, allowing him to compete even against the might of a Human Emperor. This display left everyone in stunned disbelief.
“There’s an extra color!” exclaimed Mo Nian, staring at Long Chen’s divine ring in shock.
Long Chen’s divine ring, which originally had seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, and violet—now had an additional black color outside the violet.
When this violet ring appeared, it emitted a vast divine pressure that shook the world. Ripples of power continuously charged out of Long Chen’s body.
The eight-color divine ring slowly spun, but the outermost black ring remained static, like a frozen world that couldn’t be moved. As the seven colors began to merge into the black divine ring, the s.p.a.ce outside it started to twist. Despite the overwhelming divine might of the Human Emperor radiating across the land, it was unable to suppress Long Chen’s eight-color divine ring.
The eight-color divine ring forcibly created its own s.p.a.ce within a Human Emperor’s domain; this s.p.a.ce became Long Chen’s world. From that s.p.a.ce, a hand emerged like it had torn through the heavens. Soon, a figure stepped out—it was the Human Emperor Han Qianye. Behind him, Lu Fan followed closely.
When Han Qianye saw that Lord Brahma and Fallen Daynight’s divine statues had been destroyed, a vein throbbed on his forehead, and killing intent erupted out of him.
Han Qianye hissed, “Ignorant fool, to blaspheme the G.o.ds and slaughter the innocent—you’ve given my Brahma Pill Valley more than enough reason to obliterate the High Firmament Academy!”
Han Qianye seethed with anger. Glacial Heaven City lay in ruins, and the divine statues were shattered—something unprecedented in the history of Brahma Pill Valley. This was a direct provocation against Pill Valley’s bottom line.
As the Domain Lord, Han Qianye was about to go crazy. Simply killing Long Chen and his allies wasn’t enough to quell his fury; he wanted to drag the High Firmament Academy down with them.
“Ignorant fogey, you have colluded with the devil creatures to harm others, trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes and take control of the world, yet you can still slander others. Do you know that everything that happened in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain has been recorded by me? Once I leave, Brahma Pill Valley’s sinister face will be exposed to the world,” sneered Long Chen.
“Hahaha, the Glacial Heaven barrier has been activated. Leave? Are you dreaming?” Han Qianye laughed furiously.
“Is a half-step Human Emperor worth me dreaming about?” responded Long Chen indifferently.
At this moment, Lu Fan couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re looking down on a half-step Human Emperor? What a huge joke. Do you know what realm you are at?”
“Beneath Human Emperors, I am unmatched. Amongst Human Emperors, one for one. Is my realm enough?” declared Long Chen.
When everyone heard this, their heart and soul shuddered, and even heaven and earth resonated with his words. It was as if the world itself recognized his declaration.
This was not just a boast; it was a confidence that came from Long Chen’s soul, born from his experience of slaughtering his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
If anyone else had said this, they would have been scoffed at. But when these words came from Long Chen, the heavens rumbled, and everyone had no choice but to believe him.
“Hahaha, then let me see if your true ability matches your mouth!” Han Qianye laughed, his killing intent reaching its peak.
When the opening ceremony to the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain was completed, Han Qianye directly suppressed Bai Yingxuan and the others before leaving everything else to his subordinates.
He had then gone into seclusion to calm his raging emotions, which had been triggered by Long Chen’s slap. Such an emotional upheaval was not good for him, so he had to quickly calm down.
Han Qianye was on the brink of breaking through to the Human Emperor realm. However, if there was an issue with his mental state, he risked failing this rare opportunity—a failure that could delay his next chance for hundreds, or even thousands, of years.
Thus, he had quickly gone into seclusion to adjust his mental state. As the Domain Lord, he had set up multiple layers of protection, ensuring that even someone like Lu Fan, a son of Brahma, would need to pa.s.s through multiple locks to reach him.
This was why it had taken Han Qianye so long to come out. Now, seeing the divine statues and city destroyed, he was incensed. Long Chen’s brazen claim of being unrivaled beneath the Human Emperor realm only provoked him further.
BOOM!
Dragon qi swirled around Han Qianye, forming a nine-dragon diagram that floated within his manifestation. The earth beneath started to sink, and the void crackled and shattered like thin ice struck by a boulder.
Bai Yingxue and the others hastily fell back because the pressure of a Human Emperor was enough to make them feel like they would burst and their wills would collapse. If they didn’t retreat, they would simply be crushed. Mo Nian, Bai Yingxue, and the others weren’t the only ones forced to retreat—Lu Fan and his group also withdrew.
Within the ruins of Glacial Heaven City, only Long Chen and Han Qianye remained. They stood in the sky, with Han Qianye’s nine-dragon diagram rumbling behind him and Long Chen’s eight-color divine ring shaking the world. It was a confrontation between a seasoned, half-step Human Emperor and a peerless heavenly genius of the new era. Even before the battle began, the murderous aura between them already filled the air.
“Foolish brat, today I’ll show you a Human Emperor’s true power!” Han Qianye roared, tearing through s.p.a.ce and appearing in front of Long Chen, his palm slamming toward him with overwhelming force.
