Chapter 479: Chapter 481: The Madman’s Outburst [First Update, Please Subscribe]

"So, you want us to destroy each other? I shall grant you that!"

Emperor Zhao had wanted to resolve this matter peacefully. He was even willing to overlook the death of his son, Zhao Tianxia. But facing Wu Tian’s relentless pressure, he decided to stake his own life on their mutual destruction.

In his eyes, Wu Tian’s body was like a top-grade Magic Artifact. But even a top-grade Magic Artifact could not withstand the full might of his power.

Immediately, a powerful and terrifying aura erupted from Emperor Zhao, pressing toward Wu Tian like a tidal wave. Because of the superior-grade Earth Spirit Root in his body, his aura carried the faint impression of collapsing earth and flying rocks.

"How terrifying! Is this the power of the Righteous Alliance’s Hierarch? The prowess of the Hollow Void Realm?"

"Yes!"

Liu Tianji and Yin Fengxue fell back. Even they found it hard to breathe under Emperor Zhao’s aura and had to move further away just to be able to.

But the youngster stood his ground without retreating. With the Wind and Cloud Overbearing Scripture’s mental method circulating within him, he felt none of Emperor Zhao’s oppressive aura. This was one of the great advantages of the Wind and Cloud Overbearing Scripture: fearlessness against any aura.

Liu Tianji, Yuan Beizheng, and the others looked at the youngster, their eyes wide with surprise.

"ARGH!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At this moment, Liu Tianji and the others had no time to think about it further, as their attention was completely captivated by Emperor Zhao’s roar. As the saying goes, all your power comes from the roar.

Emperor Zhao was now mobilizing all the power within his body.

RUMBLE!

The Land of Great Brightness itself seemed to tremble. Emperor Zhao’s oppressive might shook The Firmament, and everyone still alive in the Land of Great Brightness felt a suffocating pressure. They felt that if they were Wu Tian standing before Emperor Zhao, they would be crushed directly into dust. This was the way a Hollow Void cultivator utilized the power of heaven and earth. Of course, to Wu Tian, this level of power barely counted as such.

"Big brother, let me help you," Qiao’er’s voice echoed from the Nine Dragon Ring.

Wu Tian shook his head. He would never resort to bullying someone with numbers.

He raised the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, his eyes brimming with a powerful Killing Intent. With the sword in hand, a Sword Intent capable of severing anything in existence was born between heaven and earth. Wu Tian could not unleash the swordsmanship of his former peak, but his Sword Intent had not diminished in the slightest. This Sword Intent reached from the heavens to the earth, capable of killing anything and everything.

Wu Tian was determined to kill Emperor Zhao. If the Emperor didn’t die today, the Righteous Alliance might regroup in the future, which would put Qin Yuhan in danger.

Therefore, he had to die.

Wu Tian’s eyes were filled with a surging Killing Intent as he confronted Emperor Zhao. His Sword Intent completely severed the Emperor’s oppressive aura, wiping it out of existence.

Emperor Zhao’s eyelids twitched. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead and rolled down, stinging his eyes. But he dared not close them, nor wipe them away. The Sword Intent had locked onto him, making him tremble with fear.

Why! Why does he possess such a powerful Sword Intent? Even the hierarch of the Evil Alliance, who wields an evil sword, doesn’t have a Sword Intent like this!

Although Emperor Zhao was terrified, a bottleneck within him seemed to shatter amidst his fear and indignation. His body began to emit an even more powerful force as he felt the transformation within.

"Hahahaha..." Emperor Zhao suddenly burst out laughing. "My seclusion was for the sole purpose of breaking into the Eleventh Realm of cultivation, the Mahayana Realm! To have my Divine Body purified, my cultivation perfected, my strength accumulated, and to achieve completion! To surpass the true self and give birth to a transcendent self!

"This is Mahayana!

"Wu Tian, oh, Wu Tian! I was in seclusion, but I couldn’t find a way to advance! And yet, under your pressure, I’ve actually succeeded!

"Good, good, good! Now, I shall grant you the gift of death!"

As his voice fell, Emperor Zhao’s aura surged. In the current Underground World, no one had yet undergone tribulation, and it was unknown when any tribulation-related relics might appear. This meant that the Mahayana Realm was the peak of power.

Behind him, the phantom of his Nascent Soul—a giant projection of Ying Zheng—began to solidify. The Nascent Soul emanated an endless, incomparably powerful Yuan Force. As it took on a more physical form, the might of Ying Zheng became seemingly invincible.

"A giant Nascent Soul phantom? Why does it look like a Susa from some ninja anime to me?" the youngster couldn’t help but remark while observing the scene. The shadow of Ying Zheng was indeed as massive as a giant’s.

"Under all heaven, there is no land that is not the king’s. To the borders of the earth, there are none who are not the king’s servants!" Emperor Zhao declared coldly. "I will personally take action and grant you death. This is your honor!"

Having reached the Mahayana Realm, Emperor Zhao’s heart filled with boundless confidence. He now saw himself as the most terrifying existence among all living beings.

"I? Every time I hear you say that, I feel like vomiting," Wu Tian said indifferently, a hint of pity in his eyes.

The Great Qin Empire fell long ago, yet this man still thinks he’s a descendant of Ying Zheng and the rightful Emperor! It’s true that, according to legend, the term "Emperor" was coined by Qin Shi Huang himself. When Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, unified China, he considered his virtue to have matched the Three Sovereigns and his accomplishments to have surpassed the Five Emperors, and so he created the term "Emperor." But that title should have been left in the dust of history.

"Today, you will die!" Wu Tian shouted coldly.

Emperor Zhao scoffed in disdain. Having ascended to the Mahayana Realm, the destructive power of his fists had increased by an unknown magnitude. He was invincible!

He would definitely be able to shatter Wu Tian’s body!

Emperor Zhao’s fists blurred, creating what seemed like millions of phantom fists. They all struck at Wu Tian simultaneously, engulfing him completely. Watching from the sidelines, Liu Tianji and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

Instantly, thousands of fist phantoms smashed toward Wu Tian. The attack was dense and overwhelming—impossible to defend against and impossible to block. But Wu Tian had no intention of blocking anyway.

BOOM! BOOM!

One punch after another, like meteorites striking the Earth, slammed into Wu Tian.

RUMBLE!

When the thousands of fist phantoms landed, they triggered a massive explosion. Wu Tian’s figure was swallowed by the flames as the spot where he stood blew apart.

Emperor Zhao smiled slightly. "The might of the emperor is not to be challenged."

Then, he turned to face Liu Tianji and the others, stating coldly, "I have now reached the Mahayana Realm in my cultivation, making me unrivaled in this world. Wu Tian offended me, so he had to be executed! And as for you traitors... you must be executed as well!"

Liu Tianji and the others could not help but fall back.

The youngster scoffed, "Hey, you haven’t actually beaten my dad yet. Don’t believe me? Turn around and look."

The youngster’s words were a slap in the face. Emperor Zhao’s brow furrowed. He turned around, and sure enough, a figure was walking out of the flames. Except for his tattered shirt, he was completely unharmed.

"You..." Emperor Zhao’s expression changed drastically. I’ve reached the Mahayana Realm! My fists are countless times stronger than when I was in the Hollow Void Realm. How can they still not harm Wu Tian?

"Again," Wu Tian said, beckoning provocatively with his finger. "Is that all you’ve got?"

’All I’ve got?’ How could that be!

"I don’t believe it! ARGH! DIE!" Emperor Zhao roared, his eyes filled with incredulous madness. He cast aside all his imperial dignity and charged fiercely toward Wu Tian like a lunatic, his only desire to see Wu Tian dead.
