Chapter 710: Chapter 709: Divine King’s Physique
"The might of the Tyrant’s Physique truly lives up to its reputation!"
Long Zhan’s expression was solemn, and although he still looked proud, he was very cautious about Xiang Batian in his heart.
He was proud, but not a fool; he dared not underestimate the Tyrant’s Physique.
Watching Xiang Batian take action.
The ancient races seemed as if they could not see what was happening, and the Clan Leader of the Mang Jiao Clan had a particularly vindicated look in his eyes.
He knew that the Demon God Temple was invited by the Origin Sect Master, and now he couldn’t wait for him to die.
Moreover, both parties were his enemies, and if they fought, he would be even happier.
"Brother Xiang, the Origin Sect Master is after all a Sect Master of our human race, if there is any issue, let’s have our human side handle it," one of them said.
Seeing Xiang Batian directly taking action, the elder known as Tongtian couldn’t just stand by.
After all, the Origin Sect Master was a major power of their human race; they couldn’t just stand by and watch the Origin Sect Master die.
This was a Quasi-Emperor, after all—how many Quasi-Emperors did their human race have?
Xiang Batian paid no attention to the elder Tongtian.
However, the hermit Qinglian standing behind Xiang Batian moved, smiling and saying, "I’ll meet with the elder Tongtian. I’ve long heard of the wide-reaching divine powers of elder Tongtian."
"However, the Origin Sect Master is someone our Hall Master intends to take back. I hope elder Tongtian will not interfere."
Hermit Qinglian spoke in an even tone, but his words were filled with an imposing air.
In simple terms, do not cause trouble for humanity over the matter of the Origin Sect.
Upon hearing the words of hermit Qinglian, the face of elder Tongtian immediately changed. It turned out to be the Hall Master of the Demon God Temple.
Boom!
The massive palm of hermit Qinglian then directly struck towards elder Tongtian.
Elder Tongtian’s complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly released divine glyphs to counter the giant hand.
Almost simultaneously, a strong aura exploded from hermit Qinglian’s body.
At that moment, blinding divine light burst forth from hermit Qinglian, accompanied by an incomparable pressure, as if a Divine King was looking down over the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Could it be, could this be the Divine King’s Physique?"
Elder Tongtian’s complexion changed drastically; this was yet another supreme physique.
To have the Tyrant’s Physique was already enough but to now face another with the Divine King’s Physique.
How could anyone compete with this? With these two supreme physiques present, which power would dare to make a move against the Demon God Temple?
Unless those virtual emperors from the forbidden lands appeared, and even then they would need to reactivate their remaining vitality, otherwise, who could be their match?
Elder Tongtian let out a soft sigh, "Forget it, I won’t interfere in this matter."
He was already wary of the Tyrant’s Physique, and now with the emergence of the Divine King’s Physique, he truly had no options left.
If they were to become enemies with the Demon God Temple over this, it would not be worth it, especially with the ancient races eyeing them covetously.
Whether the Origin Sect Master lived or died, he no longer concerned himself with it.
After all, he couldn’t endanger the human race due to the Origin Sect Master.
"Emperor Divine Blade, awaken for me!"
The Origin Sect Master called out loudly.
This was the Divine Weapon left by the first Emperor of the Yuanchu Sect, which also contained the consciousness of an emperor.
With the Origin Sect Master’s shout, an emperor’s consciousness dressed in white armor stepped forward.
"Hehe, another consciousness!"
Xiang Batian’s face was filled with disdain as he punched directly towards the emperor’s apparition.
The emperor’s consciousness didn’t speak, instead raising its great blade high and striking down towards Xiang Batian.
As the great blade swept through the air, its momentum was like a rainbow’s arch.
When they collided, a violent crash echoed, and even the galaxies seemed to be severed.
"Continue!"
The consciousness of the emperor clad in white armor seemed to have regained his former splendor, his eyes filled with battle intentions.
Blood boiled with fervor.
The emperor’s consciousness had fully awakened, as if he had returned to his own era.
Even the Void Emperors of the forbidden lands did not dare to withstand him head-on.
"You indeed possess a bit of the emperor’s grandeur; you’re worth my effort," said Xiang Batian with a hint of a smile in his eyes. Then, all of a sudden, his blood surged skyward, and his powerful aura forced countless creatures of the stars to prostrate themselves.
"Ah, the emperor’s consciousness is fully awake; it has the elegance of a young emperor indeed," the Eternal Elder sighed.
As the emperor’s weapon, the Emperor Divine Blade was always by the emperor’s side and was influenced by him, allowing the emperor’s consciousness to reappear in the realm of men.
"This is a battle between you and me, but before the fight, the ants still have to be dealt with," Xiang Batian stated as he reached out to grab the Origin Sect Master. In an instant, the Origin Sect Master’s physical body shattered, leaving only his soul.
This was simply not an existence on the same level.
No matter how formidable the Origin Sect Master was, in front of Xiang Batian, he was still insufficient.
Afterward, Xiang Batian tossed the soul aside, which the Green Lotus Arhat caught with one hand.
Having dealt with the Origin Sect Master, Xiang Batian released his restraints, elevating his aura to its peak.
"The strength of the Overlord!"
Xiang Batian swung out a fist; the sheer force shattered the void, filled with both his will and the ultimate expression of power.
The emperor’s consciousness’s eyes flickered without a word, his aura likewise reaching its pinnacle.
This was an emperor’s battle, no longer one of Quasi-Emperors.
Both sides let go of all restraints, casting various secret techniques as if they cost them nothing.
The astonishing power made those around them step back repeatedly.
"Quick, get away!"
Long Zhan’s complexion changed as he shouted loudly.
It wasn’t that he feared the backlash of the battle, but rather, it was exceedingly difficult for him to shield against these ripples.
In fact, without Long Zhan needing to say it, the people of the Mang Jiao Clan were also hastily retreating.
Only the Green Lotus Arhat still stood in midair, a faint smile on his lips, silently watching the battle before him.
Boom! The terrible aftermath reached the Green Lotus Arhat only to be blocked by a screen of light.
Seeing this, both the Eternal Elder and Long Zhan’s pupils shrank.
...
The battle continued, both individuals standing at the pinnacle of their power, with unimaginable force erupting with every move they made.
Xiang Batian grew more fierce as he fought, with what seemed like the phantom of a war god looming behind him.
"You cannot block me!" he roared, and under his fist, the Emperor Divine Blade actually started to crack.
Not long after, it shattered into fragments on the ground.
"It’s a shame, had you been in my era, perhaps you would have been a worthy opponent!" the emperor’s consciousness said to Xiang Batian, his eyes complex during the process of his dissipation.
"Had I been in your era, you would never have become an emperor," retorted Xiang Batian, as confident and overbearing as ever, looking down on the Emperor Divine Blade’s consciousness with cold eyes.
"Hahaha, perhaps that’s the case. I look forward to another opportunity to fight you!" The emperor’s consciousness also took it in stride, neither admitting nor denying it; perhaps for him, the very possibility of reappearing in the world of men was already a considerable achievement.
