537 Improvise
“Who’s there?!”
Himmel Soan heard somebody shouting.
His speculation was correct. The two monsters were only vanguards who held the first defense line.
There was a second line of defense behind them. The monster there had detected his arrival. Not only that, but the monster had reached the Quasi-Emperor stage and was almost as capable as Himmel Soan.
“The Patriarch worries too much. He used to say when the passageway opened, a significant change would happen in this era. The visitor would be the only one who could threaten the existence of our world.
“To my disappointment, I only see a Quasi-Emperor here. That’s just preposterous.”
A figure landed in front of Himmel Soan. It was another nine-headed monster but far more powerful than the first two.
“Members of the ten royal families have been taking turns to guard this passageway, and all I see is you, an ant. That’s just disappointing,” said the monster.
Ever since the Patriarch made that prophecy, the ten families had been guarding this passageway so that nothing would threaten this world.
The monster didn’t expect to see someone like Himmel Soan here.
Himmel Soan was a Quasi-Emperor, but that wasn’t enough.
All ten families had one or two Quasi-Emperors. Although rare, there were still dozens of them, whereas Himmel Soan was the only one in his world.
The monster thought he could crush Himmel Soan single-handedly, not to mention there were so many of them.
“Ant? Do you really think you can defeat me?” Himmel Soan’s face darkened, and his tone was cold.
A sword appeared in his hand, left for him by the Emperor. The bell he heard in the multi-space came from a little bronze bell, which was a pendant hanging at the end of the hilt.
That was how capable the Emperor had been. Even the pendant on his weapon could maintain the peace of the world.
“Emperor’s sword! It seems you have something to do with that relentless man many, many years ago. He invaded our world and killed five Quasi-Emperors. Do you want to do the same now?”
All nine heads shouted at him together. It was the peak state of a nine-headed monster. Nine heads would activate their abilities together, exerting all the power the monster had.
Each head had its specialty. Nine heads represented nine forms, and together, they gave the monster its full power.
Immediately after that, the monster appeared in front of Himmel Soan. The dark green ball of light almost became black.
The snake head hadn’t spat out the venom yet, but Himmel Soan already felt dizzy. That was the kind of power a nine-headed monster had when it reached its maximum potential.
Even at his current level, Himmel Soan couldn’t completely block the snake’s toxin.
“Is that all you have? You’re nowhere near as capable as that man. I’m only using the ability of one head, and you’re already in a fluster.” The monster guffawed.
He was there when the Emperor came to this world.
His race used to have two Quasi-Emperors. The other one was older and stronger than him. However, that monster was killed by the Emperor with a single strike.
Compared to the Emperor, Himmel Soan was nowhere near as impressive.
“Ten thousand swords!” Himmel Soan bellowed.
The Emperor Sword turned into ten thousand swords and was suspended in midair. They moved in unison, dissipating the snake’s toxin before flying toward the monster.
“You’re using that man’s moves. The two of you are closer than I thought. Still, it won’t change anything. That man has failed, and so will you.” The monster remained calm.
His nine heads started chanting together. The sound seemed to come from ancient times. All the swords fell apart and reappeared in Himmel Soan’s hand as the Emperor Sword.
“What’s that possible?!” Himmel Soan was astonished.
The monster was also a Quasi-Emperor, so he shouldn’t have been able to deal with his move so easily. However, Himmel Soan couldn’t deny what had happened.
“You idiot. That man invaded our world, so of course, we know his skills. Our Patriarch spent a million years to create this technique that can resolve all his attacks,” the monster said casually upon noticing Himmel Soan’s surprise.
That so-called Patriarch had existed for as long as this world had. Since he had fought the Emperor before, it wasn’t surprising that he could create something to target him.
This technique was widely spread around the world. As soon as Himmel Soan used the Emperor’s moves, he would be suppressed.
Creatures with lower cultivation levels might not be able to subdue Himmel Soan. However, Himmel Soan had all the disadvantages when fighting a monster of his own level.
He had to create something new!
The Emperor’s techniques were useless here. To destroy this world, he had to create techniques of his own, something this world had never seen before. That was the only way he could defeat the creatures here.
“In that case, I won’t use the sword anymore.” Himmel Soan put away the Emperor Sword.
His eyes looked like two dark pits. No one could tell what was on his mind. His aura also underwent a change. It was a mixture of insanity, kindness, indifference, and bloodthirst.
One could see all those emotions in Himmel Soan. Somehow, they blended perfectly together.
“Are you trying to create a technique in front of me? You’ll regret it!” The monster bellowed and glared at Himmel Soan, feeling humiliated.
