ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 5 - Season 17 Episode 39

The storyteller had a grim expression as he channeled his Essence Spirit. Waving both hands in front of him, he suddenly threw out his sleeves and shouted, “Sleeve Universe!”

Swoosh!

The Heavenly God Emperor’s finger did not manage to make contact with the body of the storyteller. Instead, it was as though he had fallen into a boundless universe!

Sleeve Universe was a supreme divine power.

A single sleeve of his Dao robes contained an entire universe!

Although the attack power of that supreme divine power was not strong, it could encompass everything. Even everyone in Enigma Palace could be contained by that small sleeve.

In that single universe, the Heavenly God Emperor’s finger burst forth with boundless divine light and spread continuously!

“Hmph!”

The Heavenly God Emperor harrumphed coldly and an extremely terrifying power spread from the finger. It was like a gigantic spear that was sharp and wanted to penetrate and judge everything!

The storyteller’s expression changed slightly.

Shing!

The sleeve of the storyteller shattered instantly!

That universe was also torn by the Heavenly God Emperor’s finger and a terrifying power struck the storyteller, turning his body into a blood mist! The difference in strength between the two of them was way too great!

Even that supreme divine power could not defend against a single finger of the Heavenly God Emperor!

Although they were both supreme divine powers, the power that was released by an Emperor who comprehended six supreme divine powers was naturally many times stronger.

Su Zimo could see it clearly.

The storyteller was not dead.

The moment the Heavenly God Emperor’s finger tore through the Sleeve Universe, the storyteller sensed danger beforehand and escaped with his Essence Spirit, avoiding the lethal attack!

The storyteller’s Essence Spirit floated in midair and looked at the blood mist before him, but he could not condense a physical body for a long time.

It was not that he did not want to.

It was because the power of his Essence Spirit was almost depleted and he could not even use Blood Rebirth!

This was a tragic scene.

To think that an Emperor of the human race would be reduced to such a state. “Storyteller!”

The Emperors in the surroundings exclaimed softly.

Everyone could sense the storyteller’s frailness as his Essence Spirit and lifeforce drained rapidly.

Even without the Heavenly God Emperor attacking a second time, the storyteller would die soon.

“Master!”

Lin Xuanji took a half-step forward and lamented.

Although he was impolite towards the storyteller usually, his feelings for the latter were extremely deep.

He had never called the storyteller ‘master’. However, at that moment, the words that were buried deep in his heart blurted out.

“Mystic Emperor!”

Many cultivators knelt on the ground with sorrowful expressions.

Everyone could tell that the reason why the storyteller insisted on standing out despite certain death was because he wanted to protect the last bit of dignity of the human race!

“Fufu,”

The Heavenly God Emperor had a mocking expression and said in disdain, “How dare you jump out to die when you can’t even defend against a single finger of mine!”

“I’ll send you on your final journey!”

He flicked his finger gently and a divine light shot towards the storyteller!

Boom! Boom!

Right then, a thunderbolt descended from the skies and struck the divine light, shattering it!

Everyone was moved!

Even a casual divine light from the Heavenly God Emperor was enough to destroy most Emperors—it was not so easy to shatter it.

Who could shatter the power of the Heavenly God Emperor?

Everyone subconsciously looked up. Lightning flashed and thunder crackled above Enigma Palace. A large dark cloud shrouded and formed a gigantic vortex that spun continuously, emitting a terrifying might!

A gigantic sea of lightning was formed within the vortex.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed!

An ancient palace descended slowly within that cloud vortex and appeared above the skies of Enigma Palace. It had a berserk might like a divine being! The Human Emperor’s Palace had appeared!

Endless fervor surged into the eyes of many cultivators and they were on the verge of cheering!

What did the appearance of the Human Emperor’s Palace at this moment imply?

Was the Human Emperor going to descend upon Tianhuang Mainland?

The arrival of the Human Emperor’s Palace reignited the hopes of many cultivators!

The experts of the primordial races were scared out of their wits and trembled.

The phantom of the Human Emperor earlier on was enough to terrify them, let alone the Human Emperor’s Palace!

However, the Emperors of the primordial races present, such as the Hell Witch Emperor, Golden Crow Fire Emperor and Heavenly God Emperor, had calm expressions. They looked up at the ancient palace and their auras rose continuously!

Even the Human Emperor’s Palace could not suppress them!

“Could the Eternal Human Emperor have descended?”

The red-headed ghost was shocked.

The Chen Dragon Emperor shook his head. “The Human Emperor has long ascended to the upper world. There’s no way he could have reversed that situation and returned to a lower world like Tianhuang Mainland.”

“What does that mean?”

The red-headed ghost frowned slightly.

“In this universe, there are countless worlds like Tianhuang Mainland. God’s Mainland is one of them,”

The Chen Dragon Emperor explained, “These worlds are on the same level and their strengths are similar. If one can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, they will ascend to a higher level of strength which is the upper world that we’re referring to.”

“There are extremely terrifying Heaven and Earth laws between the upper and lower worlds. If cultivators of the lower worlds want to ascend, they have to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence where they would most likely be doomed.”

“However, it’s also impossible for immortals of the upper world to return to the lower worlds!”

“Before anyone from the upper world descends upon Tianhuang Mainland, they will be destroyed by the Heaven and Earth laws in the middle!”

The red-headed ghost nodded.

If those of the upper world could come to the lower worlds casually, the millions of worlds in this universe would have long turned into chaos!

Su Zimo’s expression changed. He wanted to say something but stopped.

He was the only one who knew that the situation described by the Chen Dragon Emperor was not absolute!

At the very least, Die Yue had been to Tianhuang Mainland before!

Given Die Yue’s capabilities, she was definitely an existence of the upper world!

Su Zimo asked, “Why can the Human Emperor’s Palace travel down from the upper world?”

The Chen Dragon Emperor shook his head. “The Human Emperor’s Palace has never ascended to the upper world. This is the final trump card left behind by the Eternal Human Emperor in Tianhuang Mainland!”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he vaguely guessed something. The Chen Dragon Emperor continued, “Actually, the primordial races have long returned to their peak of the primordial era. However, the reason why they haven’t attacked for so long is because of the threat of the Human Emperor’s Palace!”

“The Human Emperor’s Palace appeared seven times to pass down the inheritance of the Human Emperor. However, that was only symbolic. Its true purpose was to intimidate the primordial races!”

“The owner of the Human Emperor’s Palace is the Eternal Human Emperor. However, the person in charge of the Human Emperor’s Palace is someone else known as the Palace Guardian.”

“It’s him!”

Su Zimo recalled the mysterious old man in the Human Emperor’s Palace.

The Chen Dragon Emperor said, “The Palace Guardians pass down the inheritance continuously and almost all of them are the strongest Emperors of the human race in every generation!”

“Then why did the primordial races dare to attack in this generation?”

Su Zimo asked again.

“That’s because, like me, the Palace Guardian of this generation is old,” The Chen Dragon Emperor said, “40,000 years ago, the Palace Guardian took a liking to a cultivator and wanted to nurture him as the next successor of the Human Emperor’s Palace. He even passed down the Human Emperor’s Mirror to that person.”

“Unfortunately, that person died 40,000 years ago and the Palace Guardian never managed to find another suitable successor.”

“If that person did not die 40,000 years ago, he would have definitely grown to become the new Palace Guardian after all these years. As such, the Heavenly God Emperor and the others wouldn’t have dared to act rashly out of caution against him.”
