The Human Emperor Chapter 1695 - The True World!

Chapter 1695: The True World!
This can’t continue. It seems like I’ll have to do that…
An idea occurred to Wang Chong, but he did not deeply ponder it.
Swish!
On the other side, a sliver of Sword Qi thinner than a hair was slicing through the air toward Wang Chong.
This attack was so fast that not even thoughts could keep up. If it struck true, Wang Chong would be dead.
“Brat, let’s see how you dodge this one!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s chilly voice was constantly moving around, and it rumbled like thunder in Wang Chong’s ears. The Sword Qi suddenly exploded in power, pushing its speed to new and terrifying levels.
At this moment, the sliver of Sword Qi turned from a tiny rivulet into a surging torrent, and the entire world seemed to pale.
Boom!
By this point, the Sword Qi was already right in front of Wang Chong’s face, illuminating it into a ghastly white.
The Myriad Stars Holy Judgment!
The Tianfu Divine Lord was not a master of the sword arts, but in the supreme art of the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper, there happened to be a powerful sword technique. Paired with the Tianfu Divine Lord’s peerless movement technique, it was simply unavoidable. The Tianfu Divine Lord had used this move to kill numerous powerful foes.
This move was extremely taxing, and its use showed just how badly Wang Chong had enraged the Tianfu Divine Lord!
“This kid is doomed!”
The men in black all saw this sight and recognized the Tianfu Divine Lord’s supreme skill. They had followed this man for many years and had long ago heard of its legendary power.
It was rumored that when this move was used, the Tianfu Divine Lord was issuing his holy judgment. Countless opponents had been turned to dust under this attack, not a single one surviving.
Buzz!
As Wang Chong sensed the sword intent of this attack and its unparalleled speed, his hair stood on end and goosebumps rose on his skin.
A tide of sword intent was rushing toward him, countless slivers, one for each of his pores and acupuncture points. Simply sensing this destructive Sword Qi was enough to make a person freeze, their brain grind to a halt.
I can’t block it!
This was what Wang Chong’s intuition told him. His blood ran cold as a sense of unprecedented danger seized his heart. If he didn’t block this attack, he wouldn’t be coming out with just a simple wound. He would be coming out as a corpse.
“Stone of Destiny, exchange all my Destiny Energy to completely unlock the seed!” Wang Chong bellowed in his mind at this crucial moment, immediately connecting with the Stone of Destiny and the golden seed.
After what seemed like a brief moment but also countless eons, the Stone of Destiny spoke.
“Request received! Exchange confirmed!”
At the same time, an immense energy surged into the golden seed.
“Unlocking 39%…… 46%…… 57%…… 79%…… 100%!
“Seed has been unlocked. User has obtained Golden Seed (Basic)!
“Description: This is a seed of limitless possibility, inextricably linked to this world. It is hoped that user will treasure this seed and constantly nurture it. In addition, this seed is linked to user’s ultimate fate. If it is constantly nurtured and raised, when the final moment comes, user will obtain an unexpected harvest!
“Golden Seed’s abilities unlocking! 45%…… 98%……. 100%!
“Congratulations to user for obtaining the Basic ability: True World!
“Description: With the seed, user can more clearly see the origin of the world. This ability is far greater than any other observation ability and can be considered an advanced form of seeing into the world of energy!
“Analysis of Golden Seed in progress…”
Thunder pealed in Wang Chong’s mind as a torrent of information swept over him. Heaven-shaking transformations took place as the brand-new energy erupted from the golden seed and filled his mind.
After more than one thousand years, the golden seed the Origin Immortal Lord had given to Wang Chong had finally emerged from hibernation. It was unsealed and had reached its basic form.
The golden seed was a half-complete product created by the Origin Immortal Lord after a long period of thought and contemplation. It represented limitless possibilities, but it was incomplete. Even a divine figure like the Origin Immortal Lord had not been able to complete it, so Wang Chong believed that his own chances were one in ten thousand.
But not even the Origin Immortal Lord could have imagined that Wang Chong would unlock the seal and complete the seed through such a method, and so soon after his death.
Unlocking the golden seed had required an astronomical one million points of Destiny Energy, an almost impossible mission for Wang Chong. But by borrowing the power of the Tianfu Divine Lord, he had found the simplest and fastest shortcut.
Rumble!
As the golden seed erupted with golden light, a faint and indescribable ripple radiated from Wang Chong and swept through the world.
This ripple was so weak that it was undetectable to the normal person, but it triggered a massive shift in the world.
Buzz!
In a place extremely far away from Wang Chong and the Tianfu Divine Lord, a figure was seated cross-legged, but when the golden seed was unlocked, this figure trembled as if they had been struck by a lightning bolt. Raising their head, they looked in the direction the ripple had come from.
“What in the… How could this be?”
The mysterious figure was brimming with unbelievable power, but at this moment, their eyes were stricken with extreme shock.
And this figure was far from the only one startled by this ripple.
In the night, under a starry sky, mysterious and powerful figures were disturbed by the World Origin energy and emerged from their various hiding places. As they turned in Wang Chong’s direction, countless thoughts ran through their mind.
But Wang Chong knew nothing about any of this.
Buzz!
Wang Chong’s eyelids trembled as the golden seed was unlocked, and when he opened his eyes, that new energy poured into them, opening a new world to him.
There was no rainbow of pure energy. This was a world that Wang Chong had never interacted with before.
There were no mountains, no rivers, no houses, nothing at all. Rather, everything seemed to be rendered in black ink.
Wang Chong looked up and saw that, without the cover of the dark clouds, he could see the vast sky of stars, but these stars were no longer stars. They were illusory points of light, and from these points of light were tiny threads less than a ten-thousandth the thickness of a hair. They protruded from the stars and, through some bizarre method, converged around the Tianfu Divine Lord.
At this moment, Wang Chong finally saw the Tianfu Divine Lord’s secret. Around the Tianfu Divine Lord was a force field made of countless star threads that revolved around him and drew in the power of the myriad stars.
This is the ‘True World’?
Upon seeing this strange sight, Wang Chong had a flash of insight.
At this moment, Wang Chong saw that sword strike. At the very beginning, this attack was moving faster than lightning, impossible to dodge and impossible to predict. But when he opened his eyes again, in an almost dream-like fashion, he could see it clearly.
Not only did Wang Chong see that this attack was formed from countless almost crystalline shards of starlight, he saw that it was dragging tens of thousands of threads behind it, and could clearly see how the energy within it came together. Moreover, the sword attack seemed to slow to a crawl as Wang Chong examined it, though this did not change its incredible speed and the impossibility of dodging it.
Buzz!
Wang Chong suddenly moved to the right, not in a vigorous lunge, but a small nudge, one that was repeated several times, with minor adjustments to angle and position. As his body moved forward and backward, his Stellar Energy also worked in an orderly fashion, erupting and receding in tune with Wang Chong’s movements.
This time, Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy was not erupting like a volcano, fiercely expanding in every direction. Each burst or retraction was focused on a particular location or region.
Boom!
The majestic sword intent swept unstoppably through the King of Foreign Lands Residence, creating a wave of energy several hundred feet high. As the void itself was sliced through, the explosive peals of thunder could be heard for ten-some li.
As this attack struck, the surrounding men in black stared expectantly at where Wang Chong was standing, but when the scene cleared up, they all cried out in dismay.
“Ah! How could this be?! He dodged the Myriad Stars Holy Judgment!”
“That can’t be! No one has ever blocked the High God’s attack before!”
At the center of the attack, Wang Chong was smiling, standing motionlessly atop the ruins of a fake mountain.
His clothes were in tatters, the left sleeve of his robe obliterated, revealing the tough and sturdy arm beneath, but Wang Chong did not appear like someone who had been injured.
All the men in black were stunned. The Tianfu Divine Lord’s speed was so fast that the other High Gods found it difficult to dodge his attacks, let alone mere mortals. If Wang Chong had displayed some inconceivable ability and completely left the zone of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attack, they could have somewhat accepted the present situation, but Wang Chong was standing in the very center of the impact zone, completely unharmed. For the men in black, this was simply inconceivable.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Even the Tianfu Divine Lord’s long-time servant, the black-robed monk, was deeply stunned.
