Chapter 1662: The Human Emperor Never Dies!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bu Fang’s warning came quickly—his voice rang through the starry sky in an instant. Tongtian’s response was timely, but it was too late.
The moment Bu Fang told him to be careful, the Sect Leader, out of confidence in Bu Fang, immediately raised his guard. But before he could block it, he was hit by a terrible force of energy.
Not far in front of him, the two human emperors snapped their heads up, and a sardonic smile spread across their faces. Yes, they showed a cruel and eerie smile! That was not the look the human emperors should be wearing!
For a split second, Tongtian felt his blood run cold through his body. The feeling was as if he had walked through the gates of hell!
The skin of the emperor sitting cross-legged in the Eight Trigram Array turned black at a rate visible to the naked eye. Black energy could be seen twisting and crawling like worms around him, emitting horrible sinful power.
With a thought, the green sword fell in front of Tongtian. He sucked in a cold breath. The next moment, an Eight Trigram Array shot out from Fuxi’s body and struck him in a flash.
On the other side, the emperor who was surrounded by various divine herbs flicked open his eyes. Dark sinful energy swirled around him, causing those divine herbs to wither. Then, with a rumble, all of them were crushed into powder.
Suddenly, a cane swept out of the emperor’s hand and struck Tongtian’s body.
Hit by the tremendous force, the green sword’s bright luster grew dim as the Sect Leader spat out a large amount of blood, flying backward. Before the four immortal swords could form a defense, he was already knocked flying away.
He retreated in midair, blood streaming from the corners of his mouth. At the same time, wisps of dark energy were constantly invading his body, making him feel that he was about to be contaminated at any moment.
“What’s going on?!” Tongtian spat out a mouthful of blood and stared in anger.
Why did the two human emperors attack him? They had no reason to attack him, right? His joy of learning that the two human emperors were still alive was shattered at that moment.
The four immortal swords hung around him, unleashing rays of light to block the evil energy that kept corroding at him. This energy was purer than the sinful energy of any Soul Overlord he had ever met.
The two emperors rose to their feet. Their faces shone with a black sinful aura, but there was a struggling look in their eyes. Apparently, their consciousness still existed.
They walked slowly in the air, their tattered clothes fluttering. Blurry black figures crept out from behind them and wrapped around their bodies.
A gruesome laugh resounded as the wills of the two human emperors seemed to be surging. With a rumble, a terrifying attack fell once again.
Tongtian felt his heart and soul tremble. Blood spurted out of his mouth as he retreated once again and came to Bu Fang’s side.
Bu Fang took a step forward and gave the Sect Leader a serious look. With a shake of his hand, he produced a glowing oyster pancake.
“Eat this,” he said.
Tongtian ate it without hesitation—he did not think Bu Fang would hurt him. As soon as he swallowed the oyster pancake, the sinful aura around his body disappeared immediately, and his injuries recovered a little.
“What’s going on?! Why did the two human emperors attack us?” The Sect Leader frowned in disbelief.
“The culprit should be Soul Demons… The two human emperors have been guarding this portal to the Soul Demon Universe. Perhaps the Soul Demon’s power is too strong that it has seeped through the portal and affected their tired spirits…”
Bu Fang’s face was very serious. Suiren’s fall had filled him with grief. In his mind, Suiren was the emperor of mankind, a kind elder. He naturally grieved at the passing of such a being.
There was anger burning inside him now.
“Mankind… you’re finished! The Soul God is about to awaken! When the time comes, all the universes will have to submit under the almighty Soul God!” said the demonized human emperor.
It sounded like two voices overlapping one another. Without a doubt, the one who spoke was not Fuxi, but the Soul Overlord from the Soul Demon Universe.
There were seven Soul Overlords in the Soul Demon Universe. Each of them was stronger than the Soul Overlords of other universes.
Bu Fang guessed that these seven Soul Overlords had most likely reached the level of Chaotic Saints. This was why the three human emperors fell under their control.
The three human emperors were all just Saints of the Great Path. Their identity might be very special and they possessed immense merit and virtue, but that only increased their status, not their cultivation base.
Chaotic Saints were existences of a different level. Even in the Primitive Universe, there were only a few people at the top who were at this level.
The eyes of Shennong and Fuxi became completely black. The next moment, they struck out. Although they were not Chaotic Saints, they both possessed the strength of peak Saints of the Great Path. That kind of strength was even more than Tongtian had ever had.
“What can I do?”
Tongtian’s robe was stained with blood, and he was a little confused and torn. What should he do? Fight the two emperors? But he was reluctant to do that…
Boom!
The four immortal swords turned into an array, protecting Bu Fang and the Sect Leader. However, each blast from the two emperors caused the swords to tremble. By the looks of things, the array would not last long.
Fuxi was holding a bronze eight trigram compass, which possessed incredible power, while Shennong had a wooden cane, which was legendarily a branch of the Chaos World Tree.
These two weapons were supreme divine artifacts, and when coupled with the mighty cultivation base of the two human emperors, the attacks caused the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array to wail and scream.
“Fellow Daoist Bu, since you were able to dispel the demonic energy in me, can you also help the two human emperors?” Tongtian looked at Bu Fang expectantly, his aura fluctuating. However, to his disappointment, Bu Fang shook his head.
“I can’t do it… The sinful power you are infected with is not strong, and the duration is short, so one oyster pancake is enough to dispel it. But the sinful power the two human emperors were infected with was the accumulation from their years of guarding the portal…
“It has penetrated deep into their spirit seas, so no external help can dispel it. Only they can save themselves now. They must rely on their willpower to overcome the sinful power…” Bu Fang said with a sigh.
“So what should we do?” Tongtian was at a loss for a moment.
Down below, the Eight Trigrams Array that suppressed the cosmic portal glowed brilliantly. However, wisps of evil energy were seeping out of the bright light, gradually forming a black energy ball in the center of the array.
The energy ball was a Soul Demon egg. Terrible suction was emanating from it. At the same time, countless stars in the surroundings kept exploding, and the energy contained in them was being pulled into the black energy ball.
Naturally, the disastrous scene was noticed by Bu Fang and Tongtian.
“The beast behind the array is about to come out!”
The Sect Leader’s pupils constricted, and Bu Fang’s face grew grave. They both knew exactly what was behind the array. It was something that the three human emperors had given their lives to suppress. How could they let this thing get out so easily?
“Fellow Daoist Bu, you go and destroy that thing. Let me hold back the two human emperors!”
Tongtian had not fully healed, and there was still blood running down the corners of his mouth, but the situation was too critical for him to hold back.
Bu Fang nodded and immediately flew toward the Eight Trigrams Array.
The black hole was rotating in the starry sky, giving off a seductive charm. As soon as Bu Fang left the sword array, the two emperors locked onto him. The eight trigrams compass flew toward him with a crushing force, and Shennong’s crane lashed out at him.
Even then, Tongtian roared and raised both his hands into the air. A rumbling sound rang out as the whole sword array was lifted by him, blocking the attacks from the two demonized emperors. The next moment, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his robe burst. But he managed to block the attacks.
The two human emperors were both half-step Chaotic Saints. Their strength was extremely scary and not weaker than Tongtian, but he succeeded in blocking their attacks at the cost of being wounded.
This had given Bu Fang the opportunity. He turned into a stream of light and came to the array over the black hole, hovering in front of the Soul Demon egg that seemed to be beating like a heart. Without the slightest hesitation, he lifted his hand.
The silver-red divine fire emerged in his palm. Bu Fang looked at it and was stunned for a moment. It was the divine fire that Suiren gave him. The human emperor had fallen, but Bu Fang sensed Suiren’s faint aura from the divine fire at this moment.
He raised his brows, and a flash of delight suddenly appeared in his eyes.
‘The primordial fire of mankind! Maybe Suiren hasn’t disappeared yet… As long as this fire is not extinguished, he will not die…’
He flipped his hand and put away the divine fire. He must guard the flame with care. After all, it represented the hope of Suiren’s resurrection.
Then, with a shake of his hand, he took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. Looking at the egg, his face turned icy cold.
“The Kitchen Knife of… Affliction!”
Bu Fang’s cold voice rang out, and his eyes bloomed with a golden light. He had activated his divine ability, the God of Cooking’s Eye. A black dot immediately appeared on the surface of the egg.
He thrust out the knife. The slash instantly split and turned into ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine slashes. With Bu Fang’s current strength, he could easily kill an ordinary Immortal Emperor with one slash, and with so many slashes, he could even shatter the sun! The power of this attack was extremely terrifying!
However, when the slashes struck the soft-looking egg, they only created bright sparks. Bu Fang did not give up and kept attacking. Finally, after a few attempts, a tiny crack appeared on the egg’s surface.
At this moment, an angry roar echoed out of the egg. Bu Fang’s pupils constricted.
In the distance, Tongtian kept coughing up blood as he struggled to fend off the attacks of the two demonized human emperors.
The two emperors began to panic. They wanted to unleash all their power when golden light suddenly flashed in their eyes. For a moment, they froze in midair, their bodies swaying as if they were going through a fierce battle in their heads…
Tongtian’s aura became much weaker now. He took several steps back. His green sword had been tainted by the sinful power just now and could not be used, so he had only the four immortal swords left. But they were not good at defense.
After resisting several attacks, the glow of the four immortal swords had become much dimmer and looked as if it would go out completely at any moment.
Tongtian exhaled. Looking at the two human emperors frozen in midair, he let out a hearty laugh. He knew he was not fighting alone. The spirits of the two human emperors were helping him!
Suddenly, Shennong recovered. He lifted the branch of the World Tree and swept it toward the Sect Leader. The blow caused the void to keep crumbling.
Tongtian’s aura was a little weak. The attack was most likely to seriously injure him and leave him dying.
Just as the branch of the World Tree was about to pass through the four immortal swords and hit Tongtian, a roar came from the distance, and then a flash of golden light approached at lightning speed!
“Eat my stick!”
Dong!
A golden-banded staff collided with the tree branch. The tremendous impact threw the staff back, spinning, but it managed to block the sweeping blow that was about to hit Tongtian.
Sun Wukong did a somersault and grabbed the staff with his hairy hands. Eyes flashing goldenly, he gave the staff a shake, which grew as huge as a small star and smashed down toward the demonized Shennong.
Meanwhile, on the Eight Trigrams Array in the distance, Bu Fang made another slash with the kitchen knife. This time, however, the silver-red divine fire emerged by itself and enveloped the knife.
A click rang out, and then the Soul Demon egg burst apart. Suddenly, a scarlet arm shot out of the egg and slapped toward Bu Fang.
Bu Fang immediately felt breathless as if all the energy between heaven and earth had been drained by this slap!
