Chapter 1840: Chapter 871: Immortal Tribulation! Human Emperor... Blade! (Part 3)
If we really did this, we would be eternal sinners of the demon race, and besides... Chen Yuan’s nature has always been to eliminate the root causes completely. Even if we escape to the ends of the earth.
We would not find peace. If he truly becomes the strongest ever, perhaps with just a thought, he could trace us through the threads of cause and effect."
Mo Ying’s words left the several demon gods in deep silence.
"Our demon race has battled the heavens and the earth, standing firm in the human world. We have retreated and been defeated, but never scattered. This Emperor may be incompetent, leading to today’s tribulation, but I am willing to exchange my last strength for the future of the demon race."
Mo Ying did not know if Luo Tian Demon God’s promise was true or false, but he had already prepared for the worst.
To fight to the death for the demon race, to fight to the death for himself!
"Demon Emperor...."
Bai Shan Demon God hesitated to speak.
"Do not worry, this Emperor is not made of mud. Although Chen Yuan is strong, he is not invincible. This Emperor has already found a way to deal with him, but I cannot tell you what it is.
If you believe in me, bring out all of the demon race’s resources and help me achieve success."
Mo Ying said in a deep voice.
"Cheng Tian is willing to fight to the death with the Demon Emperor, to carve out a path for our demon race!"
"Qing Ming is willing to fight to the death with the Demon Emperor, to protect the legacy of our demon race!"
"Bai Shan...."
The demon gods expressed their stance one after another, their faces solemn. At this moment, after hearing Mo Ying’s words, they finally accepted this Demon Emperor from the bottom of their hearts.
"Very well, pass the Emperor’s order, prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes...."
...
...
Time slowly passed by, and in the blink of an eye, seven days went by. The demon race actively prepared for battle with unity and determination, fully aware that if they lost this war, their race would be enslaved from then on.
Therefore, no matter what they were doing, there were no complaints whatsoever.
Millennia of accumulated resources from the demon race were also willingly offered. Following Mo Ying Demon Emperor’s order, they built a massive altar, as if preparing to welcome some great being.
The several demon gods were filled with confusion but did not seek to uncover the truth. It was their only hope, their last hope. Knowing the truth might actually bring despair instead.
The oppression from the human race grew increasingly terrifying. They also had one thought, which was to waste these resources but never let them be taken by the human race.
As for the promises made by Luo Tian Demon God earlier, whether a few days or at most half a month, had not truly come to fruition, even though seven days had passed and progress continued to be made.
It was only about one-fifth complete.
To prevent Chen Yuan from discovering this place before Luo Tian Demon God descended, Bai Shan Demon God burned his origin to shield the fate and conceal this place.
Cheng Tian Demon God and Qing Ming Demon God each led a group of demon strongmen to create disturbances elsewhere to divert the human race’s attention.
Of course, to prevent true failure leading to the eternal doom of the demon race, after discussion among the demon gods, they quickly selected a group of incredibly talented demon race prodigies from among a hundred races.
They were hidden in various places, silently cultivating with a portion of the cultivation resources. If they truly lost, these demon race prodigies would be the last spark of hope.
And also within these seven days, the Emperor Slaughter Saber, finally under Chen Yuan’s assistance, completely absorbed all remaining power of the Fen Tian Demon Emperor.
The originally enormous body, thousands of feet tall, had now gradually shriveled and shrunk to a size of a hundred feet, and all had lost all its oppressive aura.
The Emperor Slaughter Saber emitted terrifying power.
Causing the God Slaying Spear to be quite envious, yet it was clear that it was not the immortal weapon Chen Yuan was most satisfied with and did not have true unity of mind and heart.
During these seven days, Chen Yuan also brought the Emperor Slaughter Saber back to the human world to undergo the ninth celestial tribulation.
Because by then, the Emperor Slaughter Saber had reached its limit of absorption, so there was no choice. As a result, after passing the ninth celestial tribulation, the saber even had the thought of becoming an Immortal Weapon.
But it was stopped by Chen Yuan.
Letting it continue to devour the body of the Fen Tian Demon Emperor.
"It’s time."
Chen Yuan gently stroked the Emperor Slaughter Saber, murmuring to himself. He could feel that the saber was now nearly at its limit of endurance, and he eagerly anticipated the surprises the saber would bring.
"Buzz buzz...."
The Emperor Slaughter Saber trembled continuously, responding to Chen Yuan.
"Go!"
Chen Yuan casually threw Emperor Slaughter into the depths of the starry sky. It no longer suppressed its power, and began to rapidly disperse, while streaks of tribulation clouds began to gather in the starry sky.
The massive commotion stretched for thousands of miles.
Within the starry sky, continuous tremors and roars erupted, strands of lightning manifesting, exuding an aura of destruction.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the fall of the first celestial lightning, the Emperor Slaughter Saber broke through all restraints, charging towards the descending thunder tribulation just as its owner Chen Yuan had before.
The Immortal Tribulation has begun!
.....
The reason Chen Yuan allowed the Emperor Slaughter Saber to undergo tribulation in the starry sky was after consulting the God Slaying Spear. The spear expressed that when it had undergone tribulation, it was also taken to the starry sky.
Having a precedent, naturally, Chen Yuan didn’t hesitate.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Initially, the tribulation clouds shrouded the hidden lightning deep within, but it didn’t take more than an hour before terrifying thunder dragons began rolling within the tribulation clouds.
The tribulation lightning intertwined, faintly spreading far and wide.
Emitting terrifying force, each strike hit the Emperor Slaughter Saber, with each strike retraining its body, and with each strike, it grew stronger.
Thunder tribulation is destruction, but it is also rebirth.
The Emperor Slaughter Saber fearlessly embraced it all, and its aura gradually transformed, becoming increasingly terrifying, as a black dragon soul roiled endlessly, becoming increasingly dreadful in its spiritual essence.
"Hopefully, you won’t disappoint me."
Chen Yuan stood far from the tribulation clouds, calmly observing the scene.
Crossing the starry sky tribulation.....
The tribulation of Emperor Slaughter did inspire him in some ways; back when undergoing the Yang God tribulation, if conducted in the starry sky, might it have been even more terrifying?
Inside the boundary domain, it is the Heavenly Dao that governs all.
So what is this starry sky?
Heavenly Dao, or.... the Great Dao?
After a full day passed, the tribulation clouds in the starry sky also seemed to reach their limit, gradually beginning to dissipate.... Chen Yuan’s eyes brightened, watching expectantly forward.
"Roar!"
A loud dragon roar echoed, a black dragon swept through the starry sky with a terrifying aura, pressing straight towards Chen Yuan, approaching about ten feet in front of him.
The black dragon dispersed, replaced by a slightly different long saber.
Adorned with mysterious patterns, as if representing the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.
"From today on, you will be called the Human Emperor Saber."
Chen Yuan gripped the long saber, speaking softly.
Now he is akin to an emperor, and in the future, he will become the Human Emperor. The name Emperor Slaughter is no longer suitable.
"Buzz buzz...."
The Human Emperor Saber trembled, accepting this new name.
