Chapter 1864: Chapter 882: I Am the Human Emperor!
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!!!"
....
Continuous tolling of nine bells resounded through the void, spreading in all directions, akin to a thunderclap, invoking an instinctive sense of awe towards a vast and majestic presence.
Everyone looked up to see the sky, once cloudless for thousands of miles, had suddenly undergone a tremendous change, with dazzling radiance manifesting between heaven and earth.
Then, nine True Dragons roared, overpowering the heavens and earth, seemingly exploding right in the ears.
"Has His Majesty arrived?"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, looking around, but found no sign of movement and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
However, amidst everyone’s anticipation, radiant beams abruptly appeared in the void between heaven and earth, forming a gigantic portal.
It seemed as if the void was torn apart at this moment.
Inspiring reverence.
Yet... that was merely a fleeting thought in everyone’s minds, and in the briefest of moments, an astonishing aura emerged from the portal, as if some presence was about to unveil itself.
Grand, majestic, terrifying — all insufficient to describe.
Chen Yuan appeared calm, stepping forward slowly, the gold dragon embroidered on his black dragon robe seemed to come alive, giving the distant vision of a massive black dragon coiling behind him.
Like the heavens collapsing, overshadowing all beneath, his tranquil gaze also looked toward the black torrent below, shining with a faint glow.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Both National Masters, Moluo, and Lu Chengfeng stepped forward simultaneously, bowing in ceremony.
Leading the salute were Jiang He, Ye Xiangnan, Ancestor Su Ming, several princes of different surnames, the Duke within the realms, the Immortal Sect Leader, nobles in civil and military positions, all proclaiming:
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Hundred thousand soldiers of the Black Dragon Army gazed at the figure in the void, feeling an unparalleled grandeur, holding spears in their left hands and fists in their right, pounding their right chest armors in unison.
The void trembled.
"Salutations, Your Majesty!"
"Salutations, Your Majesty!"
"Salutations, Your Majesty!"
The collective shout reverberated through the sky.
And then, the nearby crowd comprising civilians and Jianghu Martial Artists, numbering in the millions, like a dark torrent swept by the wind, began to bow gradually.
"Long live His Majesty!"
"Hail the Great Emperor!"
"Salutations, Your Majesty!"
"May His Majesty reign eternal!"
Various titles were uttered, not in unison, yet evoking an indescribable sensation, as if Chen Yuan, even with such a scene witnessed at his previous enthronement, still felt a surge of fervor deep within, as if the entire world belonged to him.
He is indeed the sovereign!
"Rise!"
Chen Yuan’s voice was like a gentle spring breeze, carrying an invisible force that lifted every bent figure, rendering them unable to resist this untraceable strength.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank..."
Countless voices responded in unison.
"Wooo~"
"Wooo~"
"Wooo~"
At both sides of the altar’s front, strong men lifted massive cow horns, taking deep breaths before blowing fiercely.
The sound was deep and resonant, the majestic horn’s call stirring a compelled submission!
Seemingly a summons from ancient times.
Under the horn’s echo, Chen Yuan walked step by step to the altar, turning to see the excitement etched on every face.
He was equally thrilled.
After all, once the ceremony to heaven concluded, officially recognized by the Heavenly Dao, he would become the Emperor of the Human Race, a goal he’s long pursued.
No complicated words or long-winded speeches, Chen Yuan raised his head, gazing towards the pyramid-like apex, filled with solemn and resolute expression.
Then, Chen Yuan steadily took a step forward, ascending the steps of the altar, the Divine Marks engraved above gradually illuminating, seemingly rejoicing in Chen Yuan’s achievement.
Every step on a stair sounded a massive resonant boom, echoing in everyone’s hearts.
Each step up, Chen Yuan’s spirit would momentarily daze.
The first tier appeared before Chen Yuan, recalling when he first arrived in this mysterious world, opening his eyes, remembering starting in the County Government of Ping’an County.
The second tier marked his fortunate slaying of Tie Shou, acquiring Qi Fortune and guidance from the Qi Fortune Altar, seizing the first opportunity from Cien Temple, obtaining the Vajra Glaze Body.
The third tier signified his slaying of Chen Ping’an, obtaining the second opportunity, acquiring the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl from the Huang Family, thoroughly purging impurities, elevating his talent to superior level.
The fourth tier....
The fifth tier....
Each step forward rendered past events like vivid imagery, seemingly experiencing them anew.
He couldn’t distinguish reality from illusion, simply following this trajectory, ascending ever higher.
Below, everyone silently spectated, watching the figure standing tall ascend, countless thrilled individuals barely dared to breathe deeply, fearing they might disrupt such a sacred scene.
Zhang Xuan hidden among the crowd, Wang Ping hidden among the crowd, watching Chen Yuan ascend as if scenes from before replayed again.
Chen Yuan’s pace on the steps was steady, as if prearranged, each step hit a node, without hesitation continuing to climb further.
