The Human Emperor

They were on the verge of being done for, and only then did the system come up with a solution.

Still, at least the system had some conscience.

[Host, the Human Emperor Way is about to activate. System progress: 10%]

Chen Tong had already started smiling, but now the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

"Wait, what's going on? Why is there a progress bar?"

He glanced at the people below and suddenly felt a little guilty.

[Host, activating the Human Emperor Way is part of your trial, so it will take some time.]

Chen Tong: "..."

Without another word, Chen Tong said, "Tian Peng, I'm coming over."

Then, the next moment, Chen Tong took out the Divine Brush.

As he swept his brush across the page, dozens of Golden Immortal-level dragons and phoenixes appeared.

Their terrifying presence filled the entire area.

But it was clearly not enough to impress anyone.

"Seriously? That's all the power you've got? I thought you'd be something special."

"Give it a rest. You'll hurt his pride."

"Does he think we're three-year-olds?"

The crowd sneered.

Wugu Star stepped forward and flicked his sleeve. The ink paintings were instantly wiped out.

But Chen Tong said, "Mountain Moving Technique."

The next moment, Tian Peng felt as if his body were no longer under his control.

He appeared directly in front of Chen Tong.

Chen Tong wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

"Let's watch the enemy from here for now."

[Human Emperor Way activation progress: 20%]

Chen Tong was starting to get impatient. This damn system was really getting into his head. If he had any choice, he wouldn't just sit here and wait for his doom.

Fortunately, as long as there was a river, he was the very definition of invincible.

"Benefactor, so we're just going to wait and see?"

"Mm. Just sit tight."

Chen Tong cleared his throat.

"But, Benefactor, I have to say, the Milky Way really is comfortable."

"Taking a bath in it is great."

Tian Peng couldn't help adding that.

Everyone present glared at them.

Queen Mother Niangniang formed a hand seal and said, "Draw!"

The water in the Jade Pool was drawn into the Milky Way.

The two rivers collided at once.

Explosive booms rang through the air.

Queen Mother Niangniang's face darkened. "You truly don't take Queen Mother of the West seriously."

At that moment, the weight of the two rivers reached tens of millions of pounds.

The terrifying pressure astonished everyone in the Heavenly Court.

"So this is Queen Mother of the West's power? Truly extraordinary. I'd never seen her make a move before, but now I see she's something else."

"Please calm down, Queen Mother of the West. We'll capture those two at once."

"Exactly. Once we've captured them, we'll strip them of their immortal bones and take away their cultivation."

The officials below had already begun voicing their plans.

Chen Tong was speechless. These people had their plans for him mapped out more clearly than he had his own life.

Chen Tong rolled over and said, "Not bad. This feels pretty good."

Queen Mother Niangniang saw this and grew suspicious. What was going on?

"Return!"

Queen Mother Niangniang formed a hand seal.

But neither river reacted.

In fact, she had completely lost control over them.

"Attack," Chen Tong said lazily.

The calm river surface suddenly rose into enormous waves.

The terrifying force weighed down on everyone's hearts.

The pressure was so immense that it left them all struggling to breathe.

"What's going on?"

"Isn't he only at the Golden Immortal level? Why does he feel so terrifying?"

"I've never seen a technique like this. It's truly shocking."

The people present whispered among themselves.

The Jade Emperor raised a hand. The lightning in the sky began to flicker.

He had actually summoned a tribulation.

"Damn, seriously? You're going all out right from the start?"

Chen Tong clicked his tongue.

Tian Peng was so frightened that he stammered, "Benefactor, I once had the misfortune of undergoing a tribulation. I nearly lost half my life."

Chen Tong raised an eyebrow. "That sounds rough."

"Benefactor, what do we do now?"

"Just sit tight. What else is there to do?"

Chen Tong rolled his eyes.

The sky filled with rolling thunder and dark clouds.

The lightning resembled giant pythons, flicking their forked tongues across the heavens.

The feeling that the world was about to end weighed on everyone's hearts.

Tian Peng stared wide-eyed and sucked in a sharp breath.

He had never seen anything like this.

The sea of lightning stretched for tens of millions of miles.

[Host, Human Emperor Way progress: 30%]

Chen Tong asked the system, "Give me sunglasses. This lightning's too bright."

The system produced two pairs of shutter shades.

Chen Tong put them on and said, "That's much better."

He handed a pair to Tian Peng. "Put these on."

Tian Peng didn't understand, but he put them on anyway.

The others present didn't dare look directly at the scene.

"I'd like to see what kind of demon or monster you are."

The Jade Emperor's voice was low.

Chen Tong clicked his tongue twice. The lightning's length and breadth were beyond imagination.

Each bolt looked powerful enough to kill a thousand Golden Immortals.

It could reduce him to ashes without breaking a sweat.

"As expected of the Jade Emperor. You really don't do things the usual way."

Chen Tong sighed.

But just as the lightning was about to descend,

Chen Tong uttered a single word: "Break!"

At his words, the waters of the Milky Way and the Jade Pool gathered into a mighty water dragon, which roared forward.

It shot straight into the sky.

No one present had time to react or understand what was happening.

Tian Peng hurriedly said, "Benefactor, that was so cool!"

Chen Tong nodded. "Damn right. I'm the coolest."

"That can't be right. What kind of power is this? Could he be some hidden expert?"

"Incredible. Truly incredible. Am I seeing things?"

"That power has already surpassed the Three Realms."

Everyone present looked grave, unable to believe that what they were seeing was real.

The Jade Emperor's gaze grew even darker.

The enormous water dragon slammed straight into the sea of lightning.

A powerful shock wave erupted at once.
