Su Ming's pupils contracted slightly.
The Human Emperor?
He instinctively tightened his grip on the Human Emperor Token.
The heat grew increasingly intense, and the Human Emperor's aura became increasingly distinct.
It was not a lingering trace of his aura.
It was not an echo left in ancient ruins.
It was the aura of a living Human Emperor!
Su Ming's heart gave a sudden, violent thump.

Su Ming remained
