It was that human.
In that instant, both Bai Hua and the emperor, who had broken out of the World in the Painting, could only see each other.
Neither the formidable Four Saints Army nor the high priest whose abilities had surpassed the King Level were of any concern to the two.
The emperor knew that this was an absolutely terrifying monster capable of overthrowing all races, and if he didn't kill it today, he feared he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
After all, nobody wants to be replaced while they're still alive and well, with no one around them seeing them, while someone else sits in their place, wields their power, and sleeps with their woman.
Bai Hua was also staring intently at the emperor.
From the moment it locked this person inside its World in the Painting, it had a feeling that the guy would definitely be able to get out.
Ancient genetic memory tells it that in any world, if someone appears who is favored by fate without any reason, then that person must be the chosen one of that world's destiny.
Each world in this starry sky is an enormous life form with a strong sense of foresight regarding external threats. These large life forms cannot defend themselves on their own and can only cultivate experts to resist external enemies through their own special methods.
The world is full of contradictions. It fears that it might nurture life forms that are too powerful and abandon itself to pursue the stars and beyond, yet it also fears that life within its own world is too weak and could be threatened by the outer universe.
Many young worlds are consumed by golems and turned into dead stars because they cannot grasp this balance.
This world is young and complex, but it has clearly realized the danger and has bestowed its absolute fortune upon this human, which is why it feels so threatened.
This guy must die!
Bai Hua stared intently at the other party. This guy hadn't grown up yet. Once he died, this world would have to spend countless hours finding and nurturing a second one, and Bai Hua wouldn't give him that time. In other words, once this guy died, this world would be without his henchmen.
Both sides were determined to kill, reaching their peak in an instant, their killing intent solidifying and causing the Four Saints Army around them to instinctively retreat.
Despite their resolute killing intent, neither of them rushed to attack; instead, they stood face to face, observing each other.
Both of them sensed that the outcome would hinge on a single move!
The emperor was well aware of his physical condition. His words to frighten the King of Qin of Qin were not empty talk, nor were they without reservation. He truly only had one bullet left. Although his elder sister's Yin Crow power sealed his King Level strength, preventing him from suffocating, it also placed a great burden on his internal organs. Given the circumstances, if the Four Saints Army hadn't actively sought trouble, they would have chosen to temporarily withdraw.
After all, obtaining the Body of the Vermilion Bird was already a huge achievement, and with the Mother and Child Ghosts Temple, they didn't need to fight for this temporary victory.
Now that he's here, if this monster didn't also intend to kill him, he truly wouldn't have risked this final push.
Bai Hua thought so too. He could see the human's condition very clearly; his body was on the verge of collapse. But he couldn't understand why such a person could still possess such a powerful aura and a sense of threat that he couldn't ignore.
He possesses the World in the Painting, and his physical strength is nearly limitless. In fact, as long as he temporarily leaves this place and avoids direct confrontation with his opponent, he can break through to the King Level in a quarter of an hour at most. When he returns, apart from the woman in the Black Tortoise Palace who can use Two Aspects, no one will be his match.
But it knew very well that it couldn't escape.
The moment the man emerged from the World in the Painting, he had already locked it in place. If it retreated even half an inch, it would die!
"Human," Bai Hua said, "If you leave today, I will spare your life and will not make things difficult for you."
Everyone was stunned, not expecting that this monster, after confronting the other party for so long, would actually say such conciliatory words.
The emperor looked at the other party. The proposal was actually very tempting. Retreating now would be an excellent result for his forces. After all, even if he won now, he would be exhausted. Whether his elder sister could lead the entire army to a safe retreat was a big question.
If he could preserve his last bit of strength, even that treacherous woman Kagura wouldn't easily attack him.
But what is tempting is actually bait.
The emperor took a deep breath, his entire chest cavity was covered by golden flames, and his whole body almost completely Fusion with the Golden Crow Flame. When he opened his eyes again, his aura and the flames were almost completely Fusion.
Although my body was under severe strain at this time, my spirit and condition were the best I had ever been in my life.
"You're unwilling?" Bai Hua asked coldly.
The emperor remained silent, but his rising momentum spoke volumes.
At this moment, his momentum had reached its peak. If he agreed to the other party's request now, even a slight lapse in his mindset would cause the momentum he had painstakingly built up to collapse.
Would he believe a monster would keep its promise?
He would never have entrusted his fate to an outsider like the King of Qin before, and he would certainly not entrust it to a monster now.
Whether the other party's proposal is true or false, only one of them can survive today!
"Since you wish, then I will grant your wish." Bai Hua had no more intention of beating around the bush. Immediately, countless spiritual energies came out of thin air, and the surrounding space seemed to melt. Countless black inks, like mountains and rivers, poured into its body, and everything around it became like an ancient painting under the influence of these inks!
"Retreat!"
The High Priest did not hesitate to order the Four Saints Army to retreat. He did not want to get involved in the fight between these two monsters. He had seen clearly how the Martial Priest died.
"They've arrived."
Chen Qing stared intently at the situation. At the moment when both of their auras reached their peak, Chen Qing sensed that this ultimate battle had begun.
The emperor was the first to strike.
This man's power is expansive and unrestrained. Even though he has scheming and cunning, and is a true tyrant, his strength is majestic and imposing. He never hesitates or beats around the bush. He seems to deal with any strange thing with a single punch. He is the kind of person who can break through all laws with sheer force.
As expected of the human protagonist chosen by the world, he is truly remarkable, but...
"That is..." Ziyue, standing beside him, paled upon seeing the emperor's powerful aura, for she witnessed an even more unbelievable scene.
Beside Bai Hua, black ink smeared, suddenly turning everything around into black and white. All elemental forces seemed to be drawn back by a more primal force at this moment, transforming into a circle.
She had seen that power before!
A single point forms the two aspects of Yin and Yang, from which the Four Symbols are born, forming the Eight Trigrams, and from which all things are derived!
" Two Aspects!!"
Ziyue couldn't help but ask, "How does it know this?"
"Well," Chen Qing smiled wryly. Actually, he had guessed it beforehand, but he thought it was the worst-case scenario. He didn't expect it to still happen.
"Its ability is to copy what it sees. If it can draw it in the World in the Painting, it can use it. As it turns out, its talent is good enough; it drew Two Aspects after only seeing it once."
Ziyue: "."
How much power did you give this monster that I don't know about?
"That emperor?"
"We lost." Chen Qing said without hesitation, "Pure brute force can't break through the Two Aspects!"
