What is that?
It was a strange coolness, as if the moment the sun was blocked, that chill swept over everyone!
The surrounding elements hadn't changed, and with the sun blocked, the temperature couldn't have dropped so quickly. The chill that everyone felt wasn't physical, but rather a psychological one!
That makes sense; anyone who saw such terrifying eyes staring into the sky would probably feel their blood run cold.
This included the emperor at that time.
The disappearance of the sun in the sky was not a solar eclipse, but something was blocking it, because everyone could see a pair of eyes the size of the moon, but many times more terrifying than the moon itself.
The clear lines on the orange-yellow pupils are easily recognizable to anyone with a modicum of common sense as the eyes of a snake!
A pair of snake eyes that rival the sun and moon? A snake capable of blocking out the sun?
A body floating amidst a sky full of dark clouds—who wouldn't tremble at the sight?
The emperor stared at Kagura with disbelief. The monster was clearly not one that should exist in this era. Just one look from it had completely frozen him in place. His blood ran cold. This had nothing to do with status; it was simply a difference in power.
It was just like when I was two or three years old and encountered that terrifying demon.
It was a crushing sense of powerlessness. Since he gained power, he had never encountered such a feeling of powerlessness. Even when the Black Queen's power was far stronger than his, and he was still in the dormant period, he did not feel that the other party was so unattainable. But the power in front of him was indeed unattainable!
It could even be said that this was a level above what he faced when confronting those so-called guild Venerable in the Void Illusion!
Is such a thing even possible right now?
Kagura gazed at the sky, her face somewhat pale. Though she wore a smile, even she was struggling to maintain her composure amidst this terrifying pressure.
It certainly didn't disappoint me.
"What did His Majesty say?" Kagura asked the emperor again.
"I don't believe it!" The emperor's face was pale. He was already seriously injured and was only holding on by his last breath. If it weren't for his strong will, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand up at this moment!
"What does Your Majesty not believe in?" Kagura asked with a smile.
"I don't believe it can come down!" The emperor stared at Kagura, veins bulging on his forehead, muscles tense, clearly in a state of extreme tension. At this moment, all the soldiers' eyes were vacant, obviously having lost their ability to fight.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
Those gathered here now are the world's most elite military forces, and it is no exaggeration to say that they possess the power to slay gods.
But when faced with that monster in the sky, in just one encounter, without anyone else doing anything, the entire army lost its ability and became like lambs to the slaughter!
He kept getting stronger in order to free the human race from the so-called enslavement of demons. He thought he had already made progress, but seeing this scene now, he couldn't help but be shaken again. He was still too insignificant and knew too little. He had no idea what kind of power existed on the dome. Although he had made preparations and would not back down no matter how terrifying it was, when he actually saw it, a sense of despair still covered his heart.
Is this the power from the dome above?
Is this the hurdle that humanity must overcome to break free from slavery?
"Is His Majesty afraid?"
"Yes!" The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and he made no attempt to hide his fear. "I was afraid. I knew the gap would be large, but I never imagined it would be this big!"
The difference in power was incredibly obvious, like a speck of dust looking up at the starry sky!
Kagura gave the emperor a deep look. She wasn't afraid of arrogant people, but she was afraid of people like him who could recognize the gap between themselves and others yet still dared to stand tall and proud. The chosen one of destiny in this world was indeed not simple. If he wasn't eliminated as soon as possible, he would definitely cause endless trouble in the future!
"No matter how big the gap is, I cannot back down!" The emperor walked step by step to the front of the army, each step heavy as if he were carrying a mountain on his shoulders!
"I don't believe you can command that monster, nor do I believe it can come down. If it could, you wouldn't need to resort to these petty tricks. Even if it could—" The emperor suddenly looked up at the terrifying eyes in the sky—" "I will not back down!"
An astonishing aura once again rose from the swaying man, even Kagura was shocked. This guy... can he still possess such an aura at this level?
She knew very well that this human emperor had reached his limit. Maintaining his sanity under the pressure of that thing in the sky was already remarkable, but judging from his current aura, she even had a feeling that this man... could still fight!
Is it just an illusion?
Under Zhu Jiuyin's watchful gaze, could this guy still possibly fight?
Kagura glanced at the mark on her arm, which was her contract mark. With this mark, she would shrink to the extreme when Zhu Jiuyin looked at her. Even so, she could feel that her condition was greatly affected, and she could not exert at least 50% of her strength.
This was her last trump card. After everyone had been exhausted to a certain extent, the arrival of Zhu Jiuyin was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
But it seems that this human emperor is unaffected?
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
A familiar, loud voice suddenly broke the eerie silence. Kagura looked in the direction of the voice, her pupils shrinking slightly.
Chen Qing
The head guard actually failed to kill Chen Qing; this kid is truly extraordinary.
The emperor also looked over. Chen Qing seemed somewhat different from before. It was hard to say exactly how, but it felt like he had been completely refreshed.
"No matter how many methods Your Majesty has used, based on just that one sentence, Your Majesty deserves your title." Chen Qing bowed respectfully.
This was perhaps the most sincere courteous gesture he ever showed to his subjects. This emperor was cunning and ruthless, but as a ruler, he demonstrated a sense of responsibility and deserved the title of emperor.
Chen Qing's evaluation seemed to be made from an equal perspective, yet the emperor showed no displeasure whatsoever, nor did he feel any sense of unease. Unconsciously, he had come to regard Chen Qing as an equal.
You could even say that getting his approval would bring some pleasure.
"I knew you wouldn't lose so easily."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty," Chen Qing said with a smile. Looking at the man before him, he felt a mix of emotions. This man gave him the same feeling; no matter how powerful his opponent was, he didn't think this man would lose.
"I didn't expect it," Kagura's voice rang out untimely, "That you'd make it out alive."
"I am ashamed that I failed to catch the eye of Senior Kagura." Chen Qing looked at the other party, then glanced at the terrifying eyes in the sky, and nodded, " Zhu Jiuyin, I see. Senior's trump card is truly unexpected!"
The most ferocious of the Earthly Fiends: Zhu Jiuyin, the most Yin spirit of Heaven and Earth, possesses captivating eyes. This supernatural power allows this monster to do terrifying things even if it cannot descend to this world.
For example, right now, the world's most advanced military force is completely useless here!
He roughly understood the other party's scheme. Once Zhu Jiuyin's twin pupils appeared, no matter how much military force the other parties prepared, it would be useless. No wonder she wasn't worried at all about the final confrontation. In theory, the disorganized demons of the Heavenly Python Palace could not possibly withstand the powerful army of a regular force. Even if they brought more, they could not dominate the situation. And an individual's strength would be greatly limited in the face of an army.
He was initially curious as well: what would Kagura, without a regular army, rely on to fight against other forces?
So this is what it is all about.
Once Zhu Jiuyin appeared, the armies of all factions became useless. However, with a clever plan that caused others to be more exhausted, her formidable personal abilities would come into play when the armies were rendered ineffective and the battle turned into individual combat.
Moreover, if Chen Qing was not mistaken, that guy should have the mark of Zhu Jiuyin on him, which would make him feel less pressure than everyone else.
He's likely the strongest person here, and with this added difference, who could possibly defeat him?
