Chapter 5169 Human Emperor Puppet

While Long Chen used the power of the eight stars, it caused his astral energy to go into disarray midway. If he hadn’t unleashed all that energy into Evilmoon at the last moment, he would have exploded.

Long Chen hadn’t expected this issue and couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause. Although he managed to release the energy at the last moment, it still took an immense toll on him, leaving him feeling drained.

Bai Yingxue and the others hastily supported him. Though Long Chen looked extremely weak in this state, he was practically an unrivaled existence in their eyes.

After all, his opponent was a half-step Emperor who had barged into the Human Emperor realm. Han Qianye had the ability to crush them all with a single finger.

Given this, Long Chen’s exhaustion was to be expected. If he had remained active after such a feat, they would have thought they were seeing a ghost.

Long Chen was held up by Bai Yingxue and Feng You. When he saw Mo Nian run off, he called out, “Mo Nian, what are you doing?!”

Mo Nian didn’t answer. He glanced around briefly before starting to dig into the ground. He soon pulled out a barely conscious figure—Lu Fan. Despite being severely injured and on the brink of death, Lu Fan’s survival showed that a son of Brahma was truly powerful, to be able to survive such a terrifying blow.

“Perhaps this person has value as a hostage,” said Mo Nian, running back with him.

“Hurry up!” shouted Long Chen.

They got onto the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, and Bai Yingxuan instantly activated it.

BOOM!

At this moment, terrifying Emperor might unfurled, causing Long Chen’s expression to change.

“We’re out of time,” said Long Chen.

The void exploded, revealing one figure after another. One of the elders wore identical robes to Han Qianye and emitted a terrifying pressure that instantly locked down Long Chen and the others.

“What the hell happened here?!” this elder shouted.

The elder’s gaze swept over the ruins where the glorious Glacial Heaven City once stood, his shock and fury indescribable. His eyes locked onto Long Chen and the others.

The elder instantly recognized Long Chen and roared, “Die!”

An enormous hand even bigger than the white dragon race’s Ten Thousand Dragon Nest slammed down, twisting heaven and earth.

“Are we going to die here?” asked Bai Yingxuan, staring in despair. She wasn’t afraid of death, but Long Chen and the others were still young and had limitless potential. It was sad to see them perish now.

Long Chen’s demeanor was calm in the face of the elder’s wrath. He turned to Mo Nian, who looked torn.

“Mo Nian, your chance has come!” exclaimed Long Chen.

Gritting his teeth, Mo Nian suddenly bit his thumb. When his blood flowed out, it transformed into a rune that he slammed on the ground. A web-like diagram spread from that rune, instantly covering the land. After that, the land was shaking and with an explosive sound, a giant coffin came flying out of the ground.

BANG!

The coffin’s lid flew open, and an enormous, withered lifeform came out, exuding vast Emperor might. Bai Yingxue and the others’ jaws dropped.

This lifeform had blood-colored hair and looked ferocious. Despite its lack of vitality, it emitted terrifying Emperor might. Though long dead, it had been awakened by Mo Nian to walk the world once more.

The massive hand descending upon them was instantly shattered by the corpse’s aura, dispersing into motes of light.

“I knew that you still had a trump card,” Long Chen chuckled mischievously.

Looking distressed, Mo Nian cried. “I’ve really been scammed by you this time. That is an immemorial expert I found in that land. I could have refined it into a puppet, but now it’s going to be a one-time-use item.”

Within the tomb, Mo Nian had discovered a corpse with faint discarnate soul fluctuations. Using the Limitless Palace’s secret art and a substantial amount of blood soul energy, he had managed to awaken it.

Originally, Mo Nian had planned to buy special materials to refine the corpse, equipping it and activating its core runes. After all, this was the corpse of a Human Emperor. Though he didn’t know its origins, he was aware that it had significant potential for improvement. With the right resources and time, he was confident he could restore it to about seventy percent of its peak state. However, now it only possessed twenty percent of its original power.

Most importantly, awakening it now required igniting its discarnate soul, which meant it would quickly be exhausted and become a normal corpse again. For someone as showy as Mo Nian, the thought of using it up in a single battle, rather than preserving it for future display, was difficult to accept.

However, with another half-step Emperor like Han Qianye appearing, they no longer had the ability to resist. Even if Mo Nian was unwilling, he had no choice but to bring his trump card out.

Mo Nian’s heart was dripping blood now that he had summoned this lifeform. There was no way to describe this pain with words. He gave this lifeform his sword, the Raging Yang Sword. Once it was holding this sword, Mo Nian’s hand seals changed.

Buzz.

The lifeform’s blank eyes suddenly lit up, and Mo Nian roared, “Slaughter these bastards!”

Mo Nian hated these people for forcing him to use up this trump card. He had painstakingly subdued this lifeform, only to expend it in a single battle.

The lifeform let out a thunderous roar as countless runes ignited across its body, releasing the overwhelming aura of a Human Emperor.

Raising its sword toward the heavens, the lifeform brought it crashing down, aiming directly at the elder and covering all the newcomers with the sword’s immense might.

The elder was horrified. Like Han Qianye, he was only a half-step Human Emperor. He had rushed over after sensing the disturbances here, but he hadn’t anticipated Mo Nian summoning a Human Emperor lifeform.

The lifeform immediately ignited its power, unleashing all its energy in one attack.

In response, the elder roared and summoned his manifestation. Not daring to hold back, he summoned a pill furnace in his hand.

At the same time, the elders behind him also poured their energy into the pill furnace. It then rumbled, and shot toward the lifeform’s sword.

BOOM!

This was truly a world-shaking exchange. The void flickered, and the elders hacked up blood. As they were sent flying, the pill furnace vanished beyond the horizon.

“Brahma Possession!” the elder roared, invoking the image of Lord Brahma behind him. Without even recalling his pill furnace, he drew his sword and charged at the lifeform again.

But to his shock, the lifeform didn’t even attempt to block or dodge. It was cut cleanly in two.

“Wait...” The elder’s expression changed as he realized that the lifeform had long since lost any trace of life. In that moment of realization, he also noticed that the white dragon race’s Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had already disappeared from sight.

“Bastards!” The elder let out a furious roar, immediately summoning everyone to give chase.
