Chapter 502 -501: Arriving in Person at North Spirit

As the willpower of his myriad subjects converged, Emperor Tang’s aura grew stronger. He struck out with a great hand, causing the Kunpeng Nether Sea to churn and sending the Kunpeng flying.

However, although the Kunpeng was sent flying, it was not injured.

The Kunpeng’s defense was far too strong; it was not something an ordinary person could easily injure.

Seeing this, Emperor Tang’s Dharma Body frowned slightly. ‘It’s a shame my true body hasn’t arrived. If it were here, my combat power would be much greater.’

“Heh heh, Emperor Tang, it won’t be so easy for this Dharma Body of yours to defeat my Kunpeng Corpse!” In the distance, Kun Hai smirked savagely.

The Kunpeng Corpse flapped its wings, once again erupting with an astonishing aura as it swept toward Emperor Tang’s Dharma Body.

Far away, Emperor Tang’s true body was also growing anxious.

‘I shall merge with the heavens!’ Emperor Tang murmured. He was continuously communing with the Emperor’s Dragon Platform, intending to use this Divine Artifact to connect with heaven and earth and accelerate his flight speed.

WHOOSH!

Immediately, the Flying Chariot’s speed increased.

Ling Fei and the others were also extremely anxious.

The Kunpeng Corpse’s aura was overwhelming. Even though they were only sensing its presence through the Holy Decree, their hearts trembled in fear.

Moreover, it seemed Kun Hai wasn’t even using his full strength; he was merely stalling Emperor Tang.

“Faster, faster, get to the North Spirit Mountain Range!” The cultivators on the Commander’s Platform were all filled with anxiety.

They feared Emperor Tang’s Dharma Body wouldn’t be able to hold on, allowing the Kunpeng to break the Northern Spirit Seal.

Finally, after half a day, Emperor Tang’s Flying Chariot, carrying the Commander’s Platform, appeared in the North Spirit Mountain Range.

“Emperor Tang’s true body is here!”

“Behind him is the Commander’s Platform, carrying many of the Southern Wilderness’s strongest experts!”

When Emperor Tang’s true body arrived at the North Spirit Ruins, the eyes of the Southern Wilderness People burned with passion, and they all felt their blood begin to boil.

Now that Emperor Tang had arrived, what kind of astonishing combat power would he unleash?

Would the Kunpeng Corpse be suppressed?

Everyone was filled with immense anticipation.

‘We finally made it.’ When the Flying Chariot stopped outside North Spirit Ancient City, the cultivators on the Commander’s Platform couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Ahead of them, Nether Qi roiled, transforming into a Nether Sea that completely shrouded North Spirit Ancient City and the North Spirit Platform.

There, Emperor Tang’s Dharma Body was battling the Kunpeng, and the shockwaves from their fight made the hearts of the cultivators on the Commander’s Platform pound in terror.

A battle of that magnitude was truly astonishing, far surpassing the clashes of Divine Mansion Realm experts, and even those of the ordinary Daoist Palace Realm.

As Emperor Tang approached, Kun Hai hovered in the distant sky. He cast a disdainful gaze in their direction, a savage and triumphant smile curling his lips.

Beiming Transformation Sea and the two experts from the Corpse Spirit Hall, however, wore expressions of deep apprehension.

It had taken so little time for Emperor Tang to fly from the Lingyun Sect. His speed was dumbfounding.

At the same time, Emperor Tang’s aura filled them with dread.

Ahead, Emperor Tang and the Empress sat upon the Dragon Throne. Behind them, a great banner inscribed with the words “Mandated by Heaven, Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny” fluttered in the wind.

Around Emperor Tang’s Flying Chariot, an intangible Momentum of Heaven and Earth seemed to be gathering.

This grand momentum was far beyond anything his Dharma Body possessed.

Light Patterns flickered on the Commander’s Platform, resembling coiling True Dragons. Hundreds of thousands of experts stood proudly upon it, their combined might forming an astonishing power that gathered in the air.

‘Thank goodness Senior Kun Hai is here!’ At that moment, terror bloomed in Beiming Transformation Sea’s heart.

If he had to face Emperor Tang alone, he would have died countless times by now.

“Emperor Tang, you’ve finally arrived!” Kun Hai, however, remained perfectly calm, an expression of complete confidence on his face. He stared directly at Emperor Tang as he spoke.

“You must be the member of the Kunpeng Race, Kun Hai?” Emperor Tang remained seated on his Dragon Throne, not bothering to rise. His disdainful gaze fixed on Kun Hai as he spoke.

“Indeed!” Kun Hai laughed. “I am a descendant of the Kunpeng Race. I have come to the Southern Wilderness to free our great ancestor. Heh heh, I must say, I never expected that this tiny Southern Wilderness, a mere backwater, could produce a figure like you. It’s quite a surprise!”

“As long as I am here, you can forget about freeing that old Kunpeng demon!” A glint flashed in Emperor Tang’s eyes. Then, with a mere thought, his Dharma Body transformed into a streak of Emperor’s Qi and flew into the space between his brows. Once the Dharma Body merged with him, Emperor Tang shot up from his Dragon Throne.

As Emperor Tang rose to his feet, golden light burst from his body. The Emperor’s Qi shot toward the heavens, just like a True Dragon taking flight.

He stood upon the Flying Chariot, yet his presence was so immense it felt as if he were holding up the heavens themselves.

An invisible pressure emanated from the Holy Decree, spreading in all directions. It instilled a deep reverence in the hearts of the Southern Wilderness People, as if the Celestial Emperor himself had descended upon the mortal world.

At this moment, Emperor Tang’s imperious gaze and peerless bearing created an unforgettable image.

“Emperor Tang! Emperor Tang!”

The Southern Wilderness People erupted in cheers, every one of them incomparably thrilled.

Seeing their heroic and vigorous emperor, they felt as if they were looking upon the very hope of the Southern Wilderness.

Emperor Tang stared straight ahead, his aura overwhelming.

Even Kun Hai’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Heh heh, Emperor Tang, your aura is indeed powerful. However, this Kunpeng Corpse of mine was an expert at the Quasi-Heaven-Reaching Realm when it was alive. Though it failed to become an emperor, it could still be called a king in this land. Even though it has been dead for many years, its Bloodline Power remains. With your Cultivation, how can you possibly contend with me!?” Kun Hai’s furrowed brow quickly smoothed out as he burst into wild and arrogant laughter.

He still had a great deal of confidence in the Kunpeng Corpse he had brought with him.

“I may be ordinary,” Emperor Tang’s voice boomed, his gaze imperious and his aura unstoppable. Transmitted through the Holy Decree, his words resonated in all directions. “But I have the support of my myriad subjects! When we are of one heart and one mind, who is there that we cannot defeat? People of the Southern Wilderness, hear my command! Today, I shall strike to execute this demon here and now. Will you all fight this battle with me?”

“Are you willing to fight by my side?” As his voice echoed, an image of Emperor Tang appeared in the sky. He was speaking to all his subjects.

“We are willing to fight by Your Majesty’s side!”

“We are willing to live and die with you!”

The Southern Wilderness erupted as its myriad people roared in unison.

At this moment, even the normally gentle common folk felt their blood boil as they shouted at the top of their lungs.

“Good!” Emperor Tang’s voice rang out once more, instructing the Southern Wilderness People on how they could fight alongside him. “You need only focus your minds on my name and my form to support me with your Supreme Telekinesis. With it, I shall gather the Power of All Living Beings, execute this Evil Demon, and protect our Southern Wilderness!”

‘Help His Majesty with Telekinesis?’

Many people were skeptical, but they focused their minds on Emperor Tang, their Willpower concentrating on the Holy Decree.

Before they knew it, the Telekinesis of countless people had gathered, causing the sky to bloom with a dazzling light that was both sacred and vast.

This was the Power of All Living Beings.

“Is this our power?” As the sacred and vast power unfurled, many of the people looked on in astonishment.

It was incredible. They had merely focused their minds, yet it had transformed into tangible power?

“Yes, just like that,” Emperor Tang said with a nod.

“Everyone,” Emperor Tang’s voice rang out again, filled with an infectious power, “this battle is not mine alone! It is the battle of every single person in the Southern Wilderness! As long as your passion has not cooled, you can all aid me with your will!” His words made everyone feel as if they were fighting the Evil Demon themselves, not just watching from the sidelines.

“So, we can help Emperor Tang like this!”

“In that case, we’re also contributing to the fight against the demon!” The Southern Wilderness was in an uproar as countless people responded to the call.

The common people were overjoyed, feeling for the first time that they could actually be useful in such a battle.

‘Gathering the Power of All Living Beings?’ On the Commander’s Platform, Ling Fei looked up. He could clearly sense a vast and mighty force gathering between heaven and earth.

His heart was stirred by massive waves.

‘If one could gather the Power of All Living Beings and take it into oneself, how astonishing would that be?’

‘After all, that was the power of billions of people!’

Only now did he finally understand what the Celestial Emperor’s Technique truly was!
