As soon as his true form appeared, the heavens and earth produced countless wonders, radiating brilliant light and divine colors that left the ordinary people below astonished and kneeling in worship.
Even the Four Sea Dragon Kings and many elders present could not help but feel a sense of awe. These dragon kings, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, showed only slight reverence towards the Human Emperor. Yet at this moment, they felt an overwhelming urge to bow down and worship.
Fortunately, their profound cultivation and strong will prevented them from succumbing to weakness; however, not everyone else shared such resolve.
The so-called invincible Jiao Clan Warriors, along with many soldiers from the Dragon-Snake Alliance, found themselves trembling and kneeling involuntarily.
Even Wang Long and the Human Emperor could sense that all living beings, all sentient and life-filled entities, were bowing under this divine might.
The deity laughed heartily, raising both arms high as if welcoming something, proclaiming loudly: "Do you see?! All beings of heaven and earth, everything under the sun is beneath my feet! Nothing can surpass my existence! I am the ruler of this world! Infinite! Eternal!"
After the deity's proclamation, Wang Long turned to Human Emperor with a wry smile and said, "I thought you were the biggest madman in the world; I didn't expect there to be someone even more insane here..."
Human Emperor laughed heartily in response: "Don't be hasty; he is just an outdated old man! This era is no longer his battlefield!"
The deity's expression changed, and he roared angrily: "You two should not be so arrogant! Just because you think you've seen the truth of the world, do you believe you can act as you wish? Can you completely disregard my existence?!"
"Don't get too flustered..." Wang Long replied calmly with a smile. "Since you have appeared here, and Human Emperor was able to open this Sky Gate, it can only indicate one thing..."
"I'm afraid this gateway has already escaped your control. I can even speculate that... perhaps that Supreme Dragon Emperor has transcended and ascended to another world?!"
"What?!" The deity's face finally changed dramatically as he stood stunned.
Human Emperor nodded: "That's right! It seems indeed so... Alas, this means I cannot gain the most powerful assistance from this legend! However, on the other hand, it is not necessarily a bad thing that this world can transcend."
"Well said!"
The three beings, standing at the pinnacle of all living things in this world, engaged in a conversation above the Cloud Sea in the Sky, and their words reached below, where everyone could hear them.
The East Sea Dragon King and others were immediately moved.
"That Supreme Dragon Emperor has actually broken the seal of the Land of Return to Ruins and reached the outside world?! What does this mean? This is an earth-shattering revelation!"
This meant that everything Wang Long had speculated was true! It indicated that beyond this world, there indeed existed another broader world!
At the same time, for Wang Long and the Human Emperor, it also meant that this so-called deity was indeed not omnipotent as they had guessed!
He had not completely blocked the path of transcendence for the Thirteen Dragon Emperors! At least, the Supreme Dragon Emperor had exceeded his expectations and ascended to a broader world!
"You two have had enough! Even if I have failed once before, I will not allow you two to repeat that mistake! It is impossible for you to escape this world and transcend my control! I will definitely kill you both here!"
The Human Emperor waved his hand and said, "Stop boasting! If you truly had such means, you would have acted long ago! Moreover, when the Supreme Dragon Emperor was able to break free from your control back then, why didn't you kill him?!"
"…It seems you two are quite well-informed about my matters! Indeed! I admit that I do not possess the power to kill others, but that does not mean I cannot kill you!"
The Human Emperor stared intently at the deity, his gaze showing no hint of fear. What intrigued Wang Long even more was that there was hardly any doubt in his expression!
On the contrary, at this moment, the Human Emperor appeared somewhat calm mixed with his pride.
"I am very eager to personally experience this so-called power; it would serve as a prelude before I extinguish you and become a new deity. I just hope you won't disappoint me!"
The deity turned to Wang Long: "I never expected you would ultimately stand with the Human Emperor. With your intelligence, you should know that you and your people had a chance to observe the world and reap benefits as Benefactors. And isn't your heart still regarding the Human Emperor as your ultimate enemy?"
"That isn't entirely incorrect," Wang Long replied. He had no intention of pretending to hide his fighting spirit from this deity; if such a trick could succeed, it would only indicate that the opponent's wisdom was unworthy of him teaming up with the Human Emperor. "However, Your Excellency's actions have compelled me to take this position, even if it may require sacrificing some long-term interests."
"So!" Before Wang Long could finish speaking, the deity proudly and domineeringly interrupted him, "You are all so shortsighted! Wang Long, you may have ambition, but it is of a completely different nature than that of the treacherous Human Emperor. Yet, because of this shortsightedness, you are burying your own race that could have lasted for thousands of years! Well, since one of you is arrogant and the other foolish, we have only one choice left! Come on, let me see how you plan to defeat me and plunge into this Gateway to the Abyss!"
The Human Emperor and Wang Long exchanged a knowing smile and stood silently, showing no intention of attacking.
"What’s wrong? Are you afraid?" the deity laughed coldly.
"Heh heh, why should we rush to attack? Why not let you come at us first?"
"My goal is to stop you. As long as you two do not step over this Gateway to the Abyss, my purpose will be fulfilled. You two don’t intend to stand here until the end of time, do you? In terms of lifespan, I possess an advantage that you cannot match! If you insist on this, then I am more than willing to accompany you!"
As soon as the words fell, the world experienced an anomaly!
Heaven was not heaven, and earth was not earth. Even the world of the Human Emperor's Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate completely vanished!
The entire sky was filled with flowing golden light and sacred chants. The deity's might spread across the land tenfold.
If before, the deity's presence was merely awe-inspiring and intimidating, causing submission in hearts filled with fear, even those with strong power and unwavering will like the Four Sea Dragon Kings could withstand it. Now, however, the high and mighty deity made it impossible for anyone to resist.
No!
It even extinguished any desire for resistance.
That dazzling light blinded the eyes and pierced the heart.
That melodious sacred hymn could be heard even with ears closed!
Yet there was no longer any trace of "power"; it was a "way" that dissolved your will to resist from the very root of your heart, making you not "want" to resist, and even forgetting what resistance itself meant!
As analyzed by Wang Long, this realm surpasses the skills that the Human Emperor used to "entice" Jiang Xue and Princess Lingli at the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate!
Heavenly power?
Divine power!
Faced with such terrifying might, not to mention the Four Sea Dragon Kings and other experts who had never imagined such a realm, even the Human Emperor and Wang Long felt a chill rising from the depths of their hearts!
When the Human Emperor first used the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate, although it was merely a prototype at that time, Wang Long already sensed a pressure that could contend with the entire chaos! Even with his own power and the assistance of Jiang Xue and Princess Lingli's Spiritual Awareness, he could not withstand it for long.
And now, how did this deity manage to cover the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate with just a wave of his hand?
The Dragon Hidden felt that if he did not clarify the causal implications within this matter, then even if he and the Human Emperor combined their five aggregates of Spiritual Awareness, they would still be unable to defeat this deity!
For the first time, the Human Emperor had to suppress his arrogance and focus on the deity.
"What now?" At this moment, having gained the upper hand, it seemed as if he had effortlessly neutralized the Human Emperor's greatest support.
However, even so, he did not continue to attack until he crushed the fighting spirit of the Human Emperor and Wang Long or "destroyed" their Spirit.
Instead, he adopted an attitude as if he wanted to elaborate at length.
This question from the deity seemed nonsensical and disjointed, yet the Human Emperor and Wang Long understood his meaning.
"Extraordinary means! No, even if you were to use such means in front of me now, I still wouldn't comprehend its principles, let alone how to counter it." Before today, such words of "submission" would have been absolutely impossible for someone as proud and confident as the Human Emperor to utter. But now he truly said it, and so naturally!
"You should not give up so easily." However, there was no hint of joy on the deity's face.
"That's right, because even if I can't understand the reasoning behind it, I know you can't truly make my Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate disappear; you can only use some means to 'hide' it and sever the connection between it and me. Am I wrong?"
The deity remained silent, but their gaze became even more piercing!
"And," the Human Emperor clasped his hands together, as if the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence that had been dispersed by the Brilliant Golden Light began to coalesce within them, "even if you only cover my Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate, I don't believe you wouldn't pay any price! Since that's the case, why should I bother thinking of ways to break it? All I need to do is injure you, making it impossible for you to maintain this deceptive trick, and naturally, I can reclaim my treasure! Lingxie Break!"
A seemingly ordinary arrow of true essence shot straight towards the deity, leaving the experts below utterly astonished!
This Human Emperor was truly reckless; did he really think he could break a deity with such an attack?
"Come on!" The deity laughed heartily, their laughter reverberating around Wang Long.
Facing such a simple move, they reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, splitting themselves into three forms to control the universe, preventing the Lingxie Break from reaching their true self.
However, Wang Long knew that the deity's caution was warranted. The Lingxie Break had already scattered as soon as the deity made a move, merging with his Spiritual Awareness to search for the deity's true form in the world—those three manifestations of the deity were all mere illusions!
