Chapter 110: Human Emperor (Part 8)

Princess Zhaoyang was enveloped in brilliant golden light, resembling a flawless goddess.

The golden radiance behind her transformed into countless golden feathers, slowly unfurling like innumerable wings of light.

A faint golden glow flickered between her brows, and she held high a seal that radiated boundless pressure—it was none other than the Human Emperor Seal.

The wind chimes tinkled softly, and the seal bloomed with even more dazzling brilliance in her palm.

With her appearance, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to boil, and countless free-floating points of light, as if drawn by some force, frantically converged toward her.

"Whoosh—"

The sound of the wind chimes changed abruptly; the Human Emperor Seal burst forth with blinding light, and a golden beam of light as thick as a giant pillar shot straight into the sky, piercing the clouds!

Immediately after, a gentle and warm golden light slowly shot out from the seal, landing precisely on Bai Fan.

That golden light was like the source of life; the moment it made contact, waves of vitality surged through Bai Fan's dilapidated Physical Body.

"Hum—"

The Human Emperor Seal hovered in mid-air, emitting dazzling light from its entire body, and then, as if drawn by some force, it slowly moved toward Bai Fan.

It gradually shrank, finally transforming into a golden stream of light that merged directly into Bai Fan's body.

Instantly, Bai Fan's cultivation level soared, reaching the Nascent Soul Mid Stage.

He felt the surging Spiritual Qi within his body, like a torrential river, endless and boundless.

"Void Cutting!"

Bai Fan let out a low shout; the demon blade in his hand flashed with dazzling light. The blade light was like a rainbow, instantly tearing through the air as he slashed fiercely toward the Demon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor.

Void Power gathered on the blade, like an invisible sharp edge, bearing down on the two.

"Retreat!"

The Ghost Emperor shouted, his expression changing drastically; he knew they could no longer withstand this.

However, they had no way out, so they hurriedly gathered their Spiritual Qi, attempting to block this fatal blow.

The blade light cut down ruthlessly, colliding with their defenses with a boom, instantly tearing through layer after layer of protection.

The immense power shook them, causing their Qi and blood to churn and blood to spray out wildly. Facing the impact head-on, both the Demon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor were in a sorry state.

"I don't believe you can defeat me, go to hell!" the Ghost Emperor roared, attempting to counterattack, but he was instantly suppressed by Bai Fan's Spiritual Qi, almost unable to resist.

"Void Tornado!"

An invisible whirlwind surged from his blade, carrying terrifying power as it swept toward the Demon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor.

The whirlwind raged, kicking up dust that filled the sky, engulfing them like a storm.

In the violent Void Tornado, the Demon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor felt unprecedented fear.

That power was like an invisible net that bound them tightly, each attack tearing at their Physical Body and Soul.

"Run!"

The Ghost Emperor shouted, his eyes full of terror; although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to turn and flee.

The two struggled to rush out of the Void Tornado, but the gale swept them up, causing them to lose their balance and crash headlong into the ground, their mouths full of dust, in a pathetic state.

Bai Fan seized the opportunity to press the attack, his demon blade following like a shadow, transforming into streaks of blade light that closely pressured the two.

The Void Tornado swept in rapidly from behind like a scythe of death, filling the two with terror.

"We cannot stay here any longer!"

The Demon Emperor was anxious; he knew if they didn't escape, they would be completely killed.

The two ran frantically, completely disregarding the image that a generation of powerhouses should maintain.

"Trying to run?"

Bai Fan tapped his toes lightly, utilizing Void Evasion to merge into the Void Realm, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the two.

"Die." Void sword shadows layered over one another, appearing suddenly, leaving them nowhere to hide.

"Ssh, ssh, ssh." Before the two could react, their bodies were instantly cut into countless pieces, blood splattering everywhere, a nauseating sight.

Only two true spirits remained, carrying their Nascent Souls, fleeing hastily into the distance.

The Ghost Emperor gritted his teeth; he was unwilling to be forced into such a desperate situation by a mere Core Formation brat.

But at this moment, he was helpless and could only struggle to leap forward.

The escape speed of a Nascent Soul was countless times faster than a Physical Body, and Bai Fan was gradually left behind.

After the two Nascent Souls rushed out of Liangjing, they felt that Bai Fan's speed had clearly slowed down a bit more, and they were overjoyed, fleeing even more frantically.

Bai Fan continuously used Void Evasion to pursue, but found that he could gradually no longer see their figures.

And at this moment, his cultivation had retreated to the Golden Core Peak.

"I cannot pursue any further; the Human Emperor Seal relies on the faith of all the citizens in the city. The further away, the weaker the effect."

Helpless, Bai Fan had to give up this excellent opportunity, slowly turning around to return in the direction of Liangjing.

Bai Fan returned to Liangjing, his heart a mixture of heaviness and exhaustion.

After the long chase, the Nascent Soul cultivation level had made him feel unprecedentedly powerful, but facing the escaped Demon Emperor and Ghost Emperor, he still felt unwilling.

He arrived on the warship, looking at the bustling crowd of citizens before him and the more than a thousand beautiful women on the deck.

A faint smile played on his lips, revealing the joy of victory.

"Brother Fan, you're back!" Princess Zhaoyang walked quickly to his side, her eyes full of tenderness.

Princess Mingxi, Princess Qiyue, and Princess Yaohua, the three accompanying attendants, stood quietly to the side, smiling.

"The citizens are looking forward to you, Bai Fan." Princess Zhaoyang pointed to one side, where many people had gathered, their gazes all fixed on Bai Fan.

"Human Emperor! Human Emperor!" A chorus of shouts erupted from the crowd, calling out their expectations.

They longed for a new leader, a monarch who could bring them peace and prosperity.

"I…"

Bai Fan's heart tightened; he understood what this expectation meant.

"Believe in yourself, Brother Fan. No one can do better than you!" Princess Zhaoyang cast an encouraging look.

Amidst the cheers and expectations, Bai Fan felt an unprecedented power.

He raised his head, looking at the faces of the citizens, took a deep breath, and walked slowly to the front of the deck.

"I will protect this land and become your new Human Emperor!"

A cheer erupted from the crowd, their eager gazes converging on him.

Princess Zhaoyang, Princess Mingxi, Princess Qiyue, and Princess Yaohua also nodded with smiles.

Bai Fan slowly raised the Human Emperor Seal in his hand, looked at the crowd, and announced loudly:

"From this day on, there shall be no more powerful nobles! The people shall be masters of their own destiny!"

This sentence exploded in the square like a thunderclap.

The citizens were stunned for a moment, then erupted into huge cheers, and the entire venue seemed to boil over.

People raised their hands high, tears of excitement welling up in their eyes.

Many elders could not help but kneel, muttering to themselves, "Finally waited for this day."

Princess Zhaoyang pursed her lips lightly, her eyes reflecting Bai Fan's figure, as if the whole world were shining upon him.

Princess Mingxi, Princess Qiyue, and Princess Yaohua also looked at each other, revealing smiles of relief.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, and the Imperial Guard troops rushed into the square, with the crowd parting to make a path.

The Imperial Guard commander, Ling Xiaotian, rode in the lead, dressed in black armor, his brows bearing a trace of exhaustion and helplessness.

He looked up at Bai Fan, who held the Human Emperor Seal, and sighed deeply, his expression complex.

His gaze swept over the surrounding ruins of the Imperial Court; he knew in his heart that the Imperial Court had been destroyed and the old era had already collapsed.

Now the trend was gone, and everything was a foregone conclusion.

Ling Xiaotian leaped from his horse and knelt heavily before Bai Fan, one knee touching the ground, his fist striking his chest:

"Subordinate Ling Xiaotian pays respects to the Human Emperor, Your Majesty!"
