Chapter 1681: Showing His Hand

The Heavenly Dao has fallen.

Across the territories of the Nine Provinces… on every piece of land, spiritual energy suddenly became dense, and all things began to recover…

For seventy thousand years…

The Outer Heavenly Dao had siphoned away countless amounts of the Nine Provinces' Origin Power.

Now that it had vanished, all that Origin Power was returned to the Nine Provinces.

This caused the spiritual energy here to increase several times over in an instant!!

The many Peerless Experts nearby were astonished.

They felt the sudden surge of spiritual energy around them.

"This… this, what is this?!"

"The spiritual energy is skyrocketing! Even the Bottlenecks of our cultivation are loosening!"

"Has the suppression of the Heavenly Dao disappeared?!"

"No… it's still there, it's just loosened!!"

"…"

The fall of the Heavenly Dao brought about a series of chain reactions.

Among them… nearby, Zhao Wuji, Ancestor Xiong, Ancestor Que, and the Old Antiques of the Demon Race felt it most profoundly.

"The density of the spiritual energy… is almost reaching what it once was."

"Indeed… it's not much different from seventy thousand years ago."

"…"

Hearing their words, the surrounding experts were once again astonished!

Was the Outer Heavenly Dao truly obliterated?

Did Xiao Fan succeed?!

He…

He is too terrifying!

After the shock passed, the gazes of the many Peerless Experts fell collectively upon Xiao Fan.

Human Emperor?

Is he truly the Human Emperor?

Xiao Fan let out a long breath and looked around.

"I, Xiao Fan, am the Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces. Today, I announce to the world: the Nine Provinces are unified to fight together against the outside world."

Xiao Fan's voice was calm, yet it carried an overriding celestial majesty that vibrated in the ears of the experts.

He had shown his hand.

There was no longer any need to keep hiding.

Nearby…

Speculation was one thing, but hearing Xiao Fan admit it personally was another matter entirely.

"Wel… Welcome Your Majesty to the throne! We respectfully obey Your Majesty's decree!!"

Zhao Wuji was the most excited, dropping directly to both knees.

The following experts from the Tianji Sect all knelt on both knees, beyond excited.

"We respectfully obey Your Majesty's command!!"

Golden-Winged Roc Ancestor was equally excited and knelt on both knees!

Nearby…

The various Peerless Experts exchanged looks and knelt together in salutation.

"We respectfully obey Your Majesty's command!"

"We respectfully obey Your Majesty's command!!"

"We respectfully obey Your Majesty's command!!!"

"…"

Around them, on the side of the Human Race…

Ye Cang, Second Elder Lin Xuan, Yan Ping, Zheng Tianyuan, and others knelt one after another, their expressions respectful while their hearts were filled with shock.

The Yao Race.

Ancestor Yintiangou, the Gray Dragon-Crocodile Ancestor, Niu Zhan, Ancestor Hu Jiao, and other experts, as well as the Yao Race Old Antiques Ancestor Xiong and Ancestor Que, all knelt as well.

The Demon Race.

The Devil King, the Demon Venerable, the Demon Emperor, and the ancestors of many major Demon clans, as well as the Demon Race Old Antiques, all knelt.

Xiao Fan looked around… the immeasurable divine pearl on his wrist trembled slightly, as if resonating with this world.

A sound of auspiciousness appeared, permeating the land of the Nine Provinces…

Xiao Fan gazed into the distance toward the east… that was the direction of the Forbidden Land, the Undying Mountain.

He gave a low shout: "Get over here and see me!"

…

Countless millions of miles away.

The Undying Mountain.

The human emperor scepter had resided here for a long time.

At this moment, its body trembled slightly, creating a resonance with the world.

Without the suppression of the Outer Heavenly Dao… it had completely awakened its original sentience.

*Whoosh*

The human emperor scepter tore through the Void Realm and, in the next instant, appeared before Xiao Fan.

Back then, Xiao Fan had almost been screwed over by this broken thing.

The human emperor scepter shone with golden light; upon seeing Xiao Fan, it was extremely fearful, even pointing its head downward and shaking continuously, as if bowing in submission.

"Back then… you almost got me killed," Xiao Fan said coldly.

Upon hearing this…

The human emperor scepter trembled even more violently.

And below…

The Gray Dragon-Crocodile Ancestor, Ancestor Yintiangou, Niu Zhan, Ancestor Hu Jiao, Ancestor Five-Horned Red Leopard, the Ancient Dragon Elephant Patriarch, the Tuoshu Ancestor, and other experts' expressions changed drastically.

Was The Terror planning to take revenge?

This… if he still planned on seeking revenge!

Then they would be finished!

Xiao Fan was now the Human Emperor!

What could they possibly use to resist?!

These Peerless Experts were filled with fear and dread, their entire bodies shaking.

Similarly… the human emperor scepter was also shaking.

"Forget it, let the matter go. If you ever dare to turn on your master again, I will refine you into a literal shit-stirring stick!" Xiao Fan said coldly.

As soon as the words "shit-stirring stick" came out.

The originally oppressive atmosphere nearby eased up considerably…

It made the experts recall the time when Xiao Fan was trapped inside the Barrier and kept insulting the human emperor scepter, threatening to use it as a shit-stirring stick.

Xiao Fan reached out and grasped the human emperor scepter in his hand.

The golden light emitted by the scepter grew even more brilliant, and Xiao Fan instantly understood the scepter's power.

"This…"

Xiao Fan was astonished.

He had originally thought the human emperor scepter was some sort of ultimate weapon.

As it turned out…

It was actually a storage Magical Artifact!

However, the space it could contain inside was incredibly vast.

It could even hold mountains and great rivers inside!

The scepter trembled slightly… sending a Divine Thought in response.

"Not bad… I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise," Xiao Fan smiled.

Regarding the true use of the human emperor scepter, besides the fallen Human Emperor, no one in the Nine Provinces knew.
