Star Gate

In the distance.

Long Zhan was aware that his position had been exposed. He walked out of the boundless darkness, followed by four eighth ranks of Black Tiger, Feng Yan, Red Moon, and Qingqiu. That made for five total eighth ranks.

The other four possessed run-of-the-mill battle strength, whereas Long Zhan was exceedingly formidable.

Countless cultivators observing the battle from the shadows started when the five powerhouses appeared on the scene. They’d thought that Reincarnation might not have an answer for Li Hao killing Hornet with one blow, but the appearance of these chaos beasts changed how things stood once more.

And Li Hao did not seem to be nervous.

He simply looked at the chaos beasts and at Long Zhan in particular. Rays of golden light surfaced in his eyes and he smiled at the dragon.

“You and I share a grudge,” the young man suddenly said. “It’s a better idea for Fellow Daoist Long Zhan to just observe the battle. If you insist on making trouble and end up drawing out people that we cannot speak of, there won’t be anything in it for either you or me!”

Long Zhan’s heart skipped a beat! He looked wordlessly at the young man.

Li Hao stood unmoving in the same spot, but the spirit of his aura rose up high like a sovereign overseeing his territory. There was even a ripple that extended toward Long Zhan.

A massive dragon rose around the chaos beast. When it connected with Li Hao’s aura spirit, just for a moment, the dragon could see... a passageway!

One that led to the four regions!

Long Zhan shook inwardly and looked at Li Hao again. The young man was noncommittal as ever and didn’t say a word as he looked back at the dragon.

You’re an idiot, so we don’t need to talk about this. If you’re smart, you would know that a fight between us... might lure out certain things.

You can’t afford the full destruction of time.

Long Zhan didn’t respond. He simply looked at Li Hao. The young man looked back at him, grinned abruptly, then ignored the dragon.

Just try it if you want to get involved.

He didn’t want to bring those things out of hiding because the situation might become really dicey. But if Long Zhan insisted... then... the circumstances were out of Li Hao’s control.

The young man ignored the chaos beast. He’d just wanted to intimidate Long Zhan for a bit, but an overlord like Long Zhan might not be affected by what he said.

“Kill!” Li Hao growled. There was no need to say anything else.

His sword flashed through the air, illuminating the heavens!

“Human King, this junior has killed a monster spirit first,” Li Hao’s voice rang out over the premises. “I am the trailblazer. The Human King is skilled at battle and adept at overcoming adversity. This junior would like to see that too today!”

......

New Martial.

The Human King seethed at Li Hao’s words. He was being looked down on!

Skilled at overcoming adversity... Do you mean that I’m less than you??

You little bastard!

Fifteen eighth ranks were on the battlefield, as well as seventh ranks. Powerhouses filled the area around them and the Human King was suffering from attacks of even more eighth ranks. His opponents included the formidable Arctic Frost master.

A vicious glint gleamed out of the Human King’s eyes. He typically liked to let loose with insults as he fought. It was a rare sight today that he didn’t spare effort for that.

The man waved his long blade around with impressive momentum, but had a difficult time connecting with anyone. He stared down Arctic Frost to the point in which the latter started to feel prickles of fear.

“I’m giving you one last chance, Arctic Frost!” he shouted. “Piss off, now! You guys are really annoying me!”

Arctic Frost glared back at the man. Although his side had lost an eighth rank, there were fifteen of them left. What are you so cocky about, Human King?? You have only five thousand dao rules. I have the same too!

I’m not any weaker than you, so what right do you have to be so arrogant?!

“It looks like... you think it’s not over until the fat lady sings!” raged the Human King. The supreme raised an eyebrow at his tone.

Fang Ping was fine when he wasn’t angry. But once he was, he threw all caution to the wind. He easily lost his cool when fighting erupted and wouldn’t spare a moment of thought for the consequences.

Supreme Zhang was just about to say something when an enraged offensive from an eighth rank cut him off. He immediately lost interest in saying anything.

The furious Human King set his jaw and roared, “Blow the shit out of them!”

An incredible sight developed as soon as he finished speaking.

Many New Martial seventh ranks, even the Exalted Blood Emperor and Sword Sovereign, looked on with some resignation and helplessness. They wanted to complain... but could not, to their immense dejection.

Even lone wolf Li Zhu cursed to himself.

What other orders can you give apart from that?? What else do you know?! You suck! You aren’t concerned about anything other than your face, are you?

A million trains of thought ran through Li Zhu’s mind, but New Martial exalted emperors mobilized as if they were fully onboard with the Human King’s command. The Sword Sovereign’s domain materialized and a myriad of swords shot out at the same time. Endless blood qi swelled.

The seventh ranks in the surroundings became one. New Martial was very well versed in the art of self detonation... They had so much experience that the people knew how to maximize the damage from these explosions.

They knew how to increase fatalities, how to ensure that the enemy could not run, how to choose their targets...

There was an entire system in place.

But after they were revived from self detonation, they would return to their previous straits of having insufficient yang qi. Even so, no one hesitated or thought twice.

It took only a heartbeat...

KABOOM!

A massive explosion and ball of light ripped through the void and worlds. Energy agitated and spread to all corners. Many seventh ranks, including those having broken through just a few days ago, quickly joined the task force of self detonation despite their curses.

Insults rose in a messy uproar!

“Fucking hell man!”

“Why are we using this tactic again??”

“You’ve gotta revive me first today!”

“I’ll beat the shit out of you if you show favoritism!”

“......” Shouts and curses abounded, even from those who were normally calm. They trusted the Human King so much that they thought they could return from destroying themselves. They would just lose a cultivation level at worst. Without yang qi, a return to the previous status of yesteryear would be the worst thing that could happen.

They were used to it.

This was New Martial. It was the faction’s most powerful, direct, and insane tactic.

And everyone was used to it.

RUMBLE!

Seventh ranks detonated on a whim, including even seventh ranks with dao domains such as the Sword Sovereign.

Intense explosions swept in all directions. Seventh ranks closest to the detonations were instantly pulverized. Their targets were the eighth ranks attacking the Human King. Fang Ping had been prepared for this tactic, so he’d been on guard as soon as he gave the order.

Meanwhile, the Arctic Frost master and the rest had hardly expected that a simple word would result in so many seventh ranks self detonating. None of those who’d sacrificed themselves seemed worried that the Human King wouldn’t bring them back.

Even if he could, these vaunted seventh ranks might have to face the same shortage of resources they had before when they returned.

None of those concerns seemed to have entered people’s minds.

Rumble!

Massive explosions heralded the crumbling of great dao. Bones shattered, blood qi surged, and detonations ripped through chaos energy. The entire chaos universe shook.

“......” Jaws dropped from more than a few. Even the charging Li Hao was affected by the explosions. He paused for a moment, gaping with wide eyes!

He knew that New Martial liked self detonation and that the Human King had even set up many traps all over the place. Silver Moon bore many traces of his work, particularly around the mines.

Self detonation seemed to be a common theme in New Martial—it was a sick phenomenon!

Never did Li Hao think that a simple provocation would result in so many New Martial exalted emperors blowing themselves up.

Rumble!!

The intense aftershocks shook the entire chaos. The Human King’s blade soundlessly projected worlds, illuminating the heavens and filling the void!

His blade descended!

An Arctic Frost eighth rank attacked the Human King alongside his world master. The former was blown to pieces and didn’t have time to react before doom came for him.

“How dare...” shouted the Arctic Frost master.

Boom!

Killing intent suffused the blade. The Human King was completely detached, like a demon from hell.

“New Martial annihilates world masters today,” his cold voice rang throughout the area. “I will have the heads of the Arctic Frost exalted emperors!”

He was a man of his word and always kept it.

“Listen up, Ole Zhang,” he instructed. “Ignore the others and focus on the three from Arctic Frost. You guys can self detonate too if they don’t die!”

Bam!

A loud impact arose from the descent of the blade. The Human King cut an Arctic Frost eighth rank into two. The detonation of many seventh ranks had only resulted in the death of one eighth rank and injuries to several others.

But at this time, color drained from the faces of the other exalted emperors.

The supreme, Ash Emperor, and Sun God didn’t hesitate before throwing themselves at the remaining Arctic Frost exalted emperor. Even the normally coolly composed supreme, prone to executing complicated schemes, roared, “Kill him! Ignore everyone else. Anyone who is still alive is to attack this one!”

Their target shook in his shoes! He was as pale as a sheet. The other eighth ranks around him were also completely terrified. This was utterly savage!

So what if they had the strength in numbers??

The five eighth ranks didn’t care about anything else or their own injuries. They only had one goal—to kill the Arctic Frost exalted emperors even if that resulted in their own deaths!

The Human King waved his sword around and ignored defense. The other eighth ranks attacking him might as well not exist. He brought it down on the Arctic Frost master, hacking wildly through the void like he was possessed.

He didn’t care that others were leaving marks on his body. He was going to split apart the Arctic Frost master if it took everything he had!

Such was to be the New Martial Human King!
