The Human Emperor

Chapter 1697: The Seal of Finality’s Prophecy!

Seeing the Tianfu Divine Lord vanish, the other men in black began to flee in various directions as if they had been issued a general pardon.

In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

In the estate, Wang Chong frowned. He cared little about the ordinary men in black. To the Celestial God Organization, this level of expert was just cannon fodder, and killing them would have little effect.

What truly surprised him was the reaction of the Tianfu Divine Lord. They had already spent a significant amount of time arranging things to deal with him, but before the outcome was decided, the Tianfu Divine Lord had called it quits and fled.

Swish! Swish!

As these thoughts passed through his mind, Wang Chong heard a sharp whistle in the air.

So that’s what was going on!

Wang Chong smiled in understanding, and he turned around and headed in the direction the two sharp whistles of air had come from.

“Chong-er, where is that scoundrel!?”

“Wang Chong, are you okay?”

Two familiar voices spoke into Wang Chong’s mind, and a moment later, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief appeared, heading toward his location like bolts of lightning.

“Master, Village Chief!”

Wang Chong gave a knowing smile as he welcomed the pair. While Wang Chong’s new ‘True World’ ability had played a part in the Tianfu Divine Lord’s sudden retreat, it also had to do with the arrival of two Subtle realm experts in the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief.

Awooo!

As the men in black withdrew, the barking and howling of dogs could be heard in the distance. In the darkness, lanterns began to blaze to life, and the thundering of hooves indicated that the soldiers of the City Guard were finally coming.

......

“Besides True Lord Yellow Dragon, the Celestial God Organization has such formidable experts?”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief stared in silent shock at each other after hearing from Wang Chong what had happened.

They knew of Wang Chong’s strength, and that there were probably very few in the world who could contend against him. Wang Chong had the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the Art of God and Demon Obliteration, and the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art, and even the ability to see into the world of energy.

But from Wang Chong’s account just now, he had apparently been powerless against that Tianfu Divine Lord from the organization of the men in black.

“I’ve never encountered such a foe before. My Psychic Energy was entirely unable to sense him, and even looking into the world of energy was pointless. Besides that, the Greater Void Step was completely insufficient in front of him!”

Wang Chong emotionally sighed. Now that he looked back at the battle, although the Tianfu Divine Lord had ultimately been frightened away, it had been a perilous battle throughout. If not for the unlocking of the golden seed, granting him the True World ability, Wang Chong would have been a corpse.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief turned pensive, not saying anything for a long time.

“As long as energy runs through their bodies, there’s no reason for you to not see them through the world of energy,” the Demonic Emperor Old Man finally said, his brows furrowed. “It seems like the Celestial God Organization already knows about the world of energy and has taken the appropriate countermeasures!”

The Celestial God Organization had existed for an extremely long time—an unbelievable amount of time, if the ruins found in Khorasan were anything to go by.

Given the time and its capabilities, it was completely possible for that organization to have interacted with the world of energy through some other method.

“This Celestial God Organization is already too powerful,” the Wushang Village Chief suddenly said. “Fortunately, this child has good fortune and was able to unlock the seed the Origin Immortal Lord left for him.”

Both of them knew about the golden seed the Origin Immortal Lord had given Wang Chong, as Wang Chong had not hidden it from them. But the two had never expected the seed to save Wang Chong’s life.

“This Celestial God Organization has immense power, and while you got lucky this time, this is far from over. Given their style, that Tianfu Divine Lord will be coming at you again. You cannot be careless!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man solemnly said.

“Your disciple understands!”

Wang Chong firmly nodded.

“In addition, the Village Chief and I will be going out on a journey, back to the northwest to investigate the background of that Celestial God Organization. The picture is already beginning to somewhat clear up. If we don’t take care of this problem, we’ll forever be in the passive position and subject to their sneak attacks. Rushing around here and there is no solution. Only by fully investigating their background can we develop a solution,” the Demonic Emperor Old Man said.

“Mm!”

The Wushang Village Chief nodded.

The three powerful bamboo hat men, the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals, True Lord Yellow Dragon, and then the extremely fast Tianfu Divine Lord—the Celestial God Organization seemed to have an endless number of experts. With such foes in the shadows, Wang Chong would never be able to rest easy, and this wasn’t even considering that the organization had already reached into the Imperial Court.

Wang Chong was astonished by these words, having never imagined that his master and the village chief had been investigating the Celestial God Organization for so long, and even making progress. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief quickly took their leave. Once they were gone, Wang Chong sat down and began to treat his wounds. While Wang Chong had emerged ‘victorious’ in his battle with the Tianfu Divine Lord, it had not been easily won.

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm energy and Sword Qi had dealt Wang Chong significant wounds, which could not be healed by the golden seed or the Stone of Destiny. Wang Chong could only rely on himself to slowly recover.

Time slowly passed, and the King of Foreign Lands Residence slowly calmed back down.

......

At the same time, to the northwest of the capital, far away from the Great Buddhist Temple and deep within the mountains, there was an old and abandoned temple. The temple was ridden with spider webs, and in the center of it was a black Buddha, its six arms open and posed in a cross-legged position.

Several figures stood in front of this black Buddha. Their leader had bright eyes that seemed to draw in starlight.

After being frightened away by the combined might of Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Wushang Village Chief, the Tianfu Divine Lord had not returned to the Great Buddhist Temple. Instead, he had come to this secret base.

The Tianfu Divine Lord stood solemnly in front of the black Buddha while the men in black around him still had panicked expressions, apparently unable to shake off their fear.

But when they looked at the Tianfu Divine Lord, they did not dare to say a word.

“Divine Lord, we...”

The bald monk hesitated. He was only the one who dared to speak at this time, but he was immediately interrupted by the Tianfu Divine Lord.

“Did you send the report?” the Tianfu Divine Lord said, his mind seemingly elsewhere.

The monk bowed and immediately replied, “It’s been sent! But there’s still been no reply. It seems that they are still doubtful about the seal!”

The monk couldn’t help but lower his voice when mentioning the seal. The thought of the golden mark on the Child of Destruction’s forehead still deeply unsettled the monk.

In their organization, the Seal of Finality was a major taboo. Many people had heard of those legends that had been passed on for thousands of years, but legends were just legends. No one had ever imagined that this nightmarish object would actually appear before them.

As a powerful existence that transcended all mortal organizations, even dynasties and empires, the organization was truly a god-like existence, and to say that they could annihilate the earth and overturn the heavens would still not fully describe the terror they could inflict.

Nevertheless, a legend of destruction and finality was passed on through the organization.

According to this legend, several thousand years in the future, a powerful force would come out of nowhere and bring a final destruction to the organization and all of its gods.

And this legend said that the symbol of this power that would end all gods was a golden seed.

The one who had made this prophecy was none other than the organization’s god of prophecy, the Origin Immortal Lord!

The legend said that when the seed appeared, it would be the beginning of the end. This was the reason for everyone’s panic.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

While the black-robed monk was in the middle of deep thought, he heard sharp whistles from around him. Before he could react, Southern Dipper Star Awls had flown through the air and struck the men in black around him.

These people dropped to the ground with eyes wide open, not even knowing how they had died.

“Divine Lord?!”

The monk raised his head in alarm and looked at the Tianfu Divine Lord.

“Today’s matter cannot be leaked, no matter what!”

At some point, the Tianfu Divine Lord had turned around and killed several dozen men in black. His face was devoid of emotion and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

The monk’s face froze, and then he understood. The matter of the Seal of Finality was of immense importance and would probably set off great waves in the organization. In doing this, the Tianfu Divine Lord clearly intended to lock the entire matter away.

“Your subordinate understands!”

The monk fearfully lowered his head.

Thwish!

Suddenly, a roiling black fog accompanied by a long shuttle-shaped object shrieked out of the northwestern sky.

“It’s here!”

The monk’s heart leapt in recognition. This was the high-level God Ghost Talisman used by the Celestial God Organization for sending messages. They had sent the report not too long ago, but the reply had already arrived.

The Tianfu Divine Lord immediately extended a hand and snatched the talisman out of the air.
