Chapter 1498: The System With a Swagger of Confidence

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only a madman would provoke the Divine Emperor! Even in his twilight years, he was still the Divine Emperor with fearsome strength!

Yes, Heaven King Tai Hang had transformed into a towering Titan, but his strength did not change much at all. He was still a high-grade God King. Still, he had the audacity to provoke the Divine Emperor, making everyone present suck in a cold breath.

However…

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, and some people even tensed up when they thought of a possibility. If the Divine Emperor did lose, it would be a major event that would shake the Chaotic Universe. The Divine Emperor of the Xia Yi Divine Dynasty was defeated by the Heaven King of the Titan Divine Dynasty—such news would be enough to stun everyone.

Heaven King Tai Hang’s eyes burst into bright light as he threw out a punch with the power to shatter mountains. It was a terrifying punch that perfectly demonstrated the might of a high-grade God King.

The Divine Emperor, who looked like an old man in his twilight years, stood in midair, calmly facing Heaven God Tai Hang’s punch and responding to it with a slap.

He said he would take Tai Hang’s limbs. Since he had said that, he must do it. The words of an emperor spoke for an entire dynasty. If he failed to fulfill his words, it would certainly disgrace the entire dynasty.

As the crowd watched, the Divine Emperor’s slap went out and collided with Heaven King Tai Hang’s punch.

A deafening rumble rang out, followed by a crisp crackling sound. The next moment, fine lines began to appear and spread all over Heaven King Tai Hang’s fist, making it look as miserable as a broken porcelain doll. The next moment, a vast amount of blood and energy spewed out from those cracked lines.

Tai Hang’s pupils constricted as his huge arm crumbled into pieces, then crashed to the ground with a loud bang, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust. One of his arms was broken!

An uproar broke out instantly. The whole capital became extremely noisy at this moment, and everyone’s eyes were filled with fanaticism and reverence! This was their Divine Emperor who could hold up a world for them!

“His Majesty is… mighty!”

Black Armor, King Pingyang, and the others all looked thrilled, and they clenched their fists excitedly with their auras fluctuating violently.

The experts of the Titan Divine Dynasty, on the other hand, turned pale. Tai Hang had failed, just as they had expected. He was really crazy to provoke the Divine Emperor.

The experts of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty were also gasping. The Divine Emperor’s might had shocked them all. “Heaven King Tai Hang has brought this on himself!”

The Divine Emperor put his hands behind him, his face indifferent and his white hair waving around him. Clad in a dragon robe, he walked forward step by step.

One of Heaven King Tai Hang’s arms was broken, and his blood spilled all over the sky. He took a step back, but then the Divine Emperor raised a hand at him again.

Rumble!

A myriad of Laws spread and filled the air. Their power gathered and formed a hand in the sky, which then grabbed Heaven King Tai Hang’s other arm and yanked it. With a ripping sound, the arm was torn off, and a jet of blood spurted out from the shoulder.

Heaven King Tai Hang howled miserably, and his voice spread far and wide. The Divine Emperor, however, showed no sign of being moved or wanting to stop. His face was as stern and indifferent as ever.

Rumble!

The Divine Emperor threw out another palm, then another, and another. He kept slapping Heaven King Tai Hang as if he were teaching a child a lesson, and whenever the palm struck, the latter screamed.

All of a sudden, one of Tai Hang’s legs, which was as huge and tall as a pillar that supported the sky, cracked, and then it shattered into pieces. He lost his balance immediately and fell to the ground with a loud boom.

The next moment, his towering Titan body shrank and finally became the size of an ordinary man, but he looked very miserable now, with blood pouring out of him like fountains. His eyes widened, and at last, he showed a look of fear. “This is impossible… Why do you still dare to make such crazy moves when you have stepped into your twilight years? Aren’t you afraid of the suppression of the Universe’s Will? Aren’t you afraid of the catastrophe?”

Heaven King Tai Hang growled in a hoarse voice. He rolled over and stomped on the void with his last remaining foot, making a hole in it. With a boom, he soared into the sky.

“It’s none of your business.” The Divine Emperor rolled his eyes and threw out one last slap, shattering Heaven King Tai Hang’s remaining leg and sending him tumbling down from the sky.

“You…”

“Black Armor, Gold Armor, where are you?” The Divine Emperor clasped his hands behind him, his dragon robes flapping in the wind.

Black Armor and Gold Armor turned into beams of black and golden light, flew over, and knelt respectfully in front of the Divine Emperor.

“Lock Heaven King Tai Hang’s body and put him in prison. If the Titan Divine Dynasty wants to ransom him, let their Divine Emperor come himself,” the Divine Emperor said. He gave a little cough, then added, “This is the end of the matter. If you continue to make trouble, I’ll not hesitate to kill you all.”

After that, he turned and disappeared into the void again.

Everyone was silent and did not dare to say anything. The Divine Emperor’s prowess was indeed very terrifying.

Lord Dog and Bu Fang stood on top of the building, watching calmly.

“This old man is really strong,” Lord Dog said, sticking out his tongue.

Bu Fang also nodded. The Divine Emperor’s strength was by far the strongest he had ever encountered. ‘But…’ He frowned slightly as he felt a little strange. Yes, the Divine Emperor was strong, but it seemed to him that he lacked energy. Under that monstrous pressure, Bu Fang sensed emptiness.

He shook his head. These things had little to do with him. Twitching the corner of his mouth, he put his hands behind him and glanced indifferently at the experts in the distant sky.

The experts from both the Titan Divine Dynasty and the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty were silent. Sure enough, the Divine Emperor’s might was still there. A high-grade God King’s limbs were torn off, which was a terrible sight to behold. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the rich energy of a God King was boiling everywhere.

The Divine Emperor had left, and so did the surrounding experts. Bu Fang and Lord Dog returned to the restaurant and closed the door. This was how the storm ended.

Inside the palace, the Divine Emperor had returned with his hands behind him. He dismissed all the eunuchs and maids, then went and sat down on his throne.

Cough, cough…

He opened his mouth and began to cough violently. There seemed to be a slightly dark shadow floating on his face, while the power of a unique, profound Law swirled around his body. It made him feel that death was around him.

“Great trial… Catastrophe…”

His crown fell off, and his white hair spread messily around his face. An excruciating pain washed over him. He endured it, and after a long time, he finally opened his eyes. His forehead was dotted with cold sweat.

The Divine Emperor’s face was unsightly. Whenever he made a move, he hastened the arrival of his great trial and worsened the catastrophe. Even if Bu Fang’s fried oyster pancake could temporarily suppress it, the effect would not last for too long.

He had spent a very long time in recuperation, but all the effort was gone after he made a move today. Worst of all, his great trial had grown much stronger than before.

Whenever a divine emperor stepped into his twilight years, he would be greeted by a great trial. It was because their power was too strong and had gone beyond the limit. This was their punishment.

The Divine Emperor sat on his throne, gasping for breath. After a long time, he got up shakily and put on plain clothes to disguise himself as a simple old man. He then left the palace, heading toward Bu Fang’s restaurant.

The night was over, and the sky was beginning to turn bright with the first ray of the sun.

The battle came as a shock for the whole situation in the divine dynasty. The Divine Emperor’s thunderous strike had killed off the malicious thoughts of many people in the court. He had shown them his fearsome prowess by taking away Heaven King Tai Hang’s limbs and putting the mighty expert in prison, which changed the mind of all those who thought he was old and weak.

The next day was the day of opening the passage to the ancient Heavengod’s relic. The experts of the emissaries were all going to enter the relic, which was the main purpose of their trip here.

It was late in the morning when the Divine Emperor finally showed up. He was still as mysterious and dignified as ever. He gave a long speech. After that, he raised his hand and unleashed a seal, which flew up into the sky and caused the sky to shake.

The void began to twist and spin. Soon, a huge opening emerged in the sky, which was the entrance to the relic. Without saying anything, the experts of the emissaries rushed into it. When all of them had entered, a black dog carrying a bone on his back followed as well.

For a moment, the whole world fell silent. It was only a long time later that the crowd broke out into an uproar.

“That black dog will also go to the relic?!”

Bu Fang knew that Lord Dog was going to the relic. The latter had told him that. However, he didn’t choose to follow.

The restaurant door opened with a creak, and the sunlight came through it to pool on the floor. Bu Fang was cooking in the kitchen. Just when he was practicing new dishes, the long-awaited serious voice of the System rang in his head. He paused.

‘Temporary task: Please go to the ancient Heavengod’s relic and help the Divine flame devour ancient Heavengod’s Laws. Task reward: One Fruit of Law.’

Bu Fang’s movements stopped, and his brows furrowed. It had been a long time since the last task. It never occurred to him that the System would give him a temporary task now, and the task was to help the Divine flame devour the ancient Heavengod’s Laws.

‘This System is swelling with confidence, isn’t it? Does it think that a Heavengod’s Laws are so easy to devour? How many Laws did an ancient Heavengod have, when a high-grade God King already comprehended one thousand Laws? Letting the Divine flame devour a Heavengod’s Laws is like an idiot’s daydream! Besides, with the Heavengod dead for so long, those Laws are no longer as clear as before…’

However, the System’s reward for the task made his eyes narrow slightly.

‘A Fruit of Law! Another Fruit of Law! What is the System trying to achieve?’

Bu Fang had no idea if he would comprehend another supreme Law of the Universe after eating another Fruit of Law. If he did, he would be the first existence in the entire Chaotic Universe to comprehend three supreme Laws of the Universe! It would be an honor and something to be proud of!

He found that the System’s reward for the task was irresistible, so he became lost in thought. It did not take too long for him to consider, though. He decided to enter the relic, and he did that for nothing else but the Fruit of Law!

As the System was telling him about the temporary task, Bu Fang’s heart began to race faster and faster… If he could get a few more Fruits of Law, could he become the first Demigod who comprehended all the supreme Laws of the Universe? If he did, how strong would he become?
