The Records of the Human Emperor

“Milord, this subordinate would not dare!”

The man in black became even more panicked.

The men in black had a strict internal hierarchy. He knew that there were at least seventy powerful Saint Martial realm experts in this region, and the man before him was clearly one of them. These venerable ones held power over life and death, and provoking them would mean instant death.

No one in the organization would even care that he had died.

With one move, the faceless man had suppressed the man in black, his voice remaining cold and emotionless.

“Starting from now, this place is my rest area. Guard this place for me! Nobody is permitted inside!” the faceless man sternly said, and then with a sweep of his sleeve, he stepped over the threshold and left.

Watching from the back, Wang Chong was at first startled, and then he chuckled.

The faceless man had spent years pursuing these men in black, interacting with them, so no one was more experienced than him when it came to dealing with them.

Wang Chong silently followed the faceless man from the pavilion.

The night was dark, the cold intensifying.

Men in black warily patrolled the area, with several dozen of them brushing past Wang Chong.

These people suspiciously examined Wang Chong and the faceless man before quickly moving on to other areas.

The men in black covered an extremely large region, with a span of nearly one thousand meters. Each place had a sentry post, and the power of the formation covered the entirety of the region. Besides that, the Subtle realm Psychic Energies of the Sky, Earth, and Water Officials made the place completely impervious.

They could pick out any intruders on the perimeter, but they seemed blind to ‘men in black’ like Wang Chong and the faceless man.

“In another several dozen meters, we’ll be in the interior! There’s no one between the perimeter and interior, but this only makes it harder to infiltrate. Anyone who enters this region will be immediately discovered, like a spot of ink on a white sheet of paper.”

The faceless man led the way as he communicated with Wang Chong through Psychic Energy.

He had once attempted to infiltrate the interior, but after multiple failures, he was forced to give up.

Firmament Supreme was simply too terrifying. Recklessly venturing inside was the same as suicide.

Every time the faceless man tried, he was almost suffocated by danger.

This sensation forced him to change his plan, and it was precisely this wise decision that allowed the faceless man to return to Wang Chong alive.

Wang Chong said nothing. He could not determine Firmament Supreme’s strength, but if Firmament Supreme was really as strong as Genesis Supreme, his only choice was to return to his estate.

“There’s no rush. Let’s take a look first,” Wang Chong said.

Everything depended on one’s own efforts, and there was no wall in the world that was impervious. He did not believe that the defenses of the men in black were this tight.

And if they really were discovered, Divine Embryo 1 was wholly capable of escaping.

“…Did you hear? Apparently, Venerable Firmament Supreme’s teleportation gate will be done in just another four days,” someone softly whispered from beneath an eave, their voice traveling through the darkness.

Buzz!

Wang Chong and the faceless man trembled in shock, stopping and turning in the direction of the voice.

On this long and cold night in this barren land, someone finally could not stand the loneliness and began to talk.

The men in black had all sorts amongst their ranks: Turks, Xi, Khitans, Mengshe Zhao… They mostly regarded each other as strangers, but the two conversing were clearly exceptions.

“Who did you hear it from?” another voice asked.

“When I went to report to the Sky Official, I overheard him speaking to Black Water.”

The first speaker had clearly not noticed Wang Chong and the faceless man, and continued to talk.

“I hear that our greatest foe in the eastern world is finally dead, and there’s nothing left for us to fear, nothing left that can oppose Heaven. We’ve already found a Child of the World in the east, so all that’s left is to set up the six bases and progress with the plan!”

The mention of the six bases made Wang Chong’s pupils constrict and his heart sink.

“So, those above are still preparing to destroy this world?” the second voice fearfully said.

“Shush! That’s not something you or I should be worried about. With the great calamity imminent, it’s already good enough that people like you and me can survive through it,” the first voice said, a tremble of fear in his voice.

“I really don’t want to stay here. Once the teleportation gate is set up, will we be allowed to leave?”

The two of them continued their whispered conversation, but the contents turned to the irrelevant. Wang Chong stopped listening and silently departed with the faceless man.

Turning a corner and finding a deserted nook, the two of them stopped.

“Master, what do we do now?”

The faceless man turned to Wang Chong.

This place was far from the Central Plains, so the men in black were much less afraid and would inadvertently leak information.

They probably assumed that even if someone overheard them, it wouldn’t have much effect. After all, outsiders basically couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

The conversation just now indicated that the time left for the two of them was short.

Once the teleportation gate was complete, it would be even harder to destroy.

Moreover, these people also had plans to attack An Sishun and Gao Xianzhi in Baghdad.

As the Supreme Marshal of the Great Tang, Wang Chong could not sit on the sidelines.

Wang Chong’s brow creased as countless thoughts passed through his mind.

Firmament Supreme was too much of a threat!

He had intended to first take stock of the situation before acting, but now, it seemed that he had to do something.

All kinds of ideas flitted through his mind.

Wang Chong’s eyes swiftly locked onto the place where the energies of the Sky, Earth, and Water Officials had gathered.

These three were powerful and were the guardians of the teleportation gate’s perimeter. But Wang Chong also felt that they were guarding something else.

To ruin their plans, I have to start with the three of them!

With this thought in mind, Wang Chong suddenly had an idea.

“Stay here. I’ll go over and look.”

Wang Chong used the Greater Void Step and swiftly headed toward the three officials.

The Greater Void Step was an art used by the men in black, so there was nothing strange about using it here.

Wang Chong swiftly approached the area without drawing any suspicion.

A few moments later, the massive palace of dark gold appeared in Wang Chong’s vision.

The palace was built in a classical western style, with large stone pillars, but the roof was Chinese, featuring flying eaves and bracketed arches. It all seemed indescribably bizarre.

Wang Chong sensed that those three storms of energy resided in this palace.

A voice rang out at this moment. “…These savages stink, their bodies covered in filth. Truly no different from wild beasts. The three lordships summoned them, but they dared to resist. They don’t know the difference between life and death!”

Wang Chong turned to the source of the voice and saw several men in black walking side by side toward that golden palace.

“Hmph, they’re nothing but ants. If they weren’t a tiny bit useful, we would have made them disappear a long time ago,” another man in black said.

“Let them live for a little longer. In any case, they’ll die like the rest once the plan begins.”

“Hush! The leaders are cultivating inside. Softer!” One of the men in black shushed the others, upon which the other men in black immediately shut their mouths.

“We’re here. Hurry and report to the leaders!”

The group soon arrived in the palace. They paused as one of them pushed open the doors.

Creeeak!

There was a piercing creak as the golden doors opened to reveal the inside.

The hall was brightly lit, and Wang Chong could see three majestic figures wearing golden robes seated cross-legged on the ground.

Dazzling halos radiated from their feet, slightly trembling and making the trio appear as gods.

Most uniquely, they wore red official hats upon which the words ‘Sky’, ‘Earth’, and ‘Water’ were written in ancient script.

Very strong!

Wang Chong’s eyes narrowed, and he instantly sensed danger.

He sensed that the Sky, Earth, and Water Officials were extremely powerful, and not merely in terms of pure strength. They seemed to possess secret techniques.

Not only that, in this brief glance, Wang Chong was able to sense that while the three of them possessed different kinds of energy, they had a special connection, similar to the one shared between his three divine embryos.

These three are too strong. They can’t be allowed to stick together!

A thought flashed through Wang Chong’s mind.

Buzz!

As Wang Chong shot a brief glance into the hall, one of the three officials suddenly blinked and turned in Wang Chong’s direction. At the same time, an immense wave of Psychic Energy thundered into Wang Chong’s mind.

Wang Chong’s mind trembled as a suffocating sense of danger engulfed him. But Wang Chong did not show it, instead restricting all his energy as he continued to walk forward.

Bang!

Suddenly, Wang Chong tripped, upon which a gout of Fire of Mara ‘accidentally’ shot out from his body and melted a large swath of snow.

The official’s brow relaxed as his doubts dissipated, and he turned his head toward the group of men in black.
