The Records of the Human Emperor

anslated by: Hypersheep325

An Lushan stood on the ground, that seemingly inextinguishable will to fight and killing intent instantly disappearing. Even his twisted and reddened face returned to normal. All that was left was infinite defeat and dejection.

Absurd!

This was the World Consciousness, the highest will of the world. No existence should have been able to surpass it.

How?

Wang Chong was somehow even capable of defeating the World Consciousness.

“What are you?” An Lushan suddenly said, his gaze settling on Wang Chong.

At the final moment of his life, An Lushan suddenly understood something.

He had always believed that Wang Chong was some ordinary noble who was merely more talented than the rest, but at this moment, An Lushan recalled the ‘Child of Destruction’ that Genesis Supreme had spoken of. Many things that he had only possessed a surface-level understanding of suddenly had a special meaning.

Someone who could defeat the World Consciousness and the heavens could not be an ordinary person.

Wang Chong had to have at least as many secrets as him.

“There’s no need to tell you. Regardless of what it is, it is all meaningless to you,” Wang Chong indifferently said, refusing to answer.

He naturally had secrets. At the very least, their relationship was not as grudge-free as An Lushan imagined, but there was no need to explain to An Lushan.

Bang!

Wang Chong struck before An Lushan could react, Stellar Energy infused with spacetime power rumbling into An Lushan’s body.

The abruptness of the attack and Wang Chong’s grasp of spacetime laws left An Lushan no time to respond.

“Ah!”

An Lushan vomited blood as he was blasted away, slamming into an ice-covered hill several dozen meters away.

The ten-some-meter-tall hill lasted for only a few moments before the frenzied energy within An Lushan’s body obliterated it.

An Lushan was heavily wounded at this time.

“Wang Chong, I’m going to kill you!

“World Consciousness, give me power! Power!”

An Lushan lay fallen in the ruins, staring at the approaching Wang Chong with panic, shock, and rage on his face.

The sturdy World Armor was covered in scars. He shifted backward, trying to create distance with Wang Chong as he reached out to the sky and roared, still hoping to obtain more power from the World Consciousness.

So long as the World Consciousness was there, no matter how badly injured he was, he could immediately recover.

He would not be harmed no matter how Wang Chong attacked him.

“Hmph, it’s useless. It will not appear again, at least not while I’m here!”

Wang Chong slowly strolled over, coldly laughing at the sight.

The cold wave raged above as always, but the thunderclouds were gone. An Lushan pleaded in vain.

No matter how unwilling An Lushan was, the moment Wang Chong dispersed the thundercloud vortex, he had put an end to any chance at reversal.

Bang!

In a golden flash of light, Wang Chong attacked once more. A dark golden Halo of Spacetime emerged, and the golden short halberd flew through it and slammed into An Lushan’s body.

The golden short halberd had been Firmament Supreme’s weapon and was incredibly sharp. Moreover, as Wang Chong had attacked the World Armor at the same place several times, with a sharp crack, the World Armor’s left breast was blasted open, totally shattering.

Plush! The golden short halberd embedded itself in An Lushan’s body, the enormous impact sending him flying back several thousand feet.

An Lushan crashed into the ground in an explosion of dust.

“To the death!”

An Lushan’s crazed roar erupted through the snowstorm.

After being blasted back by Wang Chong. An Lushan shot out of the cloud of dust like a cannonball, black energy roiling out of his body and transforming into a three-headed, six-armed, pitch-black war god.

The Turkic War God, Yaluo!

An Lushan had summoned his strongest attack.

Each arm of Yaluo, each grasping a different weapon, fiercely slashed at Wang Chong.

Roooar!

With a mighty roar, the black dragon of Youzhou reappeared behind An Lushan, quickly taking the form of a spear that landed in Yaluo’s hand.

At this time, War God Yaluo had perfectly fused with An Lushan’s black dragon Qi, the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

To unleash this supreme attack, An Lushan had burned all of the latent potential in his cells, rapidly shriveling his slightly plump body.

He was no longer simply burning potential, but half of his lifespan as well.

An Lushan was going all out to destroy Wang Chong.

“Die!”

An Lushan savagely snarled as the Turkic War God gripped the black dragon spear and unleashed the power created through burning all of An Lushan’s life on Wang Chong.

Rumble!

A massive explosion of golden light erupted in front of Wang Chong.

Waves of energy rippled, shaking the ground for several hundred li and sending sheets of white snow into the air.

Not even the earth could sustain the impact from this blow, and it fractured and fissured.

Crack! Crack! With a deafening rumble, a pitch-black chasm that was more than ten li long appeared on the vast Turkic steppe.

Just when An Lushan was brimming with the joy that came from vengeance, he heard a familiar voice at his ear.

“Are you satisfied?”

It was flat and indifferent, neither too loud nor too soft, but it exploded in An Lushan’s ear like a boom of thunder.

“Impossible!!!”

An Lushan gnashed his teeth and stared in disbelief at the armored figure of Wang Chong, floating in the air with a confident expression on his face. A dazzling golden halo in front of him had blocked An Lushan’s all-out attack.

“!!!”

An Lushan was dumbfounded.

He instantly recognized the golden halo as the ritual tool that Genesis Supreme had used.

“How could this be? No!”

An Lushan felt a chill as if cold water had been dumped on his body, and his will to fight completely vanished.

He keenly understood the power of Genesis Supreme’s divine tool. So long as this ritual tool was there, then no matter how powerful his attacks were, even if he burned up all his lifespan, he would never be able to hurt Wang Chong.

So long as this divine tool was there, Wang Chong was invincible.

He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to refine this ritual tool so quickly.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s expression was aloof as the halo divine tool transformed into a golden sword.

The Sword of God!

Wang Chong had successfully activated the halo’s strongest form.

Bang!

An Lushan stared in shock as the Sword of God swung into An Lushan’s chest.

It was the same move, but the power unleashed was on a completely different level from An Lushan’s.

“Aaaaah!”

With a terrible scream, An Lushan shot through the sky like a comet, seeming to have been struck by a thousand mountains.

Cracking and popping erupted from his body as many of his bones snapped and blood gushed out of his pores, painting the World Armor red.

Boom!

An Lushan was thrown back several li this time, and his impact with the ground created another explosion that left a pit ten-some meters deep and several hundred meters wide.

Wang Chong’s Sword of God also displayed its other terrifying ability.

That seemingly invincible World Armor had been slashed in two from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, the metal at the site of the cut even curling.

The Sword of God had fully exhibited its destructive power on the World Armor.

Bang!

Several hundred steps away from An Lushan, a young figure appeared. Wang Chong looked at the bloodstained An Lushan in the crater, his eyes ice-cold.

The protection of the World Consciousness and the World Armor were no more. There was nothing left stopping him, and he needed just one last strike to put a checkmark on their old grudge.

“No, no!

“I won’t die here!

“The grudge between us isn’t over!”

As An Lushan watched the callous Wang Chong slowly approach, his face grew agitated, his eyes brimming with unwillingness.

He still had far too many things he needed to do. He had yet to topple the Great Tang or establish his own ideal country. How could he just die here?

Bang!

An Lushan struggled up and flew out from the crater to escape, escape from this place and escape from Wang Chong, but after only a short distance, he dropped to the ground with a thud.

His Stellar Energy was all used up. The fact that he could flee so far while so heavily injured was already a miracle.

“No, I’ll never lose!”

An Lushan clenched his teeth, muttering to himself as he began to crawl forward.

Even though he was heavily injured, he still wanted to do all he could to gain even the smallest chance of survival.
