The muscles on the Emperor's face began to twitch. Anger, unwillingness, and other emotions surged in his heart. Fire jumped in his pitch-black pupils.
"If this continues, aren't you really afraid that your friends will die at the hands of Gui Gu Zi?"
The emperor gritted his teeth and asked word for word.
However, Xu Han chuckled as he waited for this question, "But the Emperor has just shown it to me. You will not let them live, will you?"
As Xu Han spoke, a white figure slowly condensed in front of the Emperor. It was surprisingly the white-robed Xu Han.
He smiled as he looked at the Emperor. There was not the slightest trace of anger or complacency on his face.
'"Moreover, everything in this world that the Emperor gave me in this world moves according to my heart. Time is the same. Even if you and I have stayed here for tens of thousands of years, a moment has passed outside. As long as the Emperor is willing, I can stay with the Emperor forever."
After saying that, the scenery in front of them suddenly became ethereal. Space distorted. After a dazzling white light flashed, Xu Han and the Emperor once again arrived in front of the thatched cottage.
"I have already gathered the new tea for the emperor. Would the emperor like to drink a pot of it?" Xu Han sat on the stone bench in front of the cottage and looked at the Emperor with narrowed eyes. He asked, but he reached out to lift the teapot on the stone table and poured two cups of tea. One cup was placed in front of him, and the other was pushed out by him and placed on the opposite side.
The Emperor's expression became extremely unsightly. He remained silent for a while, then took a deep breath. The burning flames in his pupils were extinguished at that moment. He walked to the opposite side of Xu Han and sat down there. He reached out to pick up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Then, he looked at Xu Han and asked, "What do you want?"
Xu Han smiled. At that time, a black cat jumped into his embrace. He stroked the black cat's smooth hair and said slowly, "The emperor doesn't follow the rules, but I am a person who follows the rules. I want to continue the business between us at the original price."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes. The narrow and long gaps in his eyes were filled with shock that he tried his best to conceal, but could not conceal. Of course, Xu Han's suggestion was not bad, but too good. It was so good that the Emperor had no choice but to suspect that behind Xu Han's suggestion was some sort of conspiracy.
After all, at this moment, Xu Han had revealed his strength that could contain him, and the relationship between the two had undergone some subtle changes. With the Emperor's understanding of the nature of these creatures, it was evident that it was not their style to start a bid without sitting down. Even though the Xu Han in front of him was one of the most interesting people the Emperor had ever seen in his tens of thousands of years, the Emperor still believed that he could not escape from the mortal world. The more "generous" he was, the more the emperor felt that there was something fishy about it.
However, Xu Han did not seem to sense the suspicion and vigilance in the Emperor's eyes. He slowly poured himself a cup of tea and said leisurely, "Of course, the Emperor is a decent person. I think he will feel guilty because of his words and deeds. Naturally, you are ashamed of my suggestion."
As Xu Han spoke, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more intense, carrying a faint hint of mockery. "I am a considerate person. Naturally, I will not bear to see the Emperor like this. Thus, I thought of a way."
When the Emperor heard this, such thoughts arose in his heart. However, he did not say anything to break it. Instead, he looked coldly at Xu Han and waited for his next words.
Xu Han continued, "If not, the Emperor will return this body to me as an apology. At that time, when the forty percent of the Emperor's power is unsealed, we will still follow the original plan and split it in half. What do you think, Emperor?"
The Emperor's expression immediately changed. He took Xu Han's words, so he naturally had to pay a price to escape, and he was prepared for this. However, he never imagined that Xu Han's conditions would be so harsh.
"You know, I can't agree to this condition." The Emperor said with deep eyes. His tone was extremely low. Xu Han could clearly feel that anger was brewing in the Emperor's heart when he said those words.
However, Xu Han did not seem to notice it. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "There are no unacceptable conditions in this world. There is only a lack of determination," he said.
Flames lit up in the Emperor's eyes once again. His clothes stirred, and the green mountains and rivers in this world began to distort and drift under this enormous pressure.
The ground beneath his feet began to shatter. Cracks tens of feet wide began to form beneath his feet and spread out in all directions. The fences and thatched cottages in the courtyard collapsed. The towering green hills behind him toppled over and the river water in front of him began to flow backwards. A gigantic black disc revealed its true appearance through the crack in the ground. The Emperor stood in the middle of the disc and slowly rose up. He looked down at Xu Han condescendingly.
At that time, the ground beneath Xu Han's feet had already shattered, but his body remained motionless in the void. Even the teapot and cup beside him were standing in the distance like him, as if there was still an invisible stone platform beneath them, lifting them up.
"Sigh." Xu Han sighed, his tone filled with regret and pity, "Has the Emperor forgotten that I have everything in this world that the Emperor has?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup in Xu Han's hand was gently lowered by him. Then, his clothes began to surge, and his eyes were instantly tainted with pitch-black light. A black disk that looked like the first emperor suddenly appeared beneath his feet, lifting his body to the same height as the emperor.
Their gazes intertwined.
The anger in the Emperor's eyes grew even more intense, while Xu Han's gaze was calm.
There were countless scenes. Even if they were trapped in the cycle of time and sealed in the depths of this world by Gui Gu Zi, the Emperor had never felt such humiliation.
At the very least, during those failures, the Emperor had been schemed by some uncertain factors, and he had always been in a position where others were alert and fearful of him. The Emperor had to take every step with caution. But now, compared to the teenager in his early twenties, who had lived a long life that could not even be called a blink of an eye, she was forced to make compromises again and again.
At this moment, the anger in his heart could be seen from this.
The flames in the Emperor's eyes finally extinguished after a burst of jumping.
Then, the giant black disk beneath his feet stopped working. He sighed and said, "Only this condition isn't enough. Without this body, what can I use to withstand 35% of the emperor's power?"
Emperor's power, It's the most violent and powerful force in the world, Those Saint Kings whose cultivation base was comparable to the Three Tribulations Immortal created by the Dark Asura Palace, The amount of emperor power he absorbed was only a small amount, but even so, once he released all of this power, it would definitely be devoured within a day. Moreover, this was the result of the Saint King's body being blessed by the Dark Asura Palace. From this, it could be seen how domineering the emperor's power was.
As for Xu Han's body, it was already extremely special. He could withstand the full power of an emperor under certain circumstances. Apart from that, it was almost impossible to find such a physical body in this world. If he really had such a physical body, then only the Valley Master of Ghost Valley and the Overseer of the Myriad Domains who had the same cultivation as him would be left.
However, it was clear that the bodies of these two people were not so easy to obtain, especially in the current state of the Emperor. Gui Gu Zi's cultivation wasn't frightening, but during the heyday of the emperor, he could still seal the emperor through various schemes, and the current emperor was even less of a match for him. As for the other monitor, his cultivation was not something that could be described with just the word'horrifying '. Even the Emperor was unable to imagine that a creature could reach such a realm with its own abilities. If it wasn't for the restoration of its peak combat strength, the Emperor would definitely not be willing to provoke the other party.
Therefore, under the restriction of this situation, Xu Han's physical body became the only option for the emperor.
Giving up Xu Han's fleshly body was equivalent to giving up the chance to become a true emperor again. This was clearly a condition that an emperor could not accept no matter what.
"Of course, not everyone can withstand a hundred percent of an emperor's power, but thirty-five percent of an emperor's power can be said to be very easy to deal with." However, Xu Han continued without changing his expression, "For example, isn't the evil dog that the emperor raised, who has lived for six hundred years, just a very good physical body? I dare not say anything else. After the emperor's spirit soul is stationed in it, it is not easy to endure the power of the emperor by thirty-five percent."
Naturally, these words were correct. The Emperor also understood this point. However, what the Emperor wanted was not a mere 35% of the Emperor's strength. He wanted all of it, and that evil dog's physical body was obviously not enough to support an outsider like the Emperor.
Because of this, the Emperor frowned and fell into a dilemma.
"I know what the emperor wants, but I don't know what the emperor wants. That's why the emperor harbors a grudge against me. There is a saying that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win a hundred battles. If the emperor wants this, he won't be able to defeat that scheming Ghost Millet." Xu Han did not urge the other party, but continued to speak in a leisurely tone.
When the Emperor heard this, he looked up at Xu Han and asked, "What do you want?"
However, that tone of voice revealed a faint sense of urgency that he did not notice. This also meant that from this moment onwards, this god that traversed the starry sky of the Myriad Domains had truly become a bit chaotic.
"Emperor, think carefully. Gui Gu Zi wants the Emperor's divine power. What Emperor wants is to return to its peak and once again reign over the starry sky. The conflict between the two of you is obviously irreconcilable, and you will not end up dying." Xu Han narrowed his eyes and said. "What I want is the fate of being able to live peacefully with the creatures of this world. If I want to do this, I have to prevent the Emperor from succeeding. I also have to prevent Gui Gu Zi from succeeding. Therefore, the conflict between me and the Emperor and Gui Gu Zi is also irreconcilable."
"In other words, the three of us are mortal enemies."
Hearing this, the Emperor's eyes once again revealed a sullen expression. He felt a sense of being fooled. Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit that when he asked that question just now, there was a faint expectation in his heart that Xu Han would give him some different answers, such as being willing to join hands with him, or shaking hands with him. After experiencing the illusion from before, the Emperor was already a little afraid of this youth in front of him. If he could, he was not willing to be his enemy.
"Since that's the case, what reason do you think I have to create a terrifying opponent for myself?" The Emperor asked with a heavy brow.
The corners of Xu Han's mouth curled upwards as he said, "Only in this way will the Emperor have the chance to go to the arena and play with Gui Gu Zi again."
"I also need this opportunity to get on the stage and find the opportunity we need for the world I live in. I am willing to pay any price for this opportunity."
After Xu Han finished speaking, he no longer spoke. Instead, he looked at the Emperor with a calm gaze.
Under such a tranquil gaze, The anger in the Emperor's heart gradually subsided. Of course, this was not because he was no longer angry. Rather, he could tell from Xu Han's gaze that this was Xu Han's bottom line. The other party would not make any further concessions. In order to achieve this goal, he was also prepared to hold a stalemate with the Emperor and even let Gui Gu Zi sit down and reap the benefits of a fisherman.
When a deal reaches this point, the other party is left to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to proceed with the deal.
The emperor was silent for a long time, but what he was doing was not measuring the gains and losses, but whether the youth in front of him really had the courage to burn both jade and stone with him.
The answers he got clearly did not satisfy him.
He had no choice but to let out a long sigh, and then he lowered his hands weakly.
On the black disk of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, the confrontation between Shen Wushuang and Chen Xuanji continued. The murderous aura between their brows was solemn, and boundless auras continuously collided in midair, emitting bursts of muffled sounds.
At this moment, the Emperor on the throne's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a powerful aura rippled out from his body.
The faces of both sides changed at that moment, and they immediately restrained their attacks. Then, they hurriedly turned to look at the awakened Emperor.
"What's wrong? You guys are going to fight to the death if I'm not here soon, aren't you?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked.
It was clear that both sides were extremely afraid of the Emperor, and they lowered their heads at that time, not daring to look at the Emperor's gaze.
"This subordinate only acted according to my lord's will, but Shen Wushuang insisted on disturbing my lord, so there was a conflict." Chen Xuanji said before Shen Wushuang.
Hearing this, Shen Wushuang's heart skipped a beat. He cursed inwardly, then raised his head to look at the Emperor, wanting to explain what had happened. However, when his gaze met the Emperor's, he saw the Emperor stretching out one of his hands, indicating that he did not need to say anything more.
"You come up." Then, the Emperor hooked his finger towards Shen Wushuang.
The fear in Shen Wushuang's heart was even greater, but he didn't dare to disobey the Emperor in the end. He could only carry waves of fear as he walked up to the Emperor's side.
"There are priorities. Of course, you can't hide them. You've done a good job …"
Just as Shen Wushuang thought that he was going to bear the wrath of the emperor, he heard these words. He was stunned for a moment, and then joy surged out of his heart.
"I don't dare to arrogate. It's just that this matter is really urgent. My lord is truly fortunate to be able to perceive this subordinate." Shen Wushuang raised his head to look at the Emperor.
He saw a pair of eyes, a pair of clean and clear eyes with a mocking smile.
His body trembled and his feet weakened. At that moment, his entire body fell on his back.
He realized something…
These are not the eyes that an emperor should have…
This was Xu Han's eyes! ! !
