568: His stats are higher than mine!

On the bridge, everyone was stunned to see Chu Mengxuan suddenly appear.

They had just seen Chu Mengxuan captured by Marfa's golden giant palm and were about to exit the cabin to rescue her, when they saw the Heavenly Gate open in the sky and the Divine Emperor make a brilliant entrance.

Before anyone could get excited, Chu Mengxuan appeared in the cabin again?

Seeing everyone's confusion, Chu Mengxuan scratched her cheek and smiled, "I've been in the cabin the whole time. The one who just went out was actually an Imperial Guard."

"An Imperial Guard???"

Everyone simultaneously realized, gasped, and recalled Qin Yang's extremely abstract summon.

That thing was too abstract; it could transform into anything!

Any trust crisis among the high-ranking officials of Shenzhou was all thanks to the Imperial Guards.

Because you could never be sure if the person standing opposite you, or the person sleeping beside you, was the real person.

All they could do was show consistent and unwavering loyalty to the Divine Emperor.

However, it was a good thing that the Empress had not fallen into enemy hands, which meant Qin Yang could act without any reservations.

"The Divine Emperor... seems different now."

In the cabin, Yekaterina's voice trembled.

As an Elf, her perception ability was stronger than that of the Human Race.

But when she stood before Qin Yang, she still felt a strong sense of oppression, as if standing beneath a towering mountain, making her chest feel heavy.

When she first met Qin Yang, her Tier and Qin Yang's were both at the Peak Emperor Tier.

And after Qin Yang advanced to the Transcendent Tier, this oppressive feeling became even stronger; it was no longer a high wall, but a giant star.

Just looking at it could trigger her megalophobia.

This was also why, despite being a concubine, she never dared to look directly at Qin Yang.

Sometimes, having overly sensitive perception was not a good thing.

And now, Qin Yang's image in her eyes was different again.

From the moment Qin Yang floated out of the Heavenly Gate, she had a profound sense of gazing upon the universe, as if she could see the vastness of the Myriad Realms and the weight of endless years through Qin Yang's eyes.

However, this did not make Yekaterina uncomfortable; instead, she felt a sense of openness, like when gazing at the starry sky, as if the starry sky was the Divine Emperor, and the Divine Emperor was the starry sky, just one glance, and she could be deeply immersed in it.

Yekaterina's expression was intoxicated, as if her Soul had already Transmigrated into the Great Void through Qin Yang's eyes.

The other people on the ship, however, did not have the Elf's keen perception.

They just felt that Qin Yang, within the Heavenly Gate, seemed softer than before.

After the Divine Emperor ascended to the Transcendent Tier, the Aura on him was unbearable to look at directly.

He was like a giant star, constantly restraining the violent energy within him, as if once it erupted, it could immediately tear space apart.

But now, they didn't have that feeling.

Looking at the Divine Emperor was like looking at an ordinary person.

But if he were truly an ordinary person, how could he break open the Heavenly Gate?

It could only be said that as humans, they could no longer perceive the Divine Emperor's power through their senses.

In the distance, Marfa, who was tightly gripping "Chu Mengxuan," also noticed Qin Yang.

Like the Expeditionary Force, he couldn't see the difference in Qin Yang at this moment, but his long years in the Elf World had also given him keen perception.

The moment Qin Yang appeared, Marfa felt a sense of crisis, as if a sharp sword was hanging over his head.

However, he didn't know where this sense of crisis came from.

The so-called "Divine Emperor" in front of him was clearly just a Transcendent Tier.

"This person is indeed very unusual."

Marfa thought to himself.

Logically, a Transcendent Tier Divine Emperor should not be able to threaten a Demigod Tier like himself.

But he had also heard that when the Divine Emperor was at the Emperor Rank, he had achieved the feat of slaying a god.

The long-lost God of War had fallen at his hands, without even a chance for Reincarnation.

This already showed that the person in front of him could not be judged by his Tier.

"However, who doesn't have some special quality?"

Marfa's gaze sharpened.

His Tier was Demigod Tier; theoretically, his strength was not as good as a true god.

However, his power came from the Immortals beyond the heavens, who were above the gods.

Like the Divine Emperor, his own "Demigod" status could not be judged by Tier.

Thinking of this, Marfa's lips curved into a smile.

He spoke to the Divine Emperor before the Heavenly Gate: "Over these past few decades, the Human Race's Luck has been quite good, producing a Child of Destiny like you. It's a pity you don't respect destiny, and the High God no longer favors you."

With that, he looked up at the sky and said, "Now, I will replace you. I will lead the Human Race and pledge allegiance to the High..."

"Kneel."

Before Marfa could finish his sentence, he heard the Divine Emperor say faintly.

His voice was not loud, but it traveled thousands of miles, covering the entire territory.

Everything in heaven and earth, all things, heard it clearly.

Upon hearing the words "Kneel," Marfa suddenly felt his body sink, his legs bent, and he plummeted downwards.

Boom!

The earth shook, and dust rose everywhere.

"What... what's going on?"

When Marfa reacted, he found himself kneeling in the center of a cracked pattern. He wanted to stand up again, but he couldn't even lift a single finger.

"Damn it!"

"What kind of skill is this?"

Marfa was incredibly surprised.

He knew very well that he had been hit by the Divine Emperor's control skill.

But logically, as long as it was a skill, he would have resistance.

And as a Demigod Tier, his resistance was already maxed out.

Yet the Divine Emperor in the sky could hard-control him from several kilometers away.

This was either the power of authority, or his resistance was completely overwhelmed.

"No, this isn't the power of authority..."

"My passive was triggered, but I didn't resist successfully!"

Marfa was terrified, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, flowing down his nose, and dripping onto the ground.

He sensed that his passive immunity to control had entered cooldown.

If it were authority, it would take effect directly, without triggering the passive at all.

This meant... his resistance was nonexistent in front of the Divine Emperor!

"His stats are above mine!!!"

Marfa's heart grew cold, and before he could catch his breath, he felt a chilling sensation from above his head.

He used the sweat dripping to the ground to see the scene in the sky.

Above his head, golden light shone brightly, as if countless stars had lit up.

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, yues, hooks, forks... countless golden-glowing weapons were condensing above him.

Each weapon was engraved with ancient patterns, none of them repeated.

It was as if they were truly divine weapons that had Transmigrated through Myriad Realms, coming from ancient times, containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

"If these hit me, I'll surely die!"

After sensing the power of the divine weapons, Marfa felt his scalp tingle.

With his Demigod body, taking one divine weapon would be tough enough. This Divine Emperor actually condensed tens of thousands of them; how ruthless!

Buzz!

With a sharp hum, the divine weapons all fell, like a celestial river pouring down, or stars falling.

Marfa was sure he couldn't withstand this overwhelming burst, and fearing he couldn't evade in time, he hardened his heart and threw the Divine Emperor's wife, whom he held in his golden giant palm, into the sky, thinking that no matter how ruthless the Divine Emperor was, he wouldn't strike his own wife and would surely cancel the attack.

And in that instant, he could flee a thousand miles, escaping the strike's range.

But to Marfa's shock... the falling divine weapons not only didn't stop, but instead directly slammed into the Divine Emperor's wife!

Bang!

The delicate body, under the divine weapons, turned into a wisp of smoke, as if even flesh and blood had evaporated upon contact.

After annihilating the Divine Emperor's wife, the divine weapons still didn't stop; instead, they accelerated downwards, without a moment's hesitation.

Seeing this, Marfa was completely distraught.

Damn it!

This was no Divine Emperor!

This was clearly the King of Hell!
