140: Chapter 140 The Yellow Emperor!

The voice came from the Supreme Human Emperor Sword.

After the voice appeared, a phantom emerged from the sword, clutching a faint Divine Soul in its hand.

It was the Divine Soul of the unconscious Sword God Su.

"Who are you?" Ignoring the Divine Soul that was so weak it was about to vanish, Zhou Yuxuan looked at the phantom and asked.

"Hehe! This old man is named Xuanyuan Wuji. In the Near Ancient Era, the world honored me as the Human Emperor!!"

The voice of this phantom caused Zhou Yuxuan and his group to feel surprised.

From what just happened, they learned that this Human Emperor Xuanyuan and the Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family were figures from the same era.

Their gazes couldn't help but fall upon Ancestor Zhou Wudi.

At this moment, Ancestor Zhou Wudi suddenly sneered and spoke in a cold voice.

"Hehe! So it's you!"

"But unfortunately, I won't let this kid go, and I won't let you go either!"

"You know me?" Hearing this cold tone, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's gaze turned cold as he looked at Ancestor Zhou Wudi.

Immediately, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan felt surprised; the old man before him felt very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But he lived in the Near Ancient Era, which was separated from the current era by the Kaiyuan Era.

Each of these eras spanned at least a million years of history.

He couldn't imagine what kind of existence could live from the Near Ancient Era until now.

One must know that even someone as powerful as him, a Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Palace, only avoided the disappearance of his Divine Soul and the dissipation of his consciousness by inhabiting the Supreme Human Emperor Sword.

However, despite inhabiting the Supreme Human Emperor Sword, he was subject to many restrictions.

For example, he couldn't move freely and could only fall into a deep sleep; only in moments of crisis was there a possibility of him waking up.

Yet, even if he woke up, he wouldn't possess the same formidable strength as before.

However, logically speaking, even if he didn't have his combat power from the Near Ancient Era, he was a Genius of that time—an era where everyone was like a Dragon and every single one was a Prodigy.

Even if he couldn't exert his full strength, he should be able to handle most crises in this current era, where the Heavenly Dao's seal had not yet been released and the true great age had yet to arrive.

But the crises he handled had to be caused by ordinary people; however, the crisis he faced now was a Prodigy expert who had lived in the same era as him.

Thinking of this, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but quietly begin to circulate his power, intending to flee immediately at the critical moment.

"Hehe! Xuanyuan, have you forgotten me after all this time?"

At this moment, Ancestor Zhou Wudi's appearance began to return to youth, and the ancient, decayed clothes on his body gradually transformed into spotless white robes.

"The elegant white-robed Ancestor Zhou Wudi, whose fist shatters the firmament and remains unscathed; the war fires of the battlefield pierce the nine heavens, a single battle deifies him, earning fame across the world."

"You... you are the Young Master of the Zhou Family from the Near Ancient Era, Ancestor Zhou Wudi?"

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan shouted, his voice filled with disbelief.

A hint of fear flickered in his eyes.

The white robes and that look of disdain for the world, treating all living beings as ants, were still etched in his mind at this moment.

In the Near Ancient Era, Ancestor Zhou Wudi's name was known to everyone; he rose step by step from a mortal body, cultivating Ancient Body Arts.

He battled the descendants of various Sects, Holy Lands, Immortal Families, and Immortal Longevity Clans, ultimately emerging victorious. Thus, his name spread throughout the Shengyuan World, and he was dubbed with the title 'Invincible.'

However, for some unknown reason, this legendary figure suddenly disappeared without a trace later on.

Everyone thought he had unfortunately fallen, never imagining that he had actually survived through two eras.

On this point, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Ancestor Zhou Wudi.

"Hehe! Xuanyuan, since you've recognized me, you must know you can't escape my grasp. Obediently hand over that kid's Divine Soul in your hand."

"Also, you should obediently disperse your Divine Sense. As for the matters of your Human Emperor Palace, if the current Young Lord of my Zhou Family is interested, perhaps he can assist you a bit."

Ancestor Zhou Wudi's voice was very flat, not sounding like a negotiation but more like an order.

"The Young Master of your Zhou Family?" The Human Emperor Xuanyuan had no other choice; he knew how powerful Ancestor Zhou Wudi was, having once been defeated by him.

Hearing Ancestor Zhou Wudi's suggestion, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuxuan.

However, this look was no small matter; it nearly gave him a heart attack.

In the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes, Zhou Yuxuan was surrounded by an aura of eerie and ominous energy.

Behind him, the faint phantom of a purple ancient pine tree almost covered the sky of this land.

On the leaves of this purple ancient pine, phantoms of various experts seemed to sense the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's gaze, each stiffly twisting their necks.

They cast red, menacing glares toward him.

"This... this..."

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan was so frightened he was somewhat speechless. Wasn't this the very enemy that their Human Emperor Palace had always fought against?

Now, if they were to cooperate with the enemy, wouldn't the efforts of the past generations of his Human Emperor Palace be completely wasted?

"What, Xuanyuan, are you unwilling?"

Ancestor Zhou Wudi no longer used techniques to restore his appearance to his youth.

His current appearance was elderly, but his voice was resonant and powerful.

"Humph! Old man, I don't believe you haven't seen the situation of this Young Master of the Zhou Family. My Human Emperor Palace will never cooperate with your Zhou Family."

"Your Zhou Family is nurturing him, but be careful that he doesn't bite back at your Zhou Family in the future, plunging your Zhou Family into a situation of eternal damnation."

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan said coldly, having already prepared to fight for his life.

Listening to their conversation, Zhou Yuxuan faintly picked up on something.

However, when he tried to combine various events and rumors to deduce further, it felt as if a mysterious force was preventing him from reaching the truth.

"Strange, it doesn't work?" Zhou Yuxuan muttered in deep thought.

At this moment, Ancestor Zhou Wudi also showed a look of impatience.

"Forget it, what happens to the Zhou Family's future is not for you to worry about. After all, you don't have a future anymore!"

As Ancestor Zhou Wudi's voice fell, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan controlled the Supreme Human Emperor Sword to tear through space, attempting to flee quickly.

However, while the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was fast, Ancestor Zhou Wudi was even faster.

Divine light erupted from his body, and Zhou Yuxuan was instantly astonished.

That was actually an Immortal Physique, and one he had never seen before. His Zhou Family actually had an Old Ancestor with an Immortal Physique still alive in the world.

Ancestor Zhou Wudi reached out and tapped lightly; instantly, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's body became motionless.

His aura, his expression, and everything about him were frozen at a certain point in time; even his consciousness was halted.

"Is this an Immortal Physique Divine Ability?" Zhou Yuxuan whispered.

The Divine Ability Ancestor Zhou Wudi performed was almost identical to the one the Eye of Immortal Truth had unleashed when he faced a life-threatening crisis before.

Ancestor Zhou Wudi walked forward slowly and said indifferently, "Since you are unwilling to cooperate with my Zhou Family, then this old man can only take action personally and eliminate you!"

As Ancestor Zhou Wudi lightly tapped the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's body, spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's phantom.

"Bang!!!"

Following a crisp sound, in the next second, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan shattered into countless fragments.

Immediately after, a crisp notification sound rang out in Zhou Yuxuan's mind.

"[Ding...]"
