The Human Emperor (1-200)

C85: Consort Taizhen

This was Wang Chong’s first time experiencing the prowess of the World Constraint, or rather, the rejection of the world. It felt as though the entire world was hostile toward him.

Before such overwhelming strength, Wang Chong felt insignificant, helpless, and fearful.

And it was likely he wouldn’t be the only one. Wang Chong believed that no matter who it was, before that imposing torrent of the world, all cultivators would feel as inconsequential as an ant.

Leaning against the frame of his bed, Wang Chong panted heavily. Even until now, perspiration was still flowing freely down his body.

“So this is the price of my reincarnation, I’ve become the enemy of the entire world. If not for the Destiny Stone, I would have been crushed to smithereens long ago.”

Closing his eyes, Wang Chong thought silently. A bitter smile slowly crept onto his lips.

Wang Chong finally realized what kind of trial lay before the reincarnators of the world. His only hope at this point was the Destiny Stone.

That torrent of the world was ceaseless, and it would come crashing down on him again and again. However, the faint light exuded from the Destiny Stone provided him a sanctuary amidst the raging storm, allowing him to survive the calamity.

“That 20 Destiny Energy should have been consumed by now. And this is only the first wave!”

The moment he thought of this, the Destiny Stone appeared in his mind once more.

【Warning】

【Only 5 Destiny Energy points is left!】

【Countdown to the next World Constraint: 3 months!】

【Destiny Energy required: 30 points!】

…

Reading the news that appeared in his mind, Wang Chong smiled bitterly. It was exactly as he has expected. The Destiny Energy that he needed to repel the World Constraint had increased to 30 from 25.

Sitting on the ground, Wang Chong’s stamina slowly recovered. Gradually, a mystical feeling spread across his entire body. Surge after surge of energy foreign to him suddenly burst bit by bit from his pores, muscles, and beneath his skin.

He could feel that his physical strength was increasing along with the recovery of his stamina. Furthermore, this energy seemed to wield incredible penetrative ability. Seeping through his skin and muscles into his bones and bone marrow, it began to strengthen Wang Chong’s bones, meridians, and his muscles.

“Un? This is…”

Wang Chong was alarmed. Then soon, he came to a realization. The Destiny Stone once mentioned that with the successful repulsion of each World Constraint, his physical body would be strengthened.

Thinking such, Wang Chong was delighted. He abruptly stood up and began to execute the Celestial Steps, cultivating by the formula of the Herculean Punch. Peng peng peng! Shock waves burst about the room, and an air current reminiscent of tidal waves were generated.

It was as he expected! When Wang Chong executed the Herculean Punch, the speed at which the gradually dissipating energy seeped into his body increased significantly. Wang Chong could feel his bones absorbing the nourishment from his bloodstream, growing stronger swiftly.

“Could this energy be the remaining Power of the World?”

Wang Chong was overjoyed. Recalling the grand Power of the World, he wondered if it was possible that the faint yellow light barrier formed through Destiny Energy has captured some of the dissipating Power of the World and directed it to him.
