Chapter 1844: Carnage (2)

The Nether Pseudo Emperor did not want to be the fifth Daofuse to die either.

He was too near the Human Realm to turn around and leave. In truth, he did not even want to approach the Human Realm anymore. But he could see the battles erupting all over the Allheaven Battlefield. Humanity's strength was fully out of the Human Realm.

He couldn't help but wonder if he could return in time. With Great Zhou King's teleportation, was escape really possible?

Suddenly, several figures appeared in his vision. Qin Zhen, Xia Longwu, Wan Tiansheng, Nan Wujiang, Yun Chen...

Nether Pseudo Emperor's heart thumped.

He wouldn't kill anyone. Instead, he could capture some!

A hostage!

These people were close to Su Yu. Some were his teachers, and some were the descendants of Great Xia King and Great Qin King. With them as hostages, he might be able to return safely!

Yes. He had changed his plan. That was a sudden idea. Even capturing one of them would greatly elevate his survival chances. That was only a group of Eternals. He only needed to pay a sufficient price to capture at least one of them. Thus, he increased his speed as he moved toward the Eastrift Valley.

Eastrift Valley.

In his fluttering white robes, Wan Tiansheng was standing atop a mountain peak. Noticing the approaching Pseudo Emperor, he sighed.

He really didn't want to show his strength. Su Yu intended to have them hide their strength as much as possible. If not, let Wan Tiansheng be the only one to expose his strength. They were to keep the guardians hidden as best as possible.

Why was the Nether Pseudo Emperor still heading their way? He could have turned around and fled. Su Yu's group might be too busy to care about him.

Nether Pseudo Emperor was nearer and nearer.

Before long, he crossed the Plain of Desires. Behind Wan Tiansheng, dozens of Eternals roared, "Battle! Kill him!"

They had enough Eternals here not to fear the Nether Pseudo Emperor. Some might die in the process, but there was no doubt of their eventual victory.

"Protect the realm!"

Wan Tiansheng ordered, stopping them from doing anything rash. Su Yu wanted to reduce or even avoid casualties. For that purpose, he had even given up on the chance to kill all the myriad race Daofuses in the Lower Realm. Thus, he would not approve of letting these people die meaninglessly.

If Su Yu had been willing to accept casualties, he would have wiped out the myriad race Daofuses in the Lower Realm long ago. Of course, the price for that achievement would be high.

"Time is on our side."

Wan Tiansheng chuckled and shook his head. So be it. This would be his chance to test out his new strength. He drew his finger across the sky, and instantly, a River of Time unfurled out before shooting toward the Nether Pseudo Emperor.

The Nether Pseudo Emperor attempted to suppress the river, but Wan Tiansheng was already beside him before he could do anything.

"Copy."

Instantly, countless Wan Tianshengs appeared. Each came riding atop an independent River of Time.

The gazes of numerous humans were drawn toward Lan Tian when they saw Wan Tiansheng's fight. Lan Tian merely giggled and cheered, "Do your best, Tiansheng! Kill him!"

The Eternals hurriedly distanced themselves from Lan Tian. Just what dao was Wan Tiansheng pursuing? What manner of dao was this? Their question was answered promptly.

He seemed to be a super all-rounder.

The human dao was all-encompassing. He pioneered a dao with his life as the base. Every moment of human life was a form of comprehension for him. Every moment was dao. His dao was all-embracing.

He was a kind sage bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind. Touched by his emotions, the very heavens cried.

Suddenly, the Nether Pseudo Emperor felt a boundless sorrow seeping into him. He started crying while fighting Wan Tiansheng. But immediately after, he roared in fury. At the same time, the sorrowful Wan Tiansheng had turned into a furious Wan Tiansheng. "Rebel, die!"

At that, the Nether Pseudo Emperor's mind trembled as he found himself...swayed. He agreed that he was a rebel as well.

"You...are you a Daofuse? No! You're not a Daofuse!"

The Nether Pseudo Emperor was alarmed. Dao pioneer! Wan Tiansheng had pioneered his own dao!

"Do you confess your crimes?"

The Nether Pseudo Emperor merely roared and clawed at Wan Tiansheng. Confess his mother!

"Take a trip to the River of Time and wash your crimes away."

With a roar, they started moving deeper and deeper into the River of Time, slowly moving into a different dimension. The two battled bitterly in the River of Time, with countless waves crashing into the Nether Pseudo Emperor repeatedly.

The Nether Pseudo Emperor was greatly alarmed. Suddenly, he realized something. Humanity was not defenseless. They were not relying on only some Eternals. Wan Tiansheng was there.

In the River of Time, nobody could see how they were fighting. They moved further and further upstream. At one point, it even felt like they had reached the end of the river. Right at that moment, Wan Tiansheng looked around to confirm that they were alone. Good. There was nobody alone.

Then, another Wan Tiansheng walked out of his body. A devilish Wan Tiansheng.

"I am a devil. I shall slaughter all living beings."

Yet another Wan Tiansheng walked out. This Wan Tiansheng was wrapped in light, with a boundlessly gentle expression. He said, "I am a saint. I shall correct all living beings."

Another Wan Tiansheng walked out. With a boundlessly bitter expression, he said, "I am bitterness. Life is always bitter."

One Wan Tiansheng after another appeared. As of this moment, it was as though he had become a second Lan Tian. Or one could say that Lan Tian was the one who had been imitating him from the beginning.

Nether Pseudo Emperor's expression changed. Every single Wan Tiansheng was incomparably powerful, as powerful as the main body.

The main body of Wan Tiansheng said indifferently, "There are countless emotions in every living being. Love, hatred, fury, desire...the dao of human is all-embracing. Of the myriad daos, emotions dictate human nature."

He started chanting something Nether Pseudo Emperor couldn't understand. Abruptly, the numerous Wan Tianshengs charged forward.

While fighting the numerous Wan Tianshengs, it was as though the Nether Pseudo Emperor had gone mad. His emotions kept fluctuating as he alternated between crying, laughing, and other emotions repeatedly.

Bitterness, fury, remorse...

It was as though he had really gone mad.

No, he had indeed gone mad. The assault of countless emotions was driving him mad.

Wan the demonic human!

Wan the lunatic!

Just what bullshit dao was he walking?

Meanwhile, Wan Tiansheng was busy looking around, ensuring that they were really alone. He had taken the effort to drag the battle deep inside the River of Time.

Back when he traversed the river with Su Yu, he only showed the various versions of him with numerous books. Su Yu had not noticed, but the various books represented various emotions. Each book was a dao in itself.

At the time, Wan Tiansheng had showcased a carefree and honorable side.

But now, he was showing his demonic side. This was an era of freaks, and Wan Tiansheng was one of the best among them. There was a reason why Lan Tian liked him so much. Because he was just as mad.

Countless emotions erupted, and countless powers manifested.

Before long, the Nether Pseudo Emperor was already filled with wounds. Looking at Wan Tiansheng's main body while breathing heavily, he said fearfully, "What...manner of monster are you?"

"Monster?"

With the tone of a tired and disappointed sage, Wan Tiansheng said, "All living beings love attributing the unknown as a monster. Little do you know, you are the real monsters in my eyes. Su Yu has appointed me the director of the Clearfilth Office. You are filthy. Allow me to cleanse your filth."

And then, countless Wan Tiansheng with brooms appeared and started cleaning the Nether Pseudo Emperor.

Countless brooms rained down upon the Nether Pseudo Emperor.

There were so many brooms even the very sky above was blanketed.

The cleansing of filth.

The Nether Pseudo Emperor's dao trembled violently as it was peeled off one layer at a time. With a smile, Wan Tiansheng said, "You shouldn't be angry."

Instantly, Nether Pseudo Emperor lost his fury.

With that declaration from Wan Tiansheng, it felt as though he had lost the ability to feel angry. That emotion was suddenly stripped from his very being.

With another wave of his broom, Wan Tiansheng struck the dao and peeled another layer out.

"Do not be sad."

All sorrow vanished from Nether Pseudo Emperor.

Boom!

Countless brooms swept out, "Joyless and sorrowless. No fury and hatred. No desire and wish."

Layer after layer, the dao was peeled.

Toward the end, Nether Pseudo Emperor had turned into an unfeeling puppet, fighting with his instincts alone. With no emotions, he was no different from a puppet.

Once again, Wan Tiansheng looked around to make sure that they were around. He was done testing his dao. He did not want anyone to see this as they would merely see him as a monster.

He refused to acknowledge that he was a monster.

He would not show anyone his dao. Even Su Yu had only see the surface of his dao.

His dao was a tad bit...demonic in nature.

The Nether Pseudo Emperor continued fighting blankly. With one swing of his sword, Wan Tiansheng cut the dao apart. And instantly, Nether Pseudo Emperor's aura dropped. Next, a sword stabbed right through his forehead.

His sea of willpower was destroyed.

After putting away the corpse, Wan Tiansheng vanished with a flicker. It was time to leave. Nobody saw anything, right?

That'd better be the case.

***

Boom!

As Wan Tiansheng had moved upstream while fighting, the passage of time around him was much slower. Outside, barely any time had passed. Suddenly, more crimson clouds filled the sky and the rain of blood intensified.

The various battling experts looked in the Human Realm's direction. All they saw was a carefree Wan Tiansheng striding out of the River of Time. With a gentle smile on his face, he landed atop a mountain peak from the sky.

Noticing everyone's gazes, he cupped his fists and smiled at everyone. "Director Wan Tiansheng of Emperor Yu's Court's Clearfilth Office. Pleased to meet you. The Nether Pseudo Emperor has been executed. The first mission of the Clearfilth Office has been completed successfully."

"..."

Silence descended.

Even the other humans were alarmed.

Wan Tiansheng!

Killing the Nether Pseudo Emperor alone!

This...

Lan Tian had a wide beam as he said, "Tiansheng has not disappointed me! He is indeed the strongest under the heavens!"

Wan Tiansheng ignored Lan Tian and said, "Looks like the Human Realm isn't a good place to visit right now, my friends."

Immortal Realm.

The expressions of Tiangu and Talisman King turned incomparably solemn.

Killing the Nether Pseudo Emperor alone!

In the blink of an eye!

Wan Tiansheng!

From today onward, Wan Tiansheng would be one of the overlords of the Myriad Realms. That was the fifth Daofuse to die today. At the same time, a rumble rang out elsewhere. A gigantic wolf with three heads had lost all three of his heads. Great Qin King and Great Xia King had each severed one head, while the final head had been blasted apart by the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor with his bamboo stick.

The three heads were destroyed at almost the same time. The three-headed demon wolf had died in an instant. He was the sixth Daofuse to die today.

Even further away, the dishevelled Jiwu was roaring with desperation. Right at that moment, a massive palm stretched out of the Divine Realm and grabbed him. The old turtle slammed his shell onto the palm, nearly reducing it into mincemeat. The arm ignored the attack and forcefully dragged Jiwu back into the Divine Realm.
