Chapter 5228 Nine Vein Human Emperor

chapter 5228 nine vein human emperor

suddenly, the entire island began to shake violently, and a terrifying surge of emperor qi shot into the sky, causing even long chen’s soul to tremble. this aura was as powerful as that of the palace master.

long chen watched in shock as the island slowly rose out of the sea. expanding his divine sense, he discovered to his astonishment that the island was actually on the back of an enormous tortoise.

the sea churned, sending massive waves soaring into the sky. after that, four giant claws emerged from the depths, and long chen, along with the others, was completely stunned. none of them had ever seen such an enormous lifeform.

the huge island had countless buildings on top of it, but it was actually being dragged away by the tortoise as it swam deeper into the sea.

the sea demon human emperor fighting gu yang roared furiously, “old tortoise, you are the protector divine beast of my race! how can you flee when danger arises!? hurry up and kill them!”

however, the tortoise ignored the shout, continuing its steady swim into the ocean’s depths. an ancient voice then resonated through the air.

“your ancestors did me a favor long ago, and i promised your ancestors to protect you all for thirty million years. i’ve accomplished my mission. furthermore, i’ve overslept and protected you for an additional three hundred thousand years. our debts are already settled.”

boom!

suddenly, half a giant chain appeared on the tortoise’s back, binding it firmly to the surrounding eight islands.

“hmph, ignorant junior, do you think i’m your slave?” the tortoise’s voice turned cold as its body trembled.

with a single shake, the chains binding it and the island on its back shattered. it unleashed a terrifying power that raised an enormous tsunami.

“defend!” long chen shouted, raising his hand to unleash a crescent moon blade that sliced through the wave. this was a new technique evilmoon had taught him.

“nine-vein human emperor?” long chen and the others were startled. they didn’t know that the human emperor realm also had nine veins, and that above the human emperor realm was the divine emperor realm.

the tortoise suddenly paused in its retreat and slowly turned around. its massive head broke through the surface of the sea.

even though everyone was prepared, they were still shocked by the sheer size of its head, which resembled that of a drake, complete with two horns. primal chaos qi swirled within its eyes, sending a chill down long chen’s spine. this tortoise was incredibly powerful—capable of annihilating them with a mere breath.

“respected human race experts, great nine star heir, do you have any instructions for me? if not, i shall retreat to the depths of the endless desolation. i wasted much time here fulfilling an old promise, and in hindsight, i feel as though i was schemed against,” the tortoise said.

when it addressed long chen as a nine star heir, his heart shook. he hadn’t even used his astral energy in this battle, yet the tortoise instantly recognized him. clearly, it had encountered other nine star heirs in the past. it had indeed lived countless years.

long chen had many questions, but just as he opened his mouth, a bad feeling washed over him. he stood there blankly, not able to say a word.

“boss, this fellow seems a bit afraid of you. should we ask it to help us destroy the brahma pill valley?” guo ran suggested quietly.

it was a tempting idea, but long chen knew better. such tasks had to be done by his own hands. furthermore, he didn’t dare to interact too much with this tortoise. he knew he could learn many secrets from it, but he also knew those secrets would come with some terrifying karma.

also, that karma would not only affect him but everyone present. long chen might not fear karma for himself, but he couldn’t risk harming his comrades.

“let us meet again someday.” ultimately, long chen cupped his fists and bid it farewell.

the tortoise slowly turned and swam into the sea until it vanished. for a long time, everyone remained silent, unable to recover from their shock.

“senior, what are the veins of a human emperor?” asked long chen, turning to the earth cauldron for answers.

“since you already know the name of the divine emperor realm, there’s no need to worry about karma. let us discuss the profundities of the emperor realm,” replied the earth cauldron.
