Chapter 1324: Strong Body
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Moment Queen saw the black hole and understood why Ming Xing Emperor was so keen to come forward and fight Han Sen, despite the stunning display in which the human had mercilessly slaughtered four emperors.
In the black hole, time and space were distorted. It would twist like a vortex and swallow whatever came near. If Han Sen was pulled inside, he'd be killed. The occurrences of someone surviving a black hole were rare.
She wouldn't be sad if Han Sen died, but his death would result in her own. And of course, she couldn't allow that.
Ming Xing Emperor was cocky and boisterous, and he loudly proclaimed, "You were a fool to employ time and space before, as I am the ruler of them."
But after that, a gold blade came flying out of the black hole. It was carried by a human hand. Then, Han Sen and his ever-cool, calm, and composed face were standing before Ming Xing Emperor.
"Impossible!" Ming Xing Emperor's face changed, and he wished to quickly cast another black hole.
But it was too late for him to do so, for the gold sword had already hit him.
Han Sen vanished once more and reappeared directly behind the spirit.
Ming Xing Emperor was frozen, acknowledging the slip he had made. His eyes were open wide in fright, as if they had been pinned in place.
Roar!
Ming Xing Emperor's black dragon screamed, as the mighty beast felt its entire body split in two. It collapsed to the ground. Ming Xing Emperor's body was sliced in two as well, sending him right back to the spirit stone where he first started.
Berserk Super Creature Black Dragon killed. Beast soul gained. The flesh of this creature is inedible, but you may harvest its Life Geno Essence. Consume its Life Geno Essence to gain zero to ten super geno points randomly."
And then there was silence. No one understood how Han Sen had managed to survive the traversal of a black hole, and many rubbed their eyes to ensure they had not been seeing things. Ming Xing Emperor really had been killed, just like that.
Han Sen wasn't just strong in body, his attacks were lethal, too. He had killed five emperors so far, with each being felled by a single strike. People started to believe they had stepped on the toes of a human who was even stronger than Godslayer Luo's heir.
No other spirit dared approach this time, knowing they'd each likely meet the same grizzly end that had been delivered to the others.
Moment Queen herself was in utter shock by the frightening power Han Sen had demonstrated.
It wasn't just the skills of space and time that were excellent, it was who he was. Every aspect of him had been honed and refined. He was a fierce warrior unlike any she had seen before.
When Moment Queen was at her strongest, she was nowhere near Han Sen's level of might and strength. He was operating on a whole different field of play.
"How did he manage to do that?" Moment Queen asked herself, as she looked at him with wide-eyed surprise. She was entirely still, having been stunned so severely.
"He traversed the black hole. He went into it and came out of it," Flower Empress said. Her voice was dull.
The woman did not say a single word now. Perhaps this was unexpected even for her, and she too was in shock.
Gu Demon Emperor frowned and said, "It is just as No God Emperor said; he is horribly strong. We will have to wait until Ruin Emperor gets here before trying again."
"Maybe not," the three-eyed spirit said.
No God Emperor looked at him, unsure of what he meant by this.
The three-eyed spirit, acknowledging their confusion, eased their wonder by saying, "Look at that colorful ship; if East Empress was willing to help, this would be an easy task. And if we all fight together, striking at the same time, we should be able to get him."
"I don't think she'll fight. She herself has no grudge against Godslayer Luo. And that aside, she is almost a demi-god," Gu Demon said.
"She owes me a favor, you know. I'd be willing to call it in," the three-eyed spirit said.
Gu Demon Emperor said, "Asking her would be a fine thing. And you're right, we might not have to wait for Ruin Emperor, after all."
"I'll go and ask her, then," the three-eyed spirit said, before flying over to her ship.
"Greetings, My Empress." The three-eyed spirit did not set foot on the ship, thinking it would be rude.
"Board, if you wish to speak," the woman said.
The three-eyed spirit stepped onto the ship and looked around, telling her, "I have a favor I would like to ask of you."
"Spit it out before you drone," the woman said.
The three-eyed spirit said, "That human is so arrogant. He makes a mockery of us by killing us repeatedly. He rivals the strength of Godslayer Luo, and so I would like to ask that you join us in a collaborative effort to strike, all at the same time."
"If you want something done, do it yourself!" Flower Empress butted in to say.
"I would if I could," the three-eyed spirit said with a faint and embarrassed smile, as all three of his eyes looked away.
East Empress responded by saying, "I made a vow not to kill. I cannot help you, I apologize."
The three-eyed spirit looked disappointed, but then she said something else. "I haven't forgotten that which I owe you. Take this; perhaps this will settle the debt."
After that, something just appeared in front of the three-eyed spirit.
He grabbed hold of it and said, "Thank you so much! I will kill this human for the restoration of our pride!"
"This is a repayment. What you do with it, and whether you succeed in killing your enemy, is no concern of mine," East Empress said.
The three-eyed spirit was not hurt by these words, he just gracefully said his goodbyes and left. He returned to the sides of No God Emperor and Gu Demon Emperor.
"Did she say yes?" Gu Demon Emperor asked.
"No, but she gave me this. With it, we can summon everyone," the three-eyed spirit said.
The two spirits looked at it and said, "It's a Summoning Bell? What did you do for her that warranted such a gracious gift?"

The summoning bell was the entire reason East Empress had become as famous and well-respected as she had. The summoning bell must have been in the top ten greatest geno treasures of the Third God's Sanctuary.
Three-Eye Emperor must have done her a great favor to be given this as a gift.
Three-Eye smiled and said, "What I did doesn't matter, but now that I have the bell, we should strike."
After that, the three-eyed emperor put out his hand and balanced the bell on his palm. A red ribbon had been delicately tied upon the handle.
Three-Eye Emperor looked on it with a strange look, or at least, that was how it appeared to others. In truth, he was operating it. And as he did so, a number of names flashed across the ribbon of the bell.
The handheld bell began to shake and chime all by itself, and each time it did, it was like a pulse. A number of names would quickly appear, slow down, and then stop. But when it moved again, more and more names appeared, different from before. There were countless numbers, and they were revealed to be the titles of the king spirits that populated the Third God's Sanctuary.
The king spirits in the vicinity began to see a light appear in front of them.
"Summoning Sign?" Many king spirits saw it and spoke, in great surprise. It was asking them to assault Moving Star Shelter.
The spirits accepted the light that hovered before them, and they were bestowed a buff.
Han Sen was going to provoke more spirits to come and fight him, but before he could even issue the welcome of a challenge, he realized he did not have to say anything. A scary lifeforce was already coming his way, and he could feel its intimidating presence nearby.
Many spirits came stampeding towards the shelter, with those spirits also bringing their subordinates in accompaniment. They ranged from lesser spirits to super creatures.
Han Sen thought it was strange, seeing so many spirits co-operate like so.
Their numbers were frightening, too. And even if Han Sen was to survive the tide of spirits, there'd be no guarantee his companions could. Xie Qing King was already worn out, so the chances of his survival were up in the air.
Still, he knew it wasn't the time for panic. Instead, he remained calm and simply said, "Save me, sister."
Moment Queen understood Han Sen was going to stand firm and hold his position, despite the direness of the circumstances and the futility of even trying. But the spirits approached as if the entire attack was one large, pre-meditated, painstakingly crafted scheme for a conquest they had all co-operated on.
Moment Queen thought to herself, "You should have left when I told you. Crying out for your sister won't help anything."
Even Xie Qing King was looking glum. This was their first time to see Xie Qing King with a gloomy disposition. Their side had too few to stand strong and endure the agonizing wash of that tsunami of spirits that was to beset them.
Snowball made sure to get all snug inside his white sphere of protection, while Baby Ghost began to stagger backwards, thinking, "Why did he ever choose to fight? Our fate was sealed before any of this fighting began! Why don't we run? Why don't we flee?!"
The spirits were initially afraid of running headlong into battle against Han Sen. But seeing so many of their compatriots get together for a combined assault, bravery was instilled within them. They felt the tingle of courage course through their bodies, and when they moved in unison with the other spirits, they felt the desire to do it again and again until they were all rushing forward without fear.
"How could the empress give Three-Eye Emperor a summoning bell?" Flower Empress asked, semi-rhetorically. She looked sad when saying it.
East Empress heard her and said, "I owed him one."
...
Gu Demon Emperor watched the army of spirits run towards the shelter and sighed. He said, "It is no wonder this bell is looked on as one of the most remarkable geno treasures to ever exist."
As the spirits spoke amongst each other, they were then surprised to see a purple-haired lady appear. She walked out of the shelter, as if to confront the ravenous army of spirits that were coming.
This was Godslayer Luo's heir, the one they had all assembled to seek and destroy.
"There she is! That's her! That's Godslayer Luo's heir," Gu Demon Emperor spoke aloud.
Many spirits noticed the coming of the purple-haired lady, and they knew that was the heir they had come to kill.
No God Emperor and the others hadn't fought yet, on this day.
Lotus Empress then appeared, as if she was leading Zero out from behind.
Lotus Empress heard Han Sen gently call for help, and she lifted her Night Gem and turned the entire region black. Darkness enveloped the shelter and encompassing lands.
All the spirits that were valiantly charging forward were shocked. It was as if they had all been blinded. It did not matter how great their vision was, for the black that took them could not be cut through by any manner of vision.
Some fire-element spirits tried casting fire spells, in the hopes it would help illuminate the area. But they were shocked to see nothing. The darkness seemed to coat and choke everything, and no fire was strong enough to wash the black away or even reveal the grass they knew was underfoot.
Xie Qing King and Moment Queen were just as shocked as the attackers. The spirits and super creatures were beginning to panic, and they started to move about in hysteria, like headless chickens.
"What are you waiting for, Zero? Do your thing," Han Sen prompted her to start attacking, and then he drew his own swords.
The Night Gem was a Demi-God Geno Core. It confused enemies by blanketing their world in pitch black darkness. It did not deal damage, but it didn't have to, considering the pain Zero and Han Sen were going to unleash.
The only downside to using it was that the effects only lasted ten minutes.
Not wanting to waste a single second, Han Sen was keen to rush forward as quickly as he could and start attacking. He had to bring that horde down as quickly as he could.
Moment Queen and the rest of Han Sen's companions also joined the fray. They ran towards the blind, panicking army and targeted the super creatures amongst them, first and foremost.
The entire shelter was painted red following this. A river of blood, muddied with a thousand mangled corpses, began to form.
