I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 611 Xiao Chen: I Am Not a Divine Envoy, But an Immortal’s Disciple
Previously on I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors?...
Bailu cocked its head slightly and replied, "Answering Master, this disciple has made some progress, yet it still falls short of the requirements to join your guidance."
"Oh."
Upon hearing that, Chu Feng's interest piqued right away, so he inquired, "Allow this Seat to witness your achievements."
"As you wish."
With those words, a beam of light shone from Bailu's form. In an instant, its shape began shifting into a more humanoid figure, with arms and legs forming properly, though fur still covered the extremities.
"Impressive work."
Chu Feng nodded approvingly and remarked, "You've yet to fully transform into a human, but your advancement is nothing short of miraculous in speed. Continue at this pace, and in no more than three months, you'll achieve a complete human body and become this Seat's pupil."
As an instructor, offering timely motivation to a devoted learner is essential. Besides, the eager student before him burned with genuine passion for growth.
"Gratitude for your kind words, Master. This disciple vows to cultivate diligently and aim to form a human shape without delay." Bailu's expression brimmed with resolve as it spoke.
Chu Feng fanned himself lightly with the feather fan, declaring, "Excellent. This Seat anticipates the moment you succeed in your transformation."
"Understood."
Bailu dipped its head in agreement, then added, "This disciple bids farewell for now."
Chu Feng responded, "Proceed."
Meanwhile, over at the Wolf Fang Tribe, the glow of destiny faded from Xiao Chen. He glanced across the gathered crowd and uttered calmly, "All of you, stand."
"Our thanks, Divine Envoy."
The Wolf Fang Tribe's Great High Priest expressed deep reverence on his face.
"This Seat holds no title as Divine Envoy. Rather, this Seat serves as a disciple of an Immortal, journeying through the world to propagate the Sword Dao."
Xiao Chen's tone remained steady, yet it echoed clearly to every ear among the Wolf Fang Tribe's humans. Immortals were unfamiliar to them, but swords they knew well—though in their eyes, such blades seemed too plain, failing to harness their innate strengths.
The Great High Priest ventured cautiously, "If not a Divine Envoy, then why does divine radiance envelop you? And what exactly is this Immortal you mention?"
Xiao Chen showed no irritation, merely curving his lips upward as he explained, "An Immortal surpasses even the gods in supremacy."
These words sent a shockwave through the assembly!
Voices erupted from the countless humans of the Wolf Fang Tribe, crying out, "Blasphemy against the Wolf God demands the Wolf God's wrath!"
"Great High Priest, seize this foolish one!"
"..."
Yet, astonishingly, the Great High Priest—ever the most devout to the Wolf God—refrained from acting. He lifted his hand instead, urging silence among the throng.
This gesture left every tribesman stunned. Though fury boiled within them, none dared direct it toward the Great High Priest.
"Divine Envoy, is the deity you revere truly mightier than our Wolf God?"
The Great High Priest posed the query with a heart full of trepidation.
"What makes you certain my Master outstrips your Wolf God in power?" Xiao Chen countered with a grin.
"Your blasphemy went unpunished by the Wolf God. Our Wolf Fang Tribe dwells entirely within the Wolf God's domain; any who offend face swift retribution."
With the Great High Priest's declaration, faith crumbled across the Wolf Fang Tribe in that instant. They could scarcely fathom a being surpassing their Wolf God in this realm.
A faint smile played on Xiao Chen's lips as he gazed into the nearby shadows. He murmured softly, "Hidden ally in the darkness, will you emerge on your own, or must this Seat force you forth?"
Before his words fully settled, a fierce gale of demonic energy howled from the horizon, carrying boundless demonic qi in its wake.
The humans of the Wolf Fang Tribe sensed this overwhelming presence and dropped to their knees en masse, chanting wildly, "The Wolf God descends!"
"The Wolf God descends!"
"..."
The Great High Priest too bowed deeply toward the oncoming wind, proclaiming reverently, "We greet the Wolf God."
Soon after, the demonic gale fully subsided.
A massive wolf demon, stretching dozens of zhang in length and over ten zhang tall, bore a crescent mark upon its brow. It rode upon a cloud of demonic mist as it approached.
Half Saint Realm Wolf Demon!
Xiao Chen appraised the creature before him silently in his thoughts.
The wolf demon, perched high, scrutinized the unfamiliar human cultivator below. This one's aura and vital force stirred a savage hunger within it, urging it to devour him whole.
It sensed intuitively that consuming this human would propel its cultivation to new heights.
Yet, this cultivator stood utterly unfazed by its divine pressure.
The wolf demon wasted no further thought and demanded, "Human, in the presence of this God, why remain standing?"
Xiao Chen let out a cold huff, "Does a fledgling Half Saint Realm wolf demon like you deserve this Seat's obeisance?"
"Bow and yield to this Seat at once, and perhaps this Seat will grant you mercy. Harbor any foolish notions, and this Seat will turn you into tonight's feast."
Hiss...
The Wolf Fang Tribe's humans drew sharp breaths at his audacity. They never dreamed this stranger would challenge their exalted Wolf God, foreseeing a gruesome fate for him.
Many pondered inwardly, "Should the Wolf God devour this intruder, at least it spares us."
While the humans reeled in shock, the wolf demon's fur bristled in rage. Across ten thousand li, this land bowed to the Moon Wolf Emperor as divine ruler, with all humans offering worship.
For some upstart human to assail its authority thus—it must devour him in the most brutal fashion to maintain its dominion unchallenged.
"Insolent human, you've incensed this God. Behold true heavenly retribution today!"
As its roar faded, the crescent mark on the wolf demon's forehead glowed, lifting gradually into the air. In a flash, the moon ascended, plunging the land into night, bathed solely in its silvery light over the Wolf Fang Tribe.
"Divine Punishment!"
The wolf demon bellowed, unleashing a beam of moonlight straight at Xiao Chen.
"Mere parlor tricks."
Xiao Chen remarked dismissively while forming a sword seal with his fingers, thrusting lightly toward the lunar orb above. A surge of sword qi erupted from his digits, streaking skyward.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion followed, shattering the moon in the heavens. Darkness lifted as daylight flooded the ground once more.
Silence gripped the Wolf Fang Tribe; even the wolf demon froze in disbelief. Its vaunted attack had been effortlessly nullified by this human cultivator.
Xiao Chen eyed the dazed wolf demon and proclaimed haughtily, "The profound Dao's true nature demands proper wielding. Observe closely—this Seat shows it but once."
With that, an enormous azure sword materialized behind Xiao Chen. Its emergence warped the very skies and earth in hue.
Most humans in the Wolf Fang Tribe collapsed unconscious, while the Great High Priest quivered on his knees. Terror gripped him as he reflected, "Could this... be the genuine deity of humanity?"
Gazing upon that colossal blade, escape dominated the wolf demon's every thought. This human cultivator terrified it beyond measure, eclipsing every human it had encountered.
As the wolf demon wheeled to flee, a disdainful voice pierced its ears.
"Flight now comes far too late."
Xiao Chen commanded, and the sword obeyed. A slash of sword qi grazed the wolf demon's form mid-flight, severing head from body in a crimson spray across the firmament.
