Chapter 5097 Slapping a Human Emperor

Han Qianye was drawing lots from a wooden cask, determining the order in which various races would enter the spatial gate. As he reached in to pull out a piece of paper and started to open it, Long Chen suddenly appeared in front of him.

Han Qianye—the Domain Lord of the Glacial Heaven Domain and a grand Human Emperor—had never dreamed that a little Divine Venerate would dare to attack him. By the time he reacted, Long Chen’s palm had struck his face.

An explosive sound echoed through the entire plaza, leaving everyone stunned. Did someone just slap a Human Emperor in the face?

The disciples of the Golden Crow race were stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets at the sight of their kin slapping Han Qianye. Long Chen’s palm landed solidly on Han Qianye’s face, but the Human Emperor’s strength was such that the strike only caused his head to turn. While Han Qianye wasn’t injured at all, the force of the impact sent Long Chen flying backward.

“What are you doing?! Kill him!” The Golden Crow race’s experts were horrified. If they were known for slapping the Domain Lord of the Glacial Heaven Domain, they would not be able to bear the infamy.

“World Extermination Flame Lotus!”

Before they could react, a giant flame lotus erupted among them, engulfing the area in a devastating blaze. The powerful experts were caught completely off-guard and were instantly incinerated.

The sudden turn of events left everyone in shock. They turned their gazes toward the spatial gate to see a black-robed man grinning at Han Qianye.

Long Chen taunted, “You old fogey, the taste of being slapped isn’t bad, right?”

“DIE!” Han Qianye roared, his fury scorching as he reached toward Long Chen. However, Long Chen had stepped into the spatial channel, and Han Qianye’s strike missed its mark.

BOOM!

The void exploded from Han Qianye’s claw. A terrifying aura surged, shaking the very fabric of reality and leaving all the heavenly geniuses trembling in fear.

“Long Chen!” Han Qianye gritted his teeth in rage as he recognized the black-robed man. As a key target for the Brahma Pill Valley, Long Chen’s identity was well-known to him.

Now, Han Qianye’s fury reached a boiling point. Mo Nian’s slap to Lu Fan had lost them face, and now Long Chen’s slap was a blow to his pride. He was about to go insane.

His gaze roved around the remaining disciples of the Golden Crow race. After all, Long Chen had disguised himself as one of them.

However, the World Extermination Flame Lotus had wiped out the absolute majority of them. Of the over seven thousand Heavenly Chosens present, only a few dozen had survived. The sight left Han Qianye seething with frustration, as he had no one to vent his anger upon.

The Golden Crow race’s disciples had never expected someone to sneak into their ranks. Huo Linger, who had been using the Golden Crow Flame to conceal Long Chen’s aura, took advantage of their lack of vigilance. Her control over the flame had wreaked havoc among them, resulting in the near-total annihilation of their forces.

The attack had claimed hundreds of thousands of elite disciples and over seven thousand Heavenly Chosens in a single stroke, not due to their lack of strength but because they were caught off-guard.

The few who escaped with their lives were the absolute peak experts of the Golden Crow race, but even they were badly injured by the flames

Han Qianye had planned on killing them for their neglect, but seeing their state, he realized that the Golden Crow race was also a victim. He was unable to attack them now. After all, the Golden Crow race was one of the Brahma Pill Valley’s most obedient dogs.

“Everyone, immediately enter the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain! Anyone who brings back Long Chen’s head will get a Human Emperor divine weapon, and their faction will receive free pills for a thousand years!” roared Han Qianye.

“A Human Emperor divine weapon?”

“Free pills for a thousand years?!”

Hearing the rewards, the heavenly geniuses instantly went batshit as they charged toward the spatial gate.

“Long Chen, Mo Nian! You little brats, just wait! I don’t believe you can stay inside forever!” Han Qianye gritted his teeth, his killing intent raging.

There was no longer any order. Countless heavenly geniuses were charging through the gate. Thanks to the chaos, in less than an incense stick of time, the plaza was empty.

“Lock down the Glacial Heaven Domain! No one can enter or leave! If you let those two brats escape, just cut off your own heads!” Han Qianye barked before storming off.

Those eleven elders instantly went pale. They exchanged worried glances and immediately sprang into action. The entire Glacial Heaven Domain was soon shrouded in dark clouds, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense and oppressive.

...

“Hahaha, success, success!”

Actually, Long Chen hadn’t planned to cause such a ruckus. He intended to slip in with Bai Yingxue and the others peacefully.

Unfortunately, Mo Nian had shown off too much. If Long Chen didn’t do something similar, Mo Nian would surely laugh at him the next time they met.

Thus, after Mo Nian’s display, Long Chen decided to show off as well. He didn’t necessarily need to outdo Mo Nian, but he had to do something noteworthy or risk being called a coward by Mo Nian.

Luckily, the heavens seemed to look after him. At first, Han Qianye wasn’t standing at the gate, but above everyone else, making it impossible for Long Chen to attack him.

However, for some reason, as the devil race started entering the spatial gate, Han Qianye descended to the front of the spatial gate. Seeing his chance and judging the distance was correct, Long Chen made his move. He was extremely confident in his divine face-slapping art.

Just as Han Qianye was distracted by drawing lots, Long Chen launched his divine art. At that distance, even if Han Qianye had been on guard, he might not have been able to dodge Long Chen’s slap.

Long Chen laughed as he was transported in, his mood excellent. So what if Mo Nian had slapped a divine son? He had slapped a Human Emperor! That was a bigger deal.

Knowing that Mo Nian had come in, Long Chen was completely at ease. The next step was to see if he could join Mo Nian somehow. This fellow was quite crafty. He had been targeting the Brahma Pill Valley all this time and definitely had a greater understanding of them than Long Chen.

“Big brother Long Chen, quick, look!” Within the primal chaos space, Huo Linger cried out to him. When Long Chen looked inside the primal chaos space, his jaw dropped.
