After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Chapter 838: The Boundless Human Emperor

Chen Futu had always overlooked one thing: time.

If this coincides with the timeline on Earth, does it mean that hundreds of years have passed on Earth as well, and our parents are long gone?

Overwhelmed with longing, Chen Futu was filled with anxiety and was suddenly enveloped by immense loneliness and fear.

As my mood changed, the surrounding environment suddenly became concrete: the old courtyard of my hometown appeared. Everything in the house had become dilapidated, with cobwebs everywhere. There were two lonely graves overgrown with weeds in the courtyard, and everything outside the courtyard wall was gray and gloomy, with nothing visible.

"My Lord, wake up."

A voice whispered in his ear, but Chen Futu knelt before the grave in a daze, his eyes turning into a desolate, deep gray, as if the small courtyard of his old home had become a prison for his soul, like a dark abyss that suppressed all fluctuations of will.

"Wake up quickly."

"Chen Futu, return—"

"Hehehe, what a piece of trash."

The noise caused a ripple in Chen Futu's deep gray eyes. As time passed, the courtyard began to be swallowed by darkness. Now, only two lonely graves and him remained around him; nothing else existed.

"Husband."

"Father!"

"Aye!"

……

Just as Chen Futu's will completely sank into darkness, images of Chen Ling'er and the others appeared in his mind.

"Father, save me! They're all going to eat Ling'er! Father! Waaaaah!"

Chen Ling'er's voice flickered intermittently, tugging at Chen Futu's last shred of will.

He lifted his heavy eyelids and looked with difficulty, only to see a twisted giant hand pulling at Chen Ling'er's arms, trying to drag her into the depths of darkness.

"Father, save me! Father!" Chen Ling'er cried out and struggled, her beautiful princess dress stained with blood.

"Ling'er, my daughter..."

Chen Futu wanted to stand up, but he couldn't. He was suppressed so badly that he felt like his soul was being torn apart. It was as if even raising his eyelids took all his strength.

"Father, don't you want Ling'er anymore? They're going to eat me!"

Chen Ling'er shook her head, sobbing uncontrollably, when suddenly a black hand covered her mouth, dragging her into the darkness and disappearing in an instant, followed by her shrill screams.

"Ling'er?"

Chen Futu stared intently at the spot where she had disappeared, his pupils suddenly contorting as if a black hole were collapsing. "Release my daughter!"

A roar echoed through the desolate void, and a golden-red flame suddenly rose from Chen Futu's body. His aura, surpassing even that of a god, surged forth like a raging torrent, as if to destroy everything.

"Anyone who harms my Ling'er shall die!"

Click, click.

The dark space shattered, and five-clawed golden dragons transformed into divine rings that adorned his form once more.

The Emperor has returned.

Ding!

[Congratulations, host, on your complete transformation! Your physical body and will have officially entered the Boundless Realm]

The system's voice sounded, and the environment before Chen Futu returned to a white expanse. Then, the three corpses returned to one body, and once his will stabilized, he had already left the ancient hall and returned to Star Island.

Upon seeing this, Tianjizi, who had been waiting patiently, was overjoyed. "Well? Did you get it?"

"got it."

Chen Futu tossed the strange, teardrop-shaped substance over, and Tianjizi beamed with delight, "Excellent, excellent, as expected of the Human Emperor, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Chen Futu didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Tianjizi stopped him, asking, "Has something happened to you?"

Chen Futu suppressed his anger and said, "Thanks to you, I almost didn't make it back."

Tianjizi scratched his head awkwardly; it was indeed extremely dangerous inside.

For a long time, the Celestial Mystery Clan had tried to send people in, but they all failed. Even the Martial God couldn't get in.

The echoes inside are very abstract, and they will repeatedly produce illusions depending on the fluctuations of one's will. Only those with great fortune and perseverance can survive. In the end, the Heavenly Mystery Clan owes the Human Emperor a huge favor this time.

"It's good that you know."

After Chen Futu finished speaking, he turned and left. Tianjizi, however, smiled and said, "So you've finally reached that realm? The current Human Emperor is terrifyingly talented. His talent is simply amazing."

After a moment of reflection, Tianjizi didn't linger. He needed to restore Qin Xiaoman's eyesight immediately and then discuss with the ancestors whether to let her accompany the Human Emperor on his journey.

On the other side, after Chen Futu returned to his residence, a small, black pestle appeared in his palm, which was the one the evil corpse had found.

"System, what is this?" Chen Futu asked. The system replied, "Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Vajra Pestle."

"A vajra? What's it used for?"

"The host will know when he reaches the heavens."

The system kept it a secret, but it's not hard to guess that it must be a priceless treasure or something of great use.

Chen Futu put away the Vajra Pestle and focused his attention on himself. He discovered that the world of his will had transformed into a golden ocean, and the system-generated beauty was lying on a yacht in a sexy swimsuit, wearing sunglasses and drinking juice.

As for his physical body, Chen Futu clenched his fists. Just as the system had said, he had undergone a complete transformation. This experience was terrifying, but it was also a great opportunity.

With his current combat power, it's no exaggeration to say that he could shatter his pre-advancement self with a single punch. It seems that his previous so-called transcendence of the divine path was not the final step he had taken. This is true transcendence and transformation. His blood has even turned golden, and every drop of Ancestral Dragon blood contains a massive amount of life force. Calling it the Boundless Realm is indeed not an exaggeration.

In the days that followed, Chen Futu left the Tianji Clan because, according to Tianjizi, Qin Xiaoman's eyes would take some time to recover, but she would definitely be fully healed before the ten-year deadline.

Before leaving, Chen Futu inquired about the situation of Tianjizi and the ancestor of the Baiye clan. The two must have gone through a lot back then, but after the death of the Baiye ancestor, the man disappeared without a trace.

The Emperor said, "The Heavenly Mystery Child you mentioned was a Heavenly Mystery Divine Child of a certain generation. He has disappeared, and we have not been able to deduce his whereabouts. He may have gone to the Upper Realm without telling us, or he may have died. If the Human Emperor has time, he can visit the White Night Clan. They are currently hiding somewhere in the Central Continent, and their situation is not good. As for the Heavenly Mystery Disc, you will need it when you go to the Upper Realm, so take it with you. Once Xiaoman recovers, we will inscribe the array patterns that conceal the Heavenly Mystery for you."

Without further delay, Chen Futu rushed to the Central Region upon receiving the news.

The unexpected conflict between the Jia Clan and the Sea Clan is far from over. The two clans are vying for territory, and although they haven't engaged in a full-blown fight, the scene is rather unsightly.

They even forced Danshan to take sides.

Without Fu Shuang's protection, Danshan faced immense difficulties. Furthermore, their expertise in refining elixirs made them easy prey for various powerful forces, all of whom sought to recruit Danshan onto their own warships.

Upon learning of this, Chen Futu personally went to Danshan.
