The Heaven-Surveying Emperor

[Decisive killing + fast-paced + ordinary protagonist]

The heavens were stained with blood.

The last human powerhouse at the Emperor Realm had his head torn off by the Demon Emperor. Golden blood rained across the sky.

Humanity wept in anguish.

The earth burned, and demons ran rampant.

The human race was on the brink of extinction!

An old, white-haired human looked up at the sky and cried, “Who can come save our people?”

The Demon Emperor laughed arrogantly.

“You were abandoned by the Imperial Court long ago. Your only purpose is to offer up your flesh and blood so I can forge a true great-demon body.”

The Demon Emperor opened his enormous maw, ready to devour heaven and earth.

At this desperate moment,

the gates of the Astronomical Bureau in the capital opened, and a young man slowly walked out.

With his first step, he broke through the King Realm.

With his second step, he broke through the Emperor Realm.

With his third step, he rose another level and advanced to the Saint Realm.

The Demon Emperor was both shocked and furious.

“Who are you?”

“The Astronomical Bureau’s Zhang Taiping! You may call me by my imperial title, the Heavenly Emperor of the Astronomical Bureau!”

As soon as the words fell,

the young man pointed at the Demon Emperor from afar.

“Demons wreak havoc on the world. You must be executed!”

The power of heaven and earth descended.

The Demon Emperor’s body burst apart piece by piece as his life force ebbed away.

“You can’t kill me! The human Imperial Court and the demon race have a treaty. This world was ceded to the demons as territory…”

The void trembled, and the Heavenly Gate opened.

Behind it, countless heavenly soldiers and generals appeared and vanished from sight.

A solemn voice rang out across the sky.

“You mere humans of the lower realm dare defy the treaty between the Imperial Court and the demon race…”

The young man slowly raised his head.

“My fate is mine to command, not Heaven’s! The Imperial Court cannot decide whether I live or die. You sold out the human race’s interests. You’re unworthy of being human, and must be executed!”

The young man shot into the sky, charging alone through the Heavenly Gate with a blade in hand…

He beheaded every last god and Buddha beneath the heavens.
