It was forcefully pressed back until it became a Sun of Dawn again.
Only the cracks on it were filled, and it became unstable from its previous stability.
After that, it disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was in the hand of the bound Human Emperor who had raised his hand.
The sky fell silent.
The world fell silent.
Countless gazes instinctively gathered on the Human Emperor.
These gazes held shock, disbelief, and fear, all mixed together.
The Human Emperor was the only Ruler of the human race at the present. Everyone here naturally knew about this. It was just that… in the past 3,000 years since the Human Emperor succeeded the throne, he had never made a move.
As a result, humans only had a simple understanding of the combat strength of a Ruler through the description in ancient books.
After all, almost all the cultivators here had never seen another Ruler in their lives.
Coupled with the existence of the gods, one would instinctively look down on those who were in the realm of Rulers.
Until now.
"Ruler…"
"This is the power of a Ruler!!"
"Soul Accumulation is like an ant in front of it! If even the Ruler is so powerful, then wouldn't the god…"
Gasps rang out from all directions.

'Although it's far inferior to Li Zihua, it's indeed the combat strength of a Ruler…'
Xu Qing mumbled inwardly.
At that moment, the Human Emperor's expression was as calm as ever. He held the Sun of Dawn and his gaze landed on the gloomy Eleventh Prince.
"Little Eleven, is there anything else?"
The Human Emperor spoke calmly.
"I don't know if he has or not, but I do!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out from the edge of the altar behind the Human Emperor.
In that instant, many gazes landed on the person who spoke, and their gazes were mostly filled with surprise.
This was because the person who spoke wasn't the Eleventh Prince but… the Tenth Prince who was standing together with the Eldest Prince and the Fourth and Fifth princes!
Tenth Prince, who was chosen to suddenly join before the ancestral worship, had always had a look of horror on his face, as though he couldn't believe everything that was happening before him.
However, now, his expression was unprecedentedly calm. As he spoke, his gaze met the Human Emperor's.
The Human Emperor wasn't surprised.
"Have you decided to fight me in the end? You could have had other choices."
The Tenth Prince fell silent. After two breaths, he calmly spoke.
"Didn't you suddenly have this prince I possessed join the ancestral sacrifice to draw me out and face you in battle?"
"I indeed have other choices, but the promise they gave me left me with no other choice. Since that's the case, I'll follow their wishes and test your combat strength first."

The color of the sky changed and storms appeared.
This aura stirred the wind and clouds, causing the Ancient Sovereign Planet and even the outside world to rumble.
Under this aura, the Nihility trembled and even the Soul Accumulation was suppressed. This was because that was… the aura of a Ruler.
It was on par with the power displayed by the Human Emperor earlier.
The Tenth Prince's demeanor calmed down after a few breaths and his face changed.
He had one eye which was on his forehead and his skin was purple-black.
It was exactly the same as the four Sky Devouring Race members.
"Human Emperor!"
The Tenth Prince slowly spoke.
"Sky Devouring Emperor."
The Human Emperor said calmly.
The auras of the two Rulers collided in the sky, tearing through the void and shaking the world.
The battle was about to erupt at any moment.
However, at this moment, the Eleventh Prince's eyes abruptly revealed a dark glint. He lifted his hand and took out a small silver bottle.
"Father, I will add something to your battle with the Sky Devouring Emperor to make it even more perfect."
"After you succeeded the throne, although you didn't make a move, before you succeeded the throne, you had many life- and-death battles with the nonhumans. Over the years, I spent a steep price and huge efforts to gather a drop of your blood!"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"I use this blood to form a life curse!"
The Eleventh Prince crushed the silver bottle in his hand.
The silver bottle shattered into a large number of fragments, revealing a drop of blood.
As soon as this blood appeared, the dense intent of the human imperial bloodline surged into the sky.
After everyone sensed it, their expressions changed.
That was indeed the blood of the Human Emperor!
As for the shattered pieces of the silver bottle, they didn't fall to the ground. Instead, they surrounded the blood. They spun rapidly, transforming into silver maggots that let out heart-
rending sounds and rushed into the blood.
After a frenzy of devouring, they morphed into a grotesque centipede, which promptly devoured the maggots in one gulp.
Then, with a flick of its tail, the centipede morphed into a sinister skeleton, its gaping maw swallowing itself whole.
As the skeleton collapsed, a small black figure emerged, exuding a divine aura. It spewed forth a cloud of black fog towards the disintegrating skeleton.
This fog enveloped the skeleton. After that, the small figure's entire body burned and it also entered the fog.
The black fog contracted intensely and finally morphed into a drop of… black blood.
The stench of decay was especially intense on the black blood.
One could even vaguely see a blurry figure within the black blood. From the looks of it, it was the Human Emperor!
A dense curse intent was formed.
This wasn't a simple curse!
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He could tell that this was a terrifying divine curse!
A smile emerged on the Eleventh Prince's face as he looked at the Human Emperor and voiced softly.
"Father, I still have two gifts for you. This is one of them. If you can persevere, you'll be able to see my last gift."
