<h4>Chapter 5292 Human Emperor Tribtion</h4>


    When Long Chen rose, Liao Yong instantly tensed, preparing forbat. Long Chen then raised a hand and pointed at him. In response, Liao Yong’s hand flew to the hilt of his sword, ready to strike.


    Everyone was silent. They also wanted to know just how strong this foreigner from beyond the Destion was.


    But instead of attacking, Long Chen simply pointed at Liao Yong and said indifferently, “You are smart. You instantly saw through me. Congrattions.”


    After saying that, Long Chen turned and left, leaving everyone stunned. Just when they were expecting an immense battle, Long Chen retreated.


    “Coward! Is your guilty conscience making you act weak?!” Liao Yong shouted after him.


    “If you say so,” Long Chen replied without even turning around. “As long as you don’t say my rod is weak, I can ept anything else.”


    Long Chen’s actions disappointed everyone gathered here. They had thought Long Chen was a supreme expert, but his unexpected retreat made him appear cowardly. Still, some looked at him with sympathy, feeling that Liao Yong had gone too far.


    Long Chen headed straight for Tianyu City’s Scripture Pavilion. Using Chu He’s status te, other than the ancient tower, he could go wherever he wanted in the city. He began scanning the books but found the collection far less impressivepared to what he had ess to at the High Firmament Academy. Nevertheless, he continued searching.


    However, he didn’t find anything he was interested in. Still, he knew there had to be a reason why Tianyu City could survive to this day. As he examined the shelves, a sneering voice interrupted his focus, “So, you’re here to steal Tianyu City’s secret arts? How sinister.”


    Long Chen didn’t even bother to look at the speaker and kept searching. But when he reached for a tome, the man swiftly grabbed it before he could.


    Only then did Long Chen nce at him—a stocky man with thick sideburns, staring at him provocatively


    Long Chen’s hand twitched, nearly pping him, but he managed to control the urge. After all, the man was only a Heaven Saint, and a p from Long Chen would likely turn him into a blood mist.


    That person sneered at Long Chen. “Gutless piece of shit, who do you think you are? You aren’t qualified to touch Tianyu City’s secret arts!”


    Long Chen simply looked at this guy. Thetter’s face was veryrge, and his position was also good. Long Chen’s hand was now unbelievably itchy, but he still managed to suppress his desire to p.


    He then walked out of the Scripture Pavilion and muttered, “Are they still not done? If this drags on, I won’t be able to endure much longer!”


    When he arrived at the za, the odd stares from the crowd reminded him of Liao Yong’s provocations. But before anyone could say anything, the tablet in his hand vibrated slightly, signaling something important. Excited, Long Chen quickly headed back to the tower. The guards checked his status te again and let him in.


    Inside the tower, a giant transportation formation had been prepared, and it was already filled with nine-vein Heaven Saints. They had been gathered secretly, so they weren’t sure of the reason for their summoning. They looked around in confusion, surprised to see so many others present, but kept quiet for the sake of the mission.


    When Long Chen arrived, Chu He also came out. He said, “Everyone, prepare yourselves. We are going to Heavenly Tribtion Valley.”


    “Heavenly Tribtion Valley? Patriarch, none of us have the ability to break through this bottleneck. What are we going to Heavenly Tribtion Valley for?”


    Heavenly Tribtion Valley was a special area where Tianyu City’s experts underwent tribtion. When the Tianyu Sword cleaved open this space, it turned into a minor world. As a result, it became a ce free from interference of the Gold Lion and Stone Spirit races.


    “Don’t ask so many questions. Just listen to orders!” barked Chu He.


    In truth, even Chu He didn’t know what was going on. Long Chen had instructed him to gather the group but hadn’t revealed any details.


    Everyone closed their eyes and entered their peak state, making sure that their essence, qi, and spirit were all at a maximum level.


    Once everyone was ready, Chu He activated the transportation formation, instantly teleporting the group to a barren valley filled with the lingering power of thunder. Thend was covered in lightning runes, and the pressure from the surrounding thunderforce made it difficult to breathe.


    “Everyone, consume this pill!” Long Chen called out, tossing a pill to each of them.


    The gathered experts looked at the pills in confusion. None of them had ever seen or consumed a true medicinal pill before. Hence, they hesitated, unsure if this wrinkled, unremarkable pill was the real deal.


    What they didn’t know was that there was a certain thing in this world called a pill veil.


    “Eat them!” shouted Chu He upon seeing their hesitation.


    Although Chu He didn’t know much about medicinal pills either, he trusted Long Chen. Hearing their patriarch give the order, these experts hastily consumed the pills.


    Once they did, their auras started to explode, and nine heaven veins appeared behind them, flying into the sky.


    In an instant, the bottlenecks that had held them back for years shattered, and their auras surged. Emperor qi flowed out of them as their nine heaven veins fused into one, transforming them into Human Emperors.


    Panic spread through the group.


    “This is bad!” someone shouted.


    Everyone was shocked, not having expected a single pill would break through their bottleneck.


    The heavens rumbled as tribtion clouds gathered above them. Lightning began to descend in a terrifying storm.


    “A collective tribtion?! We’re doomed!” screamed one of the newly ascended Human Emperors.


    After all, the power of a collective tribtion was far greater than that of individual tribtions. When multiple tribtions ovepped, their power rose exponentially, creating a nightmare scenario.


    Chu He’s heart jumped in his chest. He hadn’t expected the pills to work so quickly. He had thought the advancement would take days, not mere seconds. Now, they were facing an overwhelming heavenly tribtion.


    As lightning crashed down, Long Chen stepped forward, positioning himself against the oing storm of heavenly tribtion.
