The Peerless Emperor

The Black Corner Clan, which they had previously found difficult to manage, were merely a step forward for Lin Qian. With an outburst of Soul Power from within, he had vanquished all his opponents, a display of strength that exceeded their imagination.

Crack!

Just then, Lin Qian heard the sound of Spirit Wood breaking behind him. As he turned around, he was confronted by a massive Soul Beast charging towards him.

This Soul Beast had six limbs, and its collapse caused the earth to tremble. Its head was round, but on top of its forehead, there was a hard metal-like bone armor.

"Solid Top Beast!"

Seeing the Soul Beast that suddenly burst forth, everyone exclaimed in shock; obviously, the noise from the recent battle had disturbed this Soul Beast, leading it to charge towards the source of the sound.

Usually, when they encountered a Solid Top Beast, they could only close their eyes and await death. Watching this Solid Top Beast ramming towards Lin Qian, they were truly curious—how would he handle it, and could he possibly defeat the Solid Top Beast?

"Is this thing called a Solid Top Beast?" Hearing the astonished cries from behind him, Lin Qian eyed the Soul Beast that seemed extremely robust and his eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

However, Lin Qian indeed harbored no fear towards the Solid Top Beast. In fact, although this Soul Beast possessed the strength of the Sky Breaking Realm, it was truly no match for him.

Now Lin Qian had retracted his aura into his body, so the Solid Top Beast was utterly unaware of the kind of Human Clan being it was about to confront.

As the indestructible skull of the Solid Top Beast was about to collide, Lin Qian made his move.

Lin Qian just watched the charging Solid Top Beast, slightly sidestepped, lifted his right arm, and casually threw a punch.

Lin Qian's punch, devoid of any Soul Power wrapping, collided with the beast's skull. Cracks began to appear on the metallic sheen of the bone armor, quickly spreading until they covered the entire surface. A dominant, invincible force then transferred throughout the body of the Soul Beast.

Spurt!

Everyone stared dumbfounded as the Solid Top Beast, which they used to think was unbeatable, was directly smashed into a pile of blood and guts by Lin Qian's punch, spattering the nearby Spirit Wood and thoroughly staining it red.

The Solid Top Beast, previously unstoppable and charging recklessly, was blown apart by a punch from this young Human Clan man—who was unarmed and did not use any weapon.

The mixed rescue force, comprised of members from the Four Clans with the Red Horn Clan at the forefront, looked at Lin Qian, wondering if they were dreaming.

In their minds, apart from producing a lot of offspring, Human Clan figures didn't amount to much in strength. If not for their tenacity and hard work under adversity, which had earned their respect, they wouldn't have become solid allies.

But this Human Clan before them completely shattered their previous perception.

He effortlessly slaughtered the Black Corner Clan, who stood no chance in fighting back against him.

A Solid Top Beast, a Soul Beast that had always brought despair, was blown apart by him with his bare hands.

This member of the Red Horn Clan even doubted if Lin Qian was really from the Human Clan.

Lin Qian glanced at the Spirit Wood now stained red with blood, turned, and walked towards the mixed team from the Four Clans, completely concealing his aura; otherwise, they simply couldn't bear his presence.

However, as they saw Lin Qian approaching them, everyone looked at him with fear, swallowing their saliva continuously.

Indeed, in their eyes, Lin Qian's strength was unfathomable.

They felt like lambs awaiting slaughter before Lin Qian, their life and death entirely in his hands—if he wished to take their lives, it would be a mere flick of his wrist.

Moreover, it was still unclear whether Lin Qian was friend or foe to them.

Compared to other races, the members of the Human Clan looked at Lin Qian with slightly more relaxed eyes, for he was also part of the Human Clan, yet they were still quite nervous inside.

"In fact, with your strength, fighting these other races would have led you to nothing but death, so I intervened," Lin Qian said with a slight smile, noticing the look on the faces before him, "After all, I am the one who saved your lives. Is there really any need to be so frightened?"

Sigh!

Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, the crowd finally exhaled and relaxed.

From his words, it was clear he was not their enemy.

The most excited were undoubtedly those from the Human Clan, for the terrifyingly powerful Lin Qian was one of their own!

The Human Clan had always been criticized for their lack of strength.

Now, at last, a strong figure from their clan had appeared, and he looked so young.

The strongest among this group of the Human Clan, known by the Red Horn Clan as Liu Fang, was the first to step forward, "I am Liu Fang. Thank you, elder, for saving our lives."

Since Lin Qian was also part of the Human Clan, it was obviously much nicer for him, a fellow clan member, to greet him.

"I am only twenty-six years old; calling me 'elder' makes me sound too old," Lin Qian quickly said, waving his hand.

Lin Qian's words rendered Liu Fang speechless, his heart even more shocked, and when the others heard what he said, they were also startled.

They really hadn't expected him to be so young.

Soul Martial Artists were quite in control of their bodies, as the saying goes, "appearances are shaped by the heart." Your mindset can greatly affect your physical condition.

Just like some powerful individuals who have lived for hundreds of years can maintain a youthful appearance.

They had originally thought Lin Qian was such an aged elder, but to think that he was actually so young.

While Liu Fang was at a loss for words, a member of the Red Horn Clan stepped forward and bowed to Lin Qian, "Benefactor, may I ask if you have founded a nation, as a sovereign?"

"Indeed, I am the ruler of the Huaxia Empire, the Emperor," Lin Qian nodded, not concealing anything from them.

And there was no need for him to conceal.

Lin Qian's words left everyone with a puzzled look, as they had never heard of the so-called Huaxia Empire, neither the title he claimed nor the name of the emperor.

"In that case, with such immense strength and esteemed status, addressing you as 'Lord' would not be inappropriate."

Following the words of the Red Horn Clan member, Liu Fang beside him clapped his hands in agreement, "Barret, you are right."

"Lord, thank you for saving our lives!" At that moment, over three hundred escorted individuals also showed gratitude, bowing and shouting to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian did not shy away, directly accepting their gratitude; only this would bring them peace of mind.

However, soon after, Lin Qian suddenly took out a token that flickered with a golden glow.

When Lin Qian's Soul Consciousness entered the token and he learned of the situation, his expression drastically changed.

Elders, there's been an incident!
