Chapter 484 - Desolation

Right when the sword flew away, Zhong Yue quickly hugged Xuan Yuan in his arms as they plummeted down from the sky. The Pure Yang lightning instantly struck them, coming in strong and fast.

They were in the Pure Yang lightning zone, and with their Yuan Shen still haven’t reached the Pure Yang state, they would naturally attract the lightning. Although Zhong Yue’s mortal body allowed him to withstand the lightning, Xuan Yuan was still a feeble child who couldn’t even talk properly.

Zhong Yue curled himself like a ball, fully covering Xuan Yuan with his body. He took the brunt of the force and brought Xuan Yuan safely down to the ground.

As soon as they alighted down, the crowd has swarmed over. Without any hesitation, Fu Bao snatched her baby boy back from Zhong Yue and stood as far away from him as possible. The mother then said to Xuan Yuan, “From now on, stay as far away from Uncle Zhong as possible, understand?”

Jun Sixie, Shui Zian and the others and surrounded Zhong Yue in the middle; not even a mosquito could fly out from the circlement.

“BRAT! Didn’t you say you’d be good?!” Shui Zian grabbed Zhong Yue’s clothes and lifted him up from the ground, “You … you! Now our Swords Gate Golden Summit is destroyed, what are you going to do!? What are you going to do!?”

Before Zhong Yue could answer, Jun Sixie, whose face held a dark and gloomy expression, stepped forward and chided, “Now even our Swords Gate godly spirit has run away because of you! Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you are really good! That’s our Swords Gate’s first headmaster. Look at that, he’s got nowhere to stay anymore!”

“My Triple Yang Palace is destroyed!”, Elder Leishan said, “Seal Suppression Hall Hall Master, you have to compensate for my loss!”

“My Peach Blossom Hill has also crumbled!”

“Four Ken Beast and Shen Dragon are gone as well!”

“The Swords Gate Mountain is now considerably shorter than before! And the Golden Summit is gone!”

……

The complaints continued to stream into his ears, and Zhong Yue quickly said, “Please, people! Please, calm down! Let me explain!”

The crowd then calmed down and Zhong Yue explained everything to them, he said, “This sword is a gift from the Human Sovereign, it’s a treasure for Xuan Yuan. And now that I’ve brought Xuan Yuan to it, it will surely have to come out and be with its master.”

Jun Sixie asked curiously, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, are you sure that sword is a treasure from the Human Sovereign to Xuan Yuan? Then why did the sword fly away just now?”

The other higher-ups also had the same doubts. The godly sword was really incredible, being able to even scare away the first headmaster’s godly spirit. If the Great Wilderness could have such a weapon stronger than the other races’ saint weapons, the humans would be safer!

But the sword just flew away, it didn’t look like a sword given to Xuan Yuan by the Human Sovereign, this couldn’t help but to make them doubt.

Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes and he said while smiling, “There is another use for this sword, and that is to kill the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor. The sword is now in the emperor tomb to kill Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, and it will return to Xuan Yuan after its work is done.”

The whole of Swords Gate was then in shock, their hearts thumped heavily as they thought, Kill Bi Xie Celestial Emperor?

As the emperor that once ruled the Ancestral Star and the surrounding planets, Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s divine court was in the West Barren. The many celestial races in West Barren and the myriad demon races across the sea were all descendants of his subjects!

On the other hand, the human race in Ancestral Star were taken as slaves and livestock for those races. The humans were even lower in status than the monster race.

The Bi Xie Celestial Race back then was exalted as the highest of royalty; and now, Zhong Yue was talking about the most puny human race killing the most royal Bi Xie Celestial Race?

The mere thought caused the hearts of all Qi Practitioners across Swords Gate to burn with fervor. They felt their blood boil in excitement and their hearts palpitating!

Although it wasn’t them who would be doing it, it was the godly sword of the Human Sovereign, they were still proud of their own race!

When the normal Qi Practitioners were feeling the proudness in them, the higher-ups like Jun Sixie, Shui Zian and the others have thought further than that. If the Human Sovereign’s godly sword returns to Swords Gate after it killed Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, wouldn’t that mean that Swords Gate would have an emperor-level divine weapon?

With this divine weapon, the human race wouldn’t have to be afraid of the other races anymore!

The South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race, the West Barren Xiao Mang Celestial Race, they all dared to invade Swords Gate only because Swords Gate was weak, it wouldn’t be able to fight against them.

But it would be different from now on, with this divine sword on the human’s side, who dared to touch Swords Gate anymore?

“That sword, is it really the Human Sovereign’s?” Jun Sixie couldn’t help but ask again.

“I think it is, I guessed so…” Zhong Yue hesitated as he answered.

Jun Sixie’s face turned dark while Zhong Yue laughed and said, “I guessed it. But when Xuan Yuan awakened the sword, my guesses turned out to be true. This sword should’ve been left behind by the Human Sovereign, its here to kill Bi Xie Celestial Race when he revives. After that, this sword can guard the human race while we continue to grow stronger.”

Jun Sixie heaved a breath of relief; in just such a short while, her emotions undulated up and down numerous times. She was nearly scared to death by the earth-shaking incident Zhong Yue had stirred up and was overjoyed by the news Zhong Yue had delivered, then was shocked again. This was really a challenge for her heart’s endurance.

If it’s the other headmaster, they’d be troubled by Junior Martial Brother Zhong to death already! Jun Sixie thought of all the things Zhong Yue made and she lamented in her heart, Ever since Junior Martial Brother Zhong went to the demon race, trouble never stopped rushing in. First, he caused the eight saint demon race’s saint clan masters’ death, then he killed Demon Saint. When he returned, he has gone to the South Barren and sliced the Fiery Capital, then killed countless experts there. This has started a war between the South Barren and Great Wilderness while he then ran to North Barren again, severing Xiao Zhongjin, Xiao Zhongguang. Then back to West Barren, stealing the stuffs there along with Junior Martial Sister Jun…

Other than that, he even went to the Kun Lun Realm, bringing back 32 divine herbs and 14 divine weapons! It hadn’t even been a month since he returned to Swords Gate when he awoke the godly sword to kill Bi Xie Celestial Race, even tearing Swords Gate Mountain to the ground…

Thankfully, Zhong Yue didn’t tell her that he had nearly killed all of the Qi Practitioners in the Returning Ruins. He didn’t tell her that he’d butchered all of the gods’ disciples to leave only fewer than five remaining. Otherwise, Jun Sixie might have gone crazy already.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and looked at the West Barren.

The Great Wilderness was about a 100,000 miles away from the West Barren emperor tomb. This was a distance that not even the Imminent Deity magnate’s vision could reach, but with the Fuxi Divine Eye, Zhong Yue was able to see the images far away from them as clearly as though he were just right there.

Moments later, he laid his sights on the divine court in the West Barren. Cries and shouts reverberated through the sky as the many celestial experts were running away from the divine court. It seemed like they had seen something incredibly scary!

Then, Zhong Yue saw some of the experts disintegrating in mid-air. Their mortal bodies, Yuan Shen, soul weapons and every other thing else were disintegrating into the smallest particles!

The mountains were trembling and the earth quaked, it felt like at any second now, the whole place would crumble.

Suddenly, appallingly strong auras burst out from the divine court, and godly rays shot up into the sky.

The palaces in the divine court were crumbled, and it was a mess all around. The demon godly spirit, Shi Tuo could be seen within the dust. He had three heads that were the size of mountains, making him incredibly conspicuous in the ruins.

The demon god was bellowing in rage, there wasn’t the placid and grand air in him anymore and he appeared to be incredibly shabby. Demonic skills were unceasingly striking out from his fingers with every strike leaving a dimensional rift in the sky that would recover almost instantaneously.

After Shi Tuo, there were the other figures rushing out from the divine court.

There was the Zhong Li grand ancestor, Lord Xia. He stood on the top of two fire dragons and with the Eight Dragons Heaven Suppression Cauldron, he was looking like a brawny barbarian!

While Lord Kun was wielding half the Divine Wing Saber, he was changing between the Kun form and Peng form unceasingly, pouncing and striking fiercely.

There was also a black-robed demon, which would most probably be Lord Demon’s spirit. He has a thousand arms and when stood vertically upright, he would look like a centipede. There was a demon divine weapon on each of his arms.

The Xiao Mang grand ancestor fought like a mad dog in his true form, a gigantic three-headed Pan Ao with six eyes bright like moons.

Other than them, there were also the five dragons of the dragon clans. They had cast out their respective divine weapons as they fought in the battle.

These Deity Overlords were badly struck, these were just the spirits left lingering in the world after their deaths and naturally, they were not as strong as before. Thus, they were all suffering severe injuries and were on the brink of dispersing into thin air.

Even Shi Tuo was also no better than the others. His body was shrinking down and was feeling helpless.

The opponent they were all fighting against was a Deity Emperor, Bi Xie Celestial Race who has six hearts. He alone was battling with so many gods and still inflicted such damage to them!

The Deity Overlord’s chest was torn open, his ribs pushed to the side and six hearts were laid bare in the air. These six hearts were formed by the six saint spirits and they were all looking like blooming lotuses.

The lotuses were fusing into his hearts, merging with his corpse and soul, forming into the strongest spirit. However, the progress was stalled as Shi Tuo and the godly sword intervened in the battle.

Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s plan is to consume Lord Xia, Lor Kun and the others as well, so he can nurture the strongest spirit? Zhong Yue pondered. This was the only reasonable explanation as to why Lord Xia, Lord Kun and the others were spared during the calamity back in the days. Because Bi Xie Celestial Emperor wanted to save their spirits for today!

While in the sky, there was a godly sword and a horn clashing into one another. Oftentimes, there were the after impacts from the divine weapons that struck down into the battlefield.

The two divine weapons were so strong that even the dimensional barrier around them was starting to crack and space rifts started to emerge!

This was once the residence of the gods, there were many godly mountains around that were unbreakable. But when faced with the stronger powers, even these mountains destroyed. The mountainous landscape was soon transformed into barren flatlands!

Krong——

Far away, the mountains also started to crumble, and the elements in the surrounding were also disrupted into chaos.

And when the godly sword clashed with the divine horn, the elements had then burst out in all domains and swallowed the whole area away!
