Chapter 408: Chapter 60 Human Clan’s Hundred Saints
How exactly the ancient war between gods and demons erupted, time had been too lengthy, and the truth had long been ground away.
This segment of history was destined to become a secret sin.
In this great war, countless gods and demons perished, and all heavens and myriad realms were drawn into it, even the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent were plunged into a catastrophe; many ancient powers were destroyed.
The protracted war lasted for thousands of years, causing turmoil that was unimaginable.
Until the Human Clan’s Hundred Saints appeared, they rose from obscurity, and in times of the Human Clan’s peril, they led the Human Clan, countering the ancient gods and demons.
In the end, the war between the Divine Demon was quelled by the Human Clan’s Hundred Saints.
And the two ancient races that had initiated the war, the Divine Race and the Ancestor Demon Clan, faded into the passage of time. There were rumors said that these two ancient and terrifying races were suppressed and sealed by the Human Clan’s Hundred Saints into some mysterious space; other rumors suggested these two races retreated on their own, to recuperate and regain strength.
...
The Human Clan’s Hundred Saints can be said to be the greatest group of people in the history of the Human Clan. At the time when gods and demons gloried, the Human Clan, lacking a Holy Emperor, became the sacrificial victim and was regarded as ants, but the Hundred Saints uplifted the teetering Great Xia once again, allowing the lineage of the Human Clan to continue.
Lin Feng had only heard of the Human Clan’s Hundred Saints but had never seen them. Now, he finally saw a person among the Hundred Saints; Lin Feng looked at the illusory figure of Military Saint Han Feizi with shock and admiration.
This was an ancestor who had devoted his life to the Human Clan.
"Boom."
A terrifying aura emanated from the depths, followed by an Eight Trigrams Furnace enveloped in endless black mist flew out.
"Is this that fearsome being? The one that hundreds of divine and demon weapons dread?" Lin Feng was astonished.
This Eight Trigrams Furnace was terrifying; even though it was damaged, it still contained unimaginable power.
Originally, this Eight Trigrams Furnace should have been a Divine Artifact, but now it had transformed into a Demon Weapon, exuding endless demon might.
"It was you, you built this Burial Soldier Valley, you buried us..." The Eight Trigrams Furnace roared angrily, and its eyes were filled with endless Killing Intent.
"Burial Soldier Valley was built by Military Saint Han Feizi?" Lin Feng was moved; he had not expected such a secret.
It was possible that the prohibitions of the Ancient God Demon Battlefield had a great connection with the Human Clan’s Hundred Saints.
"Buried here, waiting for reincarnation..."
An Ethereal voice echoed between heaven and earth; it was unclear where the voice came from.
It seemed to be Military Saint’s voice, but it also seemed not.
That Ethereal voice lingered, filled with the sediment of time.
"No, we need freedom."
The Eight Trigrams Furnace roared; endless Killing Intent emanated from within the furnace, "Gods and demons are dead, we have devoured the Divine Sense and Demon Thought of gods and demons, we have become Undying Soldiers, yet you suppressed us for so many years, you deserve to die."
This was the reason for the Eight Trigrams Furnace’s rage; they were originally weapons of gods and demons, who later perished in the Divine Demon war.
Thus, a small number of divine and demon weapons devoured their master’s "thought," completing their current transformation.
"Devouring evil thoughts, turning into fierce weapons, slaughtering the world, how could you be allowed to leave?"
Military Saint’s voice was very cold.
Lin Feng was moved; he didn’t know what was the matter with this Military Saint.
The blood-stained Holy Emperor Stone—was it stained with Military Saint’s blood?
Was this Holy Emperor Stone, which fell from the Outer Space, the place where Military Saint was slain by someone in the Extraterrestrial?
Blood stained the ancient stone, leaving only a brand attached to the surface of the Holy Emperor Stone?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Feng felt very sorrowful.
It was said that the fate of the Ancient Hundred Saints was quite tragic.
...
The Furnace of Eight Trigrams roared in anger, "Then today, I shall slaughter you first."
Boom!
The Furnace of Eight Trigrams unleashed an endless torrent of demon light, bombarding Military Saint Han Feizi with its attack.
"Bang."
Military Saint Han Feizi stood amid the crimson light, swinging his right hand with a palm strike that fiercely crashed onto the surface of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.
Instantly, the Furnace of Eight Trigrams was sent flying, striking a mountain peak and causing it to collapse in an instant.
"Ah."
The Furnace of Eight Trigrams roared furiously.
It burst out from the ruins, and then, an infinite demon mist surged forth. Within the mist, it evolved into Qian, Kan, Gen, Shock, Kun, Dui, Li, and Xun—these are the so-called Eight Trigrams.
Qian represents Heaven, Kun represents Earth, Shock represents Thunder, Xun represents Wind, Gen represents Mountain, Dui represents Lake, Kan represents Water, Li represents Fire.
The Eight Trigrams evolved, sealing Heaven and Earth, suppressing Military Saint Han Feizi with crushing force.
Heavenly collapse and earth split, the sun and moon lost their light.
Such momentum, just like the coming of doomsday, startled Lin Feng. It was unfathomable just how terrifying the Furnace of Eight Trigrams’s attack was.
No wonder Military Saint Han Feizi had to suppress these Divine Demon Soldiers in the past.
These Divine Demon Soldiers, having devoured the "Evil Thoughts" of deceased gods and demons, had undergone a grotesque transformation, becoming exceedingly malevolent. If they were to escape from the Ancient God Demon Battlefield, they would undoubtedly bring bloody storms across the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent, and countless people would be slaughtered.
"Break."
Military Saint Han Feizi made his move, taking a step forward and swinging his right fist, sweeping towards the Eight Trigrams that were bearing down on him.
Bang!
The thunderous impact shook the heavens, the Eight Trigrams shattered. Military Saint Han Feizi was terrifying; even though it was merely the last remaining imprint left on the blood-soaked ancient stone, his combat power was against the heavens, shattering the Eight Trigrams, punch after punch hammering towards the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, intending to utterly destroy it.
"Roar." The Furnace of Eight Trigrams was suppressed, and Military Saint Han Feizi seemed to want to destroy the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.
The Furnace of Eight Trigrams roared with fury.
"How formidable, truly formidable. After the Holy Emperor Stone was stained with blood, only this remnant thought of Military Saint Han Feizi remains, yet it is still so terrifying. It’s hard to imagine just how powerful Han Feizi was when he was alive."
Watching Military Saint Han Feizi determined to destroy the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, Lin Feng felt his emotions churning.
But soon, a somber mood permeated his heart.
The Hundred Saints of the Human Clan contributed their lives for the sake of their people.
Yet in the end, they met their tragic deaths in the Extraterrestrial World.
These were the ancestors of the Human Clan. Thinking of the Hundred Saints’ tragic deaths, Lin Feng felt nothing but pain in his heart.
"What are we waiting for? Military Saint Han Feizi is here, he’s already dead, leaving only his last remnant thought. If we destroy this remnant thought, Burial Soldier Valley will no longer be able to restrain us."
The Furnace of Eight Trigrams roared aloud.
"Kill..."
Soon, shouts of killing that shook the heavens came from outside, from another valley, hundreds of Divine Weapons and Demon Weapons all came rushing over.
"Han Feizi, you have suppressed us for so many years, today we will obliterate your last remnant thought."
The Blood Blade roared.
"Destroy him!" The great cauldron also bellowed.
Endless streams of demon light surged throughout All Heavens, hundreds of Divine Weapons and Demon Weapons, united with the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, collectively bombarded Han Feizi.
They sought to completely obliterate Han Feizi’s last remnant thought.
