NOVPUBAfter all, he was their ancestor and their last hope.
"But as long as Qing Shan remains, all can be faced," Divine Blood Heavenly Monarch said calmly looking at the clanspeople,
Some were disgruntled, some angry, and others remained silent without a word.
He said calmly, "You can all choose your own fates, you may submit to Shi Ya if you wish, or if you’re unwilling, you may choose death instead.
I respect either choice, but let me tell you one thing.
As long as Qing Shan is still here, there’s always a chance for a fresh start."
After his words ended, the several Clan Elders beside him sighed softly as well.
The situation was dire, and they had no choice but to either die or abandon the struggle.
They could not allow their race to be destroyed on their watch.
"We greet our lord," the Clan Elders bowed first, turning to Shi Ya in greeting.
Watching the Clan Elders submit, the rest of the clanspeople also started kneeling one after another.
"We greet our lord," the thunderous voices of the pressing crowd echoed throughout the Divine Blood Peak.
"Lord of the Blood Clan," Shi Ya chuckled, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing.
...
"My lord," the Divine Emperor turned and greeted Xu Zimei with a soft voice.
"The power of a Great Emperor is indeed mesmerizing, isn’t it," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"You only realize the value after you’ve lost it," the Divine Emperor nodded and replied.
"In that case, why don’t you join me on a trip to a place," Xu Zimei stood up, stretched lazily, and said.
"It’s time we left."
Watching the Divine Emperor and Xu Zimei leave, Divine Blood Heavenly Monarch frowned slightly.
He felt that the Divine Emperor seemed to be somewhat respectful towards the younger man, but then he quickly dismissed the thought as unlikely.
However, the departure of the Divine Emperor relieved the pressure on him a great deal.
The presence of a Great Emperor, whose very word can turn into law, could suppress an entire realm just by standing still, doing nothing.
Divine Blood Heavenly Monarch turned his head, looking at Shi Ya and said, "I hope you will treat your own race well, you too are a part of the Blood Clan."
Shi Ya nodded slightly.
Divine Blood Heavenly Monarch said no more and waved his right hand, tearing open a Spatial Gate.
He then entered his seclusion place, which he would leave only if the survival of his race was at stake.
...…
Winter will eventually pass, the breeze of spring blew across the sky, nurturing the land once more.
In Tianluan Domain, the Lan Family.
At this moment, Heaven Blue City lay in ruins.
The city’s residents fled in all directions while deafening explosions seemed determined to level heaven and earth to the ground.
Screams and shouts dispersed among the panicking crowd, the Lan Family, which had prospered for ages, was now teetering on the brink.
Bai Meng looked at the Chaos Stone before him, his burly figure trembling slightly.
This was the witness to Demon’s Advent, he would unlock the seal of the Ancient Demon’s Cavern, just as in times past, heralding the revival of the Demon Race.
His figure moved step by step toward the Chaos Stone, while the seven Lan Family elders tried desperately to stop him, but to no avail.
When Bai Meng finally reached the Chaos Stone, he reached out his hand towards it.
Just as his palm barely touched the blue shield on the surface of the Stone, there was a deep hum, and an immensely powerful force radiated from it,
knocking Bai Meng back and sending him flying.
Then, eight booming explosions were heard in succession.
The Chaos Stone suddenly vanished, as if swallowed by space itself,
and the eight pillars around it all emitted dazzling white light.
The light formed a barrier, trapping Bai Meng within.
As the light touched Bai Meng, it would seemingly burn like fire, causing Bai Meng to howl in extreme pain.
"Everyone, show yourselves quickly, what are we waiting for?" Lan Jiulin called out lightly.
Suddenly, several formidable powers surged up from around Heaven Blue City.
These powers shot straight into the heavens, tearing apart the firmament, and reflecting in the skies above.
"Heavenly Sword Mountain has come to aid, slaughter the demons, protect our domain."
"Invincible Sect has come to aid, guard our Tianluan Domain."
Several loud shouts rang out, and at this moment, a vast expanse of Immortal Qi came from the east for ninety thousand miles.
Filling the entire sky.
Three figures shattered the firmament, emerging from the void.
The vast Immortal Qi surged around them.
"Heavenly Sword Mountain with its two emperors, and our Tianluan Domain’s long-revered Invincible Sect.
We are saved," the people of Heaven Blue City cheered upon seeing this scene.
Heavenly Sword Mountain, since the days of Sword Slaying the Heavens, also known as the Heaven-Defeating Great Emperor,
That man led it to glory, through several eras, and ultimately through the period of the Heavenly Nether Emperor,
Becoming the most famous power in the Tianluan Domain in the past few thousand years.
The Invincible Sect, although it has only one Great Emperor,
The legend of the Invincible Emperor is even more widely spread.
It is said that the Cultivation Technique of their sect is very special, difficult though the process may be, but once one achieves greatness, they can become invincible within their generation.
The Invincible Emperor of the past was indeed undefeated, invincible all the way, and carried Destiny with him.
People on the continent held their sect’s method of cultivation in high esteem,
And went to great lengths to obtain it, especially since the disciples of the Invincible Sect were generally much stronger.
Now that the patriarchs of these two great Imperial Rule Immortal Sects have personally descended, plus the seven patriarchs of the Lan Family, such a grand event hasn’t happened in many years.
"Look quick, that’s the Absolute Sword Elder, war general of the Heaven-Defeating Great Emperor," someone exclaimed, pointing at the elder on the left.
The elder held a Longsword in his hand, and although he looked very frail,
He stood with his chest out and head up, as if he himself was an unsheathed blade.
Clothed in a green robe, his sharp Sword Intent was so piercing that people dared not look directly at him, for their eyes hurt.
"Beside him appears to be Heavenly Nether Emperor’s war general, the Sword Demon Dugu Wenchang."
Everyone shifted their gaze and saw that man in a white garment, his Sword Intent tangible and solid.
The black Sword Intent swirled around him, and as it surged,
The citizens of Heaven Blue City below, particularly the swordsmen bearing swords, found their swords humming involuntarily,
As if paying homage to something.
"That last one must be the elder of Invincible Sect, Jiang Wudi."
A nearby person discussed, "It’s said that back in the day, she exchanged over a hundred moves with the Invincible Emperor and was undefeated."
"Just rumors, the Invincible Emperor wasn’t serious; he was just training her, but it’s indeed quite remarkable," another added.
As those around discussed, this Jiang Wudi stood above the firmament,
People seeing her for the first time would be amazed because she was a woman.
A figure of grace and beauty, as if she had descended from the ninth heaven.
She wore a blue and white flowing robe, gently fluttering in the wind.
A pair of snow-white and straight legs were faintly visible under the robe,
Her long hair lay gently on her forehead, bound by a blue ribbon.
