Chapter 1374 - 1374 The Awakening of the Human Race's Heavenly Dao (2)
1374 The Awakening of the Human Race’s Heavenly Dao (2)
This was also a Heavenly Dao.
The last one to appear wasn’t a living creature but a large seal!
This seal was ancient and emitted the feeling of time. It was carved with the images of the Wanggu’s mountains and rivers and countless humans. In the carvings, those humans were fighting against the gods.
This was… the Human’s Seal!
It was the seal of the first ancient sovereign of the Wanggu. It was sent to the sky and became one of Wanggu’s Heavenly Daos.
At that moment, including this seal, a total of five Immemorial Heavenly Dao landed in the sky of the human race.
This was the foundation the Mystic Nether Holy Land had left behind in Wanggu. Now, in order to stop the Empress, they were used.
In an instant, the color of the sky changed and the wind surged. The might of the Heavenly Daos was vast, forming a power of suppression.
The ground shook and the void tore apart. Countless seals enveloped the Empress.
Regardless of whether it was the mortals, cultivators, or the officials, most of the humans in the capital had bewildered expressions. Only a few of them looked normal.
The Empress was one of them.
She stood in the air. Not only did her aura not decrease, but it instead became increasingly shocking under the suppression of the Heavenly Daos.
It was as though there was no obstacle that could sever her obsession.
No force could crush her spine.
No one could make her lower her head.
At that moment, she looked at the five descending Immemorial Heavenly Daos with her bright eyes and waved her hand.
Immediately, a huge war drum rumbled and manifested on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
This drum was condensed from the mountains, rivers, and lands of the human race, using the will of the human race as its top, and powered by the bloodline of the human race. The moment it appeared, the world was turned upside down and it emitted a vast aura that could determine victory!
It was the human race’s war drum!
“King Zhen Cang.”
“Your status is the most suitable for this moment. Are you willing to beat the drum for me and suppress the Heavenly Daos?!”
The Empress calmly spoke. Her voice landed on the Ancient Sovereign Planet and echoed in Xu Qing’s ears.
Ever since Xu Qing made a move earlier, he had been watching this magnificent godhood ritual. Hearing the Empress’ words now, he understood that there must be a deeper meaning behind the Empress pointing him out.
She should have known about his Heavenly Dao child and noticed that the karma between him and the Immemorial Heavenly Daos was extremely deep.
Xu Qing fell silent. He sensed the vast might of the Empress at this moment and didn’t dare to refuse.
Hence, he charged into the sky. Three steps later, he stood on the huge human war drum under the gazes of everyone.
His cultivation base circulated and 40 million soul threads erupted, forming an illusory great world. There was also the appearance of the Grand Mystic Heaven Armor. Jiuli surrounded him and his aura rose to the peak.
A sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he punched at the human war drum.
This punch shattered the void, creating a world-shaking force that landed on the war drum of the human race, producing a thunderous, earth-shattering sound!
As this sound erupted, the sky roared, and the earth was stirred into violent tremors. Every building within the imperial capital shook, and the ground outside the capital undulated wildly.
Even the rivers surged and churned at this moment, ultimately merging the colossal sounds of heaven and earth, and the roaring of rivers, into the singular sound of the drum.
This sound cut through the sky, forming a brilliant momentum, sweeping through the five Immemorial Heavenly Daos that were pressing down.
Not only was the drumbeat monstrous, but it also contained the karma between Xu Qing and the Immemorial Heavenly Daos. Vaguely, it was accompanied by the cry of a baby that echoed through the void.
In an instant, the five Immemorial Heavenly Daos trembled in unison.
As for Xu Qing, after his all-out attack landed, a terrifying force was also reflected from the human war drum. It spread through his entire body through his fist. Under waves of cracking sounds, this terrifying force swept through his flesh, blood, meridians, bones, and soul.
Xu Qing trembled and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
This blood had an extremely fishy stench, like poison that contained endless filth.
As he spat out this mouthful of blood, Xu Qing’s entire body felt unprecedentedly transparent. A light and agile sensation surfaced in his entire body, transforming into waves of comfort.
All of this caused his heart to stir and a strange glint to appear in his eyes.
Most of the hidden injuries that had been left behind from the countless battles over the years were actually healed by the counterforce from the human war drum, as though he had been purified.
Hence, he didn’t hesitate at all. He raised his hand again and circulated his cultivation base, augmenting it completely as he threw a second punch at the human war drum.
DONG!
The drumbeat rang out again, the sky swayed, and the hearts of the people rumbled. Strands of fortune rose from all the humans and gathered in the dragon of fortune.
This caused this fortune dragon’s body to grow countless times stronger. It swam in the fortune of the race and roared at the sky at the Heavenly Daos.
As it roared, the surrounding heroic spirits and ancestors who had submitted to the Empress shone with light, forming boundless killing intent.
Then they charged toward the Heavenly Daos.
When they were alive, they were killing enemies. After they died, they protected the Human Emperor!
Kill!!
At this moment, the color of the world changed.
The five Heavenly Daos in the sky also trembled more intensely. The suppressive power of the seal showed signs of being shaken.
Xu Qing felt that all the hidden injuries on his body had disappeared under the counter-shock purification. In fact, his physical strength had even increased.
Moreover, his body and soul were further merged, causing him to inexplicably feel as though he was complete.
This feeling came too suddenly. He didn’t have time to think too much now. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he threw out the third punch.
As the drum sound arose, the heavens and earth seemed to crumble. This sound resonated not only from the Grand Imperial Capital Region, but also from the seven counties, the Holy Wave, the Black Spirit… and even from all the miserable humans who were stranded outside.
No matter what they were doing, they were all guided by their bloodlines and released their wills.
A spark could start a prairie fire.
The determination of all the humans in the Wanggu erupted amidst the drumbeats. They invisibly fused into the third drumbeat and transformed into a deep roar of the human will.
“Ni!”
This word was extraordinary, historically associated with the name of the underworld. As the Heavenly Daos were established, apart from a few that were formed from artifacts, the rest were formed from the valiant souls who died in battle.
Hence, it was named by the Summer Immortal to be the true name of the Dao of all heavens.
As the saying went, when a human died, they became a ghost, feared by the living. When a ghost died, they became Ni, feared by other ghosts. This was the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, this word, shouted out by the collective will of the human race, swept from the earth to the heavens, from humanity to the Dao…
Break through the Heavenly Daos!
The Wanggu Heavenly Daos existed for the determination of the myriad races and protected the living beings in this world. At that moment… the impact formed by the will of the humans who had unified Wanggu many times, calling out the true name naturally shook the very foundation of the Heavenly Daos.
These five Heavenly Daos controlled by the holy land also had to follow their essence. At this moment, they all swayed and took a step back!
Seeing this, the Empress’ eyes gleamed.
When the three gods advanced back then, they had the regional treasures and even an eternal artifact to fend off the obstruction of the gods. This formidable collection was the force of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, representing the foundation of the three gods.
As for the human race… although they had deep foundations in the past, they had been in dire straits for countless years and didn’t have many trump cards left. However… the will of the human race still existed in this cruel Wanggu.
And the war drum stimulated it.
At that moment, it towered into the sky and shook the world.
Xu Qing’s aura rose and with the new sense of completeness, he threw out the fourth punch.
The sound of the drumbeat shook the sky.
As it reverberated in all directions, the resonance of the determination of the human race, the resonance of fortune, the resonance of mountains and rivers, the resonance of bloodlines, and then… the connection of timeless epochs, the past glory also descended in this brief resonance, projecting an image.
It was a map of the mountains and rivers!
It was drawn from the currents of time by the drumbeat, converging between heaven and earth.
The regions of the ancient times were all lands of various races.
The races of the Wanggu all bowed in reverence.
The Empress raised her hand and held the illusory ancient map in her hand.
“Back then, the Heavenly Daos were conferred mainly by our human race. The other races agreed and built them together.”
“Your descent at this moment, this act… is overstepping your boundaries!”
“Do not forget, our human race also has a Heavenly Dao, which, apart from the ancestral Dao formed from the Summer Immortal, is the foremost existence among the Heavenly Dao of the Wanggu!”
“After the fragmented-face arrived and Mystic Nether left, it fell into a deep sleep for countless years.”
“It’s time for it to wake up!”
“Xu Qing, beat the drum!”
The Empress’ voice was like thunder. She waved the territory map in her hand and it transformed into a massive drum mallet that was thrown at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and enhanced his entire body with his cultivation base. His qi and blood churned endlessly as he lifted his hand and took the drum mallet formed by the map of the territory that contained the glory of the human race.
He struck the human war drum with all his might!
DONG!
The fifth drumbeat!
The instant it spread throughout Wanggu and echoed in the sky, a roar that seemed to come from ancient times rose from time and echoed in the void.
At the next instant, the world turned golden.
A seven-clawed golden dragon suddenly emerged in the clouds.
