Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Black Heaven Sect.
The gods and the cultivators were battling it out. Just as Lan Yu and the rest were beginning to show signs of defeat, the sky echoed with the cold, brutal voice of a person.
“Despicable gods, how dare you to show yourselves around here! You must be seeking death!”
In fact, it was more than just one person’s voice.
Several rays of light arrived at the scene.
The Heavenly Tormentors were here.
The emergence of the Heavenly Tormentors caused streams of mythical Daoist patterns to comb through the realm, and the presence of Heavenly Might made the gods go wary.
“It’s the Heavenly Tormentors. They’re here.”
“Hmph, so what if they are? The Great Panhuman Revolt has left most of them heavily injured anyway. I bet they have yet to recover from that fight.”
“Fair enough. In fact, we can finally make them pay for what they did to us in the Great Panhuman Revolt.”
The gods quickly recovered from their shock and stared at the Heavenly Tormentors with murderous intents in their eyes.
The vengeance between the gods and the Heavenly Tormentors was deep. After all, most of the gods were sealed by the Heavenly Tormentors during the Great Panhuman Revolt.
“Let’s kill these Heavenly Tormentors before we destroy the Black Heaven Sect.”
The Crocodile God uttered ruthlessly.
“You can come and try!”
The Heavenly Tormentors and the gods clashed in an epic battle. Their terrifying energies caused half of Firmament Star to tremble. The arrival of the Heavenly Tormentors had lifted a heavy weight off the shoulders of Lan Yu, Elder Ruyan, and the Black Heaven Sect members.
However, things still remained alarming.
In the Extraterritorial Region.
The Daoist Celestials, too, were observing this battle. While some of the Daoist Celestials, such as the Transcendental Daoist Celestial and Luo Shui, attempted to interfere, they were halted by the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and his followers.
“Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, what are you doing?!”
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial questioned furiously.
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial and Luo Shui were glaring coldly at the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial answered indifferently, “I’ve negotiated with the gods. As long as the Heavenly Tormentors and the Black Heaven School are gone, they have agreed to help us conquer other civilizations to strengthen Firmament Star.”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial stared incredulously at Heavenly Golden, his eyes wide. “Heavenly Golden, do you know what you’re talking about?! Are you trying to undo all our achievements from the Great Panhuman Revolt?!”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial felt it was all too ridiculous.
The Heavenly Tormentors were widely-admired entities who had sacrificed their lives in the Great Panhuman Revolt for the sake of the human race.
However, the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial had not only reached a consensus with the gods in secret, but he was also willing to let the Heavenly Tormentors die!
The protectors of the human race were betrayed!
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial stared at the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, who seemed strangely unfamiliar to him. He did not think things would get more ridiculous than this.
However, he now understood that the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial standing before him was no longer the comrade he fought alongside in the Great Panhuman Revolt.
“Their sacrifices and achievements will be commemorated in history, but I’m sure they’ll understand for the sake of the human race’s future.”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said, unfazed.
“You sure sound like you know what’s best for the human race’s future. But are you doing it for the human race’s future or your own?!” The Transcendental Daoist Celestial was furious now.
“When I eventually become the Human King, the human race and I shall become one. My future will also be the human race’s future!”
“To hell with your bullsh*t!”
No longer able to tolerate any further, the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial summoned a dark hammer and charged at the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial with a force that could shatter a planet.
A large explosion ensued in the void.
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial retaliated with a fist technique, unleashing his Heavenly Golden Might into battle!
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial was blasted away with a bang. He then stared at Heavenly Golden, his expression horrified. “Your strength…”
“Shocking, right? I’ve long ascended into the peak-stage Minor Daoist Celestial Realm. Even the Chaos Daoist Celestial is no longer my match. With my power, who else within the human race can qualify to become King?”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial sneered.
For all these years, he had been concealing his true power.
That made the Transcendental Daoist Celestial concerned. The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial had surpassed him by two minor realms. At this stage, a difference of one minor realm was all it took to see a substantial difference in ability, let alone two minor realms.
“Are the rest of you willing to betray the human race with the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial too?”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial looked at the rest of the Daoist Celestials.
The rest of them stared at one another.
“This is the human race’s affair. The beasts shall not meddle with your politics.”
The Lunar Daoist Celestial led several other bestial Daoist Celestials to the side.
Most of the remaining humans sighed and stood beside the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. Their stances were evident.
“I agree with the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial’s vision. It’s time for the Firmament Star to evolve. The gods might just be our greatest ally to achieve this vision.”
“Yes, the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial is right.”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial felt hopeless seeing this scene play out.
He would never have expected the comrades he used to fight alongside with would completely abandon their morality and principles.
“Would you do this if the King were still alive?”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial lamented.
Upon hearing that, there were swift changes in moods across the Daoist Celestials who chose to side with the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. Their minds carried them away to the vision of an admirable white-clothed figure.
If that person were still around, who would dare do this?
He was the greatest King to have ever lived in the human race.
“Alas, what matters is that he’s no longer here. It’s time for the human race to meet their new King, and I shall be the one to lead them into the new era,” the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said impatiently.
He despised the mentioning of that person.
Once upon a time, like many others, the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial used to admire the King deeply. However, as his ambitions grew, so did his leanings.
He wanted to become the new King!
However, the Human King’s reputation and glory still lingered around long after his death. It became the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial largest hurdle in becoming the next King.
Each time someone mentioned the last Human King, their eyes would often spark with admiration and respect, which disgusted the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial.
Why should a dead king deserve so much more glory than him?
“You don’t have what it takes to become King!”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial roared furiously as he channeled his Emperor qi and Daoist patterns to their fullest potential. He was eager to fight the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial.
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial and Luo Shui swiftly joined the battle.
In the boundless universe, a civil war broke out between the human race’s Daoist Celestials.
In the Black Heaven Sect.
The Heavenly Tormentors were engaging in an intense battle with the Greater Gods.
Although the Heavenly Tormentors were granted the power of Heavenly Might, their injuries in the Great Panhuman Revolt and the battle of the Blood Abyss made things difficult.
As such, it was a tough battle for them.
“Haha, it seems like there’s a party going on here.”
At this moment, a loud cackle interrupted the battle.
Several rays of light arrived at the scene.
Each ray of light was infused with terrifying divine power that exerted an oppressive force over the cultivators in the battle.
“Judging from the aura, these are no ordinary gods.”
“They’re the strongest of the Upper Gods, who are perhaps not much weaker than the Venerable Gods themselves. Could it be them again?”
The Heavenly Tormentors exchanged glances.
Then, the lights dissipated.
Seven gods of various forms emerged before them. The gods differed in age and gender, but they all shared a similarly powerful divine aura.
“It’s been a while, Heavenly Tormentors.”
A dark-haired brute stared at the Heavenly Tormentors and said.
“Pride God, it’s you again.”
The First Tormentor glared back at Pride God.
“Heh, your auras are surprisingly weak. It seems like the injuries you suffered during the Great Panhuman Revolt are still around.”The Pride God sneered at the Heavenly Tormentors.
“Since all of you are out, I’m guessing the Demon God is free as well.”
The First Tormentor said lightly.
“The Demon God is not the only one. The rest of the Venerable Gods have been freed too. Soon, this vast land shall return to the rulerships of the gods.. And as for blasphemous fools like you… only deaths await thee!”
