Chapter 1005: Grand Festival of Heaven and Earth
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The World of Confucian was ablaze.
A strange three-headed bird flapped its wings and spewed out flames, cold currents, and venomous poison, turning an army into corpses.
Black smoke shrouded the city, hiding the sky and covering the earth.
One-by-one, skeletons climbed out from the earth and killed everything within range.
These corpses would stand up again after a while, becoming new zombies and joining the slaughter.
The entire city transformed into a ghost city before long, containing no trace of the living.
…
If you were to look at it from the sky, you would see that with the release of energy from that giant monster, many academies were destroyed all at once. The power of the human Confucian scholars was so fragile and vulnerable when the end came.
A wisp of yellow Qi rose from the earth and slowly condensed. In accordance with the mountains and rivers, it flowed toward the earth veins to form a dragon vein!
This dragon vein was very thick, with the mountains as its ridge, two claws out at sea, and two large lakes as its eyes. The dragon head was facing the country that was now a dead land.
“Good… This is the aggregation of all the smaller dragon veins. Perhaps it should be called the… Ancestor Dragon? Once it breaks, the land will really sink…”
Fang Yuan followed the weird purple bird to a spot.
The terrain was shattered here, with deep criss-crossing ditches and trickling streams converging. It was obviously the starting point of a great river that ran east-to-west.
It would be where the dragon tail was going by the structure of the dragon vein!
“Great… I didn’t think this Dragon Searching Acupuncture Technique of yours was this good, Li Hun. You actually found the node in such a short time…” The weird purple bird groomed its feather. “Listen to my command later. We’ll do it together. I’ll lock down the dragon head while you nail down for the dragon tail. It’s as good as done once we suppress the dragon vein!”
“…” Fang Yuan did not reply and found a cave.
Unlike other caves that were damp, the surrounding stone walls had a dry feeling to them.
He went deep into it and saw a spring with water pouring forth.
“The dragon is where water is. The tail of the so-called Ancestor Dragon must be here!”
Fang Yuan’s smile broadened.
“All right. My true body has found the dragon head and the dragon eye, and it’s starting. Li Hun… hurry…” urged the weird purple bird.
But the next moment, it was grabbed out of the air.
“What are you? Daring to order me around?”
Smack!
Fang Yuan smiled, and his hand squeezed hard.
That weird purple bird shattered into pieces after a soft noise.
“Much easier on my ears now…”
He let out a deep breath and stared at the spring in front of him.
Kaboom!
A huge earthquake suddenly rumbled, spreading far and wide.
“That purple bird must have started attacking the Ancestor Dragon!” Fang Yuan showed a strange smile. “Well… I’ll help you. Water from the dragon vein!”
He used a Dharmic formulation to make the water undulate.
Lighting struck, and the dragon roared.
It was as though a giant dragon was struggling in the void.
“I can only do so much. The rest is up to you…”
Fang Yuan did feel a bit of affinity toward this world due to the familiarity, but he was not going to go against all the Demon Gods just for that.
Therefore, he did not nail down the dragon tail but instead helped it to fly.
This was enough to annoy Sacred Lord Purple Crow.
Of course, something of this level was merely small trouble for a Netherheaven Demon God.
However, this world might just escape the fate of being annihilated if it grabbed the chance.
“The key to this battle is Sun Shengru!”
Fang Yuan soared up into the sky and watched the earth dragon vein.
Rumble!
A constant vibration plagued the earth, like a dragon turning over.
He could vaguely see the dragon veins of the world converging at the dragon head, ready to make a desperate blow.
In that position, a beam of purple-black light carrying a strong grudge soared into the sky. “Li Hun, you played me! Forget it… I’ll first chop this Ancestor Dragon into pieces before settling the score with you!”
“Hehe…” Fang Yuan laughed coldly and did nothing.
A turquoise dragon head emerged and started battling the purple bird.
Their battle was turbulent, and the rest of the Demon Gods did not dare to get close.
After all, the other Demon Gods were not at the Netherheaven realm, and they were all only relying on the might of their true body.
Under the suppression, they could still die if there was real danger, so naturally no one dared to be careless.
Besides, Demon Gods were a cunning lot. It was good enough for them not to pull each other’s legs. Why would they help out selflessly?
Petals formed a human figure in the sky where the gate was. Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers chided in a strong tone, “Li Hun, you better explain this to me!”
“What’s there to explain? That purple crow is a pain in the ass, so what’s the big deal about creating some trouble for him!” Fang Yuan admitted without hesitation.
“Damn it!” Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers was speechless.
The Demon Gods were an unruly and unrestrained bunch. Fang Yuan’s reason might be nonsense, but it was not unthinkable!
She would have never thought that Fang Yuan might have some feelings toward this World of Confucian.
She became even angrier. “I don’t care what grudges you have with him, but you must give it up and help the Mental Demon Realm devour this world. Otherwise, I will immediately expel you from my Holy City of Fresh Flowers!”
“Do you think I’m afraid of you, bitch!” Fang Yuan was elated. He was hoping for an excuse to fight.
“N-not good, Sun Shengru!” But at this moment, the expression on Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers’s incarnation changed. “Help me seal the gate quickly. I don’t know what happened, but Sun Shengru broke through my seal and used a spell to trap my body. He’s about to return to the World of Confucian!”
“What?!”
This was something unexpected.
At that moment, a fierce Qi of Righteousness pierced through the gate like a sharp arrow.
Rumble!
Feeling this breakthrough, the world jumped for joy.
Sun Shengru, the guardian of this world, actually occupied thirty percent of this world’s natural source and providence.
And he was even more mighty in the World of Confucian.
In the past, he had defeated Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers and her two Demon God subordinates.
“Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers, what are you doing! Why can’t you even guard a door!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he broadcasted his spiritual will. “All Demon Gods, gather quickly and solve this trouble first!”
“I’m at fault for the land being in this sorry state!”
Sun Shengru’s gaze was on the fragmented and fiery continent as he half-knelt in the void with a painful look on his face.
His eyes turned red. “Demons! I might not be able to match you in your world, but this place… is my home field!”
“Sinner Sun Shengru begs the world for help!” Sun Shengru shouted, his voice seeming to travel all over the world.
Hope once again lit ablaze in the eyes of those still struggling. “It’s the Confucian Saint! He’s back!”
“Great. We will definitely be able to defeat the demons with him!”
“Long live!”
…
Golden fireflies of faith flew out from their hearts and submerged into Sun Shengru’s body.
“This is incense forging a god?”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan smiled.
It was the easiest to inspire faith in times of crisis.
In another Divine Dao world, Sun Shengru would certainly have become a god by converging the faith of the people.
The World of Confucian was not a Divine Dao world, but the damage caused by the Demon Gods was rapidly healing. They emitted a pale golden color, somewhat resembling the Golden Body of a God, but the power went far beyond it.
Not only that, but the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth appeared from all over the world and entered Sun Shengru’s body.
“In the world there is the spirit of righteousness, taking many forms!” he shouted. A white light burst.
‘”Ahh!”
Sacred Lod Fresh Flowers screamed, unable to withstand this attack. She turned into ashes directly.
This was the might of that blow!
“Hmm?”
“This isn’t good!”
“The guardian is back, and the world is blessing him!”
The other Demon Gods were terrified.
Sun Shengru might be only a Confucian Saint, but he was equivalent to Netherheaven in this world!
A Netherheaven Demon God with a world’s enhancement!
They were only a hastily put together group with no cooperation at all. When there were benefits, they exuded a shark-like attitude, but none of them dared to take the lead to fight against Sun Shengru at this time.
“Ha! Grand Festival of Heaven and Earth!”
Sun Shengru seemed to have recovered to his peak state with his Golden Body and Righteousness. His giant hand summoned a terrifying sacrificial altar, as though he were offering sacrifice to some incomprehensible existence.
“We are the heirs of Huaxia. How can we suffer disgrace in the hands of evil demons? I hope for the gods above to help me!”
Suddenly, the light from the altar filled the world.
Flash!
Surging light!
It contained unparalleled power from who knows where and spread everywhere in an instant.
“Ah! This… what level of power… Why… do I feel like I’m melting?”
The three-headed bird gave a blood-curdling screech as it became bound by chains of light. Its Demon God body actually began to melt.
“How terrifying. The Grand Festival of Heaven and Earth? It doesn’t seem to have obtained power from this world, but… an even greater existence!”
Fang Yuan’s Heavenly Eye Seer Spell flashed with faint excitement.
He did not push his luck. He summoned his Netherheaven Demon God Great Dao, burst into light, and went through the gate.
