Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Surrounded by the demon soldiers on the head of the giant Heaven-Devouring Turtle, the group led by Nalan Hongwu felt like they were engulfed in dark clouds, and they charged in all directions with their weapons!
Non-stop roars and shouts of fury resonated on the field. At this moment, it looked as if the heroic beings that had died on the ancient battlegrounds rose and burned in the depths of their souls!
In the dark chilly scene, these people managed to kill their way out.
Such a scene instantly ignited the bravery in all the other cultivators. Instantly, they were united for one purpose!
A streak of clear light from the Heavenly Mirror rose and shone on the battleground as Lan Mo, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance Master, and some elders circulated their vital essence and controlled this treasure mirror!
“The demon vanguard is dead! Follow my Heavenly Mirror and find the source of the murderous aura!” Lan Mo said loudly.
The murderous aura filling the air had a very bad impact on most of the cultivators. If they could take the opportunity to get rid of it, the situation would change for the better for the cultivators.
“Team Five, stay here!” Zong Wu looked down and saw the horrifyingly huge turtle forcing almost all the cultivators to retreat with its attacks. He yelled, “The other four teams, follow me to cut off the turtle’s legs!”
Soon, the teams leaped down from the turtle head. Meanwhile, the Vital Magnetic Wind Thunder Battleships turned the cannons accordingly!
…
“What are they going to do?!” The demonic god sitting on the throne of bones looked thoughtful. “Lu You!”
“Here!” The demon general stood up slowly and bowed respectfully.
“These mortals have some abilities,” the demonic god said coldly, “You go and ask them if they want to join my army. Weak mortals always crave for the great power and immortality that I can give.”
“Yes! The mortals will be honored to have garnered appreciation from you, Nine-Fold Darkness Demon General!” The demon general who responded had a bird head and was engulfed in blazing flames. Anyone getting close to him would feel the hell-like burning heat. “But…what if they don’t want to submit?”
“After killing so many demon soldiers in my army, do they want to leave intact?!”
…
God is a character of combined ideograms, and its meaning derives both from ‘shi’ and ‘shen’. ‘Shi’ means the inspiration of wisdom while ‘shen’ refers to the shape of a lightning bolt, meaning speed and quality like lightning flashes. It also means morality and quality.
[TL Note: God is 神 in Chinese, which combines the two words, shi (示) and shen (申).]
In the ancient legends, the word ‘god’ didn’t mean specifically the existence beyond mortals. In fact, ancient legends started from the Three Emperors.
– In the new shop at the East Continent –
At this moment, all the players gathered outside of the shop.
Some were cultivators who had come to help from other shops.
At this moment, the cultivators of the Half City Shop were not the only ones in a crisis.
When the immortals of Gui Family descended in Jiuhua City, most of the players didn’t witness the horrifying power far beyond mortals. But now, they truly experienced a power that ‘no mortal strength could reach’!
These players had thought that a true immortal like Gui Ye was unimaginably powerful. But now, they found that they had been sadly mistaken. In the aura that was as vast and deep as an ocean, except for those immortal soldiers, every immortal here was much more powerful than Gui Ye, the immortal from Connate Cliff!
Seeing such a presence, these people had the feeling that even if Qi Tiandi was here in person, he wouldn’t be able to kill so many immortals!
The immortals looked down coldly from the Heaven.
“I’ll give you one last chance.” On the clouds, Wonderous Spell High Holiness said coldly, “Some of you don’t have to die. You must make the choice to give up these unorthodox practices or die!”
“Why?!” Xiaoyao Ancestral Master stood out and said, “What we learn is the orthodox Great Dao; what we know are elegant and ceremonious greetings; what we find are all ultimate truths in the Heaven and Earth! Why can’t we study these things?! How can you call them unorthodox practices?!”
“Don’t you think that it’s too late to talk about it?!” Wonderous Spell High Holiness yelled fiercely, “You dared to kill immortal soldiers from our Innumerable-Immortal Sea and injure the vital spirit of an immortal of our Gui Family!”
“If we aren’t allowed to do that, do you expect us to wait and be killed?!”
“Good! Good! Good! You mortals are so stubborn that you want to fight the Heavens?!” Wonderous Spell High Holiness’ furious yell came from the sky.
He lifted his hand high and then waved indifferently. “Then, you will turn into dust with this place!”
Instantly, tens of thousands of immortal soldiers and generals, countless immortal weapons, and the horrifying presence that went beyond mortals’ imagination swarmed up like waves. In the next moment, they would devour these confused mortals and the human world!
These mortals didn’t know what they did wrong. Perhaps being weak was the biggest mistake that they had made in this world.
The Faction Master and elders of the Heavenly Faction looked into the distance outside the cave abode. Those ordinary mortals without cultivation strength relied on the cultivators to cast immortal spells and superpowers, giving them a guiding light in this catastrophe.
But how about us…?!
When they rescued those mortals, they also wished that someone or some existence would show them the way forward in such a situation.
After pursuing Dao for dozens of years and dreaming about Dao for thousands of years, they would die without regrets if they could really hear and see the real Dao.
“Kill-!” With a fierce roar, someone charged first. He was followed by the second and the third!
These cultivators brandished spiritual artifacts and flying swords and charged at the immortals in the sky with crimson eyes!
But in the next moment, they dropped to the dust one by one.
Regardless of how they struggled, they couldn’t get up. Despite their improvements and ability to handle some immortal soldiers, they could never fight the elders and holinesses from the saint families!
At this moment, the people suddenly saw a figure shooting up into the sky.
“That… that is…!?”
As if they saw a heavenly light falling from the place beyond the Ninth Heaven and shining on the heavy clouds, the grand existences also turned their gazes toward the figure flying up into the high sky.
The defiant figure dressed in gold armor and wearing a golden hat looked to be engulfed in blazing flames from Laozi’s Brazier, and the flames also flattered his scarlet cape.
As if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing, everyone rubbed their eyes subconsciously.
They didn’t see it wrong. The figure wasn’t as grand as the immortals standing in the sky; he even looked a bit tiny. However, he stood before the hundreds of thousands of immortal soldiers and immortals like an insurmountable natural barrier!
“A monkey?!” The immortal soldiers sneered when they saw the being before them.
However, the people on the ground…
The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, Sun Wukong. His body is as hard as ebony iron, his eyes are fiery and golden, his way of immortality. and… the 72 transformations…
“That’s…”
“The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal-!”
At this moment, not able to control their feelings, everyone yelled, “That’s… the Great Sage!”
