Chapter 485 - Extravagant Hope

It was really terrifying. The West Barren divine court took up an area of over hundred thousand miles and was nearly as big as the Great Wilderness. But it was completely destroyed by the two emperor-levelled divine weapons!

If this strike were to land in the Great Wilderness, the whole place would be wiped into a piece of flatland and the humans would extinct from this planet!

The impact force from the clash of the sword and horn blasted on everyone. Shi Tuo’s three heads were decapitated and fell onto the ground where they soon disintegrated into tiny dust particles before reforming.

He didn’t have a physical body, Shi Tuo was now only a demon spirit whose mortal body died and had his spirit enter the Void World. Without stopping the worship, it was nearly impossible to kill him.

However, this didn’t mean that he was completely invulnerable to damage.

Shi Tuo was roaring in anger. The Demon God Contracted Puppet was a toy he made so that he could come down to the mortal body and have fun once in a while. Those wishes from the puny mortals were so dull, and for the past two times he was here, he sure did have lots of fun. But he never would’ve predicted coming across a formidable opponent like Bi Xie Celestial Emperor.

Not only that, but there were also the other lord-level gods with their saint weapons!

In terms of pure spirit prowess, Shi Tuo was even stronger than Lord Xia and the others. But with them wielding their weapons and him fighting bare-handedly, he was in turn weaker than them now.

The Void World was a world that no physical objects could enter, thus, he couldn’t bring his demon divine weapon with him along when he entered the Void World. Causing him to be weakest of all in the battle, making him to feel incredibly helpless.

The battle took a great toll on everyone. Even the many saint weapons started to crack when the two emperor-level divine weapons clashed together.

Although these weapons were called the saint weapons, but they were just the lord-level divine weapons. Surely they wouldn’t be able to compete with the emperor-level divine weapons.

The strongest spirit, it’s maturing…, Zhong Yue looked at it with his divine third eye.

The six lotus saint spirits on Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s ribs were dimming and withering. The saint spirits’ energies were transferred to Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s brain.

Clearly, the celestial emperor had yet to revive. He was only manipulating his past life’s mortal body with his soul so that he could withstand the pressure of the sword.

After all, the intrusion of an emperor-level divine weapon was something he has never prepared for.

Before this, Bi Xie Celestial Emperor most probably used his spirit against Lord Xia, he planned to take them down and refine them into his spirit. Even when Feng Xiaozhong brought Shi Tuo into the fight, that has only caused him a little trouble, Zhong Yue thought, But with his power, he can still handle the situation without the mortal body. However, when the emperor-leveled divine sword has intervened the battle, he has no choice but to use his past life’s mortal body. Moving that Deity Emperor’s mortal body, it must consume a whole lot of energy from him!

The divine sword and the horn were clashing unceasingly above in the sky. And in a strong clashing, the five dragon ancestors, Lord Kun, Lord Demon, Lord Xia and the others have dispersed into thin air. They then formed back together at a far distance away from the battlefield.

They were the spirits as well. Although they dispersed into thin air but without a true killing blow that aimed on their weaknesses, they still wouldn’t die. This was also why the two emperor-leveled divine weapons didn’t specifically target them. Otherwise, they would have been dead already.

Even so, there was no doubt that they were injured; even their spirit powers severely impacted with their souls injured.

The soul was the most important part in them. After all, if their souls were struck away, they would be left with only their spirits that had no will of their own and were beholden to worship of the people.

The longer they were entangled in the battle, the more fearful these Deity Overlords became. Their souls were struck one time after another, and suddenly, Lord Demon turned into a ray of black light, bolting away with his shabby saint weapon.

“Run! Let that divine sword entangle Bi Xie Celestial Emperor in the battles while we escape for our lives!”

Immediately, the Xiao Mang grand ancestor rushed out and reached the Xiao Mang supreme temple like a hurricane. He plunged into the mountain underground and hid inside while his spirit flew toward the moon and mumbled, “I won’t come out anymore!”

The five dragon ancestors have also turned and ran. Lord Kun, Lord Xia and the others all rushed away as well.

Lord Xia returned to the Heavenly Lord Palace and seconds later, he deemed that it was not safe, opting to enter the Lesser Void World instead.

Lord Kun went through the teleportation portal to the Celestial Wood Star and hid himself in the raging ocean.

These godly spirits had all left, leaving Shi Tuo alone.

He wanted to leave as well, but the sky was filled with spatial rifts, how could he leave?

Without the divine weapons, he was the weakest and had suffered immense injuries.

Shi Tuo then grit his teeth, he said, “That brat who summoned me, I will capture you and torcher you for the rest of your life!”

As soon as he was summoned down from the Void World, Feng Xiaozhong immediately left and it wasn’t before Shi Tuo to realized that he was schemed on by Feng Xiaozhong.

It was truly difficult to escape alive.

The divine sword and horn struck his soul, and with each hit, his strength would continue to decline.

Shi Tuo gritted his teeth and bolted out from the divine court. The elements around were bursting out in rage and stalled him from escaping. The impact force that came from the clashings of the divine sword and horn struck him even harder.

After a long time, Shi Tuo was finally able to leave from the battlefield. The middle-aged man who summoned him appeared not far away in front of him.

“A Deity Overlord demon spirit…”, Feng Xiaozhong’s face was filled with joy and his eyes lit up, he said, “You will be able to last me for a long time now … Hehehehe…”

In the West Barren divine court, there was only the divine sword and the horn that was still fighting.

While the whole place has been completely destroyed!

The battle has caused the godly spirits in the temples and the gods around to hide in fear, they didn’t even dare to come out at all.

While the divine weapons in the temples were also dim in godly rays and laid unmoving on the ground. They were all suppressed by the two emperor-leveled divine weapons!

The two emperor-leveled divine weapons were fighting like two Deity Emperors, this was a battle not even the ordinary gods could intervene in!

Zhong Yue was looking at the battle from afar. The divine sword’s power was growing stronger with the passage of time, and soon, it had suppressed the horn and inflicted more wounds on Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s mortal body.

While the six saint lotuses were also getting dimmer. Suddenly, the divine sword had seized a chance and thrust it into Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s mortal body, creating a huge hole in it.

Is the battle coming to an end? Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he thought.

……

Ancestral Star was part of a Six Paths World and other than this one, there were still 2999 Six Paths World out there. And above all of the Six Paths Worlds, was the Zi Wei Divine Court.

It was the place where the many gods lived, the sacred realm where every other god longed to be in.

In the sea of golden clouds, there was a godly palace floating above it.

This was the Human Sovereign Palace, the residence of Human Sovereign.

There were many races in the 3000 Six Paths World, human race was one of them. This reign of Human Sovereign was a brawny man, the world knew him as the Nong Sovereign. He wielded a whip and with it, he taught the human race to plant the crops and make their own food for sustenance.

This one day, there the golden clouds billowing over. Eight ancient golden dragons were pulling on a grand carriage as they flew into the Human Sovereign Palace.

The grand carriage was huge like a house, there were the goddesses dancing and singing while they all looked affectionately at a purple-robed king.

“Nong Sovereign, I have bring words from my imperial emperor.”

The grand carriage flew into the Human Sovereign Palace and the purple-robed king stood up. He said loudly, “My imperial emperor wishes things to be done in a merciful manner, he will be pleased to be able to maintain a harmonious situation. Nong Sovereign, you’ve aged while Bi Xie has a great successor who is incredibly loyal to him. You might want to reconsider the consequences of your decision and how it will affect humanity’s situation after your death.”

It was dead quiet in the palace.

Moments later, an old and husky voice answered, “I know what I’m doing. Tell the imperial emperor that I will not cross the line. But the humans in Ancestral Star, shall be left unharmed.”

“Thank you, Nong Sovereign.”

The purple-robed king sat back in the carriage and left.

“This Human Sovereign, he is dying and yet, all he looks at is the desolate Ancestral Star. Does he even know what is going on out there?” The purple-robed king turned his head back and looked at the Human Sovereign Palace, he shook his head and said, “Waned is waned. Even a phoenix that was once the brightest star will be reduced to something less than a mere chicken. How is it possible for him to succeeded again? He is old, not even any stronger than when he was in his prime, what can he still do now?”

A goddess smiled coquettishly, she asked, “What is the Human Sovereign planning?”

“Nurturing an impossible dream. He wants the Ancestral Star, he wants to nurture another Heavenly Monarch from it, just like how the Heavenly Sovereigns and Earthly Sovereigns were. He wanted to days to shine bright like before when they were still in control,” the king shook his head and said while smiling, “But it was all in the end, an extravagant hope.”

……

Meanwhile, in the Ancestral Star, the divine sword was shuddering violently and in the next second, it shattered Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s mortal body into pieces!

Godly rays burst out from Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s shattered body and protected a young cultivator in the middle. The godly rays then brought the young cultivator and bolted away.

The horn was mourning sadly, the sounds crumbled the dimensions and created many space rifts, stopping the divine sword from going after the young cultivator.

But the divine sword didn’t want to as well. It flashed away like a ray and returned to Swords Gate. The divine sword continued to shrink as it drew closer to Swords Gate. It then fell from the sky and pierced into the ground beside Fu Bao, causing the beautiful mother to rush back in shock.

But as she moved, the divine sword moved along with her as well. It was following behind her.

“Senior Martial Sister Fu Bao, relax. This is the sword given to Xuan Yuan by Human Sovereign.” Zhong Yue surged back his divine third eye and said while smiling.

Fu Bao placed Xuan Yuan on the ground, and the baby boy ran to the sword. His chubby hand grasped on the sword hilt and he dragged it around on the ground. The divine sword hid all of its prowess, and its divine aura dispersed away and it was just like a toy sword, not even the sword blade could harm little Xuan Yuan.

Weird…, Zhong Yue was puzzled, he thought, Bi Xie Celestial Emperor has still escaped, why didn’t Human Sovereign kill him?
