Chapter 851

“Stop! This Magical Beast’s corpse was found by our Wind Leopard race! If you’re smart, you’ll immediately scram!” shouted someone upon seeing Long Chen come . These people were extremely tall, while their ears and noses were similar to a leopard .

Long Chen actually did know about the Wind Leopard race . They had been at the same entrance as him . Ouyang Qiuyu had introduced them to him .

“Laughable . You found it, so it’s yours? Then I say that the Immemorial Path was found by me . So according to you, the Immemorial Path is mine?” sneered Long Chen . Just looking at their arrogant manner irritated him .

These ancient races felt themselves to be above the human race . In truth, Long Chen also looked down on them, because they were actually the descendants of humans mating with beasts .

They possessed the human race’s blood, but they also possessed the blood of ancient beasts . The strength of their physical bodies was many times stronger than an ordinary human cultivator due to that influence, giving them a large advantage .

There were some ancient beasts who possessed pure bloodlines . They were not called Magical Beasts . Instead, they called themselves Xuan Beasts, and they were able to transform into a full human form .

In ancient times, there had been a period of peace when human experts had intermarried with Xuan Beasts, birthing children that had inherited a portion of both their strengths .

Later, for some unknown reason, there had been an immense battle between the Xuan Beasts and the human cultivators . Their relationships had also fractured .

That caused an awkward consequence . The descendants of the two sides had ended up being abandoned . Neither side accepted them .

Then for some other unknown reason, the Xuan Beasts had declined . Many of them had disappeared . As for the human race, they had also been greatly weakened . The ones possessing both their bloodlines ended up becoming the greatest force back then . They had called themselves the ancient races . It was said that they had led the Martial Heaven Continent for quite a long time .

Ouyang Qiuyu guessed that the only reason that had occurred was because an immense war had been fought between the humans and the Xuan Beasts . Their inheritances were severed as their elites fell . As for the ancient races, they had become the greatest benefactors .

Later, the human race had finally erupted after being suppressed by the ancient races for too long . An intense war was fought . During that prolonged war, the human race gave birth to several shocking experts, allowing them to suppress the ancient races .

In the end, the ancient races had no choice but to compromise . The two sides formed an agreement, saying neither side would attack the other . As a result, the battle between the human race and the ancient races had only just ended when the human race’s interior fragmented again .

Back then, a portion of the human race had said that they should destroy the ancient races while they could . They wanted to pull them up by the roots and make them completely extinct .

There was another portion who thought there was no need to slaughter them all . Even if they won and the ancient races were exterminated, it would cost them dearly . And after all, they still possessed a blood connection .

As a result, the disharmony in the human race grew more and more . In the end, weapons had been raised . They had met on the battlefield . One side felt that the other was being excessively merciful . They were leaving behind a disaster for their descendants that would sooner or later erupt . The other side felt that their opponents were too cruel . The ancient races weren’t Magical Beasts . Even if they couldn’t be treated as humans, they couldn’t be treated as beasts .

After all, the ancient races’ numbers had been enormous back then, and their appearance was similar to humans . They had women and children . How could they bring down the butcher’s knife on them? Why not give them a chance so that there could be peace?

In their fury, the experts who had proposed slaughtering them directly left the human race’s army and began a slaughter of the ancient races on their own . Their numbers were too low, and so they were unable to face the ancient race’s army head-on . The only thing they could do was target their weaker members .

Those weaker members were the ancient race’s women and children . An enormous number of them were slaughtered by those human experts . They were extremely vicious, and any member of the ancient races would be slaughtered . They said that enemies were enemies, and they wouldn’t give them time to grow .

Their actions infuriated the ancient races and the human race . Both sides joined together to handle them . As a result, through numbers and power, those vicious human experts suffered defeat after defeat .

Just as they were about to be exterminated, a heaven-shaking reversal occurred . Back then, the void had been ripped apart . A black figure had appeared in the sky and saved those people .

Those people swore that they would make the foolish human race pay a price for their actions . As a result, they formed the Corrupt path . As for the black figure that had saved them, it became their Corrupt God .

After a brief moment of peace, once the Corrupt path had rested and restored their power, they began to launch attacks against the Righteous path .

The Corrupt path had suddenly gained extremely terrifying cultivation techniques that increased their power through slaughter . Their cultivation speed was horrifyingly fast .

The Righteous path attacked back, but the Corrupt path fought guerilla warfare . After killing everyone in one place, they would disappear .

The Righteous path suddenly realized, they weren’t just killing people; they were also capturing children . Without even thinking about it, they knew they were raising them to be their new experts .

At that time, the Righteous path had realized that the situation wasn’t good . Continuing like this wasn’t a solution . They had to think of a way to stop the Corrupt path . But the Corrupt path was like the wind, and their lair was hidden .

Due to this, the Righteous path asked the ancient races for help . The ancient races had quite a few experts that had inherited divine abilities from the Xuan Beasts . They could assist the Righteous path in finding the Corrupt path’s lair, and then they could work together to exterminate them .

But what infuriated the Righteous path was that the ancient races actually refused to help . Later, they realized the Corrupt path was only targeting the Righteous path . They didn’t attack the ancient races .

That enraged the Righteous path mightily . When the Corrupt path had slaughtered the ancient races, it was the Righteous path that had saved them . But now that the Corrupt path was targeting the Righteous path, they actually chose to be spectators .

The ancient races’ conduct was infuriating, but after so much time, they had recovered a great deal of their power .

The Righteous path couldn’t possibly wage a war against the ancient races while fighting the Corrupt path . Quite a few of them wished they really had exterminated the ancient races, but they were helpless about it .

The only thing that the Righteous path could do was fiercely increase their own strength . The fortunate thing was that the Righteous path had countless experts on their side . They established more sects and recruited more disciples, doing their best to raise them .

It went without saying that the Righteous path’s numbers were many, many times that of the Corrupt path . Now that the Righteous path went all-out against the Corrupt path, the Corrupt path immediately suffered a grave blow . Their experts were cut down in droves, and they vanished without a trace .

A few millennia after they vanished, the Righteous experts thought that the Corrupt path had already collapsed from the grave injury they had been dealt . As a result, they had once more begun their melodramatic storyline: internal strife .

Thousands of sects began to get arrogant, refusing to submit to anyone . They crazily expanded their territory, snatching resources and fighting against other powers .

Therefore, just as they were fighting amongst themselves, the Corrupt path suddenly invaded again . Through thousands of years of recovery, the Corrupt path had reached a terrifying level of power . With the Righteous path in their chaotic state, they were dealt a miserable blow by the Corrupt path .

But in the end, the Righteous path simply had too many experts . The Corrupt path had killed so many of their number, snatching all their resources, but they weren’t able to get a complete victory .

The Righteous path had finally awakened . They gathered their supreme powers, supervising them in battle and reconciling their differences . Any powers that refused to listen would be attacked by the rest of the Righteous path .

Although there were still many small struggles, the Righteous path had calmed down . Once the conflict grew to a certain level, powerful and mysterious existences would come out to stop them, mediating the conflict .

With the precedent of the ancient races, Pill Valley also took action . Originally, Pill Valley had been a power of the Righteous path . But then they gradually became independent . To get the greatest profit, they would do business with any side, Righteous or Corrupt .

When they announced their independence, it caused huge waves . Although countless Righteous experts had protested, Pill Valley had still continued with it .

At the same time, another sect suddenly also declared their independence: the Huayun Sect . They established the Huayun auction houses under their banner .

Because Pill Valley was too enormous and controlled the essential medicinal pills, the Righteous path could only accept their independence despite their protests . If they had continued protesting, then Pill Valley would refuse to sell them medicinal pills . But the Huayun sect was different . On the very day they declared their independence, they were beset by countless Righteous experts . A bloody battle had erupted, and the Huayun Sect’s core had been heavily damaged . The Righteous path refused to allow a second Pill Valley to appear .

But the Huayun Sect was tenacious . A few decades later, they once more appeared . As a result, they were once more destroyed . Then the cycle continued, but each time they reappeared, their power would be greater than before .

On the seventeenth time that they appeared, a truly heaven-shaking battle had been fought . Countless experts had fallen, but this time, the Huayun Sect remained standing . The Righteous path was finally afraid .

The Huayun Sect had far too much money . Each time they were destroyed, they would spend an exorbitant amount of money to invite new experts . In fact, they even hired runaways and criminals to use suicidal attacks .

It could be said that the Huayun Sect’s foundation was built through money and lives . Later, the Huayun Sect gradually spread throughout every inch of the Martial Heaven Continent . Any place that had alchemy guilds also had a Huayun auction house .

It was like the Huayun Sect was competing with Pill Valley . In the beginning, Pill Valley had disdained the Huayun Sect, but then it had developed at a shocking rate, making them speechless .

When Pill Valley finally wanted to suppress the Huayun Sect, they found that the Huayun Sect was already everywhere . Most importantly, the Huayun Sect also accepted poor people, and so their religious beliefs were easier for people to accept .

They believed in the Wealth God . They had billions of believers, because it was the Huayun Sect and their Wealth God that had saved them from poverty . It was because of the Huayun Sect that those poor people had managed to step onto the path of cultivation . Their devotion was almost frightening .

If they tried to suppress the Huayun Sect with brute force, they would immediately receive the unfearing attacks from the Huayun Sect’s billions of disciples . Just thinking about that was intimidating .

Therefore, the Huayun Sect had also formed . They along with Pill Valley and the ancient races were existences beyond the Righteous and Corrupt paths .

But although the ancient races announced that they were neutral, they felt a profound hatred for the human race, especially the Corrupt path . They still remembered when they ruled this world . But now they had to stand on the same level as the inferior human race . So they would often provoke the human race, as they always tolerated it . That made their arrogance greater and greater until they stopped giving a damn about the Righteous path’s people .

“Long Chen, if you still don’t scram, you’ll never be able to scram in this life,” said one of the Wind Leopard’s experts, killing intent surging out of his eyes .
