Gu Yue praised, “I am impressed, Mistress Fu and Miss Fu are incredible ladies.”
The Bi Xie Rhino carriage soon entered Hell. Just seconds later, the Elemental Realm’s Realm Lord arrived at the empty scene. Without further ado, the Realm Lord ordered the messengers to deliver Heavenly King Lu’s disappearance to the Bo Luo Six Paths World for Realm Monarch Bo Luo.
Chapter 777: Human Fu Li |
The Starry Road to Heavens was composed of many ancient teleportation formations, each of which were a few hundred galaxies apart.
It was then only Zhong Yue that knew that the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds he saw weren’t the whole universe, but instead, just a small part of it. The universe itself was countless times bigger than the whole of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, but when compared to the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the other parts of the universe were barren and desolate.
But it wasn’t too surprising either, after all, with the emergence of the Six Paths Reincarnations, a majority of the living beings were more than willing to migrate to the Six Paths Worlds in hopes of extending their lives. In stark contrast, the ancient universe didn’t have the Six Paths Reincarnations, leaving the ones that still lived there with comparatively shorter lifespans.
Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi boarded a teleportation formation that was built on a stage. Although, instead of referring to it as a stage, the teleportation formation was, in fact, built on top of an ancient city in the ancient universe.
It was built from a star, but sliced into half by an unknown expert. The ancient city was built on the flat surface and from afar, the city appeared to be incredibly grand and solemn.
That expert even captured a sun and moon and made them orbit around the city, giving way to the creation of mountains and rivers and every other natural phenomenon.
On the city walls were countless deep battle marks.
“Strange, this is the Starry Road, why would there be marks of battles?” Zhong Yue asked curiously.
Jiang Yiqi shook and reply, “As long as there are people, there will be conflict. Wars aren’t uncommon here, let alone a place that has the strategic value that the Starry Road to Heavens does.
When the two arrived at the ancient city, there were a million gods standing on guard vigilantly; clearly, the Zi Wei Galaxy’s higher-ups valued the city greatly.
So many gods, who are they guarding against?
Zhong Yue was puzzled, with the universe now united and ruled by the Heavenly Monarch. No matter the celestial races or demon races, all had bowed upon the Heavenly Monarch’s rulings; unless, they would like to throw their lives away or be imprisoned in the Prison Realms’ Abyss for the rest of their lives.
In an era like this, there was simply no reason for a million gods to stand guard for just one teleportation formation of the whole Starry Road to Heavens.
Hence, there was only one explanation for this – outside of the Zi Wei Imperial Star’s ruling system, there were still some other threats to the supreme ruler’s governance; otherwise, there would be no need for them to do all of this.
“There are forces in the ancient universe that refused to lower their heads to the rulers. There are also some powerful experts that thought the races under the Zi Wei Imperial Star’s governance had defied their nature. The celestials and demons never lived harmoniously. Those that did were regarded as traitors.”
Jiang Yiqi explained, “These forces upheld the nature of their races, they look down upon those in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and they are extremely dangerous. That’s why the million gods are stationed here, to guard against them.”
“Doesn’t the Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch try to exterminate them as well?” Zhong Yue asked.
“The ancient universe is far too huge to be fully conquered. Plus, there are also many hidden innate gods living in the ancient universe, they are presences that even the Heavenly Monarch doesn’t want to interfere with.”
Then, the duo boarded the teleportation formation and left for the next destination, while he continued, “Other than them, there are also many powerful gods who have offended the Rules of Heaven and escaped to seek refuge in the ancient universe.”
Then, he hesitated for a second and said, “Rumors said that there was also a contingent of Fuxi clansmen that sought refuge in the ancient universe a long time ago; but it is unknown if they still exist now.”
Zhong Yue shook his head, those that have escaped from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds were most likely all gone. The evil experts’ curse would progressively seal the Fuxi’s blood generation after generation until their bloodline power became completely sealed.
There was no place for the Fuxi to live, no matter where they were.
But then, how did Si Ming become a pureblood Fuxi ? Zhong Yue’s mind questioned.
It was impossible for a pureblood Fuxi to be born anymore, whereas to create one from a human’s sealed bloodline, Zhong Yue knew just exactly how difficult it was.
But if so, how and where did Si Ming become a pureblood Fuxi?
It was half a year’s time later when they boarded the second teleportation formation. They were now already in the deeper parts of the ancient universe, far from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
Here, the gods that were stationed around the teleportation formation were much stronger than those they had come across previously. From Zhong Yue’s crude estimation, there were more than a few tens of Deity Emperors!
The city walls here were higher, broader, and filled with more than countless battle marks on them. One could just tell how grueling and bloodshed the battles were.
Clearly, the gods in the ancient universe were much stronger, to be able to inflict this kind of damage, but the Zi Wei gods managed to hold the city walls.
Another half a year’s time later, they reached the third teleportation formation. Zhong Yue saw there were heads that hung above the city walls, they were still fresh and dripping blood from the decapitated necks.
Then, there were also many gods seen repairing the city walls, patching the holes and strengthening the walls’ integrity while the other gods were moving the corpses away from the battlefield. Some of these corpses were even buried inside the city walls, using the gods’ strong mortal body and divine blood to enhance the strength of the walls.
“There are Deity Emperors among the dead!” Zhong Yue’s heart palpitated in shock to see even see dead Deity Emperors!
“Normal.” Jiang Yiqi shook, “It is common here for the gods, nothing extraordinary. Let’s make haste, we still have a long way to go.”
Zhong Yue peered into the ancient universe before leaving from the teleportation formation where many gods were coming and going from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.
“Huh? This doesn’t feel right, the number of gods using the teleportal has increased.” Jiang Yiqi said curiously, “Back then, there would only be a few thousand gods at most that would use the teleportal; but now, in the Third Divine City alone, there are over ten thousand gods. What is happening here?”
Then, when Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi arrived at the Fourth Divine City, an air of battling aura and killing intent surged into their faces, causing them to also raise their arcane energy to resist the overwhelming aura.
They looked around and saw the whole ancient city in silence and the gods stood in vigilance while clenching their divine weapons tightly. On the higher ground were Deity Emperors turning into their true forms and or their strongest battle forms, each and every one of them looked like peculiar celestial beings.
A Creator! Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, he looked at the city center square and saw an independent dimension of golden lights hovering above it, and in the dimension sat atop it had a divine aura.
His aura alone seemed to create a world around him, a world where golden lotuses bloomed and withered, a world where the only color was gold.
This was only achievable by a Creator!
The guardian to the Fourth Divine City was a Creator!
Even the Creator was a guard, what exactly could stress them this much?
Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi looked out and saw in the midst of the ancient universe’s starry sky, there was a patch of golden cloud flying toward them.
The golden cloud was speedy, it took only moments to reach a planet and covered the planet in it. Then, when it moved again, the planet turned barren and was left with holes everywhere.
“That is…” Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically as he saw the golden cloud’s true nature — a swarm of golden insect gods!
For the insect swarm was flying in the ancient universe and at such a tremendous speed, they were clearly the insect gods!
Whereas for them to be able to devour a planet in such a short time, they would naturally be numbered more than one could count!
And now, the patch of golden cloud was flying toward them. The whole of Fourth Divine City dimmed down as the golden insects covered the sun in it and started devouring it!
The insect gods flew into the sun and sucked the sun’s energy dry. When the golden cloud left, the sun was now extinguished and only a dark and hallow astronomical body was left on the spot!
“Oh my…” Jiang Yiqi’s heart skipped a beat, he quickly pulled Zhong Yue to his side and whispered, “Although there are insects in the ancient universe, the appearance of such a huge swarm of insects is nothing I’ve heard before. There must be a culprit who is responsible for this. I am afraid the Fourth Divine City won’t hold long, we should leave now!”
Zhong Yue nodded. The insects were clearly not just passing by, they have been strengthening themselves by devouring the energies of the astronomical bodies on their way here, all so they could take down the Fourth Divine City.
But just when they were entering the teleportation formation, Zhong Yue saw the insect gods shrouding the skies of the Fourth Divine City and centered around a giant when the giant stared a pair of cold eyes at the gods.
“A human!” Zhong Yue exclaimed in utter shock.
Jiang Yiqi also stopped and looked at the giant. The giant was incredibly brawny with bulging muscles, donned with only short pants made of beast hide and clenched a bone mace in his hands; as well as the ability to control the swarm of insect gods.
Under his feet were two huge Mother Queens who he has tamed into insect pets.
“He is really a human!” Jiang Yiqi’s face turned dramatically, he also exclaimed in shock, “He is the descendants of the Fuxi in the ancient universe!”
“Fuxi descendants…” Zhong Yue’s eyes were filled with complex emotions when he looked at the human giant. Whereas the human giant’s eyes were glancing over the Fourth Divine City, shuddering the dimension and sparked lightning everywhere he looked at; a sign that he has awakened the Leizhe blood in him.
All of a sudden, the giant saw Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi and became startled.
Whereas in the city, the gods, even the Deity Emperors were soaked in their sweats, their hearts strained in anxious while the Creator city guardian sat unmovingly as the gods’ breath grew harder.
The insect gods had outnumbered them greatly that even if they could win, countless would die!
It was then that the giant turned and left, he disappeared in the midst of golden insects; and the golden cloud flew away deeper into the ancient universe.
“A human is here today, I will spare your lives and save it for another day.” The giant’s voice rumbled like thunder as he said.
Then, the gods in the Fourth Divine City heaved a breath of relief, most even nearly collapsed to the ground in the after fear. Only the Creator remained tranquil, but one could tell he was also much relaxed.
“He is the human Fu Li of the ancient universe, warred the Fourth Divine City for more than countless times. Who knew he would leave for a human.” The Creator said solemnly, “Do we have a human here in the Fourth Divine City? Please, invite him over for me.”
But Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi had already left.
Chapter 778: Kill! |
The portal’s cosmic light brought Zhong Yue and the others right into the Fifth Divine City. On their journey, Zhong Yue also managed to catch a glimpse of the ancient ruins made from the debris of the planets that were destroyed in the ancient war.
These ruins were scattered around this Starry Road, and just from looking at them, one can only guess that scale of the war that created them.
Fortunately, the Starry Road had remained intact amidst all the chaos. Besides, the existence within Zi Wei Galaxy probably held this Starry Road with great importance as it was the only path that linked the Zi Wei Galaxy and the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds together. Although those on the same level as the Imperial Emperor were still able to travel as usual with their owns strength even after the path was lost, the others with inferior strength were not able to do so.
Even for Creators, at least a thousand years time was required if they tried to travel with their own strength and those on the Deity Emperor level would take even more time!
Thus, this path was very important and it must be treated with extreme care.
As such, in the nine teleportals floating quietly within the ancient universe, there were a quite a few experts that guarded them.
Something is not right….
Jiang Yiqi suddenly pressed his hands downwards and the teleportal cosmic light slowed down right away. Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat at seeing this rather incredible display of strength.
He had seen such moves once when Creator He Lan halted the teleportal cosmic light; the technique used by Jiang Yiqi was extremely similar to Creator He Lan’s when his endless waves of mist had the teleportal cosmic light infinitely came to a complete stop.
Is he a Creator as well? How strong is the Human Sovereign then?
After suppressing the teleportal cosmic light, Jiang Yiqi looked towards the front and said loudly with a freezing cold tone, “Which senior martial brother is fooling with me? May I have the honor of greeting you?”
However, instead of being greeted by someone, they were all greeted with silence and Zhong Yue failed to see anything suspicious. Suddenly, the void ahead of them trembled as lasers shot out of seemingly nowhere. Within seconds, the lasers formed huge nets that hung right ahead of the cosmic light.
The holes between the nets were extremely tiny, and with that, one could imagine what would happen to the two of them if they rammed right into these nets!
They would be sliced and diced into thousands of pieces!
As the nets emerged from the dark, they stacked right together and spun rapidly before they sliced towards Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi. At the same time, a horrendous expert rosed from the back of the nets; a person was carrying a cone shaped divine weapon atop his shoulder. And the terrifying energy started condensing on the tip of the weapon. Before the energy ball was even launched, it already gave off the sensation of death.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiqi sneered and he suddenly spat a fiery dragon out of his mouth which slithered and burned right through the nets.
The old man then grabbed onto the fiery dragon’s tail and with a simple shake, the old man shook away the flames cloaking around the dragon. As the flames dispersed, the true form of the dragon was revealed. It was a fiery dragon spear that was forged from some kind of rare flame.
As the spear emerged, it emitted scorching heat that made Zhong Yue’s hair curl. The heat was even stronger than Zhong Yue’s Innate Yang Qi! The old man, Jiang Yiqi, who looked just like an ordinary old man with nothing significant had revealed his fangs by fearlessly charging right into the array of nets!
Meanwhile, the enemy had also launched a strange beam out of his conical weapon. Even within the sun there was no such laser and Zhong Yue was curious how did this person managed to create such a weapon that could shoot laser.
The laser reeked of death and as it collided with Jiang Yiqi’s spear, the laser split and dispersed into different dimensions.
Though Jian Yiqi’s attack appeared to be just a simple spear lunge, it emanated with the enmity of a dragon. At the same time, the split laser that flew everywhere turned around and pierced towards Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi from all directions.
Krong—
With a loud explosion, the hostile man swung the weird cone towards the tip of the spear, which was then pierced right through by the spear. With a little bit of strength, Jiang Yiqi pierced his spear even deeper into the cone before he spun his spear swiftly.
Dragon scales sharper than swords emerged from the spear’s body, spun and destroyed the cone’s inner.
“Such skills! No wonder the Human Sovereign chose you! But you are still weaker than me, Jiang Yiqi!”
The man laughed even after his weapon was destroyed as the countless laser from before was already right in front of Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi and these lasers all contained terrifying power!
“The rays from a black hole? You are one of the human leaders in the Zi Wei Galaxy, your name is Bo Tuo?”
Jiang Yiqi roared and suddenly, his old body enlarged and his skinny and old body suddenly became a muscular and gigantic. Half draconic and half human, Jiang Yiqi now had dragon scales all over his body that effortlessly deflected the laser beams that struck him.
At the same time as Jiang Yiqi moved, Zhong Yue whipped out a mirror and hid within it while the lasers that went right after him were all reflected back upon hitting the mirror’s surface.
On the other hand, the dragon scales on Jiang Yiqi’s body stood up and he ignited his Leizhe bloodline right away. The old man’s aura spiked suddenly and with the like a real dragon in the sun, his spear shattered the cone divine weapon before slamming right onto Bo Tuo’s shoulder.
“You are a human as well, why the hostility and the killing intent? Are we not from the same race?”
