Chapter 1199: A Thousand Years of Hegemony, An Eternity of Rule!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This matter was definitely unprecedented, but might not necessarily remained unsurpa.s.sed. Young Master Jun still had the capability to create a bigger scene. But with this sort of awkwardness experienced today, Young Master Jun wouldn’t do it again even if it killed him!
As to the others, even if they had this sort of capability and resource, they may not be as willing as Young Master Jun to be so wasteful about it!
So the grand occasion today was unprecedented, unsurpa.s.sable, and difficult to occur again!
Three days later…
This tremendous, noisy Heavenly Tribulation finally announced its end.
Jun Mo Xie was bored to death staying up there, and all his bones were aching. The instant the Heavenly Tribulation ended, he ducked into the Hongjun PaG.o.da with a whoosh. Showering, sleeping, or even meeting the ladies in private, any one of it was fine; either way, he just didn’t show his face again.
The Heavenly Tribulation had dissipated, but everyone’s ears remained ringing with the sound of thunder a good while.
The thundering had gone on for three days and nights consecutively, and it was no ordinary lightning and thunder, but a Heavenly Tribulation ah…
Even though everyone got used to it.
Young Master Jun’s exhibition of his skills naturally stirred many discussions.
It was not only the three Holy Lands, but even Tian Fa warriors were impressed with their brother-in-law. They all still found it impressive that they managed to go through the Heavenly Tribulation so safely. They gathered in groups to share their praises.
Other things may not be real, but the increase in strength after this round of tribulation could not be faked. Feeling the immense amount of power in their bodies, everyone felt a sense of contentment.
At this moment, their desire to battle surged greatly!
What are the strange races? If they dare to come, we’ll kill all of them!
As to the strange races, after waiting for three days, they finally made their move.
After all, this sort of grand Heavenly Tribulation was not something common to see.
Witnessing and experiencing Jun Mo Xie’s otherworldly divineness, Gu Han, the number one person of the Holy Lands, couldn’t help but feel a sincere sense of shame. This was not something ordinary humans are capable of!
Perhaps, only the G.o.dly prodigies in legends will have this sort of capabilities!
But it’s a pity that Holy Land and Jun Mo Xie had been enemies for a long time, from start to end. And now, with Xia Chang Tian and the rest causing the sacrifice of Tian Fa’s warriors, the enmity between both sides are already at the point beyond reconciliation.
Otherwise, with just Jun Mo Xie’s skills, how many losses would he be able to help Holy Land salvage? How many people can no longer fear the dangers of a lightning tribulation? We have truly made an unwise move ah…
Just as Gu Han was feeling a sense of loss and sighed, there was a series of movement in the air, causing it to be unstable. This sudden fluctuation in the air was laced with a feeling of extreme danger.
Gu Han’s eyes glinted and hollered: “Who comes?”
A hoa.r.s.e, odd voice cackled from the air. “As expected of Gu Han, this sort of exceptional senses is truly incomparable. Old friend, it has been another five hundred years. How have you been?”
Gu Han’s pupils constricted. “So it was you?!”
“Hahaha… of course it’s me, who else can it be!” Another series of peculiar fluctuation in the air, slowly, all the air also began to behave in the same manner. It was impossible to tell where this person was hiding.
“A big matter like the collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains was something we’ve been pining for a long time! We’ve been waiting for ten thousand years! Today, the Pillar of Heavens Mountains has collapsed, which also officially announce the fall of the Xuan Xuan continent and the three Holy Lands. Brother Gu Han, we’ve known each other for a while; I really can’t bear to watch a legend of his own generation to fall into ruins like this. There’s a saying in the Xuan Xuan continent that goes ‘A wise man submits to circ.u.mstances’. Don’t tell me that you still can’t tell where this situation is heading?!” That odd voice remained faint and indiscernible.
“Bullsh*t! Where is the situation heading!” Gu Han yelled furiously. “If you strange races dare to come in, you are destined to forget about going back alive! This is where the real situation is heading!”
“Ai…” That voice sighed disappointedly, and said melancholically, “Brother Gu Han, you are still the same as our first meeting three thousand years ago. But a pity is that your luck is no longer as good as before anymore.”
He let out a deep sigh. “Gu Han, do you still remember that before the establishment of the battlefield of the War for Seizing the Heavens, back then, at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, there was a stone tablet? Perhaps other people may not know or recall what was written on it, but you should know it, right?”
“Stone tablet?” Gu Han’s face was shocked. “Stone tablet…”
The person Gu Han did not exist at the time that the voice spoke of. It was indeed a long time ago, and not many people knew. Even if they knew, they may not remember. But in the most ancient, secret records in the Heaven Saint Palace, it was once recorded down. There once stood a stone tablet on the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
That stone tablet was erected by the number one person of Xuan Xuan, the Nine Nether First Young Master, personally. What was written on it was a prophecy by the Nine Nether First Young Master. But since the accidental collapse of half of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains eight thousand years ago, that stone tablet also went missing.
That person concealed in the void let out a soft sigh and said, “You humans really forget about your roots, ah. To think that no one is able to remember such an important matter. Even the head of the Heaven Saint Palace has also allowed it to slip from his mind, how truly lamentable ah!”
“Nonsense! How could I forget? Of course I remember. But I have no duty to let you hear it!” Gu Han snapped. Recalling what was written on that stone tablet, he couldn’t help but let out a heartfelt sigh.
Could all of this really be the will of the heavens? Everything was predestined?!
“Hahaha…” The air quaked. That eerie voice recited slowly. “The Nine Illusory Quicksand turns into emptiness in the wind; the Pillar of Heavens Mountain collapses and both sides contend for supremacy; the demise of the three Holy Land, turning into emptiness; shattering like a dream; thousands years of hegemony, by the evil skills of ten thousand years!”
When the voice recited this inscription, it was clear that he was calm and composed, and with a tinge of respect in his tone.
Gu Han’s face darkened. Indeed, this was the content written in the secret records of Heaven Saint Palace.
He never imagined that the strange races would also know of it!
“Gu Han, you need not be too astonished. I may have known of the contents for a long time, but I only fully understood the meaning of it only now.” That person continued to speak slowly. “Of course, I had already known about the matter with the Nine Illusory Quicksand three thousand years ago.”
“What?!” Gu Han widened his eyes. “You know? How did you know?!”
“This is not important! And is not the main point! What is truly important is the meaning of what was written on the tablet. Do you understand it?” That voice chuckled softly. “Gu Han, I believe that you would be able to understand it with your intelligence?”
Gu Han broke out in perspiration, his voice turning hoa.r.s.e. “Chuangshang Beidao! You don’t need to be gleeful because of this! Things may not be as you think! Anything is possible! Everything has yet to be set into stone yet!”
The person speaking was the current leader of the strange races, also the number one expert of the strange races! Chuangshang Beidao! He could be considered old acquaintances with Gu Han. The past three thousand years of War for Seizing the Heavens had always took place under the control and management of Gu Han and Chuangshang Beidao.
That voice chuckled, this time, with two different voices chuckling mockingly. One was chuckled eerily, while the other was a giggle.
“‘The Nine Illusory Quicksand turns into emptiness in the wind’. What this is describing is very simple: the Nine Illusory Quicksand that supported the Pillar of Heavens Mountains for ten thousand years vanished due to some reason. So the Pillar of Heavens Mountains collapsed.” Chuangshang Beidao chuckled as he patiently explained.
“‘The ‘Pillar of Heavens Mountain collapses and both sides contend for supremacy.’ You wouldn’t need me to explain this, right? As to ‘the demise of three Holy Land, turning into emptiness’, it’s none other than to say that the three Holy Lands are about to be doomed.”
Chuangshang Beidao sneered gleefully. “As to ‘shattering like a dream’, what I interpreted was that the continent that the three Holy Lands have been protecting for ten thousand years was merely a long dream! Since it is a dream, you’ll have to wake up sooner or later.”
“Nonsense!” Gu Han bellowed, suddenly pouncing towards the air in a flash.
A series of boom rang out, as if someone had exchanged a few blows with Gu Han. Then, the air began to fluctuate intensely again.
Gu Han drifted back onto the ground, his eyes staring at the air, warily.
“Not bad! Looks like you already can locate where I am. But, this is still not enough.” The voice in the air changed and seemed to be coming from all directions.
Gu Han laughed. “Indeed, it is indeed still not enough.”
The moment the other party changed their hiding techniques, Gu Han could no longer find him. Gu Han undoubtedly had the strongest cultivation in the three Holy Lands, but he didn’t have the All Seeing Eye like Qiao Ying, so he was unable to see past the strange races’ concealing techniques.
“What follows is that last line.” Chuangshang Beidao rejoiced. “Gu Han, I have to say, it is truly pleasing to tease you once every five hundred years like this! I really like this feeling and will never get sick of it!”
Gu Han scoffed coldly. “But it’s a pity that every time we battle, you always flee the fastest. If there comes a time where you behave uprightly like a human, perhaps I’ll hold you in better regards.”
“Unfortunately, you still do not have the rights to make me do that.” Chuangshang Beidao cackled. “Then, the last sentence, ‘thousands years of hegemony, by the evil skills of ten thousand years!’ Hahaha, this is clearly saying that we, the Divine Sun clan, will be able to dominate the continent for ten thousand years!”
He cackled gleefully. “You humans always called us evil existences; our skills are naturally considered evil skills! Haha, this ‘evil skills of ten thousand years’ is definitely referring to the skills we use! We are more than willing to acknowledge this. There is definitely no mistake. Don’t tell me that all you righteous scoundrels would be willing to say that your Xuan skills are evil?”
