The sky churned, causing waves akin to fish scales, vast and sweeping, spreading beyond the visible horizon.
As if a presence crushed the clouds and scattered them like petals across the sky, decorating the void.
Within the clouds and mist, dewdrops gathered to form a river called Time, churning waves of time that flowed from a distance and halted above the Evil Life Holy Land.
Suppress this mountain, suppress the cultivators in the mountain, and suppress the sea.
The Evil Life Holy Land shook and the array formation barrier fluctuated intensely.
The hearts of the cultivators were shocked. All of them panted and their souls trembled.
The seawater in all directions completely caved in, forming a huge vortex. It was so deep that one could see the dilapidated Corpse Forbidden.
Its aura was imposing and earth-shattering.
It attracted all the attention here.
Under the attention of all parties, a G.o.d walked over from the waves in the sky.
This G.o.d wore an imperial robe formed by divine aura and an imperial crown formed by fortune. He was expressionless and divine fire spread out from His entire body. At the same time, the aura of death spread densely.
As for His eyes, they were completely calm, like stagnant water.
However, there was great terror hidden in the stagnant water.
It was fine if it didn’t erupt, but once it did, it would instantly emit a destructive light.
That was the divine authority of war!
The G.o.d who walked over was none other than… the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph among the five Human Emperor Corpse G.o.ds!
He came over with His eyes closed. The moment He descended, His eyes suddenly opened, revealing His pitch-black eyes. An extreme sense of destruction and power erupted from His body.
He stared at the Evil Life Holy Land!
Amidst the rumbling of the holy land, the divine voice from the Eastern Triumph echoed vastly.
“By the decree of Empress Parting Summer, I am here to inquire of the Holy Land of Evil Life: by involving our Grand Tutor Xu Qing in your karma, are you all seeking death for your entire race?”
As soon as Eastern Triumph’s voice rang out, it was like heavenly lightning had exploded.
Parting Summer was the Empress’ imperial t.i.tle.
All the Evil Life cultivators in the holy land were horrified. Only the Evil Life Ancestor frowned and was about to speak.
However, at this moment, in the River of Time in the sky, waves rumbled and the river instantly turned pitch-black. A cold feeling suddenly erupted.
Countless corpses appeared in the long river and let out mournful cries.
Corpses also appeared on the Forbidden Sea.
The Corpse Forbidden was even more shaken.
It was as though there were signs of recovery.
This was because the descending darkness came from the divine authority of the underworld.
Under the envelopment of this aura of death, the sky turned into pitch-black river water and a G.o.d appeared.
He also wore an imperial robe formed by divine aura and an imperial crown formed by fortune.
The person who came was the Human Emperor Mystic War!
The instant He appeared, his power overflowed into the sky.
Two of the five Human Emperor Corpse G.o.ds of the human race had arrived!
At this moment, the clansmen of the Evil Life Holy Land couldn’t help but tremble. Even the heart of that Evil Life Ancestor sank heavily.
His gaze landed outside the array formation.
To the east of the mountain-protecting array, there were countless troops from Fenghai County. They were on guard, as though they could charge and crush everything in the next instant.
In the south was King Zhen Yan. Killing intent rose and the human army behind him emitted a monstrous murderous aura.
The Moon Offering Region was in the north. Its aura was sharp and indicated endless killing.
In the west… the two G.o.ds’ might enveloped the area and shook the sea.
Above him was the Flame Phoenix. Although it had stopped diving, as it spread its wings, its might shocked the nine heavens.
Endless killing intent suppressed the Evil Life Holy Land from all directions.
They were all here for Xu Qing!
The sigh in Evil Life Ancestor’s mind became even more intense.
However, the arrivals continued.
The sky was torn apart at this moment.
A giant that was hundreds of thousands of feet long tore through the sky and laughed sinisterly at the Evil Life Holy Land below. After that, it moved aside, revealing the world behind it.
The divine mountain of the three Flame Moon G.o.ds appeared in the rift.
Although there was a rift between them, the G.o.ds’ aura still spread out even more astonishingly at this instant. A cold voice rang out from a G.o.d and followed the rift in the sky, landing on the Forbidden Sea.
“Those who dare to touch my race’s Grand Mystic Heaven are the enemies of my Flame Moon Mystic Heaven!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the waves of the Forbidden Sea were also affected. They flowed slowly and an intense pressure descended from the rift, causing the array formation of the Evil Life Holy Land to ripple even more.
The expression of Evil Life Ancestor was extremely solemn.
He naturally knew about the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven and understood how terrifying the three flawlessness G.o.ds were.
What happened today made him change his understanding of Xu Qing from just information to experiencing it personally.
Xu Qing… had great significance in w.a.n.ggu’s eastern area.
Transient Evil touched someone who couldn’t be touched.
Evil Life Ancestor realized everything. It was just that… once he admitted what had happened today, regardless of whether Xu Qing was alive or dead, Transient Evil would definitely die.
If Transient Evil hadn’t advanced to the Sovereign Realm, this matter would be simple. He would definitely find the culprit and try his best to resolve it. Even if the other party was executed, it would be insignificant compared to the race.
‘However… the moment Transient Evil advanced to the Ruler realm, the meaning of his existence was the meaning of the race’s existence.’
At the thought of this, Evil Life Ancestor sighed again. He knew that it was impossible for him to tell the truth. No matter what, he, who wasn’t far from the end of his life, had to protect Transient Evil.
This was the wisest choice in the midst of uncertainty.
‘Transient Evil, I hope your choice is correct.’
Evil Life Ancestor muttered inwardly. After that, he took a deep breath and looked at the various parties outside before speaking.
“As the current ancestor of the Evil Life Holy Land, I swear on the Dao!”
“I’ve never seen Xu Qing, whom you guys are looking for. Xu Qing’s matter has nothing to do with me or my race’s holy land.”
“My race…”
Evil Life’s voice echoed but before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He retreated and his cultivation base erupted with all his might.
Previously, when the Flame Phoenix arrived, he was solemn.
When the Moon Offering came, his expression was solemn.
The appearance of Fenghai County and the human army made his heart sink.
The descent of the two G.o.ds of the human race made it troublesome for him.
Flame Moon’s appearance made him feel wariness.
However, this time, he was horrified!
Almost at the instant he retreated, a woman’s hand appeared out of thin air outside the holy land’s array formation and gently pressed down.
With this push, the array formation protecting the holy land suddenly rumbled, emitting a deafening sound. At the same time, the entire array formation echoed with the sound of shattering.
Cracks swept in all directions with the palm as the center.
In an instant, this array formation was like a spider web, on the verge of collapse. As the holy land’s mountain swayed and a large amount of spiritual energy surged in, it attempted to repair it.
However, that hand seemed to suppress everything and isolate it.
It contained a domineering will as it ruthlessly pressed inward.
In that instant, it was as though the world had collapsed.
The array formation barrier around the Evil Life Holy Land had guarded this race for countless years and needed at least a peak Great Emperor to break through.
However, the erosion of time had weakened its power, and the Evil Life Holy Land had not seen another Great Emperor in many years, making it difficult to replenish the array.
Hence, at this moment, the power from that hand finally touched the critical point of this array formation.
After that, the array formation was like a shattered mirror…
Amidst the shocking sounds, it instantly exploded.
It shattered and collapsed.
Countless array formation fragments transformed into a storm that swept toward the holy land with a terrifying pressure and speed.
The expression of the Evil Life Ancestor changed drastically as he retreated. At the same time, he had already raised his hands. Under the eruption of his cultivation base, he went all out to block it.
For a time, there were endless rumbling sounds.
In the end, although he barely blocked the storm, it was only a portion.
30% of the array formation fragments landed on the holy land.
The mountain of the holy land trembled and countless cracks instantly appeared. This was especially so for the peak of the mountain, which was directly erased.
As for the evil life cultivators… many of them didn’t even have time to react before their bodies turned to ashes under the storm.
Only at this moment did the owner of the hand slowly reveal their figure.
The instant they appeared, regardless of whether it was Fenghai, Holy Wave, Moon Offering, or the Flame Phoenix, all of them lowered their heads.
“Greetings, Empress!”
The person who came was none other than the human Empress, Parting Summer.
It wasn’t Her main body but a projection.
However, even so, the might of the Divine Platform was still enough to shake everything here.
Her tall and straight figure was like a mountain. Fortune surrounded Her and She shone brightly. She stood outside the collapsed array formation and looked at the damaged Evil Life Holy Land mountain and the pale-faced Evil Life Ancestor as She calmly spoke.
“Xu Qing is indeed not here and you have nothing to do with him.”
“However, there’s still one more Ruler of your race.”
“Since you’ve given up on cooperating, Evil Life Holy Land shall be sealed for now. If Xu Qing dies, your race will be buried with him.”
With three sentences, the sealing power from the Divine Platform descended violently, enveloping the Evil Life Holy Land and landing on all their clansmen, becoming shackles.
Even that ancestor was no exception.
After the shackles wrapped around them, the heavy pressure caused all the members of the Evil Life Race to kneel down. Many of them spat out blood and their bodies showed signs of collapsing.
As for that ancestor, he tried but couldn’t resist this seal…
In the end, he lowered his head.
Only the Empress stood in the world and looked into the depths of the Forbidden Sea before looking in the direction of the Nanhuang Continent.
A few breaths later, She seemed to be in deep thought. She retracted Her gaze and calmly spoke.
“Seal Eastern w.a.n.ggu, teleportation and cross-region movements will not be permitted. Send the decree of the human race to all the forces in the Eastern w.a.n.ggu.”
“Anyone who finds my race’s Grand Tutor, Xu Qing, will be bestowed with a divine fire opportunity.”
“The sky, the earth, the rivers, vegetation, all living beings, the Heavenly Daos, and the G.o.ds, listen to my orders!”
The Empress’ voice was heard by countless living beings and existences in the entire east of w.a.n.ggu, including the Forbidden Sea. All of their hearts rumbled and stirred greatly.
Countless divine creatures became excited. A large number of foreign races felt huge waves in their hearts and greed rose.
Immediately after, the words that caused the hearts of all the existences in the Eastern w.a.n.ggu to fluctuate intensely again spread in all directions from Flame Moon’s direction.
“Spread the decree of the Flame Moon to the Eastern w.a.n.ggu. All living beings, listen up. The G.o.ds have issued an order and all living beings shall obey.”
“Those who find my race’s Grand Mystic Heaven, Xu Qing, will be bestowed with a divine fire opportunity.”
The human race’s decree, the Flame Moon’s decree. The overlapping of these two decrees made it the supreme will of the Eastern w.a.n.ggu.
Now, it was like a meteorite had fallen into the sea, stirring up endless waves, turning into a tsunami, a hurricane, and erupting in every area in the eastern part of w.a.n.ggu.
This was something that had never happened in the countless years in the east of w.a.n.ggu.
Everyone went crazy over the divine fire and began to search for Xu Qing!
This was especially so for those divine creatures. They were even more restless than ever.
G.o.ds were no exception. This was because the divine fire opportunity didn’t only refer to ignition but also included the advancement of fire.
At this moment, in the Forbidden Sea, Transient Evil, who had erased all traces of himself and even transformed into the appearance of a human, was carefully moving forward.
The sarcoma on his shoulder was also changed by him, transforming into a large sword that seemed to be on his back.
“Kid, although the paG.o.da you’re in is profound, some things are predestined.”
As he moved forward, Transient Evil calmly transmitted his voice.
In the damaged paG.o.da in the large sword, Xu Qing closed his eyes and continued to meditate..
