Chapter 1395: Wanggu’s First Sovereign

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the current Wanggu, very few people knew about the God Destroying Thorn.

It wasn’t mentioned even in most ancient books.

Only those incomplete records that had been passed down until now, or the ancient families would have a certain understanding of these three words.

That was a weapon specially created by the Summer Immortal to deal with the gods in the war between the Profound Earth and the former owner of Wanggu, the Brilliant Heaven God Race.

To cultivators, it didn’t have any extraordinary might, but against gods… it could destroy Their divine source!

However, due to the unique and rare materials, only forty-two of them were created back then.

Every single one of them was tainted by a large amount of divine blood of the Brilliant Heaven God Race. It could even be said that the gods would be shaken just by hearing its name.

In the end, in the decisive battle when the Brilliant Heaven God Emperor descended, most of the forty-two God Destroying Thorns were destroyed while the remaining ones stabbed the Brilliant Heaven God Emperor.

They had become a seal and were left in the abyss under Wanggu back then.

Some people also called that place the Divine Abyss.

After that, the God Destroying Thorns disappeared from the world. Due to the departure of the Summer Immortal, the refinement method was also lost.

Now, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor actually emitted the power of the God Destroying Thorn.

This was one of the reasons that made Purple Green’s expression turn solemn.

“Unfortunately, it only possesses a portion of its might.”

Crown Prince Purple Green calmly spoke and looked in the direction of the Nanhuang Continent.

“What a good Old Master Seventh!”

“Brother destroyed his soul, going beyond my time to sever karma, and you used yourself as a carving ruler to summon my last breath before I died, stirring the time and severing karma.”

“However… the karma between me and my brother can’t be severed just like that!”

As he spoke, Crown Prince Purple Green pressed down on the black fog formed by Xu Qing’s self-destruction.

With this push, the fog rumbled. The power of time actually appeared on it, as though it wanted to pull it into space and time.

At the same time, in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, as Xu Qing’s soul self-destructed, a drastic change that affected many Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivators also appeared.

The source of this drastic change was… Flame Mystic, who was preaching the Dao to his clansmen.

At that instant, his body suddenly split open. As countless drops of blood sprayed out, Flame Mystic couldn’t even complete what he was saying before he shattered into pieces.

His body and soul collapsed.

Life substitution.

Only a wisp of remnant soul was preserved in this life-substituting tribulation because he had sent it to the temple before.

It left behind the possibility of revival in the future.

A similar thing also happened in the Nanhuang Continent.

In the array formation formed by hundreds of thousands of Seven Blood Eyes cultivators in the old site of Peerless City,

the huge silver giant trembled intensely.

The mysterious connection of fate and the cycle of life and death caused the waves brought by Xu Qing’s self-detonation to not only erupt on Flame Mystic but also rise on this silver giant under the interruption of time.

Cracks instantly appeared on the silver giant’s body. As the moments passed, the cracks grew more numerous and deeper, spreading across its form.

The silver giant showed signs of collapse.

At the critical moment, the Dao voices of the hundreds of thousands of Seven Blood Eyes cultivators in the surroundings changed.

“Supreme Heavenly Venerate, comfort this form, disciple’s soul and body, five viscera profound and mysterious. Azure Dragon and White Tiger, array in formation, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, guard its essence.”

As the voice echoed, the color of the sky changed, winds roared, and clouds churned. The celestial phoenix in the heavens screeched, shattering the eight directions, and rain fell from the sky, nurturing the world.

Old Master Seventh also muttered something. His right hand, which had touched the silver giant’s forehead, pressed down again. At the same time, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It landed on the silver giant, isolating it from external causes.

The cracks on the silver giant’s body finally stopped increasing. Although it looked like it was riddled with holes and couldn’t be healed, it didn’t truly collapse in the end.

Old Master Seventh slowly raised his head and said in a hoarse and murderous voice.

“I had an agreement with the Summer Immortal Palace back then.”

“Since then, I have walked through time, witnessing life and death, and letting fate take its course.”

“Therefore, although it hurt to see the Sixth© die, I could only sigh.”

“The rise and fall of the human race are also unrelated to me.”

“Even if the Empress became a god and the Sword Holder fell, it is the same.

It’s all because I have no karma with them.”

“Purple Green, I didn’t care that you wanted to restore your country and use the Empress’ ritual to replace the calamity and sacrifice to the fragmented-face without suffering any damage. This is because all of this has nothing to do with me.”

“So, I didn’t interfere at all.”

“But you shouldn’t have schemed against my disciple!”

“My disciples are all my karma. They kowtowed to me and presented three thought teas, and I promised to protect them. As long as I am here, no one can touch them!”

“Purple Green, since you schemed against my disciple and aren’t willing to cut ties with him, then… this old man will go for your imperial power!”

“Let karma continue, if it must! Let’s just make this matter decisive!”

Old Master Seventh’s expression was grim as he raised his left hand, forming intricate gestures in a matter of seconds, pointing towards the sky.

His sound was as vast as heavenly lightning, like an imperial decree.

“Before, a renowned figure named Xu Zi© was born in this land, exhaling his divine breath, taking his first breath. Today, in the name of the Summer, with the Immortal as the guide, summon this breath back.”

Before, Old Master Seventh used Summer as a command and Immortal as a guide to summon Crown Prince Purple Green’s last breath before he died in his previous life.

Now, he was summoning… the first breath of a person named Xu Zi after he was born here!

As soon as he finished speaking, rumbling sounds rang out in all directions. Wind howled, and the color of the world changed. Endless aura surged over and finally gathered in Old Master Seventh’s left hand, forming a lump of dense purple gas.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the chest of the silver giant below.

At the same time, a rhythmic sound rang out.

“Slash!”

With his word, the mountains and rivers of Wanggu resounded. Throughout all the regions of Wanggu, numerous sparkling lights emerged. The contours of the mountains and the shapes of the rivers seemed to form a massive array.

This array covered Wanggu and was circulating explosively.

Immediately, the sky above the human capital fell, forming a saber that slashed toward Crown Prince Purple Green!

Crown Prince Purple Green’s entire body trembled. The moment he raised his head, the saber had already landed.

Non-True Golds couldn’t stop it!

The saber didn’t slash at one’s life or soul but… the imperial power of fortune of the Purple Green Kingdom that had returned!

The instant the saber slashed down, the hearts of all the living beings who had returned from the Sky Devouring Region trembled. The fortune of the Purple Green Kingdom transformed into a purple dragon and circled the entire Sky Devouring Region, emitting heart-rending wails.

Its body was directly cut into two!

What split into two at the same time was the chair that represented the Purple Green Heavenly Emperor in the Purple Green Kingdom’s palace!

It suddenly split open!

Half of the imperial power was cut off and fell into the void, surging toward the Nanhuang Continent!

In the air above the human capital, Crown Prince Purple Green’s face was pale as he slowly lifted his head.

“What a good first-generation ancient sovereign of Wanggu. It was worth it to fall into your trap.”

“However, your actions also reveal your weakness. You… are still old in the end. The sky in the past didn’t belong to you, and the sky later on doesn’t belong to you either.”

“As for Brother, this half of the imperial authority is yours. However, make sure you keep it well. I’ll take it away next time.”

Purple Green fell silent for a few breaths before his expression returned to normal. After calmly speaking, he retracted his gaze from the Nanhuang Continent and glanced at the black fog that was about to completely dissipate.

He lifted his feet and walked toward the horizon.

In a few steps, he disappeared. When he reappeared, it was in the Sky Devouring Region, in the purple fortune dragon that was wailing after having half of its body cut off.

From this purple dragon of fortune, he reconstructed his new body and wore the emperor’s robe and crown.

Under the kneeling of the countless commoners who had returned with the Purple Green Kingdom, the kowtowing of the palace officials, and the fanaticism of all the Illuminate’s members, Crown Prince Purple Green walked toward the palace and the cracked throne.

The moment he sat down, the singing from the entire Purple Green Kingdom rose to the sky.

“Congratulations to my emperor for ascending the throne!”

Amidst the endless sound, the fragmented-face of the god in the sky opened Its eyes toward the Sky Devouring Region.

Under his gaze, the Sky Devouring Region rumbled and all living beings were mutating. The anomalous substances surged into the sky and there was an endless divine aura.

A fragmented-face statue stood on the square outside the palace.

This was the only one in the entire Wanggu!

As for Crown Prince Purple Green, at this moment, a fluctuation of the Divine Platform appeared.

It rose violently!

This lasted until he reached the peak of the Divine Platform!

After a long time, Purple Green chuckled as the past appeared in his mind.

“Only then will the future be more interesting.”

At the same time, in the array formation formed by hundreds of thousands of people from the Seven Blood Eyes in the Nanhuang Continent, Old Master Seventh’s gaze was ancient and his aura was ancient as he unleashed his last technique.

“Return!”

His words carried an inexplicable sense of ritual, shaking life and death and implicating fate.

In an instant, the countless flesh and blood surrounding the silver giant rose into the air and headed straight for the silver giant.

This flesh and blood emitted a terrifying aura that surpassed the world and was outside of time.

They were… the flesh and blood of Desolate.

At that moment, they fused into the silver giant together. The entire silver giant rumbled and gradually shrunk. Gradually, the silver light turned into skin until finally…

It became a body.

Its appearance was exactly the same as Xu Qing’s!

However, it was more complete and transparent!

“Disciple, why are you still not waking up!”

Old Master Seventh’s voice was hoarse and carried a hint of fatigue. It landed in all directions and also landed beside Xu Qing’s ear.

A few breaths later, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

“The Dao is originally invisible. It can’t be understood without the scriptures and a teacher.”

“Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether started a great undertaking, so our human race needs to bow once to him.”

“Heaven and earth bear the weight of history, so our human race needs to bow three times.”

“However, the high and mighty ancient sovereign hasn’t graced you. The sea of bitterness of all living beings in heaven and earth didn’t spare you.”

“Only a teacher can take you to the sky and tread on the ground. He shall grace you in this life and help you to cross into the next. He will do his best to walk the Great Dao together, so you need to bow nine times to him!”
