Chapter 517 - 508: Golden Crow Race, Emperor Heaven (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The Human Race differs from the Demon Race; the Human Race is more united.
When a Human Race Cultivator falls in battle, they are given certain compensation, and their clan receives some protection, ensuring that heroes don’t both bleed and weep;
However, the Demons are different; internal competition within the Demon Race is fiercer and more bloody.
If it’s the same race, it’s slightly better, but different races often resort to ruthless tactics, frequently taking advantage of others’ misfortunes.
As the battles between the Human Race and Demon Race continue, many weaker demon races are annexed, while some powerful demon races decline; conversely, a few large demon clans grow even stronger.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are fifteen Divinity Transformation Cultivators, including five from the Golden Crow Race and four from the Kunpeng Race.
As for the other major clans, they have at most one Divinity Transformation, or simply none.
The strong become stronger, while the weak become weaker.
This is the Demon Race.
Now, observing the fall of a Divinity Transformation from both the Golden Crow Race and the Kunpeng Race, these two clans suffer heavy losses.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ling’Er is overjoyed.
If the opportunity is right, she would gladly stab these two races a few more times.
As for the Peacock Race, they face the greatest misfortune, with only one Divinity Transformation, which falls during the calamity. The Peacock Race’s enemies from the past will besiege them, forcing the Peacock Race into a predicament.
If their luck is slightly better, they could cede the territory of the Seventh Layer and recuperate in one area.
If luck is bad, the Peacock Race might completely decline, fall out of the Ten Great Royal Families, become a minor clan, or even face extinction.
"The war is about to begin again!"
Bai Ling’Er vanished to prepare some things, guarding against the worst-case scenario.
...
Dang Dang Dang!
At this moment, the bell of the Golden Crow Race began to ring, echoing nine times consecutively.
Upon hearing the bell, the scattered Demon Cultivators around gathered towards the plaza. Arrays surrounding the area activated, with runes rising, while waves of destructive light surged, and numerous flame runes coalesced together, sweeping across thousands of miles.
It seemed as if a giant beast sleeping was awakening, emanating a trace of destructive aura.
Woo Woo Woo!
In the center of the Grand Array, a gigantic Spirit Wood appeared, towering three thousand zhang tall, its bark ancient as if mottled with turtle shells; its enormous, curved branches looked like giant dragons dancing, as if ready to soar into the heavens; its leaves were as large as palm fans, covered in golden radiance, lustrous and dazzling.
The tree rooted deeply in the Spirit Vein, absorbing the Spiritual Fire from deep within the earth to strengthen itself.
Around the tree, golden flames burned, radiating scorching and destructive light, which would have scorched ordinary cultivators approaching the area.
But for the Golden Crow Race, this was the supreme Sacred Land.
On the tree, some nests were built, simple yet luxurious, with Golden Crows nestled in them, seemingly asleep.
Caw Caw Caw!
At that moment, accompanied by the cry of a crow, a Golden Crow flew out of its nest, descended onto the plaza, and transformed into a man wearing a golden robe.
Several other rays of light flashed by, also descending on the plaza, exuding terrible majesty.
As footsteps echoed, Demon Cultivators gathered, the strong gathering, yet they stood respectfully below, their expressions solemn.
Seeing the four ancestors before them, a fervent look flashed across the crowd’s faces.
Emperor Heaven stepped forward and said, "Not long ago, the Human Race launched a sneak attack, causing one of our Golden Crow Race’s Divinity Transformation forefathers to fall. Such hatred cannot go unavenged. Only by paying blood for blood can the Golden Crow Race stand tall in the world. Pay blood for blood, kill all the Human Race!"
"Pay blood for blood, kill all the Human Race!"
"Pay blood for blood, kill all the Human Race!"
Many of the Golden Crow Demon Race roared angrily, a gleam of killing intent in their eyes.
Seeing the fervent demons, a look of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Heaven’s eyes.
The Golden Crow Race once stood as the royal family of the Demon Race, dominating the Purple Mansion World multiple times. In the Nine Great States and Four Seas, they were renowned and left behind a formidable reputation.
However, with the rise of the Human Race, the Human Race and the Golden Crow Race have clashed many times, with the Golden Crow Race killing many strong warriors of the Human Race, while the Human Race has also slain many strong warriors of the Golden Crow Race.
In the last confrontation, the Human Race held the upper hand, with the Golden Crow Race suffering innumerable casualties and having to retreat to a few limited areas.
Now, with the resurrection of Spiritual Qi and changes in the world’s rules, the Golden Crow Race is beginning to rise again.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Golden Crow Race has only produced five Divinity Transformations, yet who knows that this is merely the tip of the iceberg.
If not for concealing their strength from certain people and buying time for resurgence, the Golden Crow Race would have long swept across the world.
Though the Golden Crow Race chooses to keep a low profile, it doesn’t mean they choose to be repressed.
They plan to use this battle to showcase the Golden Crow Race’s might.
"Everyone, go prepare, and we’ll set off in a quarter of an hour!" Emperor Heaven commanded.
Numerous Demon Cultivators began dispersing, making preparations for battle, readying Elixirs for healing, Spirit Stones for the restoration of Primordial Qi, alongside some Magical Treasures for facing the enemy, a few supreme Talismans for survival, and so forth, with various trump cards and killing moves all carried on them, ready for a life-and-death battle, showing no mercy.
Emperor Heaven also disappeared.
His figure flickered, returning again under the Fusang Tree, respectfully saying, "Forefather, we are ready to launch an attack!"
"Very well!"
A cold voice came from the Fusang Tree: "Over these years, my Golden Crow Race has been too low-key, causing many Demon Cultivators to act heedlessly, with some unable to command certain demon races. And what so-called Ten Great Royal Families? Just monkeys in borrowed robes, deceiving themselves and others. Among the Demon Race, there are no Ten Great Royal Families, only Three Great Royal Families. The current situation is bad, very bad; we should clean up certain disobedient demon races within this war!"
"Yes!"
Emperor Heaven respectfully replied.
The cold voice continued, "Not long ago, in that mountain range, an ancient Cave Mansion was opened. That Cave Mansion was left by an ancestor of my Golden Crow lineage, containing numerous Creations. I cannot enter it, but you can. That Cave Mansion is advantageous for the Demon Race and disadvantageous for the Human Race; you can use that Cave Mansion to completely eliminate the Human Race elites inside."
"In the Eastern Wilderness, there are more than thirty small countries, including Wu Country, Yue Country, Chu Country, Qi Country, Yan Country, Qin Country, etc. Among these areas, the Human Race occupies the territory of the Sixth Layer, while our Demon Race only occupies the territory of the Fourth Layer; the territory is still too little, far too little. Annihilating Chu Country is just the beginning of the war; next, we will attack Qi Country, Yan Country, and so forth!"
"Especially Qi Country, which is an old strong nation of the Human Race, with even more strong warriors and even more cultivators inside!"
"I understand, father!"
Emperor Heaven respectfully replied, "The invasion of the East Sea Demon Race is extremely disadvantageous to us."
"No matter, the Dragon Race once was also a branch of our Demon Race, but later split to become the Eastern Sea Dragon Race. I have already negotiated with some of their bigwigs, and they only need to occupy Wu Country and Yue Country, and they won’t attack Chu Country. They have their plans, let’s not get involved!"
Spoke the cold voice.
"I understand, elder!"
Emperor Heaven nodded.
"Go now, and be careful with your actions!" the cold voice said, "I trust your work."
Emperor Heaven respectfully retreated, beginning to command and deploy the troops.
