Chapter 1766: Chapter 1633: Resurrection of Three Emperor Weapons
As more and more Saint Lord-level strong people arrived, the entire discussion hall was filled with heroic lords from various major forces, and all the young people exited and came to the square.
Regarding whether to declare war on the Demon Clan, the Human Race was actually not unified, just like the Demon Clan. Some militant Saints felt that the Demon Clan had bullied the Human Race to the brink, and they needed to fight back to suppress the Demon Clan’s arrogance.
Most of the heroic lords believed that it was not the right time to initiate a war, and besides, the Demon Clan would eventually come forth. If peaceful coexistence could be achieved, there was no need to resolve it through war.
Meanwhile, Elder Lin from the Imperial Academy, Ling Yunzhi the Ling Family Ancestor, the Sloppy Elder from the Treasure Pavilion, and the Immortal Academy Director Old Immortal all flew to the city wall, standing atop the city’s gateway—War City, gazing across the River of Elements. In each person’s eyes, two rays of light as sharp as the Heavenly Sword shot out, piercing through the River of Elements.
Virtually all the Human Race elites from the various major forces of the Five Domains had arrived, shadows flickering along the Yuan Su riverbank, each brimming with War Intent, with vigorous life forces jetting out from the tops of their skulls, forming a peculiar spectacle.
At this moment, all humans set aside personal grievances—these were grievances and conflicts between races. The Demon Clan must be held accountable.
The Demon Clan arrogantly broke their previous agreements, unilaterally tearing up pacts and suddenly invading Human Race domains, a provocation and disdain toward humans.
Each heroic lord had streams of life force as thick as mountain ridges shooting from above their heads, piercing the heavens, their presence as triumphant as a rainbow.
Undoubtedly, if war breaks out, these individuals will be the backbone of the Human Race, an absolute combat power!
Dark clouds rolled like turbulent waves, heavy as mountains, weighing down, making it hard for anyone to breathe!
"Boom—boom—"
Thunder crackled in the clouds, occasionally erupting with deafening blasts.
The ancient War City lay on the red earth, its walls mottled with scars from blades and axes, exuding an ancient aura accompanied by an intense killing atmosphere.
The Sloppy Elder from the Treasure Pavilion said nothing, waving his hands repeatedly. Streams of mysterious Mystic Light solidified over the River of Elements, gradually revealing the scene across the river.
On the other side of the River of Elements, the Demon Clan was also gathering en masse, with each Demon Clan powerhouse exceptionally strong, not weak compared to the Human Race.
Many Demon Clan strong people’s strengths were on par with numerous heroic lords, and their numbers vastly exceeded those of the Human Race, their vigorous life forces piercing the heavens.
This scene shocked many Human cultivators—after years of recuperation, the Demon Clan was indeed not to be underestimated!
"Hiss—"
Ye Fan couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath, believing that these were definitely not all of the Demon Clan’s power, with certainly powerful foundations yet to appear. No wonder the Old Immortal said a large-scale decisive battle couldn’t be fought—as things stood, the Human Race simply couldn’t afford it.
However, this couldn’t be shown to the Demon Clan, else with their brutal and violent nature, they’d launch an all-out war immediately, leaving the Human Race without a chance to turn the tide.
Elder Lin, with hands behind his back, stood atop the city wall, speaking loudly: "Hear me, Demon Clan—the division of power after your emergence was agreed upon through contests, yet you broke your promises, suddenly waging war against us, slaughtering our compatriots. Do you think the Human Race is so easily bullied?"
"Exactly, you must give us a satisfactory explanation; otherwise, war will be inevitable!" The Old Master of Spirit Manor also shouted loudly.
Their voices rang loudly and majestically, transmitted through the shining River of Elements, floating across the sky.
"Just a small accident, nothing to explain!"
Across the River of Elements, a newly promoted Quasi-Demon Emperor among the Demon Clan replied indifferently.
"Massacring tens of thousands of our civilians—a small accident, you say?"
"A blood debt demands blood repayment; there’s no other explanation needed!"
"The Demon Clan is too arrogant, clearly disregarding the Human Race—if we can tolerate this, what can’t we tolerate? Let’s fight!"
"..."
The Demon Clan’s response incited fury among the Human cultivators, who expressed their protests vehemently.
"Speaking so lightly—an accident, you say? Today, you must give us an explanation!"
Elder Lin burst out with powerful War Intent, Quasi-Emperor’s aura suppressing all of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Humph!"
A Demon Clan strong person snorted coldly, as if disdainful to respond, everyone could see they hadn’t planned to reply.
"Just ants, that’s all—if they’re dead, so be it. Do you really think the Human Race is still in the era with a Great Emperor?" The newly promoted Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan mocked coldly.
He, being newly promoted, hadn’t experienced that brutally intense final battle, and simply didn’t regard the Human Race as anything, viewing them as no different from ants without a Great Emperor.
Except for the binding agreement, he would’ve long emerged—a wildly arrogant Demon Emperor, yet with legitimate arrogance.
A powerful Demon Emperor, in an era without a Great Emperor, is definitively the ultimate combat power, easily crushing a Holy Land!
"So you don’t intend to negotiate, then let’s fight!"
With those words, Elder Lin waved his hand, and the Azure Gold Furnace from the Gu Family’s Imperial Weapon instantly flew out from the Ancient Immortal’s body, hovering above his head, casting a myriad of azure lights down.
The aura of an Emperor Weapon spread, causing everyone around to sense a potent pressure—clearly, the Gu Family’s Imperial Weapon was about to revive.
An Emperor’s Imperial Weapon, once revived, possesses unimaginable power—it’s said to slay gods when gods stand in its way, and destroy Buddhas when Buddhas block its path; no power in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can withstand a strike from it, equivalent to a Great Emperor’s blow!
However, the divine power required to fully revive an Emperor Weapon is an astronomical amount—even the Saint Lord of All Holy Lands cannot sustain such vast divine power output, risking being drained before the weapon is fully revived.
Below War City, the crowd felt they were facing a revival of a Great Emperor, the powerful pressure involuntarily causing them to kneel in respect, honoring the Great Emperor.
Only Ye Fan continued to struggle, for an Emperor Weapon was within him too—though Elder Xuan had long slumbered, the Mystic Crown Xuan glow protected his Soul and Divine Sense amidst the same weapon’s pressure.
"Lend me the Emperor Weapon!"
At this moment, Ling Yunzhi of the Ling Family Ancestor suddenly raised a hand, summoning the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown from Ye Fan’s body, suspending it above his own head.
Without the protection of the Emperor Weapon, Ye Fan couldn’t withstand the powerful pressure and fell to the ground reluctantly!
This was a show of respect to the Great Emperor, of course, and he couldn’t resist the oppressive force coming from the revived Emperor Weapon!
Another Emperor Weapon appeared; although the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was damaged, under the vast Divine Power of Ling Yunzhi, it started to fully revive.
The two Emperor Weapons shone together, emitting a powerful aura that swept across the land.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, a flash of light appeared in the hand of the Sloppy Elder from the Treasure Pavilion, a Heavenly Blade appeared in his hand, and it also started to revive. It was unexpectedly also an Emperor Weapon, just like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown and Azure Gold Furnace.
This was borrowed from Hu Tian, one of the Nine Great Bandits, the ancient killing weapon of Emperor Sha, the Heavenly Weapon Treasure Sword emitted endless killing intent.
The three men simultaneously activated the Emperor Weapons, the terrifying killing intent immediately tore through the seal, broke through the River of Elements, and surged to the opposite shore.
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
...
On the opposite shore, the demon race members couldn’t withstand the pressure of the three Emperor Weapons; though reluctant, they still knelt down, their bodies trembling like sieves.
The reviving Emperor Weapons were like an extension of another kind of life of a Great Emperor; they were not something they could contend with. If it weren’t for the demon race’s newly promoted Quasi-Emperor having an Ancient Emperor Weapon for protection, he wouldn’t have been spared either.
All of this was displayed before the people through the secret technique.
Seeing the demon race being intimidated by the Emperor Weapons, the human race suddenly became extremely excited, their blood boiling, shouting in unison.
"You must give us an explanation, or we’ll start a war immediately and leave you with no trace of armor!"
"You want to start a war immediately, right? Then let’s start a war. Our human race fears no threat!"
"Blood debts must be repaid with blood. Hand over the murderers who slaughtered our human race, or await annihilation!"
"The demon race is a disaster waiting to happen. Better take this opportunity to wipe them out and eradicate future troubles!"
At this moment, the human cultivators finally felt completely liberated. What use was the strong demon race? The human race was not a soft persimmon to be easily manipulated.
The appearance of the three pieces of Emperor Weapons acted like a powerful stimulant, causing the human cultivators’ combat blood to boil, clamoring to start the war immediately, to sweep away the demon race and destroy their holy land.
This voice was certainly being led by someone, Ye Fan was puzzled, not knowing what the purpose of the person leading this voice was, but seeing the human cultivators filled with joy and excitement, he couldn’t say anything that would dampen the mood and joined in shouting.
Tens of thousands of cultivators shouted in unison, their voices shaking the Nine Heavens, even dispersing the dark clouds in the sky, revealing a clear sky, as if indicating the clouds pressing down on the human race’s head had completely dispersed.
"War is war, who’s afraid of whom? Don’t think only your human race has Ancient Emperor Weapons, we have them too!"
The demon race’s newly promoted Quasi-Emperor coldly shouted, directly reviving the Ancient Emperor Weapon on him, exuding powerful pressure to protect the strong among the demon race around him.
"That’s right, Chang Hao the Quasi-Emperor is correct, our demon race has been hiding for so many years, it’s time to emerge."
"Do you still think it’s the time of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor? The human race slaughtered our Xuan Beasts, this time they must pay in blood!"
"It’s time for the demon race to conquer the world, the human race is nothing!"
"Right, considering bloodline, considering physique, in which aspect is the human race superior to us demon race, why should they dominate this world?"
"Times change and now it’s time for the demon race to rise..."
Many demon race strong proponents of war were clamoring for an immediate war, without any need for dueling, they believed the human race was weak and couldn’t withstand a strike.
However, within the demon race, there was still a voice, the voice of the powerful faction. They saw the human race suddenly reviving three Ancient Emperor Weapons, and besides the Gu Family’s Azure Gold Furnace and Emperor Sha’s Heavenly Treasure Sword, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown also recovered considerably, which was absolutely not good news!
It must be noted, in addition to these three Emperor Weapons, the human race also has the Emperor Weapon of Emperor Wu and the Human Emperor Seal of Human Emperor and the Moon Wheel of Moon Emperor.
All of these are Emperor Weapons; additionally, the Western Regions Buddhist Sect and Demon Sect also have Emperor Weapons that have not yet appeared, the most critical being the Emperor Weapons of the Western Regions Buddha and Demon Sects.
In the last battle of Emperor Weapons to suppress the dark turmoil, these two Emperor Weapons did not appear, they are the strongest trump card of the human race.
Even more importantly, the demon race’s leading Quasi-Demon Emperor suspected that the human race’s Emperor Weapons might have already been largely restored, otherwise, where would the human race get the confidence to be so tough?
If they rashly chose to go to war, it was very likely that after one battle, the demon race would cease to exist.
He dared not take the risk and had to adopt a low stance, saying, "I regret that war; at the time, I was not aware. I heard later that it was the Black Jiao King’s tribe acting on its own, not representative of the entire demon race’s intentions!"
"Why say all this to them?"
The newly promoted Quasi-Demon Emperor Chang Hao interrupted the leading demon emperor, then said strongly, "You humans want an explanation? Just have someone defeat me, and we’ll explain it to you."
"Then let’s have an outer domain battle!"
Elder Lin unhesitatingly accepted the challenge, then his figure flashed, flying out to the outer domain.
At the same time, Chang Hao from the demon race also disappeared from where he stood, directly appearing on the outer domain battlefield.
A major battle was imminent!
