 Atlas Studios Editor:Atlas Studios

“Fight for the position to become a sage?”

Heavenly Human Yunxiao looked at the senior beside him before retracting his gaze and turning towards the Western Wastelands.

“The path to becoming a sage is not easy to walk on. Indeed, one needs to go to Kunlun and use the flesh, blood, and thoughts of countless people to condense the fortuitous opportunities of heaven and earth to forge the path.

However, the one with the highest chance of becoming a sage is Imperial Lord Xi He.

Tam weaker than him and stronger than the others.”

“Then wouldn’t it be just right to compete for the position?” The Heavenly Human Race senior asked.

“It’s indeed just right,” Heavenly Human Yunxiao said calmly.

“But do you know what one needs to do after becoming a sage?”Heavenly Human Yunxiao didn’t wait for the other party to reply. Instead, he turned to look at the blood-red sky and said.

“One will have to support the heavens with one’s own body and protect the Grand Desolate World.

Becoming a sage means death.”

“Is this the sage in your hearts?” Heavenly Human Yunxiao looked at the senior in front of him and asked.

“Or perhaps you just want the Heavenly Human Race to have the honor of having a sage?”

“Look over there.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao smiled and didn’t let the senior answer. He only pointed into the distance.

He was referring to a certain city in the Central Plains, which was surrounded by vicious beasts.

It was about to fall.

At the last moment, the Ghost Gate was opened and the Trespassing Of Otherworldly Soldiers could be seen.

A large number of ghost cultivators surged out, killing vicious beasts. After killing them, they roared angrily and walked back to the Ghost Gate, continuing towards the next place.

Imperial Lord Youdu could open the Ghost Gate wherever there was death aura, anywhere in the Grand Desolate World.

He was battling all across the Grand Desolate World.

He would clean up all the uncontrollable vicious beasts and resolve the crisis of all living things.

“What do you think that is?” Yun Xiao tried to ask.

“Isn’t that the Ba Country cleaning up vicious beasts to save the creatures of the Grand Desolate World?” The middle-aged heavenly human asked.

“No.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao smiled and shook his head.

“The people of Ba Country are very simple. They don’t have complicated hearts, nor do they have any thoughts of saving the world.

‘They only saw that the others were doing something, so they just joined along.

That’s all.

This alone saved countless lives.

Then look at the sky. What do you think they are doing ?”

This time, flames appeared in the sky, wanting to devour the great earth. Members of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race flew over with divine flames, cutting off the heavenly flames, preventing the great wastelands from suffering a natural disaster.

“They are saving the creatures of this world.” The Heavenly Human Race senior replied.

“Yes, then look over there.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao pointed at the Four Seas.

‘There were countless dragons guarding the four seas and filling up the Sea Eye. The Eighth Prince, who was still young, was the first to bear the brunt.

He was constantly suffering from injuries.

This time, the Heavenly Human Race senior didn’t reply.

Heavenly Human Yunxiao didn’t let him answer. He pointed at the Eastern Wastelands. “Look at them again.”

This time, Yan Xiyun appeared in the sky and entered the core of the earth. She protected the earth and used her body to battle against the black aura.

There were countless casualties.

“There’s also them.” This time, Heavenly Human Yunxiao pointed at the village. There were Magus Immortals from Mount Numinous helping ordinary people grow the land.

They wanted to let them have some harvest and guide the beasts to find a suitable place.

“Other than them, the demons of the Northern Wastelands, the devils of the Southern Wastelands, and the Giant Spirit Race of the Eastern Wastelands have all set off for Kunlun.

‘They want to use their flesh and blood to guide the path of the sage. The sage will be born during the battle of Kunlun.

It would either be Imperial Lord Xi He or Imperial Lord Qiong Gou.

If I go, it will either be Imperial Lord Xi He or me.

However, should I really go?” Heavenly Human Yunxiao looked at his senior as though he was asking him.

“Why not?” The Heavenly Human Race senior asked.

“Why am I not going?” Heavenly Human Yunxiao said softly to himself.

“Thave a certain chance of becoming a sage. I’m also willing to support this world with my body.

But do you know how long Imperial Lord Xi He has been plotting for this holy throne?

He had been working hard to become a sage from the beginning. He knew from the beginning that he would definitely die.

If the Heavenly Human Race knew earlier, would we have done this?”

The Heavenly Human Race senior remained silent.

“I lost to Imperial Lord Xi He not entirely because I lost the Central Palace, but because my heart isn’t as firm as his.

Everyone knows that Imperial Lord Xi He was the most likely to become a sage.

The Demon Race, the Giant Spirit Race, and the Underground’s Devils are all stepping stones. Even the nine summits of Kunlun has to become stepping stones.

A general’s achievements is built off ten thousand bones. It’s all for the sake of helping one person become a sage.

It’s the same for the Heavenly Human Race.

I can’t win against him,” said Heavenly Human Yunxiao.

“Aren’t you going to try?” The Heavenly Human Race senior asked.

“Do you know why the demons, the Giant Spirit Race, and the Underground Devils are the last to head to Kunlun?

Because this brings the greatest value. The reason why the Grand Desolate World can be stable is because of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race who helps to shield the destructive fire, the Dragon Race who is calming the four seas, the Qilin Race who is mending the great earth, the Ba Country who is

fighting vicious beasts, and the Magus Immortals of Mount Numinous who is turning their bodies into vitality.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Human Race also has our own greatest value.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao said with a smile.

“Our greatest value?” The Heavenly Human Race senior asked.

“Over there, over there, over there, and over there.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao pointed to the east, west, south, and north.

“The Heavenly Dao has fallen, and the power of the old world is chaotic and disorderly. The four extremes that support heaven and earth have already shattered, and only our Heavenly Human Race can approach the four extremes to resist the disorder.

The four extremes of heaven and earth are the true home of the Heavenly Human Race.”

The Heavenly Human Race senior remained silent.

Yun Xiao looked up in the direction of Kunlun and said.

“Do you still remember Jiang Lan?

He’s a disciple of the Ninth Summit, someone who has ascended the Stairway to Heavens and is not tolerated by the Heavenly Human Race.”

“Ido.” The Heavenly Human Race senior nodded.

“He doesn’t know the Empyrean Scripture, but so what if he does?

‘The Heavenly Human Race’s vision is too short. We never thought what it would take for someone to become enemies with the Heavenly Human Race even if he ascended the Stairway To Heavens and cultivated the Empyrean Scripture.

How could a mortal’s heart compare to the heart of an immortal?

You and J are both in the mortal world and are working hard to step into the immortal realm.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao looked down at the Li Fire Island.

“In the Ancient Imperial Palace, I asked those people why they wanted to protect the great wastelands. They only told me that there were some things that needed someone to do.

If they didn’t do it, no one would.

There were family members, fellow members, and children behind them.

The heavens need them to hold it up.” Heavenly Human Yunxiao looked at the Heavenly Human Race senior and said.

“Lwant to become a sage. I want to protect the Grand Desolate World.

Just because I can’t become a sage doesn’t mean I’m not a sage.

Tam fighting for the Grand Desolate World, for my race, and for all living beings.”

Heavenly Lord Yunxiao extended his hand and looked at his senior sincerely.

“Senior, please help me… become a sage.”

A… sage without a holy throne.

The senior from the Heavenly Human Race looked at Heavenly Human Yunxiao, finally revealing a relieved smile.

Three days later.

Apart from the children, the Heavenly Human Race was divided into four parts, heading towards the east, south, and north directions to support the four extremes of heaven and earth.

‘They directly faced the collapse of the Heavenly Dao.

They wanted to buy time for the sage to appear.

The various summits of Kunlun were already preparing for war.

The Northern Wastelands Demon Race, the Eastern Wastelands Giant Spirit Race, and the Southern Wastelands Devil Race were already on their way to Kunlun.

They had to fight.

‘The Deity Positions had fallen because of the war.

If they wanted a sage to appear, they needed to start a war near Kunlun, which was close to the Heaven Realm.

Gathering more fortuitous opportunities would allow the holy road of becoming a sage to manifest itself.

The holy throne had always been there, but the road was cut off.

The Deity Position was close to the sage position, but it also needed a path.

This path could only be fought by Kunlun for Imperial Lord Xi He.

If Kunlun was defeated, it would not be able to support the fortuitous opportunities.

At that time, the holy throne would be condensed by others.

The path of becoming a sage was filled with blood and flesh.

Although this battle did not contain any hatred, everyone had to fight.

“Raising gu.” In the Kunlun Main Hall, a youth-like man looked up into the sky.

The sky was as red as a sea.

Those with weak cultivation levels could no longer look up into the sky casually. Otherwise, their minds would be destroyed and they would descend into madness.

From now on, there was no true night and no one could look up at the starry sky.

To ordinary people, the blue sky was already a legend.

‘The number of times one looked up at the sky in one’s life could be counted on one hand.

“IE we face it together, we will be completely wiped out. Why don’t we just kill each other and fight for a future?” A few old men sighed helplessly.

“Are you so old to have become like that?” The young man looked at the old man and said.

“It’s not really killing each other. They’ve long wanted to find a proper reason to attack us.”

“Senior Brothers, you two have come quite early. How strange.” Miao Yue arrived at the Kunlun Main Hall in one step.

The youth was the Fourth Summit’s Summit Leader, Si Jie. The youth’s appearance was filled with poison.

The old man was the Seventh Summit’s Summit Leader, Qi Xun. The older he was, the stronger he became.

“Is Junior Sister Miao Yue still alone?” Qi Xun looked at Miao Yue and asked with a smile.

“Senior brother must be joking.” Miao Yue narrowed her eyes with a faint smile.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Qi Xun and Si Jie smiled. Even if Kunlun had many experts, they would not have the upper hand when the factions from the three wastelands attacked Kunlum together.

It was unknown how many of the nine summits of Kunlun would be left in this battle. It was a good thing if there was even one left.

At the old wine tavern.

Lu Jian came to buy wine.

“After today, there won’t be anymore good wine.” The innkeeper handed the good wine to Lu Jian.

“What a pity.” Lu Jian was reluctant to part with the good wine. After a moment of silence, he said again.

“Boss, can we still buy good wine after this great calamity?”

The innkeeper looked at Lu Jian for a long time before saying.

“Maybe you can. I just don’t know if you can come here to buy after the calamity.”

“Haha, that’s true. Let’s go.” Lu Jian bade farewell to the innkeeper and walked towards Kunlun.

At this moment, Kunlun was filled with killing intent and withering aura.

After the array formations were fully activated, the fellow disciples sat cross-legged in the sky.

They were all waiting.

This was because they could sense dark clouds approaching from the east, south, and north directions.

The storm was coming.

Lu Jian raised his head to look at the blood-red sky and sighed. “It’s all because of this, right? It’s a pity that I was born in the wrong generation. Otherwise, I think I could have become the person who truly faces calamity.”

If he was given time, he could surpass his master. Unfortunately, he did not have the time.

Those who faced the tribulation would almost certainly die, but when had he ever feared death?

He had been dazzling, glorious, and imposing. Wasn’t this how life was?

Lu Jian took a sip and laughed. “Good wine.”

‘Ao Longyu walked out from the Jade Pool.

She had made a lot of preparations.

She could only leave for a while and had to return to the Jade Pool tomorrow at the latest.

She walked back to the Ninth Summit’s courtyard.

After watering the vegetative egg, she saw Jiang Lan, who was still in seclusion.

‘The sun rose and set, and the sky was as red as ever.

‘Ao Longyu stood beside Jiang Lan, looking at him as if she couldn’t get enough of him.

In the dark night, the red sea still illuminated the earth. Xiao Yu sat in the house, her gaze stopping on Jiang Lan’s face.

It was as if she was waiting for her Junior Brother to wake up.

But.

Her Junior Brother was still in seclusion and showed no signs of opening his eyes.

‘The next morning.

‘Ao Longyu knew that she had to go back. The Heavenly Dao had collapsed.

She wanted to use the Jade Pool’s power to protect Kunlun.

‘The three factions from the east, south, and north wastelands had already sent people over. A great battle was about to erupt.

A battle to compete for the holy throne.

New and old grudges, hot-blooded anger, all of them would erupt during the great battle.

This battle would unlock the path for one to become a sage.

“Junior Brother, the battle is about to begin. I will find time to come.” Ao Longyu smiled and said.

Ina few months, the war would erupt.

She had no idea how long this battle would last. She only knew that the heavens were supported by the various races of the Grand Desolate World.

If they could not hold on, everything would be over.

A sage would appear in Kunlun at this time.

She knew a lot, but she definitely didn’t know as much as her Junior Brother.

So far, she didn’t know why her Junior Brother was in seclusion, but it definitely had something to do with the great calamity.

She hoped that her Junior Brother would wake up soon.

“Junior Brother, remember our agreement. You have to lose to me in the next challenge.”

‘Ao Longyu smiled brightly before turning to leave.

She then returned to the Jade Pool.

It was to enhance Kunlun’s strength and resist the chaotic aura of the Heavenly Dao released due to its collapse.

She was the Jade Pool Goddess who controlled the Jade Pool and suppressed all chaos.

The following year.

It had been 993 years since Jiang Lan entered the sect.

Countless experts stood towering in the sky above Kunlun. They looked ahead as their strength circulated.

Everyone standing in the sky was mentally prepared.

If one had hatred towards someone, one could take this chance to take revenge. If there was no hatred, one would use take this fight as using other’s blood to forge the path of becoming a sage.

They did not fear death, because they would definitely die worthy deaths.

Did they regret joining Kunlun?

‘They did not regret it because the people outside had sacrificed more.

This land gave birth to them and raised them. If they could contribute to the land, their dull and boring lives would have been coloured.

Even if it was red.

Hu!

Violent winds howled.

The demons of the Northern Wastelands had descended from the sky.

Di Jing walked at the front as he looked at Kunlun. This time, he wasn’t plotting anything, but he had many life protecting methods. Many people could kill him this time.

One shouldn’t think that this was just a simple three-way siege of Kunlun. They also had ambitions.

If the one from Kunlun failed to become a sage, the demons would would be the one to welcome a sage.

It would be best if they could snatch it directly.

‘The grudge with Kunlun was not something that could be settled in a day or two.

‘Wherever the Underground Devil Race passed by, the land would lose its vitality. Their target was Kunlun.

This time, their people were not here to become sages. They were here to defeat Kunlun.

Since this was the last few days they had, they would take revenge.

No matter which side the other party was from, they would kill him.

Since they had come, their entire race had no intention of returning.

The Giant Spirit Race moved like a mountain. They had lost to the Qilin Race and their reputation had been damaged. This battle would shatter all doubts.

‘They wanted to flatten Kunlun.

‘The youth and Hong Ya stood in front of Kunlun.

They were also on Kunlun’s side and needed to face the attacks from the east, south, and west.

Would Kunlun perish?

No one knew or cared.

All they knew was that this was an endless battle. They would either find a chance to survive in the battle or fall completely silent.

‘They would perish with heaven and earth.

Hu!

As the four factions met, countless Kunlun cultivators stood forward.

From the summit leaders to the Golden Core cultivators.

Lu Jian, Lin An, Bei Fang, Hong Luan, Jing Ting, Lin Siya, Mu Xiu, Zhou Shu, and Lu Qian were all present. All of them had handled what needed to handle.

The world was filled with blood.The four factions remained silent.

The Underground’s Devil Race took the initiative to attack.

“Kill!”

Boom!

‘The world changed.

The ground trembled.

A great battle erupted.

“The Devil Ancestor? I’ll go.” Mo Zhengdong walked out of the Ninth Summit.

If his disciple could defeat the Devil Ancestor’s clone, he could defeat the other party’s main body.

So what if the other party had a Deity Position?
