Chapter 485: Chapter 328: Legends of the Butian Great God (Part 2)

“Did I actually win like this???”

“Stop!” Liu Jing shouted at Xuanlingzi, “Those common people—”

Xuanlingzi seemed not to hear, continuing to recite incantations. Chen Rui grabbed Liu Jing’s arm: “Great King, those who achieve great things do not care about small matters. A little sacrifice brings peace to the world!”

Liu Jing shook off his hand, yet found himself powerless, not daring to enter Xuanlingzi’s zone of divine wrath.

The so-called invincible Iron Eagle Guard of the Xiang Family Army were like ants before the might of heaven and earth, tormented by landslides, floods, and fires.

On the morning of the third day, Xiang Yong, with only a hundred personal guards, broke through but was struck by a blood-red lightning while crossing Yingshui, turning man and horse to dust.

“Immortal!!”

“Heaven bless King Jing!”

The news of victory returned to the camp, the whole army rejoiced.

Yet Liu Jing stood alone at a high place, gazing at the land ravaged by magic. Once fertile farmland had become scorched earth, rivers floated with the corpses of fish and shrimp, and distant villages were reduced to ruins.

“Why is the Great King unhappy?” Chen Rui had somehow appeared behind him.

Liu Jing did not turn around: “Why?”

Chen Rui was silent for a moment: “Under the tyrant’s rule, more people die every day than this. Long pain is worse than short pain.”

“That Xuanlingzi… what kind of person is he?”

“A descendant of the former royal family, skilled in ancient secret techniques. His family was harmed by the tyrant, only he escaped.” Chen Rui paused, “Great King need not worry, Xuanlingzi is loyal only to the cause of resisting tyranny.”

Liu Jing sneered: “Just like me? This ‘King Jing who arises by celestial mandate’?”

Chen Rui’s expression changed slightly: “Why does the Great King say so?”

“It’s nothing.” Liu Jing turned and walked towards the main tent, “Let the troops rest for three days, then advance to Changle Palace.”

Late at night, Liu Jing was alone under the lamp, reading those tattered bamboo slips and silk books. Most records were fragmented, obviously deliberately damaged.

But the pieced-together information was startling enough.

One of the Martial Arts Hall samurais left behind a Lying Tiger Token, with tiny words written in cinnabar: The holder of the Lying Tiger Order, having passed the chief’s trial of the Martial Arts Hall, can obtain the Evil-Suppressing Spiritual Weapon, patrolling the world, slaying demons and eliminating devils…

“Evil-Suppressing Spiritual Weapon? Cannibal Beast on the wild? Mist Four Great Evil Gods?”

“That Xuanlingzi, is he an immortal or demon?”

Returning to the main tent, Liu Jing clutched the Lying Tiger Order tightly, unable to sleep all night.

No longer did he feel the excitement and thrill of first crossing over to find himself commanding a million troops.

Three days later.

On the training ground, a million troops were silent.

Liu Jing raised his sword high for a moment, took a deep breath, and suddenly plunged the sword into the ground, “I have decided not to attack Changle Palace.”

The million-strong army stirred.

“Why does the Great King say so? Could it be you’ve been enchanted by demons?”

Beside him, Chen Rui was shocked and urged, “If Changle Palace is not destroyed, Qing Country won’t fall! Our army of million, aided by celestial mandate warriors, Great King!”

“A million troops?”

Liu Jing sneered, “Two hundred years ago, the vassal state samurais swallowed Spirit Seed, wielded Spirit Weapons. Each Soldier Master could crumble mountains and split seas, yet the First Emperor alone in Mu Ye broke such a million troops.”

“Sir, now you want this rabble of a million to attack the First Emperor in Changle Palace?”

“Since you have claimed kingship, how can you not act accordingly?”

…

[Changle Palace is now a majestic Tongtian Mountain, towering straight into the Celestial Vault. Before the hall stand eight hundred Forbidden Guards, one wielding Spirit Weapon descends the mountain to suppress the rebel army.]

[Obstructed by demonic Xuanlingzi’s allies.]

[A million strong army driven by demons attacks Changle Palace hall, demonic Xuanlingzi crashes the mountain supporting Changle Palace with the “resentment of the people” from his Life Spirit—cutting off earth’s connection to heaven!]

[The once-noble exiles cheer, as Zhuxia ushers in an era without the First Emperor.]

[The Forbidden Guards before Changle Palace courageous and unparalleled, forged from Top-Rank Spiritual Soldiers, kill all demonic allies who appeared, asking King Jing harshly, First Emperor’s Changle Palace and Divine Weapon “Great Sage Equal to Heaven”, formed Tongtian Mountain, already the lifeblood of Zhuxia.]

[One side of Changle Palace faces Xiazhou Heaven, one side the Void Sea, First Emperor and fierce generals expanded territory, Void Sea Alien Race and Mist Evil God are far from Xiazhou Heaven’s populace.]

[First Emperor used himself as the Spirit Realm’s gate, established the Ninefold Imperial Pass, keeping enemies outside, Alien Races cannot breach Changle Palace, people live without worry.]

[Now that Xiazhou Heaven’s populace sever connection with “Changle Palace”, though temporarily stable, all Spirit Veins in Xiazhou Heaven are within the Ninefold Imperial Pass, if Void Sea Alien Races again locate “Xiazhou Heaven”, Human Race here unarmed with Spirit Weapons, certainly will perish.]

[This brings endless disaster, all the blame rests solely on Liu Jing.]

[Liu Jing awakened, but too late for regret.]

[Liu Jing and Forbidden Guard before Changle Palace establish Lying Tiger Guard, exterminating remnants of demonic dwellers, personally build a palace on Tongtian Mountain’s ruins, worshiping First Emperor and Martial Arts Hall’s saints, trying to reconnect Changle Palace before the great fog returns!]

…

[Ancestral land disturbance awakens First Emperor Xiang Ji amidst cultivation, unaware of events, his battle with Four Fierce Beasts and Zombie Saint only twenty years passed.]

[Lifebound Divine Weapon “Mountain and River Seal” transfigured Ninefold Imperial Pass is intact.]

[Soldier Master continues assaulting Holy Land Dynasty, Qing Country has emerging heroes aplenty.]

[Martial Arts Hall chief reports, they lost Xiazhou Heaven’s location, under expansion “Every land under heaven is king’s land, every shore’s edge the king’s subjects”, territory far surpasses entire Spirit Realm Xiazhou Heaven.]

[Moreover Xiazhou Heaven’s Spirit Veins vanished, Four Great Evil Gods yet expended efforts to sever earth’s connection to heaven, but this has no effect on Qing Country’s army, for what cause?]

[First Emperor Xiang Ji feels unease, yet unaware of Void Sea “Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate” affair.]

[This mandate truly exists over Xiazhou Heaven.]

[At this moment, Void Sea Ancestor comes to debate Dao.]

[He is Xiang Ji’s most formidable foe of a hundred years of battle, even well understands the limitations of “Invincible Under Heaven”, controls his power, maintains parity with Xiang Ji, restricts the singular strategy of Xiang Ji.]

[“Celestial Destiny God” White Snake personally breaches this time, breaking through seven layers of Ninefold Imperial Pass!]

[Forcing Xiang Ji to reveal his trump card instantly.]

[Qing Country founded nearly two hundred years, territory now the greatest in Human Race history, Xiang Ji can continue summoning celestial divines from Mythical Saint Emperor System.]

[Xiang Ji looks up, reflecting doomsday scenes in his eyes.]

[Amid shattered images, grey and dark skies, fierce winds tearing apart broken mountains. Across the Celestial Vault, a crack ran through, chaotic energy cascading like a waterfall, all it touches rotten, living beings obliterated.]

[Just then, a nine-colored divine light erupts from the depths of the void.]

[A figure steps upon the light, clad in cyan robe, nine-colored ribbons like celestial rivers descended, surrounding the figure. His face blurred, raising a Divine Stone, surging against the flow, blocking heaven’s breach, the shattered skies began to heal like mirrors!] [——Wow! Wow! Wow!]

[Above the Ninthfold Imperial Pass.]

[Butian Great God formless and shapeless, has only a cyan robe, draped with ethereal nine-colored ribbons.]

[“Hiss——!” ]

[A white snake darts out from the chaos, its serpent eyes fixated on Butian Great God, opens its maw, venomous fangs drip corrosive venom into the void!]

[“Evil creature!”]

[The cyan robe shakes, nine-colored ribbons suddenly turn into nine Heaven-Locking Divine Chains, clattering and wrapping around, instantly gripping the snake’s seven inches! The white snake struggles wildly, tail shattering mountain rivers for thousands of miles, yet cannot break free!]

[The white snake screeches mournfully, its body crumbling inch by inch, eventually completely suppressed beneath the Divine Stone!]

[“Butian Great God?!!”]

[Daoist Ancestor battling the First Emperor, upon witnessing such a scene, changes expression drastically, quickly escapes into the depths of Void Sea.]

[Cyan-robed figure waves hand, the Celestial Vault heals.]

[Soldier Master atop Ninefold Imperial Pass gazes at the sky, convinced that cyan-robed figure summoned by First Emperor in dire times must be the saint of Human Race.]

[Henceforth.]

[Among Human Race begins the legend of “Butian Great God · Wah Emperor”.]
