Chapter 2085: Chapter 2030–2031: Divine Martial Dao – Clash of Taoist Monarchs (2)
When the initial signs of the great catastrophe appeared, all the Taoist Monarchs believed that the main aim of this disaster was to promote the divine land world’s ascension, and perhaps some True Immortals might fall, but the Taoist Monarchs could remain unworried.
However, as this calamity approached step by step, countless powerful figures fueled it, and now the situation is completely different from what it was originally.
“Jade Emperor has indeed embarked on this path, no wonder he schemed against those bald monks of the Buddhism School! Hahaha, interesting, interesting!” A strange laughter emanated from the dwelling of a colossus of the Demonic Way.
The emergence of the Divine Martial Dao must have pleased these demonic strongmen greatly. After all, for them, an atmosphere of peace and compromise was most detrimental.
Only when everyone is really fighting to the death, meeting each other in bloody battles, does the chaotic water suit these demonic strong enough to take action; this is their great opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Storms arise, Heaven and Earth tremble, and strong figures from all directions feel a sense of it. Even though Tian Ji is chaotic, many strong figure’s hearts filled with a sense of crisis—a primal crisis that lets many leave their secluded mountains to step onto the Divine Land Continent in search of a sliver of hope. They realize that the chaos of Heaven and Earth spares no land as a Pure Land.
Threads of black light surge in the Heaven and Earth at this moment; no one can continue cultivation. Once they cultivate against the current, there’s a risk of going astray and becoming possessed, even if they’re supreme strongmen—they might fall. The path of cultivation is arduous; at least 60% of strongmen have fallen along the path of cultivation, and some unparalleled heaven’s proud ones have fallen into their own heart demons.
Karmic fire burns, and the great catastrophe is also the purification of Heaven and Earth for itself, reducing the burden on Heaven and Earth. Powerful creatures constantly consuming the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi might cause its depletion, while a great catastrophe easily reduces the strain by eliminating many creatures.
When a whale falls, all things grow—not just those major forces. The fall of some strong figures is enough to benefit countless creatures.
Each great catastrophe is a renewal of Heaven and Earth, much like a creature; Heaven and Earth are constantly evolving, ascending towards the great thousand worlds. The gradual fusion of the realms of heavenly seas further expands the entire divine land world.
Overseas islands, massive waves naturally partition sea territories, forming vast immortal islands and divine islands. Some of these islands are naturally formed, others are shaped by postnatal strong figures. Innumerable creatures live within, integrated into the sea territory, fixing the human race’s sea domain. They remodel the environment to better suit human race survival, nurturing many strong figures of the human race.
In this sea domain, powerful human race religious sects and the five emperors’ descendants occupy the finest places, refining the divine islands and dominating one side, becoming the overlords of the sea territories.
Even the demon spirits born in the sea domains, with their robust bloodlines and formidable innate strength, cannot gain an advantage against the fearsome human race.
It is precisely because of this that the human race in this domain is immensely proud, especially the five emperors’ descendants who believe they’ve inherited the will of the five emperors. They emulate the arduous pioneering spirit of the ancient human race, guarding the frontiers of humanity in the sea domain. Now, with turmoil on the human continent, they feel obligated to enter the continent, quell the unrest, and lead the human race forward.
This trend gains the support of many powerful figures, with many emperor dynasty strong figures from the five emperors’ descendants emerging from the divine islands immortal path, spreading their ideals and establishing their authority.
They’ve released word that this mission was left by the Human Race Five Emperors, making them build and hold this position to temper themselves, providing the human race a firm base to cultivate strong figures and protect humanity. They claim that now is the best time for the glory of the five emperors to shine upon the Central Earth Continent.
Of course, where there’s agreement, there’s opposition. Some strong figures object strongly, asserting that since there are the five great divine dynasties, everything should be left to them to decide, and they only need to follow and support.
Such assertions also gain the backing of many humans, though some strong figures from the five emperors’ descendants, especially when they observe the neighboring immortal sects refraining from action, are keeping a watchful eye, hesitant to make impulsive choices. At this moment, many understand that conflict is inevitable, and even supreme strong figures will fall.
This is the first time a conflict of this kind has arisen among the sea islands, with many accusations gradually emerging. Many strong figures are congregating towards the capitals of each of the five great imperial kingdoms overseas.
“Now the contemporary Fire Emperor personally leads the army here with his purpose widely known—will we submit at such a time?”
A supreme strong figure from the Black Emperor Lineage among the overseas five emperors’ descendants stands atop a divine mountain, speaking Daoist Truth. This ancient supreme strong figure has long stepped into the realm of supreme overlord, just half a step from verifying as a True Immortal.
Strands of laws converge in the air, forming chains that seal this domain. The supreme strong figure from the Black Emperor Lineage emits a chilling light from his eyes, freezing Heaven and Earth. A terrifying supreme figure whose current power is immensely scary—he’s the pinnacle of human realm strength, a patriarchal figure of the overseas Black Emperor Lineage.
Such level figures ordinarily pursue cultivation, seeking opportunities to verify as True Immortals and rarely intervene in human affairs. Now, this figure emerges from seclusion to descend to their empire, Black Emperor Lineage, due to the current chaotic situation.
He stands as a clearly hawkish figure among overseas five emperors’ descendants, as they were once defeated and exiled here by the Central Earth’s five emperors’ descendants in a power struggle years ago. Even though the overseas islands have developed prosperously, he refuses to endure humiliation once more.
This is a struggle for authority, a real contest for power, a genuine zero-sum game—only victors have everything, while losers lose all.
They’re all descendants of the five emperors, embodying the direct bloodline of the Human Race Five Emperors, fundamentally the king’s clan of humans. Yet, those who’ve claimed the Central Earth aren’t satisfied and wish to seize their interests; this can’t be tolerated.
With the current generation Fire Emperor Master leading the army towards overseas, nominally inspection, everyone sees it as a clash of royal power among the Five Emperors’ Descendants, destined for an earthshattering outcome that no one dares meddle in lightly.
Whether it’s the five divine dynasties of Central Earth or the overseas empire kingdoms, they possess many strong figures bearing the bloodline of the five emperors, holding formidable support that cannot be belittled. Without strongmen of True Immortal level, they rival some top immortal sects, even matching True Immortal’s level.
“The Five Divine Dynasties are too domineering! They’ve taken too many resources. This time, fighting with the Jade Emperor Lineage, we fight for our ancestors without issue, but we can’t do it without returns!” An ancestor of the overseas White Emperor Lineage walks among the various five emperors’ descendants’ imperial kingdoms, striving to persuade strong figures, hoping to gain support or at least maintain neutrality, facilitating his plans. Some supreme strong figures, with ambitious objectives, likewise incite turbulent winds, as an oppressive atmosphere shrouds the overseas islands.
“Who does the Red Flame King truly represent on this excursion—himself or the stance of the entire Red Emperor Lineage?” some strong figures query coldly.
Despite the Red Flame King’s neutrality during the clash between the Fire Emperor Master and the Marquis Bamboo Sword and pleading on behalf of Marquis Bamboo Sword, some stern members see the Red Flame King’s actions as a betrayal, abandoning overseas descendants’ glory to pander to the Five Divine Dynasties.
