Chapter 899

The catastrophe of the dark night descended upon the Heaven-Swallowing Domain, ravaging all living things.

And the dawn's light was scattering upon the human world in the sky of the Human Race's Imperial Capital.

At this moment, light and darkness were exceptionally distinct in this vast scroll of the Wanggu Continent.

Only, there was struggle in the dark night, and there was obstruction in the dawn.

In the Human Imperial Capital, on the Ancient Emperor Star, as the destiny pulled by the Holy Land backlashed against the Holy Land, the imperial robe and crown reformed on the Empress, and raging divine fire also rose within the Ancient Emperor Star.

This fire became increasingly golden, and the remains of the past Human Emperors within the five surrounding whirlpools were the same.

In that pale golden flame, their appearances also became lively, and the dried blood within their bodies showed signs of revival.

The aura of gods gradually revealed itself, and the most shocking was naturally the Empress herself.

The Empress's aura at this time was heaven-shaking and peerless, standing there as if she were the master of heaven and earth.

It seemed she had already become a god in this world, possessing omniscience, giving one a sense of vastness without end.

Especially the golden light on the Empress, which was constantly flashing.

Felt from afar, it was like a scorching sun in the sky.

Her momentum shook the heavens, her intent could pierce the void, and her spirit could descend upon time.

Exploding along with the Empress was the destiny of the human race.

Destiny surged, rising in waves, causing endless clouds and countless auspicious signs.

At this moment, regarding becoming a god... there were already voices of opposition within the human race.

And the initial might of the past Human Emperor gods, under this explosion, was shaking the universe, merging with the Empress's momentum, and had become a bright divine lamp, its light reflecting upon Wanggu.

Countless powerful races sensed it, countless gods perceived it, and thus divine senses gathered from all directions toward the Human Imperial Capital.

It was truly because the aura emanating from the Empress was too shocking.

The Empress's actions were too overbearing.

The Empress's heart was enough to make all parties wary.

And the peak of sovereignty was already a terrifying existence like the Tribulation Fire God; although not flawless, it was infinitely close.

And for such an existence to change their path to become a god was extremely rare throughout history.

Once successful, relying on the power that erupted after igniting the divine fire, the worst would still be flawless.

There was even a slight possibility, like Li Zihua, to directly cross the flawless stage and step onto the Divine Platform.

Which was the Quasi-Immortal Great Emperor realm in the Xia Xian system.

How exactly it would turn out was hard to judge.

But what was certain was that although this sliver of opportunity was small, the possibility existed after all.

Li Zihua was the precedent.

Thus, how could the various parties of Wanggu not be shocked!

Even if it were only a sliver of possibility, Wanggu still would not allow another such god to emerge.

The powerful races of Wanggu also did not wish for another race to rise strongly while the Yanyue momentum was ascending.

Therefore, the power to obstruct the Empress's path to godhood this time was even greater than that of the three gods back then.

Various causes and effects, besides the above, also included the fact that Yanyue itself was a powerful race.

And because they were all Upper-Class, to some extent they were qualified to achieve flawlessness, but the human race did not have this qualification.

And Yanyue only had Great Minister Quan become a god back then, but here the human race, including the Empress, had six becoming gods; more importantly, Yanyue did not belong to the Holy Land.

But the human race was different!

To be precise, over these years, the Holy Land had maintained a high-and-mighty posture, always keeping the human race under its control; whether it was Dongsheng or Shengtian, they all had to bow to the Holy Land.

Even in the case of Daoshi, there was an intention to break away, but the fact that a Human Emperor could be secretly beheaded and become an eternal unsolved case showed the degree of the Holy Land's control over the Wanggu human race.

And the Empress choosing to become a god represented the independence of the Wanggu human race, representing that they would henceforth be uncontrollable.

Therefore, even without the roar of the forty-nine Suns of Dawn, the Xuanyou Holy Land side would still absolutely not allow it.

Otherwise, they would not have promised the Heaven-Swallowing Clan, letting their Emperor act as a sharp blade to test the Human Emperor's combat power.

Therefore, at this moment, for the human race, the power of obstruction could be said to have gathered the divine powerful races, as well as the Holy Land.

To call it an eternal prohibition was no exaggeration.

Thus, there was the practice of using the Holy Land's imperial decree to define the nature and pull destiny.

And that was only the first layer.

At this time, the Holy Land's second layer of counterattack arrived.

The Holy Land could not easily descend from outside the firmament. Therefore, their means had certain limitations and could not intervene personally.

But relying on the legacy left behind back then, the power was still shocking.

The next instant, the firmament of the Human Imperial Capital rippled, and amidst the sound of heavenly thunder exploding, a huge figure traversed the void, replacing the heaven of the human race.

That was a giant beast with a human face and a dragon body, its body so huge it covered the sky; the moment it appeared, all cultivators felt their minds shake.

A sense of worship seemed to rise from within their souls, causing most of the crowd's expressions to change.

And this terrifying existence that had arrived, at this time, looked at the Human Emperor in the sky with a cold gaze, containing not the slightest emotion.

Its face did not distinguish gender, its whole body emitted heavenly might, and every scale contained laws that could shake the cultivation foundation of all cultivators.

It was the Heavenly Dao.

One of the ninety-nine ancient Heavenly Daos of the Wanggu Continent.

And it was not just one.

The next instant, the second Heavenly Dao manifested in the firmament.

This second Heavenly Dao was a nine-headed lion, walking from afar, stirring up wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, forming a violent pressure that tore everything apart.

It did not end; in the blink of an eye, a black ancient statue also descended from the void.

The power of suppression and sealing rose to the sky from this statue.

And then it was a snow-white mountain crane, emitting a bright sound, flying from the edge of the sky and circling above the human race.

This was also a Heavenly Dao.

The last one to appear was not a living creature, but a large seal.

This seal was ancient, emitting a sense of time.

Carved upon it were the mountains and rivers of Wanggu, and countless human bodies; in the totem formed, one could see those humans fighting against gods.

This was the Seal of Man.

It was the seal of the first Ancient Emperor of the Wanggu Continent back then, which was later sent into the firmament to become one of the Heavenly Daos of Wanggu.

At this time, including this seal, a total of five ancient Heavenly Daos descended together upon the heaven of the human race.

This was the foundation left in Wanggu by the Xuanyou Holy Land, now utilized to stop the Empress.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, wind and clouds surged, and the might of the Heavenly Dao was vast, forming laws and suppression.

The earth trembled, the void tore, and countless seals shrouded the Empress!

Whether they were commoners or cultivators, or princes and ministers in the Imperial Capital, most had expressions of shock and doubt, with only a few people having normal expressions.

The Empress was one of them.

The Empress stood in mid-air, her aura not only not decreasing but, under this suppression of the Heavenly Dao, becoming increasingly heaven-shaking.

It was as if no obstacle could sever the Empress's obsession.

No power could crush the Empress's spine.

And no one could make the Empress lower her head.

At this time, the Empress raised her head, looked at the five descending ancient Heavenly Daos, and waved her right hand.

Immediately, a huge war drum manifested with a boom on the Ancient Emperor Star.

This drum was condensed from the human race's mountains and rivers, topped with the human race's will, and powered by the human race's bloodline.

The moment it appeared, heaven and earth turned upside down, emitting a vast momentum of man conquering heaven.

It was precisely the Human Race War Drum.

"King Zhencang."

With your status, you are most suitable for this moment; are you willing to beat the drum for me and suppress this firmament's Heavenly Dao?

The Empress spoke faintly, her voice falling upon the Ancient Emperor Star and echoing in Xu Qing's ears.

Since his previous strike, Xu Qing had been watching this magnificent god-becoming ceremony.

Hearing the Empress's words at this time, he understood in his heart that the Empress pointing him out must have a deep meaning.

It was likely that she knew about the matter of the Heavenly Dao son and understood that the cause and effect between himself and the ancient Heavenly Dao was extremely deep.

Xu Qing was silent; feeling the Empress's vast might at this time, he did not dare to refuse.

Thus, he raised his head, his body flickered, and he headed straight for the firmament.

After three steps, amidst the gaze of the crowd, he stood upon that huge Human Race War Drum.

His cultivation base circulated, forty million soul threads erupted, forming an illusory great world, and the Great Profound Heaven Armor appeared, surrounded by Nine Li, his own aura and momentum climbing to the peak.

Then, a sharp light appeared in his eyes, he raised his right hand, and threw a punch toward the Human Race War Drum.

This punch tore through the void, forming a world-shaking might, landing on the Human Race War Drum, and emitting a heaven-shaking, deafening sound.

Once this sound emerged, the firmament roared, and the earth stirred up violent fluctuations.

Within the Imperial Capital, all buildings shook, and the earth outside the Imperial Capital surged.

Even the rivers churned at this moment, and finally, the roar of heaven and earth, the howling of the rivers, and this drum sound gathered together, becoming the only sound of heaven and earth.

This sound was immense, forming a magnificent wave, looking at the five ancient Heavenly Daos suppressing from the firmament, and swept across abruptly.

Not only was the drum sound heaven-shaking, but it also contained the cause and effect between Xu Qing and the ancient Heavenly Dao.

Vaguely, it was accompanied by the cry of an infant, echoing in the void.

In an instant, those five ancient Heavenly Daos shook together.

And after Xu Qing's full-force strike landed, a terrifying power also rebounded from the Human Race War Drum.

Following the ripple of his fist, amidst the crackling sounds of his whole body, this terrifying power swept through his flesh, meridians, bones, and soul.

Xu Qing shook all over and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

This blood was extremely foul, like a deadly poison, containing endless filth.

And with the spitting out of this blood, Xu Qing felt unprecedentedly clear.

A sense of lightness emerged throughout his body, turning into waves of comfort.

All of this made his heart stir, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Over these years, in countless battles, all the hidden injuries he had sustained were actually cleared away by more than half under the rebound of the Human Race War Drum, as if he had been baptized.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand again, his cultivation base fully exerted, and threw a second punch toward the Human Race War Drum.

Dong.

The drum sound rose again, the firmament shook, people's hearts roared, and a wisp of red destiny rose from every human, gathering into that dragon of human destiny.

Making this dragon of destiny grow countless times larger, it roared at the Heavenly Dao toward the sky.

Sweeping up the destiny of the race, it hissed toward the five Heavenly Daos.

Furthermore, amidst its roar, the spirits and sages who had submitted to the Human Emperor all had their bodies shining with light, forming endless killing intent, their momentum world-shaking.

Thousands of troops and horses charged toward the Heavenly Dao.

In life, they were human, killing enemies; in death, they protected the Human Emperor's path.

Kill.

At this moment, heaven and earth changed color.

The five Heavenly Daos in the firmament also shook together, and the power of the seal and suppression showed signs of being shaken.

And Xu Qing felt that in this rebound baptism, all hidden injuries in his body disappeared, and even his physical strength actually improved.

Especially that perfect fusion of body and soul, which inexplicably gave him a sense of completeness.

This feeling came suddenly; he had no time to think too much, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he threw the third punch.

The drum sound rose, heaven and earth collapsed; from the Imperial Capital Domain, from the Seven Counties, from Sheng Lan, from Black Spirit, and even from all the miserable humans wandering outside within this Wanggu Continent, no matter what they were doing, they were pulled by their bloodline at this moment and emitted their own will.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

The will of all humans currently in the Wanggu Continent erupted in this drum sound, invisibly merging into this third drum sound, turning into a low roar of human will.

This character was extremely extraordinary; since ancient times, it was passed down as the name of the Underworld, and later, when the Great Dao was established, except for some transformed from artifacts, the rest were gathered from the spirits who died in battle back then.

Therefore, it was defined by Xia Xian with this character as the true name of the Heavenly Dao of the heavens.

The so-called "when a man dies he becomes a ghost, when a man sees it he fears it; when a ghost dies it becomes a spirit, when a ghost sees it it retreats," this is the Heavenly Dao.

At this time, this character was shouted out by the human race's collective will, from earth to heaven, from man to Dao, impacting the Heavenly Dao.

The Wanggu Heavenly Dao exists for the will of the human race, and what it protects are also the living beings within this world.

And at this time, coming from the powerful race of before, coming from this human race that had unified Wanggu many times.

The impact formed by their collective will, shouting out the true name, naturally shook the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

These five Heavenly Daos controlled by the Holy Land also had to follow their essence, and at this time, they all flickered and took a step back.

Seeing this, the Empress's eyes revealed sharpness.

When the three gods ascended back then, they had domain treasures and even immortality to repel the obstruction of gods; this was the fierce collection of Yanyue and Xuanyou, and the foundation of the three gods.

And the human race.

Although they had many foundations before, they had fallen to this point over countless years, and there was not much foundation left, but the will of the human race still existed in this cruel Wanggu; the war drum stimulated it, and at this time it rose to the sky, roaring through the universe!

As for Xu Qing, at this time his momentum also rose, his body like a dragon, and with his peak power at this moment, with that touch of completeness, he threw the fourth punch.

As the drum sound shook the heavens and echoed in all directions, the human will resonated, destiny resonated, mountains and rivers resonated, and bloodlines resonated.

Furthermore, ancient time was connected, and the glory of the past also descended as a projection in this brief resonance.

That was a map of the mountains, rivers, and territories.

It was pulled from time by the drum sound and gathered between heaven and earth.

All domains of Wanggu are the territory of the race.

All races of Wanggu must worship.

The Empress raised her hand and grasped this illusory ancient map of mountains, rivers, and territories in her hand.

Heavenly Dao, back then it was established with our human race as the master, with other races conferring and building it together.

At this time, you have descended; this behavior is an act of subordinates offending their superiors.

Do not forget, our human race also has a Heavenly Dao; that is, besides the one transformed by Xia Xian and the Ancestral Dao, it ranks first among all the Heavenly Daos of Wanggu.

After the Remnant Face arrived and after Xuanyou left, it fell into a deep sleep, and has been so for countless years.

Today, it should also wake up.

Xu Qing, beat the drum.

The Empress's voice was like heavenly thunder; she waved the map of territories in her hand, turning it into a huge drumstick, and threw it toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, his cultivation base supporting his whole body, his blood and Qi surging endlessly, and he raised his hand to catch the drumstick transformed from the map of territories that carried the glory of the human race.

He struck the Human Race War Drum with all his might.

Dong.

The fifth sound.

As it spread throughout Wanggu and echoed in the firmament, a roar that seemed to come from ancient times rose from time and echoed in the void of the firmament.

The next instant, heaven and earth were golden.

A seven-clawed golden dragon appeared abruptly in the clouds.
