Chapter 1051: Nine Ancient Emperors of the Human Race Descend Upon Jiao Jiao Mingyu

Between heaven and earth, between the star rivers, nine terrifying auras filled everything; all things froze, and in the eyes of the weaker lives, even time itself froze.

Countless living beings could no longer think, could no longer sense their own existence.

These nine auras were so vast, so conspicuous, and came from beyond the realm, utterly out of place in Jiao Jiao Mingyu.

They were already Star Domain-level lives!

Such beings should have been sensed by every Great Emperor-level life in the entire realm the instant they appeared in Jiao Jiao Mingyu, for they were simply too conspicuous—like torches in endless darkness, visible with perfect clarity across hundreds of millions of star rivers, unable to hide anything.

Ants and dust can hide among the gravel.

How can a Star Domain-level life hide?

Any life at the peak of Refining Void appearing in Jiao Jiao Mingyu would instantly trigger a terrifying war sweeping across the entire star domain—a total war, with no buffer, no possibility of any easing of the moment.

Emperor Yan Shi thought exactly this.

His flame divine body was bound, his divine soul was bound, but at a moment one ten-thousandth of an instant earlier he had frantically sent distress talismans to Emperor Cang Yan and to every Great Emperor of the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan.

Not only Emperor-level lives—any life he had any means of contacting received one; the distress signal appeared hundreds of millions of times in an instant, the great might of a Great Emperor displayed to the fullest at that moment.

But he waited a long time, and the starry sky remained utterly silent, without a ripple.

In the unseen distant starry sky, spread across the eleven Minor Thousand Worlds of the Yan Shi Star Domain, supported by tens of thousands of spirit veins and earth veins of varying ranks within the Minor Thousand Worlds, a vast and invisible Star Domain-level formation slowly unfurled, shrouding the entire Yan Shi Star Domain, cutting off all internal and external communication while continuing to send the usual signals as before, without the slightest abnormality.

"No!"

"Nine Ancient Emperors of the human race…"

Emperor Yan Shi's eyes nearly split with rage.

He finally saw those nine terrifyingly powerful beings in the star river—eight whose auras were like star rivers themselves, and one whose aura was formed from the gathering of hundreds of thousands or millions of lives, stronger than any single Ancient Emperor of the human race.

A thick dread welled up in Emperor Yan Shi's heart.

No one knew the terror of the human race better than these Great Emperors, especially when the humans held the advantage—every race under heaven would likely perish, be wiped out, not one left.

Wherever they passed, all living space was occupied by humans; every ecological niche, high, middle, and low, belonged to the human race; a single species could encompass all races, needing nothing from outside.

While Emperor Yan Shi was horrified to the extreme, the countless beings of Mo Shi Xiao Gao Jie also fell into terror.

"Ancient Emperors!"

"Ancient Emperors of the human race!"

"Quick—

?? Report it, report it to the Emperors of the Imperial Clan…"

King Chen Shan and a few other Kings had luckily survived the battle of the quasi-Emperors, because the two quasi-Emperors had not cared at all about their life or death.

They were now terrified to the extreme, frantically sending distress signals outward, lighting beacon after beacon.

"The human race!"

"How could this be…"

More powerful beings of the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan roared and bellowed; they were shocked, they were terrified, they felt their entire worldview had been overturned!

The human race!

This servant-like species, the very bottom of the servant races—weak in strength, weak in divine soul, and lacking all the powerful innate talents of other races.

Apart from generally possessing spiritual intelligence, this species had no outstanding merits whatsoever; from them one could see no traits of a powerful race at all.

But!

Now!

The human race had actually given birth to Ancient Emperors!

And not just one, but nine terrifyingly boundless Ancient Emperors!

This was nearly a force sufficient to sweep across Jiao Jiao Mingyu!

Such numbers, such terrifying strength, made even the most stubborn feel despair, daring not to attribute it to mere luck.

The human race must possess some terrifying innate talent unknown to them, far surpassing the visible and tangible divine soul talents, physical talents, and various innate abilities mastered by all races.

"Ancient Emperors of the human race…"

The Dao heart of King Mo Shan of the Mo Yan race nearly shattered in an instant.

Intense envy rose in his heart, and then he looked at the many surrounding Kings of the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan, the Imperial Guards of the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan, and his eyes unconsciously turned blood-red.

As for why, he himself did not know.

"We respectfully welcome the Ancient Emperors of the human race…"

"The Jiao Mo Imperial Clan is utterly brutal; we have long awaited the arrival of the Holy Lords…"

King Mo Shan hesitated, but the other Kings and his various servant-race powerful beings did not hesitate at all, surrendering one after another to the Ancient Emperors of the human race.

They strove to express their loyalty, fighting desperately to earn a Zhi Gong, regardless of whether the Ancient Emperors of the human race were separated by a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters and might not hear their cries at all.

In an instant, the members of the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan were surrounded by countless servant races with blood-red eyes, no longer the lofty masters they once were.

The countless living beings of the world were all stirring, as if they had all caught the scent of a great upheaval.

"This,"

"is… too noisy."

Facing the cries of countless beings, the great power of the Tianji Xiangong frowned.

In the strategy of the Nine Spirit Domain, the plan was not to decide the battle from the start, but to seize the initiative and obtain as much strategic advantage as possible before the final decisive battle—setting ambushes to kill several Ancient Emperors, dozens of Great Emperors, and the like in one stroke.

To achieve such

a goal, the Yan Shi Star Domain must remain as it was!

"I'll handle it."

The great power of Shadow Demon Abyss chuckled lightly.

Her—or his—black robe slipped back a fraction, revealing a fair jade hand, which pointed lightly at the starry sky; a drop of ink-black water fell, swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, instantly swelling into a black fog hundreds of millions of kilometers across, shrouding the entire Mo Shi Xiao Gao Jie.

This was not the end.

The jade hand of the mighty one from the Shadow Demon Abyss lightly tapped the void again; ten ink-black droplets, seemingly formed from the primordial essence of starry shadows, shot forth in all directions, piercing the star river and flying toward the remaining ten Minor Thousand Worlds.

These droplets split into two, then two into three, transforming into black mist the size of billions of kilometers, completely shrouding all beings within the ten Minor Thousand Worlds.

Under this eerie black mist, everything returned to normal.

All the noise and clamor vanished.

King Chen Shan and the other monarchs of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan ceased their terrified screams and frantic dispatching of distress talismans; Demon Mountain King no longer wavered in thought, and the powerful ones of each slave race resumed their respective duties.

The monarchs of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan ruled the four directions, while Demon Mountain King and others loyally served.

Everything reverted to its original state.

"Senior brothers,"

"Junior sister has already severed their related memories from the level of their soul and spirit."

The mighty one from the Shadow Demon Abyss smiled faintly: "However, it is still insufficient. In matters of Heavenly Secrets, the Dao of Cause and Effect, and concealing energy fluctuations, junior sister may not have done well enough; I beg the senior brothers to lend a hand."

She appeared very humble.

"Good."

"Good."

"Senior is too polite..."

The mighty one from the Immortal Heaven Palace accepted the task of cleansing the Heavenly Secrets and Cause and Effect, while the mighty one from the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace assisted from the side.

The Immortal Gate, as the distant commander, led the Tian Gang Di Sha Sky Army of the Immortal Gate to cleanse the energy fluctuations caused by the descent of the nine great mighty ones.

The Immortal Gate excelled in this aspect; with the assistance of the Central Array Spirit Computer, any alien aura not belonging to the Horned Demon Realm was cleansed, repeatedly inspected, with not a single trace overlooked.
