Chapter 1637: The Human Race's Heavenly Dao's Spoiling

"Your name?"

The Great Sun Sword Child spoke his first words.

In that instant, the rivers of stars across the universe came to a halt.

With no divine sense and no magical force whatsoever, merely voice, merely will, the very sky and earth were made to still.

This was the Human Race's Dao Child of Immortality.

This was the Human Dao in bloom—the great, cold, cruel Human Dao in bloom!

The endless history of the Human Dao reflected the universe's past and future; at this moment it was stirred, stirred before a specific opponent—speak, and the law follows.

No force, no rule laid upon him, merely being stirred.

Because the Human Race's mighty ones throughout the ages have never needed such things!

One hand alone to suppress the world, all by himself.

That alone was enough.

"The Human Race's Heavenly Dao…"

The Immortal Artifact Child's pupils contracted.

He knew what he was looking at.

He knew what this portent was, and a fierce premonition rose unbidden in his heart—a sense of crisis from a blue-robed youth whose magic power, treasures, and divine sense were all inferior to his own.

However!

How could this person have stirred the Human Race's Heavenly Dao?

His strength clearly had not reached that level.

The Immortal Artifact Child did not answer the Great Sun Sword Child's words for a long time.

The surrounding nearly ten billion flesh-and-blood furnace Dao soldiers and several dozen core disciples of the Immortal Artifact Sect spread out a demonic world of flame furnaces; every instant the eighth-tier army formation grew swiftly stronger, every instant drawing in the surrounding world's spiritual Qi to give birth to ever more profound rules.

"Hm? Not speaking?"

"Are you mute?"

A trace of crimson gradually surfaced in the Great Sun Sword Child's black-and-white eyes.

The crimson in his pupils rapidly spread across the entire iris; the terrifying killing intent accumulated over tens of thousands of years burst forth, and the brutality and murderous aura erupting in an instant even dispersed the killing Qi of the Immortal Artifact Sect's ten billion troops.

"How bold of you,"

"a mere Dao Child of some ant-like race crawled out of who knows what backwater, daring before this sovereign to ignore this sovereign's words."

"Such rudeness—you shall pay a price!"

The Great Sun Sword Child's crimson pupils gazed at the Immortal Artifact Child, and at the Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon-Refining Furnace burning unceasingly upon his chest, and said quietly: "Did you hear it? The voice within the Heavenly Dao."

"The Immortal Artifact Sect shall surely be destroyed by this sovereign!"

"This sovereign has seen it."

"Seen it!"

"The Human Race's Heavenly Dao favors me. Without the interference of an incomparably powerful being above the Heavenly Human realm, the Immortal Artifact Sect will surely be mine—mine! This is the Human Race's Heavenly Dao's spoiling of its young child…"

Human Race sword cultivator!

This was the Human Race's Heavenly Dao's spoiling of its Dao Child of Immortality—slightly deflecting fate and cause

and effect, not letting the Immortal Artifact Sect perish prematurely, letting it live until this sword cultivator had grown.

Beyond this, there was nothing.

No augmentation of Heavenly Dao power, no favoritism of rules, much less any great being's favor bestowing a supreme treasure.

These were things done by those ant-like races.

The future rulers of the endless starry skies' hegemon races must surely rise from hardship and peril, cleave through every obstacle, and achieve the supreme Dao.

If they could not, then they deserved to die!

The Human Race has never lacked prodigies!

"Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

"It's truly mine, mine…"

Confirming this, the blue-robed youth's face changed in an instant; no longer stern, he was so excited he was nearly going mad.

He capered and cheered among the ten billion troops, as though he had obtained some marvelous toy, wildly showing it off.

"You said—what—belongs to you, ant…"

The Immortal Artifact Child's eyes instantly turned blood-red, each word bitten out.

The puppet self-will hidden beneath the human skin and flesh gave birth to an utterly terrifying killing intent—to the death, as though a mortal enemy sharing no sky.

The Immortal Artifact Sect's innermost core leadership took all Human Race cultivators under heaven as slaves and servants, refined countless Human Race cultivators into treasure components, and directly launched an industrial revolution in Immortal Dao flesh-and-blood puppetry; productivity surged enormously, they even gained the Heavenly Dao's favor, and the entire sect flourished.

Yet everyone knew the crisis hidden beneath this splendor.

The malice of the endless starry skies' hegemon races!

This was the price.

No matter how awe-inspiring the Immortal Artifact Sect's might, unchallenged in the upper realm, this was merely because the Immortal Artifact Sect's history on the endless starry skies' timescale was far too brief—it had only just produced its first generation, the time was too short.

So short that not even many true Human Race mighty ones had noticed this place.

With the passage of time, perhaps one day, merely an unknown Human Race mighty one passing through Immortal Fall Realm by chance, and an Immortal Sect dominating the upper realm's winds and clouds would be wiped out in an instant!

This was the reason the fear always existed in the deepest souls of the Immortal Artifact Sect's true core beings—even including that supreme sovereign of the sect.

For this reason they ceaselessly reformed, ceaselessly rolled out new Immortal Dao technologies, ceaselessly cultivated mighty ones and forged puppets, never pausing for a single moment.

Though the Human Race is strong, it is not without enemies.

Though the Human Race is strong, its internal strife is extremely fierce, cruel and ruthless; ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of its kin die at the hands of their own kind, making it hard to unite their strength.

If true powerful human cultivators from outside were to arrive, the human Immortal Sects would likely be the most tense.

The universe and starry sky are so vast...

Due to various concrete reasons, over hundreds of thousands of years passed, gradually causing the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong

to put aside their inner worries and begin to believe they truly possessed the Upper Realm.

But now!

An ant, right before their eyes, pierced through their illusions and, under the favor of the Human Dao, made a prophecy: the Qi Sect will surely be destroyed in the future!

He is laughing!

He is still laughing with arrogant delight!

This damn ant, this weak mongrel, is still laughing excitedly!

This scene deeply stabbed the heart of the Qi Sect disciple.

"Die!"

The Qi Sect disciple commanded coldly.

Nearly ten billion flesh-furnace puppet Dao soldiers, beasts, half-humans, spider-types, snake-types, and countless other puppets simultaneously lowered their bodies slightly; the nearly ten billion puppets moved in perfect unison to expose the mechanical blood-net cannon barrels on their backs. Deep red light flickered within the barrels, emitting a deadly aura.

Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light!

This inheritance from the Spirit Treasure Realm of the previous generation of human Immortal Sects was expanded and applied to every rank by the Qi Sect.

At this moment, the laser blood-net cannon barrels carried on the backs of these nearly ten billion flesh-furnace Dao soldiers were exactly that. Known as the slayer of ten thousand Dao, even the second-rank Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light used by Foundation Establishment-level puppets had an extremely subtle destructive effect on Heavenly Men.

Not to mention the vast numbers of Soul Transformation, Void Refining, and Dao-Integration level Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light.

Now, here exist nearly ten billion puppets, forming an eighth-rank Dao Soldier Great Formation!

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The moment those nearly ten billion flesh-furnace puppets lowered their bodies, the Furnace Great Formation began to operate.

Ten billion terrifying beams of Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light erupted. Crimson light illuminated heaven and earth, shattering ten thousand Dao rules, destroying hundreds of millions of living beings, extinguishing brilliant radiance, and blocking out the sun in the sky.

"Haha—"

The mad voice from the sun suddenly ceased.

Boom!

Immediately, the sun and stars radiated brilliance, condensing into the mind of the youth in green robes, transforming into a celestial sun divine ring. Endless light gathered into a single sword, slashing toward the endless Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light. Even though the divine light was formless and intangible, it could not pierce this destructive sun sword.

The sun and the Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light clashed for a moment,

Boom!

The sun shattered, pierced into scattered fragments by nearly ten billion beams of Demon-Slaying, God-Extinguishing, Dao-Breaking Divine Light. A wretched figure of a youth in green robes, coughing blood and retreating violently, appeared amidst heaven and earth.
