Chapter 1018

"A filthy, corrupt world!"

Wu Tie threw out that group of newly subdued Descended Gods, and Sheng Rong's voice was the first to sound.

The people of the Light God Race all have mysophobia, and it's almost pathological. Usually, they sit upright in the immaculate temple of the Light God Race, yet they still feel as if their whole body could be contaminated at any moment, so they must constantly surround themselves with extreme, pure divine light.

The present Liuli Pure Land can be called a hell on earth.

Those corpses, remnants, garbage, rotting flesh, withered plants and trees, and the already completely putrid water flow, etc., as seen in the eyes of Sheng Rong and others, seemed exactly like shoving them into a sewer, driving them nearly mad.

Nearly two thousand blinding silver and white divine lights shot up into the sky, accompanied by the hysterical screams of Sheng Rong and a few high-ranking clansmen, tearing huge circular holes in the thick dark clouds above.

The strong divine light burst through the dark clouds, spreading outward in rings, and in an instant it extended over hundreds of thousands of li.

The Liuli Pure Land spans hundreds of thousands of li, and now the enormous city is completely bathed in sunlight poured down from the cloud holes.

The strong divine light washed over the city; bloody, fuzzy corpses turned into specks of light halo and drifted away, countless severed limbs were completely purified by the divine light, and the messy flesh hanging everywhere vanished in the divine light.

In every silted, rotting river and stream, in those open channels already filled with mud and other unspeakable filth, all impurity vanished under the intense, high-temperature divine light.

At the distant water source, clear water flowed with a "hualala" sound, gradually filling the big and small waterways of the Liuli Pure Land.

In the city, the surfaces of buildings wrapped in killing and resentful qi, looking gloomy and sinister, saw large patches of bluish-black malign qi rising; accompanied by Sheng Rong's screams and curses, these malign qi vanished like frost under a blazing sun in an instant.

The entire Liuli Pure Land—every street, every building, every plant, even the tiniest brick seam—was scrubbed clean by this extreme, overbearing, exclusionary divine light.

Every brick and tile, every beam and pillar, every stone big or small became spotless and shone brightly.

The divine light showered by Sheng Rong and his people even possessed tremendous penetrative power, directly piercing through soil and rock layers tens of thousands of zhang deep, thoroughly purifying the land beneath the Liuli Pure Land city.

Among the buildings of all sizes, groups of foul‑smelling great and minor demons rushed out, howling hysterically at the sky.

Then, those demons daring to bare their teeth and roar at the sky had their eyeballs instantly vaporized by the fierce divine light; afterward their bodies ignited in silver‑white flames, and the lowest‑ranked, most numerous minor demons turned into wisps of green smoke in the blink of an eye.

"I cannot tolerate the existence of these filthy……animals." Sheng Rong burned all over with fierce silver divine fire, as if this could isolate him from all external filth.

A vessel, entirely semi‑transparent, exquisitely beautiful, shaped like a creature bearing hundreds of gorgeous wings, its tail raised high like a peacock's, and its prow bearing a stunning statue of a girl with twelve pairs of wings growing from her back, kneeling, appeared in the air as a light‑ship.

This ship seems to have no solid form; it is condensed from countless intersecting strands of divine light.

Sheng Rong and nearly two thousand of his clansmen boarded the light‑ship; divine light spewed from the wings, each several dozen li long, and exquisite, unparalleled pale‑gold divine sigils appeared on the hull, slowly rotating around the ship to form dozens of layers of powerful pale‑gold divine light barriers.

In the next instant, hundreds of gorgeous silver wings flung open, and countless thumb‑thick silver divine lights sprayed from the splendid feathers like a storm, sweeping across the entire Liuli Pure Land.

Jia Ye laughed, tears streaming as he murmured, "Yeah, purify it, destroy it, Liuli Pure Land, just like that……destroy it."

Within the Liuli Pure Land stretching hundreds of thousands of li, no one knows how many great and minor demons have gathered here.

A sky‑filling silver divine light fell; the vast majority of those great and minor demons were burned to ash by the earlier light, while the sufficiently powerful great demons that barely withstood the first wave saw silver streams of light plummeting rapidly from the sky.

Streams of silver light precisely pierced the brows of those great demons, destroying their souls, and then silver divine fire burst from within them with a "huhuh" sound, turning their bodies into masses of pure flame.

Within the Liuli Pure Land, clusters of flames flickered.

Countless silver streams of light also pierced building after building—whether stone, beam, or tile—and as they exploded, clusters of flames several zhang in size ignited out of thin air.

The air grew scorching, and every speck of dust in it turned into blue smoke and vanished.

The Liuli Pure Land was ablaze everywhere; even the air was purified to near emptiness.

Wu Tie exclaimed in admiration: "What tremendous destructive power……but it seems only suited for slaughtering the weak?"

Wu Tou turned his head and grinned at Wu Tie: "The Light God Race is naturally good at deceiving and slaughtering the weak……Light God Race peers never dare to challenge peers of the Barbarian God Clan……They're all pretty little white faces, all soft‑bodied!"

Sheng Rong, standing at the light‑ship's hub divine array, heard Wu Tou's slanderous words clearly; his face twitched, he wanted to settle the score with Wu Tou, but considering his present status and situation, Sheng Rong swallowed his resentment.

The innate enemy of the Light God Race, Xu You, spoke gloomily from the side: "Your Majesty, the Light Vessel is not only a great weapon for slaughtering the weak; more importantly, its escape speed is extremely swift……Ah ha, among the flying divine artifacts forged by the gods, none can outrun the Light Vessel."

"They rush onto the battlefield first, flaunting their might before weak foes, inflicting large‑scale damage on weak enemies to seize the first wave of merit……Once a strong foe appears, they immediately pilot the Light Vessel, abandon all allies, and flee first……This is the Light God Race's most practiced maneuver over countless years."

The leader of the thirty thousand Ice Spirit God Clan forcibly subdued by Wu Tie, You Du's younger brother You Die, also spoke up beside them.

He was quite disparaging, reducing the significance of the Light Vessel to the utmost.

Wu Tou, Xu You, and You Die glanced at each other, then burst out laughing loudly together.

Sheng Rong's face darkened with anger; he let out a furious roar, the hundreds of wings on the Light Vessel snapped tight against its rear, and nearly two thousand Light God Race members simultaneously produced mountain‑sized, supremely high‑grade essence crystals, continuously tossing them into the vessel's hull.

Blinding pale‑gold divine light flared on the hull of the Light Vessel.

At the same time, Patriarch Pingtian and a dozen or so demon sovereigns rushed out of the great hall, gazing toward Wu Tie and company and shouting in unison: "Who dares……"

Patriarch Pingtian hadn't finished his sentence when he let out an "Ao!" shout: "It's them, it's them, hurry and call for aid from the brothers, hurry……Ah……it's this gang of murderous scoundrels who chased us all the way from another continent to here."

"All the children we brought with us have been harmed by their vicious hands."

"Even the old brothers who once joined me in hunting down enemies have been wiped out by their great divine powers……"

"Hurry and summon the Black Dragon Sovereign and the Heaven‑Devouring Sovereign, hurry……"

The light‑ship's prow bore a towering statue of a girl a hundred zhang tall, kneeling; it blazed with piercing divine light, the twelve pairs of wings behind her soaring high, her hands clasped before her chest, and at some point a radiant image of a treasure vase about a zhang in diameter appeared between her palms.

A terrifying power brewed within that treasure vase, and as Patriarch Pingtian let out a hoarse roar, an outrageously strong divine light screamed out from inside the treasure vase.

The instant that pale‑gold divine light shot out of the treasure vase, even Wu Tie's now formidable flesh and his tempered spiritual eye caused him to instinctively close his eyes; between heaven and earth, aside from that blinding golden beam, all other light seemed to vanish in an instant.

Even though Wu Tie shut his eyes quickly, he still felt a sting in his eyes, and a blinding afterimage lingered in his vision, refusing to fade.

Wu Tou and You Die shouted in unison, cursing.

Meanwhile, Xu You, together with the thirty thousand Dark Soul God Clan, hurled the most vicious curses at Sheng Rong's parents.

The instant that pale‑gold divine light burst forth, heaven and earth were flooded with light; the black smoke enveloping the thirty thousand Dark Soul God Clan members was almost instantly vaporized, and then a thick black mist rose from their bodies.

In just a moment, You Die and the other Dark Soul God Clan members were all injured, caught off guard and unable to defend, nearly being steamed by the residual afterglow of that pale‑gold divine light.

A zhang‑thick golden divine light howled as it surged toward Patriarch Pingtian and the others.

Patriarch Pingtian let out an angry roar, backhandedly seized a demon sovereign by the neck, and used him as a shield against the pale‑gold light pillar.

That unfortunate demon sovereign let out an earth‑shaking roar: "Pingtian, I fuck‑your‑mother!"

A violent wind sprang up; the surrounding ancient, simple palaces and pavilions instantly shattered, then were ignited by the surrounding divine fire, turning into a sea of flames stretching thousands of li.

A black‑shell hairy crab with a carapace spanning over two thousand li appeared out of nowhere in midair.

This huge black‑shell hairy crab waved its four mutated giant pincers, using them like shields before itself.

The pale‑gold light pillar heavily struck the crab's pincer; with a dull thud, the pillar pierced the massive pincer and surged into the crab's enormous body.

The black shell turned red in an instant; obviously the organs and viscera inside this crab demon venerable's body were baked by the pale golden light pillar in that instant.

Ping Tian Old Ancestor and more than ten demon venerables shouted in unison, simultaneously pressing a palm onto the huge body of the black-shelled crab.

Streams of mighty demonic power poured into the giant crab; that astonishingly destructive pale golden light pillar finally failed to pierce the crab's body, and was completely exhausted inside it.

The black-shelled crab spewed a scorching heat wave, and the air above half of Liuli Pure Land filled with the distinctive fresh fragrance of "bald yellow oil".

"Ping Tian... Old Man and I will never die, you, you, you're using me as a shield!" The demon venerable's vitality is so strong and tenacious; after taking that blow, his body was baked, yet this black-shelled crab still had intermittent strength to speak.

Ping Tian Old Ancestor gave a cold snort, raised his hand and dropped his fist, smashing the black-shelled crab's skull with one blow, completely cutting off his remaining vitality.

"This move is amazing!" Wu Tou muttered to himself.

"Coward, only knows how to borrow divine artifacts." Xu You's eyes spat fire, staring with extreme envy at the Light Vessel controlled by Sheng Rong. He suddenly turned his head, smiling obsequiously at Wu Tie: "Your Majesty, if that enormous extraordinary warship of yours could incorporate the Light Vessel, its regular flight speed would surely increase by several notches."

Wu Tie raised an eyebrow, looking with considerable interest at that extraordinary Light Vessel.

Sheng Rong and the faces of several high-ranking clansmen suddenly drooped, as if seeing their father's killer, staring at Xu You with utter hatred.

Xu You gave a "hehe" laugh, pointed fiercely at Ping Tian Old Ancestor and his companions: "Brothers, for the sake of the great Majesty, kill these... lowly beings."

Thirty thousand Dark Soul Clan members drifted forward together.

Thirty thousand Ice Spirit Divine Clan members glided forward together.

The other over 200,000 descended divine clans formed battle arrays in groups of three or five, approaching Ping Tian Old Ancestor and his companions with indifferent expressions.

In their eyes, these demon tribes were merely tools they raised, tools used to deal with the humans of Mu Dalu.

Tools, lowly creatures—being beaten and killed by these lofty masters isn't that just natural and proper?

"This bunch of idiots, these guys, don't even know you are what they call the Holy Ancestor..." Wu Tie shook his head, giving Devil Supreme a glance.

Devil Supreme let out a great roar, bringing forth a burst of black energy.

Ping Tian Old Ancestor likewise let out a great roar, and together with Devil Supreme they swiftly turned, their fists swinging like thunder, immediately becoming a tangled mass.

Zhu Ganglie, the Golden-Eyed Demon Venerable, and nine other demon venerables flew out at once, joining the melee with those more than ten demon venerables.

From all directions, outside Liuli Pure Land, in cities, towns, and nests big and small, countless great and minor demons stepped on demon clouds, howling angrily as they rushed toward Liuli Pure Land.

They had already received the order from the demon venerables garrisoned inside Liuli Pure Land, knowing that enemies had invaded Liuli Pure Land.

These demons, whose wildness remains and who possess little wisdom, had no idea what was going on; each, driven by instinct and under the orders of higher-ranking demons, rushed forward with burning fervor and joyous leaps.

Xu You and You Di exchanged a glance, then let out an unusually cunning shout, commanding the 30,000 descended clansmen to meet the swarming demons charging from east and west—as for those dozen or so demon venerables up front, heh, let someone else gnaw on those tough bones.

Those other divine beings aren't stupid either.

Immediately they split into two groups, going to meet the demon tribes rushing from south and north.

The demon horde came with extreme speed, and moreover many great demons of the Divine Clarity Realm took command; they traveled without trace, covering thousands of miles in an instant, and soon the demon horde became entangled with the divine armies' formations.

After about a quarter of an hour, several extremely powerful auras shot up into the sky in the distance.

A hoarse voice echoed from afar: "Who dares offend the Mi Tian Demon Alliance? Brothers, stand shoulder to shoulder, kill!"
