1089: Chapter 380 Heavenly Fury Guards!

“Wind!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi shoved aside the two trusted aides pressing down on him and, without looking at them, furrowing his brows as he gazed westward.

The heavens and earth were shrouded in vast desolation, and though separated by great distance, it was impossible to see clearly what was happening in that direction.

Suddenly, a trusted aide reported that several recuperating ministers had been ambushed, with three ministers fallen and two critically injured.

Xuanyuan Huangdi murmured softly: “Quickly go to the Western Continent to investigate!”

Several trusted aides and their leaders immediately accepted the orders and rushed toward the nearest translocation formation.

Xuanyuan Huangdi turned around and hurried to the ministers who had been ambushed.

He raised his hand and lightly brushed his neck, sensing a faint and elusive, smoke-like eerie power.

The Human Emperor Dragon Qi reacted instinctively and evaporated the power in an instant.

Corrosive force?

Xuanyuan Huangdi pondered momentarily, immediately deducing the likely cause, and called out loudly: “Everyone, stay away from the attacked ministers!

Do not approach their bodies either!

They may be afflicted with inner Heavenly Dao taint!”

But his warning came slightly late.

By the time Xuanyuan Huangdi reached the critically injured ministers and enveloped these heroic elders, who had rendered remarkable military service for the Human Race, with the Dragon Qi, he discovered the strange force on their bodies had already dissipated, leaving only faint traces behind.

That bizarre inner Heavenly Dao power had already transferred away.

Xuanyuan Huangdi surveyed his surroundings, seeing only his own trusted aides and more than ten ministers who had arrived upon hearing the news.

Everyone appeared tranquil.

Everyone also seemed perfectly normal.

His Dragon Qi permeated everywhere, yet there were no anomalies.

Outside the tent, streaks of light descended, and a minister stumbled forward, crying out:

“Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Minister Feng… Minister Feng suddenly severed his own life force, detonated his Primordial Spirit… gravely injured Chiyou, annihilated several great demons…”

Xuanyuan Huangdi stood frozen.

He remained silent for a long time, his trembling left hand reaching out to hold something at his side, but all he touched was empty air.

‘Mu, what do you want to do in the future?’

‘I want to practice demonic techniques and join the Flame Heaven Army!

Now the Hundred Clans keep provoking us every day, even threatening to band together and attack us.

I’ll let them taste the power of our Human Race’s demonic skills!

The Heavenly Court was conquered by us!’

‘And you, Feng?

You are the grandson of Emperor Fuxi.’

‘What my grandfather bestowed upon me is merely the name ‘Feng.’ I wish to follow my father, learn the Innate Eight Trigrams, and see if I can derive my own version of the Eight Trigrams.

I also want to study the ways of governing nations and bringing stability to the world.

My father frequently admonishes me: relying solely on martial might cannot bring prosperity to the Human Race.’

‘How about you, Ji?’

‘Me?

I want to become the husband of a hundred women!’

…

‘Your Majesty!

From now on, we must address you as Your Majesty.

This is the dignity of the Human Emperor.

Without dignity, how can you command respect?’

‘Then, I’ll call you Feng in private, and you can call me Ji.’

‘From now on, there will be no private moments for you.

Everything about you must be dedicated to the grand cause of the Human Race’s rise.

Go and accompany your dozens of consorts.’

‘Hahaha!

I’ll aim for a hundred!

But recently, my energy has been a bit lacking; I need to figure out an Yin Yang Great Method!’

…

‘Feng, what happens if we lose this battle?

We have no retreat.’

‘Your Majesty, we won’t lose.

My divinations show that victory is certain today!’

‘Are you deceiving me for not understanding divinations?

Your recent readings clearly indicated a mix of fortune and misfortune.

Are you really considering falling into demonic ways?

Falling into demonic ways means I’d be telling them they’re sent to die—this is entirely different from them dying on the battlefield.’

‘Your Majesty, let me take the role of the villain.’

‘You go command the battle formations; do you think I’m so fragile?

I am the Human Emperor, standing tall and resolute, with an unshirkable duty.

What’s sending my civilians to death compared to that?

Ha… It’s truly unbearable.’

Unbearable.

Unbearable!

Xuanyuan Huangdi’s body slowly hunched over, raising his hand to thump his chest as tears swelled in his eyes, forcibly held back.

“Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, please restrain your grief!”

“Prepare the army,” Xuanyuan Huangdi said shakily, “Pacify the Western Continent, pacify it for me!”

“Yes!”

Outside the tent came earth-shaking shouts.

…

Northern Continent, at the site where the giant crow exploded.

Li Ping’an plopped onto the ground, his body encrusted in thick layers of blood scabs.

Li Dazhi came over to help him up, but his movements were slightly fumbling, almost toppling him instead.

The Great Mage and Lady Ba were cooperating to intercept Ancestor Minghe.

Minghe darted left and right, appearing full of momentum but was, in reality, seeking a chance to escape, already covered in numerous wounds.

Though Li Ping’an had snatched a sword directly from him, claiming control over the Avenue of Slaughter, Minghe’s refined Sea of Blood still remained, along with the ‘As long as the Sea of Blood doesn’t dry, Minghe won’t die’ Divine Skill.

The Sea of Blood was continuously funneling Spiritual Power to Minghe.

As long as Minghe recovered a bit more vitality, he could escape the siege of Lady Ba and the Great Mage;

Or, Minghe might willingly pay a price.

The moment Li Ping’an returned to the primary world, the Avenue of All Beings resonating with the Heavenly Dao allowed him to regain perception of the heavens and the earth.

He felt deeply the fear and resentment of living beings in the East Continent during calamities, and the anger and hatred of soldiers fighting in the West Continent.

And the root of all these grievances—was Minghe.

For personal ambition, attempting Hedao, he ended up being used as a battery by inner Heavenly Dao… What an atrocious being.

Thinking he could escape without paying the price?

Li Ping’an summoned his strength, shouting: “Uncle Gongming!

Quickly use the Stabilizing Seas Pearl!”

Ancestor Minghe’s Dao Body shuddered but reacted instantly by employing a devastating Blood Escape Method, annihilating his Dao Body into hundreds of blood droplets.

The Great Mage and Lady Ba struck together, suppressing and obliterating sixty percent of the blood droplets, but the remaining thirty-plus percent escaped into the void, disappearing from sight.

However, when Minghe’s body reassembled at the base of the Sea of Blood, he looked up and was so enraged he spewed blood intensely.
