Chapter 1542: Martial Sovereign Reappears_2

"Who goes there?"

"Which powerful being has descended here to make a mockery of us?"

At this time, the gathered people gradually realized something was amiss. That suddenly emerging voice sounded extremely unfamiliar, not one of their own, but a completely foreign mighty being.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment the voice fell, the three hundred plus Innate Dao Sovereigns present all revived simultaneously, with earth-shattering auras spreading out, causing the void to shatter silently into nothingness.

It was only after the complete annihilation of the void that within that expanse of nothingness, a burly youth appeared. This individual was tall and appeared to be just over twenty years old, with black hair cascading down his shoulders, his gaze sharp to the extreme, evidently a dominant figure.

"It’s you, the Master of the Martial Hall!"

"Weren’t you suppressed by the Human King, how come you have suddenly appeared here?"

Seeing the newcomer’s appearance, the foreign experts present were all shocked, because the one before them was none other than the Master of the Martial Hall of the Human Race, suppressed single-handedly by Jiang Chen hundreds of years ago.

The Master of the Hall of the Human Race was a pride of the Human Race before the Human King, and also one of the key figures of the Human Race prior to the Human King.

In the era before the rise of the Human King, those who led the Human Race were several masters of the halls.

To the foreign alliance, the Human King was an existence they couldn’t afford to offend, and though the Master of the Martial Hall was not as imposing as the Human King, he too was someone they couldn’t afford to offend.

Even more so, many foreign races harbored deep fear in their hearts towards the Master of the Martial Hall.

One must know, the Master of the Martial Hall also once aspired for the position of the Human King, and his method to become the Human King was to subjugate the foreign races. For this purpose, he targeted the foreign lineage several times.

Had his stance not been exposed later and he not been confined in the Martial Hall by the upper echelons of the Human Race, depriving him of his freedom, it’s possible that the foreign lineage wouldn’t exist anymore, having been reduced to merely a stepping stone for him to become the Human King.

"Martial Sovereign, what is your purpose in appearing here? And what did you mean by your previous statement? On what basis do you claim that the Human King will reject us?"

Mystic Sovereign was the first to regain his composure, asking the Martial Sovereign with an unfriendly tone.

Although the Martial Sovereign was formidable, there were more than three hundred Innate Dao Sovereigns present. If a real fight broke out, they might not necessarily be afraid of him.

The Master of the Martial Hall, the first Quasi-Saint after the emergence of a new Martial Dao, held a unique significance, thus was revered by the world as the Martial Sovereign.

"I’m simply telling you a fact. Don’t you understand yet that you have no grounds to make the Human King concede?"

"You think yourselves extremely powerful when combined, even surpassing the strongest of the myriad races, so seeing you surrender, the Human King could not possibly remain unmoved."

"That is exactly your misunderstanding of the Human King. The Human King’s aspirations are far greater than you imagine. What counts a mere foreign lineage? It doesn’t matter if you submit, even if the myriad races come to pledge allegiance, the Human King’s conditions will not change."

"Because the Human King has never put you in his eyes, nor considered you as opponents, naturally, he also doesn’t care about your attitude."

Martial Sovereign said with a smile, clearer than anyone present, that as long as the Human King remains, there is almost no possibility for the foreign lineage to return to the Human Race.

The resources currently in the control of the Human King aren’t even sufficient to cultivate his own direct lineage, let alone to allot a portion to cultivate outsiders.

"What do you mean?"

"Together, we have enough power to create a Human King for the Human Race, a Great Divine Transcendent, several Quasi-Saints, and many Taoist Masters."

"Why would the Human King have any reason to refuse?"

Seeing Martial Sovereign’s expression did not seem like a facade, the Celestial Taoist Master couldn’t help but be somewhat startled; still, he forced himself to calm down and asked the Martial Sovereign coldly.

It was possible that the Martial Sovereign was just trying to frighten them.

"The reason to refuse you is simple, agreeing to your return to the Human Race, would only create the strong beings you’ve mentioned."

"But by rejecting your return to the Human Race and instead eradicating you, it would enable the creation of a Human Emperor, a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

"Put yourselves in that situation, what choice would you make?"

Without beating around the bush, the Martial Sovereign spoke outright.

"A Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos? You’re giving us too much credit, sir. Even if our power was ten times stronger, we could not create a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial."

The Giant Taoist Master felt that the Martial Sovereign was talking nonsense. If they were so impressive, how would he know?

"What exactly do you mean, Martial Sovereign?"

It was the Mystic Taoist Master who seemed to understand something, tentatively asking.

"Relying solely on you is indeed insufficient, but add us, as well as all the Human Race of the Dongsheng Divine Continent, then that would be enough."

The Martial Sovereign wore a slight smile finally revealing his purpose.

"The Human King is tyrannical, heedlessly slaughtering his own people and those with merit; dissatisfaction with him is widespread among our people. It is his formidable strength that keeps them from voicing their anger."

"Now that I have received guidance from a Saint and gained control of the Kungang Seal, I’ve finally realized my destiny—to lead everyone in the resistance against the tyrant, to return a just Heaven and Earth to the Human Race."

"My friends, are you willing to lend me your support?"

The long-standing schemes of the Human Race and the Mystic Sect had finally revealed just the tip of the iceberg. And the Martial Sovereign was the key player in this game.

Jiang Chen does not wish to see the return of the other races to the Human Race, his primary goal is to push them to the opposing side, thereby defeating them in one fell swoop, resolving all unstable factors within and outside of the Human Race.

Upon learning of Jiang Chen’s intentions, the Mystic Sect, the greatest enemy of the Human Race, did not sabotage his plans but instead, actively coordinated, directly reaching out to those powers dissatisfied with Jiang Chen and unifying them into a single entity.

And the Martial Sovereign was the leader of this anti-Jiang Chen alliance.

Because of the previous indiscriminate killings of prominent families, many esteemed members within the Human Race were extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Chen. Additionally, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect and the spies from various major powers embedded within the Human Race also held significant grievances against Jiang Chen.

Ordinarily, this wouldn’t matter much, for even if they were dissatisfied, they could only hold it in due to Jiang Chen’s superior strength.

But then the Martial Sovereign appeared. With numerous Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect backing him, he easily consolidated these internal forces within the Human Race who were dissatisfied with Jiang Chen, thus gaining a substantial power base.

"You think you can, just by yourself? Even with the Kungang Seal, how is it any match for the Human King? It’s laughable to think you can oppose the Human King with just a Magic Treasure."

The Barbarian Sovereign’s face was full of contempt. Although he too was shocked that the Martial Sovereign could obtain the Kungang Seal, thinking that one could contend against the Human King with just a Magic Treasure was utterly ridiculous in his eyes.

As everyone knows, the one thing the Human King has in abundance is treasures. To compete with him in this aspect is surely to pit one’s weakness against his strength.

"Relying solely on the Kungang Seal is indeed far from enough. However, the Kungang Seal represents the stance of the Saint of Taiqing."

"The Saint of Taiqing entrusting me with the Kungang Seal clearly shows his extreme dissatisfaction with the Human King and his desire to find a new ruler for the Human Race."

"It’s true that we are no match for the Human King, but with the support of the Saint of Taiqing, are we still no match for him?"

The purpose of the Martial Sovereign’s visit was to win over the other races. Jiang Chen might have looked down on them, but the Martial Sovereign did not; with such a formidable force falling into his hands, it would be akin to adding wings to a tiger.

Therefore, to achieve this goal, he did not mind revealing some of his cards.

"The Saint of Taiqing?"

Hearing what the Martial Sovereign said, many present were tempted.

The Human King is indeed powerful, but after all, he is not a Saint, and even if he were, he wouldn’t be a match for the veteran Saints. With the support of a Saint, it is indeed possible to bring down the Human King.

Moreover, it’s not hard to discern that the Human King does not favor their line from his previous attitude. On the contrary, the Martial Sovereign personally came here, explaining the pros and cons, which shows his sincerity.

Since the Martial Sovereign is so sincere, why should they go and seek favors from Jiang Chen, only to be snubbed?

"A Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos?"

"So that’s it. The Human King said something to you, and that was the meaning."

At this moment, the Heavenly Human Taoist Master, who had been silent for so long, suddenly understood what the Martial Sovereign meant by a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos earlier.

The fate of the other races indeed cannot support the emergence of a Primordial Dao Fruit, but what if it’s not only the other races who are the Human King’s enemies?
