Chapter 438: Four One Six - Plot of the Human Race’s Upper Echelon

Once Jiang Chen invokes the power of his divine position, he will immediately be endowed with the power of the Nine Heavens and the blessings of Heaven Court’s fate. Even an ordinary Dao Sovereign is nothing compared to him.

Of course, there are powerhouses capable of killing Jiang Chen, but unless they absolutely have to, they would not dare to cross swords with him.

If you assume the imperial position, it’s as if Jiang Chen has registered with the Heavenly Dao. Whoever dares to kill him, divine punishment will fall upon them instantly.

"Ancestor... No!"

Seeing his savior killed, Divine Monarch Wu Huan’s sparks of hope and energy came to an instantaneous halt.

In that very moment, Divine Monarch Wu Huan looked like a person stranded without help, standing amidst the Thunder Sea. Endless thunderbolts were his enemies.

As the thunderbolts erupted, a series of thunderbolt bombs created immense gravitational pull from all sides, tearing his protective aura to shreds.

This Thunder Sea was created by Jiang Chen based on his understanding of the Cycle , and although it was built with the power of Thunder, the path of some Stars revolves within it, thereby considerably enhancing the power of the Thunderbolts.

"Humph! Even if I die, I won’t let you off easily. Explode!" Seeing no way out, Divine Monarch Wu Huan was resolved to self-destruct, forcing all the residents of Xia City to accompany him in death.

Regarding this, Jiang Chen simply chuckled lightly, uttering the innate divine language: "Suppress!"

At that very moment, the Thunder Sea changed form. Star constellations made by the Thunder were born, demonstrating the Cycle’s evolution, with the radiant power of the Boundless Starry Sky in tow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Thunder Sea shook violently, transformed into a giant asterism, enveloped Divine Monarch Wu Huan, stirred violently, and forced Divine Monarch Wu Huan’s body and primordial spirit to shatter simultaneously into pure energies suppressed by numerous thunderbolts.

"Capture!"

The Creation Pagoda of the Thirty-three Heavens appeared, releasing a beam of divine light, capturing the suppressed Divine Monarch Wu Huan.

And thus, an Innate Dao Monarch born at the end of the ancestral era was swiftly suppressed by Jiang Chen.

In terms of level, Divine Monarch Wu Huan was indeed higher than Jiang Chen. If it were not for his disadvantage against Jiang Chen, the outcome of their clash would have been unpredictable.

It must be said, Jiang Chen’s command of Thunder is too overpowering. Except for the Innate Divine Demon fostered by the Thunder Dao, virtually everyone else would find themselves at a disadvantage against him, unable to use even one-tenth of their abilities.

Having suppressed Wu Huan, Jiang Chen did not leave immediately. Instead, he scanned Xia City with his eyes, finding each and every alien race hiding there.

Cleansing the Divine Race is cleansing, and cleansings of other races are no different. Now that Jiang Chen had taken action, it was not the time to go easy on them. This was the perfect opportunity to rid all the races that were flexing their muscles within the Human Race.

Thinking thus, Jiang Chen silently utilized the Innate Eight Diagrams, predicting which of these aliens had ever been oppressors of the Human Race.

Quickly, Jiang Chen had his answer. With his right hand raised, he made a grasping motion in the air, and from nowhere, an Innate Divine Thunderbolt descended, exterminating a human-like creature engulfed in flames.

"The fire spirit race’s Qi Xiang! An oppressor of the Human Race, one who disregards our rules—deserves death!"

Only then did Jiang Chen’s resonant voice echo across Xia City. This was not the end, but only the beginning.

"Water Spirit Race... deserves death!"

"Three-eyed Divine Race... deserves death!"

"Multi-arm Race... deserves death!"

...

In a blink of an eye, more than half a dozen experts from various races were blasted by Jiang Chen with the Innate Divine Thunder. This action left the alien guests at the scene in utter shock.

Damn! He dare to shoot anyone, fear nothing, and totally unafraid of making enemies.

After exterminating everyone he had deduced to be culpable, Jiang Chen finally stopped, leaving Xia City encased in countless thunderbolts.

However, after his departure, his stern voice echoed across the entire Xia City, even throughout Xia Country: "I don’t care where you hail from or your background. All I know is that you must abide by the rules of the Human Race since you are here."

"Otherwise, the people we just dealt with will be your end."

As his voice resonated, the sky above showed the faint illusion of the Nine-layered Yun Xiao, exuding a terrifying, suffocating pressure.

This Thunder, it seemed as though it was exploding in the hearts of the people. It made people feel endless fear.

"Such brilliant Thunder techniques, who is this person? I never thought there would be such a person in the Human Race, so versed in the Thunder techniques."

Through Jiang Chen’s intimidation, the top fighters of all clans immediately felt an intense sense of apprehension. They became a lot more low-profile in their actions, no longer daring to act recklessly as before.

On the other hand, the people from the Human Race had smiles on their faces and they walked a lot straighter than before.

...

...

"Seeking death!"

In the endless void, the God Lord felt his avatar being killed, and immediately roared in anger. He then prepared to tear through the void, and personally come to Xia City to slay Jiang Chen.

However, before the God Sovereign could act, a ray of sword light emerged from the distant end of the void, carrying the will of heaven and cut off his path.

"Chengtian Sword!"

"It’s you, the Human Race’s Jain Xuan, the Chengtian Dao Sovereign. Are you trying to obstruct me?"

Recognizing the origin of the sword light, the God Sovereign’s pupils suddenly narrowed, addressing the direction from which the sword light came.

"God Sovereign, I am not obstructing you, but saving you. If you don’t believe me, you can try taking action and see if you can live to reach the Three Realms."

From the other end of the void, the voice of the Jiang Family’s patriarch, Jiang Xuan echoed. There was an elusive quality to it, but it changed the complexion of the God Sovereign when it reached his ears.

Extending his divine sense, the God Sovereign looked at the direction of the Three Realms, only to see, within the boundless void, the shadows of Eminent Human Dao Sovereigns flickering in and out, firmly focused on him.

Just as Jiang Xuan had said, if the God Sovereign dared to take a step forward, what awaited him was the combined assault of more than ten human Dao Sovereigns.

He was not confident of dealing with one Chengtian Dao Sovereign, let alone an additional ten-plus human Dao Sovereigns. If they were to really fight, there was no doubt he would die.

You should know that the Human Race has more than just ten Innate Dao Sovereigns, and the Divine Race only has him as the Innate Dao Sovereign.

"Humph!"

Faced with this huge disparity, the God Sovereign didn’t even dare to utter harsh words. He sneered and slinked away.

"Chengtian, why didn’t you take this opportunity to kill him? A traitor is aware of his treachery, yet he doesn’t tuck his tail and keep a low-profile, instead strutting around our Human Race territories. He truly doesn’t know his place."

After the God Sovereign had left, voices began to echo in the void.

"It doesn’t matter. He’s just a Sovereign with no way forward. He’s not worth our concern. It’s also good to leave him as a challenge for future generations. Jiang Chen’s had it too smooth. Leaving the God Sovereign as his opponent, piling on a bit of pressure is also not a bad thing."

Following these voices, Jiang Xuans’ voice emitted a leisurely echo.

"Using a Sovereign to hone one’s skills, that’s a treatment fit for an Emperor. It seems that our Human Race will have another remarkable person emerging soon." Another Dao Sovereign put forth.

"Oh dear, it’s a pity that Jiang Chen killed so many people from different tribes, and not a single one of them dare to retaliate. It’s really disappointing." In the void, a disappointed sigh was heard.

"Don’t think of the foreign races as fools. They’ve been separated from the Human Race for so many years yet still manage to survive. It’s not because they are strong enough, but because they are wise enough."

"Would they not know that we have been watching them all this time, waiting for a lapse to annihilate them all at once?"

"They know, that’s why they’re becoming more cautious in their actions, carefully avoiding giving us any opportunities."

"Also, do you really think the idea of the plan to allow those foreign people to return to the Human Race, proposed by our ancestral land, was their own idea?"

"A bunch of idiots don’t even know they’re being used. Isn’t it because those foreigners have been watched for too long, they thought that they should return to the Human Race to avoid our surveillance."

"Unfortunately, these foreigners are too greedy. They both want to return to the Human Race and preserve their lofty status. So they use the idiots in our ancestral land to cause this mess."

"These foreigners truly deserve to die!"

"Not forgetting those idiots in our ancestral land who have been used and don’t even know about it. They’re even smug about their ’brilliant’ idea. It’s truly exasperating to see."

"But they will not be able to strut around much longer. When the time is ripe, it will be time to strike their names from the records of the HongHuang Era and to clean out our ancestral land at the same time."

"Just a bunch of traitors actually thinking they can rule the Three Realms, what a joke. If they don’t die, how can we face our deceased friends?"

These Dao Sovereigns, with their constant back and forth, not only disclosed the plotting of the people in their ancestral land but also implied a deeper conspiracy.

Right, in this era where gods and immortals reveal their sanctity, how could the plotting of these people from our ancestral land escape the perception of the top echelons of the Human race? One could say that, if the higher-ups of the Human Race wished it, not a single move of the people from our ancestral land can escape their perception.

The foreign forces sensed the threat from the Human Race’s higher-ups, and thus planned to use some people from our ancestral land to achieve their grand plan of returning to the Human Race.

And the top echelons of the Human Race, upon realizing this, not only did they choose not to expose it, but they also devised an even grander scheme, planning to wipe out all the foreign forces at once.

Jiang Chen’s actions today, though not deliberately instigated by the top echelons of the Human Race, are also part of their plan. After all, even if Jiang Chen didn’t take action, someone else from the Human Race would eventually expose this matter sooner or later.

King Xia, Xia Ji is a pawn that the high ranks of the Human Race planted in the ancestral land. His sole mission is to infuriate the Human Race’s experts and let them spoil the game.

Jiang Chen just happened to come along at the right time.

Before this, the words Xia Ji said when he met Jiang Chen were all intentional, aimed to provoke Jiang Chen.

If not for that, would the magnificent King Xia, the master of an Immortal Dynasty who controls the lives and deaths of billions of beings, be so unwise?

However, these are all schemes of the top echelon of the Human Race which has nothing to do with Jiang Chen. Now, he has more pressing matters at hand.

...

......

After leaving the Summer Capital, Jiang Chen journeyed through the void, following the guidance in his heart he headed towards the ancestral land.

The ancestral land of the Human Race, is at the shore of the Eastern Sea during the Ancient Chaos Era. Back then, during the mid-period of the Ancient Times, Empress Nuwa gained enlightenment on Mount Buzhou, and she created humanity out of clay, filling the vacancies in the human path and thus accomplishing the position of Heavenly Dao Saint.
