Chapter 926: 697 Human King Tao Fruit_2

Boom!

The Demon Clan had declined, but after all, they were the former sovereigns of Heaven and Earth, and their residual fate was still not to be underestimated. After being devoured by the Human Race’s fate, it immediately surged.

As fate surged, the Human Race began to change, with the most obvious change being the sudden surge in the amount of spiritual energy within the Nanbuzhan Continent, the stronghold of the Human Race. Countless spiritual veins were derived, making the spiritual energy in this place increasingly dense.

At the same time, innate spiritual energy began to emerge, flowing out from the void like water and spreading throughout the Nanbuzhan Continent.

In addition, a large number of treasures were derived within the Nanbuzhan Continent, hidden deep in the void, waiting for those with destiny to discover them.

Wherever fate concentrates, even if it is initially a barren land, it will change over time, becoming a top Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

The spiritual energy Between Heaven and Earth is fluid, more accurately, it flows with changes in fate. Wherever the fate is dense, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth will autonomously gather and transform it into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

At the same time, with an abundance of spiritual energy, not only will various treasures be born, but it will also attract all kinds of ownerless treasures.

When fate is favorable, Heaven and Earth unite in strength; when it departs, heroes are powerless. Fate is really too precious, arguably the number one treasure of the Prehistoric World, incomparably mystical, with the ability to defy the heavens and transform destiny.

If this were not the case, even Saints would not descend to fight for it.

The surge in the Human Race’s fate brought many benefits—it was not just the enhancement of spiritual energy and the increase in treasures. There were many more benefits, which had not yet manifested due to the shortness of time.

For instance, after that, all Human Race cultivators would find that their cultivation speed had increased by a point or two when cultivating. They would also feel that cultivation had become easier than before. This was the benefit of enhanced fate, improving the overall perceptiveness of the Human Race.

Even within the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns felt the impact, sensing that they were closer to the Heavenly Dao at this moment.

"There’s something strange going on, could it be that Bai Ze and the others haven’t perished?"

Jiang Chen, who had been closely watching the River of Destiny since the collapse of the Demon Clan’s fate, suddenly furrowed his brows, sensing something was amiss.

The fate of the Demon Clan had not completely dispersed, and part of it did not merge into the fate of the Human Race but instead disappeared into the River of Destiny.

This was normal, after all, the Demon Clan on the Beijulu Continent was only the main body of the Demon Clan and not all of it. Their absence only meant the demise of the Demon Clan, not the extinction of all demons; many of the scattered remnants had escaped this catastrophe.

However, these remnants of the Demon Clan were but stragglers, unable to make any significant impact, and could be disregarded. But Jiang Chen could clearly see that after the collapse of the Demon Clan’s fate, a portion of it disappeared without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.

It disappeared without any signs, and even with Jiang Chen’s strength, he failed to find where this part of the fate went.

"This is the fate of Bai Ze and the other divine demons, could it be that they truly haven’t perished? Otherwise, how could their fate suddenly vanish like this?"

After confirming that the fate indeed belonged to Bai Ze and the other divine demons, Jiang Chen directed a portion of his consciousness towards the Divine Palace of the Cycle.

There, the True Spirits of Bai Ze and the other fifty-one divine demons had already shattered into fragments, devoured by the Divine Palace of the Cycle, which meant they were as dead as could be.

"Bai Ze and the other divine demons schemed for hundreds of thousands of years, and it was not without effect."

Jiang Chen shook his head, guessing what had happened. It was likely that Bai Ze and the other divine demons had anticipated their eventual downfall and thus had prepared in advance, arranging a Resurrection Formation for themselves and their kin.

Just waiting for an accident to happen, they would be able to resurrect themselves immediately with the Resurrection Formation.

Speaking of the Resurrection Formation, essentially every existence above a Taoist Master in the Prehistoric World would prepare one or more for themselves in advance so that they could quickly return should they meet with misfortune in the future.

After all, these days, aside from Saints, who dares to guarantee that they won’t be slain by another? Not even Great Divine Transcendents can make such a guarantee.

"I have been careless, allowing Bai Ze and the other divine demons to find a loophole and thus a chance for survival. However, this Resurrection Formation surely wasn’t prepared by them themselves; otherwise, it would not have escaped my detection."

Jiang Chen shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed. Although he did not take these divine demons seriously, their existence was indeed a calamity for the Human Race.

At the same time, Jiang Chen’s hatred for the ancestor Kunpeng deepened. It must have been he who prepared this Resurrection Formation for those divine demons.

The power of the Cycle Divine Palace was comparable to that of the Great Divine Transcendents. Theoretically, under its attack, all treasures related to the Demon Gods, including the resurrection formations they had purposefully left behind, would perish along with their downfall.

The abilities of the Great Divine Transcendents were beyond imagination; their attacks were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, hitting not only the present but including past and future, erasing all traces and completely severing all possibilities.

Unless there was protection from a high-level expert of the same tier, the resurrection formations of the Demon Gods would also be destroyed at the same time under the attack of the Cycle Divine Palace, with no chance of escape.

The Resurrection Formation, though mysterious, was designed to guard against experts of an equal level. If faced with a stronger enemy, it would essentially be useless. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many fallen Innate Dao Sovereigns from the Prehistoric World.

The fact that Bai Ze and the others had not perished indicated that a Great Divine Transcendent had protected them, and at this time, besides Kunpeng, who else could it be?

...

Boom!

Just as Jiang Chen furrowed his brows in thought, upon the River of Destiny, changes arose anew. The five-colored sacred flame shone brightly, its endless radiance hanging down, intertwining with the laws of Heaven and Earth and gradually giving rise to a mysterious Dao Fruit.

This Dao Fruit was formed from countless symbols, each seemingly expounding the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth, extremely profound, its body entwined with five-colored auspicious light, as if it were the crystallization of Heaven and Earth, the essence of myriad paths.

At the same time, the brilliance of the Human Path burst forth, blending with the Dao Fruit, causing the semblance of myriad spirits to gradually emerge upon it.

"King!"

"King!"

"King!"

The myriad spirits vocally extolled, continuously calling out the word "King," as if praising the greatest king of the world, with the aura of kingly authority spreading out, lending an additional measure of dominance to the Dao Fruit.

This was the Dao Fruit of the Human King!

Jiang Chen had contributed significantly to defeating the Demon Clan, a feat unmatched in this era. Following the Human Race’s absorption of the fate of the Demon Clan, an immediate response emerged, beginning to reward Jiang Chen in recognition of his merits.

The Dao Fruit of the Human King coalescing for Jiang Chen was the reward granted by the fate of the Human Race to Jiang Chen.

In the River of Destiny, the Dao Fruit of the Human King became increasingly solid, its five-colored radiance growing ever more dazzling. Its splendid light extended outward, breaking through the constraints of space and descending into reality.

In that moment, whether the Human Race of the Three Realms or those far across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, merely by looking up, they could see a five-colored sun suddenly appearing in the sky. Though brilliant, it was not harsh on the eyes; on the contrary, it bestowed a heartening power.

Some wept, unaware of what had happened, yet feeling their souls touched, they couldn’t help shedding tears.

These were tears of excitement, as if the presence of this sun could dispel all their suffering and oppression.

At the same time, in everyone’s ears, resounded sonorous cries, as if millions of people were shouting a single word in unison, "King!"

King?

Some were intrigued, others were thrilled, realizing what was happening.

An echoing fate, the Human Path manifesting, billions crying out—these were the signs of the imminent birth of a Human King!

After tens of thousands of years, was the Human Race about to witness the birth of a new king?

"King!"

The ancient members of the Human Race shouted, tears welling in their eyes. They had waited too long for this moment. The Human Race had waited too long for this moment.

In this era of the Human Race’s dignity’s gradual decline, there was an urgent need for the birth of a new Human King to inspire the hearts of the people and lead the Human Race back to splendor.

ps: Tomorrow there will be no update, but the day after tomorrow, there will be an update of twenty-five thousand words!
