Chapter 1470 - 1425 Threat from Middle-earth, Covenant of the Four Holy Sons!

Chapter 1470: Chapter 1425 Threat from Middle-earth, Covenant of the Four Holy Sons!

Accompanied by the residual thoughts of the Earth Spirit Clan, the thought world constructed by Saint Child of Mastery began to tremble. The collective will of a race, converged from countless clan members, is immensely difficult to refine completely.

Obviously, when Saint Child of Mastery spoke of refining the thoughts of a race, he referred to the Earth Spirit Clan.

Looking towards Xiao Chen, the Taihao Saint Child and Purple Dragon Saint Child saw a glint in their eyes. No wonder he dared to battle Saint Child of Mastery alone, having detected early that although Saint Child of Mastery’s Undying Martial Soul reached the brink of immortality, he still hadn’t fully refined the residual thoughts!

Even a single residual thought, seemingly insignificant, could lead to catastrophic consequences during a real battle—losing by a hair could be as bad as missing by a mile, causing a warrior’s complete collapse.

As now, powerful as Saint Child of Mastery was, his body showed a Concealed Risk, and his magnificent thought world was still difficult to sustain. Saying he was defeated by Xiao Chen’s hand is less accurate than saying he was defeated by his own hand.

"The race is annihilated, how dare the remnants be rampant!"

Immediately, a grand roar resounded around the trio, as the spacious Beast Robe rustled vigorously. Saint Child of Mastery’s eyes opened and closed, emitting divine light, sweeping across the Heaven and Earth and the Starry Sky.

At this moment, a more overbearing and unrestrained aura emerged from him, originating from a deep-seated belligerence and murderous intent in his soul.

Instantly, in the eyes of Xiao Chen and the others, the thought world transformed again. The starry sky above destroyed by Xiao Chen reversed and transformed into a flaming vortex, a domineering power engulfing all under an all-encompassing flame, swallowing all the residual thoughts of the Earth Spirit Clan.

"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"

In the whole thought world, sounds as if a demon god’s heart was beating echoed. It was like Heavenly Thunder exploding, and like Mountains and Rivers being annihilated, with Saint Child of Mastery resembling a devil god, his body exuding a terrifying aura, ceaselessly merging into the flame vortex above.

"What a tyrannical devouring! Bone Sect truly deserves its reputation as an ancient power, possessing such a method to devour thoughts and completely eradicate them, leaving only the residual pure thought power!"

"Devouring the thoughts of a race is equivalent to directly destroying a race. A race’s power is too vast. Even for a small clan, refining the collective will does not equate to extermination, and even for an emperor, it is somewhat forceful. Truly a madman!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s thoughts continually swept the surroundings, sensing the aura of Saint Child of Mastery. The recent battle, if indeed a victory had to be declared, it would merely be a draw. He had sensed the Concealed Risk within Saint Child of Mastery’s Undying Martial Soul and triggered it, shattering Saint Child of Mastery’s attack.

And his attack also merely stopped there.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the aura above the Vault of Heaven changed again. Within the twisting flame vortex, viciously thought images turned to Ashes, as vast amounts of Soul Power fell like waterfalls, threatening to drown everything.

Hum!

Suddenly, Saint Child of Mastery awoke again, his eyes splashing out two terrifying divine lights, like two burning suns, bursting with fierce true flames revolving, instantly piercing the Void towards the vortex above the Sky Vault.

Boom!

As the suns entered the flames, a roaring sound arose, and in Xiao Chen’s perception, the entire thought world shook as if it were about to shatter, with web-like fractures traversing the entire Heaven and Earth.

However, this all happened quickly and ended just as fast. In a moment of disorientation, sudden thunder exploded, and by the time consciousness returned, the thought world had transformed into a calm mountains and rivers landscape, with the skies clear for thousands of miles.

Clearly, Saint Child of Mastery had temporarily suppressed the rebellious residual thoughts within his Undying Martial Soul.

At this moment, no one made a move again. Saint Child of Mastery stepped down from mid-air, looking towards Xiao Chen.

"I have integrated the Dao and laws of the Emperor of the Star Clan and absorbed the complete will of a race. I did not expect you to spot the Concealed Risk; it seems I underestimated the people of this world."

However, Xiao Chen simply smiled lightly without speaking. He could feel the surging Fighting Will within the robust figure before him, but he wasn’t prepared to engage in another battle now, as he had yet to attain the power to dominate the All Heavens!

Don’t forget, the three before him are merely the Saint Children of the Eastern Wasteland; in the Human Realm, there lie the Five Directions, and even the legendary Central Lands, where Saint Children have entered the mysterious Chaos Ancient Land to begin breaking through the Imperial Dao. Thus, Emperors are nothing to them!

Even for the Taihao Saint Child and Purple Dragon Saint Child, entering the realm of Emperors is not a difficult feat. This is the destiny of a Human Saint Child.

For the four figures present, the battle of the Saint Children has just begun!

In the many epochs past, the competition among the Human Saint Children was not only significant for the Human World, but it was also a major event across the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms. Each battle of the Saint Children was a time when the All Heavens trembled and bled.

The Saint Children needed to prove themselves to the Human Realm in all five directions, and aside from combat strength, the bones and blood of other races were the best testament.

"Gentlemen, I’ve received news that the Saint Child of the Central Human Realm wishes to emulate the precursors and relive the events of the seventy-second epoch!"

Having converged his surging aura, Saint Child of Mastery descended and spoke calmly.

Seventy-second epoch!

Immediately, a glint burst in the eyes of the others, then their expressions darkened and turned grim.

In the seventy-second epoch before, all Human Emperors across the five directions were from the Central Lands.

In that epoch, the Central Human Realm’s Martial Arts flourished spectacularly, five Saint Children emerged, striking across the Saint Children of the four directions, ultimately seizing the imperial thrones of the five directions.

Reliving the prosperity of the seventy-second epoch means they intend to eradicate them all!

The Central Human Realm is the strongest stronghold of the Human race, with unimaginably ancient forces and long-hereditary great clans abounding; the Saint Children from there, even if they don’t ascend to the imperial throne, will still be formidable powers shaking the All Heavens!

Soon, several people reacted, all standing at the peak of All Heavens as Strong Ones, their state of mind naturally had no issues, even if the strength of the Human Realm was formidable, it still needed to be proven in battle.

"No wonder Brother Tuo has pulled us into the world he constructed!" said Purple Dragon Saint Child.

"Since Brother Tuo has pulled us into your world of thought, surely you must have a perfect strategy?" Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke.

However, Tuo Saint Child shifted the topic and said: "Ten years ago, I had already exchanged blows with Qingqiu Yuyi from the Central Plains!"

What!

Qingqiu Yuyi, the Human Saint Child from the Central Plains, hailing from Qingqiu Emperor Clan, six generations ago, his clan had an emperor who followed the monarch to conquer the Hundred Realms. This generation, the Empyrean Blood within him has returned to its ancestral strength, bursting forth into existence!

"How did the battle go?"

Immediately, the gaze of Xiao Chen and the other two focused on Tuo Saint Child.

"Defeated in one move!"

What!

Tuo Saint Child actually lost!

Undoubtedly, among the four great Saint Children of Eastern Wasteland, Tuo Saint Child was currently the strongest. However, he too had lost!

Could it be that the strength of the Saint Child from the Human Realm is so formidable that it’s hard to predict?

"This generation’s strongest Saint Child from the Central Plains, Fuyu Cang, has already begun cracking the Emperor Dao. Even if he hasn’t breached through, at least he’s stepped into the pseudo-emperor realm, and his combat power is absolutely beyond imagination."

Although a pseudo-emperor has not yet ascended to emperor, he is already at a different level from an emperor.

You should know even a slight enlightenment within the realm of an emperor can cause a heaven-and-earth difference in combat power; just like the confrontation between Xiao Chen and Purple Dragon Saint Child, even if Purple Dragon Saint Child elevated his combat power to the realm of an emperor through secret methods, he still lost.

"Besides this, by the end of this era, a grand world has arrived. The Martial Arts of the Central Plains Earth seems to have accumulated over a dozen eras’ worth of fortune and suddenly erupted, numerous previously unheard-of Strong Ones have appeared. The Human Emperor has also decreed to elevate five Strong Ones to Human Saint Children!"

Saying this, Tuo Saint Child paused before continuing: "This means there are now seven Human Saint Children in the Central Plains Earth, even adding up all from the Human World, there are only five emperor positions."

"The Human Realm wants to repeat the events of the seventy-two eras, combat is inevitable!"

"That’s why Brother Tuo pulled us into the world of thoughts, just for this matter?"

"Exactly, the appetite of the Saint Children from the Central Plains is too great, wanting to occupy all the five Human Emperor positions. Let’s see if they really have such an appetite. Internally stabilizing is necessary before dealing with external threats, hence we need to put aside our differences and unite!"

As Tuo Saint Child’s voice fell, the three didn’t respond, but he was not in a hurry, waiting for Xiao Chen and the others to decide.

The intent in Tuo Saint Child’s words was clear: to unite against the Saint Children of the Central Plains. The four of them would no longer be opposing each other, as battles like those between Xiao Chen and Purple Dragon Saint Child, would surely result in injuries on one side or even both, thereby delaying cultivation time!

And in battles among Saint Children, as long as it’s not the same person fighting continuously, the other Saint Children wouldn’t care if you got injured. This is the best opportunity to plunder the auspicious dragon fortune of a Saint Child.

A single dragon fortune might not count for much, but five or ten of them could completely drain the dragon’s fortune, by then, forget about competing for the Human Emperor position, as losing the dragon fortune means losing the qualification.

Once heavily wounded, the other Saint Children will swarm like sharks smelling blood, rushing crazily till they have completely plundered the dragon fortune!

"Alright, I agree!"

Soon, Xiao Chen spoke, as he currently did not possess the absolute power to suppress the strong from the Central Plains.

"Agreed!" "Good!"

Following that, Taihao Saint Child and Purple Dragon Saint Child also agreed. The pressure from the people of Central Plains was indeed too great for them!

"Since it’s agreed, let’s make a vow here to repel the invasion of the Central Plains Saint Child and seize the Human Emperor position!"

The four great Saint Children of Eastern Wasteland thus made their covenant in this world of thoughts, unseen by others.

...

In the outside world, the four people including Xiao Chen were suspended in mid-air, motionless. Yet, no warrior dared to approach within a hundred miles of them, as the vast Soul Power brought too great a shock to them!

Buzz!

Suddenly, a startling divine light burst forth among the four, instantly causing the heaven and earth to lose color, as the savage power swept across the surroundings.

Almost simultaneously, the four opened their eyes, their vast divine light sweeping across the vast void like a Divine Sword, immediately causing heavenly thunders to explode, and dazzling divine light illuminated the Vault of Heaven.

"Who won, what was the outcome of the great battle?"

The awakening of the four stirred the Minds of the surrounding warriors, as the battle of the Saint Children was for the competition for the Human Emperor position.
