Su Zimo knew that Nian Qi had made up her mind.
No matter how he tried to stop her, he could not change her decision.
Tianhuang Mainland was filled with internal strife and external troubles with impending calamity.
More than that, he could not leave and follow Nian Qi to God’s Mainland—the only thing he could do was make a promise to her!
Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness moved and a gigantic sword not far away suddenly flew into his hands. It was one of the four divine weapons of the God race, the Sword of Misfortune.
Swoosh!
He flipped his hand and threw the Sword of Misfortune towards Nian Qi.
Nian Qi received it instinctively.
The gigantic sword was extremely heavy. Even with Nian Qi’s divine power, her entire body sank slightly after she gripped the hilt.
The Sword of Misfortune did not budge at all in Su Zimo’s palm. However, in the palms of Nian Qi, the dark and cold aura began to emanate once more!
“Young Master, this…”
Nian Qi was puzzled.
“Take that sword and head to God’s Mainland,”
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, “That sword is useless in my hands. Only the bloodline of the God race can activate its power.”
Nian Qi pursed her lips without saying anything.
She knew that the reason he gave was merely superficial.
Even if Su Zimo could not activate the power of the Sword of Misfortune, it was still a rare divine weapon.
The reason why Su Zimo asked her to bring the Sword of Misfortune to God’s Mainland was because it was a form of insurance for her.
The two armies as well as many Dragon Riders of the God race that entered Tianhuang Mainland were annihilated, leaving no survivors.
Even their divine weapon was lost in Tianhuang Mainland!
Although Nian Qi was a remnant of the God race and had an impure bloodline, it would definitely be a meritorious deed for her if she brought the Sword of Misfortune back!
The attitude of God’s Mainland towards her would change as well.
At the very least, her life would not be in danger!
That was Su Zimo’s true intention.
“Thank you, young master,”
Nian Qi held the Sword of Misfortune with both hands and bowed in Su Zimo’s direction. Thereafter, she turned and leaped into the rainbow cave, vanishing from sight.
Su Zimo looked in that direction and remained silent for a long time.
“Sigh,”
Extreme Fire sighed and lamented, “Actually, there’s no need for that lass to do that. She’s way too sensitive internally.”
“Let her be,”
Su Zimo said softly.
Although he sounded carefree, he could not help but feel worried and disappointed at the thought that Nian Qi might not survive this trip and her future was uncertain.
“First, let’s go,”
Night Spirit said.
Su Zimo nodded and instructed, “Arrange for some men to watch over the God Slaying Valley. If the God race has any strange movements, we can know right away.”
Actually, there was a high chance that things with the God race would be peaceful for a period of time after they experienced this crushing defeat.
However, it was better to make preparations in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Although Su Zimo had already removed the Killing Badge on his body, he was in no hurry to return to Tianhuang Mainland. Instead, he stayed in the Kunlun Ruins temporarily and continued cultivating.
The Kunlun Ruins had been stabilized and Night Spirit had become the new Kunlun Lord.
There was nowhere safer and more suitable for cultivation than here.
He had benefited way too much in this battle!
The transformation of the Green Lotus True Body, the perception of divine powers and the visual technique in the Nether Glow Stone required a long time to consolidate.
Extreme Fire stayed in the Kunlun Ruins as well.
…
Spring came and autumn passed; time passed by quickly.
Time seemed to pass faster during seclusion cultivation. In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo had entered the Kunlun Ruins for a hundred years!
80 years ago, the God race invaded the Kunlun Ruins and a huge battle broke out.
However, in the past 80 years, the internal strife in the Kunlun Ruins was resolved. Many Kunlun clansmen recuperated and became extremely peaceful while there was no longer any activity from the rainbow cave.
However, Tianhuang Mainland was in chaos!
For the past hundred years, the activity of the primordial races increased.
Among the Primordial Nine Races, apart from the Dragon, Kun and Barbarian races, the other Primordial Six Races walked out of the various forbidden grounds and expanded their territories wildly!
For the past hundred years, countless sects and factions had been destroyed by the primordial races!
Among them, 37 of the 108 Upper Sects were destroyed.
That number was still increasing slowly!
In such chaos, there were even more living beings that died in the four regions, three oceans and one continent.
The East Sea was dyed red for the longest time!
The Primordial Six Races, the Witch, Blood Vine, God, Golden Crow, Rakshasa and Heavenly Eye races, led by their young masters, attacked the sects and occupied territories. Everywhere they passed, a blood storm would break out!
The combat strength of the primordial races was terrifying.
Almost all the young masters had already cultivated to the Half-Martial Ancestor realm. Unless a Patriarch appeared, no one could suppress the experts of the primordial races!
As the primordial races did not bother the super sects of the cultivation world, major sects and factions such as the nine immortal sects, seven fiend sects and six Buddhist monasteries remained silent for a hundred years.
There was a mysterious balance between the super sects and the Primordial Six Races.
However, all the cultivators knew that such a situation would not last long!
Finally,
That balance was broken heartlessly after a massive battle in the South Region!
The forbidden ground of the Blood Vine race was in the South Region and their territory was expanding continuously—it was inevitable that a huge battle would break out between them and Clear Wind Temple, one of the nine immortal sects!
A hundred years ago, Teng Lingzi was killed by Su Zimo.
The Blood Vine race had long chosen a new young master.
Under the lead of the young master of the Blood Vine race, the Blood Vine army attacked Clear Wind Temple and the battle lasted for an entire day. Countless cultivators of Clear Wind Temple died and were devoured by the Blood Vine race.
Finally, Patriarchs of Clear Wind Temple arrived.
However, because of that, a Patriarch of the Blood Vine race was alarmed!
A single Patriarch of the Blood Vine race killed more than ten Patriarchs of Clear Wind Temple without exception!
The battle escalated!
The Emperor of Clear Wind Temple appeared and killed the Patriarch of the Blood Vine race!
However, later on, the Blood Emperor of the Blood Vine race descended and killed the Emperor of Clear Wind Temple on the sect’s mountain peak within three rounds!
In the end, the Mystic Emperor was the one who stood out and fought against the Blood Emperor. It was a stalemate and the former managed to forcibly rescue some cultivators of Clear Wind Temple to retreat to Enigma Palace.
However, after that battle, Clear Wind Temple, one of the nine immortal sects, was destroyed as well.
After that battle, the Blood Vine even made threats.
If human Emperors dared to show their faces again to interfere in the fights on Tianhuang Mainland, the Blood Emperor would appear and kill them all!
It was a blatant threat.
Furthermore, it threatened all the Emperors of the human race!
The cultivation world remained silent.
No Emperor replied.
None of the Emperors were confident when the Emperor of Clear Wind Temple died in less than three rounds against the Blood Emperor.
What was even more frightening was that many Emperors knew that the Blood Emperor was the weakest Emperor among the Emperors of the Primordial Six Races in this generation!
Furthermore, the Blood Vine race had more than one Emperor!
Before long.
The Golden Crow race stepped foot into the East Region.
One of the six Buddhist monasteries of the East Region, Clear Heart Nunnery, was the first to be destroyed!
In that battle, none of the Mahayana Patriarchs of Clear Heart Nunnery appeared.
That was because the Mahayana Patriarchs of Clear Heart Nunnery knew that even if they appeared, they could not save Clear Heart Nunnery from its destruction.
If they appeared, they would die just like the Patriarchs of Clear Wind Temple!
The advanced ancient battlefield was a world of its own and the primordial races could not enter.
At the very least, they were safe as long as they stayed within the advanced ancient battlefield.
In just half a day, Clear Heart Nunnery was reduced to ruins!
It was already too late by the time Patriarchs of Enigma Palace arrived!
