This time round, even True Jade’s expression changed.
She was only at the mid-stage Mahayana realm and had yet to comprehend any greater divine powers.
She could not even defend against some of the late-stage Mahayanas at the back, let alone the three experts on the Divine Power Ranking at the front.
The strongest experts of Tianhuang Mainland were still drawn to this Ten Thousand Race Meet in the end!
‘These Mahayana Patriarchs were usually in seclusion in the ancient battlefield comprehending divine powers. Unless their sects were met with a calamity, they would not appear in Tianhuang Mainland.
To think that more than a hundred of them would arrive together today!
Yin Lan frowned as well.
Although she was from the Kun race, she was only an early-stage Mahayana and did not have much of a chance of winning against late-stage human Mahayanas.
“Fellow Daoists!”
Patriarch Wu Hua cupped his fists towards the hundred-odd Mahayana Patriarchs on the other end and said in a deep voice, “Even if we kill Desolate Martial, the Primordial Six Races won’t negotiate with us! Desolate Martial isn’t the only reason for today’s matter!”
Suddenly, Patriarch Wu Tian said, “However, if you want to negotiate, you have to let our Primordial Six Races see the sincerity of the human race. If you can’t even bear to kill a Half-Martial Ancestor Desolate Martial, where’s the sincerity of the human race?”
“Did you hear that?”
Matriarch Yue Luo caressed the kitten in her embrace and said indifferently, “There’s a chance for us to sit down and negotiate with the Primordial Six Races after killing Desolate Martial.”
“However, you won’t even get that chance if you don’t kill Desolate Martial!”
Patriarch Xu Jing said, “Since Desolate Martial has the guts to impart martial arts to all living beings, there’s nothing wrong with him sacrificing himself to fulfill the wishes of the human race.”
“That’s right,”
Patriarch Fei Duan nodded as well. “Killing Desolate Martial alone will prevent us from killing one another and might even prevent us from fighting the Primordial Six Races. What’s there to hesitate about?”
Although those words were nauseating, those three Patriarchs were completely indifferent and spoke as though it was only logical.
“Bullshit!”
Patriarch Wu Hua sneered, “To think that the three of you who are human Patriarchs who are even ranked on the Divine Power Ranking can spout such shameless words!”
“What’s the delay for? Hurry and kill Desolate Martial!”
Demon Ancestor Zhu Fa of Thousand Spider Sand Dune sneered.
“That’s right!”
Demon Ancestor Kong Ling nodded slightly as well. “The Thousand Demon Meet is a rare opportunity! We can’t let a single person ruin this grand event!”
The other Demon Ancestors expressed their stance as well.
Apart from the Wild Lion Ridge’s Demon Ancestor Wild Heaven who said nothing, the other demon Ancestors of the eight demon regions agreed to kill Desolate Martial!
Right then, the Heavenly Dipper Wind that surged above the nine heavens above the Creation Green Lotus dissipated.
Su Zimo healed the wounds in his body rapidly and his trembling body gradually calmed down.
As the many Patriarchs conversed, Su Zimo had already passed the first tribulation of the three calamities of Daoism!
After the wind tribulation was the fire tribulation!
If he could not tide through the wind tribulation, there was a chance he could survive.
However, if he failed the fire tribulation, he would be burned into ashes without a corpse left!
It was no ordinary fire, but the Malevolent Earth Fire. Born from beneath one’s feet, it shot through their glabellas and penetrated their entire bodies, burning their organs, meridians, limbs and orifices—it was the most dangerous!
Swoosh!
The Malevolent Earth Fire surged and burst forth from Su Zimo’s body. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed his entire body and burned furiously!
Right then, Su Zimo slapped his storage bag and took out a black but exquisite fruit.
“Ah! That seems to be…”
“Malevolent Spirit Fruit!”
All the living beings of the ten thousand races watched this scene and exclaimed when they saw the fruit.
For Half-Martial Ancestor experts, the Malevolent Spirit Fruit was way too attractive—it was practically a supreme treasure!
That was because in the second stage of the Divine Power Tribulation, the Malevolent Earth Fire Tribulation, consuming a Malevolent Spirit Fruit would increase the chances of Tribulation Transcendence by at least 30%!
For ordinary cultivators, the Malevolent Spirit Fruit was completely useless and was merely a poisonous fruit.
However, consuming it during the Tribulation Transcendence would neutralize the Malevolent Earth Fire in one’s body—it was extremely mysterious!
Be it humans or demons, any Half-Martial Ancestor expert would be envious.
However, the moment they recognized the Malevolent Spirit Fruit, it was devoured by Su Zimo!
“Sigh!”
The living beings of the ten thousand races sighed internally.
‘When they saw that, Patriarch Shen Yu and the others frowned slightly with impatient expressions.
“What are you guys waiting for instead of killing Desolate Martial?!”
Patriarch Shen Yu glared at Matriarch Yue Luo of Heavenly Dipper Sect and hollered.
Although Matriarch Yue Luo’s cultivation and combat strength were stronger than Patriarch Shen Yu, at that moment, she lowered her head and acknowledged softly, not daring to refute.
“Wu Hua!”
Matriarch Yue Luo said coldly, “Don’t blame us for attacking if you guys refuse to move still!”
“How dare you!”
Patriarch Wu Hua hollered with widened eyes, “Enigma Palace has top-tier Ancestor realm experts as well! If you dare to attack, Enigma Palace won’t be helpless either!”
“Eufu, seems like you haven’t figured out the situation yet,”
Patriarch Xu Jing sneered, “Even the power of Enigma Palace’s support won’t be able to protect him today! Desolate Martial will definitely die today!”
Patriarch Fei Duan had a menacing expression and waved his hand with a ferocious gaze. “Kill!”
“Who dares to kill me!”
Right then, a loud roar sounded from the distant skies, shaking the nine heavens and shocking the world!
“Roar!”
A deafening roar sounded, resembling a dragon’s roar and a phoenix’s cry. It was unparalleled and penetrated metal and rocks, shaking the entire world!
When the roar sounded, the living beings of the ten thousand races felt a sense of trepidation and looked over instinctively.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Aseries of dull sounds could be heard. Each time it sounded, the ground would quake and countless gravel would bounce from the ground!
On the distant horizon, gigantic figures appeared with bare upper bodies. Their auras were terrifying and majestic, resembling unshakable mountains!
Those tall living beings were striding towards Enigma Palace!
Asingle stride could cross an entire mountain range!
It was one of the Primordial Nine Races, the Barbarian race!
Goddess Xiaoxiang of the God race stood up with a delighted expression and clenched her fists. “It’s my Firmament Sovereign! He brought the Barbarian race with him to the Ten Thousand Race Meet!”
“Oh?”
The Seventh Prince, Savage Eye, Young Master Arcane Ghost, Rakshasa Yu and the others turned to look.
Goddess Xiaoxiang said proudly, “The reason why the Firmament Sovereign did not come with me was because he had a heavy responsibility to head to the Barbarian race and persuade them to join forces with us!”
“Now that the Barbarian race has appeared, it means that he succeeded!”
“Amazing!”
“Impressive!”
The Seventh Prince, Young Master Arcane Ghost and the others cupped their fists and praised.
“But, what was that dragon roar earlier on?”
Rakshasa Yu frowned slightly and asked.
“Roar!”
Right then, another series of high-pitched dragon roars sounded from behind the tall figures of the Barbarian race!
One after another, gigantic divine dragons soared through the clouds. There were hundreds of them spiraling above the Barbarian race and speeding towards Enigma Palace!
Their leader was a scarlet Illumination Dragon.
On the Illumination Dragon’s neck sat a man with scarlet hair that burned like flames and a blazing gaze. He had a torrential aura and looked down at everyone, emitting a scorching might!
He looked exactly the same as Su Zimo!
The Dragon Phoenix True Body had arrived at Enigma Palace!
