Chapter 1887: Arrival of the Elder!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Fang Chengzhi felt his head go dizzy when he heard the description of ‘son of destiny’. Still, the stubborn suspicions in his heart made him feel that his father was merely exaggerating. The truth could not be so unbelievable.

He who knew a man best was his father. Leader Fang did not need to turn around to know what his son was thinking. He sneered, “In terms of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and unparalleled arts, Elder Scorching Sun boasts the techniques and legacy treasures from dozens of ancient masters of the ‘Saint Fire Dynasty’.

“In terms of magical equipment and weapons, he has a whole arsenal, plus the broken fragments of tremendous primeval magical equipment.

“In terms of personal strength, he is one of the most unparalleled experts in the world. Even when the Three Saints, Four Rapscallions, and Master Spiritual Vulture were still here, they might not have been strong enough to compete with him. Not to mention that all the experts of the old days are either missing or dead. Elder Scorching Sun is the only unchallenged champion right now!

“After he broke out of seclusion, he crushed a few well-known experts in a row and soon gained his reputation. The unaffiliated Cultivators in the world all joined him. In only a couple of years, those Cultivators have made significant progress in their Cultivation while being nurtured by his marvelous medicine and armed with primeval weapons!

“Not only does the Red Sun Sect have more than ten Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who are armed by the fragments of primeval treasures have a shockingly high combat ability. It is not difficult at all for a Cultivator of the Red Sun Sect to fight three Cultivators of the same level in other sects. Even the six major sects did not have such dominance in their prime years!

“In terms of troops, you saw them with your own eyes on our way here. Elder Scorching Sun has polished the soldiers with the Angry Fire Sacred Water below the earth and trained them with the advanced fighting techniques from the Saint Fire Dynasty. All the ordinary soldiers have been trained into bloodthirsty, resolute, and vicious warriors. Of every five soldiers, one can reach the level of ‘inborn warrior’. While those people can work as a centurion in other troops, they can only work as tiny captains here. Also, the number of soldiers in this terrifying army has almost reached a million!

“Both the most elite royal army of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Ghost Qin Wolf Raiders on the Dark Cloud Prairies are unable to compete with the Angry Fire Army. Right now, Elder Scorching Sun has already occupied the heartland of the central plateau. From this place to the west and to the south, nobody knows the court or the Dark Cloud Prairies but only recognizes the flag of angry fire of Elder Scorching Sun!

“Tell me, what is destiny and the unstoppable wheel of fate if not this?

“Today, after the Rising Sun Ceremony, the Angry Fire Army and the Red Sun Sect will embark on their expedition to sweep across the world. The six major sects, the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Dark Cloud Prairies are all the targets of their conquest. The six major sects are obstinate enough to fight Elder Scorching Sun to the end.

“The Green Cloud Sword Sect is an offshoot of the Purple Pole Sword Sect. Because of the critical relation, if we did not come here in a hurry to pledge our loyalty, we would certainly die together with the Purple Pole Sword Sect. Our hundred years of enterprise would vanish. The two of us as well as every other member in our family old and young would be obliterated!

“I spent days and nights considering how to preserve our tiny Green Cloud Sword Sect in front of the overwhelming dominance of Elder Scorching Sun, but you, little brat, are cocky enough in your ignorance!”

After being lambasted by his father, Fang Chengzhi felt that his stubbornness got the better of him. He argued, too, telepathically, not entirely convinced, “Although Elder Scorching Sun is tough, the six major sects, the court of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Dark Cloud Prairies will not be so easy to deal with. As the saying goes, even a broken ship has some nails that are still useful. Even if those forces lack leaders, will they just wait to be killed?

“What are they doing right now if not waiting to be killed?” Leader Fang scoffed. “Ever since the top ten experts of the Ancient Sages Sector went missing mysteriously three years ago, the six major sects, the Great Qian Dynasty, the Dark Cloud Prairies, and the rebel forces such as the White Lotus Cult and the Heaven Battering Army have all been resting their banners and holding their positions without making any moves. They have not extended a single finger to the outside world in the past three years.

“Even when Elder Scorching Sun rose abruptly and expanded on a large scale, even sh*tting on their heads lawlessly, they simply turned a blind eye to it and swallowed all the humiliation. Do they still have the dominance of the old days?

“If they were not really incapable, how could they have allowed Elder Scorching Sun to go on a rampage blatantly?

“The relationship between the Green Cloud Sword Sect and the Purple Pole Sword Sect is highly unusual. By pulling some strings, I learned the unquestionable information that a world-shaking battle did break out in the depths of the Land of Eternal Night three years ago. Not only were the top ten experts of the Ancient Sages Sector involved, even the thousands of high-level Cultivators under their lead also participated in the battle. It is said that blood was flowing like rivers after the battle!

“After the battle, the forces all suffered great casualties. Also, because their leaders went missing uncannily, they were all unable to thrive again.

“Before they slowly recovered, Elder Scorching Sun distinguished himself under the calling of fate and swallowed all their good fortune. Tremendous resources, land, folks, experts, and vassal sects took Elder Scorching Sun’s side. Tell me, how can the old forces expect to rise again?

“All in all, one of them is rising, and the other is setting. Elder Scorching Sun is now glowing exactly like the sun in the middle of a day, whereas the Great Qian Dynasty, the Dark Cloud Prairies, the six major sects, the White Lotus Cult, the Heaven Battering Army, and the other forces are dry bones in the grave waiting to decay!

“Even if we do not intend to be great contributors to the new monarch’s cause, there is no reason we should be bound to the dry bones and die together with them!”

Fang Chengzhi was somewhat convinced by his father. He stammered, “But I was told that the ten experts did not go missing or perish with each other. They joined hands to search for the deities’ realm!

“Didn’t they leave a ‘Divine Wrath Order’ before they left, claiming that they would return with marvelous treasures or even divine soldiers of the deities’ realm in a year and a half, and asked all Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector to behave and not start any wars?Read more chapter on NovelFull

“Whoever disobeys the ‘Divine Wrath Order’ and raises a war while they are away will be punished and suppressed in the most ruthless way on the day of their return!”

“What ‘Divine Wrath Order’? It was just a pretentious move,” Leader Fang sneered. “Countless unparalleled experts of the Ancient Sages Sector have set off to search for the deities’ realm in the past hundred thousand years. Did any of them ever come back? Even the experts who were well above the Divinity Transformation Stage lost their lives in the boundless darkness. The Three Saints and the Four Rapscallions were merely at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and had not even touched the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Stage yet, yet they were bold enough to search for the deities’ realm? How ridiculous!

“You said it yourself—they announced that they would return in a year and a half in the ‘Divine Wrath Order’. It’s already been three years. Where are the marvelous treasures and the divine soldiers from the deities’ realm?

“The way I see it, the whole issue couldn’t be simpler. It’s true that the ten experts discovered some secret treasures deep inside the Land of Eternal Night and that they fought each other for the treasures. But then, as they were so deeply mired in the battle, and also possibly because of the defense rune arrays from the primeval age, the top ten experts were killed at the same time.

“Their disciples and subordinates knew that the world would be in chaos if news got out, and those forces that were once dominating would end up as meat on a chopping block! Therefore, the forces that were hostile to each other before secretly reached a pact and made up the ridiculous lie that their leaders had gone out to search for the deities’ realm. It was only a strategy to buy them a few years of time so that they could slowly recover.

“Hehe. It’s a pity that things never go as planned. It never occurred to them that an unstoppable man like Elder Scorching Sun would show up. Naturally, their lie could not be sustained any longer!”

His father’s analysis was reasonable and flawless. Even Fang Chengzhi, who had always been proud of himself, was fully convinced. “Father, you do have a point. That seems to be what happened!”

“I have travelled in the world of Cultivators for almost a hundred years. What kind of extraordinary incidents have I not come across? How can such absurd tricks deceive me?” Leader Fang sneered. He suddenly changed his face color and flapped his sleeves, saying in a low voice, “Quiet! Elder is here!”

The praises in all directions lowered at some point, replaced by enchantments that were even more agitating. It did not sound like it came from throats but felt like the violent spiritual energy contained in the infinite earthly fire was burning the air in the thousand square kilometers around!

“The million soldiers of the Angry Fire Army, the thirty thousand disciples of the Red Sun Sect, and the hundred thousand Cultivators from three thousand sects in the world, greet the magnificent Elder…”

Accompanied by the sounds that seemed to be blown out of bullhorns, ‘Green Willow’ Fang Chengzhi saw thousands of colorful fireballs slowly rising!

After the fireballs flew into the air, they occupied the entire sky like a well-organized army.

The distance among the fireballs was absolutely the same, turning the sky into an enormous chess board.

Pa!

All the fireballs exploded at the same time, turning into hideous, vivid beasts.

Among the thousands of beasts made of fireballs, there were wolves, tigers, leopards, lions, and all other creatures. They were raging and emanating shocking spiritual energy above the valley. But no two fiery beasts were the same. Each of them had their unique posture and movements as if they were alive.

A lot of the less capable Cultivators in the valley found it hard to catch their breath under the pressure. They were also sweating hard because of the heat and could not have looked more devastated!

The thousands of fireballs radiated and gradually moved to the clouds at the highest sky, and the overlapping clouds seemed to be under Elder Scorching Sun’s command, too. After a series of splendid changes, they condensed into a grand image that blocked the sun and the sky, one daunting giant that was sitting cross-legged in furious flames!
