Chapter 1479 - The Land of Eternal Light

Chapter 1479: The Land of Eternal Light
Within the Purple Star ruins outside of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
This was once the core region of the Purple Star Civilization and the most dazzling place on the entire Tai Chu Continent, but it had since been cursed by heaven and earth and reduced to a land of death and destitution.
No one dared to set foot upon this place. Even Return to Void Stage mighty figures could easily perish here if they weren’t careful.
However, amid all the rubble and despair, there was a place from which a pure white light emanated. Countless statues of ancient, ferocious beasts were lined up in two rows there.
At the end of the rows of statues was a pristine, white palace that had a holy and flawless appearance. The only thing out of place was that its ceiling was filled with countless cracks, as if it were a pane of glass that could shatter at any moment.
This was the base of the Heaven Crushing Sect, the Land of Eternal Light!
Many Return to Void Stage mighty figures were cultivating in peculiar spell techniques here, each of which was imbued with the intent to puncture the heavens and slice through all things.
These were all extremely renowned and powerful beings on the continent, but they were only ordinary fighters here.

As these fighters cultivated, many of them would look up at the palace from time to time with expressions of yearning on their faces. They knew that all those who were situated within the palace were extremely terrifying beings and that it would be a peerless honor to be able to enter the palace.

Ne Zha! Quit running around! Your Heaven Crushing Spear has not reached a satisfactory standard!
A middle-aged man hoisting a tower was chasing around a young boy.
Boom!
The middle-aged man had no choice but to unleash his tower to trap the young boy underneath it.

Let me go! I’m practicing the same thing every day, and I’m about to go insane!
Ne Zha struggled underneath the tower.

Sigh…
The middle-aged man heaved a resigned sigh.
His son had a fantastic aptitude, but a very short attention span.

Look at the golden boy and the jade girl, look at the seven Celestial Maidens… All of them are working harder than you! You’re all young prodigies, but they never think about playing around like you do. All of them are intent on cultivating in Heaven Crushing spell techniques every day and trying to save the human race, while all you could think about is to play and fool around! What kind of irresponsible child are you?!
Heavenly King Li spoke with an enraged expression.

Ne Zha was still resisting.
All of you are researching how to crush the heavens, can’t you just let me rest?

Heavenly King Li pointed to the west as if he hadn’t heard what Ne Zhas was saying.
Look at the Battling Buddha with whom you were once able to fight on par. He’s already at the Dao Integration Stage now, but you’re still only at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage! He has even mastered a paramount Heaven Crushing spell technique like the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, while you still haven’t even mastered the most elementary Heaven Crushing Spear…

Ne Zha:
…

The poor child finally relinquished all resistance.
If he kept on resisting, Heavenly King Li was going to compare him to every other child in this world!
All of the Kingdom of the Nine States cultivators were working hard to fight the heavens, and essentially, all Return to Void Stage cultivators were cultivating in the Heaven Crushing spell techniques.
The Heavenly Dao was panicking a little as a result, and the Heavenly Gods were making significantly fewer appearances than they used to. The reason for this was that every time they appeared, they would be surrounded by a bunch of fanatical Heaven Crushing Sect powerful beings who were eager to test out their Heaven Crushing spell techniques. That’s right, the almighty Heavenly Gods were being used as exotic lab rats!
Aside from the several dozen Return to Void Stage mighty figures cultivating in the Heaven Crushing spell techniques at the Land of Eternal Light, the rest of them were all distributed across the five fronts, battling for the sake of the human race.

Not only did the Heaven Crushing Sect have powerful members from all over the world, but almost all of the powerful beings from the human race had also become its members. The four great sects, the four emperors of the Heavenly Court, the Nine Imperials…
The human race had no choice but to fight with all their power.
If the Heavenly Court was the pillar of the human race and the Four Nine Immortal Sect was the hero of the human race, then the Heaven Crushing Sect was the sharpest sword available to the human race! The only disappointing thing was that the Four Nine Immortal Sect had not joined the Heaven Crushing Sect. The Four Nine Immortal Sect was still the subject of much controversy because of this.
Just as all of the mighty figures were hard at work.
A fine and delicate youth in coarse, linen garments suddenly appeared in the Land of Eternal Light before making his way toward the palace.
All of the mighty figures were given a fright upon seeing this.
This was someone they had never seen before!

Who goes there?!
Heavenly King Li roared, and he appraised the youth with cautious eyes as the tower in his hand emanated a golden divine light.

All of the other mighty figures also began to summon their powers, and they would slay the youth on the spot if he did anything out of line.
This mysterious being could quite possibly be someone from the Heavenly Human Tribe or a representative of the Heavenly Dao!
A warm smile devoid of any animosity appeared on the youth’s face, and he nodded slightly at all of the unfamiliar powerful beings before continuing onward.
Before everyone had a chance to react.
The gate of the palace suddenly opened.
A flawlessly beautiful woman with glittering and translucent skin in a flowing white dress made her way out from within the palace while wearing an expression of excitement on her face.

Xue Yan.
Ne Zha looked at the woman with reverence and adoration.
Xue Yan was very beautiful. Ne Zha felt as if a hot poker had been stabbed through his heart the first time he had laid eyes upon her, making him feel as if his heart were about to explode!

She was like a flawless yet aloof goddess of ice and snow.
However, the perpetually cold and aloof Xue Yan now had tears flowing down her face, all because of the man making his way toward the palace.
Ne Zha had a bad feeling about this.
The powerful beings present were also a little hesitant. They didn’t dare to attack this man, and at the same time, they began to speculate about just who he could be.
Right at this moment, the Ancient Dragon Empress also appeared outside the gate and bowed slightly with a wide smile, looking as if she was here to welcome that man!
All of the mighty figures present were astonished.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was already the second most prestigious being in the Heaven Crushing Sect, so who was this man that she was bowing to?
A slightly disheveled man with a pair of demon horns and crimson eyes also made his way out from the palace while holding an alcohol gourd in his hand. He seemed to be very elated by the sight of the new arrival, and he gulped down a few mouthfuls of alcohol from his gourd, as if he was celebrating.
Many people at the Land of Eternal Light had seen him, but no one knew who he actually was.
Some of the veteran Heaven Crushing Sect mighty figures said that he was the Heavenly Disciple Attendant of the first heavenly disciple. His name was Demon Emperor Si Yu, and apparently, he was once the most powerful being in the True Demon Tribe. After that, he changed his appearance, and even his cultivation base appeared to be only at the Soul Formation Stage. This was quite a bizarre and mysterious character.
Of course, these rumors had never been confirmed.
Right at this moment, a graceful and handsome man in a red robe made his way out from the palace.
Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this man.
They had only seen this man once when joining the Heaven Crushing Sect, and they were not expecting him to come out in person to welcome this new arrival!
This man from the True Demon Tribe was extremely renowned across all mighty figures at the Return to Void Stage and above. He was truly the most powerful being in the True Demon Tribe, and he was also the first heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect, Cyril!
Cyril welcomed the new arrival with a warm smile.
Welcome back, second heavenly disciple, Chen Chen.
