Chapter 416

– The Dazzling Ancestral Star
The moment the Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s mortal body rose into the world, the whole West Barren trembled in fear. The three-headed Pan Ao’s divine aura filled the sky, and his heads raised high, its mad bellows shuddering the clouds into mist!
His divine aura became stronger as his shouts grew louder, slowly filling every corner of the celestial land!
The sudden change that occurred in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race was truly a world shocking incident!
At this point, the lively West Barren had turned dead quiet, and every celestial race had stopped their activity to stare in the direction of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. All of a sudden, a shabby celestial temple in the Shan Shen Celestial Race started to glimmer, and mountain rocks rolled to above the celestial temple before forming the body of a godly figure. The mighty Shan Shen rose high in the Shan Shen Celestial Race, surging out his godly aura to fight off the Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s godly aura from the Shan Shen territory!
This was a mountain god of the Shan Shen Celestial Race that lived a hermit lifestyle. His celestial temple was in a poor and remote spot; it was one of the celestial temples that had been mostly neglected. Even the Shan Shen high priest was shocked, he was completely oblivious of the existence of a living god in his own race, or that the Shan Shen mountain god would take the form of a statue in a dilapidated temple.
However, in stark contrast, this Shan Shen mountain god’s divine aura was too weak in the face of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor; one was a candlelight, whereas the other was a bright moon.
Then, in the next second, a burst of godly aura came from the territory of the Shen Ya Celestial Race.
At the Zhu Yan Celestial Race, a 10,000 feet tall Zhu Yan celestial being stood tall above the ground. His head pierced through the layers of clouds as he let out a loud roar.
And in the Zhu Jian Celestial, an old man who was sweeping the leaves out from the celestial temple suddenly threw the broom in his hands away. His body then morphed into one from the Zhu Jian Celestial Race with a boar’s head, human’s body, and ox’s tail. A godly aura emanated from his mortal body, and a ferocious roar blasted out from his mouth. The jaws of the surrounding Zhu Jian priests dropped as they stared in disbelief at the old man who had just transformed into a god.
At the Bi Fang Celestial Race’s sacred land, the clouds were fire red in color above in the sky, and there was a precipice that pierced into the cloud layer. At the bottom of the precipice, the Bi Fang disciples that were in groups of hundreds were quietly cultivating there as usual. All of a sudden, the mountain body was cleaved open, and a Bi Fang celestial walked out. He stood on only one leg and suddenly, it spread out its wings, protecting the whole Bi Fang Celestial Race.
There was then the Kui Long Celestial Race, a cow-dragon creature flew out from the volcanic underground, his godly aura was strong, and the rumbling sound of drums accompanied his movements!
While in the Bi Yu Celestial Race, two Bi Yi birds flew out into the sky. These two birds only had one wing each. All of a sudden, they had flown into one another, merging into a celestial being with a bird’s head and a human’s body.
……
……
Zhong Yue was still in the territory of the Ming She Celestial Race, and his face drastically changed as he felt the billowing godly auras.

This … are the gods piqued by the anger of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, and they had no choice but to stand out to warn him?

Zhong Yue stared vacantly at the ongoing mess while he mumbles,
This is getting out of control…

Gu Hongzi’s face was also solemn, he then answered in a low voice,
It’s not only getting out of control, but things are devolving into the worst possible scenario. These gods have stood out because of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, they have appeared to secure the safety and fortunes of their own races, but as this goes on, it will trigger a chain reaction!


Chain reaction?

Zhong Yue was startled, just as he was going to ask more about the chain reaction, loud and clear voices of worship rang beside their ears. These voices came from the saint mountain beside them, the Ming She disciples were kneeling on the ground and chanted their worship around the saint mountain. Then, a godly spirit emerged above the saint mountain.
The godly spirit has the head and tail of a snake, the body of a human, and four wings. The godly spirit then raised his hand up, and a divine weapon flew into the Ming She celestial being’s hand, it was a halberd shining in godly rays.
Meanwhile, the beneath it was also trembling violently, a divine weapon then flew up and disassembled into pieces as it headed toward the godly spirit. The disassembled pieces then attached themselves to the body of the godly spirit, turning into a divine armor and further strengthening the godly spirit’s aura!
Shan Shen, Zhu Yan, Shen Ya, Gui Shen, and the other greater celestial races had their own respective living gods, they could stand out to warn the West Barren of their powers, but the Ming She Celestial Race was not that strong, it didn’t have a living god but only the spirit of a god. However, after tens of thousands of years of worship, in addition to the Ming She Celestial Race’s divine weapons, he was exactly just like a living god!
Zhong Yue’s heart was thumping in shock as the ancient godly spirits emerged within the celestial temples one after another in the West Barren. The divine weapons were awakened, and the chants of worship resounded throughout all of the celestial races, powering the divine weapons to unleash their full power!
Even the celestial races that had waned, and had only fewer than a hundred clansmen, had a godly spirit and divine weapons!
It was truly out of everyone’s imaginations. The whole West Barren was filled with thousands of godly spirits, thousands of divine weapons, filling up the whole place!
Such godly auras were immense, suppressing on the livings in the West Barren in fear and even the Qi Practitioners could feel their arcane energy, Yuan Shen and psyche being suppressed and some were even partially sealed!
Zhong Yue stifled an agonized groan, he could not fly in the sky anymore and crashed into the ground, creating a hole in the earth’s surface.
This was the chain reaction that Gu Hongzi was talking about!
A spark of fire that lit the whole grasslands ablaze!
Furthermore, it was not only the West Barren that was set to burn, but even the East Barren, North Barren, South Barren, Great Wilderness, and as half of the world was also set alight, even the Eastern Sea
saw the signs of being set on fire.
The dragon race’s reaction then caused the demon race to be triggered as well!
The whole Ancestral Star was filled with godly auras; the many gods that had found their peace and lived a hermit life had no choice but to stand out. The godly spirits, demon spirits, divine weapons, and even the saint weapons were all galvanized!
The scenery was spectacular, and not a single word could Zhong Yue describe what he saw!
He was in awe, and he mumbled stunned,
It’s only a woman I just stole, is there really for all of this.…

The whole Ancestral Star was now like a pot of boiling oil, the tiniest spark of fire could bring a world war that involved every single existing races!
Does our Great Wilderness have the capital like the others?
Zhong Yue winked their eyes and looked over at the Great Wilderness. He thought, Now, the celestials, monsters, demons, and dragons have shown their strengths and powers, warning the world of their existence and strength. If the Great Wilderness Swords Gate doesn’t have the same prowess to match them, all of the other races will look down on us. And worse, they will come after the human race. If anything ever happens, the first ones to be destroyed will be the humans….
…
Great Wilderness, Swords Gate.
Jun Sixie locked down her brows, and she stood on the golden summit and gazed at the West Barren, she then shifted her sights to the East Barren where a monster god’s imposing aura emerged and also toward the South Barren where a celestial being holding the saint weapon Eight Dragons Heaven Suppression Cauldron and unleashed its full power.
The Great Wilderness is not strong enough. Although there are still the Four Symbol Banners, these four divine banners would not react to the other godly spirits and divine weapons. They wouldn’t rise to guard the Swords Gate and Great Wilderness without actual attacks or invasions taking place.
Jun Sixie heaved a long breath, and her countenance became filled with sorrow as she thought, With only the Great Boundless Divine Sword and the first headmaster’s godly spirit, we can’t match them at all…
Just as she thought about it, the Great Boundless Divine Sword quivered violently and flew out of her hands, shooting right up into the high sky.
Jun Sixie raised her head, and she was met with the first headmaster’s godly spirit. The voices of worship then increased in volume and surrounded the godly spirit.

Underground palace, open!

The headmaster’s godly spirit said in a trembling voice. He lifted the divine sword slightly above the ground and thrust it into the ground. The palace on the golden summit then slowly open in the middle, revealing the underground world inside of the mountain body. Inside of it was the hilt of the gigantic godly sword.
This was the hilt of the godly sword that was pierced into the heart in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land!
The first headmaster then flicked his finger on the sword’s hilt. Immediately, an appalling Sword Qi and godly aura pierced through the firmament, and the figure of the godly sword appeared in the sky.
This godly sword was so strong that even the saint weapons of the other races were no match for it as if it were the king of all divine armaments!

This is…

Jun Sixie mumbled in shock,
How brash……

Indeed, the godly spirit of the first Swords Gate headmaster had just made an imprudent move. The Swords Gate didn’t have a saint weapon nor a living god. Thus, the human race had the feeblest foundation out of all the factions.
This godly sword didn’t even belong to the Swords Gate, and it wasn’t triggered by the chain reaction that just occurred. The first headmaster’s godly spirit triggered it.
Among all of those that have been triggered by the chain reaction, the strongest and most powerful one was none other than the godly sword in the Swords Gate underground. It was so strong that not even the dragon race’s Coiling Dragon Sword and Zhong Li Celestial Race’s Eight Dragons Heaven Suppression Cauldron could compete against it!
This first headmaster’s move was a warning — Although our Swords Gate had none of the saint weapons or the living gods, if you ever dare to invade the Great Wilderness, then I will trigger this sword and kill us all together!
If that wasn’t imprudent, then what was?
Fine, if it’s imprudent, then I’ll let it be … Jun Sixie sighed, and she thought, At least, we can warn the other races and prevent them from invading us!
In the West Barren, the Gu Diao Celestial Race and Xuan Su felt the godly auras. At a point, she nearly couldn’t contain her godly aura as well. Fortunately, she was quick enough to suppress her godly aura from bursting out and kept her usual cover.
If I had burst out my godly auras during this, I’d be exposed for sure, and death will be my only end! Xuan Su thought as her heart still pounded heavily, The Ancestral Star is really terrifying, it is even stronger than our insect planet, it is indeed the planet from where the Heavenly Monarchs originated. What a lively gathering party they have here, I wonder where the two brats are now; how sly and cunning, being able to slip away right under my nose!
She was also feeling helpless, she couldn’t use any of her deity powers, and if any of her activities were to exceed the level of a magnate, then the gods in the West Barren would have noticed her, and she would be killed without a doubt!
She then thought, That brat can change many forms, I can’t discern his origins at all. He said he is of the Zhu Jian Celestial Race, but now, it seems like the Zhu Jian Celestial Race is just one of his many forms. This makes it incredibly hard to find him. However….
A frigid smile climbed onto the beautiful woman’s face, and she mumbled softly,
You can hide, but can Gu Hongzi do the same? As long as I can catch Gu Hongzi, then your identity will reveal itself!

……
In the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple, Feng Xiaozhong, and the other Xiao Mang experts were suppressed close to the ground by the godly aura. They could not even move a single finger an inch above from the ground at all. Their hearts filled with fear and shock at the suppressive force.
The chain reaction was incredibly dangerous, the trust was fragile, and a single moment of carelessness could bring a war that could wipe out more than half of the living beings in the Ancestral Star – a catastrophic war that not even the Xiao Mang Celestial Race could save themselves from!

What is going on? Why is the grand ancestor so angry that he even came out himself?
