Chapter 1055: Sacrifice, Gate of God!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
None of the Demon Gods were concerned about how the two beasts were destroying the mountain.
That was because they had only one thought in mind — how to rejuvenate the demon race and complete their uncompleted mission of the ancient era.
Nangong Mu was their target.
“Do we continue to wait?” The other warlocks replied.
“Wait, we will wait until this brat’s powers are depleted before we attack.” Hong You nodded. The fight with Nangong Mu earlier on made him realize that their skill levels were quite similar.
He might place himself in trouble if he forcefully attacked.
Hong You did not want to an incident like how Tao Tie was killed by the humankind to happen again.
“Understood.” The other warlocks nodded their heads.
Allow the two beasts to continue disrupting and they can sit back and watch the show. There was no harm in that at all.
“You are trying to stop us from destroying the mountain?” Tao Wu was furious when he saw Nangong Mu’s attempt to pull the cracked mountain with the golden tree branches.
He waved his tail again and the force became stronger.
Boom! The rocks cracked open again.
Hun Dun opened his mouth and swallowed the mountain rocks continuously. There was a gigantic and deep dent under his feet.
Those rocks were completely swallowed.
Moreover, Hun Dun opened his mouth and bit on a segment of the golden tree branch, forcefully breaking it and swallowing it.
“The mountain can’t last for much longer, run, everyone!”
“The Heaven Zen Mountain is going to be destroyed!”
“Run down the mountain, hurry…”
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Human Alliance and the Great Xia Dynasty realized that Nangong Mu could only temporarily prevent the Heaven Zen Mountain from crumbling.
Only temporarily.
As long as Tao Wu and Hun Dun were still alive, it was only a matter of time before the Heaven Zen Mountain collapsed.
Boom!
The ground cracked open again and the mountain that was pulled together forcefully by Nangong Mu started shaking again as rocks flew. The mountain looked as though it would collapse any time from now.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Human Alliance and the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty began to run wildly down the mountain and nobody was willing to stay.
“Retreat!”
“Retreat now!”
“…”
Emperor Lin Mubai made a command. He had no other choices but to retreat as the Heaven Zen Mountain was about to be destroyed.
They would definitely die if they stayed on.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty would also die. This was not what Lin Mubai wanted to see.
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi also did not have the intention to continue the battle. They began to command the disciples of the Human Alliance.
“Retreat to the foot of the mountain!”
“Run, everyone!”
“…”
The people were like the tides, they arrived quickly and left even more quickly. As Tao Wu and Hun Dun were destroying the mountain, the people retreated in a wild manner.
That included the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
Nobody was willing to stay on the top of the Heaven Zen Mountain as it was going to collapse. Anyone who did not want to die knew that fleeing was the best choice.
Soon after, the top of the Heaven Zen Mountain became clear.
The rocks split open on the ground and were shaking non-stop. Only a few of the powerful individuals who could fly chose to stay and watch the battle in midair.
Fang Zhengzhi had expanded his black-golden wings.
He flew into the sky. He was hugging onto Ping Yang on one hand while holding Yan Xiu on the other. Chi Guyan, on the other hand, did not need his help.
That was because there was a silvery-white long river holding Chi Guyan beneath her feet. She stood steadily in the air and looked extremely holy.
“I hope that father and the rest manage to escape.” Ping Yang was slightly worried as he looked at the retreating soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
“With auntie around, he will definitely be alright.” Fang Zhengzhi was aware that Emperor Lin Mubai and Qian Yu had reconciled and Qian Yu would definitely not leave Emperor Lin Mubai alone.
“Yes, Mother is here and she will definitely protect father just like how I protect you.” Ping Yang nodded her head seriously.
“You protect me?” Fang Zhengzhi pouted as he looked at Ping Yang.
“Didn’t I kill Tao Tie?” Ping Yang raises her chest and looked extremely arrogant and cute.
“That’s why the two beasts were infuriated.”
“…”
“Zhengzhi, Nangong Mu looks like he can’t hold on for long. If I’m correct, he will probably attack the… Door of the Realm of God” said Yan Xiu as he looked at the towering golden Tree of God and the unopened Door of the Realm of God in the sky.
“Door of the Realm of God?” Fang Zhengzhi knew what Yan Xiu meant.
Now that the fruit of the Tree of God was in Nangong Mu’s possession, he could be said to have owned the key to opening the Door of the Realm of God.
However, would the descended Godly beasts of the demon race and monster race allow Nangong Mu to do that?
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi looked down and realized that there were a few shadows on the Heaven Zen Mountain.
Mu Qingfeng and the rest did not leave?
Apart from Mu Qingfeng, Heavenly Oasis Saint, Yan Qianli and some other sect leaders did not leave but were defending with all their might.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng, Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint surrounded Wu Yuer and Yun Qingwu in a triangular formation.
“Wu Yuer, leave!” shouted Fang Zhengzhi.
“No, I will definitely not leave this time!” Wu Yuer had a determined expression. She flung a waistband in her hand and protected everyone around her, including Yun Qingwu.
“Are you crazy?”
“We will live together and die together!”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. She knew Wu Yuer’s temper very well. Although she had a classic look of a sly dealer, he knew that she had a heart that was burning with passion beneath the cold look.
Once she had decided to do something, she would definitely not give it up. In fact, she would not mind even if she sacrificed her life.
‘Forget it, with Mu Qingfeng, Yan Qianli and the rest, there shouldn’t be a problem in blocking the flying rocks and ensure everyone’s safety. It should be alright to not attack.
Fang Zhengzhi did not overthink as Nangong Mu began to move again.
The golden Tree of God grew rapidly and wildly as the golden tree branches thickened and the tree leaves began to bloom and they blocked the sky.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that this scene was familiar.
During the battle on the Heaven Zen Mountain, Nangong Hao attacked similarly to connect the Tree of God with the sky and successfully opened the Gate of God of the Two Realms of Monsters and Demons.
If Fang Zhengzhi had not swallowed the fruit of the Door of the Realm of God, all three of the Gates would have been opened, causing the three races to fight against each other.
“Nangong Mu, you can’t open the Door of the Realm of God!” Although Fang Zhengzhi was unsure of what exactly would happen after the Door of the Realm of God was opened, he had a premonition that the world would really end once that happened.
“How are we going to defend against the Monster Race and Demon Race if we don’t open the Door of the Realm of God?” Ping Yang blinked. She trusted Fang Zhengzhi but there were too many powerful demons and monsters who had descended.
Moreover, they were still descending.
Humankind would definitely not be able to defend against the powerful demons and monsters as there were too many ancient godly beasts and demon gods.
“I don’t know but I feel that once the Door of the Realm of God opened, the history of the ancient era would repeat itself.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head as he really did not know.
“You mean a cosmic disaster would take place?”
“I’m not sure but it’s highly possible.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Ping Yang fell silent.
The battle amongst the three races triggered the cosmic disaster and the entire world was met with a huge disaster. Countless broken stones landed from the sky and plunge the people into misery and suffering.
If Mother Earth did not lead the powerful individuals from the three races to defend against the cosmic disaster, the world would have ended already.
However, these were only records.
What was the reality?
Why did the battle trigger the cosmic disaster? Why did the three races listen to Mother Earth and stay united to defend against the cosmic disaster?
How did Mother Earth persuade the three races?
There were too many questions involved. Only the Godly demons who had experienced the ancient battlefield would know the answer.
However, the demon gods and godly beasts who had descended were not concerned about battles as they had imagined. In fact, they had a strong liking for battles.
Hong You, one of the four ancient beasts, including the Godly State experts who had descended in the past wanted to control the world and rule the world.
It was too strange.
If it was really as recorded and Mother Earth had persuaded the three races, why did the powerful individuals act like that?
Moreover, why did Emperor Huang Xuanyuan re-enter the galaxy?
None of the historical books had this recorded but it became the greatest question after they exited from Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s tomb.
What was Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s purpose for entering the galaxy?
Nobody knew!
“I believe Fang Zhengzhi. Since he said not to open the Door of the Realm of God, we definitely should not open it!” Yan Xiu did not question further and said.
“Hmm, I believe him too.” Chi Guyan nodded too.
“Alright, since Sister Yan feels that we should not open the Door of the Realm of God, let’s not open it then,” said Ping Yang as she stuck out her tongue.
“But will Nangong Mu listen to us?” Fang Zhengzhi kept looking at the Tree of God which was continuously growing. The answer to the question was evident.
Nangong Mu would not listen to them.
Even though Nangong Mu did not purposely go against humankind, his determination to open Door of the Realm of God was unchanged.
Just like what Nangong Mu said to Yan Qing, he did not believe it!
The mission of Nangong Nobles was passed down for thousands of years, generations after generations. He did not believe that his ancestors would lie to him.
Just like how Yan Xiu trusted Fang Zhengzhi without any reasons.
Boom! The golden Tree of God continued to grow towards the sky. Meanwhile, on the ground, Tao Wu and Hun Dun attacked the Heaven Zen Mountain with full force.
Crack! Another gigantic crack appeared on the ground, it was not like the simple crack earlier on.
It was probably going to crack completely.
Mu Qingfeng and Yan Qianli had brought Wu Yuer and the rest to the sky safely. Wu Yuer used her waistband to wind around Yun Qingwu as it was no longer possible to stand on the ground.
“Fang Zhengzhi, take down Qiong Qi with me!” At this moment, a loud roar was heard from the sky. It was none other than Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.
“Tsk tsk, Xuanyuan Five, you found someone to help? Do you really think that the human can kill the four of us?” Qiong Qi sneered.
“Of course, isn’t Tao Tie dead? If you don’t want to end up like him, I will advice you to stop now!” affirmed Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.
“…” Qiong Qi felt speechless as Tao Tie was indeed killed by Fang Zhengzhi.
This was unbelievable for Qiong Qi.
After all, Tao Tie was indeed more powerful than him.
However, Tao Tie was slightly physically weaker and could be said to be the weakest amongst the four beasts. However, he had a very special skill.
He could reverse the Daos.
That was why Tao Tie became one of the four ancient beasts.
“Xuanyuan Five, I believe that you can kill Qiong Qi!” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to help Xuanyuan Five but Nangong Mu had already attacked.
Meanwhile, Hong You and the rest of the Demon Gods were watching from above.
If he decided to spring a combined attack at Qiong Qi now, there would be some issues with Nangong Mu. Once Nangong Mu opened the Door of the Realm of God or was caught by Hong You or the rest…
Both outcomes were terrible.
“…” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five felt speechless now. As the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, number one Godly Beast of the ancient era, it was extremely rare for him to ask a Human for help.
Yet, he was rejected?
Rejected!
Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five wanted to curse.
However, Qiong Qi laughed very happily. His body tumbled in the air as he clapped both his wings continuously and moved in front of Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.
“Hahaha… that brat is not helping you, hahaha…”
“Shut up!” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was mad. He swung his gigantic dragon tail which was surrounded by countless lightning bolts and it whipped Qiong Qi.
He was really infuriated.
However, no matter how angry he was, it was impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to go against Qiong Qi now.
That was because the golden Tree of God formed by Nangong Mu had stopped growing. A figure appeared on the top of the Tree of God.
It was a black figure.
It was none other than Nangong Mu.
Nangong Mu could not possibly stay in the trunk of the Tree of God forever if he wanted to open the Door of the Realm of God. He had to float out of the Tree of God to start the sacrificial ceremony.
However, the biggest problem with this ceremony was that it required time.
“Haha, he finally came out?” Hong You smiled when he saw this and a cold look flashed across his eyes. “Let’s go, don’t let him enter that tree again!”
“Roger!” The other warlocks dashed towards Nangong Mu instantly
