My Descendant Begged Me To Help Him Just After I Became A God - Chapter 261
Chapter 261: Purgatory on Earth, Heaven and Earth Furnace
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the 48th year of the Taihe Era, winter had just passed. Everything had recovered.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and stretched. He looked at Bai Qi and asked with a smile, “Why is the capital more lively than usual?”
Bai Qi answered, “It is said that the imperial court found a dragon spine from the imperial underground palace. Therefore, the Emperor decided to hold an Ascendant Convention for all the geniuses on the Genius List to participate.
The winner would obtain the dragon spine for them to use the
Heaven-Deriving Martial Law to integrate with it. Therefore, all the martial artists in the dynasty went crazy.”
She paused for a moment before she clicked her tongue in wonder. “Master, the night before yesterday, I went to visit the Emperor and asked him to bring us to see the dragon spine. It’s really extraordinary. It contains an aura that makes my heart palpitate. Even those two stinky brats fely extremely uncomfortable. Could it be that it’s really from a dragon?”
Jiang Changsheng turned to look at the palace and locked his gaze on the dragon spine.
This aura…
How was it from a dragon? It merely had the aura of a dragon.
Jiang Changsheng remembered this aura. This ferocious beast had been engraved in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It was a powerful ferocious beast from the depths of the Great Wilderness. It looked like a flood dragon, but it was far inferior to a real dragon. Although it was not a lucky ferocious beast, its aura was indeed terrifying. It could be considered the most powerful ferocious beast he had ever encountered.
Strength was one thing, but pressure was another.
The aura most living beings exuded depended on their strength, but the aura that came from this flood dragon far exceeded its strength. It could easily scare away enemies stronger than it and if it encountered enemies weaker than it, it could even scare them unconscious.
Of course, if they could withstand its aura, they could easily fight with the flood dragon.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and said, “It might be considered as a dragon in this world.”
This aura had the momentum of a dragon.
Bai Qi became a chatterbox and began to talk about interesting things in the capital.
Every year, the New Spring Festival was the busiest time in the capital. The vassal countries would send courtiers to pay tributes, and merchants from all over the dynasty would come to hold many auctions. The streets were filled with street stalls selling rich and diverse martial arts resources. At this moment, martial arts culture had reached its peak.
Jiang Changsheng noticed that Ji Wujun was sitting in front of the medicinal cauldron with a frown and a worried look on her face. He immediately asked, “Miss Ji, have you encountered difficulties in your practice?”
Ji Wujun came back to her senses and hastily said, “No, it’s just that I’ve been feeling uneasy recently, as if a disaster is coming.”
As she spoke, she raised her hand to cover her chest. This was the first time she had revealed her feminine side.
When Jiang Changsheng heard that, he was so frightened that he frantically calculated. After ensuring that there was no danger nearby, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he had been negligent.
Ji Wujun continued, “When I say disaster is coming, I don’t mean to Great Jing, but the humans in the endless ocean. Although I have cut off all ties with the Ji Family, I am still a member of the Ji Family. I was once responsible for the Martial Monarch’s position and the fate that comes with the position. If a calamity befalls the humans, I can detect it in advance. This feeling is very strong, just like when the supreme demon attacked the Sage.”
She sighed. She knew that it was useless to say it out loud. After all, she was no longer in the endless ocean.
“Dao Ancestor, there’s no need to think too much. I’ve already thought it through. Protecting the people of Great Jing is the way to leave hope for the human race. I’m just instinctively uneasy. This feeling is uncontrollable. I’ll be fine after some time.’
Ji Wujun said seriously. She was afraid that the Dao Ancestor would take action and cause trouble for Great Jing.
The calamity this time was definitely not simple. It was not something that the Dao Ancestor could end with a few arrows.
The battlefield between the Sacred Dynasty and the demons in the past was so vast that it was hundreds of times larger than the entire Skyview Land. Countless martial artists rushed forward one after another. Even now, when she thought of the terrifying power of the supreme demon, she still shuddered.
Jiang Changsheng nodded and said nothing else.
He motioned for Bai Qi to continue with the interesting stories in the capital.
He seemed unconcerned, but in fact, he was sensing the thoughts of the worshipers in his heart.
Right now, he had so many followers that it would take a lot of time to find clues.
According to Ji Wujun, a great calamity was coming, and it would certainly affect many people. Perhaps some of his worshipers had already been implicated.
It had been 37 years since the Seven Great Demon Saints were resurrected. After they established their presence in the demon race, it was time for them to take action against humans.
After a long time.
Jiang Changsheng finally found some clues.
A group of worshipers had been captured by the demon beasts and were praying for the Xuan Bird and Pangu to save them.
After Bai Qi finished speaking, Jiang Changsheng sat down and closed his eyes. He pretended to train, but in fact, he was visiting a believer in his dream.
He asked that believer’s subconscious to reconstruct their current environment, and soon the dream was formed.
Jiang Changsheng appeared behind that believer. The Ultimate Yang Divine Light shone with divine light and covered his face. His figure also materialized Pangu’s armor.
The moment he appeared, he was stunned.
“This is…”
Jiang Changsheng trembled from the scene before him.
At that moment, he and his worshiper stood on the ground covered with blood. Mountains of corpses surrounded them in all directions. They were all made up of human corpses. Countless martial artists were lying near each corpse mountain. All of them had numb expressions. Some even had broken arms and legs, revealing their white bones.
Jiang Changsheng looked up. There were high mountain ranges in all directions, forming a mighty heavenly wall. The top and bottom of the wall were connected, encircling the land, making him feel as if he was in a furnace. On the heavenly wall were seven terrifying figures, all of which towered into the clouds and shocked the eyes.
Countless demon beasts hovered in the sky. Demon beasts flew over the heavenly wall in all directions and threw martial artists towards the ground. Some fell to their deaths while others were severely injured.
Jiang Changsheng frowned. What were the Seven Great Demon Saints trying to do?.
He took a cursory glance, but even with his eyesight, he could not calculate how many people were trapped here. This was hell on earth.
The worshiper standing in front of Jiang Changsheng clasped his hands in front of his chest and prayed.
“Pangu, come and save us…
“Pangu, come and save us…”
He repeated this sentence without any emotional fluctuation. He was numb and on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Changsheng sighed and left the dream. Then, he switched to the dreams of other suffering worshipers. They were also on this land, surrounded by mountains of corpses. Some of the worshipers were in such a horrifying environment that even he could not stand it.
The demons seemed to treat this place as a granary. Be it the dead or the living, they would throw them in. Every once in a while, they would throw down meat and fruits for the trapped people to fight over. In such a desperate place, the living had lost their rationality and become muddle-headed beasts. There were even cases of cannibalism.
Jiang Changsheng’s worshipers still retained their rationality and hope because they believed that Pangu or the Xuan Bird would come to their rescue. Of course, there were also a group of worshipers who had collapsed.
Jiang Changsheng withdrew from the dream and opened his eyes.
Even though he was afraid of trouble, he wanted to take action when he saw this scene.
Once the Seven Great Demon Saints were killed, the Demon Race’s Supreme would certainly attack and would not allow the human race to rise again. Even though Great Jing was in the Great Wilderness, if he took the initiative to attract the attention of the Demon Race’s Supreme, it was very likely that the demon race would search everywhere until they found the Great Wilderness. At that time, he would have to face the entire demon race alone.
If he did not see it, he could still pretend that nothing had happened. However, if he did see it, he would feel suffocated if he did not take action.
The pursuit of immortal cultivation was to have a clear mind!
If he was incapable, then he would not be upset. It was precisely because he had a certain degree of ability to save them that he was upset.
He looked up at Ji Wujun and told her what he had seen and heard.
Ji Wujun’s expression changed drastically as she listened. Even the three demons were frightened.
What kind of purgatory was that?
Ji Wujun muttered, “Could it be… how is that possible? That’s an ancient demon formation, a lost formation of the demon race…
Jiang Changsheng asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Ji Wujun took a deep breath and said, “If my guess is right, the Seven Great Demon Saints are prepared to set up the Heaven and Earth Furnace and use the flesh and blood of trillions of humans to refine the Supreme Pill. They would use the flesh and blood of countless martial artists to condense true qi. It is an extremely vicious array. Legend has it that it appeared ten thousand years ago and was suppressed by the Martial Emperor at that time. He killed all the demon beasts that knew of this array at that time, causing the demon race to be no longer aware of this formation. The Supreme Pill could allow the Seven Great Demon Saints to advance to the Demon Emperor realm, which is the Martial Emperor realm. Once they succeed, the demon race would have seven more Supremes!”
Her heart was filled with fear.
If humans were to face eight Demon Emperors, she could not imagine what kind of nightmare it would be.
Bai Qi could not help but ask, “Will the Demon Supreme allow them to succeed?”
Ji Wujun shook her head and said, “I’m not sure. Perhaps the Seven Great Demon Saints have acknowledged the Supreme as their master. The origin of the Supreme of the demon race is so mysterious that even the Sacred Dynasty does not know its origin. Perhaps it was the Supreme of the demon race who taught them the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation. If it is wrong, I can think of other possibilities.’
“If all seven of the Demon Saints want the Supreme Pill, then the number of martial artists they need must be extremely large. I’m afraid dozens of Luck Dynasties will not be enough. After this incident, I’m afraid all the humans in the ocean will die.”
Jiang Changsheng stood up and turned to the south.
He began to sense the direction of those worshipers and then used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth to look.
After a while, he saw the location of the Seven Great Demon Saints.
They were located on a vast continent. From afar, the entire continent looked like a teacup. The high mountain range formed a heavenly wall that disappeared into the demon clouds. It was as if it was connected to heaven and earth. Countless bones piled up outside the heavenly wall, similar to a white waterfall hanging over the sky. It was horrifying.
Countless demon beasts had gathered around the continent, and there were also countless demon beasts digging up bones and gnawing on them.
Jiang Changsheng began to estimate the area covered by the demon beast army. In fact, it was much larger than he had imagined.
With this continent as their homeground, demon beasts captured martial artists from all directions, flew towards the Heaven and Earth Smelt, and threw them into it.
He did not expect the Seven Great Demon Saints to gather so many demon beasts.
At that moment, Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt the luck of the human race in the world changing, which in turn also affected Great Jing.
He retracted the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth and looked up at the sky.
Violet light filled the sky, and the sea of clouds churned. Luck stirred up waves and formed long dragons that twisted wantonly in the sky. The entire sky seemed to be shrinking. It was an extremely spectacular sight.
Ji Wujun was moved and said in surprise, “This luck is… Impossible. A Martial
Emperor has been born among humans!”
The moment she said that, Jiang Changsheng, Bai Qi, Huang Tian and Hei Tian looked at her in surprise.
A Martial Emperor was born among humans?
So soon?
