Chapter 1003: Chapter 986: The Question of Ascension, Comprehending the True Heart!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A million Blood Clan’s Blood Moon Guards stepped forward, their sounds like heavenly drums thundering, resonating through the Deep Void. Soldier by soldier, their eyes ablaze with icy coldness, they advanced toward the battlefield a hundred miles away where intense fighting raged.

"Fire!" The movement on the side of the exotic beasts was naturally detected by the humans. Countless bow-wielding War Soldiers once again drew their bows like crescent moons, their arrows sleek as jade.

Shoot over!

Countless arrow feathers flew over the bloody battlefield at the center, shooting towards the Blood Race Soldiers charging into the fray.

The sky full of arrow feathers pierced the void, shimmering with a bone-chilling murderous intent, turning into a rain of arrows, descending upon the Blood Clan.

The Blood Clan lacked the robust physiques of the exotic beasts. Instantly, a blood mist rose incessantly into the sky, the arrows were endless, and continuously, Blood Race Soldiers cried out in agony, pinned to their deaths by the arrows, only to be trampled underfoot by the surging ranks of their kinsmen.

The Deep Void trembled as a million War Masters brandished their weapons, finally crossing the hundred miles to break into the central battlefield.

Blood Qi danced wildly, battle cries howled, countless blood-colored war spears spun in hand, carrying a thick scent of blood, slicing through the humans and exotic beasts in the melee, plunging straight into the bloody combat.

Without experiencing such bloodshed firsthand, one could never understand the shock of it all.

Human War Soldiers, each with Combat Qi howling about them, weapons in hand angrily slashing down, formed various war formations, carving a path through the bloodshed, merging their blood Qi into a vast ocean as they fought on.

But facing a great battle of millions, even Towering Realm Martial Artists, even with Human Battle Formations, once the fighting became mingled, it turned white-hot with all techniques hard to use, only the most primal hacking and slashing remained.

Countless remains and bones were flung about, belonging to humans, exotic beasts, and the Blood Clan that had mixed into the fray, these anciently feuding races now intertwined in flesh and blood, devoid of any other thoughts, fixated on nothing but the slaughter!

Driven by instinct alone, they swung their War Sabers, either chopping off the heads of the enemy or falling by enemy hands themselves, such was the fate of the Human War Soldiers!

The bloodiness of the Deep Void World naturally led to a renewed Blood Rain falling upon the Human World’s Earth, as countless humans prayed; the heavens and earth felt heavy as if mourning the fallen warriors!

Meanwhile, far in the mysterious Desolate World of the Deep Void, Xiao Chen remained clueless about everything in the Outer World!

"Divine Inheritance!"

At this moment, there was a hint of fervor in his eyes, even his complexion turning flushed. Ever since he stepped through that mountain-like archway, he had lost track of where he had ended up.

Gods, immortality!

These two words dominated his entire Soul World, immortality, an irresistible temptation.

Even the Supreme sovereigns would go mad upon learning of it, as their lifespans were at least a million years, potentially longer due to their cultivation Techniques and fate, but they too would eventually die.

Only the Deities of legend were said to be immortal!

At this instant, Xiao Chen found himself in such a disheveled state, his Soul World even seeming somewhat lost!

This was an ancient Stone Path, yet it was showered with endless divine colors, exerting a divine pressure upon Xiao Chen.

Above his body, a layer of luminous purple and gold light converged, spiritually fluid, while inside his body, the roaring never ceased. The Blood Qi stored in the Blood Crystal Diamond was fully stimulated to help him withstand the divine pressure.

But Xiao Chen was oblivious to this, his gaze somewhat scattered as he continued to walk along the Stone Path!

"Do you wish to become a God?"

Suddenly, a voice as grand as a large bell or a grand molu sounded deep within his soul, the voice neither happy nor sad, indistinguishable as male or female, free from any traces of emotion!

"Become a God!" Xiao Chen murmured, his voice tinged with a trace of confusion, his pupils struggling with a glimmer of color!

"To become a God is to wield the Supreme Great Power that can destroy heavens and earth just like the spiritual beings born in the era of desolation, possessing an immortal life that spans the ages!"

"Inherit the Divine Position of this God, and you can become a new spiritual being, the one and only God of the Desolate Land, dominating All Heavens!"

"The one and only God!"

Xiao Chen, who initially struggled, had a hint of passion deep within his pupils.

"To dominate All Heavens!"

His pupils contracted sharply, for his eyes had long lost the Ling Guang unique to the Human Tribe.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! As long as you agree, you can inherit my Divine Mansion and become a new spiritual being!" the emotionless voice rang continuously in Xiao Chen’s heart, seducing him persistently.

"Can I really become a god?"

"Indeed, as long as you agree, you will be a god, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth just like the Deities of the Desolate Era!"

"Then, after I become a god, will I be a human or a god?"

"Of course, a god. How can such a weak tribe as the Human Race be compared with the Deities? Even the weakest Deity of the Desolate Era could, with a glance, cause billions from the Human Tribe to bleed!"

"Shed this despicable flesh, become a god, forge a Divine Body, innately divine, isn’t that billions of times stronger than being from the Human Tribe!"

In the Soul World.

Xiao Chen’s Spirit suddenly trembled, and in the unknown a thread of destiny belonging to the Human Tribe formed a connection with him.

The destiny of the Human Tribe naturally belonged to those with Human Tribe bloodline and could only be blessed and utilized by them; at this moment, Xiao Chen’s Soul World had already been filled with endless divine brilliance.

"But I am of the Human Tribe, from bloodline to the depths of the soul, all belong to the Human Tribe. How can I cast aside the flesh of the Human Tribe to become a spiritual being!"

"Born a god, naturally a god; born a human, naturally flowing with the bloodline of the Human Tribe."

Hum!

Finally, Xiao Chen’s Soul World shook violently, and an epiphany illuminated his entire Soul World like the first light of dawn!

His Spirit trembled, and he suddenly awakened. If it weren’t for the destiny of the Human Tribe calling him back in the moment of crisis, he would have forever sunk into this boundless illusion.

Awakening, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief. He had just realized, upon entering that mountainous archway, he had unconsciously lost his determination.

Now, having awakened, the mountain-like divine radiance that once seemed like a waterfall no longer had any weight. Sensing his body’s condition, Xiao Chen realized that in just a short amount of time, his Blood Essence Battle Body had depleted half of its stored Blood Qi energy.

Phew!

He took a long breath, calmed the tumult in his heart, and began to look around. He found that despite being filled with divinity, the deep and quiet Stone Path had walls covered in large amounts of inscriptions belonging to the Human Tribe, interspersed with many carvings.

Although these characters were somewhat ancient, Xiao Chen was sure that they indeed belonged to the Human Tribe!

Considering the previous divine trial and the massive, mountainous archway, followed by the plaque of the Desolate God Temple, the re-emergence of the Human Tribe’s characters, combined with the confirmed Human mysterious figure, made everything increasingly baffling.

Is it man, or is it god?

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen cast these doubts aside. Now that he had entered this mysterious land, if he kept going, he would eventually break through this fog.

Then Xiao Chen proceeded along the Stone Path toward the depths, similarly observing the murals on the walls on both sides.

The murals imprinted on the stone walls exuded a sense of ancientness and time, seemingly depicting the life journey of a Warrior, as well as scenes from the Wilderness land of ancient times.

In the ancient Desolate Era, the Human Tribe had just learned to use fire. In one not-so-large tribe, a child was born.

Before long, disaster struck. An Exotic Beast, larger than a mountain, fell from the sky, opened its mouth, and all the living beings within thousands of miles of Earth were swallowed by the beast, including the child’s tribe.

The child was similarly devoured, but then a Human Warrior arrived, transforming into a mountainous War Body, battled the beast with his bare fists, tore the mountain-sized Exotic Beast apart, and rescued the child from its maw!

Mountainous War Body of the Human Tribe!

Xiao Chen was certain that it was tens of thousands of feet tall, and with pure physical strength alone, slaughtered an Exotic Beast. Compared to the Warrior depicted in the murals, his own body fell short by an enormous margin!
