Chapter 1468: Chapter 1423: The Old Ghost of the Six Dao - Clash of the Four Saints!

(Thank you for the tip from ’Seize the Present 91’, I was totally unprepared, so the extra update will be tomorrow!)

Meteorites, dragging long trails of flame, sliced through time and space, turning into a rain of fire that obscured the sky vault. Amidst the fiery rain, a towering figure emerged.

In an instant, Xiao Chen and the other two didn’t hesitate at all, striking in succession. The flames exploded at the zenith of the sky vault, and the scorching air currents surged between heaven and earth.

In the depths of the endless sky, behind an ancient great star, the towering figure gradually solidified. This was a figure as massive as a mountain, and the surging aura of the Desolate Wilds could be felt, despite the vast distance, with its tumultuous power.

The astonishing blood qi made everyone feel as if their breathing had become stagnant.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Heavy footsteps struck the hearts of the many warriors like sledgehammers.

"Expand!"

The Purple Dragon Saint Child’s eyes suddenly burst with two beams of golden light, piercing through the Void above.

The grand move he had used against Xiao Chen before was specially prepared for this mysterious person. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Not to mention expanding, even Xiao Chen was a cut above him.

"The Saint Child of Expansion, this is the most mysterious Saint Child of Expansion from my Eastern Wasteland!"

"What a terrifying aura, such dense decrepitude and ancientness, it feels as if he comes from the olden Desolate Wilds."

Even when stepping on the Void, it was as if there were solid stairs beneath his feet. The towering figure thus made his way step by step above the Void where Xiao Chen and the others were level with him.

Clad in a simple beast skin, with one shoulder exposed, his skin looked as if cast from gold and iron, radiating a dazzling, surging blood qi.

"Descendants of the Taihao Imperial Blood, we have witnessed the current inheritor of the Bone Sect."

Suddenly, the Taihao Saint Child spoke, performing one of the most ancient salutations of the Human Race. He did not refer to himself as a Saint Child, nor did he address the newcomer as one.

"I had long speculated about your identity, and sure enough, you indeed hail from the ancient Bone Sect."

Yet the Purple Dragon Saint Child next to him showed a flicker of Fighting Will in his eyes. He wasn’t the least bit disheartened by his loss to Xiao Chen.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was the only one who remained silent. His gaze moved over the towering figure before him. The person before him was extremely tall, around ten feet in height, which revealed that this was not some sort of War Body, but his real form.

The surging blood qi was oppressive.

A great foe!

Even in his perception, the person before him was like a living volcano, ready to erupt at any moment. The terrifying power made it difficult to discern what realm he was in, but it was surely within the Emperor level. As for which step he had reached within the Emperor level, it couldn’t be determined without a fight.

Compared to the reactions of the Taihao Saint Child and the Purple Dragon Saint Child, Xiao Chen was much more composed. The Taihao Royal Blood Family stood behind the Taihao Saint Child, with a long heritage spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, so he knew many secrets unknown to others.

Similarly, the Purple Dragon King Division behind the Purple Dragon Saint Child, equally with a long-standing heritage, although not a noble imperial bloodline, had flourished since its establishment. Now it was only short of an Emperor to match even those families of Imperial Blood.

Warriors emerging from such great legacies naturally had an extraordinary vision, and not even Xiao Chen could help feeling inadequate. For instance, he was not aware of the Bone Sect that both men mentioned.

This land hides too many decrepit and ancient secrets; on the surface, King-level Tribes of the Human Race hold their domains, yet numerous ancient forces entangle, deeply rooted. Even now, he dared not claim that he had totally understood the Southern Domain.

"Bone Sect, Expansion!"

A rough voice followed, greeting Xiao Chen and the others with an ancient fist-clenching gesture, to which Xiao Chen responded similarly.

"Xiao Chen from the Eastern Wasteland South Region."

At this moment, everyone from the lands of the Eastern Emperor turned their eyes towards the four figures in the sky. Four great Saint Children of the Eastern Wasteland had gathered!

"With the most mysterious Saint Child of Expansion making his entrance, what kind of dragon and tiger struggle will we witness?"

Immediately, various wills interwove around Eastern Emperor City, with incessant discussions arising. However, to everyone’s surprise, the previously tense situation between Xiao Chen and the Purple Dragon Saint Child had vanished!

The four great Saint Children gathered, yet the atmosphere became amicable, even the previously wild and vast aura of the Saint Child of Expansion, who emerged from the ancient starry sky, calmed down.

In midair, the four Saint Children stood at four corners, their gazes continuously sweeping across each other, tranquil in their eyes. Although they possessed Fighting Will, none of them made a move.

...

Afar, on the vast land, next to the teacher of the youth and the Lord of the Divine Marquis Palace, an additional figure appeared at some point—a gray-robed elder.

His wide Beast Robe nearly enveloped him entirely, and the dense aura of decay within three feet of him had congealed to an extreme, even turning into a viscous liquid of decay.

What was most interesting was that the elder had a spade-shaped weapon on his back, carved from stone and covered with mottled cracks.

"Interesting," said the teacher of the youth with a light tone, "Old Ghost of the Six Paths, the inheritor of your Bone Sect this generation is no ordinary person. No wonder you pushed him to contend for the position of Human Emperor."

"Hehe..." An extremely raspy and unpleasant voice emerged from the gray robe. Even as the robe fluttered, a creaking sound echoed, as if the bones had rusted from not moving for a long time.

"Great Teacher, in every generation, members of my Eastern Wasteland Bone Sect have not met with good ends. Now, at the end of this era, it’s still unknown if we can survive it, hence our Bone Sect must also make an all-out effort."

"Six Paths Ghost, the last time we met was ten thousand years ago, wasn’t it? You’re still so cautious, personally ensuring the junior members of your sect return safely to the Human World Earth."

The voice of the Sun-slaying God King echoed, but his gaze was likewise set upon the four figures at the center of Eastern Emperor City.

"Carelessness is not an option. All of you are seated firmly in the Human World Earth, and only my Bone Sect keeps appearing and disappearing through the endless void, having undercut too many clans’ foundations. How could they not harbor their grudges, waiting for even the slightest chance to strike?"

A raspy and unpleasant voice rose again, lightly shaking its head.

"Six Paths Ghost, the heir from your sect might already be not much less than you or I. It seems the Bone Sect has prepared quite thoroughly this time."

"The Divine Marquis Palace’s contingent this time is also formidable." Six Paths Ghost lifted his head, his gray robe deep and black-hole-like, completely obscuring his face; only two even darker orbs flickered with Radiant Glow.

"Temporary combat strength doesn’t equate to lifelong dominance. Once the struggle for the Human Emperor’s throne begins, it won’t stop until someone ascends; thus, it’s hard to gauge the current standing of those four!"

At that moment, the young instructor spoke out, interrupting the two of them.

Suddenly, the young instructor turned the conversation to another matter, proclaiming: "This time the Eastern Wasteland has summoned these four because of the major movements upcoming in our Eastern Wasteland. As the Human Saint Children, it’s time for them to take action!"

What!

Upon hearing this, both the Sun-slaying God King and Six Paths Ghost sharply turned to look at the young instructor.

"Young Instructor, we’ve been preparing for so long, and who knows how many Strong Ones have fallen. Isn’t it too rash to entrust everything to these four?"

"Although the strength of the four is indeed at the pinnacle of All Heavens, isn’t this a bit too frivolous!"

"There’s no frivolity. Now that the Human Realm’s battles have begun, bloodshed is inevitable. They are the Human Saint Children, and if they can’t complete the task, then there’s no more need for their existence!"

"This..."

Immediately, the Sun-slaying God King and Six Paths Ghost were left speechless!

Human Saint Child!

These four words are not just a name; they are a burden to bear!

"There’s no issue with my Bone Sect. If he fails to survive this ordeal, then it’s his fate. My Bone Sect will then consider him as no heir of ours!" Soon after, a hoarse voice came from within Six Paths Ghost’s black-hole-like robe.

"A new generation replaces the old. Human Saint Children of each generation awe All Heavens, fighting their way to the throne. This era will be no exception!"

The voice of the Sun-slaying God King rose in agreement.

"Being a Saint Child is both an opportunity and a great responsibility. Ascending to the Human Emperor’s throne is not easy; combat strength is just the basics. Since they’ve been chosen as the Saint Children of Eastern Wasteland, their strength obviously stands atop their peers. What comes next will be determined by each individual’s destiny,"

The words of the young instructor fell, immediately silencing the three!

...

Above Eastern Emperor City.

Xiao Chen and the others simply stood suspended in mid-air; a quarter-hour passed, prompting discussions among the surrounding Warriors who were clearly baffled by what exactly was happening between the four Saint Children, as they stared each other down.

Buzzing!

Suddenly, the Warriors who were observing from mid-air inexplicably fell from the sky one after another, with no warning, as if they had fallen asleep.

Boom!

A thunderous sound exploded in everyone’s Soul World, as a terrifying force surged violently. In that moment, everyone felt a frightful power flood into their Soul World, causing a dense network of cracks that threatened to shatter their souls.

"Not good, everyone quickly seal your Soul Worlds, retract your spirits immediately!"

"The four Saint Children are engaged in a Soul World confrontation. Seal off your will quickly, or else you’ll be pulled into the Soul Worlds woven by the four Saint Children. Minor injuries will damage the spirit; serious cases could lead to Annihilation."

Suddenly, some of the Strong Ones realized what was happening, but it seemed too late. To their perception, the skies above Eastern Emperor City had transformed, suddenly enveloped by a frightful shadow.

In mid-air, Xiao Chen’s eyes burst with terrifying divine light, and within the depths of his pupils, a world ablaze with flame appeared!

Heavenly fire crossed the sky; flames surged like tides, as ancient Volcanoes belched thick smoke, engulfing the skies with inextinguishable fire.

Within this world of flame, four figures stood at different corners.

Boom!

Atop the fiery mouth of a volcano, a sturdy figure swept his hand, immediately conjuring a sky of fire. Every volcano within a hundred miles was emptied by his force, as scorching molten lava surged towards them.

"All of you come at me at once. Ever since my birth, I’ve roamed the outer spaces with the elders of my sect; let’s see the true strength of the warriors from the Ancestral Land of the Human Realm!"

The wild flames wrapped around Xiao Chen and the other two within the range of the attack.
