Chapter 1477: Chapter 1432: Scorpion Race Legend, The Demons Reappear!

After leaving the Divine Marquis Palace, Xiao Chen headed straight for the Teleportation Array that connected to the Small World of the Scorpion Clan. His current strength was not yet sufficient to directly construct a passage from the Land of Human Clan to the Scorpion Race World.

Over the years, as his horizons expanded, his understanding of the interrelations between the Hundred Clans of Heaven also became clearer.

Among the Hundred Clans, it was not only the Human Tribe who stood in opposition. There were allies of the Human Tribe, vassals, and races that remained neutral and did not partake in the conquests across the Hundred Realms. The interweaving relations of the major races could be described as deeply rooted and intertwined within the All Heavens.

The Scorpion Clan was one such race that had an unending and mortal feud with the Human Tribe. The conquests against the Scorpion Clan had never ceased since ancient times.

In fact, since the ancient era of the Desolate Wilds, with the annihilation of the progenitor, the Scorpion God, the Scorpion Clan has endured the long years. Even though they had their prosperous epochs in the past, overall, they have never had the capacity to act recklessly in front of the Human Tribe.

However, the Scorpion Clan was naturally aware that if their strength was not sufficient to be presumptuous across the Heavens, they would naturally have to find a powerful backer, which in this case, was the Demonic Tribe.

The entanglements between the Scorpion Clan and the Demonic Tribe even predate the ancient times, and the relationship between the Scorpion Clan and the Demonic Tribe is far from comparable to that of the Royal Beast Race.

Ancient rumors say that in the era of the Desolate Wilds, the Earth was filled with beings of powerful and evil bloodlines. The Strong Ones of that time could fight against gods and demons. After the passage of countless years, many of these formidable creatures transformed into demons, leading to the birth of the Demonic Tribe.

The Scorpion Clan began establishing an inseparable connection with the Demonic Tribe during that era. Considering the appearance of the Scorpion People, which was not much different from that of demons, some of the Strong Ones speculated that the Scorpion Clan might be a branch of the Demonic Tribe.

Of course, this conjecture has never been confirmed, and neither the Demonic Tribe nor the Scorpion Clan has ever spoken about it.

In the Small World of the Scorpion Clan, just like the Land of Human Clan, it is divided into five Great Earth Regions.

However, it is not divided by regions, but by branches. The Scorpion Clan is made up of five major branches: the Golden Armor Scorpion Clan, the Iron Pincer Scorpion Clan, the Blood Pupil Scorpion Clan, the Eight-Armed Scorpion Clan, and the Four-Legged Scorpion People. The five major branches of the Scorpion Clan all revere the Scorpion God.

The Golden Armor Scorpion King, who once had a conflict with Xiao Chen and had even attempted to assassinate him in the Void, was the ruler of the Golden Armor Scorpion Clan. However, not every branch of the Scorpion Clan only has one ruler.

And now, the strongest individual of the Scorpion Clan comes from the branch of the Blood Pupil Scorpion Clan.

...

In the boundless depths of the Void, shrouded in darkness, an immense oval-shaped Small World rotated slowly, with its tremendous pressure continuously compressing the surrounding space and time.

However, within the aura that had been silent for who knows how many years, wisps of blood-colored Qi wafted, tinting an expanse of space and time. On the outer barrier of the Small World, a large swath was dyed crimson.

The source of the blood coloring that seeped through the world barrier was the sky-high will to kill within the world!

Twenty years ago, a sudden change occurred on the Land of the Human Clan. The decree from the Human Tribe’s Eastern Emperor Palace called for an attack on the Scorpion Clan by the Eastern Wasteland’s Qingmu Emperor Clan, the Sword-covering Pavilion, the Turtle Head King Division, a part of the Taihao Clan, and certain peripheral forces of the Divine Marquis Palace.

Although they faced the entire Scorpion Clan, they still retreated step by step under the offensive from the five forces of the Human Tribe. Now, the Human Tribe had overtaken the territories of the Iron Pincer Scorpion People and the Eight-Armed Scorpion People, and the remaining populations of the two Scorpion branches had retreated toward other Scorpion branches.

Upon arriving in the Scorpion Realm, Xiao Chen naturally tried to understand the current affairs of the Scorpion Realm. Apart from the peripheral forces of the Divine Marquis Palace that remained unknown, the Qingmu Emperor Clan was the Supreme Aristocratic Family that had joined him in the last attack on the God Clan Small World.

The Sword Pavilion was a secluded major faction of the Eastern Wasteland, not weaker than any King-level Tribe. The Turtle Head King Division had traded with him when he first ascended to Divine Marquis status, and as for the part of the Taihao Clan with him, they certainly won’t stay behind to help him attack the Scorpion Clan!

Besides the peripheral forces of the Divine Marquis Palace, Xiao Chen did not have absolute confidence in bringing the other four powers under his command!

At the junction of the original territories of the Iron Pincer Scorpion People and the Eight-Armed Scorpion People, lay a vast range of mountains, the Golden Scorpion Mountain Range. The mountains stretched for a hundred thousand miles, resembling a giant scorpion sprawled upon the Earth.

Such a scene was not naturally formed but was carved out by generations of the Scorpion Clan from mountains within a hundred thousand miles. It was a shame, however, that the majestic and boundless Golden Scorpion Mountain had already been shattered, with large sections collapsed, stained with blood, and scorched earth.

At the mountain peak where the original mountain range’s scorpion head was located, a mountain thousands of feet high had been severed in the middle, and the carved scorpion head was unrecognizable.

The five major forces of the Human Tribe had encamped in this range of mountains, with the entire area of a hundred thousand miles serving as a training ground for the Human Race Warriors.

Unlike Xiao Chen’s attack on the Royal Beast Race, the five Human Tribe forces did not occupy the Scorpion Clan’s land but continuously launched attacks to eradicate the Scorpion Clan’s living forces.

The armies were continuously mobilized, attacking the heartlands of the Scorpion Clan. On the vast land outside the Golden Scorpion Mountain Range, Blood Qi soared to the heavens, and a violent atmosphere churned. The camps of the Scorpion Clan stretched endlessly, with no end in sight.

On the peak of an Ancient Mountain in the Golden Armor Mountain Range, a streak of Qing light materialized, and its gaze swept over the surroundings, sensing the violent Blood Qi.

"There sure are a lot of people!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke, his gaze piercing through the void.

"Eh, there is Demonic Qi!"

Sensing a faint trace of aura amidst the surrounding turbulence of violence, a spark of light flickered in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

"No wonder they’re unrelenting; the Scorpion Clan is not that simple!"

The Royal Beast Race, an other race separated from their own by differences, and the demon race had sent out their two Thorn Emperors; how much more so for the Scorpion Clan, a race with intricate ties to the demon race.

It was clear that within these short twenty years, the human race had done their utmost to sweep through two major territories of the Scorpion Clan. With the demon race intervening, the outcome was naturally different.

The demon race was excessively prosperous in this era. There might even be an emperor being born, and with their large numbers, they do not fare poorly in battle against the humans, even under the constraints from all sides!

Boom!

This was a vast surge of Qi fluctuation, with divine radiance like the blazing sun. The originally blood-qi shrouded Sky Vault was swept clean by this huge sun, accompanied by resonant heavenly tones, the entire Mountains and Earth trembled!

Opposite the Golden Scorpion Mountain Range, the Defense Line of the Scorpion Clan, the earth cracked open, revealing a Great Rift that spanned ten thousand miles, like the gaping maw of something Evil, ready to swallow Heaven and Earth. The scorching golden light was bursting forth from the Great Rift.

"That monster from the Scorpion Clan has appeared again!"

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Chen heard exclamations from the Human War Soldiers below. He concealed his Qi to the utmost, hid within the Ancient trees, his gaze traversing the Void and peering into the depths of the split Great Rift!

The soaring golden light inexplicably emitted a divine presence, the brilliance coalescing into Divine Runes, manifesting an aura that seemed to transcend ancient foregone eras!

Within the golden light were ancient divine flowers blooming one after another, Divine Runes intertwining, divine flowers spreading – an aura Xiao Chen was extremely familiar with!

Divine Power!

Ancient and vast, endlessly grand, even separated by boundless ages, it still emitted an indescribable shock!

Finally, within the sky-filled golden light, a colossal silhouette materialized, ferocious yet majestic, grandiose yet covered in blood hues – a massive golden scorpion!

Two enormous pincers, each a thousand Zhang long, scales gold yet permeated with traces of blood mist, the entire body standing three thousand Zhang tall, with protruding blood-colored eyes like two Blood Suns!

"We welcome the true manifestation of the Scorpion God!"

"Great Scorpion God, the ruthless humans have slaughtered billions of our Scorpion Race; bestow your divine power, obliterate the humans, and avenge our Scorpion descendants!"

Suddenly, a tidal wave of voices arose from the direction of the Scorpion People, countless Scorpion People prostrating on the ground, vast and fervent, their eyes filled with endless fanaticism.

"Scorpion God!"

In the distant mountains, Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, staring intently at the massive scorpion!

"No, it’s not the true Scorpion God, although it’s filled with endless divine power, this power seems more like water without a source, without origin, and the true Scorpion God had perished in the eras of the Desolate Wilds!"

Soon, Xiao Chen realized that this giant golden scorpion, like an Ancient Mountain, resembled a Dry Corpse, although it seemed flesh-and-blood and filled with divine power.

But its divine power had decayed, seemingly for far too long an epoch!

Yet within this short period, outside the Golden Scorpion Mountain Range, upon the Void, several figures appeared, terrifying and boundless Qi beginning to surge!

"Lowly humans, ever since ancient times, you’ve deceived the heavens to seize the Human Realm, and now you’re still not satisfied, aspiring even to claim the Great Earth where our Scorpion Race thrives. The great descendants of gods will not be eradicated by your human race!"

Soon a muffled voice rose from the Scorpion Clan’s side, a black silhouette covering a patch of the Sky Vault, two huge pincers opening two hundred Zhang wide, bathed in black glimmer, eyes piercing the emptiness like Blood Moons.

This was the only Emperor-level Strong One of the Scorpion Clan, the Blood Pupil Emperor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, this was not the end. Heavy footsteps resounded from afar, and a towering demonic Qi pierced through the Universe, charging towards the human side!

"Demons, cease your arrogance!"

In the center of the Golden Scorpion Mountain Range, a staggering Sword Energy crisscrossed, tearing apart the blood hues, shattering the light column formed by demonic Qi!

"Fu Mountain Sword Saint, just you alone wish to stop me and Blood Pupil, plus the attack of the Scorpion God, is truly delusional!"

In the remote Heaven and Earth, a dark figure stepped over Shan Chuan, each step causing the earth to tremble – an Earth Wandering Dragon!

The head stood a thousand Zhang tall, dense Demonic Qi enveloping its Dragon body, but this wasn’t what caught Xiao Chen’s attention, for atop the head of the Earth Wandering Dragon sat an emaciated figure!

Ps Just two updates for today; I wanted to add another today but the Clan Leader didn’t manage to write it, so it will be postponed to tomorrow for four updates. In the evening, I’ll organize some of the following content.

As for the additional updates, they will be scheduled for the 29th of this month. The Clan Leader needs to build up a backlog of Chapters, and I’ll announce how many updates there will be after I have saved them up!
