Chapter 358: Chapter 316 Celestial Ancestor Emperor’s Decree Emerges_1
Five Ancient Saints, striking together!
They launched an attack toward the barrier in Kirin Valley!
At that moment, within the barrier, a faint sigh suddenly echoed, ancient and hoarse.
With the rise of that sigh, suddenly, atop the barrier, countless glimmers of light circulated, the unique array patterns of the Kirin Clan surged, and a great hand rose to the sky, meeting the attack of the five Saints!
“Boom!”
A massive roar!
In an instant, the Sky Domain almost exploded, space continuously shattered into fragments, and a vacuum-like black hole appeared directly where the two forces clashed.
The power of the Ancient Saints caused the space for ten thousand li to tremble!
The ground thundered, dust and debris churned, and on Linluo Plain, countless black strands of deathly aura surged wildly due to the shockwave.
Within Kirin Valley, there was continuous dust and smoke, and the ground was almost cracking.
And the light screen barrier at the very center of Kirin Valley also dissipated with that terrifying strike!
As the light screen barrier vanished, everyone’s gaze turned toward the inside of the barrier!
They saw within the light screen, there were actually ruins and remnants of walls!
Once ancient temples and halls, turned to ash.
The Supreme throne, split and fragmented, scattered in all directions…
There were the bones of once-mighty beings, strewn around, which, even after a million years, had still not completely decayed.
Beyond the skeletons, within the broken ruins, there were many segments of fractured tree trunks!
Those trunks were immensely thick, so large that one big enough to be embraced by a person, one could imagine, must have been part of an enormous tree in the past, but now, they had all turned to dead wood.
Moreover, on those broken trunks, there lingered a strange mist, merely looking at it for a moment would make one’s heart tremble immensely!
And in the center of a cluster of broken trunks, there was a bare Old Tree Stump!
The Old Tree Stump was not much different in thickness from the surrounding broken trunks, one could imagine that those broken pieces must have once been part of the Old Tree Stump.
Unlike the broken trunks, the Old Tree Stump had a very faint strange mist on it, instead, it was filled with a peaceful aura!
This auspicious energy enveloped a small area of about one meter square.
The Little Kirin hid within this one meter square area, tucking behind the Old Tree Stump, its lively big eyes now looked up at the enemies in the sky, filled with a trace of timidity!
As the screen disappeared, this scene surprised everyone!
“The once Supreme Imperial Clan that proudly stood in the world, now, only ruins and remnants are left, which is lamentable…”
“The Kirin God Tree has actually been destroyed? This is one of the rarest trees between heaven and earth…”
“This is the might of the sun’s calamity, even a Saint Emperor, ultimately, couldn’t protect his own clan…”
Witnessing this scene, everyone felt a trace of sorrow.
The once powerful Great Imperial Clan…
What remained was but silence and nothingness.
The clan’s Divine Tree was destroyed, even the Saint Emperor had fallen in the river of time.
But, above the Sky Vault, the five Ancient Saints remained indifferent!
Their gazes were fixed on that Old Tree Stump, and the Little Kirin beside it!
“A mere Old Tree Stump, still harboring a trace of life?”
The Ancient Saint from the Tian Ying Royal Clan muttered as he observed the Old Tree Stump.
The Ancient Saint from the Green Scale Clan, however, shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and said,
“Merely remnants of some lingering Qi, not long-lasting, soon it will dissipate, and the Kirin God Tree cannot reappear in this world again.”
The Ancient Saint from the Holy Ant Clan also spoke up, saying,
“However, thanks to this not yet completely dead Old Tree Stump, the bloodline of the Kirin Clan has survived… Haha, capturing this Kirin will allow us to investigate many ancient laws of the Kirin Clan, and it could revitalize our own clan!”
However, the two Saints from the Celestial Tribe furrowed their brows!
The Kirin God Tree… destroyed…
What to do now…
It must be understood that their main purpose for coming here was for the Kirin God Tree.
Only by finding the Kirin God Tree, cutting down Kirin Wood, could they rebuild a body for the Ancestor Emperor…
“Let’s take this place first, perhaps those broken woods still have some use.”
Tian Xuan said in a deep voice!
Tianming Ancient Saint also nodded, then stepped forward, his chilly gaze fixed on that Old Tree Stump, and said,
“Just an Old Tree Stump, bearing but a sliver of will, do you seek to defy the heavens? Hand over the Little Kirin, present the main body!”
“Otherwise, annihilation!”
He threatened, as the Saintly Way Law descended, pressing down upon a corner of the world!
At this moment, from within the Old Tree Stump, there issued yet another long and faint sigh.
The next moment, suddenly, the peaceful aura coalesced into a human figure!
It was an elder!
He was hunched over, with white hair and beard, looking sickly as if he could die at any moment, and in the middle of his forehead, there was a wisp of strange grey mist.
Upon the appearance of this elder, the Little Kirin immediately approached, its caring big eyes looking at him, and it called out in a childish voice several times.
A kindly smile appeared on the elder’s face as he looked at the Little Kirin, his old eyes revealing a look of reluctance.
He looked up toward the sky.
“In the past, the Kirin Holy Emperor and the White Tiger Saint Sovereign fought against the calamity of the sun. It was then that the various clans of the Immortal Domain were able to flee and hide in the Secret Places.”
“The two Saint Sovereigns made indelible contributions to the beings of the Immortal Domain. The Kirin and White Tiger Clans, even more so, resisted the sun’s calamity to the last drop of their blood.”
The elder slowly spoke, his gaze sweeping over the five Ancient Saints and continued,
“Now, the Kirin Clan has only its last descendant left… My lords, why must you press so hard? Do you truly have no regard for old bonds?”
Upon hearing this, the five Ancient Saints all remained supremely indifferent!
“It’s truly laughable, the Kirin Holy Emperor of the past was simply foolish, like a moth to the flame, he sought his own destruction. Why should we remember this favor?”
The Saint from the Holy Ant Clan spoke coldly.
“If it were the true spirit of the Kirin God Tree here, we would turn and leave, but you are merely the residual will of a tree spirit, in front of us, you are no more than an ant! Stop this futile resistance, hand over the Kirin offspring, otherwise, death!”
The Green Scale Clan’s Saint spoke with detachment!
“Offer up the young Kirin, follow our clan, and the bloodline of the Kirin will naturally continue!”
The Saint from the Tian Ying Royal Clan was condescending!
The Tian Xuan Saint from the Celestial Tribe sneered and said,
“If the Kirin Clan were to prosper, we naturally would uphold this sentiment.”
“Unfortunately, the Kirin Clan has been annihilated.”
“The strong prey on the weak—now that the Kirin Clan has fallen into decline, they should be prepared to be enslaved and slaughtered by others!”
Ruthless!
This, is the Cultivation World.
This is the way of the Ancient Holy Clans!
Their five auras burst forth in an instant, ready to make their move!
Hearing this, the Old Tree Spirit felt a chill in his heart and said, “All clans pressuring us like this, repaying kindness with animosity, do you not fear that in the veiled workings of the cosmos, there is karma?”
“You’re nothing but a remnant will of a tree spirit, and you dare discuss karma in front of a Saint?”
Tian Xuan took a step forward and shouted, “Submit, or be obliterated!”
The Green Scale Clan’s Saint was even more disdainful, saying, “What’s there to talk about with a lingering tree spirit from an old tree stump? Just annihilate it directly!”
With a wave of his wide sleeve, the Saintly Way storm surged in an instant, rolling down toward the Old Tree Spirit!
“Dust to dust, earth to earth, if the Kirin God Tree has perished, a remaining will of the tree spirit shouldn’t appear again!”
The Tian Ying Royal Clan’s Saint also stepped down, with myriad dao radiance beneath his feet, pressuring the Old Tree Spirit!
Both Tian Xuan and Tian Ming Saints, as well as the Saint from the Holy Ant Clan, struck out fiercely!
Five Saints joining forces!
Above the Sky Vault, a terrifying ocean of the Saintly Way boiled as if enraged!
Vast and boundless, terrifyingly formidable.
The Old Tree Spirit looked up, and in his aged eyes, there was sudden determination!
Suddenly, he transformed into a towering golden ancient tree!
The majestic, golden ancient tree seemed to grow wildly, facing the combined attack of the five mighty beings!
Boom!
A loud noise!
The attack of the five Saints intertwined with the golden giant tree, and in an instant, the tree kept fracturing and collapsing!
An ancient cry of agony as the golden tree’s form scattered!
By the Old Tree Stump, the Old Tree Spirit reappeared, instantly weakened and hunched over, coughing violently!
His condition was very unstable!
After all, he was merely a remnant will from the tree spirit of days past, having the power of a Saint was already extraordinary, but faced with five Saints, he was isolated and powerless!
And above the Sky Vault, the five Saints continued to press forward!
Seeing this scene, the Little Kirin, who had been somewhat timid, suddenly showed urgency in its large eyes. It rushed in front of the Old Tree Spirit and let out a milky roar:
“Ao ao!”
It waved its hooves, with a charm of the Way emerging, and auspicious aura spreading; however, against the five Ancient Saints, it was simply too weak and far from grown!
It couldn’t possibly withstand them!
Seeing this, Wu Dade on the side grew anxious and said,
“Dead Dog, lend a paw!”
But the Big Black Dog simply shook its head and said,
“This tree spirit still has a hidden trump card.”
“Some small fry haven’t jumped out yet, wait a bit more.”
No sooner had it spoken,
than the Old Tree Spirit suddenly looked up, and from his forehead, a Strange Mist began to overflow!
He directly pushed the Little Kirin away, in front of Lin Jiu Zheng!
“…Please… take it away, let it live on…”
He spoke with difficulty, and as his words fell, he howled to the heavens!
“Ah—”
His body suddenly turned into a mass of Strange Mist!
In an instant, amidst the ruins of the Kirin Clan, countless strands of Strange Mist rose violently, devouring towards the five Saints in the sky!
“No good! Is this… Strange Mist?!”
“Impossible…”
“This tree spirit has actually coexisted with the Strange for many years? Not good!”
In a flash, all five Saints shouted in alarm!
They were all shocked and hastily retreated far away!
Because, this kind of grey fog represents the Strange, once contaminated, misfortune will inflict those touched, even Saints cannot endure it.
But the mist engulfed the sky, carrying an indescribable power of the Strange that made it difficult for their Spiritual Power to operate, almost preventing them from escaping!
“Saint Monarch, where are you, please save us urgently!”
Tian Xuan, in a sudden moment, looked up and called out!
Following his cries, deep in the Sky Vault’s hidden depths, a terrifying presence emerged!
A majestic middle-aged man appeared, in a white robe, with a calm and indifferent expression, holding a white Edict in his hands!
“With the Emperor’s command, the Strange shall be pacified. The Celestial Ancestor Emperor’s Decree is here, capable of repressing all evil in the world!”
This middle-aged man spoke icily, taking a step forward with the Edict.
In an instant, the white Edict stood high in the sky, a flood of Holy Emperor’s aura spread from it!
At that moment, it was as if a Great Emperor was on the move, the earth trembled, the Sky Vault shook, the common people shuddered, and myriad beings submitted!
A terrifying might rose to the heavens!
