Chapter 788: I’m Injured Too

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The Weapon Ancestor sat down just like that in the middle of a fight. He poured his attention entirely into cultivation and ignored everything happening around him. He cultivated as if there was nobody around him. Even Zhong Yue, who was standing beside him, was completely ignored by him, as if he did not worry about being sneaked up onto by Zhong Yue.

He was an outstanding one. After all, he was once a Creator and to be able to become a Creator requires a solid mentality and qualities far beyond a Deity Emperor.

Zhong Yue, who was standing opposite of Weapon Ancestor, showed no signs of moving as well as he stood there quietly and allowed the Weapon Ancestor cultivated.

Seeing this, Royal Prince Wen Chang frowned right away, and after summoning a heavenly general to him, he ordered, “Get me Tian Xuanzi right now.”

The heavenly general had a scare and he exclaimed, “Tian Xuanzi? That Tian Xuanzi?”

Royal Prince Wen Chang nodded to confirm, “Yes, Tian Xuanzi of the Ju Ling Clan. I fear that the Weapon Ancestor might not be able to stand against this human at all so I figured to have Tian Xuanzi here in case the situation doesn’t become resolved

The heavenly general hesitated for a second and he asked again, “Your highness, the Ju Ling Clan is a sovereign clan and that man down there is just a human. Is it even necessary for us to be so careful?”

Royal Prince Wen Chang, however, stopped explaining anymore and this time, he humphed coldly, “You dare question my decision?”

The heavenly general bowed right away in fear and quickly left with Royal Prince Wen Chang’s order with a puzzled mind.

Then, with a seriousness flickering in his eyes, Royal Prince Wen Chang murmured as he stared at Zhong Yue, “Human? To be able to achieve the innate body, innate Qi and even have a leg up in achieving the innate Dao, he is no ordinary human. He is most probably an innate god that was reborn into the human race! If my instinct is right, Weapon Ancestor is no match for him. But things will be different if Tian Xuanzi is here.”

About ten days later, the heavenly general arrived at the sacred ground where the Ju Ling Clan lived in. In this sacred ground were massive spirits and gods that were cultivating hardly; the spirits of those in the Ju Ling Clan were innate spirits ever since they were born.

The Ju Ling Clan’s members were also incredibly huge, and these giants were known for the raw power hidden in their body and spirit.

They were one of the eight sovereign clans in the ancient times and there was an Earthly Sovereign that came from this clan back in the Earth Order Era. This Earthly Sovereign was the wife of the then Heavenly Monarch from the Fuxi Celestial Race. After the death of the Heavenly Monarch, the Ju Ling Clan stood up against the pressure and became the Earthly Sovereign Heavenly Monarch.

Meanwhile, after the heavenly general entered the sacred ground and notified the guards about his mission here, he was brought into the sacred ground.

Not long later, he was greeted by a giant that dwarfed him like an ant. This giant looked down onto the ground at this heavenly general and said, “Your Highness made you come here, why?”

Upon being stared at by this giant, the heavenly general felt the pressure on his shoulders intensified right away and he lost his mind completely; Tian Xuanzi was a god that has yet to ascend into a Heavenly Deity but even so, Tian Xuanzi appeared to be undefeatable in his eyes, which was terrifying because the heavenly general was a Heavenly Deity himself.

Besides, to be able to serve Royal Prince Wen Chang, this heavenly general was definitely a capable one; he had opened all of his secret realms and achieved the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and even among the other Heavenly Deity, he was one that stood at the top. Yet, he was being oppressed by non-Heavenly Deities now.

While he felt embarrassed and unhappy about being oppressed by a non-Heavenly Deity, he no longer felt superior to Tian Xuanzi and he quickly passed Royal Prince Wen Chang’s message and said, “The human is a tough nut to crack. He’s achieved the innate body and Qi so Royal Prince Wen Chang wanted you to be there just in case the Weapon Ancestor is not his opponent.”

Tian Xuanzi frowned upon this, “Human? More like a reborn innate god. What a joke, how could there be someone like this among the humans? It is perfectly understandable that the Weapon Ancestor is no match for him and if Weapon Ancestor can’t win, I probably wouldn’t as well. I’m not going!”

Right away, bitterness crept onto the heavenly general but an old voice swept through the scene, “Tian Xuanzi, the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is no longer the Heavenly Monarch’s favorite. This is no secret to the Heavens. Since Royal Prince Wen Chang invited you over to deal with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s disciple, you should just go to show your support and loyalty to Heavenly Monarch.”

Tian Xuanzi, however, did not buy this and he replied with a sneer, “Loyalty? Our Ju Ling Clan is one of the eight sovereign clans! Yielding to him will only put shame on our ancestors that will never be washed away! My loyalty is only to the Earthly Sovereign Heavenly Monarch from our own clan!”

“How dare you! If I say so, you do so!”

Shouted the angered old voice, “We are no longer in the Earth Order Era now and out of the eight sovereign clans, only seven of us are still alive. Which of us are in a very good situation? Just go and at least pretend to show your support for the sake of the Ju Ling Clan!”

Tian Xuanzi grumbled as he forcefully brought himself to agree with them and he said, “Fine, I’ll come with you, lead the way.”

The bitterness in the heavenly general cleared away right away and he quickly brought Tian Xuanzi to the scene.

On the other side, Weapon Ancestor’s presence surged as days passed and after about ten days later, his presence triggered a storm and his Qi reached all the way up into the skies while supernatural phenomenal emerged behind him; an endless wave of conjured weapons appeared all over around the skies, spears, swords, pikes, sabers, halberds, club, daggers, zithers, bells, jade seals, and many more.

These were all formed by his totem patterns that were almost on par with a Creator’s ability to create things out of thin air!

This was all because of his previous life, where he was a Creator. In this life, he possessed the knowledge and experience as a Creator, but he was limited by his own strength, but even so, everyone was awestruck by what he did.

Apart from that, everyone present felt that their divine weapons were resonating with the Weapon Ancestor and they were about to lose control!

“Weapon Ancestor is really impressive!”

Everything was just a sign that the Weapon Ancestor was about to ascend into a god.

However, Weapon Ancestor was driven into cultivation; if it was on the usual times, he would have carefully cultivated himself to prevent any mistakes that would make him regret but now, he had no choice but to ascend to the next level for his people.

The pride and honor of their race would be irrevocably besmirched if Zhong Yue really did stand here for three months.

Fortunately for him, with his rich experience and knowledge, he minimized the negative effect of rushing his cultivations, leaving him able to repair the temporary damage in the future.

Meanwhile, when the heavenly general and Tian Xuanzi arrived at the scene, he murmured when he saw this. “So the battle is about to begin? I’ve been away for 26 days and it’s four more days to a month.”

“What the hell do you know?”

Tian Xuanzi scolded with a cold grin, “The Weapon Ancestor was fighting for these four days by advancing early.”

The heavenly general’s question was answered as Tian Xuanzi explained, “You are really stupid. After ascending into a god, the Weapon Ancestor will not be able to get used to his new state and his cultivation level is not really steady yet, thus, he needed these four days for him to familiarized himself with his new power. Your knowledge is puny and I only need one move to kill you.”

The heavenly general was angered right away but he dare not show his anger.

“Tian Xuanzi, you’re here at long last!” said and welcomed Royal Prince Wen Chang after seeing Tian Xuanzi.

Tian Xuanzi closed in to him with just a step and he said, “Your Highness, I was forced to come here by my old man. He said that we Ju Ling Clan will forever be loyal to the Heavenly Monarch but I cannot guarantee that I will fight.”

Royal Prince Wen Chang frowned right away and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Simple, if there is a chance of winning, I will fight but if it is a one-sided battle, I will not.”

Royal Prince Wen Chang was speechless at this giant and he said, “So this is how you show your loyalty? Fine, suit yourself.”

Tian Xuanzi then looked at Zhong Yue and showed his great interest in the human.

Zhong Yue turned around upon feeling his gaze. He smiled back at Tian Xuanzi, while Tian Xuanzi responded in kind before the two of them turned away from each other.

“His soul is very strong, it’s no doubt an innate Yuan Shen.”

“Innate Yuan Shen!”

Royal Prince Wen Chang had a fright and he exclaimed, “A reborn innate god?”

Tian Xuanzi shook his body, creating loud rumbling noise and said, “His Yuan Shen is as strong as mine, his innate body in on par with my innate body I achieved through cultivating it with the destructive power of innate thunder waves. This human is undoubtedly a tough one. There are fewer than a hundred gods that can compete with him. The disciples of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian were usually just frauds. Only his own children are the strongest, where did this guy come from?”

As they spoke, Weapon Ancestor got up from the ground and clapped. With just a clap, the gods of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race presented countless divine herbs to the Weapon Ancestor who then consumed them all.

Another few hundred heavenly gods then got up. Each of them wielded a massive hammer while the Weapon Ancestor relaxed himself before these gods hammered his body, psyche ocean, and Yuan Shen!

Dang dang dang—

The gods helped Weapon Ancestor to refine his body, enhanced his psyche and polished his Yuan Shen, helping him to strengthen his base.

After a day, a Deity Overlord walked out with a fiery blazing furnace. The Weapon Ancestor then dove it and tempered himself within.

The Deity Overlord circled around the furnace and flicked Dao markings into the furnace. The fire in the furnace blazed even stronger.

Another Deity Overlord got up with a basket of crystal clear water. This bucket of water was the Mystic Yin Divine Water and it turned into a giant lake in the hands of the Deity Overlord.

Weapon Ancestor reforged himself in the furnace for about an hour and he leaped into the water to further refine his body and Yuan Shen before jumping back into the furnace again.

He repeated at least nine times and after the two Deity Overlords removed the furnace and water, tens of more heavenly gods swarmed towards the Weapon Ancestor, who then conjured all sorts of divine weapons to fend himself off to polish his skills.

Finally, four days later, when the deadline arrived, the gods returned back to their places.

The Weapon Ancestor then looked at Zhong Yue and said, “Please!”

Zhong Yue nodded back, “Please!”

With a roar, the Weapon Ancestor plunged at Zhong Yue with the six light wheels spinning behind his head and the totem Dao flying out. In an instant, the divine weapons dangling on the waist and back of the gods around the scene went into a rampage as these weapons sliced apart their masters’ secret realms and flew towards Weapon Ancestor!

Those gods from the Zhu Shi Celestial Race did not even dare to interfere and instead, they let go of their weapons and had them fully placed under theWeapon Ancestor’s control.

Just how scary and marvelous was a scene where countless divine weapons flew up into the skies and rained down again?

Under the Weapon Ancestor’s control, these divine weapons erupted with power much stronger than before. The combined power of the countless weapons twisted the dimension and shattered them all before charging at Zhong Yue!

“Halt!”

An innate ray flashed across Zhong Yue’s forehead and suddenly, an unseen force field spread across the front, bringing all the divine weapons to a half!

“The innate force field created from the innate inner core?”

Tian Xuanzi laughed and said, “The result is obvious now, the Weapon Ancestor has lost.”

Meanwhile, the Weapon Ancestor leaped into the air and charged at Zhong Yue with relentless force. While in the air, the Weapon Ancestor’s body transformed and he turned into a sharp and heavy sword that slashed towards Zhong Yue!

Zhong Yue rammed his fist towards the sword’s tip and after a loud explosion rang out, Zhong Yue connected with a barrage of punches. In just a split second, he had rained down a flurry of punches directly at the sword’s tip.

After about ten punches or so, the divine sword vanished and was replaced by Weapon Ancestor who was sent flying away with blood gushing out his mouth.

“The innate body is so damn strong!” shouted an excited Tian Xuanzi.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue looked at his slightly bleeding fists before looking at the pale-faced Weapon Ancestor, “Don’t be so disappointed, you managed to injure me too.”
