Chapter 1120: I Don’t Want Such Allies (Second Update)
The Ancient God of Earthly Soil was a being with a human face, tiger paws, and a dog’s body, its mouth bristling with fangs, and a long cyan tail behind it, split into nine tails. It sat on an altar, indulging in pleasure, watching singing and dancing.
Around it stood celestial soldiers and generals in tight formation, guards on high alert, while below, celestial maidens played string and wind instruments, their songs melodious and their dances graceful.
Those celestial maidens had lithe figures, wearing minimal clothing that barely covered their modesty. They danced before the crowd, their movements extremely provocative.
The Ancient God of Earthly Soil and a host of divine generals laughed heartily. Growing excited, the Ancient God raised his wine cup—a bronze tripod vessel as tall as a man, with little wine left inside.
The Ancient God of Earthly Soil reached out, grabbed a celestial maiden who was singing and dancing, squeezed her tightly, and wrung her out, pressing all her divine blood into the cup. He drank it down in one gulp!
The celestial maiden had already lost her breath, and he casually discarded her.
Outside the Ancestral Land of Earthly Soil, Qin Mu witnessed this scene. He took out the Lapis Lazuli Canopy, stepped back a few paces, then suddenly sprinted forward at full speed. As he ran, he hurled the Lapis Lazuli Canopy into the Ancestral Land of Earthly Soil!
Boom—
The Lapis Lazuli Canopy’s speed surpassed sound, quickly reaching a hundred or ten times that velocity. The jade pillar of its handle carried flames as it pierced into the Ancestral Land of Earthly Soil, unfurling its canopy as it flew rapidly!
Behind the Lapis Lazuli Canopy, Qin Mu’s speed was no slower. He charged forward with his head down, his hand pressing on the hilt of his broken sword.
Whoosh—
The man and the treasure shot through the earthly sha energy outside the Ancestral Land of Earthly Soil like lightning. Even the gods and demons guarding within the sha energy of Northern Xuan Province didn’t catch a glimpse of them before they vanished in a flash.
The Lapis Lazuli Canopy passed through one divine palace after another, arriving at the altar in an instant, aimed straight at the heart of the Ancient God of Earthly Soil!
The Ancient God of Earthly Soil reacted swiftly, reaching out and grabbing the jade pillar of the Lapis Lazuli Canopy, shouting, “Who dares to act recklessly?”
The twenty-eight heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Canopy unfurled, expanding outward.
The Ancient God of Earthly Soil watched in horror as his own body was lifted high, sent into the first heaven, far from the altar.
Just as the twenty-eight heavens burst outward, a sword light flew in. The Ancient God of Earthly Soil’s massive pupils reflected that sword light, which grew larger and larger in his vision. With a tremor, the sword light transformed into thirty-three heavens.
His body was struck by the sword, and the thirty-three heavens expanded outward. Despite his incredibly powerful physique, which he strained to suppress the sword light, the might of the thirty-three-heaven sword path represented sword techniques imprinted across thirty-three layers of void.
Even considering the Ancient God of Earthly Soil’s own Dao cultivation, he had never comprehended his own Dao to the level of thirty-three layers of void.
Though his cultivation was extremely strong, his magical power vast, and his understanding of his own Dao unmatched, once his Dao was broken and his depth of Dao comprehension fell short of his opponent’s, his physical body could not withstand the thirty-three-heaven sword path.
His body was split into thirty-four parts. Thirty-three parts rose from below, evolving into various heavens, with mountains and rivers stretching vast and boundless.
His head flew up, and along with it came Qin Mu’s figure, his left hand imprinting a palm strike on the Ancient God’s brow.
Observing the Four Poles from the Heavenly River.
Around the Ancient God of Earthly Soil’s head, a heavenly river emerged, connecting the four polar heavens. On each of the four polar heavens appeared the Dao forms of the ancient gods Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, combining their power in a single strike that blasted into his brain.
The Ancient God of Earthly Soil’s three souls shattered, and he died on the spot.
Outside, Yu Chudu, Dragon Qilin, and the others waited anxiously. Qin Mu had suddenly abandoned them and charged alone into the Ancient God of Earthly Soil’s ancestral land, causing them no small worry.
Just then, a massive head flew out from the earthly sha energy, crashed to the ground, and rolled a few times.
“Let’s go. On to the next ancient god’s ancestral land.” Qin Mu emerged from the earthly sha energy, speaking softly.
Dragon Qilin quickly followed him, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Sect Leader, you’ve already killed two ancient gods. If you keep going, aren’t you afraid of offending Heaven Duke and Earth Lord? Heaven Duke and Earth Lord are also ancient gods; they’ll sympathize with their own kind. Seeing you slaughter all the ancient gods here might create some resentment.”
Qin Mu stopped in his tracks and said, “Can Heaven Duke and Earth Lord control these ancient gods? They can’t, and they never have. These ancient gods are two-faced, clinging to the Heavenly Court, enjoying power and status, feeding on living beings, yet dreaming that I could make them immortal and indestructible, overthrowing the Heavenly Court to return to the barbaric ancient era! In my camp, there is absolutely no place for such things!”
Dragon Qilin said, “Even so…”
“I don’t want such allies!”
Qin Mu said coldly, “The reason the Dragon Han Revolution failed was that demigods replaced the ancient gods, with no real change! If Eternal Peace joins forces with these ancient gods, even if we overthrow the Heavenly Court in the future, nothing will change!”
Dragon Qilin hesitated: “What if Heaven Duke and Earth Lord don’t understand?”
“They must understand. They are gods born from the Dao, different from these sacrificial ancient gods.”
Qin Mu strode forward, saying, “Dao-born ancient gods are fundamentally different from those born of sacrifice. Sacrificial ancient gods were born carrying the evil thoughts of the ancient creators and can never change. Heaven Duke and Earth Lord will understand my decision.”
Dragon Qilin said no more.
The gods and demons in the Ancestral Land of White Soil were in chaos for a time after the Ancient God of White Soil’s death, but they quickly calmed down and rushed to the ancestral lands of the other ancient gods to report the news.
At the same time, three gods and demons flew toward the Three Pillar Heavens to inform the ancient gods there.
White Soil in Ji Province was the center of the nine provinces, with the shortest and fastest routes to the other eight provinces. Still, it would take them three to five days to reach the ancestral lands of each province.
One of the demon gods sped toward the southern Ang Province, bursting into the ancestral land of the Ancient God of Deep Soil of Ang Province, wailing, “Great Ancestor of Deep Soil, avenge us! The Ancestor of White Soil was assassinated!”
The Ancient God of Deep Soil was enraged upon hearing this, slamming the table and shouting, “Who is so bold? How dare they kill my sworn brother?”
That demon god said, “We didn’t see clearly, nor hear any sound. The Ancestor of White Soil just lost his life…”
“Useless trash!”
The Ancient God of Deep Soil was furious and immediately gave orders, shouting, “Mobilize the entire army! Follow me to White Soil Divine Province and see who dares to be so audacious!”
Half a day later, the army of gods and demons set out. The Ancient God of Deep Soil sat in the center of the camp, surrounded by thousands of gods and demons arrayed in formation.
The Ancient God of Deep Soil felt a vague unease, thinking, “To be able to kill my sworn brother White Soil, this person’s skill must be extraordinary. If I go recklessly, I might fall victim as well. But now, protected by this army with strict formations, even an ordinary Imperial Seat expert won’t be able to get close…”
At that moment, the Lapis Lazuli Canopy descended from the sky. Its twenty-eight heavens unfurled, and every formation crumbled, vanishing without a trace!
After a moment, the twenty-eight heavens disappeared, and everything returned to normal. The Lapis Lazuli Canopy rose as a beam of cyan light, vanishing into the white clouds above.
As the canopy disappeared, the soldiers returned to their positions, as if they had never moved.
Everyone quickly looked, and saw the Ancient God of Deep Soil sitting there, unmoving, his hands still gripping the armrests of his throne, but his head was already gone!
