Lord of the Earth

boom! boom! boom!
The three divine weapon projections, forcibly suppressed and imprisoned by the "Battle Map of the Land and Mountains," struggled violently like enraged primordial beasts, their divine light flashing wildly as they tried to break free from the constraints of the Xuanhuang scroll representing the will of the Qianxia Mountains and Rivers. They even emitted sharp cries for help from the darkness, piercing through layers of space!
"presumptuous!"

"Insanity!"

"court death!"

The next moment, three magnificent roars, imbued with boundless rage, seemed to emanate from the heavens above and were like world-destroying thunderclaps.

hum!hum!hum!
The projections of the three divine weapons suddenly burst forth with unprecedented light!
On the Blazing Heaven Sword, crimson flames burned the sky, condensing into a divine phantom standing on a crimson dragon, surrounded by world-burning flames, with a blurred face yet overwhelming majesty!
The Xuanming Water Control Banner surged with black water, transforming into a colossal divine figure shrouded in dark water light, its eyes like a deep abyss vortex that devours everything, its aura cold and deathly still!

The Earth element of the Zhenyue Seal shone brightly, condensing into a majestic phantom of a deity wearing an imperial robe, standing on the primordial earth, carrying a towering divine mountain on his back, and exuding an aura of suppressing eternity!
"An avatar of a god?"

Summer's gaze is like lightning, instantly discerning the essence of things.

This is the complete activation of the "weapon spirit" formed by a will differentiated from a deity within the "natal divine weapon". Although it is not the original body, it is enough to bear about 50% of the original body's divine power, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary divine projections.

"A newly promoted minor god, relying on a bit of luck, dares to arrogantly suppress us?"

"Today I will extinguish your divine fire and sever your lineage!"

The crimson dragon beneath the feet of the Fire God roared, its flames of burning the world transforming into a raging torrent of fire that engulfed heaven and earth; the Xuanming God pressed down with his giant hand, and the dark Xuanming Dead Water transformed into a vortex of returning to nothingness that devoured all things; the Wutu God, carrying the phantom of the divine mountain on his back, slammed down with the supreme gravity that suppressed all heavens onto the Jiangshan Battle Map that covered the sky!

It's the same divine artifact, but now that it's being personally activated by the "divine avatar," its power is more than doubled!

"The nation and its people will remain forever!"

Summer's gaze was slightly serious, but she showed no fear.

My destined divine weapon?

As gods, do you think anyone wouldn't have one?

As a "miracle of heaven and earth," the Jiangshan Battle Map is undoubtedly of a higher grade than these three divine weapons.

Summer's thoughts resonated with the battle map of the land, and he uttered a low murmur.

"The battle map is being conceived, and the divine position is being manifested!"

Om-!
The "landscape painting scroll" formed from the Jiangshan Battle Map suddenly became solid from its illusion, and the internal space surged, with a dazzling divine light shining from the depths of the scroll!

This extraordinary object of heaven and earth had long been refined by Xia Tian into a "profound and yellow artifact". Not only does it contain the operation of mountains and rivers, but it also nurtures several "deities" based on various natural treasures, divine weapons and sacred objects!
On the east side of the painting, a golden sun rose into the sky, radiating boundless light. A phantom of the "Sun God," clad in golden armor and wielding a flaming wheel, stepped out from the sun, his body flowing with the magnificent laws of the celestial sun!

To the west, a crescent moon hangs high, its clear light shining down. A phantom of a "moon goddess" dressed in a plain dress, holding a moon disc in her palm, stands there, embodying the laws of tides and tranquility.

In the center of the scroll, amidst a dense array of stars, a phantom of a "Star God" clad in a star-patterned robe and holding an astrolabe appears, invoking the laws of celestial power!

The divine phantoms born from the three battle diagrams of the sun, moon, and stars appeared together, echoing the phantoms of mountains and rivers in the scroll. They emerged from the painting and went straight to meet the divine spirits formed by the three "natal artifacts" of the Tai Xuan Sect's founder.

"A raging inferno? Behold my glorious sun!"

The illusory image of the Sun God spun its fiery wheel, and ten thousand feet of golden flames surged upwards, colliding violently with the world-burning fire of the Li Huo clone! The golden flames were the primordial fire born from the battle diagram, which was specifically designed to counter external evil fires. They actually made the torrent of Li Huo sizzle and retreat inch by inch!

"The Dark Netherworld Dead Water? Let's test the power of the tides!"

The illusory image of the moon goddess lightly raised the moon wheel, and its clear light transformed into a silvery tide. It seemed gentle but carried the power of "birth and death, cycle and rebirth". The moment it collided with the vortex of the void, the stagnant water was actually drawn by the tide and rolled back towards the Xuanming clone, forcing it to retreat repeatedly!

"Suppressed by the sacred mountain? Then we'll meet it with the Star Peak!"

The illusory star chart of the Star God rotated, and the power of the stars in the heavens condensed into a "Star Mountain" forged from starlight, which collided fiercely with the illusory divine mountain that was smashed down by the avatar of the Earth God!

Although Xingyue is not as imposing as Shenshan, it contains the dynamic laws of "Zhou Tian Zhuan Lun" (the circulation of the universe). Every collision causes the illusory image of Shenshan to tremble and its laws to become disordered!

The Sun God opposes the Fire of Li, the Moon God resists the Dark Netherworld, and the Star God blocks the Earth of Wu!

Although these deities, born from the Jiangshan War Map, are merely phantoms, they are connected to the origin of the War Map and, with the blessing of Qianxia's fortune, are evenly matched with the three deity avatars!

The sea of ​​fire was suppressed by the golden flames, the stagnant water was devoured by the tide, and the divine mountain was blocked by the star peak. The three attacks were locked in a stalemate in the sky above the battle map, almost causing the space to collapse. The roar shook the heavens and the earth!

"What?! What kind of battle plan is this?! It can even give birth to gods?!"

"Could it be an unparalleled divine weapon?"

"How could a mere lower-level dynasty possess a peerless divine weapon?"

The three avatars were simultaneously shocked and enraged. They had never imagined that a dynasty of destiny in the lower realm would possess such profound resources and such supernatural powers.
Although the conceived deity was not a true god, its laws were pure and refined. When combined with the operation of the battle diagram, it made it impossible for their attacks to make any progress!

Xia Tian stood in front of the battle map, and seeing that it was as stable as Mount Tai, his eyes shone even brighter.

This is the true power of the Jiangshan Battle Map—it is not only a weapon for defense and attack, but also a "mobile divine kingdom" that can nurture divine positions and form its own order!
With a wave of his hand, the rivers in the battle diagram surged and the mountains rose up, merging with the power of the three gods of the sun, moon and stars, and actually began to suppress the three clones!
The world-burning flames gradually died down amidst the golden fire, the vortex of returning to nothingness was completely dispersed by the tide, and the phantom of the divine mountain was riddled with cracks from the impact with the star peak. The auras of the three divine avatars became disordered, and their phantom images became blurred, clearly indicating that they had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"Impossible! I should be invincible..."

The Fire Clone roared and tried to burn its source to fight back, but was covered by the golden flames of the Sun God. With a "poof", the phantom was burned and disintegrated!

"Not good! All saints, quickly offer your devotion and assist our ancestor in unleashing the power of the divine kingdom!"

On the ground, the faces of the heavily injured woman in red and the old man in black changed drastically, their voices echoing across the battlefield.

Three thousand "saints" of the Tai Xuan Sect were already prepared, and upon hearing the order, they chanted fervently: "Ancestral Master above, the wondrous methods of the Xuanmen Sect, pervading the Three Realms! Disciples respectfully invite the divine kingdom to descend!"

hum!
One after another, pure and powerful beams of light, imbued with absolute devotion, shot into the sky.

This time, the pillar of light did not condense divine shadows to empower divine weapons, but directly pierced through the void, as if building three bridges of faith to connect the "heavens beyond the heavens"!

boom! boom! boom!
Three enormous, ethereal "divine kingdoms," glowing crimson, dark blue, and earthen yellow, appeared in the void. The serpent, meanwhile, descended with a thunderous roar and solidified!
Its sheer size and the condensation of its laws far surpass those of the past!
The Nine Heavens of Gods, each a world in itself, the true form of the divine kingdom is actually a "heaven beyond heaven" suspended above the network of rules of the Eternal Land. At this moment, it is drawn down by the power of the saints' faith, and an even more magnificent projection of its origin descends!
What's even more chilling is that, in front of this divine kingdom, three figures stood in mid-air!

At the summit of Mount Lihuoshen, a middle-aged deity with a majestic face, clad in fiery armor, stood with his hands behind his back, his blazing fire melting even the void!

Above the Xuanming Deep Sea, an old man shrouded in black water had a sinister look in his eyes, and countless souls floated and wailed around him.

At the summit of the sacred mountain of Wutu, an old man dressed in imperial robes sat on a stone chair, and with each breath he took, the earth trembled.

These were the three founders of the Tai Xuan Sect, the true divine beings, who descended along with the divine kingdom!
"We came from beyond the heavens, intending to retrieve our sect's disciples, yet you dare to destroy my avatar and suppress my divine weapon? Today, we will raze your Qianxia to the ground as a warning to others!"

The voice of the Earth Ancestor was as loud as a bell, and the power of the divine kingdom pressed down with a thunderous roar!
In an instant, the northern border region of the Wall transformed into a true hell.

The Fire God Kingdom's laws of fire burned the sky, scorching the earth until it cracked and turned black; the Death Water God Kingdom's laws of death froze life, even the air itself condensed into ice; the Earth God Kingdom's laws of gravity suddenly surged a hundredfold, causing the city walls to groan under the unbearable weight, and the soldiers to creak under the pressure!

The oppressive force of the three real divine kingdoms descending was a thousand times stronger than the previous projections.

Its overwhelming power caused the space to shatter like fragile glass, and the laws of nature to wail and recede. At this moment, the Northern Wall seemed to be in the eye of an apocalyptic storm!
Even the illusory image of the "human divine kingdom" transformed from the Jiangshan Battle Map, under the crushing force of these three divine kingdom projections that were originally high in the "sky," was like an isolated island in a raging sea. Its light was suppressed to the limit, the scroll trembled violently, and even illusory cracks began to appear on its edges.

The landscape within was suddenly crumbling, and even some of the "deities" within were losing their footing.

"You lot are truly useless. You can't even conquer a mere lower realm kingdom?"

Ancestor Xuanming exuded an aura of gloom.

"It seems that this ruler has already ascended to the status of a god, and his natal artifact is extraordinary... In that case, it's understandable!"

The Earth Ancestor was rather "amiable".

"A newly ascended god dares to destroy the foundation of my natal divine weapon... Well then, take yours!"

The voice of the Fire Ancestor was filled with icy killing intent, and the power of the divine kingdom projection was even stronger. Facing these three incomparably powerful "hidden sect ancestors", the divine fire in Xia Tian's eyes burned even more fiercely!

"My people, my kingdom... are my strongest divine weapons and the most vast foundation of my divine kingdom!"

"The fortunes of Qianxia, ​​heed my command!"

He formed a hand seal, communicating with the vast river of destiny that enveloped the entire dynasty!
Boom!

Throughout the entire Qianxia Dynasty, the territory spanning millions of miles was shaken. Hundreds of millions of people felt the impact. No matter where they were or how high or low their cultivation level was, they all spontaneously turned their hearts toward the capital and the Emperor!
The overwhelming faith and willpower... suddenly transformed into an endless torrent of fortune, ignoring space and traversing distances, frantically converging above the Northern Wall!
"hold head high--!!!"

A dragon's roar, more majestic and sacred than before, seemingly originating from the very bloodline of humanity, tore through the suppression of the divine kingdom's projection.

A majestic dragon, ten times larger than before and with scales shimmering with seven-colored light, soared into the sky from the boiling ocean of fortune.

This is not merely the "spirit of Qianxia's destiny," but also carries the purest and most fervent "human spirit" of Qianxia's hundreds of millions of people. On the dragon's body, it seems to reflect the hustle and bustle of the city streets, the sweat of farming in the fields, the sound of reading in the school, and the sparks of craftsmen forging... It is the myriad aspects of human life, the vast world of mortals!
The moment the seven-colored dragon appeared.

The three lofty and cold projections of the "Heavenly Kingdom" seemed to have been splashed with scalding lava, emitting a hissing sound!

On the surface of the divine kingdom's illusory image, the divine light symbolizing the stability of the rules began to be eroded and dissolved by the seven-colored glow containing the warmth of human life!
"what?!"

"This true dragon, formed from the essence of destiny?! It can actually corrode the foundation of our divine kingdom?!"

For the first time, the three avatars of the patriarchs showed unbelievable horror!

They actually felt that their connection with the divine kingdom was being interfered with and weakened by a "filthy" and "scorching" force!
"You reclusive sects, who consider yourselves superior and detached from worldly affairs, regarding the mundane world as dust and the suffering of the mortal realm as the chirping of ants... how could you possibly understand the power contained within the mundane world?"

"Protection? Inheritance? Ha... When you shut your mountain gates and cut off all contact with the human world, only knowing how to absorb faith and offerings and pursue your own immortality, have you ever thought about the suffering of the human world? Have you ever thought that this vast world is the fertile ground that nurtures the indomitable will of our human race?"

"It is precisely these myriad aspects of human life, the hustle and bustle of the marketplace, the sweat in the fields, the sound of reading in the classrooms... the most ordinary yet most fervent 'human touch' of hundreds of millions of people that have gathered into a mighty force capable of shaking down your 'heavenly divine kingdom'! This is the fundamental reason why our human ancestors chose the 'path of destiny'—to live with the people and share the fate of the nation, only then can we achieve eternity!"

"Seclusion? Avoiding disaster? It's nothing but drawing a circle around yourself, cutting yourself off from the long river of human destiny! Today's defeat is not a fault of war, but a tragedy of you betraying the foundation of humanity and forgetting your roots!"

Summer's words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every member of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Zhenwu Zhenren's face turned pale and his lips trembled. Even some of his disciples were shaken in their hearts and faith!

"shut up!"

"How dare a mere mortal god spread falsehoods and mislead the masses!"

The three founders of the Tai Xuan Sect changed their expressions drastically and simultaneously rebuked them.

"May humanity prosper forever, and may the divine ruler govern the world!"

However, Xia Tian gave a cold smile.

The next moment, amidst the surging seven-colored aura of Qianxia, ​​an even more majestic and sacred figure slowly materialized! He wore a dragon-embroidered imperial robe, a flat-topped crown, and his face was shrouded in endless faith.

Although its specific details are unclear, it exudes an unparalleled majesty that governs humanity, bestows titles upon gods, and establishes the order of the universe.

It was the condensation of the will of the Qianxia Dynasty and the beliefs of the people that gave birth to another spirit of destiny—the Human Race God-King!
The illusory figure of the human god-king stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with the seven-colored true dragon! The god-king raised his hand and pointed at the three crumbling projections of the divine kingdom!
"The smoke and fire of the mortal world can scorch the bones of the gods; the vast expanse of the mortal realm can shake the divine kingdom! Fall!"

The seven-colored dragon then let out a roar that shattered eternity, carrying a seven-colored radiance that burned away the will of gods and demons, and its body crashed violently into the projection of the Blazing Hell!

The human god-king's finger transformed into an invisible and intangible "light of breaking the law," which contained a torrent of beliefs from billions of humans, and pierced fiercely into the core law nodes of the Xuanming Dead Sea and the Primordial Divine Mountain!

Rumble——! ! !
Heaven and earth fell silent, and all things lost their color!
Wherever the seven-colored rays of light passed, the flame laws of the "Fire Purgatory" were like encountering their nemesis, and quickly extinguished and collapsed!
As the light of the breaking law pierced through, the deathly laws of the "Xuanming Dead Sea" were shattered by the surging torrent of humanistic beliefs. Even the "Primordial Divine Mountain," known for its stability, was also powerfully shaken, and the mountain emitted a loud cracking sound as it could not bear the weight!
Under the combined attack of the Seven-Colored True Dragon and the Human God-King, the light of the Triple Divine Kingdom dimmed rapidly, its phantom image twisted violently, and cracks spread across its entire body like a spider web.

The three divine kingdoms high above the heavens were actually shaken by this immense power originating from the mortal realm! (End of Chapter)
