Lord of the Earth

"How could you barbarian races possibly covet the foundation of our human race?"

Hua Rong's cold voice rang out, accompanied by the release of another arrow that shone with the light of the sun and moon.

The arrow was not a physical object, but an arrow of law formed from the pure ice of the Yin and the scorching heat of the Sun. The moment it left the bowstring, it crossed the void and accurately struck the already cracking divine kingdom of a gargoyle god!

Boom!

The arrow exploded, transforming into a miniature sun and moon. The extreme light and heat, along with the icy power of annihilation, erupted simultaneously, obliterating the divine kingdom along with the countless terrified gargoyle believers within!
"Indeed, you really think you can suppress us forever?"

Ding Xiu let out a triumphant laugh, his battle sword drawing upon the killing intent of his soldiers' formation. With a single slash, he unleashed a thousand-foot-long blade of light, annihilating the half-body of the demigod-level abyssal worm that was attempting to self-destruct, along with its surrounding guards!
The tables have turned; the roles of hunter and prey have been completely reversed!
What was originally considered a terrifying and deadly threat by many forces, the "Human Calamity," has now become the final stepping stone for Qianxia's ascension to the imperial dynasty, and the most abundant and luxurious sacrifice!
"Especially these masterminds, none of them will get away!"

Summer's gaze was icy as it swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the few alien races who had committed the most killings.

One of them, a scorpion-like demon god shaped like a mountain with brown blood flowing from its body, had a black obsidian carapace on its lower body that gleamed coldly, with barbs growing along the edges of each scale. As it moved, it scraped the ground, leaving trails that shimmered with poisonous light. Its upper body was muscular and gnarled like the roots of an old tree, and it held a dark black "poison spear" that looked as if it had been soaked in the blood of countless living beings!
It is indeed—the Scorpion King!
This scorpion-human god is extremely cruel to mortals, feeding on human hearts and using them as sacrifices. He is one of the most ruthless among the so-called "gods".

Its power was indeed terrifying; it was the second alien god to breach the Great Wall of humanity. After the city fell, the poisonous aura emanating from its "poisonous spear," crafted from its own poisonous needles, instantly corroded the souls of all living beings within the city!

Even Lin Chong, the deputy commander of the White Tiger Legion, was poisoned during his battle with it, and the poison spread instantly.

Just as the spear gleaming with black light was about to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Chong, at the critical moment, a figure like a crimson meteor tore through the sky!

A halberd, carrying immense force, clashed violently with the poisoned spear!
clang--! ! !
The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the surging shockwave shattered the surrounding clouds, even leaving cracks in the void.

The newcomer was clad in crimson heavy armor, riding a fiery red steed that seemed to leap through the air. Behind him, a Dragon Soul Battle Banner fluttered wildly. The "Dragon Soul Warrior" who charged out from it carried a soaring killing intent, heading straight for the "Scorpion Clan" army that had stormed into Qianxia with the Demon Scorpion Emperor!
"Ok!"

The Scorpion King's arm, gripping the spear, trembled slightly, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty: "On your body..."

It sensed countless wails and resentments emanating from that scarlet armor imbued with the power of ghosts and gods—the very same resentment that it had once possessed, which it had used to command its followers to slaughter millions of humans, extract their hearts as sacrifices, and forge with its own divine power to create the "Blade of Slaughter"!

Now, those weapons, stained with blood, have not disappeared. Instead, they have all merged into Lü Bu's body, transforming into this "vengeful demon" armor!
"A blood debt...a blood debt!!"

Lu Bu roared, his eyes bloodshot, and his body filled with resentment, as if a million wronged souls were roaring behind him. He raised his halberd again, carrying the power of hatred that could tear everything apart, and slashed at the Demon Scorpion Emperor!
"Arrogant! Merely, a weapon of revenge..."

The Scorpion Emperor roared, his poisonous spear flashing, creating a cloud of poisonous mist. At the same time, his scorpion tail suddenly shot out with lightning speed. But Lu Bu neither dodged nor avoided, his halberd sweeping across, his murderous aura surging like a tide, actually repelling the poisonous mist.

With his other hand, he grabbed the scorpion's stinging tail, roared, and ripped it off!

Dark green divine blood gushed forth, and the Scorpion Emperor roared in agony. Lü Bu spurred his horse forward, his halberd gathering the killing intent of the battlefield and the overwhelming hatred accumulated by humanity, transforming into a crimson arc of light that traversed the heavens and earth—

"die!"

With a single slash, the Scorpion Emperor's sturdy divine armor shattered, and his body was almost split in two.

It staggered backward, fear appearing in its eyes for the first time. The vengeful spirit of humanity was carrying out a belated doomsday judgment!

"Damn it, cunning humans, lowly food, how dare you rebel..."

Meanwhile, the three ancient gods of the Mountain Spirit Clan were at their wits' end, their faces contorted with rage and madness.

The Mountain Spirit Clan mobilized almost its entire force, betting their fate on the entire clan, only to find themselves trapped in a deadly snare by the human race from beginning to end, with no way forward and no way back!

"With the blood of the mountains, let us sacrifice to the soul of our people! Awaken the 'Stone Heart of Our Ancestors'!"

The leading mountain spirit of the clan let out a deafening roar. It and its two companions pounded their chests with their giant fists, spitting out three mouthfuls of divine blood containing immense primordial power. The blood then merged into a huge, rough, dark yellow heart-shaped stone egg that suddenly appeared in the center of them, exuding an ancient and profound aura!
The stone egg throbbed violently, as if some ancient mountain will had been forcibly awakened. A terrifying earth pressure, far surpassing that of the three mountain spirits, spread out, even causing the earth veins of the entire battlefield to tremble!

This is the Mountain Spirit Clan's most treasured forbidden technique, a blood sacrifice using the essence of a deity to briefly awaken a projection of an ancient "Mountain Spirit," possessing immense power.

But the price is equally high; the practitioner will inevitably fall from their cultivation level afterward, or even die from exhaustion!

"Roar!"

The stone pebbles exploded, and a colossal, indistinct yet towering mountain spirit phantom, composed of countless rocks, emerged. It roared silently, carrying the momentum to crush everything, and stomped fiercely towards Zhao Yun, who was leading a massive human army to block him on the newly formed Great Wall!

Wherever it passed, the space seemed to freeze and become heavy.

"Hmph, do you really think I'm no match for you?"

However, Zhao Yun, the commander of the Qianxia Azure Dragon Legion who was originally suppressed and at a disadvantage, suddenly had his aura greatly increased... His figure transformed into a white dragon, and he slammed into the huge "Spirit of the Mountain"!

"Husband, shall I help you?"

At the same time, Ao Qingxin, the female war goddess of the Azure Dragon clan, let out a long roar, perfectly synchronized with Zhao Yun, who had transformed into a white dragon god and whose silver spear moved like lightning. The two's auras merged, and the dragon power and the fighting spirit of the human race resonated, manifesting in the air a magnificent spectacle of an azure dragon roaring proudly in the starry sea and a silver spear firmly establishing the universe!

This is precisely the effect of the "Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Jade" that was created when Xia Tian led the two into the treasure trove left by the "Human Gods" during the union. It allows the two powers to merge briefly and unleash several times their power!
boom!
The dragon spears combined and swept out horizontally.

The three ancient mountain spirits, who were trying to form an array to protect themselves and whose bodies were like mountains, were overwhelmed by the destructive torrent containing the wrath of the Azure Dragon and the martial will of the human race before they could even let out a scream. Their divine bodies were torn apart and vaporized instantly, like ice sculptures thrown into lava.
"There's one more person... Don't run!"

The poet Li Bai wielded the Azure Lotus Sword once more, its sword light swirling as if poems were inscribed in the void, containing the ultimate sharpness to sever cause and effect and annihilate all laws.

The celestial palace behind him, with its "Heavenly Jade Capital, Twelve Towers and Five Cities," solidified even more. His longsword drew upon the power of the Nine Heavens Star River, transforming it into a sword river that stretched across the sky. In an instant, it forced back a deity attempting to tear through space to escape, its sword intent like a lock, firmly pinning the deity to the void. The deity was an old man dressed in a Yin-Yang Tai Chi robe, his aura ethereal and profound!

"I'm just here to observe the ceremony... We're all human, why go to such lengths..."

The old man was filled with shock and anger. He waved his whisk, conjuring yin and yang energies in an attempt to obliterate the sword intent.

"Abandoning humanity and aiding and abetting evildoers deserves to be executed!"

Li Bai shouted coldly, his swordplay becoming increasingly fierce, each strike aimed at the key points in the opponent's Daoist cultivation, forcing him into a sorry state.

"They are from a reclusive sect!"

"Damn it, they actually made their move at this time, trying to take advantage of the chaos..."

Someone recognized the old man's identity; he was none other than a powerful human deity from a hidden sect who had been hiding and making his moves in secret!
Numerous alien gods were slain one by one. The once dazzling divine light in the sky now fell like meteors, crashing onto the earth with final wails, and blood rained down, staining the mountains and rivers.

"Hmph, demons and monsters, they really are no good!"

On the altar, Xia Tian shone with golden light, like a blazing sun piercing through the endless darkness!

Above his head, a scroll stretched for thousands of miles, a manifestation of his divine kingdom after merging with his natal artifact, the "Battle Map of Mountains and Rivers." Mountains, rivers, cities, and people were all clearly visible, and a vast flow of human fortune and faith provided him with boundless power.

It should be understood that although the external deities were strongly suppressed by the national fortune of Qianxia and its many treasures, they could still barely withstand it.

The four god-level dark elves who initially infiltrated the vicinity of the "sacrificial altar" were the ones who truly bore the brunt of Xia Tian's rage and Qian Xia's strongest suppression!

Originally, these dark elves were known for their stealth and assassination skills, making them unpredictable and difficult to guard against.

However, under the all-round illumination of Baiyujing's "Star Array", their figures were completely revealed, leaving them nowhere to hide. Furthermore, they were suppressed by the national fortune of Qianxia, ​​causing their cultivation levels to plummet instantly.

Ang, ang, ang!

In this way, when faced with the "Five-Colored Divine Thunder Dragon" that embodied the entire fortune and wrath of the Qianxia Kingdom in the summer, the thunder dragon, which contained the birth and death of the five elements and the punishment of the heavens, roared past. They couldn't even put up a decent resistance. Their divine bodies were instantly charred black. Even the four divine kingdoms were violently shaken together, with spider web-like cracks appearing on them, and their forms were almost collapsing!
"For the Spider Queen!"

Several divine dark elves, their divine bodies destroyed and only their broken souls remaining, had a look of determination and madness in their eyes, clearly knowing that they were at their wits' end.

They resolutely used their last trump card, burning their last divine essence, and even sacrificed all the remaining believers in their own divine kingdom!
"With my blood and soul as a sacrifice! I beseech the Mother Goddess to descend—Dark Palace, Eternal Imprisonment!"

A majestic, ancient hall phantom, exuding an aura of endless darkness and decadence, suddenly descended, instantly enveloping Xia Tian's figure along with his "Jiangshan War Map" divine kingdom!
The palace was constructed of countless, overlapping, twisted shadows and tormented faces, as if it could devour all light and hope.

In addition, there is the remaining divine power of the four dark elf goddesses.

The immense power of faith generated by the instant sacrifice of billions of believers converged and solidified in the center of the dark hall, forming an enormous and awe-inspiring statue of "Lady Lolth, the Spider Queen"!

After the rules of heaven and earth are unlocked, the power of faith can exert an effect far greater than before.

This sacrifice was unprecedented in scale, and four god-level powerhouses risked their lives to forcibly summon this "Spider Queen Statue," whose power is simply terrifying!
The statue rapidly materialized from the ethereal, its eight enormous, hairy limbs slowly writhing, each hair gleaming with a cold light that seemed to tear apart divine rules.

The upper body is that of a bewitching and evil female form. Her eyes are open, and her cold and ruthless gaze instantly locks onto Xia Tian. The pressure of the true god is so real that it causes the entire area to begin to distort in a way that favors darkness!
"What is that... ah..."

Even just because of a glance.

Some of the Qianxia personnel were shocked to find wisps of black energy emanating from their bodies, a force influencing their physical bodies and even their souls.

Black fuzz appeared on its body, and its shape began to resemble that of a spider!

"This is the incarnation of a true god..."

In the distance, the human warriors engaged in fierce combat felt a chill run down their spines.

It should be understood that the power of a true god is enough to directly alter the rules of heaven and earth. Even if this Spider Queen Rose is merely an avatar, her power far surpasses that of ordinary top-tier gods, and is even enough to crush many so-called supreme gods!

"Hmph, a true god? You think you can run wild in my Qianxia just because you descended from another realm with an avatar?"

However, Xia Tian showed no fear in the face of that suffocating pressure; instead, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

With a thought, he connected with the core of the entire Qianxia faith.

"Comparing faith? My Qianxia God, who has gathered the beliefs of trillions of people, is not necessarily inferior to an incarnation of a true god!"

hum!
Throughout the lands of Qianxia, ​​hundreds of millions of people felt a connection and spontaneously offered prayers. The immense, pure, and powerful force of human faith, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged across the void.

"We respectfully invite the Earth Goddess, who upholds the laws of Heaven, embodies great virtue, and brings glory to the land!"

Behind Xia Tian, ​​a colossal, benevolent, and majestic statue of "Hou Tu Huang Di Qi," embodying the virtues of the earth and the prosperity of humanity, rapidly materialized and appeared!
The statue of Houtu was surrounded by the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Holding ears of rice and a precious pearl, which symbolize abundance and peace, the warm light emanating from it was like a mother's hand, instantly dispelling the coldness and evil spirits in the dark hall, and forcibly smoothing out and canceling out the rule distortion brought by the Spider Queen statue!
Two enormous statues of "true gods" stood facing each other in the sky above Qianxia, ​​dividing the entire sky into two parts.

On one side lies the shadow of darkness, depravity, and all-consuming corruption; on the other, the radiant light of humanity, profound, benevolent, and all-encompassing! (End of Chapter)
