Lord of the Earth

"How can it be!"

"This human race, even though they haven't officially stepped into the third heaven yet, has managed to make this imperial prince feel threatened..."

The three-legged golden crow's crimson eyes suddenly contracted, revealing a look of surprise and uncertainty for the first time.

However, his identity is that of an "Imperial Prince".

He is a descendant of the former master of the "Golden Crow Immortal Court"!
When the human race, with the support of the gods, and the demon race's Golden Crow Celestial Court were breached by the human race, they were able to survive because they were still outside...

Later, after learning of the break between humanity and the gods, and the gods' attack on the "First Celestial Court of Humanity".

Overjoyed, it led its former followers, the Golden Crow Clan, in an attempt to "restore its power"...

Unexpectedly, at the brink of extinction, humanity was willing to perish together with the gods, sealing the entire Celestial Court at the cost of the "annihilation of the souls and spirits" of over 100,000 deities...

If it weren't for having a powerful trump card, they might have already perished.

And now, having just broken free from the seal, he has encountered this human god again?

Could it be a battle between the gods and humans?

Did it ultimately end in a human victory? And now, are humans beginning their reckoning?

"Is it only because the fortunes of all the heavens converge on the human race that such human prodigies have emerged?"

It stared intently at Li Bai's seemingly casual figure, sensing the terrifying sword intent that was both detached from worldly affairs and yet sharp and piercing.

Normally, the difference between each level of a deity is enormous, and beings below the third level would find it difficult to cause any real harm to a deity in its prime.

Just like the "Baize Army" led by Qin Liangyu.

Although he managed to "decompose" and "deflect" his own True Solar Fire in some way by relying on the wisdom and power left behind by the Bai Ze clan, this was ultimately limited to defense. It was far from enough to rely on the "power of the military formation" to pose a real threat to himself!

After all, it is protected by its own "trump card".

Even after being sealed, its condition did not decline much, and it still stood within the "Third Heaven" realm. Theoretically, it was not something that a mere half-step third-realm human could contend with!
After all, the human race was once nothing more than a tool for providing faith to the "gods".

However, Qi Cheng now senses, thanks to his racial talent, that this human is hiding a tremendous threat...

"Is it because of its immense potential that this world bestows upon it such favorable rules...?"

Soon, the three-legged golden crow realized something.

Because of their exceptional talent, the other party received some kind of protection or recognition from the "rules of heaven and earth" of this place, thus enabling them to contend with beings of a higher realm in a certain sense!
"The human race has actually produced a being qualified to step into the realm of 'quasi-true god'..."

The three-legged golden crow's face turned extremely ugly, and its killing intent intensified.

It clearly realized that the dashing and unrestrained swordsman before it had far greater potential than it had previously estimated.

Qin Liangyu's side relied on the inherited power of the fallen Bai Ze, and even if they could briefly touch the edge of the "Third Heaven", it was ultimately an external thing.

Li Bai, however, relied on his own comprehension and potential to reach the threshold of that supreme realm.

This kind of enemy must be nipped in the bud!

"Hmph, you must not be allowed to live!"

The three-legged golden crow roared, its voice shaking the galaxy. Its wings suddenly spread, each golden feather like a small, burning sun, and endless solar fire gathered into a raging torrent.

Immediately, it flapped its wings, and unimaginable flames, like a solar eruption, shot out from its body, creating a "solar storm" that stretched for tens of thousands of miles in the sky!
This flame was no ordinary fire, but rather the true essence of the sun's fire, containing the laws of burning and purifying all things. Wherever the flame passed, the void twisted and cracked, the waters of the Milky Way boiled and evaporated, forming a scorching vacuum realm.

Even the void seemed to be scorched and distorted, rippling with waves.

"Azure Lotus protects the path!"

Seeing this, Li Bai remained calm and undaunted.

As a "quasi-third heaven" powerhouse, Li Bai's "Azure Lotus Sword" had already been upgraded to a "mysterious yellow" level heavy weapon under the nurturing of his own sword intent and the Dao of poetry and wine!

The sword trembled slightly, emitting a clear and melodious dragon's roar. Blue lotuses bloomed out of thin air, each petal flowing with profound sword runes.

Now, facing a formidable foe, he held nothing back. First, a blue lotus flew out, sheltering Wang Yuyan and the others within it, and then he spoke…

"The Jade Capital in the heavens, with its twelve towers and five cities. An immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life..."

"The immortals are lined up like hemp..."

Li Bai recited the poem aloud, and the verses instantly transformed into tangible golden characters that merged into the void. He had directly invoked the power of his own "divine kingdom."

In an instant, a hazy yet magnificent scene unfolded around him.

Immortal palaces and pavilions appeared and disappeared in the void, their magnificent buildings resplendent in gold and jade, with white cranes dancing amidst the swirling celestial aura. This Jade Capital Divine Kingdom had forcibly carved out a pure land of poetic romance and sword-wielding strife within this space filled with the flames of the Milky Way and the Golden Crow!
Within these palaces, ethereal immortal figures stand holding swords, their sword intent flowing endlessly like a vast galaxy.

These immortals, each exuding an aura that clearly belonged to the "peak of demigods" level! Their movements were perfectly synchronized, yet each possessed its own unique charm, whether thrusting, slashing, picking, or wiping, a thousand sword lights converged into a dazzling river of sword light, facing the sky full of true solar fire.

"Chichichichi——!"

The sword river and the sea of ​​fire collided violently. The extreme heat and the sharp sword energy annihilated each other, unleashing a blinding light. The shockwave spread like tangible ripples, causing the celestial river below to surge with towering waves.

"To conjure so many figures with one's own will, transforming into thousands in an instant... This person's future potential is not just that of a quasi-true god, but rather possesses the qualities of a true god..."

Even the "Three-Legged Golden Crow" was taken aback by this scene.

Reaching the level of a deity theoretically allows one to directly mobilize the "power of the rules" of heaven and earth, creating projections, avatars, and even clones!
Projection is one thing, but the avatar itself contains a portion of one's own "power of will".

In theory, at most a hundred or so can be created... but Li Bai created a full thousand avatars at the peak of the demigod level.

This alone, representing potential, instilled fear in even the "Golden Crow Prince".

"How dare you..."

Seeing this, it dared not hold back any longer, and suddenly opened its mouth, plucking out the most dazzling core feather from its own chest.

A dazzling ray of light shot into the sky, and within this ray of light was a feather that flowed with a luster like liquid gold, containing the terrifying essence of the sun and the aura of ancient royalty!

The moment the feather appeared, the surrounding temperature soared again, scorching black cracks into the void. "Be careful! This is an imperial feather condensed by the Three-Legged Golden Crow using its natal solar true fire; it's powerful enough to incinerate stars!" Wang Yuyan warned urgently, her beautiful eyes filled with solemnity.

In fact, no one dared to underestimate this three-legged golden crow.

This is because, theoretically, the Milky Way was once a barrier separating celestial beings from humans. Beings that can be trapped here for countless years without perishing are not easily matched.
It's important to know that this "Celestial River" involves the laws of destiny.

After all, the golden crow before us, at its peak, was probably far superior to an ordinary third heaven... It is also because the human race's "celestial court" is extraordinary, and the laws of the Eternal Land itself are extremely stable. If it were outside, just this feather would be enough to burn a mountain of tens of thousands of miles into ashes!
At this moment, driven by the divine power of the "Three-Legged Golden Crow", this imperial feather suddenly burst forth with endless light, and the entire Milky Way was like a rising sun, radiating endless golden light.

The downy hairs within each feather detached and transformed into strands of golden "sun arrows" imbued with immense divine power and refined to the extreme, shooting towards the "immortals" that Li Bai had conjured up like a torrential rain!
These solar arrows moved at incredible speeds, their trajectories mysterious, as if traversing space. The point of extreme white at the tip of the arrow was a sign that the temperature had reached its extreme.

It must be said that the power of a supreme deity is truly astonishing. Each of those golden arrows contained the power to incinerate mountains and boil seas, enough to directly annihilate an ordinary demigod...

However, Li Bai's Immortal Sword Formation was also extraordinary.

"The sword transforms into a blue lotus, impervious to all magic!"

A thousand illusory immortals simultaneously changed their moves, their swordsmanship swirling and turning, and countless blue lotuses bloomed within the sword formation, creating a massive protective sword domain.

The sun arrow struck the azure lotus, unleashing a continuous roar. Sword energy and golden flames intertwined and annihilated each other wildly, illuminating the entire Milky Way with flickering light, while turbulent energy currents tore through space.
Faced with the supernatural powers of supreme deities.

Li Bai, however, did not fall into a disadvantageous position.

This is because the "immortals" depicted by Li Bai were not ordinary beings.

In fact, as a "prefecture master" of Qianxia, ​​Li Bai's "Baiyujing" was a product of the combination of "Tianwang" and "Taixu Huanjing"!

Although its divine kingdom, "Baiyujing," is nothingness, it has evolved into reality.

Therefore, these numerous "immortals," apart from Li Bai himself, were all evolved with the help of the "Heavenly Net," and were already close to the real state!
Each person unleashed their unique skill, either dodging or striking with their longsword...

The current Li Bai is equivalent to being empowered by a thousand "peak demigods", and each of them is a top-notch swordsman. Even when facing the top-level experts of the "third heaven of gods", he has the power to fight!
"Boom!"

The sword energy stretches across 30,000 miles, and the light of one sword chills nineteen states!

This is no longer a literary description, but a true depiction of reality...

Li Bai himself finally moved, pointing his fingers like a sword and guiding the sword intent of a thousand immortals to converge on the Azure Lotus Sword.

The Azure Lotus Sword emitted an unprecedented hum, and a condensed azure sword aura, seemingly capable of cleaving through chaos, burst forth, traversing the sky. Wherever it passed, the sun arrows shattered, and even the light of the core imperial feather dimmed slightly.

This sword strike almost drained the spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand miles; its sword intent was so intense that it caused the Milky Way to reverse!

"Damn it, the mere human race, a race subservient to the gods, how could they wield such powerful divine strength..."

The three-legged golden crow's mind was filled with resentment and anger.

One of its strongest single-target attacks was blocked in such an unbelievable way, and it was even subtly countered.

Without further hesitation, it let out a deafening roar, and the true solar fire burning around its body suddenly receded inward, withdrawing entirely into its body, making its aura heavy and terrifying.

Immediately, to everyone's astonishment, the waters of the Milky Way below surged violently, turning a full 100,000 li (approximately 50,000 kilometers) crimson... as if the entire Milky Way had been boiled!

Immediately afterwards, a colossal nest, radiating endless light and heat and seemingly woven from countless golden branches, slowly rose from the bottom of the boiling Milky Way!

This nest alone spans tens of thousands of miles... Ancient demonic script flows across it, radiating an aura of primordial chaos, majesty, and intense heat.

"Hmm, a true divine artifact containing the essence of the Golden Crow?"

When Li Bai sensed the law fluctuations contained within the phantom of the Black Nest, which far exceeded the Xuanhuang level, even his expression became more serious.

Simply because the words "true god" carry immense weight.

Even Qian Xia, to date, possesses fewer than twenty "True God Artifacts," and some of them are "Inherited Sacred Relics," which he rarely uses.

And the "crow's nest" summoned by this three-legged golden crow is a true "divine artifact".

It was also one of the core palaces in the "Demon Clan Immortal Court" established by the Golden Crow Clan in the past, and it was also the original "Divine Kingdom". It was based on the core of the sun and was cast on the innate divine object "Fusang Divine Tree".

It is the supreme sacred object of the Golden Crow clan, and a symbol of their power and authority!

Although it was "damaged" in the past battle, it still possesses the foundation of a "true god".

This is why, even after being sealed beneath the "Heavenly River" for countless years, the three-legged golden crow still retains such immense power and profound reserves!
At this moment, within the blazing sunlight of the "Crow's Nest," the outlines of blurry yet powerful figures suddenly emerged... Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be enormous skeletons of golden crows, radiating terrifying pressure! They maintained the posture of spreading their wings in life, and dark golden flame patterns still remained on their skeletons.

"Hiss, this is actually... a pile of Golden Crow skeletons at the level of gods!"

Huang Rong gasped.

It should be understood that reaching the realm of gods is already one in ten thousand.

Within this Golden Crow's Nest, there were a large number of remains of divine Golden Crows. Although they were dead, the divinity and solar fire remaining in their bones still made people feel extremely uneasy.

"Humans, let's see how you resist..."

The Golden Crow Emperor's son let out a long cry, its divine feathers shining as if forged from the rays of the sun.

Surprisingly, they all fell off on their own. These fallen golden feathers did not scatter, but as if summoned, they all flew towards the crow's nest behind it, which was made of the feathers of the true god and the branches of the Fusang tree. They landed precisely on the "Three-Legged Golden Crow - Divine Remains" that exuded divine aura!

"Croak, croak, croak..."

The sound of crows, seemingly from ancient times, sent shivers down one's spine.

The skeletons of those golden crows suddenly began to burn, their empty eye sockets emitting a rich golden light, and the flames on their bodies were reignited...

Although it is no longer a real life, its overwhelming ferocity and pure divine energy fluctuations are even more violent than when it was alive!
It should be noted that this is the revival of over a hundred "three-legged golden crows".

Each of these races, once a "sun" of a world in its lifetime, has now been "ignited" again, transformed into war puppets that only know destruction...

A terrifying aura swept across the land.

Even the stable Heavenly River Space began to tremble violently, as if it could not withstand this power! (End of Chapter)
