Lord of the Earth

In the void, alien gods and human gods confronted each other, and chaotic energy surged endlessly.

At this moment, more than twenty true gods stood outside the Eternal Land, and the power of rules emanating from each "Dao Fruit" collided with each other. Each clash was enough to destroy a great world!
And within the eternal land.

The grand ceremony to worship Heaven during the summer is still proceeding in an orderly manner...

"The sinful remains of the Bone Demon race have roamed 130 million miles across the human world, using plague and evil magic to secretly kill 38 million of our human race, leaving women and children alike emaciated and using their bones to build the 'Demon Bone Divine Kingdom,' causing far-reaching harm!"

"He is sentenced...the endless bones within his body will serve as materials for the 'Skeleton Warship,' to be enslaved by our human race for all eternity, to atone for the sins of the billions of human beings he has harmed..."

"The water demon god 'Water Demon' flooded three hundred cities of my human race, causing the deaths of eighty million people. As punishment, he was sent to 'Fire Hell' to endure three thousand years of torture..."

"The centipede clan's deity 'Hundred-Legged' has captured all the officials of an entire human race's nation of destiny, turning them into its 'puppet incarnations.' This crime is unforgivable..."

On the altar, the "silver moon" above Bao Zheng's head emitted light, enveloping each of the alien gods and revealing the sins of each one in detail.

One crime after another was read out, and one verdict after another was handed down.

"Pfft, puff!"

Accompanied by Lü Bu, who served as the executioner.

The halberd in his hand cleaved off heads that exuded divine aura!
The 9,999 steps, from top to bottom, were all soaked in the blood of alien gods, each step drenched in blood.

A surge of immense fortune, accompanied by an angry roar of resentment, emerged from the blood-red light, transforming into a stream of light that plunged into Qianxia's sea of ​​fortune, allowing the latter to expand further!

Furthermore, some of the purple light representing "merit" flowed into Qianxia's "Lotus of Merit" like a trickle of water, causing the latter to continuously bloom into lotus flowers representing "divine status"!

When the Qianxia Immortal Dynasty was established, it made a solemn oath, thus acquiring some of the authority to "act on behalf of Heaven to punish."

Punishing these sinful gods is itself a way of "maintaining" the rules of the Eternal Land. Therefore, with each "sinful god" killed, Qianxia's own sea of ​​fortune and lotus of merit become more abundant.

After slaying all these tens of thousands of gods, the fortune and merit gained would be enough for Qianxia to condense thousands of "god positions" of the same level!
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand... eight thousand!
On the "Altar of Heaven," the number of alien gods who had been sacrificed by Qian Xia and imprisoned in the "Human Race Heavenly Prison" had reached eight thousand!
This "Ceremony to Worship Heaven" has reached a rather crucial moment.

This is because what remains now are all extremely powerful supreme races such as the Demon Dragon, the Sinful Phoenix, and the Celestial Race...

"Human, you dare not kill me?"

A low roar from a demonic dragon was like thunder from the heavens. Its eyes flashed with endless rage. Its body, which was tens of thousands of feet long, was coiled in front of the altar. Corrosive void demonic energy flowed on its black dragon scales.

As one of the "quasi-gods" sent by the dragon race to the Eternal Land.

It believed that even if it were captured, the humans would not dare to truly kill it.

After all, the dragon race is a supreme race, and among its existing true gods, there are even the most powerful "quasi-supreme" level beings in all the heavens and myriad realms!

"The Demon Dragon Clan's crimes are as numerous as mountains. Over the past thousand years, they have devoured 720 cities of our human race, slaughtered hundreds of millions of lives, burned countless ancient texts of civilization with dragon flames, and enslaved the heroic spirits of our human race for their own use with forbidden dragon soul spells... Sentenced: Execution!"

However, Bao Zheng didn't even lift an eyelid.

The next moment, it was as if it were an ordinary deity, and it was "sentenced to death"!
"A mere human dares to slay a dragon?"

Upon hearing this, the imprisoned demonic dragon unleashed its demonic energy like a volcanic eruption, attempting to attack Bao Zheng, the "King of Hell" of the Qianxia Dynasty!
"presumptuous!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly.

His figure had already reached the top of the demon dragon's head, and the halberd in his hand gleamed with a chilling light, its blade aimed at the head of the demon dragon quasi-true god!

The dragon sensed a deadly threat, and its eyes suddenly contracted.

"You dare—!"

Lü Bu did not answer.

He simply gripped the halberd with both hands and swung it down with a sudden, powerful strike. There were no fancy techniques involved; only pure, extreme power.

click-

The scales on the dragon's neck shattered like paper, and the halberd cut into the dragon's body without any resistance, with black dragon blood gushing out like a fountain!
"boom!"

A huge dragon head rolled down from the altar.

The dragon's eyes still held an expression of disbelief—he couldn't believe that a mere human, a mere general, would actually dare to kill him, and... actually be able to kill him.

However, the dragon was, after all, a powerful being of a supreme race, and even though its head was severed, its soul did not dissipate.

hold head high!
A jet-black dragon soul suddenly shot into the sky from the severed neck.

Holding a "black dragon pearl" that faintly exuded the aura of a true god in its mouth, it unleashed a powerful aura, actually blasting a gap in the "suppressive power" of the altar...

"Want to escape?"

A voice rang out.

Splash!

Wu Song, who had just killed the "true god's clone," let out a cold snort.

Clang... Clang... Clang... Hundreds of "Nine Nether Chains" emerged from the void like venomous snakes, tightly binding the limbs and neck of the demonic dragon's soul.

The dragon's soul let out a mournful roar and struggled desperately, only to find that the more it tried, the tighter the chains became. Countless fine runes appeared on the chains, each one devouring its soul power.

They forcibly dragged him back inch by inch from the void!

"Humans, do you really intend to exterminate us all?"

The remnant soul of the quasi-true god of the demon dragon roared in fury.

Wu Song remained expressionless, flicked his wrist, and the chains tightened abruptly, revealing a massive "prison gate" to imprison the remnant soul of the demonic dragon within...

Through the "gate," one can see that inside is a prison engulfed in raging "karmic fire," where beings who enter will suffer the most excruciating burning pain forever. Even if they are reduced to ashes, they will be resurrected again, endlessly repeating the cycle...

"Your crimes have not yet been fully accounted for."

"Beheading is only the beginning. Your dragon soul will be suppressed in the deepest part of the human race's prison, to be burned by the Netherworld Fire for ten thousand years, until every human hero you devoured is freed from your soul."

"Do not--!"

"I am a direct descendant of the True God, a chosen one of the Demon Dragon Clan... My clan's True God is about to descend! If you humans dare to kill me, you will surely die a horrible death!"

Seeing that he was about to be "utterly destroyed," the quasi-true god of the demonic dragon roared!
Boom!

As if to confirm what he said.

Suddenly, above the entire human race's divine city, the golden sea of ​​fortune clouds surged like a boiling ocean, as if something was about to break free from its cocoon!

Suddenly, the sky tore open.

A dragon claw of indescribable size descended from the highest point of the sky.

Each finger bone was like a mountain range stretching across the sky, the cold light at the tip of the claw more dazzling than the stars, and the Daoist aura at the level of a true god flowed on the dragon claw...

The mere aura emanating from it caused Qianxia's "Sea of ​​Fortune Clouds" to tremble violently... and even made the "Heavenly Prison Gate," which was about to close, appear illusory.

"This is?"

The expressions on everyone's faces changed.

It should be noted that now that the "Human Heavenly Prison" has merged with the Soul Clan's "Human Cage," it has been upgraded to a true artifact, and it is even a near-top-tier true artifact... The power emanating from this dragon claw can actually affect the "Heavenly Prison Gate," so the identity of its master is self-evident!

"Buzz!"

As everyone was still in shock, another enormous dragon eye appeared in the crack.

The dragon's eyes stood upright, the pupils like bottomless black holes, surrounded by golden dragon flames. The dragon's eyes slowly rotated, and any living being that was looked at directly, even those at the extraordinary level, would instantly collapse!

Immediately, his gaze swept across the entire Eternal Land.

From the northernmost ice plains to the southernmost lava abyss, from the easternmost endless sea to the westernmost void barrier, all living beings, all existence, are laid bare before that single glance!

"It's a true god! The true god of my dragon race has descended!"

"Hahaha! Humans, you're finished! Quick, quickly call upon the True God for help... Awooo!"

On the altar, the eyes of several demonic dragons bound by shackles suddenly ignited with hope, and they let out a deafening roar towards the dragon eyes in the sky!
However, the enormous dragon eye in the sky merely swept its lightly over the altar.

There was no anger, no concern, not even the slightest fluctuation.

It's like someone looking down at an ant at their feet, not even as good as an ant, but looking at the dust on the roadside!

Simply because of the current situation...

It wasn't that this true god of the demonic dragon race forcibly "crossed the boundary" to save people, but rather... the thousand-year period had arrived, and the true god began to descend upon the Eternal Land!

"Rumble..."

Across the entire Eternal Land, numerous “shattered” structures suddenly appeared, with divine courts emerging alongside massive “spatial ripples.”

Each divine court is surrounded by a star-like divine kingdom, and each divine kingdom represents a being at the level of a god.

Most importantly, at the deepest part of every divine court, there is a being powerful enough to illuminate all ages—the True God!
The Eternal Land is vast and boundless, formed from the shattered fragments of countless worlds. Yet, even standing within the "Human God City," one can directly witness these "True Gods" who have begun their descent.

Because of these things, each one shines brighter than the sun in the sky!
boom!
The moment the first true god stepped out of the divine court, the entire sky of the Eternal Land was like glass struck by a giant hammer, with cracks spreading in all directions at the speed of light.

"What is that... Ah!"

On the ground, some mortal beings tried to look at this imposing figure, only to find that after just one glance, their souls trembled violently, as if scorched by the blazing sun.

"That is... the true god!"

"Quickly, bow your head and kneel down! An ancient saying goes: never look directly at the true god!"

Some who understood the situation cried out in fear, but they still couldn't avoid suffering damage to their souls.

This very beginning of its arrival caused the instant death of at least trillions of beings across the entire Eternal Continent…

Just because, one, two, three... ten, twenty, thirty...

The dense aura of true gods poured down from the cracks in the sky, surging into the Eternal Land like a waterfall... The arrival of each true god was like forcibly pressing an indelible fingerprint onto the canvas of the Eternal Land.

Their Dao fruits collided, intertwined, and repelled each other, forming a Daoist storm that even the "void" could not withstand... At the center of the storm, the primordial rules of the Eternal Land flickered like a candle flame in a gale, and could be extinguished at any moment!

At the edge of the Eternal Land, those unfortified areas evaporated instantly, thousands of continental plates were torn away like thin paper, oceans were upside down, and mountains were shattered...

That was not a simple arrival, but the collapse of heaven and earth...

"No, even after a thousand years of integration, this world is still too weak. Forcibly descending upon it would likely destroy it... Everyone, according to the initial agreement, each of you will be responsible for... reinforcing a specific area!"

Above the heavens, an indescribable figure whispered.

The sound traveled directly throughout the entire Eternal Land, and all living beings—no matter how far apart—clearly "heard" it.

No, it wasn't just that they heard it; that voice directly became part of their understanding.

A single thought of the true God can change the "cognition" of billions of living beings!
All living beings instantly understood what these true gods intended to do next.

The world of the Eternal Land is still unable to withstand the power of a true god... Therefore, the gods decided to use "Daoist principles" to cleanse it, thereby raising the "upper limit" of this world's capacity!
"Gentlemen, do not be too hasty... Reinforce your chosen areas as initially planned, so that this world can fully adapt to our power..."

This is what many true gods must do.

True gods can directly modify the rules of heaven and earth. Now, true gods are reinforcing this world with their own "Dao Fruits," just like many true gods are performing a final "refinement" on the Eternal Land.

Rumble!
Above the sky, enormous human figures looked down upon the heavens and earth.

Instead, they hung high above the dome of the Eternal Land, each figure more ancient than the stars and more vast than the Milky Way, their faces blurred, not deliberately hidden.

Rather, it's because mortal cognition is simply incapable of comprehending such an existence—even merely "seeing" it would cause irreversible distortion of the soul.

However, even more dazzling than these figures of true gods were the "Dao Fruits" floating above their heads.

Each Dao Fruit is like an exploding galaxy, releasing Dao essence that condenses into visible chains. These chains are not physical, but woven from the purest power of rules—the fiery red of flames, the pale white of ice, the emerald green of life, the pitch black of death, the silvery gray of time, and the transparency of space…

Each chain represents the ultimate "Tao".

"Crack-!"

The chains, like ten thousand dragons emerging simultaneously, shot out from the Dao Fruit of the True God, piercing the sky and penetrating the rules of heaven and earth in the Eternal Land!
"Boom—!"

At this moment, the earth trembled, the sky groaned, and the sound spread throughout the world, which every living being could clearly "hear"—it was the modification, reinforcement, and reshaping of the rules of heaven and earth.

But at the same time, an unprecedented "vitality" was spreading across the land.

Where the chains pierced, towering trees instantly sprouted from the barren wasteland; spiritually vibrant springs gushed forth from the dried-up riverbed; the shattered spatial cracks were slowly stitched together by the Daoist principles; and the chaotic flow of time was straightened out by the rules.

The Eternal Land is being "upgraded".

"Hmm, I think I can feel my bottleneck loosening?"

And the creatures of the Eternal Land also sensed it.

Ordinary people cannot “look directly at the true God” – because that would shatter their souls.

But they could feel that the world had suddenly become much more "friendly". The fragments of rules that they used to have to rack their brains to capture were now falling on the ground like snowflakes, within reach.

Those who reach the level of "quasi-true god" are even more able to see extraordinary things through their own vision.

"That's... a Dao Fruit representing the Way of Medicine? It's so intoxicating..."

A quasi-god of medicine from another race gazed up at the heavens.

The Dao Fruit, radiating emerald light, made every cell in his body rejoice. He felt his bottleneck in the path of medicine loosening, and countless new inspirations surged forth like a spring.

"This is... a Dao Fruit representing the way of war and slaughter, its sharpness fully revealed..."

Another quasi-true god was drawn to a blood-red Dao fruit.

The killing aura emanating from that fruit made him feel as if he were on a battlefield with thousands of troops, and every breath was tempering his fighting spirit!
"Is this the 'Tao Fruit' representing the path of magic? Could that true god be the legendary supreme true god who founded the magic cultivation system—Lord Moro?"

A Western magician, with the "Demonic Dao Fruit" rapidly condensing above his head, and the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire surging, was enlightened and gained immense benefits simply by watching the true god use "Dao Rhyme" to "reinforce" the Eternal Land.

"And there's swordsmanship, formation, alchemy, weapon crafting... My goodness, all sorts of True God 'Dao Fruits' have appeared! Such a magnificent Dao aura is absolutely a 'feast' for 'quasi-True Gods,' a superb opportunity to pave the way to True Godhood!" (End of Chapter)
