Chapter 607: Let All The Sins Fall Upon Me!

Huang She God led two gods to Swords Gate, and suddenly, they shook their bodies. Each of them turned into their Avatar of ten thousand feet tall, they towered over the sky as if they were standing above the clouds while they surrounded Swords Gate in the center.

Huang She God looked at the panicked Swords Gate disciple in Swords Gate. He laughed and said, "Run, run, stupid mortals! Hurry up and tell him to come back and save you!"

Jun Sixie, Fang Jiange and others have quickly stabilized the hearts of the people, they cast out the divine weapons and the Four Symbol Banners to protect the mountain.

Gong Yang God looked down while laughing, “How pathetic, do you think the divine weapons can stop the gods? How naive!”

The three gods’ hands crushed right through the array formation formed by the Four Symbol Banners and reached toward Swords Gate.

Meanwhile, Old Man Six Paths raised his head and frowned.

A few moments later, godly blood rained from mid-air, and Huang She God could be seen dashing away from Swords Gate even faster than a flash of lightning.

Old Man Six Paths kept the two gods’ corpse, he placed it before Husang Weng and the others, and he said, “So, I have just explained on how to nurture yourselves with the nutrients of the god’s corpse. Here are two fresh subjects here for you to try it out now.”

“Another snake escaped!” Husan Weng shouted, “Old man, you didn’t kill that godly snake!”

Old Man Six Paths glared a pair of eyes over and slammed on Husan Weng’s carrot head while shouting furiously, “Shut up and just do as I say!”

…

East Barren Black Mountain.

Lord Dragon and Lord Demon were battling, but it was clear that Lord Demon was no match for him. Lord Demon was forced to return to the coffin on the demonic tree and remain on the defensive. The only reason Lord Dragon didn’t immediately kill Lord Demon was that he was hesitating on whether he should let Lord Demon live to kill Zhong Yue.

Although not yet a god, Zhong Yue’s was far more threatening than ordinary gods. It would serve him better if Zhong Yue were exterminated.

All of a sudden, a cry of death resounded through the sky. Lord Dragon looked over and found Shi Buyi killing Wen Changgong and sacrificing him to the ritual. Right after, Shi Buyi turned and joined in the battle against Zhu Jiumu.

“Lord Dragon, I can tolerate it once and once only, a second or even third attempt will not be accepted!” Zhong Yue’s placid voice abruptly sounded in his ears, “Be careful not to break the good bond between the human race and dragon race, the next action you make next will decide the future of two races.”

Lord Dragon heart clenched. The dragon race has migrated to Kun Lun, and the current foundation of their survival depended upon the relationship between Zhong Yue and the next Western Mother Empress. The dragon race would have to face with the wrath of Zhong Yue if he dared to aggravate him for a second time.

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue laughed loudly, and a rain of sword light forced Lord Demon back. After a few moments, Lord Demon was pushed into the altar.

Lord Dragon stabbed the Coiling Dragon Divine Sword through the demon tree, piercing Lord Demon’s head, and left right after.

“Zhong Yue, no one can defeat an era on his own.” Lord Dragon’s voice resounded from the edge of the sky, “Not even the gods! To reclaim the glory of the Fuxi Clan means going against the whole world, the whole era! It will not be a good ending for you, you must acknowledge your limits!”

Then, he disappeared in the blood rain.

On the altar, Zhong Yue looked down at his hands and mumbled, “No one can beat an era on his own? But how can you say for sure without even trying?”

He raised his head and roared loudly as he released the anger within him, he then surged all of his arcane energy into the altar to speed up the process.

All of a sudden, his ebony hair turned grey as white hairs started to spread across his head.

Zhong Yue was shocked, but regained his calm moments later.

Every action made had consequences; it was time for Zhong Yue to face his punishment for carrying out the sealing ritual.

When the godly blood in the Celestial Wood Star was sealed away, Zhong Yue was punished with a loss of thousand years of longevity, a punishment not only from the heaven and earth, but also the curse of all the Kun Peng experts!

“Is there really no one that can dominate an era on his own?” Zhong Yue mumbled again.

Patriarch Nature’s mortal body was slowly disintegrating into dust as the tremendous energy in him was offered to the heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, Zhi Jiumu was locked in a battle with Shi Buyi and Xuan Yuan on the altar. The West Barren old god was exceptionally strong, he was the only god that survived the insect planet expedition, and the one who was just a hair’s breadth away from the Heavenly Deity stage!

Although old, he was the strongest god on the Ancestral Star!

But that didn’t change that fact that his prowess was waning day by day, he was not in his peak state anymore.

Time remained undefeated; no one could escape, not even the gods!

Although Zhong Yue didn’t prompt Shi Buyi and Gongsun Xuanyuan of his flaws, Zhu JIumu wouldn’t be able to last long anyway!

“Senior Jiumu, do you still want to fight?” Zhong Yue turned and said, “Nothing can stop me now, not even with your life. There is no need to fight anymore, I will now open a passage for you to leave the altar.”

Zhu Jiumu laughed loudly, “Zhong Yue, will you stop the ritual after I leave?”

Zhong Yue sternly shook his head.

Zhu Jiumu then roared back loudly, “Then the fight will never end! I am not here for my own survival; otherwise, I wouldn’t have come at all!”

Zhong Yue frowned, he could totally understand the old god. Zhu Jiumu was here with only one goal—to exterminate him, and stop the sealing ritual. Thus, Zhu Jiumu wouldn’t stop until one of them died!

Zhong Yue sighed, but said nothing more.

As time flashed by, more and more wounds appeared on Zhu Jiumu’s body, making him even less able to defend all the incoming attacks.

Time had silently gobbled a huge chunk of his prowess. He was be able to stay in his peak form in the start of the battle if he pushed for it, but his strength would quickly plummet right after he got tired.

That being said, this would be his last battle.

All of a sudden, Zhu Jiumu’s grey hairs spread out out as a strong burst of blood essence surged within his body. He stopped fighting back and instead, drew a bow back and shot out the rest of his energy as an arrow.

The arrow was luminous, containing his willpower and all of his cultivation base, but it was shot out at the cost of his own life!

Blood flowed out his body, but the bow was fully drawn back again, and the blood that flowed out of his body was formed into a blood arrow.

In just the blink of an eye, eight blood arrows were shot out right after. When the ninth blood arrow was shot out, his body aged to like a dying old man. Xuan Yuan decapitated him while Shi Buyi lashed the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array out at his hands.

Zhu Jiumu’s head flew up into the sky, but his eye was still staring at Zhong Yue where Zhong Yue clenched on the scale mirror to the front and blocked the nine arrows.

Din, din, din—

The arrows shattered into blood silk, and a smile spread across Zhu Jiumu’s wizened face.

All of a sudden, the blood silk turned into arrows that slipped through the scale mirror and shot toward Zhong Yue from all directions!

Zhong Yue looked over bitterly, but no matter how unwilling he was to bring death to the respected elder god, the three divine rays were still shot out from his divine eyes and killed Zhu Jiumu before the blood arrows reached him.

Zhu Jiumu’s eye dimmed, the blood arrows were lost their vigor and slowly dispersed away. However, some tens of blood arrows still managed to drill through Zhong Yue’s mortal body before finally fading away.

“Senior, may you walk on a bright path even in the afterlife…,” Zhong Yue raised his head and pulled Zhu Jiumu’s divine bow into his hands. He stared at the bow and mumbled, “I hope you don’t hate me for doing this, I didn’t want to either, but… After all, we are both just doing the best we can for our races…”

Zhong Yue sighed, he suddenly raised his head up and shouted loudly, “Patriarch Nature, sacrifice yourself!”

Immediately, the totem patterns engraved all around City of Nature started to distort and vanish away!

However, new totem patterns would always reemerge within the City of Nature to replace those that were destroyed. These totem patterns were still protecting Patriarch Nature’s mortal body from fully sacrificed.

“Brat Yue, it’s the Innate Qi!” Xin Huo suddenly said, “The Innate Qi is still lingering in his body, that is what is keeping his mortal body from dying! The altar’s power is still a little bit away from being able to offer the Innate Qi!”

“A little more?” Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, he abruptly tossed the Divine Wing Saber out and sacrificed the saint weapon.

Whereas Xin Huo lamented regretfully, “You should’ve used this big lion instead. He is one of the most useless things to keep with you, he is a male lion and can’t give birth to any children. It's such a waste to offer the Divine Wing Saber…”

Perhaps, Xin Huo has only simply viewed and categorized the livings into two kinds—those who was suitable for mating, and those that were not.

A few moments later, the Divine Wing Saber was converted into the altar’s power, and the City of Nature started to breakdown. Zhong Yue stood in front of the city and watched as it slowly turned into dust.

A few hours later, the whole City of Nature was fully offered away into the purest form of energy back to the heaven and earth.

Then, Zhong Yue crouched and placed his hand at the center of the altar.

At that instant, a bloody hemisphere originating from the altar has extended to the other end of the planet in just the matter of seconds. Following by a second wave, the third… and many more!

“I curse!” Zhong Yue raised his head, he stared right into the sky and said aloud.

“I curse all of the celestial race in the Ancestral Star to lose the godly power that flows within their blood, and that their power will be sealed by this curse eternally!”

“I curse all of the demon race in the Ancestral Star to lose the godly power that flows within their blood, and that their power will be sealed by this curse eternally!”

“I curse all of the insect race in the Ancestral Star to lose the godly power that flows within their blood, and that their power will be sealed by this curse eternally!”

Zhong Yue paused for a split second, he then shouted furiously, “And I curse, the future generations of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race to eat the human shit for the rest of their lives!”

He slowly stood up, his hair turned white like snow, and he lowered his head as he concedes, “And let all the sins fall upon me alone!”

Shi Buyi and Xuan Yuan were stupefied as they looked at him aging away to an old man almost instantly.

The curse was never a one-sided ritual; at the moment of placing a curse, another curse would befall the caster as well.

For instance, Zhong Yue was cursed with the reduction of over ten thousand years of life.

Although he had cultivated the six secret realms and the Six Paths Reincarnations which gave him over ten thousand years of longevity even before ascending into deityhood, he was now only left with just a few hundred years to live.

It was truly a hefty price he paid to execute the ritual!

“Thankfully the future human leaders won’t have to pay such a great price.” Zhong Yue laughed, and he kept the scale mirror along with the copper lamp.

Then, he said placidly, “Big lion, little Xuan Yuan, let’s leave.”

The three of them walked down from the Black Mountain, Xuan Yuan looked back and he abruptly said, “Uncle Zhong, what should we call this mountain? The name of Black Mountain doesn’t fit so well with the purpose of this mountain to the human race.”

Zhong Yue was piqued in interest, he smiled and asked, “Then, what do you think it should be called as?”

Xuan Yuan looked up at the blood rain, and looked down at the flooding water beneath Black Mountain. Suddenly, he laughed and said, “I have an idea. The three of us are standing above the water, then this word shall be made from the elements of three, human and water.”

He wrote down a word symbol and said, “I’m going to call it ‘Tai’. It symbolizes an unyielding will, an unmoving resolution, and also… an undefeatable legend. Uncle Zhong, this is where you have paved the foundation to rise for the human race. Thus, this mountain shall be named Mount Tai!”

TN:

About the word, 泰(Tai) = 三(Three) overlaps 人(Human), and the 水(Water) is below them.
