The God of Heavens

Chapter 314 The Hidden Thoughts of the Ancient Races

Qixia Plain, this ancient battlefield, has existed since ancient times and is the subject of countless legends.

Ancient texts from various ethnic groups record that the Yuan Emperor slew his strongest adversary here. He remained invincible thereafter, ultimately attaining the Dao and becoming Emperor.

Now, this world has been transformed by the Taixu Sacred Realm. Not a blade of grass grows here. It is vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see, and filled with a chilling aura.

At this moment, cultivators from the five major domains—Eastern Wilderness, Western Desert, Central State, Southern Ridge, and Northern Plains—have all arrived, their figures bustling and densely packed.

Suddenly, a commotion was heard in the distance, and the forces of the Primal Lake appeared, with a dark mass of over a thousand people pressing in, including hundreds of members of the royal family, and even the Ancestral King was present.

Such a display is enough to intimidate all sides, and with this assistance, Yuan Gu's confidence will surely be even stronger.

"The time has come, Yuan Gu, have you arrived?!"

Hua Yunfei, dressed in a blue robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, with his hair bound in a crown and holding an ancient zither, stepped forward.

The princes and princesses of the ancient royal families, such as the Fire Kirin Cave, the Golden Ancient Clan, and the Blood Phoenix Mountain, scrutinized Hua Yunfei with great interest.

They had heard of this person's reputation, but he was just an ordinary human prodigy, so they didn't take him seriously.

Of course, in reality, they didn't take Yuan Gu seriously either. What kind of eighth-generation descendant of the Yuan Emperor was he? Compared to them, he was worlds apart, with a bloodline difference of one generation, almost to the point of being incomparable.

Therefore, they were happy to see Yuan Gu and Hua Yunfei fight.

Lin Yu has not appeared for two whole years since he went to Earth. Sensing this, the ancient clans have begun to stir again, secretly plotting.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang has disappeared, and his friends Ye Fan and others have also disappeared for two years. The Yaoguang Holy Land is now in the hands of others.

The ancient clans speculated that Lin Yu's so-called seclusion might just be a pretense, and that he might actually have embarked on the ancient starry road.

After all, Lin Yu is virtually unrivaled among the younger generation of Beidou engineers, so it's only natural that he seeks greater challenges.

Conquering the path to becoming an emperor has always been a long and arduous process, often taking hundreds of years to return. The ancient clans, recognizing this, have become increasingly high-profile and active in their actions.

"I am coming."

A tall, black-haired man stepped out, his long hair reaching his waist, his eyes gleaming with a wild light that seemed to stretch for dozens of feet, captivating and awe-inspiring.

"Yuan Gu has appeared!"

The crowd erupted in commotion. The human race naturally had information about this person, so they recognized Yuan Gu as soon as he appeared.

"He is an eighth-generation descendant of the Yuan Emperor, and the blood of the ancient emperor flows in his veins."

This is a powerful expert, not far off even if he is not as good as the ancient emperor's son, this is the consensus of everyone.

"Although I don't know what strength you have to challenge me, let's finish this quickly, shall we?"

Yuan Gu's eyes were arrogant, exuding an air of self-importance and dominance.

"It's a pity we can't fight in real life." Hua Yunfei, dressed in white like snow, looked like an immortal descending to earth.

"What? You still want to fight in real life? Here's your chance, use your strongest secret technique."

Yuan Gu spoke with pride, a hazy divine light rising around him, calm and composed.

He was not afraid of Hua Yunfei at all, because this person had an ordinary background. He was just from an ordinary holy land in the Eastern Wilderness and had no outstanding achievements. He was only comparable to the Ji family's divine body, and was far inferior to his ancient emperor bloodline.

He strode forward, each step seemingly heavy as a thousand pounds, shaking the void, like an immortal statue that has existed since time immemorial, standing majestically between heaven and earth.

Hua Yunfei sat cross-legged in the void, exuding a commanding presence, his previous tranquility completely gone, as he stroked the ancient zither.

"Ding!"

The strings were plucked, producing a melodious sound like heavenly music, but it also contained a chilling killing intent. Beams of light shot out from the strings, rushing towards Yuan Gu.

"boom!"

Yuan Gu unleashed a punch, and the bright moon rose over the sea. A vast expanse of blue waves crashed down, causing the heavens and earth to shatter. The music played by Hua Yunfei collapsed instantly.

"This music is so soft and gentle, I really can't imagine what you have to offer to challenge me?"

Yuan Gu sneered, "If this is all the strength you have, you might as well admit defeat now. Humans are nothing special!"

"In that case, how about I show you some of the human race's secret techniques?"

Hua Yunfei remained indifferent as he plucked the strings once more. His fingers moved nimbly, and the rhythm of the strings suddenly changed, producing a completely different melody.

The phoenix's cry shakes the nine heavens!
The music abruptly stopped, leaving only the clear, sharp cry of a phoenix that pierced through clouds and split rocks, echoing throughout the universe.

Nine divine phoenixes emerged from the zither, their wings as brilliant as if forged from celestial gold, each feather flowing with runes of the Great Dao.

They hovered in the air with elegant postures, yet they carried a destructive aura, as if true immortals had descended to the mortal world. Wherever they passed, the void collapsed inch by inch, and all life was extinguished!

Yuan Gu's pupils shrank suddenly, and the nine divine phoenixes transformed into nine blazing immortal lights, instantly attacking him. Each strike was aimed directly at his origin, intending to completely obliterate him!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

His palms blazed with dark light, and innate Dao patterns flowed across his skin as he forcefully withstood the attack of the Divine Phoenix.

Each collision shook the heavens and earth, and the killing intent soared to the sky. Even the cultivators watching from afar felt their blood surge and almost vomited blood.

"This is... the Nine Tribulations Phoenix Melody, lost for countless years!" an elder expert exclaimed in a trembling voice.
"This music is in harmony with the Dao, specifically targeting the source and extinguishing life force. It was once an ancient divine sound, and now it has reappeared!"

"Hua Yunfei usually keeps a low profile, yet he has managed to contend with Yuan Gu to this extent?!"

Everyone was shocked. No one had expected that this successor of the Tai Xuan Sect's Xingfeng lineage would possess such astonishing skills!
"Roar--!"

Yuan Gu roared, his black hair dancing wildly, like a demon lord crossing realms to kill, his eyes terrifying, and with a palm strike he cleaved through the void, aiming straight for Hua Yunfei's head!

However, Hua Yunfei merely lightly brushed the strings with his fingertips, his expression calm, and whispered: "A single thought blossoms...three thousand worlds!"

Hua Yunfei lightly plucked the strings, and the music began again. Countless celestial flowers bloomed, each petal carrying the weight of a small world. The illusory images of the Three Thousand Worlds rotated and crashed into Yuan Gu!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

His ancient, demonic body was repeatedly struck, and blood-stained white flowers pierced through his flesh, leaving shocking bloody holes.

"What...what kind of secret technique is this?!"

"It can actually damage the bloodline of an ancient emperor?!"

"How is this possible?!"

The ancient clan's powerful figures' pupils dilated violently, almost suffocating.

The hearts of the cultivators from all the ancient sects seemed to stop beating; the scene before them completely overturned their understanding.

How noble is the bloodline of the ancient emperor?
That's an invincible physique capable of sweeping through three thousand realms and reversing the cycle of six paths of reincarnation!
As an eighth-generation descendant of Emperor Yuan, Yuan Gu should have been a reincarnation of the young Emperor Yuan, capable of contending with the Holy Body of the Human Race without being at a disadvantage. But at this moment...
"Yuan Gu's precious body has been pierced!"

The Qixia Plain erupted in excitement. All the spectators, whether from the ancient race or the human race, were stunned.

What kind of beings were the ancient emperors?
That was a supreme being, virtually unmatched after attaining enlightenment, representing the pinnacle of cultivation. Yuan Gu, flowing with imperial blood, should have an immortal body; unless another ancient prince personally intervened, no one could break his defenses.

However, this human prodigy, Hua Yunfei, actually shattered the Imperial Blood Body with the sound of his zither!

"Could it be that another human being has been born with a physique comparable to that of an ancient emperor in his youth?"

"Is this race still the same weak race that was bullied and oppressed in ancient times?"

The ancient tribes began to stir, and unease spread. Today's battle had completely shaken their deep-rooted sense of racial superiority.

The potential of the human race is far more terrifying than they imagined.

However, Yuan Gu didn't get angry but laughed, a smile of excitement curving his blood-stained lips: "You can hurt me? Good, very good... You're quite good."

He jerked his arms and growled:
"The Wheel of Reincarnation, illuminating my immortal body!"

In an instant, the spilled imperial blood flowed backward, and his riddled body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. A dazzling radiant wheel rose from his body, hovering above his head, spotless and radiating an indestructible divine light.

"The Primordial Light Wheel illuminates all realms!"

As the treasure wheel turned, wherever its primordial light passed, the void was annihilated and flying flowers shattered! This was the secret technique of the Primordial Emperor, capable of reshaping an indestructible body internally and suppressing all enemies in the world externally!
However, Hua Yunfei's zither music suddenly changed, and wisps of mysterious Daoist rhymes spread out in the void.

The once invincible Yuan Guang Bao Lun divine radiance has now vanished without a trace, its power completely lost.

The dazzling light struck the falling petals, yet was effortlessly deflected, a sight that stunned everyone present.

"This is... the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique?!" In the human camp, an old cultivator with white hair suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"The Sacred Technique of Myriad Transformations?"

"What kind of secret technique is it?"

"It can actually withstand the ancient emperor's secret technique?"

There was much discussion in the room, as the vast majority of cultivators were unfamiliar with the name.

A young cultivator couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what is the origin of this Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique? How can it rival the secret techniques of the Primordial Emperor?"

The old cultivator's expression was solemn: "This is an unparalleled secret technique created by the Ruthless Great Emperor, a legendary technique comparable to the Nine Secrets!"

"The Ruthless Great Emperor?!"

"That supreme being who attained enlightenment through demonic arts?!"

The moment the name was uttered, it caused a huge uproar. In the crowd, Jiang Yifei's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "It really was him."

He had sensed something about Hua Yunfei from their first meeting, and now that the other party had unleashed his ruthless skills, it undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

But Jiang Yifei still had doubts: Was Hua Yunfei the mastermind who had been hiding in the shadows all along, or was he also a pawn being manipulated?
If he were truly the person behind it all, he wouldn't have revealed his identity so easily.

After all, both the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art require devouring all kinds of physiques, and such behavior is destined to make one an enemy of all those with special physiques in the world.

"No wonder he was able to injure the bloodline of an ancient emperor with his mortal body," someone whispered. "The legacy of a ruthless person is indeed terrifying."

Only Hua Yunfei smiled bitterly to himself: "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, I've gone all out for the sake of humanity. It wasn't in vain that you saved me from hell!"

"Zheng——"

The sound of the zither ripped through the sky, and the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique was activated to its limit. Three thousand flying flowers were like blades, each carrying the power to sever the Dao, disintegrating Yuan Gu's protective divine light inch by inch.

The Yuan Guang Reincarnation Wheel trembled violently, its divine radiance dimmed, and it was suppressed to the point of almost coming to a standstill!

"Puff puff!"

Blood splattered as Yuan Gu's body was pierced by countless flying petals, his imperial blood raining down. His arms, legs, and even his head disintegrated amidst the music, shattered into countless pieces!
"Yuan Gu has been defeated?!"

The ancient clan's powerful figures were horrified. No one had expected that the dignified eighth-generation descendant of the Yuan Emperor would be dismembered by someone using the sound of a zither!

however--

"boom!"

The rain of blood suddenly reversed, every drop of imperial blood glowing, shattered bones reforming, and flesh regenerating.

Yuan Gu's voice came from the void, carrying a chilling killing intent: "You think you can kill me like this?"
