Fang Chengzhi felt dizzy when he heard the words "the true dragon descends to the world, the master of fate". However, he also had a hint of stubborn doubt. He thought that his father was just exaggerating. How could it be so exaggerated?
Nobody knew a son better than his father. Leader Fang knew what was on his son's mind without looking back. He sneered, "In terms of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and marvelous arts, Elder Scorching Sun has the techniques left by dozens of old monsters of the 'Saint Fire Dynasty'.
"In terms of magical equipment and weapons, he has an entire arsenal and countless pieces of primeval treasures.
"In terms of experts, he is one of the best experts in the world himself. Even the Three Saints, Four Rapscallions, and Master Spiritual Vulture might not have been able to compete with him when they were still alive. Besides, those experts in the past have all died and fled. Elder Scorching Sun is the only one who stands out!
"After he broke out of seclusion, he defeated quite a few top experts in the world in a row. His reputation soared for a moment, and countless unaffiliated Cultivators from all over the world came to join him. After only a few years, those unaffiliated Cultivators were refined by him with marvelous pills and equipped with unparalleled weapons. Their Cultivation soared, too!
"Today, not only are there more than ten Yuanying in the Red Sun Sect, the Yuanying armed with the pieces of primeval treasures boast an unbelievably high combat ability. One Cultivator of the Red Sun Sect can easily defeat three Cultivators of the same level from other sects. Even the six major sects in their prime years did not have such dominance and martial arts!
"In terms of troops, you've seen it with your own eyes on your way here. Elder Scorching Sun polishes the soldiers with the 'Angry Fire Holy Water' below the ground and asks them to practice the advanced fighting arts from the 'Saint Fire Dynasty'. All the mortal soldiers have been trained into ferocious, determined warriors with infinite strength. Out of every five soldiers, one can become a congenital warrior. The experts who can be a centurion in other armies can only be insignificant captains here. Such a terrifying army has more than a million soldiers!
"Neither the most elite royal army of the Great Qian Dynasty nor the Ghost Qin's cavalry on the Dark Cloud Prairies are capable of competing with the 'Angry Fire Army'. Right now, Elder Scorching Sun has dominated the heartland of the central plateaus. From now on, the court and the Dark Cloud Prairies are nowhere to be seen. The only thing that can be seen is Elder Scorching Sun's flag!
"Tell me, what is it if it is not a true dragon, a king's aura, or destiny?
"After today's Rising Sun Ceremony, the Angry Fire Army and the Red Sun Sect are about to march to conquer the world. The six major sects, the court of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Dark Cloud Prairies, are all targets. But the six major sects are stubborn's and are's's's's's.
"The Green Cloud Sword Sect is a branch of the Purple Pole Sword Sect. Because of the fatal connection, if we do not surrender in a hurry, we will be buried together with the Purple Pole Sword Sect. Our hundred years of foundation will be gone in one day. The two of us and the rest of our family will all be blown into smithereens and die without a proper burial!
"I've been racking my brains day and night in fear, trying to figure out how to protect the tiny Qingyun Sword Sect from the overwhelming power of the Scorching Flame Ancestor. You, little bastard, know nothing about it. How arrogant you are!"
Fang Chengzhi was cursed hard by his father, but 'Green Willow's' bad temper was triggered. He replied in private talk, too, "Although Elder Scorching Sun is tough, the six major sects, the court of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Dark Cloud Prairies are not easy to deal with, either. As the saying goes, even a rotten ship has three nails. Even if they are leaderless, will the deep-rooted forces wait to be killed?"
"What are they doing right now if not waiting to be killed?"
Leader Fang sneered. "Ever since the ten experts of the Ancient Sages Sector mysteriously went missing together three years ago, the six major sects, the court of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Dark Cloud Prairies, the White Lotus Cult, the Heaven Battering Army, and other forces have all laid low and never extended their claws to the outside world in the past three years.
"Even though Elder Scorching Sun rose out of nowhere, expanded on a large scale, and even rode on their heads lawlessly, they still turned a blind eye to him and tolerated him to the point that they were even willing to swallow their own saliva. Did they have the dominance of the past at all?
"Had it not been for their lack of capability, would they have allowed Elder Scorching Sun to be so arrogant?
"The relationship between the Green Cloud Sword Sect and the Purple Pole Sword Sect is very unusual. As your father, I've learned a lot of unquestionable information. Three years ago, a world-shaking bloody battle did break out in the depths of the Land of Eternal Night. Not only were the top ten experts of the Ancient Sages Sector involved, even the thousands of high-level Cultivators under their command took part in the battle, too. It is said that heads were rolling, and blood was flowing like a river. The casualties were too heavy!
"After the battle, many forces suffered heavy losses. Also, because of the uncanny disappearance of their leader, they were all unable to recover from the setback.
"Before they slowly recovered, Elder Scorching Sun was born again and swallowed all their fortunes. A lot of resources, territory, civilians, experts, and vassal sects all took Elder Scorching Sun's side. How do you think those forces can rise again?
"All in all, one of them is thriving, and the other is dying. Elder Scorching Sun is as brilliant as the sun in the sky, and the Great Qian Dynasty, Dark Cloud Sword Sect, the six major sects, the White Lotus Cult, and the Heaven Battering Army are nothing more than bones in a grave waiting to be killed!
"Even if we do not aspire to be the reigning emperor, there is no reason for us to be tied to the bones in the grave and die together with them!"
Fang Chengzhi was somewhat convinced by his father. He stammered, "But I'm told that the top ten experts did not go missing uncannily, nor did they die together. Instead, they went to the sea together to search for the deities' realm!
"Before they left, didn't they leave a 'Divine Wrath Order', claiming that they would return to the Ancient Sages Sector in a year and a half with the marvelous treasures of the deities' realm and that all the Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector should behave themselves and not use their weapons recklessly?
"Whoever disobeyed the 'Divine Wrath Order' and committed crimes while they were away would certainly be suppressed and killed by the infinite fire of retribution on the day of their return!"
"What 'Divine Wrath Order'? It's just a bluff."
Leader Fang sneered. "In the past hundred thousand years, too many unparalleled experts of the Ancient Sages Sector set off to search for the deities' realm. Did any of them return? Even the experts above the Divinity Transformation Stage in the past were killed in the boundless darkness. The Three Saints and the Four Rapscallions were merely at the peak of the Yuanying Stage. They had not even touched the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Stage, and they set off to search for the deities' realm? What a joke!
"As you said, they said in the 'Divine Wrath Order' that they would return in a year and a half. It has been three years. Where are the marvelous treasures of the deities' realm? Where are the deities' soldiers and generals?
"In my opinion, the whole thing couldn't have been simpler. It is true that the top ten experts found some secret treasures deep inside the Land of Eternal Night, and it is also true that they fought and brutalized each other for the secret treasures. However, they were all caught in the trap. Perhaps they encountered the defense arrays of the primeval era, and the top ten experts were all obliterated.
"Their disciples and followers knew that, once the news was out, the world would certainly be in chaos, and all the heroes would rise together. The once dominating forces would be like fish on a chopping board! Therefore, the forces that were hostile to each other reached a deal in secret and made up the absurd lie of 'searching for the deities' realm '. It was actually a delaying tactic. It would be best if they could wait for a few years so that they could recover their strength slowly.
"Hehe. It's a pity that man proposes, but fate disposes. They didn't expect that a true dominator such as Elder Scorching Sun would be born. Naturally, their lie could not be maintained any longer and collapsed on its own!"
His father's analysis was reasonable and impeccable. Even Fang Chengzhi, who had always been proud, could only be convinced. "You do have a point, Father. It seems … to be true!"
"I've traveled in the world of Cultivators for almost a hundred years. What uncanny things have I not seen before? How can such a hilarious trick fool my eyes?"
Leader Fang sneered. Then, his face suddenly changed. He waved his sleeves and said, "Quiet. Elder is here!"
The cheers from all directions died down at some point, replaced by chants that were more and more agitated. They did not seem to be from the throat of a human being but more like the violent spiritual energy contained in the infinite fire that was burning the air in the thousand square kilometers nearby!
"A million soldiers of the Angry Fire Army, thirty thousand disciples of the Red Sun Sect, and a hundred thousand Cultivators from the three thousand sects in the world welcome Elder's arrival …"
Together with the voices that seemed to be blown out of the horns, 'Green Willow' Fang Chengzhi only saw that hundreds of colorful fireballs were flying up from the depths of the valley unhurriedly!
When the fireballs flew into the sky, they were like a well-organized, well-organized army that occupied the entire sky densely.
The distance between every fireball was exactly the same, turning the sky into a giant chessboard that was full of chess pieces.
"Pa!"
All the fireballs exploded at the same time, turning into hideous, vivid ferocious beasts.
Thousands of fireballs and thousands of ferocious beasts, including wolves, tigers, leopards, and everything else, were raging in the sky of the valley, releasing astonishing flames of spiritual energy. But no two ferocious beasts of fire were exactly the same. Every ferocious beast had a unique posture and movement, as if they had their own life.
The ferocious beasts of fire roared for a while and turned into thousands of deities and devils that stared at everybody from the high stance. They also had three heads and six arms, green faces and tusks, and human heads and snake bodies. There were all kinds of bizarre appearances, but the power and pressure that they released were multiple levels higher than that of the ferocious beasts of fire just now.
A lot of Cultivators who were not strong enough in the valley were suffocating under the pressure and sweating hard because of the roasting. They could not have been more embarrassed!
