Chapter 934: Chapter 654: Evolution of Life
In the blink of an eye.
The three Great World Venerables all completely collapsed.
Two were captured on the spot,
only the Gale World Venerable relied on the Wind Bloodline Divine Ability and the Divine Artifact projection to forcefully break through Mystic Sky Alliance’s defenses, throwing away armor and fleeing into the Ruins Sea.
Leaving the Divine Alliance’s army behind in place.
Countless Divine Race warriors’ expressions changed drastically.
The clones of the three Great World Venerables, combined with the Divine Artifact projection, could even contend with the Third Step, yet in the blink of an eye, they were defeated by Lu Chenzhou and fled in disarray.
Just how strong is this Mystic Sky Alliance Master?
Having just broken through the Eighth Realm, is he already invincible in the world?
In this war, they saw no hope.
"Alliance Master, should we pursue?"
Emperor Shitian asked.
"The monk can run, but the temple can’t, let’s deal with this defeated army first, then march on the Divine Alliance!"
Lu Chenzhou said.
Subduing two World Venerable clones in one battle was already a major victory, the Divine Race World Venerables are not like that Blood Demon Grandmother, having countless clones. For ordinary Eighth Realm, nurturing one Eighth Realm clone is not easy and for the Divine Alliance, the loss is significant. Most importantly, the more than twenty Realm Kings and hundreds of thousands of Divine Race elites they brought in this expedition, also became prisoners of war with the defeat of the World Venerables.
The commander ran away, and the ordinary soldiers didn’t have the will to resist stubbornly; many directly surrendered.
Of course, some high-level Realm Kings of the Divine Alliance, knowing they probably wouldn’t survive, remained very determined.
Lu Chenzhou was also relentless, merely sweeping his stick lightly to kill these Realm Kings.
One by one, souls were absorbed by the Martial Arts Tree. Given his current realm, the proficiency provided by Realm Kings wasn’t much, but the numbers made up for it. After the executions, the Five Elements Dao and Wind and Thunder Dao were not far from the Seventh Rank.
"The Divine Race will never be defeated." said an old Peak Realm King, his eyes bloodshot as he gazed at Lu Chenzhou.
As an elder of the Divine Race, he’s an absolute Divine Race supremacist and a supporter of bloodline theory.
"You lowly mortal bloodlines can only flash like meteors and after countless years, those who dominate the heavens will still be our Divine Race bloodlines."
Compared to them, ordinary Divine Race warriors had shallow bloodlines and an average status in the hierarchically strict Divine Race, mostly being cannon fodder.
Thus, their sense of belonging and recognition for the Divine Race bloodline wasn’t very strong, all of which were results of Lu Chenzhou secretly observing the Divine Race through spies over the years. He felt he could disintegrate the Divine Alliance from within, with this thought, he looked at the war prisoners and said:
"The Mystic Sky Alliance is benevolent, if not for the circumstances and the big picture, this Alliance Master wouldn’t want to kill. How about this, I offer you a clear path, swear a dual oath of Divine Blood and Dao, and I’ll organize you into a war prisoner group, giving you a chance to atone for your crimes. Anyone who earns enough military merits has the hope of becoming an official member of the Mystic Sky Alliance."
These prisoners, numbering as many as four hundred thousand, all elite, the Mystic Sky Alliance still needs to march on the Divine Alliance and those worlds ruled by the Demon Race, needing a lot of "cannon fodder."
Such cannon fodder work.
Assigning it to the prisoners was most suitable. Lu Chenzhou couldn’t bear sending his own people to die meaninglessly.
Mainly because their low-level combat power couldn’t provide him with any Dao Essence; killing them all would be a waste.
Better to use them to their fullest.
The Spirit Phoenix Dominator said:
"You should be grateful to the Alliance Master for his immense grace!"
Immediately, a crowd of Divine Race warriors knelt, kowtowing to show submission, knowing that swearing the oath meant becoming slaves and tools, most likely as cannon fodder.
But putting up with a miserable life is better than dying a good death.
"You... you actually betrayed your bloodline and surrendered to humans." Xuanshan Venerable looked on in despair as his subordinates defected.
"When disaster is imminent, aren’t the two World Venerables just concerned with saving their own skins, not caring about us at all?"
A young Divine Race warrior sneered.
"The Divine Race’s fate is exhausted; the downfall of the Divine Alliance is inevitable, not even the alliance of the Three World Venerables could match Alliance Master Lu. What of Yan Ming’s Third Step?"
One Divine Race member questioned.
"Indeed, maybe surrendering early is the only way out. The adults always say there’s an irreconcilable conflict between the Divine Race and humans? But even after going to war, I didn’t know why I was fighting or for whom I was fighting. Up to now in the war, relatives, friends, teachers, have died unclear deaths; it wasn’t for defending civilization or for any benefit, it’s just like opposing humans was some obligatory act, just because of an adult’s fleeting thought, we go on to die one after another."
A Divine Race warrior sighed.
Lu Chenzhou silently watched, allowing these Divine Race warriors to vent their dissatisfaction at the two World Venerables.
Xuanshan and Thunder remained silent.
After a moment, the two sighed:
"Alliance Master Lu, please end it quickly. No matter who’s right or wrong, we’ve reached a point of no return in this war. These surrendered children of the Divine Race possess lowly Divine Blood, and little potential, thus posing no threat to humans. If Mystic Sky indeed gains victory one day, and the Divine Race perishes, please leave them a path to survival."
Lu Chenzhou swung his stick twice, shattering the Thunder and Xuanshan Venerable clones, scattering their souls.
Two surging streams of Earth Dao Essence and Thunder Dao Essence poured into the Martial Arts Tree, pushing the Five Elements Dao and Wind and Thunder Dao across the threshold, entering the Seventh Rank together.
In his eyes, the Five Elements birthed, Wind and Thunder alternated, Yin and Yang evolved, transforming with Chaos.
"Five Elements and Wind and Thunder, born of Chaos, are also the cornerstone of world creation. To evolve a complete and realistic world, these are essential."
At the same time.
In the Xia Realm, the small world opened by Lu Chenzhou further expanded, Chaotic Qi Flow swallowed towards the surrounding Void, evolving colorful Elemental Power of heaven and earth, sculpting mountains and oceans within the world, and in a very short time evolving a group of jellyfish-like strange lifeforms in the ocean.
"Is this the wonder of creation?" Lu Chenzhou felt somewhat excited in his heart, these life forms were very low-level, akin to single-celled organisms, yet they were created by him using the world, Five Elements, and Wind and Thunder. Creating low-level life is only achievable by Great Power.
Being a creator was wondrous.
"As my Dao improves, one day I’ll be able to create intelligent beings capable of Cultivation, or Transcendent beings born powerful."
Lu Chenzhou’s consciousness left the small world.
The Xuanshan World Venerable and Thunder World Venerable’s two clones were very poor, aside from a few dozen High Grade Primordial Stones and some trash Spiritual Weapons, they had nothing else, the Divine Artifact projection shattered and returned to the original upon their death.
"Thank you, I appreciate it!"
Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign led Nami and the upper echelons of the Sea Dominating Royal Family, half-kneeling on the ground, performing a grand salute.
"What are your plans, Venerable?"
Lu Chenzhou asked.
"I... I want to join the Mystic Sky Alliance, but with my Divine Race identity, I’m afraid it might embarrass the Hierarch," Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign said anxiously.
The only plan now was to cling tightly to Lu Chenzhou’s leg, or else once the Divine Alliance recovered, the first to be eradicated would surely be Wan Shui Realm.
"Hahaha, your Wan Shui Realm dared to confront the Divine Alliance alone for the greater good. I, Lu Chenzhou, naturally dare to take you in. What’s embarrassing about that?"
Lu Chenzhou laughed.
He knew that taking in Wan Shui Realm would surely attract opposition from some forces persecuted by the Divine Race.
But they were only a minority.
He was more confident that before the current situation, most people with normal judgment would agree.
"Indeed, to be honest, when we heard you led an army to blitz Flame Bright Great World, we couldn’t believe it. If it were me, I might not have the courage,"
the bald strongman laughed heartily.
"Welcome new friends."
The Spirit Phoenix Dominator smiled charmingly.
Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign’s old tears flowed sideways as he tightly gripped the Three-pronged Divine Halberd, raised it high, and said, "I swear by the blood of the Heluo Fish and the Water Dao..."
Other Sea Clan warriors also took the oath together.
The voices were earth-shattering.
The captured Divine Race warriors looked at this magical scene, always feeling like they were dreaming.
One person defeated Three World Venerables.
And subdued Wan Shui Realm.
That human Martial Artist of humble bloodline achieved what can be called a miracle in this era.
"Now is the time to pursue the rout with remaining courage, as morale is high among our troops. Everyone may rest briefly for a period of time. In three months, we will launch an expedition to the Flame Bright Realm and engage in a grand battle with the Divine Alliance."
Lu Chenzhou did not intend to wait any longer.
The news of the Mystic Sky Alliance’s great defeat over the Divine Alliance quickly spread throughout the Eastern Extreme Territory and even the Three Thousand Realms.
...
"Hahaha, Chenzhou is becoming more impressive; killing a Realm Lord is like slaughtering a dog. My disciple Ji Xuantong is now a top-level powerhouse in the Great Universe."
Master Ji boasted while sipping drinks at the sect gathering.
"Master Ancestor, my master is almost invincible in the world. I’ve even reached Breakthrough Fifth. When will you become a Grandmaster?" Li Yu couldn’t help but laugh at the dinner table.
"As the only one among us who hasn’t reached Breakthrough Forth, you, little Ji, really need to reflect on this."
Qingtian Cang laughed heartily.
In the corner.
Shi Ruyu smiled silently.
The current Lu Chenzhou stood tall like the Kunlun Immortal Peak piercing the clouds, too far from the Human World.
With the great victory on the frontlines, Tianxia celebrated universally and even designated Lu Chenzhou’s Breakthrough Eighth day as a legal holiday to allow the working class a few days off.
...
"Defeated three World Venerables alone? Two dead, one escaped, even shattered the Divine Artifact projection?"
"Fake news, right? The Mystic Sky Alliance loves to hype things up. I don’t believe he can be that strong."
"It’s probably true. Not long ago, Wan Shui Realm publicly announced joining the Mystic Sky Alliance. Unexpectedly, Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign bet correctly. After Lu Chenzhou’s Breakthrough Eighth, he already has Third Step strength. With such a great backer on the list, they indeed do not fear the Divine Alliance."
The neutral Three World Venerables had expressions of astonishment.
"So what should we do?"
"Should we also join the Mystic Sky Alliance?"
"Joining now, they may not even want us. Let’s wait a bit longer. Doing nothing at least won’t be wrong. Wan Shui only made a lucky bet."
...
"Useless, truly a bunch of useless creatures, losing with three against one while getting two counter-killed. What is wrong with the Divine Alliance, truly hopeless."
"I told you not to pay attention, yet you insisted on looking. It’s self-inflicted, so why put yourself through it?"
The Eye of Truth,
even the Evil Gods were in agony.
They watched Lu Chenzhou grow stronger with open eyes but couldn’t do a thing about it. From assassination attempts since Lu Chenzhou’s youth to when he became an old man of a hundred years, every attempt had failed numbly. Even cursing failed, only making Lu Chenzhou progressively stronger.
How can this be fought?
...
Time passed.
On this day.
A gale descended upon the Flame Bright Great World.
The voice of Gale World Venerable was like thunder.
"Big brother! It’s not good news!"
