371: The Great War Breaks Out

On the platform, Ji Qingyi's delicate body trembled violently, and she stood up abruptly!

Her beautiful face was filled with extreme shock, but this shock did not stem entirely from the opening of the Legacy!

It was because the precise source direction of this vast fluctuation, which stirred the heavens and earth and announced the opening of the Legacy, was exactly the same as the direction from which Gu Changge had just emerged!

He had just left the core area, and this ultimate Legacy opened immediately afterward!

This undoubtedly confirmed her suspicions!

This mysterious person not only possessed heaven-defying abilities but had also personally triggered this final situation!

He treated this storm sweeping across the world, this ultimate Opportunity that determined the fate of countless Prodigies, as a trivial matter, opening it with a wave of his hand!

What a grand gesture!

What a Realm!

Ji Qingyi took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her churning emotions. Her cold gaze instantly became as sharp as a sword, filled with unprecedented determination.

The Opportunity had appeared, and the stage was set! Now was certainly not the time for hesitation or speculation!

"Swish——!"

She transformed into a dazzling beam of moonlight and, without the slightest hesitation, rushed toward the direction she sensed as fast as she could!

Not long after the beam of moonlight Ji Qingyi had transformed into disappeared into the Chaos mist, the entire Emperor's Tomb erupted into complete turmoil!

"Swish, swish, swish——!"

Figures emitting vast Auras, like sharks smelling blood, tore through the Void Realm from every corner of the Emperor's Tomb, rushing desperately toward the source of the fluctuations!

Rushing at the very front were the Masters of the Holy Lands and the giants of the Ancient Sects, whose cultivation levels were the deepest and who were the most sensitive to the Opportunity.

"Scram! Those who block me die!"

A violent roar shattered the Void Realm; the Demon Lord of the Southern Domain of the Southern Region Demon Clan rode upon rolling demon clouds.

Wherever he passed, Cultivators with weaker cultivation were instantly blasted into blood mist.

He was accompanied by several Great Saints of the Yao Race, their Evil Qi soaring to the heavens.

"Hmph, you beast, stop being so arrogant! This is the mausoleum of our Human Race's sages; how can we allow you to run wild here!"

A cold attack was launched later but arrived first, its sharp force splitting the demon cloud in two.

It was the Lingxiao Holy Land Master of the Lingxiao Holy Land, who had long-standing grievances with the Yao Race.

Immediately afterward, the Imperial Lord of Great Zhou, the heads of the various Desolate Ancient Families, the Buddha of the Western Regions, and several other obscure but equally powerful old monster Loose Cultivators also tore through space and manifested.

Almost at the same time, the various parties broke through the final barrier of Chaos and stepped into this core space filled with tragic Emperor Might!

The scene before them left everyone breathless!

The crisscrossing traces of a terrifying battle, the Undying Battle Intent filling the air, and the Death Qi of the Emperor Blood all recounted the tragic battle that had once taken place here.

And when their gazes focused on the center of the space.

"That is the Emperor Scripture! The qing cang emperor scripture!!!"

The Imperial Lord of Great Zhou's gaze was like lightning; he instantly locked onto the dark golden scripture on the stone platform, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid.

An Elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion stared fixedly at the traces on the ground and the Dao Rhyme lingering in the air, his voice trembling with extreme excitement.

"Great Emperor Qing Cang! Ancient records state: Xuanhuang blood-soaked soil, battle marks never fade; this is the place where the Great Emperor Qing Cang, who once fought a bloody path for the Human Race amidst the cracks of ten thousand races, fell!"

Great Emperor Qing Cang!

This name exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap!

Although records were scarce, his achievements of fighting a bloody battle to open the heavens for the Human Race were enough to explain everything!

This was a peerless War Emperor with illustrious achievements and decisive killing!

In an instant, everyone's gazes became incomparably scorching, fixed firmly on that volume of the "qing cang emperor scripture"!

However, not everyone was qualified to covet that ultimate Emperor Scripture.

Some weaker factions and Loose Cultivators, knowing that this Emperor Scripture was not something they could covet, turned their gazes toward the surrounding stone walls.

"Look at the stone walls! Those are the lifelong insights into the Dao and Spells left by the Great Emperor!"

"Heavens! The Great Emperor did not set any Restrictions; the Dao marks are clearly visible, allowing anyone to comprehend them!"

"If we can't snatch the Emperor Scripture, being able to imprint even a portion of the Great Emperor's Dao and Spells would still be a massive Opportunity!"

Exclamations arose everywhere, and more self-aware Cultivators surged like a tide toward the surrounding stone walls, instantly erupting into a fierce melee to fight for advantageous positions near the walls.

The brilliance of Spells and the sound of weapons clashing were endless.

Amidst this Chaos, the Prodigies of the younger generation also arrived at this place, one after another, under the protection of their respective Elders.

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and others also arrived at the edge of this core area with the flow of people.

As soon as they stepped in, they were shaken by the terrifying Aura generated by the standoff between the Holy Land Masters and giants high above, causing their blood to churn and their faces to turn pale.

The qing cang emperor scripture floating on the stone platform emitted a seductive light, but the invisible force field surrounding it, which was strong enough to strangle a Saint, clearly warned everyone that this object was definitely not something they could touch at the moment.

Several existences standing at the Peak of the Xuanhuang Great World locked their Auras onto each other; none of them made the first move, but the battle of words had already begun, exploding in the Void Realm like thunder.

"Hmph!"

The Imperial Lord of Great Zhou spoke first, his voice like a great bell, carrying unquestionable majesty.

"Great Emperor Qing Cang is a sage of our Human Race; he cleared away brambles and thorns to open up eternal peace for the Human Race! I rule over billions of miles of territory and countless subjects, carrying on the will of our ancestors to forge ahead! This Emperor Scripture should be inherited by my Great Zhou, only then can we live up to the contributions of the War Emperor's bloody battles of the past!"

"Amitabha."

The Buddha of the Western Regions chanted a Buddhist title: "Imperial Lord, those words are incorrect. The Great Emperor's Dao encompasses everything. This scripture contains supreme Battle Intent and compassion, which perfectly aligns with our Buddhist sect's great vow to subdue demons, defend the Dao, and save all living beings. This object has an affinity with my Buddha."

"Shut up, you bald donkey! Stop putting on a hypocritical act here!"

The Demon Lord of the Southern Domain's voice sounded like metal clashing, filled with violence and tyranny.

"Treasures of heaven and earth belong to those who are capable! What Human Race, what Yao Race, bullshit! Since I, this Emperor, have come today, I am determined to have this Emperor Scripture! Whoever dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

The Lingxiao Holy Land Master Lingxiao snorted coldly, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens, shaking the Void Realm until fine cracks appeared.

"This place is the resting place of a Human Race Great Emperor; how can we allow you of the Yao Race to be presumptuous! As for who the Emperor Scripture belongs to, we shall rely on our own means!"

Between their words, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder!

The Auras of the Saint-level figures from the various major factions climbed step by step, the terrifying energy fluctuations causing the minds of countless Cultivators below to feel as if they were about to crack, forcing them to retreat repeatedly; even approaching the stone walls became incomparably difficult.

"Boom——!!!"

Finally, it was unknown who made the first move, and the balance was instantly broken!

A demon claw tearing through the firmament, an Imperial Dragon Qi piercing through the Void Realm, a Buddha light purifying all things, a sharp Sword Intent capable of slaying stars...

Several terrifying forces, each capable of easily destroying a Great World, collided violently!

An explosion that could not be described in words occurred!

The energy storm, like the beginning of the Universe, swept out in all directions!

The Cultivators fighting in the melee below were blown away like fallen leaves in a gale, and those with weaker cultivation were instantly obliterated in body and soul!

Even Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and others had to exert their full strength to circulate their Cultivation Techniques and bring out protective Magic Treasures to barely stabilize their figures in the aftermath of this world-destroying event, their expressions incomparably grave.

Is this the power of the Saint King level? Truly terrifying!

However, just as the aftermath of this terrifying battle was about to completely destroy this core area——

"Hum..."

The entire Emperor's Tomb, as if possessing life, trembled slightly.

An even more ancient, even more vast, and supreme will silently descended.

The Saint King-level battle aftermath, which was capable of destroying heaven and earth, was, in the face of this will, like a pebble thrown into the ocean; it could not even stir up many ripples before being silently suppressed and smoothed over.

It was the power of the Emperor Array left behind by Great Emperor Qing Cang!

It maintained the fundamental stability of this place and would not allow it to be completely destroyed!

Detecting this, the several Holy Land Masters were first startled, then even more scorching light erupted in their eyes, and they became even more unscrupulous!

Since the Emperor's Tomb itself could withstand their power, what else was there to worry about?

"Kill!"

The great battle erupted completely!
