215: The Storm of the Worlds

Time and space froze, and heaven and earth stood still.

A vast, ancient, and majestic aura emanated from the sky-reaching figure in the firmament. His hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his attire was exceedingly ancient, bearing a distinct difference from the contemporary Human Race's clothing.

His eyes were closed, and he emitted no earth-shattering power, yet it made people feel from the bottom of their hearts that the entire world should, as a matter of course, be trampled under his feet.

Heng Kong Human King's eyes welled with tears as he knelt on the floor of the Eternal Heaven Hall, kowtowing frantically, producing thudding sounds. Despite his advanced age, he wept like a child.

“Your unfilial descendant, Heng Kong, greets our ancestor. Your descendant is incompetent, unable to support the Hengtian Human Clan, allowing it to be bullied by various realms and oppressed by the Dragon Clan. Even after striving my entire life, I could only barely maintain the independence of the Hengtian Human Clan…”

Heng Kong Human King finally muttered, his eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling, and he choked with sobs.

Although the Heng Family also had Human Kings, the Nine Great Human Kings disappeared after the Human Race split in the Mythical Era. While the families of the Nine Great Human Kings had descendants with the Bloodline of Human Kings, they did not obtain the complete Legacy of a Human King.

From the beginning of the Primordial Era, the Divine Soul of the Hengtian Ancestral Court, and even the Divine Soul of the entire Hengtian Human Clan, was instilled by the Hengtian Emperor. It was the essence, Qi, and spirit infused by the Hengtian Emperor that allowed the Hengtian Human Clan, through millions of years and countless hardships, to still desperately maintain the independence of the Hengtian Realm, and allowed the major top Sects, despite intense struggles, to unite and stand together against external threats at critical moments.

Heavenly Fortune Daoist and Chu Tian King’s pupils were filled with shock. As Heavenly Ranking Emperors, they could feel the power of the Hengtian Emperor even more profoundly.

“Undying Divine Soul,” Chu Tian King murmured, his voice filled with extreme dread. Facing the illusory image of the Hengtian Emperor, a dignified Heavenly Ranking Emperor, who dared to directly confront the Destiny Dragon Emperor, now felt an immense sense of insignificance, as if looking up at a mountain peak.

“After countless eons, a sliver of consciousness reawakened, and it possesses such earth-shattering power.”

Heavenly Fortune Daoist also exclaimed in shock, then abruptly knelt down, following Heng Kong Human King in kowtowing and worshiping the image of the Hengtian Emperor.

The Cihang Holy Sect has been listed as the strongest Sect in the Hengtian Realm for countless ages, but only a very few people know that the founding ancestor of the Cihang Holy Sect was actually just a general under the Hengtian Emperor, named Cihang War Venerable.

Many Supreme experts knelt down. Within the Saint Heaven Sect, those below the God King realm were suppressed by an invisible Law, unable to even lift their heads, completely unable to see the figure appearing above the firmament.

Those of Supreme nobility in heaven and earth, below the God King realm, had no right to look directly; otherwise, the invisible great power of heaven and earth would naturally grind them into oblivion.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Between the firmament, numerous grand phenomena suddenly permeated: golden lotuses surged within millions of miles, purple Qi surged for nine million miles, coalescing into a winding purple heavenly bridge extending infinitely far.

At the same time, the Hengtian Emperor slowly opened his eyes. Between heaven and earth, it seemed to suddenly brighten at this moment, and the Laws of heaven and earth surged, as if praising this great existence.

“Transforming into Eternal Sky with one’s body, suppressing myriad tribulations with one’s will. Controlling creation and destruction, governing all Dao.”

Between heaven and earth, a grand voice resounded, praising this Supreme and great king.

This was a great Human King who could leave his name in the endless history of myriad realms, engraved within heaven and earth. Even after countless eons had passed since his departure, a momentary resurgence of an undying Divine Soul's will could still make myriad realms submit.

Instantly, a vast, Supreme, and great aura permeated the entire Hengtian Realm, spreading towards all domains.

Feng Changhao, who had just returned to the Eternal Royal Court, looked grim and was about to sit back on his throne, but suddenly stiffened all over.

“The aura of Mythical?”

Feng Changhao’s voice trembled, his face pale, as he was so frightened that he plopped onto the ground. He turned to look at a young man beside him and said, “Has a Mythical being appeared in your Hengtian Realm?”

“Is it Heng Kong Human King, or Chu Tian King, or that old fellow Heavenly Fortune? Impossible, isn’t it?”

“Could it be an old fossil on the verge of passing away, who experienced an Epiphany of creation’s power at the brink of death?”

Feng Changhao was terrified.

If a Mythical being appeared in the Hengtian Realm, he would surely die, definitely be killed. The only reason he escaped this time was entirely due to the pressure from the Eight Realms and the protection of the Dragon Clan; otherwise, he would never have made it out alive.

Beside the imperial seat, a young man in a white robe, youthful in appearance but with exceedingly cold eyes, suddenly looked towards the Saint Heaven Sect. His gaze pierced through the realm rift, saw the Hengtian Emperor, and then his knees bent as he slowly knelt down, murmuring to Feng Changhao, “It’s the Hengtian Emperor.”

Feng Changhao trembled all over, his pupils wide with anger, shaking with fright.

At this moment, the Human Kings from the other seven Human Race Realms also cast their gazes through their human king seals, then their minds went blank with fright. They quickly used their human king seals to seal their respective realms and activated the Origin arrays of each realm, defending strictly.

The Hengtian Emperor, after the Primordial Era, was the only great king who, with sky-reaching power, swept across myriad realms, suppressed the Human Race Nine Realms, and nearly unified the Human Race Nine Realms amidst countless obstacles.

Although the Hengtian Emperor was the Emperor of the Hengtian Realm, with his sky-reaching might and invincible combat power, after his disappearance, Supreme experts in all Nine Realms of the Human Race erected statues for him, built temples for worship, and continuously offered incense, remembering this invincible Mythical being of the Human Race.

At this moment!

All races of the myriad realms, especially in some ancient great realms, even across endless realm boundaries, had Supreme beings who could sense this sky-reaching power. They awoke from slumber or from their Divine Soul wandering in the Void Realm, casting solemn gazes towards the Hengtian Realm.

“Is the ancient Human Race Imperial Court Realm going to stir up trouble in the myriad realms again?” A Shura giant cultivating in the center of a sea of blood murmured.

Dragon Realm, Dragon Emperor Palace.

The Destiny Dragon Emperor’s vast and boundless silver Dragon body spanned the boundless Void Realm. He slowly opened his silver Dragon eyes: “It’s the Hengtian Realm again.”

Somewhere in the Hengtian Realm, in the center of a palace complex shrouded in black clouds.

“Imperial Father, as per your instructions, the preparatory work for the Heart Demon Ancestor’s Legacy has been almost completed ahead of schedule, but the Heart Demon Holy Land requires…” The exquisitely beautiful and fiery Ren Yuxun respectfully reported to a tall figure in a purple robe before her. He had two single horns on his head, adorned with complex demonic patterns, and his eyes were dark purple.

“Hengtian Emperor.”

The Heart Demon Sovereign trembled all over, sensing that great ancient aura. His Divine Soul projection instantly vanished within the palace complex, not daring to linger for a moment.

After the Mythical Era, during the Hengtian Emperor’s era, the Hengtian Realm was once a Forbidden Ground, forbidden to foreign races.
