122: Chapter 122 Old man, someone's bullying your grandson!

"Slash!"

Though Hua Tianchi's figure was somewhat ethereal, the light shining from his eyes was like a blade of solid substance, sharp to the point where one dared not look directly at it.

He made no extra movements, simply bringing his fingers together to form a blade and making a light slicing motion towards the patch of void occupied by the projections of the Alien Race Venerable Spirits.

The action was casual and effortless, as if he were swatting away an annoying fly.

However!

Sssshhhhrrrrip!

A terrifying blade aura, spanning the firmament and ten thousand zhang long, instantly tore through heaven and earth!

This blade aura wasn't a single color, but manifested an ultimate grayish-white—a pure, destructive concept so extreme it could even sever the laws of space!

Wherever it passed, the void was easily sliced apart like fragile, thin paper, revealing the pitch-black, deep chaos turbulence behind!

An aura of death that made souls tremble instantly enveloped the entire Sacred Martial Mountain!

"Not good!"

"This blade aura... there's something strange about it! Retreat, quickly!"

The projections of the Alien Race Venerable Spirits, who had been arrogant and aloof just moments ago, all changed expressions drastically the instant they sensed this lethal threat!

They could clearly feel that within that blade aura was not only terrifying energy, but also contained a supreme will capable of severing causality and erasing existence!

It was a peerless blade intent belonging to the peak of the Venerable Spirit realm, even touching upon a higher level!

Once struck, not only would this projection dissipate, but even their true bodies would suffer irreversible damage!

Without any hesitation, they each unleashed their own life-saving divine abilities, trying to evade this certain-kill blow.

Golden light flashed, bloody shadows multiplied, sword energy crisscrossed...

All sorts of dazzling lights interwove in the air, attempting to construct layers of seemingly impregnable defenses.

But, too slow!

Before Hua Tianchi's enraged strike, their reaction speed was laughably slow, like snails!

The blade aura flashed like lightning, sweeping past instantly!

No hindrance, no pause!

Pop! Pop! Pop!

A series of soft sounds, like bubbles bursting, rang out one after another in the void.

A full four or five saint projections, not even having time to scream, were bisected by this terrifying blade aura!

Their bodies rapidly disintegrated within the blade aura, turning into a sky full of energy motes that ultimately dissipated into nothingness!

Even the defensive divine abilities they had previously condensed were, under this single slash, as if non-existent, instantly shattered!

The remaining few saint projections, though they luckily escaped death, were all wounded, their auras withered to the extreme.

In their eyes, the previous arrogance and contempt were gone, replaced by boundless terror and shock!

Too strong!

Just how strong is this?!

This is merely a clone transformed from a life-bound blade seal!

It probably doesn't even have half the power of the true body!

Yet it could slash and destroy several saint projections with one blow, heavily wounding the rest?!

Then if Hua Tianchi's true body were to personally arrive... what kind of despair and terror would that be?!

They simply dared not imagine!

The Alien Race Guardians below were even more frightened out of their wits by this scene!

One by one, their legs went weak, they collapsed to the ground, lacking even the courage to flee!

They had long heard of the fame of the Human Race's Nine Saints, knowing each was a peerless fierce person who had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

But after all, they hadn't witnessed it personally, so deep down they were somewhat dismissive.

They felt the so-called 'Human Race's Nine Saints' were merely exaggerated boasts.

But seeing it today, they truly understood what it means that a great reputation is not unfounded!

What kind of people are these?

These are clearly a pack of ancient ferocious beasts wearing human skin!

Especially this Hua Tianchi, he's practically a god of slaughter reborn!

"Bastard! This is simply intolerable!"

The Quasi-Saint of the Golden God Clan, seeing his clan's ancestor's projection slain, trembled with rage, his eyes spitting fire, his teeth grinding in fury!

It was a trampling on the dignity of the Golden God Clan! A desecration of his faith!

"Hua Tianchi! Do you really think a mere clone of yours can protect that little beast?"

"Since you want a fight to the death, don't blame me for not following the rules!"

A flash of mad resolve passed through his eyes as he violently struck his own chest!

"Puh!"

A large mouthful of essence blood, rich with dense origin power, sprayed onto a Golden Scepter in his hand!

That was the Golden God Clan's supreme treasure guarding the clan—the Golden God Scepter!

It was said to be left behind by an ancient emperor of the Golden God Clan in antiquity, possessing the supreme power to connect two realms and summon a true spirit!

"I beseech the ancestor's true spirit to descend! Slay this fiend!"

He let out a shrill, piercing roar!

Hummm!

The scepter blazed with light, and a terrifying aura, at least ten times stronger than before, erupted from that Quasi-Saint's body!

His body began to violently expand, layers of densely packed golden runes appearing on the surface of his skin.

His eyes instantly turned pure gold, devoid of any emotion, holding only endless majesty and indifference!

That was... the consciousness of the Golden God Clan ancestor!

Possessing the body to be reborn!

Although it could only be maintained for an extremely short time, and would cause irreversible damage to this physical body.

But at this moment, the combat power he could unleash was infinitely close to that of a true Venerable Spirit!

Immediately after!

Several more terrifying auras shot up into the sky!

The Magic Tiger Clan, the Blood Clan, the Sword Spirit Clan...

Seeing this, the remaining Quasi-Saint powerhouses also followed suit.

They knew that if they didn't fight desperately today, none of them would leave this place alive!

Let alone avenge their fallen geniuses!

One by one, they spared no expense, burning lifespan and their foundation, even igniting their souls, to summon the true spirits of their clan ancestors!

For a time, above Sacred Martial Mountain, the winds shifted and clouds churned, lightning flashed and thunder roared!

A full seven or eight 'Venerable Spirits' with terrifying auras and world-suppressing pressure surrounded Hua Tianchi's clone!

Their auras connected, forming a sky-obscuring, sun-blocking energy storm that dyed the entire sky in a riot of colors!

A few among them were even old acquaintances who had descended to spy when Ning Yuan first cultivated and triggered a vision!

"Hua Tianchi! Although this clone of yours is strong, it is after all just a clone!"

"Even if your true body were to personally arrive, facing the combined force of so many of us, you'd have to weigh your options!"

"Today, you cannot protect him!"

"Hand over that HumanKid, or else... die!"

Several 'Venerable Spirits' joined forces to exert pressure, that terrifying imposing force seeming as if it would crush the entire Ancestral Star!

The earth trembled, mountains collapsed, countless living beings shivered under this pressure as if doomsday had arrived!

Facing such a hopeless situation.

Hua Tianchi showed not the slightest fear. Instead, he threw his head back and let out a wild, supremely arrogant laugh!

"Hahahaha!"

"Good, good, good!"

"What a fine bunch of shameless old bastards!"

"Can't beat the junior, so you bring out the seniors; can't beat one, so you bring a whole group!"

"You lot have truly taken the phrase 'shameless' to its absolute extreme!"

The blade intent in his eyes grew even sharper, his imposing aura not diminishing but instead increasing!

"Do you truly think my Human Race has no one?!"

"Do you truly think this Hua Tianchi is easy to bully?!"

He suddenly turned his head, looking towards the distant depths of the starry sky, in the direction belonging to the Human Race's strongest.

Using all his strength and channeling his full power, he let out a roar powerful enough to shake the entire starry river!

"Old bastard!"

"Stop pretending to be dead!"

"Someone's bullying your Grandson! How much longer are you going to sit there watching the show?!"

"If you don't get your ass out here, I'll take Yuaner and change his surname to Hua!"

"I'll have him call me Grandpa and call you Grandfather!"

This shout truly startled heaven and earth, moved ghosts and gods!

Not only did it spread throughout the entire Ancestral Star, it transformed into an invisible sound wave, piercing through layer upon layer of void barriers, madly diffusing towards the depths of the universe!

Boom! Rumble! Rumble!

This voice, like thunder transcending time and space, instantly pierced through the endless sea of stars, exploding in the deepest part of the Human Race Territory!

Blood Sea Star Pass!

This was a star domain filled with slaughter and death, perpetually shrouded in thick blood fiend energy.

And in the deepest part of the Star Pass, upon a White Bone Throne piled high with countless alien race corpses.

Thunder Martial Saint—Ning Jianghe, who had been in secluded cultivation, comprehending the supreme Great Dao.

Those eyes that had been closed for who knows how many years, at this moment, suddenly snapped open!

Boom!

Two bolts of purple lightning shot out from his eyes, instantly piercing the void before him and blasting away a large swath of the sky-filling blood fiend energy!

An aura more terrifying and violent by countless times than ever before erupted from within him!

The entire Blood Sea Star Pass trembled violently under this aura, as if it might collapse at any moment!

Countless Human Race powerhouses stationed here were startled by this aura, casting gazes of awe and shock.

"Lord Hua Tianchi... has emerged from seclusion?!"

"Such a terrifying aura! Has Lord Hua Tianchi's power advanced again?!"

"Just what happened? To make Lord Hua Tianchi so enraged?"

Ning Jianghe slowly stood up, his figure instantly becoming tall and majestic, like an insurmountable divine mountain.

His gaze icy cold, he stared into the distant void, the corner of his mouth hooking into a cruel, cold smile.

"How dare you!"

"Dare to lay a hand on my Grandson?!"

"I think you old bastards have grown tired of living!"

"Since you want to play, then this old man will play with you properly!"

"Let's see if your bones are hard, or my fists are harder!"

Boom!

He took a single step, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.

The next second, a thunderous light pillar that pierced heaven and earth shot up from the Blood Sea Star Pass, heading straight for the Ancestral Star!

The Human Race's strongest Hua Tianchi—marches to war!
