25: Chapter 25 Blood Oath to Heaven - Resonance of Heaven and Earth

Jiang Chen is the primogenitor of the Undead Clan. He created this race and is revered as the True Ancestor, also known as the "Corpse God," holding the sole will of the entire clan.

The Four Great Corpse Kings were all personally appointed by Jiang Chen. To date, there are only four: Shi Hou, Hanba, Ying Gou, and Hou Qing.

Beneath them are thirty-six Corpse Marquises, seventy-two Corpse Lords, and one hundred and eight Corpse Generals.

To become a Corpse Marquis, one must reach the realm of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal and establish illustrious military merit.

A Corpse Lord must at least reach the Great Perfection of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

A Corpse General must cultivate to the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

As for Corpse Soldiers, the minimum requirement is the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

The Undead Clan possesses extraordinary innate talent; they can absorb all negative energy between heaven and earth and can also assimilate beings from other races. This time, the hundred billion dragons of the West Sea Dragon Army were all swallowed and transformed into Dragon Corpses. Instead of losing combat power, they became even more formidable.

This is the true horror of the Undead Clan!

While the various Corpse Kings and Marquises were drinking heartily, Hanba suddenly spoke up: "Once the Ancestor completely refines the Blood Sea, our clan can officially step into the Primordial World!"

Hearing this, all the heroes in the hall were invigorated. For many years prior, Jiang Chen had strictly ordered them to endure and remain hidden, forbidding any rash actions. If not for that, they would have stirred up monstrous waves in the Primordial World long ago.

Now that Jiang Chen has decided to emerge, it is time for them to sweep across the world and awe the eight directions!

At the same moment, deep within the origin of the Blood Sea.

Jiang Chen sat atop the Samsara Underworld Soil, with runes flowing around him like a circling galaxy. With every flicker of a rune, the Blood Sea would vibrate slightly in response.

He was refining the Blood Sea—more accurately, he was refining the Samsara Underworld Soil itself.

Once successful, the entire Blood Sea would completely submit to his will.

And the Samsara Underworld Soil was precisely the gateway to the Place of Reincarnation.

If he could control this place, it would be equivalent to holding the key to the Place of Reincarnation.

Jiang Chen had been plotting for the Place of Reincarnation for a long time.

The Heavenly Dao of the Ninth Epoch was about to appear, and at that time, it would surely take action against him.

He had to seize control of the Place of Reincarnation and become the Lord of the Earthly Dao before the Heavenly Dao awakened.

Only in this way could he remain invincible in the struggle between Heaven and Earth.

The three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity exist side by side, each with its own duties: the Heavenly Dao governs order, the Earthly Dao governs reincarnation, and the Human Dao governs all living beings.

The three complement and counteract each other, with none being superior to the others.

In the past, Hou Tu sacrificed her body to become reincarnation and attained the position of the Lord of the Earthly Dao; her power was enough to contend with Hongjun after his union with the Dao, showing how vast the power of the Earthly Dao is.

As for the Human Dao, it was jointly held by the Six Saints, yet they were restricted by Hongjun, acting like puppets. In reality, both the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao were tied to Hongjun alone.

At present, the Primordial World is at the beginning of the Eighth Epoch, only one epoch away from the recovery of the Ninth Epoch's Heavenly Dao.

Jiang Chen had to complete all his arrangements before then.

Vying for supremacy in the Primordial World was merely a facade; his true purpose was to use the Law of Reincarnation to open a new heaven and prove his Dao within the Place of Reincarnation, achieving the Supreme Great Dao!

Time has no meaning in the Primordial World, and ninety thousand years passed in an instant.

During these ninety thousand years, the entire Primordial World was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Myriads of living beings were restless, finding it difficult to enter a state of meditative cultivation, as if the final tribulation was approaching and a great change was imminent.

In fact, the upheaval had indeed taken shape—

During this period, the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Kirin Clan, who were originally hostile to each other, actually set aside their old grievances and formed an alliance.

They further joined forces with Innate Demon God such as Hongjun and Luo Hou to discuss major matters.

Except for the hidden Undead Clan, all forces from the Endless Starry Sky to the lands and four seas were fully integrated to form the God-Demon Alliance!

After multiple nominations, the Dragon Race's leader, the "Ancestral Dragon," finally took office as the Alliance Leader of the God-Demon Alliance, leading the myriad clans to jointly resist the unknown enemy.

Ancestral Qilin and Ancestral Phoenix were elected as Deputy Alliance Leaders.

The goal of the God-Demon Alliance was single and clear—to annihilate the Undead Clan in the Extreme West Blood Sea, and especially to kill Jiang Chen.

As long as Jiang Chen remained in the world, the God-Demon Alliance would never dissolve!

An alliance of such scale had only appeared once before in the history of the Primordial World, during the era of the ancient Ferocious Beasts. At that time, all the Innate Demon God set aside their differences and combined their strength to fight against the Ferocious Beast Clan that ravaged heaven and earth.

Now, the opponent has merely changed names—from Ferocious Beasts to the Undead.

How ironic. If Jiang Chen had not personally suppressed Shen Ni and ended that catastrophe back then, how could the era of Ferocious Beasts have concluded? And how could today's God-Demon Epoch exist?

Yet now, the Primordial Myriad Clans have turned their spearheads, pointing their blades directly at the greatest hero who once turned the tide and saved all living beings from fire and water!

Is it absurd? Perhaps. But more accurately, it is tragic.

This is the nature of all living beings: you can be powerful, but not too powerful; once you stand above all beings, you are destined to become the target of public criticism.

In the Central Great Wilderness, at the foot of Mount Buzhou, stands a towering palace—the Magic God Temple.

This hall was built at the end of the Sixth Epoch, established by the creatures of the Primordial World to commemorate the Innate Demon God' victory over the Ferocious Beasts and the settling of the chaotic world, receiving incense offerings for thousands of generations. The concept of Providence originated from this place.

It can be said that the Magic God Temple is both the starting point of the God-Demon Epoch and the source of disputes and warfare.

And now, it is revered as a sacred land by the God-Demon Alliance, meaning that all future orders for the campaign against the Undead Clan will be issued from here.

The interior of the hall is magnificent and grand. Statues of Innate Demon God stand all around, solemn and dignified.

The dome is like the night sky hanging upside down, with galaxies flowing and intersecting, as if reflecting the scene when the universe first began.

In the center of the hall, a huge map of the Primordial World is spread out on the ground, with mountains, rivers, and the four poles and eight directions all clearly visible.

At this moment, dozens of the strongest beings in the Primordial World, including the Ancestral Dragon, have gathered in the void, each with an aura as deep as an abyss or sea, overawing heaven and earth.

This is especially true for the Ancestral Dragon, who is surrounded by a dense purple mist, noble and mysterious, every movement containing a majesty that looks down upon all ages.

The entire hall is so silent it is suffocating; the air seems to have solidified, heavy as if billions of pounds were pressing down.

Suddenly, the Ancestral Dragon, who had been closing his eyes for a long time, slowly opened them. In that instant, his eyes were as deep as black holes; no one dared to look directly into his gaze, and even the void was slightly trembling.

He spoke, his voice like thunder piercing the ears, shaking the soul:

“Everyone, the Undead Clan is about to appear in the world, and a great tribulation sweeping the entire Primordial World is imminent. We should set aside past grievances and jointly resist the external enemy!”

“I, the Ancestral Dragon, hereby swear—until the Undead Clan is destroyed, the God-Demon Alliance shall never dissolve!”

His voice echoed rollingly, resounding through every inch of space in the Magic God Temple.

Every primordial tycoon present looked solemn, and then they all activated their Primordial Spirits to swear a blood oath:

“I, Ancestral Qilin!”

“I, Ancestral Phoenix!”

“I, Hongjun!”

“I, Luo Hou!”

“I, Lu Ya!”

...

Nearly a hundred Innate Demon God shouted in unison, their oaths like a tide:

“Until the Undead Clan is destroyed, the God-Demon Alliance shall never dissolve!”

The bold words broke through the palace and resounded between heaven and earth. From above the nine heavens to the depths of the four seas, every inch of the Primordial World echoed with this determination.

Above and below, all heard the sound:

“Until the Undead Clan is destroyed, the God-Demon Alliance shall never dissolve!”

Rumble—

The firmament shook, and thunderclouds churned, as if heaven and earth were sentient and resonated with it.

The wind and clouds changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the entire Primordial World shook violently.

Countless living beings looked up in shock, their faces showing expressions of horror.
