"My lords, ever since the Human Race was unified by the Han Emperor, things have become truly extraordinary!"
A giant snake-tailed serpent, only at the peak of the Heaven-Through Realm, surveyed the onlookers with a lewd grin, clearly reveling in their attention.
"Oh, esteemed sir, you hail from the lineage of the giant snake-tailed serpents, so you must know far more than us. Could you enlighten us a little?"
"Indeed, sir..."
"Ahem!"
The snake-tailed serpent brushed his sleeves and addressed the assembled warriors: "It has only been about six or seven days since the Great Han Dynasty of the Human Race ascended to become an Imperial Dynasty."
"On that day, Zi Mu, the Third Elder of the Fire Crow clan from the Primordial Wasteland; Lian Jin, from the Primordial Ox lineage of the Heavenly Demon Wasteland; Fang Yu, a prodigy from the Blood Feather Crane clan of the Blood Spring Wasteland; and Zi Fu, the Fourth Elder of the Nine-Headed Serpent clan from the Nine Nether Wasteland!"
"What? The Nine Nether Wasteland was involved too?"
"Yes!"
The snake-tailed serpent nodded, his voice calm. "The four of them were all powerhouses who had reached the Creation Realm. They joined forces to try and destroy the Great Han, to destroy the Human Race!"
"But who would have thought, who would have thought, that they would never return!"
"Are you speaking the truth? Don't try to deceive us. Zi Mu and Zi Fu were elders of their respective clans, how could they have perished in the land of humans?"
"That's right, and what about Fang Yu, the prodigy of the Blood Feather Crane clan? How could he have perished among humans?"
...
"These demon beasts are so annoying with their incessant chatter!"
Liang Shitai shook his head, his temper notoriously fiery.
"General Liang, they are just a bunch of insignificant creatures. There's no need to waste time on these nobodies. We are about to enter the core of the Extreme North, and we must hurry to ensure General Xu Chu's safety!"
He Yuanqing's expression was calm. He scanned the figures of the nearby demonic beasts. The closer they got to the core, the fewer warriors they saw, and their realms gradually increased.
He looked ahead, and about three miles further, there was no longer a single figure. Compared to this area, it was like a paradise.
Liang Shitai nodded. Although the Human Race harbored a deep-seated hatred for the four Great Wastelands, that enmity was primarily between the top tribes of each wasteland. With other tribes, there wasn't much grievance. Su Dan Novel Network.
The two stepped into the void, instantly accelerating. The void boomed, and the might of a peak Creation Realm expert shook the hearts and minds of the warriors on both sides.
Their target was precise, and they shot directly towards the direction where the Emperor Corpse had disappeared. In a single breath, they vanished from the sight of the numerous warriors.
"This... this is Creation... I felt the aura of an ancestor from him..."
The snake-tailed serpent at the peak Heaven-Through Realm stared blankly. The Human Race had produced a peak Creation Realm powerhouse...
There were only sixteen peak Creation Realm powerhouses in the entire Barbarian Realm. Possessing peak Creation power was equivalent to being a top force in the Barbarian Realm, only slightly weaker than the lineages of the four Wasteland Lords.
The journey was desolate. After passing a mountain peak, it was like entering two different worlds. Outside, it was lush and green, while here, it was as barren as a desert.
Crossing several barren mountain peaks, a basin suddenly appeared, like an oasis in a desolate desert. The fragrant, cool air and the concentration of primal energy gradually recovered.
A gray, towering pagoda, dozens of feet high, looked like the skeletal remains of an ancient beast carved into shape. The gray pagoda emanated wisps of five-colored divine light.
This divine light scattered throughout the basin, and He Yuanqing and Liang Shitai seemed to be suppressed, descending slowly from the void. The pressure on their primal energy was gentle, and they offered no resistance.
Liang Shitai narrowed his eyes, peering through the dense jungle into the depths. For a moment, several powerful primal energies dispersed within. Further in, it was like touching the void, directly scattering Liang Shitai's primal energy.
"It's the aura of the peak Creation Realm!"
He Yuanqing said with a smile.
"Indeed!"
Liang Shitai nodded. "Six auras. It seems they have already entered. I wonder if General Xu Chu is inside the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasury palace?"
"Let's go!"
The two moved like flying. Although they could not traverse the void, they covered the dense jungle in just a few steps.
Beyond the jungle, a magnificent palace stood before the gray pagoda. Wisps of golden mist swirled around the palace, and at the palace gate, a golden vortex, emanating faint blue lightning, flowed and spun gently!
Before the golden vortex in the center of the palace sat six figures. The moment He Yuanqing and Liang Shitai appeared, the six figures' eyes locked onto them.
The primal energy in the void churned violently.
He Yuanqing and Liang Shitai looked on. The figure on the far left was three zhang tall, covered in a red robe, and emanating wisps of flame. Although he had taken human form, the exposed skin was covered in red feathers, and his eyes were as black as ink.
The second figure from the left was burly, standing five zhang tall. Even the man in the red robe, who was three zhang tall, looked like an infant beside him. Looking up, this giant revealed his bare chest, and except for around his eyes, he was covered in long black hair.
The third figure from the left was only two zhang tall, appearing slender and bony, swaying in the wind. Only his eyes were extremely peculiar, narrow and emerald green.
Next to this slender figure, he was a world apart, even more burly than the hairy giant. His pair of arms were as thick as thighs, powerful and strong, as if capable of holding up the sky.
The two figures on the right were both women, alluring and charming, and their height was similar to that of human women.
The first figure had fair and rosy skin, long, straight legs, and a blood-red spot adorned her forehead.
The second figure was clad in a red robe, her red hair drifting in the void as if she were entranced.
"Six peak Creation Realm experts. They must be the demon ancestors from the three Great Wastelands!"
Liang Shitai calmly swept his gaze over the six figures, showing no sign of panic, his eyes even carrying a hint of disdain.
He Yuanqing beside him was even more imposing and domineering, his head slightly raised, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the six figures before the palace.
"Human Race?"
"Heh heh, I never imagined that the Human Race, which has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, would produce a peak Creation powerhouse!"
"Which demon ancestors are you?"
Liang Shitai looked at them and smiled slightly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Hmph?"
"Presumptuous! Do you really think that by reaching the peak Creation Realm, you can be so arrogant?"
The giant with a pair of Qilin arms roared in anger, looking at He Yuanqing and the other.
