Chapter 1022: Leader
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The ancient continent.
Zhong Yue looked up, apart from the prison, he could also see the Heaven Court, but it was distant like it was the mist drawn in the picture, giving off an unrealistic vibe as if it were in another dimension.
“What a strange place, the Fire Order Era Imperial Star’s remnant is actually hidden here, this power is really….”
Zhong Yue was more than surprised upon feeling this enormous fire elemental power that traced all the way back to the ancient era. This was the lingering power of the Sui Sovereigns. This was after all, once the place where all the Fire Order Era’s monarchs ruled. Their power had turned this Imperial Star into a massive divine weapon!
Though it had been such a long time, the power of that era still remained!
Just by sensing this enormous Fire Order Era’s Dao, Zhong Yue could already tell that this era was an era filled with brute power. Fire represented brute power, creation and destruction!
It was not until the Fire Order Era that the universe belonged to the postnatal beings!
It was the postnate that created civilizations!
So, Senior Martial Brother Feng was teleported here.
Zhong Yue tarried around on the ancient ship, trying to locate the Imperial Road’s exit. The Imperial Road was a two way path, one could enter Celestial Fire Star through Zi Wei and vice versa as long as the exit was found.
And with Xin Huo around, even if the portal was destroyed, it could still be fixed.
Zhong Yue continued searching when suddenly, the skies tore apart as the gigantic body of the Heavenly Warden Yi Chou descended, chasing after the traces left behind by Zhong Yue.
But Zhong Yue was indifferent, with a simple thought, the ship’s wings sliced right into the dimension, disappearing into its crack that quickly recovered, erasing any trace of it existing.
With a sharp gaze, Yi Chou scanned around while letting out a toad-like croak and seconds later, horrible powers gushed out, the mountains shook and fire started emerging around them. These grand mountains then stood out, turning into towering fire giants that breathed out dense smoke from their noses and there was fire amidst the smoke!
“Heaven’s messenger, what is it that you seek from summoning us?”
On the ancient continent stood hundreds of fire giants and the fire giant turned from the largest mountain looked at Yi Chou.
Though the Heavenly Warden was also huge in size, he was simply dwarfed by this fire giant.
The fire giant’s body was made of larva and fire, entirely shrouded in the Fire Order Era’s Daos; these fire giants were all born from the ancient continent’s toughest rock and fiercest fire from the Fire Era Order’s Imperial Star.
This fire giant had the head of a dragon and the body of a snake. It also sported an eye on its forehead, looking as mighty as a Heavenly Monarch or Sui Sovereign but there was no life form in it, with all signs pointing to it being a spirit.
With a slow and steady voice, the giant asked Yi Chou’s purpose here.
“There is an enemy in your place of residence!”
Yi Chou looked high up towards the fire giant and said, “He had dived into your dimension and as per the ancient agreement, you will have to locate him for us!”
“Ancient agreement?”
The fire in the giant’s eyes burnt fiercely and let out earth shattering voice when he opened his mouth, “The ancient agreement… We guardians came into agreement with Heaven that the last land of the Fire Order Era belongs to us but we are not to leave this place, and that we will have to follow Heaven’s order. Are you ordering us to abide by his agreement?”
“Yes!”
Yi Chou shouted, “Carry out your promise!”
“If there is an agreement, we shall honor it.”
The fire giants rose to the air before scattering into the skies and earth in search of Zhong Yue.
Yi Chou continued looking around while flying towards the far side as he murmured, “With the aid of these Fire Order Era’s spirits, finding this intruder will be easy. Hmmm? Did this intruder know that there is a safe path out of this dreadful place? I must be careful!”
Not long later, he arrived at an ancient ruins on a mountainous area and these mountains were all filled with green copper rust.
Yi Chou shouted, “Ding Si, Yi Wen, Geng Shen, show yourselves!”
Suddenly, loud banging noise came from the ruins as large jars came jumping out, the sealed jarhead had head on them and there were about 14 of these jars.
These jars with head were also Heavenly Wardens; back in the ancient universe, they were caught off guard by Si Ming and baited into the Jitong Clan, a monarch race.
Conflicts rose between the two parties and in the end, with the monarch weapon, Jitong Clan fused these wardens’ body and Yuan Shen with these jars and threw them out as retaliation and humiliation.
After fusing with these jars, these wardens became strange life forms, these jars could not be broken or they would die.
This was a very impressive spell that even Mister Bi Luo and the master of the Heavenly Prison were powerless before this spell. Besides, due to their appearance and their actions that brought shame to the Heavenly Prison, these wardens were banished to this place to guard the ruins.
Yi Chou ordered, “Ding Si, there is an enemy around, guard this place with everything you have, the enemy mustn’t escape!”
The 14 wardens nodded. These jars grew in size and their heads enlarged as well when they ascended into the air, but because of how they had no limbs, they looked extremely weird.
Being all powerful existences, these 14 wardens knew that they couldn’t lift this spell and so they decided to cultivate the jars into weapons that could grow and shrink.
The 14 jars then set up a perimeter on the highest mountain in the ruins before sweeping around carefully.
With them around, the intruder’s final avenue of escape was also blocked off.
Yi Chou was feeling confident right now. He looked towards the fire giants searching around, these Fire Order Era spirits were all immensely powerful and they had been keeping watch on the Fire Order Era’s last remaining land loyally for ages.
They had the ability to travel within the dimension of the ancient continental, going in and out freely with not even the Sui Sovereign Dao that remained in the ancient continent being able to stop them.
They were spirits birthed by the Fire Order Era’s Imperial Star. There were just way too many Sui Sovereigns that resided in the Imperial Star. Though failing in birthing Sui Sovereign’s form innate gods, with the many Sui Sovereigns’ fate, destiny, power and might condensed in this place, these fire spirits were born.
If the Fire Order Era lasted long enough, then there would be innate gods birthed in the Imperial Star that took the form of the Sui Sovereign, but there was just not enough time and the end of Fire Order Era had arrived.
But even after the end of Fire Order Era and the extinction of Yanzi Clan, these fire spirits prevailed.
After entering the Earth Order Era, the Fuxi Celestial Race, who were the descendants of the Yanzi Clan, gifted this land to the fire spirits. At the end of the Earth Order Era and the extinction of Fuxi Celestial Race, these fire spirits made a deal with Heaven that this place would be the last remaining ground of the Fire Order Era.
On the other hand, the ancient ship was forced into running around in the dimensions, but it was still no match for these fire spirits’ pursuit. The dragon-headed and serpent-tailed fire spirit dove in and out of the dimensions, triggering the remaining Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch in this ancient continental and Zhong Yue’s ancient ship was struck by the many monarch level Daos; even if the ancient ship were an exotic item forged in the Dark Age by the many Deity Kings, it still couldn’t handle the overwhelming pressure!
Not long later, with an explosion, the ancient ship was slammed out of the dimension. It rolled around before slamming onto a mountain, shattering it and continuing to slide on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
At this point, the damaged thousand winged ancient wing started burning fiercely, this ancient ship made of condensed Dark Age’s Daos was lit up by the fire spirits and it actually started burning!
The ship created by the Dark Age’s Deity Kings, one with the ability to enter the Dao Realm was actually defenseless against these fire spirits’ fire!
Surrounded by these fire spirits, the ancient ship’s surrounding started to destabilize under the fiery fire!
Yi Chou’s heart lit up happily and he hurriedly towards the crushing site, only to find a giant emerging from the ancient ship. Unlike the dragon headed fire spirits, this giant had the head of a human, a divine third eye in his forehead and he was talking to these fire spirits, speaking about something he could not hear from this distance.
Is that a.. Fuxi? A living Fuxi?
Unconsciously, Yi Chou slowed down and hid at the side, observed as the Fuxi spoke with the hundred fire spirits. After taking a look at this newly appeared giant, these fire spirits directed their boiling psyche into the Fuxi’s body.
Something’s not right.
Yi Chou’s heart sank to the bottom and he shown himself, shouted, “Spirits of the Fire Order Era, have you forgotten the ancient agreement? How could you break the agreements you made with Heaven?”
The fire spirit leader put out the raging flame engulfing the ancient ship with a flip of his palm, turned around and said with a thick voice, “But we too, came into an agreement with the Fuxi Celestial Race. Now, this little Fuxi demands us to abide to the agreement we had with Fuxi Celestial Race, which conflicts with our agreement with Heaven. What do we do?”
A relieved Yi Chou let his guard down, closed in rapidly and said, “If so, then please, fire spirits, you should stay out of the way, I will execute this Fuxi myself.”
The fire spirits exchanged a glance and the fire spirit leader said with a rumbling voice, “As per the agreements, we shouldn’t be interfering with your businesses but our leader wants us to help him to annihilate you.”
“Leader?”
Yi Chou staggered and he asked in confusion, “Aren’t you the fire spirits’ leader?”
“No, he is!”
The fire spirit leader pointed his large finger towards Zhong Yue’s shoulder and when Yi Chou looked towards the point, there was a little flame standing on Zhong Yue’s shoulder. This proud and arrogant little flame was crossing his arms and he gave Yi Chou a mocking laugh.
“Great leader Xin Huo is the first fire spirit of the Fire Order Era, he is the flame of inheritance created by the first Heavenly Monarch using the galaxy soul.”
The fire spirit said, “He is the leader of all divine fire and his request, we can not reject. Now, he wants us to kill you and rebuild the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch.”
Knowing this was bad, Yi Chou flew into the air right away but just as he leaped into the air, the fire spirit leader’s palm emerged from Yi Chou’s chest, burning up his Yuan Shen and body.
“Thus, we shall all abide by his will,” mumbled the fire spirit leader.
