Supreme Uprising

“The 99th Dao! It is indeed the 99th Dao!” This voice breaking the intense silence made it seem all the more terrifying.

Despite the contrast of that shriek amid the silence, what truly horrified everyone present was the figure that looked like half an open palm, which was fully stretched out.

The palm was white jade, ghastly, and seemed to resemble death to a certain extent.

“The 99th Dao was a standard that the ignorant came up with. In reality, we can also say that they are Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerates.” A penetrating voice spoke.

The owner of this acute voice was the index finger of the white jade-like palm.

The finger was speaking!

“Whatever you call it isn’t important. What matters most is that there are people in the Human Race that can once again pose a threat to us.” Yet another voice interjected.

“How exciting!”

This voice, which had sounded normal initially, was now shrill once more.

The one making the different sounds was the ring finger of the jade palm!

“Why are you still uttering rubbish? This is not the place for you to be speaking!” The index finger chided the other finger.

“Why am I not allowed to speak here? Are you saying that we do not own a part of this body? I am telling you that it’s impossible!”

The ring finger was incensed as murderous intent filled its surroundings. It was obvious that the two fingers were unable to get along with one another, even though they had spawned from the same palm.

“Alright, that is enough.” The thumb spoke calmly. Its manner of speech was low and majestic, and it was obvious that it was the elder.

“The current Great Realm is the last realm of the Human Race, and its existence is of great significance to us. We can only achieve unification after we have successfully eradicated this final Great Era and finally returned to our bodies to seek revenge on the Sacred Venerate!”

“Therefore, we must not bungle this Great Era!”

The ghastly old voice immediately silenced the squabble between the two fingers. “The Mysterious Underworld Race is such a letdown. Who would have expected that it would be annihilated by the Human Race?” the index finger said after a lapse of silence.

“Out of the four races we have been protecting, we are now only left with the Star Sky Race. The Star Sky Race has never been strong and it will be almost impossible for them to beat the Human Race given their current standards, let alone try to kill the members of the Human Race who have attained the Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerate status.”

“Even though the Mysterious Underworld Race is a letdown, the Divine Incarcerate Race is no better. After all, it was also annihilated by the Human Race,” the ring finger added.

“Oh, oh, oh… Maybe I should just rush out and kill those damned humans!”

The ring finger shook erratically as a wave of murderous intent rushed out. Just as he was about to charge out, a crack appeared in the ground the palm was on.

The shaking ring finger did not move the grounds the palm was on, but a crack still ended up forming.

“Quieten down! Unless you are intending to let all our years of hard work and efforts go to waste, you jerk!”

The volume of this voice was extremely loud and clear, and it resonated across the lands in a chiding manner. The middle finger of the palm was shouting.

The ringer finger fell silent but then hissed icily, “If we were not refining this treasure of ours, I would definitely leave to kill those humans right now.”

“As much as we would like to annihilate the Human Race in this final Great Era, their leader is too strong right now. We need to exercise restraint,” the middle finger said.

“As a safety measure, I would rather allow the strength of this ultimate treasure to weaken rather than risk something unforeseen happening. Otherwise, the joke will be on us if we end up letting the humans turn the tides during the final Great Era.”

“Or perhaps we would become a great laughing stock if the Sacred Venerate caught wind of it.”

“You all have a point there. All of us are immobile right now, and the Star Sky Race is not capable of beating the Human Race. The only thing we can do is activate the divine troops!” the forefinger said solemnly.

“In that case, let us just activate the divine troops! Didn’t we develop those troops years ago just for this day?” the middle finger said resolutely.

“Right now is the time for these divine troops to finally display some of the power they have been holding on to.”

“In that case, let us activate the divine troops and eliminate the Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerates of the Human Race first.”

…

The training ground in Donglu Town was simple and unadorned, but there were streaks of sky laws that belonged to various Taiyi Yuan Venerates.

The sky was constantly fluctuating. Bolts of lightning flashed wildly, and sun rays shone through dark clouds…

The admiration of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor turned to respect and then to astonishment!

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had never really respected Luo Yunyang much up until he had defeated the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler. It was only then that he’d acknowledged the strength of Luo Yunyang and admitted that he was the strongest martialist in the entire Human Race.

However, watching Luo Yunyang making use of the 99th Dao right now made the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor feel as though Luo Yunyang was not inferior to him in any way.

This sort of transformation should be considered amazing news for the Human Race. Because Luo Yunyang was already so strong even without advancing, he would improve by leaps and bounds should he break through.

Quite a number of people had already become Taiyi Yuan Venerates amongst the crowd. Their gazes immediately fell on the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor when they saw him enter.

Some of them even seemed to intend to battle with the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor understood the thoughts and intentions of the newly-minted Taiyi Yuan Venerates. He gave them a casual smile and looked at Luo Yunyang.

Luo Yunyang nodded at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor in acknowledgment.

From his point of view, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor might have been slightly biased toward his own disciples but he was always clear-headed when it came to making major decisions. Furthermore, he had been able to enter the Vast Sky Sacred Realm only because of the favor granted by the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

Although this favor had cost him his Sky Wielding Crystal, it had still allowed him to massively improve and Luo Yunyang was still grateful for that.

“Human Ruler, a few of my disciples have acted in ignorance and may have offended you. I plead with you to please give them a chance,” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor told Luo Yunyang.

There were hints of respect in his tone.

Luo Yunyang knew what had happened outside Donglu Town. He glanced at the Divine Ancestor and sighed. “It would be better if we did not talk about this matter.”

“This cultivational method of becoming a Taiyi Yuan Venerate is what I have cultivated over many years with hard work and difficulty. I have already done what I could to contribute to the Human Race.”

“They are free to choose not to believe me and even denounce my words, but how is it fair for me if they do that and scramble here again after seeing people advance and become Taiyi Yuan Venerates?”

“If you don’t want something when it is first offered, then it might not be available when you finally decide you want it!” Luo Yunyang said.

His words made perfect sense to the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. However, his disciples were being denied entry. “Human Ruler, I still hope you can give them a chance!” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor implored after hesitating for a moment.

“They may have been wrong in the past, but I hope that you will take into account that they are the cream of the crop of the Human Race and you will give them a second chance.”

As the strongest martialist in the Human Race, it had been years ever since the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had begged someone. Hence, he felt slightly uncomfortable when he said these words.

Luo Yunyang could understand the thoughts of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

“Divine Ancestor, I cannot deny your request since you have made a personal plea on their behalf,” he replied.

“However, you should be able to look into the past to get a glimpse of the situation back when they left.”

“Right now, it does not matter whether or not I give them this chance, as they will certainly bear a grudge. I believe that there are many geniuses within the Human Race. With this cultivation technique, we will have no shortage of Taiyi Yuan Venerates. Why would you want to waste any more of your time on them?”

These words showed Luo Yunyang’s stance toward this incident. The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was not able to comment further, even though this situation made him feel uncomfortable.

“Divine Ancestor, we are at a critical part of the talk and we hope that you will allow our train of thought to carry on flowing,” said someone from the crowd.

The speaker was the earlier dark-skinned martialist. His cultivation base had already attained the Taiyi Yuan Venerate level.

The aura emitted from his body didn’t seem in any way inferior to the aura of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

This situation made the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor even more uncomfortable, yet he had to admit that Luo Yunyang was handling things correctly. He would have done the same thing if he had been in Luo Yunyang’s shoes.

It would be too good if Luo Yunyang were to still impart the cultivation laws to the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others despite the ruckus they had caused.

However, those were his disciples after all!

“In that case, would you mind if I sat in to listen to your insight into the cultivation path of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate?” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor said after some hesitation.

“Of course not,” Luo Yunyang answered with a smile. He knew what the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor intended to do. However, he was sure that the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor would not be able to yield the same results.

This was because Luo Yunyang’s insight into the Taiyi Yuan Venerate cultivation path had different effects on different martialists and targeted an individual’s cultivation nature.

What the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor learned from this session would not be of any use to anyone else.

Outpouring energies from the newly-minted Taiyi Yuan Venerates’ sky laws shot up into the sky once again as Luo Yunyang continued his talk.
