Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

The Zi, Shi, Ma, and other clans actually did not know who the mastermind was; they had also not been controlled by the mastermind but had been made use of only!

Everyone that the mastermind had sent was a black-robed man. Although they were all Demigods, no one could tell who they were!

These black-robed men had brought the famous weapons of the Buddha Thearch, Night Empress, Yin Thearch, and Xuan Thearch; telling the three clans that the Buddha Thearch had already perished and that they could attack the Yi Clan at will. They had also promised the three clans that if any clans tried to help the Yi Clan, they would definitely come to the three clans’ assistance. Furthermore, they had guaranteed that after the Yi Clan was eliminated, they would help the three clans to become the new Nine Thearchs!

The presence of the Buddha Thearch, Night Empress, Xuan Thearch, and others’ famed weapons had shaken the three clans. For a person like the Buddha Thearch—if he had not died, how could his weapon have been taken from him? Furthermore, they had been missing for so long. The Buddha Emperor, Yin Emperor, and others had all brought Demigods to rescue the Thearchs; not one had returned. Hence, the three clans concluded that the Buddha Thearch and others were really dead.

To become the new Nine Thearchs!

This temptation was too great. Moreover, the three clans had deep enmity towards the Yi Clan. If it wasn’t for the Yi Clan, the three clans would definitely be stronger than the Tang Clan now; the three clans had been the strongest among the Ten Ancient Clans back then. Now, they were at the bottom.

The mastermind had boosted the confidence of the three clans immensely. Another more important reason was the array formation skills of the mastermind. The mastermind had created three formations for the three clans’ main cities respectively to guarantee their safety; even the Zi Clan’s number one consecrator had not been able to break through these formations.

Hence, the three clans had the audacity to ally with another thirty-three clans and attacked the Yi Clan together. What happened after that needed no further narration; the three clans destroyed an uncountable number of Yi Clan cities. If Jiang Yi had not arrived, the Yi Clan would have been finished.

The mastermind’s ingenuity was once again revealed. He had furtively created yet another formation in Stupa City and had sent a message to Zi Fengtian asking them to retreat. He subsequently sent a few people that guaranteed that Jiang Yi would come to Stupa City and that Jiang Yi could be killed!

The plan was perfect; that formation’s power had also surpassed everyone’s imagination.

However, the three clans had been scared witless by what Jiang Yi had said in Stupa City. If the mastermind was really Ao Lu, then the human race was probably doomed. Hence, once the Battle Thearch had sent word to the three clans, they had chosen to head to Mystic Thearch City and come clean.

The three clans really wanted to become part of the new Nine Thearch Clans. However, if the mastermind was really Ao Lu—not only would they not be able to become the Nine Thearchs, but they would also be annihilated together with the rest of the human race. The cruel and brutal nature of the demon race was something that these ancient clans knew full well.

An unknown demonic art that could trigger battles, powerful restrictions, strange Heaven Evasion techniques, and mysterious Demigods!

Everything pointed towards Ao Lu. All the great family clans, more or less, knew about the human formidable martial artists in the Stellarsky Domain. However, no one had seen these mysterious black-robed Demigods before! The most important thing was that the Sky Thunder Formation trapping Jiang Yi was not something any of the clans could create. This was a formation that could kill nine-star formidable martial artists. Besides an old and strange demon that had lived for more than seven hundred thousand years, no one else could create such a formation.

Ao Lu still had more than two hundred thousand more years to live; when he was suppressed by the Mystic Thearch years ago, he was trapped in the Mystic Divine Palace for more than seven hundred thousand years. Ao Lu bearing a grudge and wanting to rebuild the former glory of the demon race was also something logical.

After reaching this conclusion…!

The Battle Thearch and North Thearch led the pack and formed the Human Race Revenge Alliance, starting secret negotiations to plan their revenge. This time, countless formidable martial artists had fallen while the Buddha Thearch and company’s fate were unknown. Billions of civilians were also either dead or wounded; this blood debt had to be avenged.

Furthermore, only the presence of an external enemy could cause the human race to unite as one. Offense was the best defense; defeating and destroying the demon race was the only way the human race could be appeased and peace be returned to the East Imperial Continent.

The most important thing was Sin Island!

With each passing day of Sin Island’s existence, it was a symbol of humiliation for the Nine Thearch Clans. Hence, seizing on this rare opportunity of unity in the East Imperial Continent, the Battle Thearch, North Thearch, and others naturally hoped that they could conveniently wipe out Sin Island as well.

Messages were sent out all across the continent. Many envoys brought proposals from the North Thearch, Battle Thearch, Sword Thearch, and others, to the Heaven Nether Sect, the Heaven Hidden Sect, and all the other Ten Concealed Sects to suggest an alliance. The Battle Thearch and North Thearch hoped that all the formidable martial artists could gather together, and with their combined brains and brawns, destroy Sin Island’s Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array and kill their way into the Endless Deep Sea.

Many of the Ten Concealed Sects received the news and responded!

After all, if the human race was to perish—even if they hid at the ends of the earth, they would be annihilated all the same. Within three days, besides the number-one Heaven Nether Sect and number-two Heaven Hidden Sect, all the other Ten Concealed Sects had responded. The Ten Ancient Clans also agreed to join the Human Race Revenge Alliance while the Ye Clan, the Ling Clan, and the Yin Clan also agreed to send men. However, Yi Chan rejected joining the alliance, claiming that the Yi Clan had lost too many formidable martial artists.

On the fourth day, the Saint Empress sent an envoy, saying that the Snow Region did not partake in the affairs of the continent and flatly rejected joining the alliance army. This attracted the scorn and curses from many clans.

The Heaven Nether Sect only responded on the fifth day. The Heaven Nether Sect also indicated that not partaking in the affairs of the continent was part of their sect rules. However, to do their part for humanity, they could think of ways to help break the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array.

However, as for the battles against Sin Island and the demon race after breaking the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array, the Heaven Nether Sect would not participate in them. The Heaven Nether Sect not actively instigating conflict with others was a sect rule and modus operandi that the Heaven Nether Sect had adhered to for the past hundreds of thousands of years.

When this news spread, it was a great morale boost for the formidable martial artists in the alliance army!

They were most worried about this formation; the Nine Thearch Clans have tried multiple times to attack Sin Island but had failed because of this formation and the demon races in the Endless Deep Sea. If this formation could be broken, Sin Island could be easily eliminated while the alliance army could enter the Endless Deep Sea as well to seek revenge.

The next day, the Battle Thearch and North Thearch ordered the gathering of troops for this Holy War. They ordered that besides essential personnel needed to defend the continent, all the formidable martial artists of Heaven Monarch Realm and above from all the clans on the continent were to gather in the Yin Thearch City to the east within three months. After three months, the billions of soldiers would move as one and eradicate Sin Island and the Endless Deep Sea.

After this order was given, the entire continent was in an uproar!

This was the largest gathering of troops on the East Imperial Continent since the Mystic Thearch’s time. For all the clans participating, it was akin to witnessing history being written. After receiving summons from the great family clans, all the smaller clans also united together; the human race and the demon race were mortal enemies. Now that the human race had suffered immense losses, they all wanted to do their part as they sharpened their knives and got ready to cleanse the Endless Deep Sea.

All the Region Lords on the continent also gave the order that the Teleportation Formations would be free of charge to Heaven Monarch martial artists and above for these three months. As long as one wanted to join in the battle, they could teleport all the way to Yin Thearch City. The Zhan Clan, Wu Clan, She Clan, Tang Clan, and other clans also sent a notice to the entire continent. Every participating Heaven Monarch could gain a million celestial stones; anyone who perished would be compensated five million celestial stones.

With such rewards, brave individuals would definitely appear!

Such an exorbitant amount of celestial stones would be more than sufficient for the families of these Heaven Monarch martial artists for the rest of their lives. Even many bandits came out from the mountains and teleported to Yin Thearch City to take part in the holy revenge war!

The entire continent was up in arms; it was all quiet inside Buddha Mountain. Yi Chan had followed her original plan and had sent the Yi Clan disciples to the Snow Region. The Yi Clan vassal clans—if they wished to—could also follow and head to the Snow Region. The Saint Empress had carved out a territory and given it to the Yi Clan. It was just near Saint Mountain.

In the mere twenty-five days that Jiang Yi had been trapped, the normally boisterous and jammed-packed Buddha Thearch City had become empty and quiet; it was deserted. Yi Chan was presently standing on Buddha Mountain and looking down on the entire Buddha Thearch City as the winds assailed her, battering her purple dress and messing up her head full of purple hair.

At this moment, she suddenly felt very lonely. Her gaze turned towards the west as she sighed deeply and said, “Jiang Yi, I will be joining you soon. All the humans in the Stellarsky Domain would be joining you soon. The Mystic Divine Palace appearing, the coming of great calamity, the extinction of the human race…”
