Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Panda Novel

Too little energy was left in the Mystic Divine Palace; Jiang Yi did not dare to use Heaven Evasion. If not, he would have arrived a few days earlier. It could not be helped. There were too many people inside the Mystic Divine Palace. If it exploded—not only would Jiang Yi be letting down the Mystic Thearch, but he would also be sending his own family and friends to their deaths.

Jiang Yi sized up the situation and became certain of some things. His suspicion of Ao Lu had decreased significantly. Ao Lu had lived for more than seven hundred thousand years and ought to be very intelligent. If he was indeed the mastermind, he would have lived the past more than seven hundred thousand years in vain. If he had indeed plotted everything, he was almost about to cause his own death.

There were corpses everywhere. With most of them from the demon race, Ao Lu’s face was pale while the Black Deity, Shadow Emperor, and a few Titled Demon Sovereigns were all severely wounded; many were near-death. If Jiang Yi had come a few hours later, all the demons in the Endless Deep Sea would have perished!

Jiang Yi’s gaze turned towards Xing Mengwan. He could not deny that her disposition was superior. Her purity and grace combined perfectly; a single look at her would make one’s heart ache. Furthermore, she was a Demigod? Her background was evidently not ordinary. He was currently in a side hall, and with a wave of his hand, an image appeared on one of the walls. He asked Yi Chan, Mo Yao’er, and Su Ruoxue, “Who is this woman? Do you guys recognize her?”

“No, I don’t!”

Yin Ruobing was still in seclusion while Mo Yao’er and Su Ruoxue had been brought in here. However, the two did not recognize her. Yi Chan, however, said in a low voice, “Her name is Xing Mengwan. She is the current Saint Lady of the Heaven Nether Sect. She is a seven-star martial artist and number one among the ten beauties of the continent.”

After explaining, Yi Chan expressed some bewilderment as she muttered, “Hadn’t this Xing Mengwan returned home? Why has she appeared in the Endless Deep Sea? The Heaven Nether Sect had always been low-profile and never proactively instigated conflicts. Why have they made an exception now?”

“It doesn’t matter now. I’ll rescue Xiaonu first!”

Jiang Yi’s body glistened with white light as he disappeared from the side hall. The phantom image outside the Mystic Divine Palace had also dissipated. With another flash of white light, Jiang Yi had appeared outside the Mystic Divine Palace. A Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand while his Mystic Divine Armor surfaced as well. He became a ray of a rainbow and dashed towards Jiang Xiaonu.

“Uh…”

Everyone was stunned. Jiang Yi had actually abandoned his greatest pillar of support, the Mystic Divine Palace and dared to appear on his own? Furthermore, he had shot towards Jiang Xiaonu once he had appeared. How crazy was he to disregard the presence of the North Thearch, the Battle Thearch, the Evil Thearch, the Beast Thearch, and others?

The Black Deity, Shadow Emperor, and company were also astonished. However, Ao Lu’s face revealed a sliver of a smile as he looked at the Mystic Divine Armor and the Fire Dragon Sword, seemingly drawing his own conclusions.

“Big Brother!”

Xiao Fei was thrown out and happily flew towards Jiang Yi upon seeing him. The North Thearch and Battle Thearch exchanged glances as their auras grew stronger, and they roared, “Kill Jiang Yi!”

“The likes of you guys?”

Jiang Yi swept a cold glance as his Fire Dragon Sword and Mystic Divine Armor lit up at the same time. A terrifying aura emanated from his body as he said seriously, “Battle Thearch, North Thearch, if I were the two of you, I would not act rashly. If not, you will bear the consequences.”

“Mystic Divine Armor? This sword’s aura is incredible; could it also be a divine artifact? That’s not right, the Mystic Divine Saber is a saber…”

The Battle Thearch paused momentarily, his eyes filled with doubt and suspicion. He was very clear about the power of the Mystic Thearch’s divine artifacts; Jiang Yi must have also had a break through to escape the formation that he was trapped in. That year, Jiang Yi had caused him so much grief at the Mystic Thearch City. At this moment, the Battle Thearch did not dare to risk it again.

However, the North Thearch did not believe Jiang Yi at all; his long sword danced as he was about to form his Spatial Shackles to trap Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had come out of the Mystic Divine Palace; if this was not the perfect opportunity to kill Jiang Yi, then when? The North Thearch was very sure that the enmity between him and Jiang Yi could never be resolved; sooner or later, Jiang Yi was going to kill his way to North Thearch City.

“Hmph. Since you dug the hole yourself, you shall not live!”

Jiang Yi stilled himself as his Fire Dragon Sword danced at top speed. While his Fire Dragon Sword was dancing, the surrounding spatial zone started to rock and tremble. There were also lightning bolts shooting down from the Nine Heavens. The heaven and earth essence force from a five-hundred-kilometer radius started to surge towards him as they all entered his body. That lightning bolt also struck and entered his body. However, his body did not suffer any damage. Instead, the Fire Dragon Sword started to sizzle with lightning, and its aura was incredible!

“To absorb the heaven and earth powers? Could this be…?”

The Battle Thearch’s eyes narrowed as he swiftly retreated. The Evil Thearch, Beast Thearch, Sword Thearch, and others also quickly followed in alarm. Ao Lu laughed as he sighed with emotion, saying, “This lad is really a piece of work. To be able to realize the Divinity Slayer in such a short period, no wonder he could break through that formation!’

“North Thearch, retreat!”

Xing Mengwan’s voice rang out as she then looked towards Jiang Yi and said, “Jiang Yi, stop. I will return you your maidservant!”

Swish!

Xing Mengwan’s whip lashed out as she tossed Jiang Xiaonu towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi saw that the North Thearch was retreating rapidly and that Jiang Xiaonu had also been returned to him. He hurriedly stopped his attack and flew towards Xing Mengwan and Jiang Xiaonu. To Jiang Yi, saving lives was always going to be more important than seeking revenge. He could always slowly kill them later on.

“Young Master!”

Jiang Xiaonu became a green shadow and flew towards Jiang Yi, hugging onto him tightly. Her eyes were filled with tears as her body trembled.

It had been more than five years. She had been alone in the Endless Deep Sea for that period. Her only desire had always been to return to Jiang Yi’s side. Alas, this moment had finally come. The well of emotions she was feeling was imaginable!

“Xiaonu, be good and stop crying. I will never abandon you ever again.”

Looking at the lady battle-god-like Jiang Xiaonu, Jiang Yi felt nothing but gentleness and guilt towards her. He held onto Jiang Xiaonu with one hand to give her some warmth. From a distance, the little fox had flown over as well and squeezed herself in between the two. Her furry hands touched Jiang Yi’s face as she wailed, “Big Brother, Xiao Fei has missed you so much. Big Brother, you have to bring Xiao Fei along to play from now on, okay?”

“Okay, okay!”

Jiang Yi smiled faintly, and then his face became serious again. “Alright, stop crying, you two. Let me handle matters here first.”

Jiang Xiaonu dried her tears and stood next to Jiang Yi. Xiao Fei, on the other hand, jumped onto Jiang Yi’s shoulder. Jiang Xiaonu’s gaze turned towards Xing Mengwan, the North Thearch, Battle Thearch, and others and said, “Young Master, this group of people wanted to kill me just now.”

Xiao Fei also wailed and said, “Big Brother, these people are all bad people. Let’s kill them together.”

Jiang Yi did not say anything. However, Xing Mengwan spoke out and said, “Jiang Yi, I know you. You are the successor of the Mystic Thearch! What I want to know is this: have you come here today to help the demon race kill the human race?”

Jiang Yi lowered his head and ruminated. He waited for a long while before he answered, “This… I have not decided yet!”

“…”

Everyone present—human and demon alike—all rolled their eyes. However, many on both sides’ eyes lit up. Since Jiang Yi had not decided, he could potentially side with the humans and also could possibly side with the demons.

Jiang Xiaonu and Xiaonu were obviously obedient to Jiang Yi. Whichever side Jiang Yi stood on, that side would emerge victorious!

Tang Shenji’s eyes shifted as he said, “Jiang Yi, you have to think this through. You are a human! The hundreds of millions of human lives lost on the Stellarsky Continent; are you not going to avenge them? So many people have also died on the East Imperial Continent: Ao Lu was the mastermind behind everything. You are the successor to the Mystic Thearch; you should replace the Mystic Thearch and protect the human race. If the humans lost this battle, the human race would be annihilated. Do you not know that?”

The Sword Thearch had opened his mouth as well and said, “Jiang Yi, although we had a grudge against you that year, that is something internally between humans; we will not begrudge you if you want to exact revenge. However, this is now a war between humans and demons. If you stood on the demon race’s side this time, you will utterly become the traitor to the human race; you will bear infamy for ten thousand years!”

The Beast Thearch nodded and said, “That’s right! Jiang Yi, the enmity we have can be slowly settled and dealt with later on; this time, even if you decide not to help the human race, you cannot help the demon race as well. You can choose to be neutral! The billions of people in the Stellarsky Domain would be grateful towards you.”

The Black Deity and Shadow Emperor just wanted to say something, but with a wave of a hand from Ao Lu, he silenced the entire demon race. Ao Lu himself also kept quiet; he looked quietly at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi’s eyes became dazed as the entire place grew silent. Tens of millions of eyes were fixated on him, waiting for his decision.
