Chapter 685: Chapter 518: The Immortal Clan Appears, Descendant of the Yang God!
As if Heaven Creation was unfolding, all brilliance converged and gathered at the center.
Every creature’s gaze was drawn to the center of the light, their minds rippling and their expressions blank, as if witnessing the most unfathomable event of their lives.
This was a scene of beauty pushed to the extreme.
Gorgeous, resplendent, sacred.
As if it only existed within dreams.
Countless colorful runes floated about, streams of light flowed, and the three thousand great paths were all revealed.
The Chaos Qi, the primordial Qi, the Yin Yang Qi, the light of the Five Elements, various mystical energies entangled together.
And at the very center of it all, a figure appeared.
She seemed not of this world but rather a celestial being from the heavens, pure and incomparably beautiful, akin to an incarnation of the great Dao.
In fact, she was indeed no mortal.
She was the Goddess of Life!
Of course, this form of the Goddess of Life was not her complete self.
It was only a somewhat youthful and tender version of the Goddess of Life.
This was because even the Goddess of Life could not entirely break free from the shackles of the Sea of Chaos, despite the support of the entire Mechanical Sea.
Thus, this was merely a part of her consciousness, or perhaps half of her Divine Soul.
Then, by fashioning the Life Tree into a vessel and merging with it, she became a brand new entity.
Lacking the mature charm of the later Goddess of Life.
Yet, more youthful and radiant.
Making all creatures view her as the most wonderful goddess in their hearts, like a first love, the light of the white moon.
“The universe’s foremost Goddess has finally descended.”
“Truly, today’s sight makes the journey worthwhile.”
Around her, powerful figures from various factions watched; they were not from the Mechanical Sea’s forces, merely here to observe, but they could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Such was the enchantment of the Goddess of Life.
“I am not the true Goddess of Life; my name is Heavenly Maiden.”
The woman spoke, her voice sweet, resonating as if with the Dao itself, enchanting the soul:
“But at this moment, I should be invincible.
“Enough to dominate the scene.”
“Wow!”
The scene erupted into a buzz.
The Mechanical Sea boiled over with excitement.
The reason was simple – recently, the Human Clan’s Champion Marquis had reached Demigod Level, looming like a sharp sword over their heads.
Leaving them perpetually uneasy.
Now, they of the Mechanical Sea would finally be able to suppress the Human Clan.
The Champion Marquis would no longer be a threat.
As for the alias that the Goddess of Life had chosen for this descent, they weren’t interested.
Nor did it matter.
“Prepare to erase Xu Gu. Suppress the Human Clan.”
Heavenly Maiden spoke lightly, her aloofness unparalleled.
…
The news of the Goddess of Life’s alternative identity spread, causing an uproar across the cosmos.
“Heavenly Maiden? Interesting. I could work with her.”
The Beast God, seated high in the Divine Court, smiled upon receiving the news.
There was a hint of covetousness for the Heavenly Maiden.
Heavenly Maiden, as the youthful version of the Goddess of Life, whether by identity, status, appearance, or power, was among the most prestigious and top-tier in the cosmos.
The glory of conquering such a woman, what a feat it would be!
Any man would be moved by the thought.
Surrounded by the powerhouses of the Mechanical Sea, Heavenly Maiden ascended to the throne, like a young empress.
“Cooperation? They of the Divine Court are but a bunch of losers from the old era; now they’re even our vassals, and they dare talk of partnering with us?”
The goddess was slightly annoyed, her cold laughter unceasing:
“First, let them fight against the Human Clan.
“When they are both heavily injured, we will make our move and take control of the situation.”
“What if they don’t fight?” the Witch Queen spoke in a low voice.
Being a 9-star Extreme King, and a female at that, she was chosen by the goddess to become her close official.
“Not fight? Then we’ll annihilate them.”
The goddess said indifferently: “What’s the use of keeping a dog that won’t bite people?”
“Yes!”
The leaders of the Mechanical Sea accepted this outcome without any surprise, and readily agreed.
Because, the words of the goddess were true. Whether it was the Divine Domain Continent or the Divine Court, they were just dogs they had raised.
…
At a time when the universe itself was in turmoil,
not only were the hostile forces against the Human Clan reacting.
The friendly forces of the Human Clan were also stirring.
Deep in the universe, within a certain Star Domain.
A figure descended onto an Ancient Star, hands behind his back, standing on a flying sword, gracefully traversing the expanse.
With an aura of a lofty sage, and a demeanor ethereal, his presence could not be underestimated, as if he possessed the terrifying power to turn the world upside down to the extreme.
“This leader of the Immortal Clan is indeed too powerful!”
“Indeed! Worthy of being a living Immortal Master!”
“The Immortal Clan and the Human Clan share the same roots, both are branches of the ancient Human Clan that separated early on, unaffected by the era of decline, they have continued their glory and naturally are strong.”
“If it weren’t for the Yang God a thousand years ago, and now Xu Gu emerging, perhaps the Immortal Master would have been the savior of the Human Clan.”
Many prodigies around were astounded.
The ethereal figure was none other than the Immortal Master of the Immortal Clan—Ling Cangqiong.
As these prodigies and powerhouses speculated, the Immortal Clan was initially a new race that developed from Qi Cultivators who ventured out of Blue Star and began to colonize a remote star domain in the universe.
Because their Star Domain was remote and not yet invaded by the Mechanical Sea and unaffected by the era of decline, they were still considered strong.
Although not as powerful as the Mechanical Sea, the Human Clan, or even the Divine Domain Continent that inherited the legacy from the Divine Era.
But the strong speculated they were much stronger than the Demon Abyss.
Although they had separated from the Human Clan for many long years and no longer considered themselves part of the Human Clan.
The Human Clan and the Immortal Clan, like two brothers, each lived their own lives.
However, in times of disaster, they always stood together.
Ling Cangqiong, as the Immortal Master of the Immortal Clan, naturally possessed unfathomable power, with many rumors asserting he was a 9-star Extreme King, only one step away from Demigod.
And when fully unleashed, he might wield the combat power of the Demigod Level.
Most crucially, there were rumors he was not even the strongest within the Immortal Clan!
“Xu Gu? Worthy of inheriting the majority of the ancient Human Clan’s legacy, he is truly a prodigy. A thousand years ago, the Yang God was born, and now Xu Gu has emerged.
“So dazzling that they are almost blinding.
“As the Immortal Master of the Immortal Clan, I need to push myself harder.”
Ling Cangqiong smiled lightly, in good spirits.
“However, this Xu Gu is even more arrogant and has angered far too many enemies than the Yang God ever did.”
Honestly, even he felt that Xu Gu had provoked too many enemies.
And fortunately, it wasn’t him; otherwise, it would have been quite the headache.
“Perhaps the young ones of the Human Clan are also having headaches now?”
“In that case, let’s give them a helping hand.”
Ling Cangqiong laughed heartily, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot, already flying across the universe, heading towards the territory of the Human Clan.
As a cultivator, he had lived through longer years than countless old fossils of the Human Clan, so of course, he could call them youngsters.
On another ancient star deep in the universe.
An extremely handsome figure was leisurely conquering Secret Realms, obtaining Secret Storages.
Divine lights twinkled on his body, dazzling with a golden aura soaring to the skies, above his head coalesced into a splendid golden canopy, exuding imperial majesty!
He was a descendant of the Yang God lineage.
