Chapter 887: Chapter 543: 72 Star Pearls Complete! Hou Yi’s Great Sun-Shooting War Begins! (Part 2)

It is this group of Sea Race lurking on the seafloor.

Because this group of Sea Race watched the Human Race grow.

Originally an ant-like race, it took only ten thousand years to grow strong enough to resist the entire Star Sea Sea Race.

They even earned the title of the primary affiliated race of the Starry Sea Dragon Palace.

Most of the Sea Race were dissatisfied.

Therefore, just a slight provocation by the Human Race caused them to fall into the trap.

The Human Race isn’t adept in water, but their advanced Qi Refining, talismans, Array, pills, and even puppetry and Beast Taming all contribute to the war.

[The war begins, the Human Race advances in a blitz.]

[The land-based Demon Country was excited, they began various agitations, trying to further widen the gap between the Sea Race and Human Race.]

[The Human Race, however, did not react and silently commenced the war.]

[The Sea Race started complaining to the Dragon Race, but the Human Race’s prior setup of dragon-shaped Qi Fortune had already won the trust of the Dragon Race.]

[The Dragon Race also upheld the Demon Race’s law of survival of the fittest.]

[They merely set boundaries: no genocide, no rampant slaughter, other than that, they let the two races go at it.]

[And with the strong support of the Netherworld, the profession of Divine Descent Mage, originally considered a side path, gradually gained fame and faintly rose to the status in true cultivation.]

[You descend the Fengdu Road Guide.]

[Divine Descent Mages possessing the Fengdu Road Guide can tread the Fengdu Bone Road with their souls, passing the trials can summon your power.]

"Dark night descends, Netherworld Road Guide. Yin spirits gather, Soul Gate first arrives.

"Spirit and mind unite, Fengdu’s breath. With sincerity, I implore descent."

"Fengdu’s order, Yin Yang controlled. Heaven and Earth shine, my Law boundless."

Deep within the ocean.

The Water-Repelling Pearl shook precariously.

A Divine Descent Mage stood on the altar.

A dagger was plunged into his heart.

His eyes were vacant, but within them reflected the endless road of vengeful souls in the Netherworld.

Gradually, the scene shifted.

He saw the figure in white standing in the pavilion.

"Approved"

One word softly spoken.

In an instant, massive repulsion erupted centered on the altar.

A vacuum sphere with a radius of a thousand meters exploded.

Then, an endless nether wind filled inside.

A huge city phantom appeared.

Above the city, two words were inscribed.

Fengdu

A stream of light flew out from within the city.

The Celestial Demon at the back of the Sea Race army felt a chill all over.

In the blink of an eye, countless ice condensed around him.

A ray of light pierced him.

Instantly pinning him against a distant rock.

In the dark seabed, an even colder darkness descended.

Even in the deep sea, all beings could not escape the Netherworld Law.

And in the distance.

Cultivators of various attire and appearance were orderly, they supported the Divine Descent Mage.

At the same time, deeply bowed towards Fengdu.

"We thank the Fengdu Emperor!"

The Fengdu apparition vanished.

The surrounding seawater rushed back in and stood.

Yet, several talismans flickered with light.

They swallowed a few pills.

In an instant, those present gained the ability to breathe underwater and see in the dark.

They swiftly maneuvered swords in the water.

Slaying the Sea Race who was still in shock and whose morale had greatly declined.

"The twenty-first target successfully executed!"

[Ten thousand years old, the war spanning over a thousand years ended.]

[The Human Race acquired sixty-eight Divine Artifact prototypes, the remaining four tightly held by the Sea Race Great Saints.]

[The Human Race spent substantial resources, using the Dragon Palace as a mediator, successfully claiming the remaining four Deity prototypes at the negotiation table.]

[At thirteen thousand years old, seventy-two Artifact Refining Masters sacrificed their lives to forge the Star Pearl prototype from a millennium of artifact refining insight.]

[The Profound Lady guided the Outer Heaven wind, gathered the starlight and spirits of myriad rivers.]

[The Human Race’s first World Deity, Seventy-Two Star Pearls, was born!]

[The Seventy-Two Star Pearls rose from the seabed to the high heavens, forming the Seventy-two Stars Formation above the night sky, led by Immortals, unbreakable by any but Golden Immortals.]

"Damn it!"

"Are those Sea Race vegetarians?!"

"To let the Human Race secretly complete the forging like this."

"Human Race!!!"

Some powerful members of the Demon Race became furiously powerless upon learning the news.

The Sea Race was stunned, their emotions complex.

With the anger of being toyed with by the Human Race.

Because in the Sea Race, apart from the three Great Saints who knew the truth.

Most of the Sea Race genuinely believed the Human Race would snatch resources from them.

Unexpectedly it was for the Divine Artifact prototypes.

However.

The Sea Race had always treated the Divine Artifact prototypes as cultivation resources.

Never realizing these Deity prototypes were the true essence nurtured for ten thousand years by the Star Sea.

If not for a person with great Qi Fortune in the Human Race discovering this secret and reporting it to the Cultivation Council.

Finally confirmed by Luo Xuanjun, this secret might have been hidden for an unknown amount of time.

But, besides that, there was a hint of joy in the Sea Race.

The Sea Race always guarded their little territory beneath the sea.

Because only the deep-sea environment was suitable for them.

Expansion outward? What would they want with those lands?

The Star Sea is not the Four Seas, limited in size.

They want to cultivate within the Star Sea.

Outsiders should not enter the sea and oppose them.

The Human Race’s actions undoubtedly protected them too.

Experts across the continent could faintly sense the impending stormy atmosphere.

Star Sea was situated between the Witch Race and Demon Race, these strong Sea Race members were naturally tense.

But they didn’t expect their neighboring Human Race to have completed the plan.

The Seventy-Two Cosmic Star Pearls’ emergence also protected these Sea Race members.

Those three Sea Race Great Saints might have had this thought, which is why they agreed to hand the Divine Artifact prototypes over to the Human Race.

[Thirteen thousand years old.]

[Great Witch Hou Yi shot the Golden Crow Great Saint with an arrow.]

[Golden Crow Great Saint fell, the Golden Crow Race was furious.]

[Comprehensive war erupted.]

[The entire Witch Demon Continent fell into chaos.]

[Instantly, mountains and rivers shattered, the starry sky incomplete.]

"Comprehensive war broke out..."

In the living world, comprehensive warfare began.

The Netherworld also became exceptionally lively.

A large number of Wandering Souls appeared, captured by Ghost Messengers.

"Even after expanding the Netherworld, it’s not enough for these Ghost Souls."

"I can only let Heaven and Earth handle a part of reincarnation."

Zhao Fu raised his head, his brow showing worry.

Above the Netherworld.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation remained stalled, not descending.

The yellow figure had not the slightest ripple.

As if no war had ever happened in the outside world.

"The Witch Demon war is truly too intense."

"Not just the Witch Race and Demon Race, the Demon Race Great Saints and Witch Race Great Witches conducted more than one life-and-death combat above the Nine Heavens!"

How did Zhao Fu know?

Because more than one Great Saint’s remnant soul had already drifted into the Netherworld.

Great Saints have transcended the world, out of the Five Elements.

Into logic, their post-death destination cannot be decided by outsiders.

But their destruction of Heaven and Earth, doomed them to pay their debts even after death.

"Boom——————"

Suddenly, the Netherworld began to shake.

The entire Fengdu City’s strong cultivators stepped into the void, their gaze heavy, fixed on the distant sky.

Brilliant sunlight shone.

In a moment, countless Ghost Souls dissipated.

"Hou Yi! Harm my descendants! Today I’ll take your life in return!"

A roar sounded.

All of Heaven and Earth shook.

Nine Great Suns appeared in the sky.

One among them was the most dazzling.

From within, a figure in a golden robe appeared, diving towards the Witch Race’s camp.

"Damn it!"

"Have they all gone mad, to act as Great Saints on the mainland!"

The world trembled, the Netherworld being the world’s subsidiary, naturally shook intensely as well.

Even a trace of the scorching light from the living world was enough to scatter countless Ghost Souls.

The Great Sun inherently being the bane of ghosts.

And now, no one was paying attention to the Netherworld.
