Chapter 202 Sacred Race (1/2)

”Sacred race?”

As these two words echoed through the mist, s.p.a.ce seemed to ripple faintly. There was no longer any noise to be heard from their surroundings, as if all things were being suppressed.

From the sight of patriarch Cang Xuan's gloomy expression, Zhou Yuan could faintly feel the suffocating feeling from those two words. All of a sudden, he recalled the scenes he had seen in the underground palace of the Battle Puppet Sect in Black Water.

A long time ago, many powerful sects existed in the vast land of Black Water. Later on however, due to one of the so-called Sacred race's prided geniuses dying there, they sent down divine punishment, exterminating every last life form in Black Water...

Heartless and powerful.

This was the only impression Zhou Yuan had towards the Sacred race.

He had thought it would be a long time before he would encounter this ent.i.ty again, but who could have expected that he would once again hear of it here...

Zhou Yuan could not help but ask, ”What is the Sacred race?”

Yaoyao's bright eyes also looked towards patriarch Cang Xuan. She had read many ancient texts, but was unable to find much information regarding the Sacred race.

Patriarch Cang Xuan looked towards the sky with a complicated expression, an expression mixed with sorrowful hatred and fear.

”At the beginning, before any living had come into existence, the first race to be born from the primal ma.s.s of creation was the Sacred race.”

Patriarch Cang Xuan slowly continued, ”The Sacred race was endowed with superior talent, making them extremely powerful. In ancient times, they were the rulers of the world. Every other race, whether man, beast, or anything else were enslaved by them, living under their control.

”Later on, the various races rebelled, causing a great war to break out. Only through this were they able to free themselves from their slave shackles.”

”Even so, the Sacred race still act as if they are better than everyone else, making it forbidden to insult them. Members of the Sacred race have extremely high status, and the other races do not dare to make enemies of them, allowing them to thread over the races as they please.”

”Only the inexhaustible human race was able to grow strong on their own and make a place for themselves in the world. From our tiny beginnings, we struggled and grew, countless honorable ancestors protecting each generation. By paying a tremendous price, the human race was able to carve a place for ourselves. Even so, we were still at a disadvantage.”

Patriarch Cang Xuan sighed softly. ”Do you know what land we are currently on?”

”Cangxuan Heaven?” Answered Zhou Yuan.

Patriarch Cang Xuan then asked, ”What about outside Cangxuan Heaven?”

Zhou Yuan was rather taken aback. Cangxuan Heaven was already vast beyond his view. As for outside Cangxuan Heaven, how would he know? His current level was far too low after all.

”To be precise, the world we're on is called Tianyuan World. It is composed of nine Heavens, and Cangxuan Heaven is one of them.

Zhou Yuan was wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Only now did he realise how tiny he was. The seemingly endless Cangxuan Heaven in his eyes was a mere one of nine...

Just how vast was the entire Tianyuan World?

”Of the nine Heavens, the Sacred race owns four, while the other five are shared by the various races.”

Only now did Zhou Yuan truly understand how tyrannical the Sacred race was. To think that a single race would own nearly half of Tianyuan World.

”Then why is the Sacred race after me?” Yaoyao frowned slightly.

This was clearly the greatest mystery. The Sacred race relentlessly hunted her down, and even a Saint level expert like patriarch Cang Xuan had been willing to die in order to protect her.

Not to mention grandpa Hei who had also been protecting her all this time.

In response to this question, patriarch Cangxuan was silent for some time, before he said, ”I cannot give you an answer because the implications are far too great. Both of you are still too weak, knowing too much will only allow you to be more easily found by the great powers of the Sacred race.”

He stared at Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan as he continued, ”In the future, when both of you become truly strong, you will naturally find out.”
