Chapter 920: The Cosmos as a Mausoleum (1/2)

As the foremost divine mountain of the world of celestials, Kunlun Mountain’s life point was the life point of the celestial court and connected to the fortunes of all of the connate demon gods.

Lu Yun had planned to drive the long bronze spear into the mountain’s life point with the Dragonspike Litany and scatter the fortunes of the celestial court and demon gods. But upon listening to Kaiming’s entreaty, he changed his mind.

……

“The rise of humanity and domination of this world is written into the great dao. The celestial court must come to an end and chaos realm demon gods must withdraw from the stage,” Lu Yun proclaimed coolly in front of the mountain’s life point. Hefting the spear, he sent the Dragonspike Litany whirling into furious operation.

Crackle—

Black electricity sizzled around him and collected as the dreadful Death Spike of the litany.

When he planted the Death Spike on Mount Exalted, it’d caused the destruction of the Exalted Immortal Sect and Exalted celestial court. At that time, his Dragonspike Litany hadn’t even reached the realm of minor perfection.

Times were different now—he wielded a divine weapon from the chaos and his method was infinitely close to great perfection. This spike would destroy the entire mountain and maybe even render the fleeing celestial palace into dust. Haotian had escaped into the stars with what remained of his court, vacating the world of celestials for the moment.

“I won’t destroy Kunlun Mountain today or extinguish the court’s fortunes… Your destiny will remain in your own hands!”

Rumble!

Boundless black lightning screamed and danced in a mad frenzy as Lu Yun drove the bronze spear into the mountain. However… he missed Kunlun’s life point by roughly three inches.

The action fractured earth and skies, quenching the sun and moon.

The world of celestials vibrated and quivered while an intangible dragon shadow slowly materialized within the mountain. It keened with anguish and screeched with pain. This was the dragon formed by the mountain’s life point, one that’d started taking physical shape.

Though Lu Yun’s Death Spike had missed its mark by three inches, the spear’s piercing edge still shook the entire mountain and ravaged the dragon. The land beneath Kunlun Mountain suddenly split open from the quaking, slowly pulling down the landmass and sending it into an eventual free fall into the great wilderness.

……

“The fortunes of the celestial court have been severed, now we cut down the heavens themselves!” roared the Yellow Emperor beneath Mount Buzhou.

Three hundred sixty-five sparkling human figures rose into the air like the stars. These were the geniuses that Lu Yun had selected from the Yan Tribe; they’d all reached empyrean realm after training under Wahuang and Fuxi’s hand.

All of them together signified the major stars of the night sky and bolstered humanity’s fortunes. They represented the prosperity of the human race! Now that they advanced to the world of celestials, they brought human fortune directly into their new territory, along with the presence of the world’s new sovereign race.

When they soared into space, they were swiftly met with three hundred and sixty-five major stars in the cosmos, each of which melded with their respective genius.

Humanity’s three hundred and sixty-five star divinities, city lords of the future three hundred and sixty-five major cities, were thus officially born! [1]

A massive human army and various allied troops followed the star divinities to flood into the world of celestials, occupying the vast planet for their own. The great wilderness was the foundation of this realm and the world of celestials its land of milk and honey!

……

“Bastards!” Overlooking the world in his slightly tattered celestial palace up in the skies, Haotian glowered at the human allied troops. There were so many of them that they completely blotted out the skies and ground, shifting as one massive entity.
