Chapter 926: Flame Emperor of the Human Race (1/2)
The two great dao weapons of the human race were space and time. The one to refine the Dao Tree must have once obtained the great weapons and imbued their characteristics onto its spear and axe to create its own.
……
“Lu Yun, how dare you actually come!” A crimson long-haired monster that towered like a mountain brandished its bronze spear at the human.
The Dao Tree was extensive without end, like a real world. Dao fruits dotted its branches, all of them the result of the tree drawing from the immortal dao’s strength.
“The master of the Dao Tree plainly wants to use it to seize the immortal dao.” Lu Yun frowned faintly before looking at the enormous creature that’d addressed him.
“Why wouldn’t I come? What do you nonexistent things think you can do to me?” He recognized the long-haired creatures this time; they had tangible forms now, which whittled away at their strength. He’d seen them in Pangu’s tomb before, but he’d only been able to see their footprints then since they didn’t have a physical form.
Akasha souls. The things that the enormous akasha ghost had nurtured in its body.
“And, Dao Tree, I know you bear a grudge, but you still would’ve died even if we’d allowed the akasha ghost to crawl to the world of celestials back then! In fact, your death would’ve been even more grisly if that had happened,” Lu Yun roared. “Though I destroyed you, I left you a ray of hope. How could you turn around to ravage life instead?!”
Kerrrrack.
An ear-piercing crack came from the top of the enormous tree as a pair of blood-red eyes gradually opened upon it.
“Flame Emperor of the human race!” A bloody mouth slowly ripped open for it to howl back, “I am the foremost divine tree of the heavens! I would have lived in the chaos even if the great wilderness had fallen to fire and water, and the world returned to the chaos! Nothing could have destroyed me apart from Worldcarver!
“But you destroyed mine body for the sake of insignificant ants! So I will seek my vengeance upon those ants you cherish so dearly! KILL!!”
It’d gone completely mad; there were no other thoughts in its mind other than revenge.
Revenge.
If it couldn’t kill the Flame Emperor, then it would destroy the human race and world that he wanted to safeguard!
“What?! Lu Yun is the Flame Emperor of the human race?! How is that possible??” The bottom dropped out of the akasha souls’ stomach when they heard the exchange.
The Flame Emperor’s dreadful might had long been woven into the stories of their tribe. The first akasha ghost to invade the great wilderness had attempted to control Pangu’s body, but the Flame Emperor had injured it gravely and thrown it out, ultimately to die at the hands of the three founders of immortal dao.
The mighty akasha ghosts had to join their side if they were to vie against the Flame Emperor! Akasha souls that had already taken true form would only perish in front of this legendary human.
The Dao Tree flew into a rage when it saw the akasha souls refusing to move. Gray flames burst from its body and shot toward the horizon.
“That’s not good, it wants to break the seal!” Eyes widening in alarm, Qing Yu’s heavenly palace floated over her head and trailed down mesmerizing radiance, protecting Lu Yun and the Ten Yama Kings.
“No worries, this is Mount Xuanhuang. It won’t be able to cause any trouble here.” A leer quirked Lu Yun’s lips.
Rumble—
The void split open as a mammoth black tree descended from space, taking root on Mount Xuanhuang.
