read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1797

The cracks on the ground were too shocking and terrifying.

Those who lived through the land splitting 100,000 years ago were terrified. Even after 100,000 years had passed, the fear from the land splitting that year left an indelible mark on their hearts and minds. It was their biggest nightmare.

This place was closest to the place where the Great Void and the Unknown Land was the closest. If the split started from this place, it was likely that history would repeat itself.

“The land is splitting,” Xi Wangmu, who was standing in the midst of the fierce beasts, said with an unsightly expression.

“The land has begun to split?”

The disaster has begun, heralding the end of the world.

The fierce beasts grew more and more restless. They seemed to be losing their reason as well, on the verge of madness. Killing intent surged in the sky above the Great Abyss Land.

At this time, Shang Zhang spoke, pulling everyone back to their senses. He said, “The fall of the Great Void is inevitable. That aside, you’re a Saint slayer from ancient times; your life is nearing the end. Even if the sky doesn’t fall, do you think you’ll be able to live for long?”

Xi Wangmu remained calm as it said, “I will fight for all living things, even if it’s just gaining an extra day of being alive. What right do you have to deprive them of their right to live?”

Shang Zhang was about to refute Xi Wangmu’s words when Si Wuya flew up. He cupped his fists together at Xi Wangmu and said, “You’re wrong. The collapse of the Great Void has nothing to do with us. How are we depriving them of their right to live?”

…

Xi Wangmu said, “Is that so? Why don’t you stop the girl now and use all her power to mend the cracks.”

Si Wuya said with a smile, “That’s a little unreasonable. It’s useless. Why take away her power when it’ll help us face the disaster in the future?”

“How do you know it’s useless when you haven’t tried?” Xi Wangmu said with a burning gaze. When it met Si Wuya’s gaze, she saw the faint red light in his eyes. It asked, slightly surprised, “Ling Guang?”

Si Wuya nodded. He did not deny it. In a sense, he was Ling Guang, the Fire Deity.

Xi Wangmu was visibly disappointed. Then, it said disapprovingly, “The Four Divinities of Heaven are supposed to protect the balance between heaven and earth. Why would you collude with these humans to destroy the Great Void and the balance?”

Si Wuya smiled. He brought out three talismans and ignited them.

Subsequently, projections of Jian Bing, the White Tiger, who was with Zhu Honggong; Yin Long, who was guarding the red lotus domain; and Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon, who was guarding the golden lotus domain appeared in the air.

Xi Wangmu looked at the three projections in disbelief.

“The Four Divinities of Heaven have always been steadfast in their mission. It was like that for the past 100,000 years, and it’s still the same. Even the Divinities have to face reality. Even Ying Long understands this. Xi Wangmu, you’ve lived for such a long time and contributed greatly to the world. Why won’t you face reality?” Si Wuya asked.

Xi Wangmu said resolutely, “To me, even if there’s a glimpse of hope, I won’t and can’t give up. I won’t laugh at you or belittle you for your choice and efforts. Everyone has their own purposes in life.”

Bai Zhaoju said with a smile, “You’re very clear-headed, but alas, you’re also very stubborn. You know you’ll fail, but you still insist on doing it.”

“Before my time comes, I want to lead like-minded creatures to find hope for life,” Xi Wangmu said.

Si Wuya shook his head and said somewhat regretfully, “Why? There’s no hope.”

“I’ll only know if I try,” Qi Wangmu said. Then, it raised her voice as it continued to say, “I might also be able to prove that all of you are wrong.”

Xi Wangmu’s eyes were clear and determined. It was as though it had seen through everything. Its mind was clear, and its words indicated it knew what she was doing and it also knew what Si Wuya and the others were doing.

Xi Wangmu slowly raised its hand. With just a small wave, humans and fierce beasts would enter a new era of war.

At this time, Si Wuya suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”

“What do you want to say?” Xi Wangmu asked as it looked at the young man in front of it.

“I’d like to ask if the hope you speak of is based on our failure?” Si Wuya asked.

Was it a situation where only when one party was destroyed that the other party would be satisfied? This would determine the outcome.

Xi Wangmu was stunned. It fell silent. No one knew what it was thinking. After a while, it finally said calmly, “Yes and no…”

“…”

‘What a useless answer…’

No one knew what to say.

Xi Wangmu was very determined and would not change her stance. It was almost impossible for someone to convince it using principles of life when it had lived for such a long time.

Xi Wangmu said loudly, “Stop comprehending the Great Dao now!”

Si Wuya had always been proud of his ability to debate, convince, and persuade others with his words and knowledge. However, faced with Xi Wangmu’s stubbornness, he felt truly helpless. In the end, he only nodded and said, “The wise men were right. History is made of stories of blood and tears. No peace was ever obtained through words and principles alone. I hope the war today will be the last lesson in your life.”

These words were the last exchange of words between both sides.

Xi Wangmu also knew it could not persuade Si Wuya and the others.

With that, countless fierce beasts rushed toward Little Yuan’er who bathed in a golden light. There were terrifying-looking beast emperors and graceful supreme beasts.

“Very well. I’ll accompany you until the end,” Shang Zhang said as his eyes burned. A golden astrolabe appeared in just a blink of an eye and expanded swiftly, cutting through the sky.

The fierce beasts with weaker cultivation bases were instantly cut open by the astrolabe and plummeted from the sky.

The powerful fierce beasts dodged up and down as they continued to charge forward.

Xi Wangmu rose higher into the sky as her hands moved quickly.

Flower-like energy seals rained on the fierce beasts, healing their injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Upon seeing this, Ling Weiyang laughed. “As expected of an ancient Saint slayer. What an amazing skill. Shang Zhang, can you handle it or not?”

Shang Zhang ignored Ling Weiyang’s teasing and brought out his supreme avatar that had nine light disks. Just the height from the nine light disks alone was enough to let it tower over the world.

The avatar burst forth with incredible power and sent all the fierce beasts flying. A large number of them were reduced to dust.

At this moment, a huge green bird with a green head and black eyes flapped its wings and flew out from the back. It let out a piercing screech that spread 50,000 miles away in all directions. It could even be heard in the Great Void.

Si Wuya hurriedly said,”Your Majesty, be careful. It’s the Ternary Green Bird.”

The Ternary Green Bird was the bird of prey that Xi Wangmu raised. It was rumored to be indestructible and possessed astonishing power that could move mountains and overturn the sea.

The Ternary Green Bird’s movement was light and graceful. When it arrived in front of Shang Zhang, it suddenly grew 10,000 times larger and spat a ball of green energy at him.

Shang Zhang used his astrolabe to defend himself. He used the laws to restrain and fight the bird, which was putting up a good fight.

Upon seeing this, Ling Weiyang said, shocked, “The Ternary Green Bird is on par with a supreme emperor?”

“The Ternary Green Bird was born at the beginning of the world. Most laws are useless against it. Even the law of space can only restrain it temporarily,” Bai Zhaoju said.

Ling Weiyang nodded. “Only the law of time can deal with it.”

Xi Wangmu continued to weave flower-like energy seals with her hands and send them into the Ternary Green Bird’s body. Strengthened by Xi Wangmu, the longer it fought, the more valiant and stronger it became.

Shang Zhang used five light disks. They blast out beams of light that illuminated the sky toward the Ternary Green Bird. They managed to force the Ternary Green Bird back.

However, following that, 10,000 fierce beasts pounced over like a tsunami, unafraid of death. They were easily killed, and their carcasses rained down on the Great Abyss Land.

Upon seeing this, Xi Wangmu pointed two fingers. Then, a dazzling beam of light shot out, tearing through space as it made its way to Shang Zhang. The light had a dream-like quality to it; one second it looked like water, and the next second, it looked like the galaxy.

Shang Zhang quickly held up his astrolabe and blocked the beam of light.

“This is…”

“Ancient Primal Qi?” Ling Weiyang was shocked.

“Ancient Primal Qi? I thought it’s gone extinct?” Si Wuya asked.

Ancient Primal Qi was much purer, hence, its power was extraordinary.As time passed, mountains, rivers, the sea, and the air changed, bringing with it civilization. With that, the energy was tainted and became the Primal Qi of today.

“Perhaps, Xi Wangmu used some sacred relic to store it…”

While Shang Zhang and Xi Wangmu were in a stalemate, the Ternary Green Bird suddenly flew over.

Bai Zhaoju leaped up and said, “It’s unfair to win with numbers.”

“I don’t need your help,” Shang Zhang said.

Bai Zhaoju retorted, “This isn’t the time to show off. This is war.”

Shang Zhang looked around the vast sky and saw the fierce beasts that filled the sky. Through the eyes of his avatar, he saw enemies coming from all directions. At this moment, he finally realized there was no point in holding back; there was truly no hope to resolve this with minimal damage. He said angrily, “Kill! Since time immemorial, only blood can bring peace! Kill!”

Nine light disks descended from Shang Zhang’s lotus.

Boom!

Si Wuya, Conch, and the Feather tribesmen looked up and saw an unforgettable scene.

The light disks easily and domineeringly turned the fierce beasts into carcasses in just a blink of an eye.

“So ruthless,” Ling Weiyang said as he flew up into the sky as well.

Xi Wangmu looked at the carcasses of the fierce beasts expressionlessly. She was neither happy nor sad as though she had grown numb to it.

The huge commotion had already attracted the attention of the halls of the Great Void. Many cultivators quickly gathered.

The pressure and fear of the end of the world heightened the cultivators’ survival instincts. All of them rushed to the Great Abyss Land immediately.

Si Wuya had already expected this. He unfurled his flaming wings and flew to Little Yuan’er’s side before he called out, “Conch, come here.”

Conch quickly moved to stand next to Little Yuan’er and Si Wuya.

Meanwhile, the battle between the three supreme emperors and Xi Wangmu was so high up now that it could no longer be seen in the sky.

However, carcasses continued to rain down on the Great Abyss Land.

At the same time, countless fierce beasts, both weak and strong; and small and big, continued to rush toward the Great Abyss Land. To them, the Pillar of Destruction at the Great Abyss Land could not fall.

At this time, a pair of huge silvery white wings appeared near the upper core. It was the first elder of the Feather tribe. His body shone as he said in a clear voice, “Listen to my orders. Seal the upper core.”

“Understood!”

Si Wuya’s eyes were red as he looked at the first elder and said, “The Feather tribe intends to make an enemy out of the Sacred Temple?”

The first elder said in a sonorous and powerful voice, “You’re wrong. From the beginning until now, the Sacred Temple has always been on the Feather tribe’s side.”

Then, the first elder did not explain any further.

Feather tribesmen flew over from all directions toward the upper core.

This meant that the Feather tribe had declared war.
