Chapter 1589: Fall From Zenith Translator: Legge Right now, an Ancestor realm battle had broken out on the battlefield of Enigma Palace. The Mahayana Patriarchs of Enigma Palace were using their lives and blood to buy time and protect Desolate Martial as they fought against the four primordial race Patriarchs. Although True Jade had an absolute advantage against Rakshasa Li Ying in the fight, it was difficult to determine the victor within a short period of time. Now that all the top sects and factions of Tianhuang Mainland were gathered here, the situation wouldn’t change even if any other factions arrived. Therefore, even when the bell of Enigma Palace sounded, no one paid attention. The battle was turning more intense! In just ten minutes, seven of the 17 Patriarchs had died. The remaining Patriarch Wu Hua and the others had their bodies torn at least once as well. All of them were covered in blood and had pale expressions. When the cultivators saw that, it was as though the unprecedented war between the human race and the Primordial Nine Races in the ancient era had resurfaced before them once more. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 The tragic scenes of Mighty Figures and Patriarchs dying that were recorded in the ancient books had truly happened before everyone! However, compared to the cold text records, this was far more shocking and tragic! Furthermore, all the cultivators knew that the current battle was merely a test between the Patriarchs of the Primordial Six Races and the human race. The top Ancestor realm experts had yet to appear. The Emperors of the various races had not appeared either. Once a late-stage or perfected Mahayana Patriarch appeared and the Emperors descended, that would be the true battle! Whether or not there was a negotiation, there was a high chance that this Ten Thousand Race Meet would determine the situation of Tianhuang Mainland in the future! It would determine the future of the human race! “Give up,” After a few head-on clashes with True Jade and suffering immense losses, Patriarch Li Heng no longer fought her head-on. Instead, he used his movement technique’s speed to hold her back. ‘True Jade was stronger than Patriarch Li Ying. However, she had no way of suppressing him completely as well. “Tl be blunt,” Patriarch Li Ying pouted his lips in disdain. “You Patriarchs of the human race are merely delaying things.” “Some of the top-tier Patriarchs of our primordial races have yet to appear. If they do, even the Emperors of the human race might not be able to defend against them!” Patriarch Cang Ming said coldly, “The Primordial Nine Races suffered immense losses in the primordial war against the taboos. That was the only reason why the human race had a chance to rise.” “To be precise, if a supreme expert like the Human Emperor had not appeared out of nowhere and turned the tides, your human race would have lost a long time ago!” At the mention of the Human Emperor, a wary look flashed through the eyes of the five Patriarchs of the primordial races present. Even though the Human Emperor had been gone for countless years, his reputation had shocked history and the primordial races were extremely wary of him! Patriarch Shen Yu shook his head gently and said slowly, “Unfortunately, immense fortune is required for a variant like the Human Emperor to be born.” “However, in this generation, the human race is at the end of its road. There’s no way you can possess a supreme expert like the Human Emperor. Your human race is finished!” “The human race is at the end of its road…” Many cultivators were silent and their expressions dimmed. Even without Patriarch Shen Yu pointing it out, they knew what was going on. In this generation’s human race, it could be seen from all aspects that their fortune was extremely weak. It was lifeless without any vigor. Most of the cultivators no longer had the heroic and courageous spirit of the ancient era. They no longer had the fervent fighting spirit and persistence! In fact, cracks even surfaced between the major sects and factions of the cultivation world. All the cultivators were no longer united. All signs were telling the world that the human race was at the end of its road! During this period of time, Desolate Martial rose and established the Martial Dao, imparting martial arts to all living beings and establishing the spirit of the Martial Dao, increasing the vigor of the cultivation world. However, it was too late! The Martial Dao had only appeared for a few hundred years. Although Desolate Martial was the number one monster incarnate in history, he had yet to advance to the Mahayana realm and his future was uncertain! The Primordial Six Races would not give the human race or Desolate Martial time. In reality, that was the utmost truth of the great Dao and the eternal rules of the world. Everything in the world falls from its zenith. In the primordial era, the three great taboos reigned domineeringly and the Primordial Nine Races ruled over Tianhuang Mainland. At their peak, it triggered the primordial war. The three taboos fell and the Primordial Nine Races suffered immense losses as well. The human race seized the opportunity to rise. The Primordial Nine Races only declined completely after the ancient war and were trapped in a corner of Tianhuang Mainland to recuperate. As for the human race, they had dominated Tianhuang Mainland for countless years. Just like the Primordial Nine Races in the past, they were extremely strong until they peaked. After a long period of deterioration thereafter, they were completely defeated in this era. This was the fall from zenith and this shift in momentum was not something that could be reversed by sheer effort. In the primordial era, even the strong three taboos and the Primordial Nine Races could not defend against the suppression of the shifting momentums. Patriarch Shen Yu was not wrong. The human race was at the end of its road. There was no way such a thin fortune could produce a supreme expert like the Eternal Human Emperor! Unfortunately, there was an additional variable for the human race in this generation. Many years ago, a woman arrived in Tianhuang Mainland and brought a scholar from an unassuming small town into the cultivation world, altering his fate! This woman had altered the scholar’s fortune! This scholar laid down a great vow to alter the fates of all living beings in the world! Therefore, although everyone from Enigma Palace, including the storyteller, could tell that the fortune of the human race was depleted, they could not divine the fate of that scholar! That was the reason why the storyteller told the scholar that he was the future hope of the human race! That was the reason why the Mahayana Patriarchs of Enigma Palace spared no effort to protect the scholar from harm! “Give up,” Patriarch Shen Yu looked at Patriarch Wu Hua who was not far away and said indifferently, “Your blood qi is weak and is no longer enough to support your Blood Rebirth.” “Nobody can stop us from killing Desolate Martial!” “Who says so?!” Right then, a voice sounded from outside Enigma Palace. It sounded tender, as though the person who spoke was pretty young. “Mmm?” The expressions of the living beings of the ten thousand races changed. Who would dare to stand on Desolate Martial’s side at this moment and go against the Primordial Six Races? All the living beings of the ten thousand races looked over. A group of living beings with majestic auras walked over from outside Enigma Palace. There were hundreds of them and they seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. When gathered, the hundreds of living beings seemed like an unfathomable ocean! Although those living beings were in human form, they were clearly not human and were shrouded by demonic qi. There were Conjoint Body Mighty Figures and Half-Martial Ancestor experts! The auras released by the hundreds of them were as vast as an ocean and were not inferior to the Primordial Six Races! Among the hundreds of living beings, a black-robed young man stood. He looked to be around 16 years old and was rather handsome. His eyes were huge, watery and unusually agile. Many powerful living beings protected the black-robed young man in the middle as though he was a planet orbited by stars!
