Chapter 1224: Chapter 1172-1173: The Long River of Beacon Fires, The Struggle for Qi Luck_2 Chapter 1224: Chapter 1172-1173: The Long River of Beacon Fires, The Struggle for Qi Luck_2 Fire pillars, one after another, each city, each beacon fire, ignited the hope of the human race, burned the beliefs of the human race, turning into a golden Qi Luck ocean.
The Qi Luck Golden Dragon of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty in Tiandu, thousands of feet long, seemed to sense the call, emitting dragon roars after dragon roars, and roared towards the sky, soaring out from the Tiandu of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, and traversing the path of beacon fires, swimming in the Qi Luck ocean, protecting the entire human domain.
“We are the human race, and we must defeat all powerful enemies for the human race, though this battle costs us our lives, yet we have no regrets!” said the Great River Country Lord, his voice resounding throughout heaven and earth, vast and sonorous.
“Today, I, the Great River Ancient Country, vow to be the vanguard of the human race. Battle!”
“Vow to be the vanguard of the human race, battle!”
One by one, the strong from the Great River Ancient Country, with excited expressions and emotional countenances, roared towards the sky!
The ancient country is a long-standing existence within the human race, who have also experienced countless battles against the Demon Race.
Despite what these strong figures of ancient countries pursued on ordinary days, and what kind of character they had, facing the Demon Race, they still upheld their ancestors' pride, without the slightest retreat, boldly requesting battle.
“I didn't expect you to beat me to it!” Inside the Da Xue Divine Dynasty, the Da Xue Country Lord watched his old rival who had taken the lead, a trace of frustration flashing in his eyes.
As an ancient human country of same lineage, the Da Xue Ancient Country naturally would not shrink back, especially in this war to exterminate the Demon Race, which was related to the human race's Qi Luck. If victorious, having already refined the fruit of the Divine Tree, he might even advance further, so how could he miss out?
“The sons of Da Xue are not cowardly, today Da Xue, request battle!” the Da Xue Country Lord's deep voice echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
“Battle! Battle! Battle!”
One by one, the strong of the Da Xue Ancient Country shouted out resounding voices, echoing between heaven and earth.
Not just the strong of the Great River Ancient Country and Da Xue Ancient Country, but forces of the human race from various factions, ancient countries, Sects, independent practitioners, numerous strong figures successively reacted.
Under the command of Wang Boan, the human race's commander, military orders were issued continuously, facing up to the assaulting Demon Race's strong figures.
A vast war, on the brink of breaking out, was about to ensue in close-quarters combat.
Between the human race and the Demon Race, there was simply nothing to say, nor anything that could be said.
A true battle of life and death, where the losers would perish and their race would be annihilated, would not involve any holding back.
Thunder rumbled, beacon fires erupted, demon energy soared to the sky, numerous Demon Race warriors, wielding Divine Weapons, instantly clashed with the strong of the human race, droplets of fresh blood scattering across the sky.
This was a race war, where only cultivators of the Spirit Realm could serve as soldiers, those of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm could only serve as Centurions, those who stepped into the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Realm could serve as generals, and only those who stepped into the Supreme Strong Realm could command an army.
Watching the armies of both races clashing, the numerous Human Race True Immortals, the Overlords of the Supreme Strong Realm, and those Innate Gods and Demons who had returned to join the battle between the two races also began their own campaigns.
Forceful figures from both the human and Demon races aside, they all fought for their own racial interests, while those returning Innate Gods and Demons, even though they once belonged to a broad race in ancient times, many of them still recognized each other.
But as of today, they stood on different grounds and made different choices, naturally fighting each other for the benefit of their own future!
As innate gods and demons capable of returning, once they had recognized the era and made their choices, their pride would not allow them to do otherwise.
Therefore, when facing their opponents, these innate gods and demons held nothing back, each displaying their strongest divine abilities in a battle of life and death.
Accordingly, the many true immortals of the human race also chose their opponents for confrontation, very tacitly leaving behind the Lion Emperor and Pei Xuanjing.
This was not a coincidence but the most appropriate choice, because apart from these two, who were currently the most powerful true immortal strong among the human and demon races, it was also because they each wielded the most powerful artifacts of their respective races, which other true immortals simply could not contend with.
Before Pei Xuanjing had revealed that he had reached the rank of Three Proofs True Immortal, many true immortals from both the human and demon races thought that, though there was a gap, it could be bridged with some against-the-heavens type divine treasures.
They believed that even though God-Emperor Pei Xuanjing was powerful and had advanced far on the True Immortal Path, they still possessed some ability to resist, even if they could not defeat him.
However, the God Sealing List, an artifact that appeared in response to the times, was truly too terrifying. If the God-Emperor wielding the God Sealing List indeed possessed the ability to suppress and slaughter other true immortal strong, it meant that amongst the demon race, aside from the Lion Emperor who wielded the Demon Summoning Banner, there truly was no one who could contend.
The reason why Pei Xuanjing had yet to reveal his rank as a Three Proofs True Immortal was actually due to some concerns.
He was not concerned about other matters, but he worried that faced with an absolutely overbearing situation, the demon race would not choose to continue fighting, but instead opt to flee; this was Pei Xuanjing's greatest worry.
This scenario was not impossible to occur, after all, these true immortal demon gods of the demon race were not fools. They were willing to clash with the human race because they were confident in their own strength, believing that they had the potential to win.
Should Pei Xuanjing display too great a strength, rendering the demon race without even a slight chance of victory, they would choose to avoid conflict, driven by necessity, rather than face death.
If the demon race departed, that did not align with Pei Xuanjing's plans and also did not serve the best interests of the human race as a whole, especially since the demon race's Qi Luck was thriving at the moment. Their departure would be a loss not only for the human race but also for the heavens and the earth.
Reaching the pinnacle of the world through trials and tribulations or ascending smoothly without any danger, while seemingly similar, have fundamentally different impacts on the development of the human race.
Without the continuous combat with the demon race to plunder their Qi Luck and the tempering through blood and fire, even if enfeoffing Divine Positions, the human race would not be able to produce more powerful beings, which is a situation not desired by Pei Xuanjing or the many true immortals.
Therefore, even during the previous encounters with the true immortal demon gods, while he could have suppressed the demon race's true immortals, he still chose to hold back, giving hope to the demon race to reach their peak state.
Only when the demon race's Qi Luck reached its peak state and he acted at that moment could they ensure maximizing the benefits for the human race and obtaining the most advantages.
At this moment, the final battle between the two races has commenced, and the demon race has no avenue for retreat; thus, Pei Xuanjing need not make any further concealments.
“Lion Emperor, come forth! The ultimate conflict between our two races, still, has to be resolved between you and me. I, the Longevity Taoist of the human race, declare a duel with you in the name of the human race!” Pei Xuanjing burst with infinite radiance, with the human race's Qi Luck transformed into a dragon, travelling across the sky.
Typically, confrontations concerning the fate of two races, especially regarding Qi Luck, are initiated by the sovereigns of the races since the sovereigns shoulder most of the Qi Luck of a race.
Although Pei Xuanjing is not the Human Emperor, because the current Human Emperor has not assumed his position and Pei Xuanjing is the foremost among the human race and has founded the Taoist Academy to teach the human race, he inherently possesses endless Qi Luck.
Later, he also borrowed a human race Qi Luck treasure, the Kongtong Seal, temporarily wielding the human race's Qi Luck, hence allowing Pei Xuanjing to fully qualify to make such a decision.
The peak battle between the two races, with Qi Luck as the stake, victor plundering the loser's Qi Luck, was the most popular form of racial confrontation during the Ancient Era.
In those ancient times, the human race reached its pinnacle by continuously defeating the All Tribes and seizing their Qi Luck using such methods.
