361 Resurrection

"Flaming!"

The divine flames of people dao had a golden radiance to it. It was as though it sang praises to the culture and the magnificence of the civilisation. It symbolised the wishes of the humans and was filled with hope and beauty.

However, the divine flames were Xing's witchcraft dao Divine Body's nemesis! The moment the flames touched his body, the spiritual inscriptions on his body disintegrated immediately!

"Holy!"

Numerous souls of past heroes appeared and surrounded Xi. They began chanting and shined brightly as though Xi was a god.

Xi's eyes glistened. He raised his heavenly sword and sliced towards Xing's neck!

"Sigh…..."

A low pitched sigh could be heard rumbling. An earthquake erupted and a gigantic red coloured snake rose from the cracks on the ground.

The gigantic snake's body was totally red. It had a human face, a snake body and only one eye. When its snake-like eye was shut, the entire skies turned dark at once; once the snake opened its eye, the skies were bright again at once, as though the sun was red and shining brightly!

"Xi Chen!"

The snake roared and it's sun-like radiance shined on Xi's body.

"Back off!"

After the snake appeared, the ground was tattered and in pieces. Even parts of the city walls of Yang City were destroyed.

Both the armies of Xia Tribe and Jiuli Tribe suffered from the natural disaster as many of their soldiers were buried under piles of rocks and stones.

"This is the... Torch Dragon?"

Fang Yuan was surrounded by his sword essences. A green coloured beam of light flew out and shattered a huge piece of rock in front of him. He no longer cared about the black water dragon he was fighting against and he quickly moved backwards.

It was recorded in , "...There is a god-human here with a human face and a snake's body, and he is scarlet. He has vertical eyes that are in a straight seam. When this deity closes his eyes, there is darkness. When the deity looks with his eyes, there is light. He neither eats, nor sleeps, nor breathes. The wind and the rain are at his beck and call. This deity shines his torch over the ninefold darkness. This deity is Torch Dragon!"

The giant snake that just appeared was exactly the same as the Torch Dragon.

Except, the legend of the Torch Dragon stated that it was a thousand leagues long, however, this Torch Dragon was only at most half a mile long. Nevertheless, its might was already earth-shattering.

"It has hidden well deep within the earth! Once it appears, it moves as rapidly as lightning and thunder! A possessed body cultivated by a leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards indeed!"

Evidently, the Torch Dragon was the possessed body of a powerful being at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine. Furthermore, it had cultivated for extremely long to accumulate such a terrifying power!

"Haha... Jiu Yinzi, you finally appeared!"

No one could move closer to the battle between the powerful beings. But suddenly, a rough voice could be heard.

"Huuuuu! Huuuuuu!"

High above the skies, the originally pristine and white clouds turned red at once. A dragon head that was spitting flames emerged from the clouds and directly blocked the Torch Dragon's radiance.

"This voice!"

Fang Yuan raised his head and saw the clouds dispersing. A 6 Headed Fiery Dragon brandished its claws and leapt down. Its target was the Torch Dragon.

"Elder Smelter! Can't believe the reinforcement sent here is him!"

As the reinforcement was a familiar person, Fang Yuan had no thoughts of going forward to acquaint each other. Instead, he moved away immediately.

Just from the reverberation formed between the battle of two powerful beings at the 7th Stage of Illusionary Divine would severely injure people! Only fools would charge forward!

"Smelter!"

The Torch Dragon and the 6 Headed Fiery Dragon coiled around each other. A sinister smile appeared on the Torch Dragon's human face as he sniggered, "You are the person I wanted to lure over!"

"What?"

Xi Chen was shocked. He utilised his spiritual will and thought of something immediately, "The Hidden Dragon Guards still have further assistance? Impossible! Our leader has already confirmed, other than Jiu Yinzi, the rest are in other realms!"

A powerful being's heart had been forged through numerous experiences, it was extremely resolute.

Even though he was flustered, his jade-like hands were still resolute as ever as he sliced Xing's neck.

"Bam!"

The witchcraft inscriptions on Xing's body were already burnt by the divine flames of people dao. Now, with a slash from a powerful being's heavenly sword, his head flew up and warm blood spewed everywhere.

"Hate! Hate! Hate!"

Although Xing was already decapitated, his body still stood still. He used his fingers and wrote the word "hate" thrice with blood.

"Kaboom!"

An ominous stream of air filled with grievances shot up the skies and absorbed the dark red clouds before returning moments later.

"I, Xing of Jiuli Tribe, sacrifice my own body for the heavens! No regrets in death! Only to seek vengeance!"

"Kaboom!"

A purple coloured lightning flashed and struck Xing's headless corpse.

A strange transformation began at once.

A pair of eyes appeared on Xing's bare chest and his belly button turned into a mouth. It then roared and its voice was that of an ancient person, "I am... back!!!"

"Kaboom!"

Dark clouds loomed and purple bolts of lightning flashed. An enormous headless apparition appeared and merged with Xing's body.

An indescribable and petrifying atmosphere loomed at once!

"This is... revival with a drop of blood? No, it's possession! This is not Xing, this is Chi!" Xi Chen exclaimed.

"Ancient survivors? Demons from outside? Die!"

The eyes on Chi's chest stared intently at Xi. He moved his right arm and the glow of an axe struck at once.

At the same time, the nine black coloured blood dragons on his body emerged and roared. They easily broke free from the 9 Cauldrons' suppression.

"Clang!"

The axe and the sword clashed against each other and Xi moved back immediately. Cracks formed on the people dao heavenly sword at once.

"Chi is powerful indeed! He fought against the Sage before! In terms of power, he is even more powerful than Xing!"

Xi Chen's stare intensified as he continued, "Also... he seems to be boosted by tribal energy and the grievances of the heavens and earth. He is enacting punishment for the heavens and cannot be suppressed by the 9 Cauldrons!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The headless Chi strode forward and the land tremored along, it even trampled the spiritual territory! With yet another swing of his axe, he roared, "Evil demons from outside, die! War!!!"

The moment the word "war" came out of his mouth, the atmosphere changed at once. It was as though the energy from the entire realm's wars gathered and condensed on his giant axe.

In the surrounding, scenes of wars and battles appeared which pushed away the other spiritual territories. Even the Torch Dragon and the Fiery Dragon were pushed aside.

Furthermore, a purple lightning struck down and merged with the giant axe.

"Ah! Assist me, Green Wood!"

It was the first time Xi lost his composure. He sent out a spiritual will.

"The lush green forest thrives! Even if wildfires burn it down, it will regrow the next Spring!"

Inside the royal palace, a skinny elder in a green rope appeared. With every step he took, the surroundings turned into lush greenery that flourished luxuriantly.

"Fire from wood! Haste!"

A spiritual territory filled with greenery extended forward and complemented Xi Chen's sun. The situation was stabilised as they withstood the war energy from the battles in the 9 Regions.

"Such a pity..." Xi Chen thought.

Xi Chen watched and shook his head as he thought, "After all, this spiritual territory of mine is not purely true fire-type. If the two elders, Green Wood and Smelter, can cooperate with each other, their power would better complement each other. Sadly, the two of them hold grudges against each other and it would be impossible for them to join forces!"

"Another one!"

Army Leader Chi remained unfazed and unafraid as he strode forward into the overlapped spiritual territories.

"Die!"

Behind him, the silhouette of the 9 Regions appeared. On top of it, scenes of countless of soldiers battling were depicted. Other than the northern areas, fierce battles could be seen in the eastern, western and southern areas.

Even the overlapped spiritual territories near Chi's body were weakened.

"Chi built up himself through numerous wars. Now that the 9 Regions are in war, he is conforming to the heavenly trend!"

Green Wood's expression turned solemn and he spoke to Xi Chen, "Elder Xi Chen, it's time to use our all!"

"That's right!"

After Xi Chen agreed, all the giant trees in the spiritual territory opened their eyes and transformed into giant battle tree men. Faeries that resembled fire phoenixes also appeared and they formed a large army that charged towards Chi.

These were all faeries actualised by the two powerful beings during their spare time. They were meticulously trained and their power was comparable to Illusionary Divine dream masters. Furthermore, they could travel out of the spiritual territory alone to fight as they had their own foundation and elemental energy.

However, they were willing to sacrifice all of them now just to deplete some of Chi's strength.

As Army Leader Chi had resurrected and was boosted by the realm's war energy, even though the two powerful beings joined hands, they did not know how to defeat him.

...

At another area of the battle, the Torch Dragon was fighting against the 6 Headed Fiery Dragon. Jiu Yinzi then sneered, "Hehe... can't believe they sent three elders here! Your Realm Alliance doesn't care about or want the other realms or even Da Qian anymore?"

There were only 7 powerful being elders in the Realm Alliance. They were putting all their eggs in the same basket by sending almost half of them here!

"Three elders?!"

Far away, Fang Yuan had a similar reaction.

As there were three dream masters at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine here, it was no wonder Xi Chen was so confident.

With their power, even though army leader Chi resurrected, they could still defeat him!

"Just that..."

A curious look appeared on Fang Yuan's face as he thought, "I don't think the Hidden Dragon Guards have fully revealed all their hidden cards up their sleeve!"

When Fang Yuan killed Wu Zhiqi last time, Wu Zhiqi purposefully hid something. As the Hidden Dragon Guards had yet to utilise it now, Fang Yuan immediately knew they still had some tricks up their sleeve.

"It is too dangerous for me to go to the epicentre of the battle now... Why don't I..."

The corner of Fang Yuan's eyes glistened and he turned into a gust of wind immediately that floated out of Yang City.

...

Deep in the mountains, a loud bang was heard suddenly.

A black coloured head fell from the sky and smashed the ground violently, forming a small crater.

However, although the head was severed, there was no blood flowing from it. It was extremely strange.

"Huu..."

Moments later, it even opened its eyes.

"I am not Chi, I am Xing!"

"By sacrificing my body and my blood, I resurrected the mighty ancestor, Chi! This is enough..., I should now think for myself! Witchcraft divine technique, Revival Technique!"

A bloody glow shined from his eyes and large amounts of blood flowed down his neck which slowly formed the shape of a human. Bones, blood vessels and muscles appeared one by one.

Lastly, a gust of black air floated over and engulfed him.

Moments later, a deity-like man with a body that glowed like jade walked out of the crater. It kept caressing its face and body while exclaiming, "Great! Although I sacrificed my flesh body, I inherited Chi's legacy! It was not in vain... Just that it's such a pity, this witchcraft divine technique was created by the Army Leader years after his death from all his grievances. Else, he could have recovered his Divine Body back then and fought for the world with Gu!"

At that moment, he closed his eyes slightly and furrowed his brows, "I have lost half its divine techniques and strength. Based on Army Leader's instructions, I need to leave immediately with the seeds of Jiuli Division to preserve our last remaining bloodline!"

Xing touched the area between his eyebrows and a red line could be partly felt.

That was the witch's vital blood, it was a gift from Chi.

Although Xing was weak now, he only needed some time before he could fully recover.

"Army Leader... you have to win!"

As Xing gazed towards Yang City, tears flowed down his face.

Suddenly, he turned around. His eyes glared viciously as he shouted, "Who's that?"
