HUM!
In the Crystal Miniature World, within the ancestral land of the Athyst Clan.
The dark Void was filled with the scent of blood and roiling crimson Evil Qi, seemingly harboring countless demons and spirits, their resentful roars echoing ominously. Ripples disturbed the Void, followed by the manifestation of a giant, pale gold Star Gate.
A towering figure stepped out from the Star Gate. Imdiately, an overwhelming surge of his presence spread to all corners, shaking heaven and earth. The surrounding void shattered, completely annihilated, and turned to dust.
This figure was dressed in a purple robe that emitted a radiant glow, making him appear as if carved from crystal. He was aristocratic and noble, with long limbs and sharp claws that glead with an icy light. An aura of destruction swirled around him, potent enough to tear anything apart.
He was the grandson of the Athyst Clan Leader. He bore a pleasing na: Crystal Sage Jade.
He also happened to be the most monstrous genius of the Crystal Clan, crowned as the Saint Heir at a young age.
Hmm? The sll of blood is so thick!
Returning to his long-lost holand, Crystal Sage Jade's spirits were decent. But after inhaling a breath of his holand's air, his expression changed drastically.
Instantly, the profound power of his soul completely erupted, sweeping across the entire miniature world.
A series of images flashed before him: mountains of skeletal remains and rivers of flowing fresh blood. The once beautiful Crystal Miniature World had now turned into a realm of death.
All dead!
After a mont, Crystal Sage Jade retracted his Soul Power, his expression slack. Two trails of bloody tears stread down his face, his eyes filled with sorrow.
How could this have happened?
"Who was it?" he soon roared, recovering his senses with gritted teeth. "Who did this?"
An imasurable killing intent exploded, almost materializing into a blood pillar that pierced the sky. It shot into the heavens, broke through the world's firmant, and extended into the starfield.
Just a few days ago, he had received a ssage from the Athyst Clan Leader stating that their clan was facing a formidable enemy and was in imminent danger. However, the identity of the enemy was not disclosed. Concerned for his clan's safety, he hadn't asked further questions and had rushed down from the Fifth Heavenly Layer. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
"The residual auras of the All Clans linger in the air. I only need to find one clan and question them to identify the murderer!"
"No matter who it is, for daring to kill my kinsn, I will make them pay tenfold..."
The chilling voice echoed through the world, spreading throughout the surrounding starfields. In the next breath, a beam of blood-colored light shot into the sky. The terrifying force of its eruption smashed the starfield into pieces, creating a gaping hole in its wake.
"Senior, that is how events transpired," in the Forbidden Area of Sky Sword Pavilion, Heavenly Sword Immortal recounted the recent happenings in detail, then looked anxiously at the One-Ard Martial Artist.
"To expel the All Clans... comndable courage. This old man is no match for the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty!" After listening, the One-Ard Martial Artist first offered praise, then his tone shifted to criticism. "But the actions were too reckless. If the Crystal Clan retaliates, the Qin Celestial Court will be dood!"
Hearing this, Heavenly Sword Immortal felt an icy chill. Could it be that the One-Ard Martial Artist doesn't plan to initiate the Assistance Plan?
To elaborate, the Assistance Plan consisted of two main points. The first point concerned factions: any Human Clan faction in jeopardy would receive the utmost assistance from neighboring Human Clan factions. The second point pertained to individuals: it prioritized the protection of Human Clan prodigies at risk, even at the cost of sacrificing other Human Clan mbers.
"Senior, the Qin Dynasty has remarkable potential and nurous prodigies, satisfying the requirents of the Assistance Plan!" Heavenly Sword Immortal fell to his knees, pleading.
He could not stand idly by and watch the downfall of the Qin Dynasty. He had a premonition that if the Qin Dynasty were allowed to grow, it would undoubtedly beco the backbone of the Human Clan, capable of supporting its future.
"What's the hurry?" The One-Ard Martial Artist glanced at Heavenly Sword Immortal and asked curiously, "What potion has the Qin Celestial Court given you to make you value it so heavily?"
In his mory, he had t Heavenly Sword Immortal three tis. Apart from the first ti, which concerned Hongyi, the other two were related to the Qin Celestial Court.
"Because, in the Qin Celestial Court, your junior sees hope!" Heavenly Sword Immortal looked up, eting the One-Ard Martial Artist's gaze directly, and said solemnly.
"Hope!" The One-Ard Martial Artist murmured the word, his eyes shining brightly. The Human Clan has been suppressed by the All Clans, struggling to advance, yet they have never given up. Is it not because of hope?
Recently, the Ziwei Star of the Human Clan had appeared!
The hope had grown even stronger!
"Go back and await good news." After saying this, the One-Ard Martial Artist's figure gradually faded until it completely disappeared.
"Thank you, Senior!" Heavenly Sword Immortal knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. His emotions were complex; amidst his joy, there was a touch of gravity.
He knew the Assistance Plan had been initiated.
Before long, the Human Clan in the Fifth Heavenly Layer would declare war on the Crystal Clan. Whether they won or lost, they would have to pay a huge price.
「The Fifth Heavenly Layer.」
「The Guiyuan Middle Thousand World.」
The Guiyuan Sect, the most powerful Human Clan force in the Fifth Heavenly Layer, resided in this world. Among the sprawling architectural complex, immortal lights intertwined and the Power of Laws surged. Countless terrifying auras lay hidden, potent enough to shake the heavens if unleashed.
In the Sect Master's Hall, Guiyuan Sect Master Lin Tianyi sat on a chair, his sword-like brows furrowed, burdened by seemingly insolvable worries. He had far too many troubles.
The most troubleso was the ergence of a Saint Heir in the Crystal Clan with top-tier talent, who had broken through to the peak of the Taiyi Earth Immortal realm in just three thousand years. In contrast, the most outstanding disciple in the Guiyuan Sect had taken a full ten thousand years to reach the sa peak.
That was a difference of seven thousand years! Perhaps in another seven thousand years, the Crystal Clan's prodigy would have already broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
Hmm? The Forbidden Area's call!
Suddenly, Lin Tianyi sensed a mysterious force. His brows lifted slightly, and he transford into a golden streak of light, flying towards the Forbidden Area.
As the leader of a top power in the Fifth Heavenly Layer, Lin Tianyi's strength was naturally formidable, having reached the mid-stage Golden Immortal Realm. In just a few breaths, he entered the Forbidden Area. Similar to the Forbidden Area of Sky Sword Pavilion, it was protected by countless layers of formations, all safeguarding an ancient altar.
Above the altar, the One-Ard Martial Artist stood suspended in the air, his body solid, his Rhys in Dao flowing freely.
"Greetings, Elder Zhan!" Lin Tianyi was montarily startled upon seeing the One-Ard Martial Artist, then hurriedly saluted, his eyes filled with reverence. "To what do we owe the honor of your presence, Elder? What instructions do you have?"
His expression was like that of an ordinary soldier gazing upon a victorious Great General, like a common citizen beholding a king who founded a sacred dynasty, or like a devout believer witnessing their True God.
Heavenly Sword Immortal's own cultivation was limited, so he only knew that the One-Ard Martial Artist was an elder of the Ancestor Hall; he did not know the man's true identity.
But I knew!
The One-Ard Martial Artist was one of the ten great protectors of the Human Clan. However, during a major battle, he was besieged by powerful experts from the All Clans, and his arm was severed. He had no choice but to retreat from the front lines and beco an ordinary elder of the Ancestor Hall.
"This old one asks you, can you still fight?" the One-Ard Martial Artist asked directly, wasting no words.
"Replying to Elder, I can!" Lin Tianyi stood ramrod straight, answering without hesitation.
"By the decree of the Ancestor Hall, the Guiyuan Sect shall lead the Human Clan in the Fifth Heavenly Layer to declare war on the Crystal Clan!" the One-Ard Martial Artist commanded loudly, his voice clear and powerful.
It was as if one could envision a great general, like those of golden lances and iron-clad steeds, whose spirit could swallow mountains and rivers, dominating the myriad heavens as he issued commands.
