The Eighth Heaven!
Inside the Ancestor Hall, fourteen of the Human Clan's strongest experts were gazing at a profound mirror, a deathly silence falling over them.
"Heavenly Formation Emperor, in the Dao of Formations, is it possible for a sixth-level Array Master to defeat a seventh-level Array Dao Master?" After a mont, the Ancestor deactivated the profound mirror, cald his mind, and asked with curiosity.
Perhaps Zuo Ci's battle with Elder Ming seed like child's play in his eyes, devoid of any noteworthy skill, yet its implications were extraordinary.
"Impossible!"
"From the Ancient Era until now, there has never been a precedent of a sixth-level Array Master defeating a seventh-level Array Dao Master!"
"If he is allowed to mature, the Dao of Formations will see the Human Clan reign supre!"
The Heavenly Formation Emperor was an elderly man with white hair yet a youthful complexion. Rhys of Dao circulated around him, and countless formation patterns were faintly visible weaving about his body. He exuded a terrifying aura, like a walking super-Formation.
He was the strongest Array Master of the Human Clan.
Having risen during the Dark Era, he once single-handedly deployed a colossal formation to slay dozens of Immortal Kings from All Clans. Since then, his na resounded across all realms, earning him the epithet Heavenly Formation.
Heavenly Formation!
A formation of the heavens!
It ant a formation that no living being could solve!
It was no exaggeration to say that his understanding of the Dao of Formations ranked among the top three in all realms.
Yet, even he wore a solemn expression after witnessing Zuo Ci's 'Ten Thousand Formations Technique' and gave it the highest praise.
The Ancestor, the Three Emperors, and the nine clan protectors were all shaken, their hearts filled with shock. The Heavenly Formation Emperor's assessnt was simply too high!
The Dao of Formations, with the Human Clan at its zenith!
If this could truly be achieved, Zuo Ci alone would be enough to eliminate the adverse effects of the Supre Emperor's rebellion.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, the Ancestor's brow furrowed as if sensing sothing. He directly tore through the Void and descended into the Seventh Heaven, roaring in anger, "Emperor Tian, you court death!"
A terrifying immortal might erupted without reservation, causing the starry do to tremble.
His gaze fixed on a certain part of the starry sky, unleashing two golden beams that pierced through all things. Wherever his gaze fell, immortal energy retreated, the Power of Laws submitted, and the Dao's principles recoiled.
"Hmph!"
In the boundless Star River, Emperor Tian's figure materialized, countless threads of the Power of Laws manifesting beneath his feet. His supre imperial might, like that of the paramount sovereign of all emperors, compelled everything under the heavens to submit.
In his palm, an indescribable power converged and then struck out violently.
The starry sky dimd!
An infinitely long and boundlessly wide palm print erged, resplendent with imperial majesty, causing the endless starry sky to explode and the eight desolates and six harmonies to prostrate.
Within the Seventh Heaven, all living beings trembled, uncontrollably kneeling and shivering. Even Immortal King Realm experts, renowned as the kings of myriad immortals, revealed looks of horror, their forms faltering.
BOOM!
The palm print descended, striking the golden light.
The surrounding stars instantly exploded, worlds collapsed, and the Star Sea dimd. Everything within tens of light-years was shattered. The Star River was annihilated into ash, leaving nothing behind.
As star after star shattered, an untold number of beings perished in the clash between the Ancestor and Emperor Tian.
"I am unwilling!"
"Why must other races be implicated in the war between your Human Clan and All Clans?"
In the battle's aftermath, a faction lorded over by an Immortal King—a dominant power even in the Seventh Heaven—was obliterated by the shockwaves.
The Immortal King's cry, laced with blood and despair, echoed through the Starfield, a final, haunting sound that struck terror into the hearts of billions of factions.
"Quickly, activate the formations!"
"Otherwise, today will be our doom!"
"The Human Clan's Ancestor and the Lord of All Clans are fighting again! Is a great catastrophe about to sweep through all realms?"
"When will the struggles between these two races ever end!"
Cries of alarm rang out one after another.
From the Sky-Breaking Era to the Dark Era, and then to the Torch Era, the conflict between the Human Clan and All Clans had spanned three eras.
Yet, when these two races fought, it was always these uninvolved factions that suffered!
"Ancestor, you can protect Great Qin for a ti, but not for an eternity!"
"The Great Qin Heavenly Court will, sooner or later, be annihilated by All Clans, and the Human Clan will also beco dust in the annals of history!"
After an unknown period, Emperor Tian's figure dissipated, but his dignified voice, seething with endless fury, echoed in the Ancestor's ears.
"This Ancestor will be waiting!"
The Ancestor's gaze turned frigid, yet he made no move. After Emperor Tian departed, he too vanished.
The starry sky returned to tranquility. Only then did the kneeling beings slowly rise. Gazing up at the starry sky toward the site of the battle, they discovered that at least a dozen Major Worlds had vanished without a trace.
This discovery plunged the already terrified experts into even deeper dismay.
「The Fourth Heaven.」
It had completely descended into chaos and warfare.
The mbers of All Clans, usually so arrogant and domineering, now began a life on the run.
The fifteen legions of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, using the Ice Wing Clan's territory as their center, fanned out in all directions, crushing all forces of All Clans in their path.
Many powerful clans among All Clans, upon receiving news of the Ice Wing Clan's annihilation, imdiately began to migrate, scattering their mbers in an attempt to preserve their bloodlines.
But it was a case of 'when a wall is falling, everyone gives it a push'!
Many races that held grudges against All Clans imdiately dispatched troops to cut off their escape routes.
The Human Clan was the most ruthless among them. Almost all Human Clan forces mobilized; even reclusive experts erged from their mountain retreats to join the fray.
Gradually, after learning of the war report from the Fourth Heaven, the Human Clan forces in the Second and Third Heavens also erupted into large-scale conflict.
Battle cries and beacons of war flared everywhere; the turmoil engulfed every Minor World.
This war raged for five long years! Blood dyed the starry sky crimson.
Since the Sky-Breaking Era, the factions of All Clans within the Minor Worlds had never suffered such a devastating blow.
Only a small fraction of All Clans mbers within these worlds survived the conflict.
As a result, the Human Clan's destiny-luck increased by ten percent!
Correspondingly, the destiny-luck of All Clans diminished by ten percent!
The prestige of the Great Qin Heavenly Court once again resonated among the Human Clan's upper echelons. Even Human Clan factions in the Major Worlds began to regard the Great Qin Heavenly Court with new respect.
The primary reason the Great Qin Heavenly Court ceased its campaigns was the comncent of a grand event within the Human Clan!
Torch Academy had begun its student enrollnt!
Prodigies from countless Human Clan factions were eager, preparing to participate in the academy's entrance examinations.
The sa was true for the Great Qin Heavenly Court.
In the imperial study of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, Heavenly Sword Immortal saluted respectfully. "Your subject, Heavenly Sword Immortal, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
A potent aura surged from him, indicating he had already reached the mid-stage Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm.
"Beloved minister, please rise!" Qin Wudao sat upon the imperial throne and asked with a smile, "We have summoned you today primarily to inquire about Torch Academy."
Heavenly Sword Immortal collected his thoughts and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Torch Academy is the Human Clan's highest institution. Only those of prodigious talent are qualified to participate in the examination, and even then, passing is not guaranteed.
"Torch Academy employs different examination thods for prodigies from various realms!
"Among these, the examinations for prodigies from the Major Worlds are the most challenging, while those for prodigies from the Minor Worlds are the simplest!
"In the Minor Worlds, Torch Academy has established ten examination points on ten separate stars. Only mbers of the Human Clan from the Minor Worlds are eligible to enter..."
