c1627: 1665: Arrival of the Demon Venerable

What angers and saddens the Central Earth people is.

Among the Ten Sins of Central Earth, the mysterious Inferior Sage has two black monuments.

Amazingly, it’s the Second Calamity Sage Realm, comparable to Taicang State’s Great Wine Sacrifice!

The reason he was able to ascend was by absorbing enough hatred from Central Earth.

It means that a thousand years ago he committed a heinous act that incited both human and divine fury in Central Earth.

Advancing further for the sages of Central Earth is extremely difficult, yet it’s easy for a traitor.

Isn’t this a satire?

Including them, there are as many as eighteen on the Giant Emperor’s side!

Their auras are restrained, not deliberately released, yet even so, the space continues to warp.

Once the great battle begins, just their aura alone could tear vast expanses of the void.

The majestic ninety-zhang figure of the Central Tribe Emperor overlooks the Central Earth powerhouses opposite.

He crosses his arms over his chest, vertical eyes arrogantly gazing, speaking indifferently:

"Has Central Earth no more sages?"

His substantial gaze sweeps across, leaving faint cracks in the void.

Tianluo Sage, Wan Yun Sage, Compassionate Sage, and Red-Faced Sage are all forced into their physical forms.

Dazzling golden light shines on their faces, fully exposing their grave expressions.

Four against eighteen.

How can this battle be fought?

A suffocating feeling makes it hard for them to breathe.

The head of the Ten Sins of Central Earth, the Second Calamity Sage Realm, leans on a cane, speaking lightly:

"Is Central Earth so downfallen after a millennium?"

"Truly disappointing."

Rage burns in Wan Yun Sage’s eyes: "You still have the face to stand out?"

"A thousand years ago, victory for Central Earth was within sight, yet your betrayal among the Ten Sins led to our great defeat!"

"I hate that I wasn’t born a thousand years earlier to annihilate you all one by one!"

Tianluo Sage’s already small eyes narrow into slits:

"Your Second Calamity Realm cultivation was gained by personally killing the Beixuan Sword Master and absorbing Central Earth’s hatred, wasn’t it?"

"Now, do you Ten Sins desire to rekindle Central Earth’s hatred towards you, hoping to recapture a breakthrough?"

What?

He is one of the traitors who attacked the Beixuan Sword Master?

And personally killed the Beixuan Sword Master?

Killing intent flickers in Jiang Fan’s eyes as he looks at the cane in his hand.

That is a cane entwined with grass vines, yet inside it lies a sword with terrifying pressure, a Quasi-Realm Artifact Sword!

What makes Jiang Fan clench his fist is.

The Tingxue Sword Artifact Spirit within him reacted somewhat when this Inferior Sage appeared!

Could it be that the sword in his hand was once one of the Nine Swords of Beixuan Sword Master?

Legend has it that the other swords were all destroyed, but there’s no record of their whereabouts.

Since this person personally killed the Beixuan Sword Master, taking a relatively intact one back to the Heavenly Realm for repair and nurturing it into a Quasi-Realm Artifact Sword is entirely possible.

That damned thing!

The eyes beneath the black hat of the Second Calamity Inferior Sage observe them indifferently, without any emotional fluctuation, his hoarse voice full of apathy:

"Heaven creates all things to nourish mankind, but man has nothing to repay Heaven."

"Humans are inherently selfish and self-serving creatures."

"So-called nobility is merely a mask for hypocrites who dare not confront their selfish and ugly nature."

"You are no better than me."

"At least I dare to face my true nature."

The statement makes the Central Earth crowd laugh in anger.

How shameless to paint himself in such a light!

Jiang Fan scoffs: "Such lowly and misleading fallacies come from the mouth of a Virtuous Realm?"

"Have you no face in dressing yourself up?"

"Didn’t you see the sages of a thousand years ago sacrificing themselves to save the world?"
