Chapter 1257: The Great Heaven’s Chosen of the Human Race

An uproar rang out in the holy city. The eyes of those Flame Moon cultivators who had challenged Xu Qing flashed but they didn’t act rashly.

To some of them, the value of the challenge wasn’t to truly fight but to gain reputation.

Previously, these cultivators only chose to follow the crowd when they saw that Xu Qing didn’t accept the challenges and there were unseen forces at play behind the scenes that were encouraging them. As for now… they had no intention of taking action.

Their only thought was to watch the show.

However, there were some Flame Moon cultivators who sincerely wanted to challenge Xu Qing. They couldn’t accept that a human was defeating them.

This feeling of humiliation made them extremely angry.

Such cultivators often had a certain number of trump cards and were confident in themselves. Even though they had heard of Xu Qing’s battle results and the death of Prince Mingnan…

For them, the meaning of life was not reflected in its length, but in its brightness.

Compared to a long but mediocre life, they desired brilliance and glory, even if it was just for a moment. That’s what made life worthwhile for them.

The Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race was a valiant and a terrifying race.

Hence, at the next instant, dozens of Flame Moon cultivators rose into the air, revealing the cultivation base of the first stage Nihility, heading straight towards the outskirts of the city.

Their powerful innate physical strength transformed into qi and blood energy.

This caused the sky to change color and Dao marks appeared in the surroundings. After gathering the power of these dozens of cultivators, the sky rippled as though an invisible large hand was descending from it to suppress Xu Qing.

It wanted to connect to the red glow on Xu Qing’s body and directly destroy him.

Flame Moon’s foundation could be somewhat seen from this.

In the remote regions of the human race, Nihility cultivators were already overlords. However, in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, they were only outstanding talents.

At that moment, these dozens of first stage Nihility cultivators tore through the sky with the intent of extermination and suppression, stirring up sharp rumbling sounds. The moment they rushed out of the city, they directly headed straight for Xu Qing.

In the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, even if it was a challenge, they wouldn’t restrict it to being one-on-one. In the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven’s understanding, experts… didn’t appear in one-on-one battles.

A true expert who could truly make others convinced was a cultivator who could fight against a hundred and a thousand alone, displaying supreme domineeringness that suppressed his peers.

Only such a cultivator would be recognized as a heaven’s chosen in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.

Hence, they didn’t hesitate at all. The Dao marks in the sky seemed to come alive and transformed into silver and golden dragons that roared in all directions.

There were also dozens of extraordinary magic treasures, including sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. They followed the Dao marks along with the eruption of the divine abilities and physical strength of these cultivators.

The laws collapsed and the rules dimmed here. The wind, rain, and lightning intertwined chaotically. The world seemed to experience rapid changes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Xu Qing lifted his head. There was a cold glint in his eyes. He could sense the blurry laws in the surroundings and the feeling of being squeezed from everywhere.

He also felt the feeling of being restricted.

This was the feeling brought about by the rejection of his Heavenly Dao here. It was also a sign that the enemy’s Heavenly Dao had replaced everything.

However, it didn’t matter. Since the changes in the four seasons here were chaotic and the power of nature was chaotic, then… if he was strong, even the mountain winds and waves wouldn’t be able to shake him at all.

At the next instant, millions of soul threads erupted from Xu Qing’s body and rapidly gathered behind him. The first G.o.d form appeared, followed by the second G.o.d form, and then the third G.o.d form.

Xu Qing didn’t plan to delay or give the enemy a chance to counterattack. Hence, the moment he attacked, he used crus.h.i.+ng power.

This was his habit.

In an instant, the third G.o.d form emitted a terrifying energy. The power of the Poison Restriction erupted and the power of the Purple Moon rose. The blood around him seemed to cheer in joy and the world turned red.

It was like a red glow had landed on the ground, enveloping the surroundings and blocking all detection.

Many gazes and wisps of divine sense had spread over from the three holy cities. There were even some who flew to the air to observe.

Although they couldn’t see what was going on inside the red glow, they could roughly sense it through the fluctuations.

Among them, there were those who were watching the show and those who were preparing to attack. They were all observing Xu Qing’s true combat strength.

However, most of their expressions were calm. Regardless of whether it was their expressions or their hearts, they didn’t feel much waves.

This was because they were from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.

This was because they were one of the super races in the w.a.n.ggu Continent.

This was because they, who were under the three G.o.ds, were high and mighty in the vast majority of regions in this world. Every time they started a race hunt, countless races would tremble in fear.

The dignity brought by their race and their pride made them not care about the lower races.

Xu Qing was only special because he had obtained the first place in the Grand Hunt and due to his battle results here.

However… ten breaths later, this calmness changed to varying degrees as heart-rending sounds rang out from the red barrier.

At the next moment, two Flame Moon cultivators rushed out of the red glow. Their expressions were filled with horror as they attempted to escape at full speed. However, one of them didn’t manage to rush far before the red light behind him moved.

Countless blood tentacles connected with soul threads rushed over and caught up to him, not giving him any chance to struggle. They instantly coiled around him and penetrated his flesh.

They then pulled.

The Flame Moon cultivator’s eyes revealed despair as he was directly dragged into the red glow. After that, another heart-rending scream rang out.

As for the other escapee, his expression was also filled with horror as he headed straight for the holy city.

As long as he stepped in, he would be able to survive. After all, no one was allowed to attack in the holy city.

However, when he was only 100 feet away from the holy city, his body suddenly paused. The horrified expression on his face was replaced by a bizarre smile.

However, the terror in his eyes was even more intense.

Immediately after, he lifted his hands and held his neck, squeezing fiercely. A cracking sound echoed as his head spun around. After that, his cultivation base burned and he died from spontaneous combustion.

At the same time, a loud sound rang out from the red glow as it shattered. It was swept away by the fluctuations erupting from inside, revealing the corpses that were rapidly rotting and dissipating on the ground.

There was also the figure of the G.o.d standing there. Its entire body was covered in a monstrous blood light, It had countless blood tentacles, and It was surrounded by a blood lake.

It calmly looked at the holy city.

The expressions of the Flame Moon cultivators in the three holy cities turned solemn. They stared at that figure and their hearts stirred.

This emotional upheaval came from the deaths of dozens of their fellow clansmen, but the even greater source was… Xu Qing’s calmness.

From the start to the end, he didn’t say a word. He just stood there and looked at the holy city.

Vaguely, a domineering aura seemed to have appeared on his body.

Even some of the older generation of Flame Moon’s cultivators felt their hearts fluctuating.

“The great heaven’s chosen of the human race…

The human race was once the strongest race in the w.a.n.ggu Continent!

But they were declining, with each generation worse than the last. However, there would still occasionally be resplendent light s.h.i.+ning from it that reflected in the memories of these older generation cultivators of Flame Moon.

The dozens of heaven’s chosens from the Flame Moon Races recorded in the Eldest Prince’s second jade slip were also in the holy cities.

However, at this moment, no one chose to attack.

Just as Xu Qing had thought, their target was the mounts in the second segment. This could increase their combat strength and allow them to obtain greater gains in the third segment.

During this period of time, everything they did had to be worth it. If they chose to fight to the death with Xu Qing, regardless of the outcome, they would definitely suffer injuries. If they missed the subsequent Grand Hunt segments because of this, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.

Hence, in their respective cave abodes, they only sensed the situation before retracting their divine senses.

The few great heaven’s chosens whom the Eldest Prince had emphasized to Xu Qing were among them.

At that moment, in Star Flame Holy City, on a luxurious tower, a cold-looking youth sat cross-legged.

On his lap was a black heavy sword, emitting a strong smell of blood.

He wore a black robe and had long hair. Tattoos of the Flame Moon Race spread throughout his body, including his face. As they flickered, a terrifying energy spread.

His body was already extraordinary and holy. It was even harder to sense the specifics of his cultivation base. Only the aura emitted by his body determined that he was at the level of Perfected Nihility Realm.

This person was none other than the fourth among the Flame Moon Race’s heaven’s chosens, Tian Mozi.

That dense tattoos and heavy sword were his characteristics.

His gaze also landed outside the city. He had heard of Xu Qing and knew of his battle results. He also knew who had a hand in the recent situation.

However, he wasn’t willing to partic.i.p.ate and fight. It was no longer his path.

What he wanted was the blood in the Divine Realm.

Hence, he only glanced at it before retracting his gaze and ignoring it.

At the same time, in a tavern within the Moon Flame Holy City, there sat a young man dressed in a blue robe, resembling a human scholar. His attire and even his gentle appearance bore a resemblance to those of the human race. He was engaged in cheerful conversation with two Flame Moon female cultivators seated across from him.

“What do you guys think of that human?”

I’ve heard that he’s a little interesting.”

The youth smiled as he tasted the dishes.

The two female cultivators opposite him had sweet smiles and their appearances were also human-like. However, their skin color wasn’t normal and their expressions didn’t change at all. They didn’t even move.

Inside the tavern, there were numerous other patrons, seemingly creating a lively atmosphere at first glance. However, all of the patrons remained completely still, frozen in various poses.

Nearby, the innkeeper appeared to be shouting, while a waiter was about to ascend the staircase.

Upon closer inspection, it became evident that none of the individuals present were living beings; they were all puppets crafted from jade.

In the entire tavern, only the youth was alive.

In the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, there was someone who especially liked such puppets.

That was the third among the Flame Moon’s heavens chosens… Fan s.h.i.+shuang.

As he muttered to himself, he nodded slightly.

“You guys are right. His gaze is indeed a little like your kind.”

“Then, do you think 1 should let him join you?”
