The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 730: War of the Gods

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The Spirit Race heaven-illuminator, known as the Spirit Ancestor, had experienced the era during which the Divine Blood Banner dominated the world. Back then, the Divine Blood Banner’s might was extremely grand and entirely unmatched!

In the end, the Ten Greats could no longer sit still. They came together to suppress this peerless treasure and disassembled it, preventing the terrifying killer weapon to appear in this world.

Now, this ancestor had come into being. Back then, although it wasn’t him who had controlled this notorious banner, he was still a fierce character who had hunted down Yaoyao’s father.

He had just shown his face when he announced that he would work with the Great Deity to take down Yaoyao’s grandfather. He wanted to root out earth’s last “fortune”.

In the end, he was nearly flipped over. He felt a great pain to his back, his bones were all broken, and his spine was severed. One could well imagine just how powerful the Star-Studded Whip was.

The Sagemaster had borrowed the might of this weapon to herd the stars, lay down his domains, and set up killer traps. Even heaven-illuminator level characters could do nothing against him back in the day.

Let alone that, the Sagemaster himself had already stepped into this realm today.

Especially this time, he had taken the first critical step and was standing firmly in the realm. His vitality was no longer weak as before because he had obtained a life-preserving item in the broken cosmos of the primal chaos.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, within the time it took for a spark to fly off the flint. From the moment the Spirit Ancestor had his back lacerated and was sent staggering up until now, everything had happened in a continuous stream and was still happening.

Swoosh!

The Sagemaster almost didn’t stop. He vanished once more and appeared behind the Spirit Ancestor with a bang. Before the latter could turn about, the Star-Studded Whip lashed out once more.

What kind of character was the Spirit Ancestor? He had traversed numerous eras throughout the long years and possessed incomparably sharp divine senses. He immediately controlled law runes to protect himself.

However, the Sagemaster’s backup plan didn’t stop here. Hehad used the Star-Studded Whip to set up domains and lay down a killing scheme.

One could see that the stars in all the heavens were gathering radiance with the Big Dipper akin to the ocean eye. After drawing upon the boundless power of starlight, a powerful radiant attack blasted past the dipper handle.

This was just one group of planets. At this moment, there was starlight spreading through many different regions. In a certain place, the river of stars had formed a large bow which fired a beam of energy at this place.

This kind of domain method was destined to shake the world!

Although a bunch of starlight wasn’t enough to hurt a character of this level, but the boundless power of many sources combined was quite frightening.

The Star Studded whip arrived just as the Spirit Ancestor’s protective barrier was broken through.

Pfft!

As his blood sprayed out in all directions, the Spirit Ancestor staggered back with a muffled groan. The Star-Studded Whip was lashing repeatedly onto his body—this scene was practically unbelievable!

The Spirit Ancestor was actually being beaten up!

In the starlight-filled battlefield that was the vast skies, the planets themselves had been turned into weapons. Some of them formed long spears, some turned into dazzling beams of light, while others assumed the shape of a heavenly blade tearing through the skies. Some of the planets pressed down like a great furnace!

The boundless stars had turned into magnetic stones to make up domains, firing all kinds of energies and weapons that blasted forth. This kind of majestic scene petrified all the outer realm people and sent a chill down their spine.

This was especially true for the Spirit Ancestor. He had been ambushed and immediately fell into a disadvantage. Then, he was suppressed without the opportunity to retaliate!

This was the first net the Sagemaster had cast after his return. It locked down the Spirit Ancestor and nearly killed him on the spot.

One could very well imagine the ancestor’s mood⁠—he was practically cursing right now!

He was really too passive, being beaten up one-sidedly in another’s domain.

He wasn’t a masochist, but now his bones and tendons had been severed, his back was almost broken, and his flesh was a bloody mess.

He was frantic—it was preposterous!

Additionally, he was furious at how all plans had fallen through. They had mobilized with great fanfare to surround and block off the Sagemaster. Yet, the other party had snuck behind them and launched an ambush.

They had prepared a heaven-illuminator level heaven’s eye and even the Fiery Eyes left behind since ancient times. This should’ve been enough to see through the primal chaos and immediately sense the Sagemaster’s whereabouts.

Yet, he had arrived right before their eyes.

Pfft!

The Spirit Ancestor was furious as he waved the blood-colored banner in his hand. He could finally move now, but to his sorrow, he found that all his bones had been broken, including his back.

That Star-Studded Whip was too powerful now that the Sagemaster was at the Heaven-Illuminator realm!

“Boom!”

Fortunately, Wei Xilin moved at the critical moment. The captain of the Xilin Clan who had betrayed earth back in the year had risen to power and become a powerhouse today.

He broke down all the starry spears with a wave of his hand, interrupting the Sagemaster’s domains.

The Spirit Ancestor took advantage of this opportunity to break away, drenched in cold sweat. He had nearly been killed in the ambush? This was too terrifying. He quickly reassembled his broken body as divine blood flowed back in reverse.

He didn’t dare imagine what would have happened if Wei Xilin hadn’t taken action. Could the Sagemaster have killed him with the help of his domains?

“Wei Xilin!” The Sagemaster glanced at this brother of the past who was his nemesis today.

Wei Xilin, back in the year, led a massive army. He was wild, arrogant, and untamed. In the end, it was his ambition and betrayal that had led to the bloody disaster.

He had defected on the eve of battle, allowing the enemy army to enter unchallenged and showing no mercy in killing his kin. Many races were completely wiped out that day!

Today, he was the leader of his own tribe known as the Xilin clan. Back then, the top genius of earth, Wei Heng, a man praised as ninth under the heavens, had also followed them.

“Brother Yichen.” Wei Xilin smiled coldly as he cupped his fist from afar, an invisible but shocking aura spreading out from him.

One had to admit that this man was a genius. He had kept his skills well hidden back then, but he became a heaven-illuminator later on. He had progressed much faster and fiercer than those peerless heaven-bestowed geniuses.

The Sagemaster was a calm person. He showed no fluctuation in his heart, but his pale face turned increasingly pale. His two sworn brothers, both heaven-illuminators, had died such miserable deaths back then.

The Sagemaster could do nothing to change earth’s destruction and bloodshed, but he couldn’t forgive this traitor who had stabbed his people in the back at the critical moment. He felt pained for the deceased every time he recalled these matters.

The Sagemaster raised his Star-Studded Whip and pointed it at Wei Xilin. He felt somewhat stifled upon facing this enemy whom he had once drank with and called brother.

“Brother Yichen, how are you? It’s not like we have to fight to the death on sight.” Wei Xilin smiled faintly.

Boom!

However, the Sagemaster had taken action. He knew that Wei Xilin was arrogant but not reckless. As a cautious person, he was definitely trying to stall for time and await reinforcements.

This lineup couldn’t be all of them. There were surely other people around because they had invested deeply in order to trap the Sagemaster.

The Spirit Ancestor was trying to tear through space because he had discovered that the Sagemaster was targeting him.

He really didn’t want to fall into the domains again and get beaten up. That feeling was simply too uncomfortable and dangerous.

“Heh, heh...”

All of a sudden someone laughed coldly. A giant metallic man appeared and stood shoulder to shoulder with Wei Xilin. His head was touching the sun, moon, and stars, while his eyes were even more majestic than a planet.

This was a metallic man, the ancestor of the machine race known as the Eternal Vajra!

He had also come to help Wei Xilin suppress the Sagemaster Yichen’s domain energies. He stood there with a faint smile, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Why aren’t you all attacking!?”

The Great Deity screamed at this moment. He was frightened out of his wits because his arms had been eaten by Yaoyao’s grandfather while his body had been locked down by the mother of all gold lock. There was no way for him to flee.

All he could do was watch as his body was being gobbled up. His flood dragon claws and arms had vanished, replaced by a bloody mess. Any ordinary person would’ve collapsed by now.

Yaoyao was as beautiful and perfect as an immortal. Her white robes fluttered in the wind as she stood in the copper coffin, on the verge of tears and calling out to her grandpa.

She wasn’t a soft-hearted person. After that ancient battle, she had suffered the tragedy of her family falling apart and all of her relatives dying in battle. Even her fiance had left her for dead, but she never cried during those situations!

She was calm and collected when she recounted the past story to Chu Feng. She was even smiling in a natural manner.

But today, she saw her grandpa covered in corpse hair, and this shook her heart. She knew her grandfather had his reasons for not joining the battle back then. Now that the old man was screaming like a beast and fighting whilst crying tears of blood—all of this was to avenge them.

So Yaoyao cried. She finally couldn’t hold back after seeing a family member.

At this moment, the old man who was devouring the Great Deity looked up all of a sudden. His eyes were as red as a bloody moon, but they became gentle upon seeing Yaoyao.

This was a familial affection that couldn’t be severed, and this gradually woke him up.

“Yao... yao!”

In the end, he let out a murky voice and called out her name!

“My... Yaoyao!” The old man cried, and bloody tears flowed out once again from his eyes. There was a conflict in the depths of his heart, but he couldn’t control his body.

His subconsciousness had recognized Yaoyao, but his sharp eyes knew that she was but a mirage. That was why he had cried.

“Yaoyao... my granddaughter. I want you back.” In the end, this old corpse demon actually became gentle for a moment and spoke thus.

“Grandpa!” Yaoyao was sobbing.

In the end, Wei Xilin’s voice arrived. “Uncle, long time no see. You’ve actually fallen to such a state.”

Wei Xilin spoke calmly with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He and the Eternal Vajra had fought one round with the Sagemaster. He was now quite confident because some old monsters had arrived behind him.

Doubtlessly, Wei Xilin’s voice agitated Yaoyao’s grandfather. The old man roared at the sky, much like a demon who had charged out of hell. He was extremely angry and filled with boundless sorrow.

He had lost control once again.

“Yaoyao, good grandchild. Grandpa... will revive you even if he dies.”

Yaoyao’s grandfather’s will surged at the last moment. He growled like a wild animal and uttered some unclear words.

“Kill, I want you all dead!”

Yaoyao’s grandfather raored. The sanguineous color in his eyes became hollow as he erupted with unlimited power.

“Uncle, don’t get too excited,” Wei Xilin said with a calm smile, agitating the man once more.

“Wei Xilin, you deserve death!” The mild-mannered Sagemaster was cursing at this point. It was obvious just how furious he was.

“Ah...”

The Great Deity cried out in misery. He wanted to curse out loud because the one who had to suffer in the end was him. Yaoyao’s grandfather was chewing on him even as he charged forth to fight the enemies.

All of a sudden, Yaoyao’s grandfather vanished. Even the heaven-illuminator experts were surprised because this wasn’t normal. Those law runes were blinking on and off in an unfathomable manner. This was simply too eerie.

In the end, an explosive boom resounded and Wei Xilin became drenched in blood. He screamed miserably as he was punched right through and sent flying. Yaoyao’s grandfather had actually appeared beside him and penetrated his body amidst a shower of blood!
