Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1126: Six Thearchs Attacking

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Evil Thearch was already about to unleash his attack but stopped at this instance. Since the Xuan Thearch had already spoken, he had to show the Xuan Thearch some face. Furthermore, the Xuan Thearch had mentioned the Mystic Thearch; if the Evil Thearch destroyed something that the Mystic Thearch had left behind with so many people bearing witness, that would not be good for him.

Jiang Yi held the jade talisman and could hear everything that was being said outside. He gathered his voice and said, “The Mystic Thearch has ordered me to try my best and not be enemies with the Nine Thearch Clans. I hope you all will not force me...”

“Hahaha!”

The Evil Thearch laughed out loud while the North Thearch and the Battle Thearch’s eyes revealed a sliver of amusement. The Evil Thearch laughed coldly and said, “Jiang Yi, who do you think you are? To be enemies of the Nine Thearch Clans? Do you even qualify?”

The Evil Thearch’s words were true. This was also the basis of the Nine Thearch Clans’ influence and power. Not even caring about Jiang Yi—even if the thirteen clans on Sin Island dared to walk out of it, they would immediately be killed. Even if it was Ao Lu from the Endless Deep Sea who tried to lead formidable demons to attack the East Imperial Continent, they would also be eliminated!

Jiang Yi was not yet a Demigod and only possessed the Mystic Divine Palace. Even if he attained the strength of a nine-star martial expert, could he single-handedly go against the Nine Thearch Clans?

Wishful thinking!

The Evil Thearch’s eyes turned and looked at the surroundings. He quickly said lightly, “The Mystic Thearch had left a remnant of his soul in the Mystic Divine Palace; that is something that we all know. Him choosing his successor is also a good thing for the Nine Thearch Clans. If it was someone else, we could even call him the tenth Thearch. What a pity... that the Mystic Thearch did not know you are a spy from Sin Island, that you are on good terms with the demons from the Endless Deep Sea, a traitor to humankind, and a public enemy of humans. Hence, the relics that the Mystic Thearch had left behind cannot be passed to someone like you. You have to die!”

The Evil Thearch was quite scheming, using his words to great effect. He was trying to legitimize his actions as being for the sake of humankind. Furthermore, what the Evil Thearch had said were all true; Jiang Yi could not refute. Jiang Yi was indeed from Sin Island and had good ties with Ao Lu; these were facts that could not be changed.

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed out loud, his voice seemingly coming down from the Nine Heavens, just like a god. He mockingly said, “Evil Thearch, that year, I had intended to come to the East Imperial Continent. How I ended up in Sin Island? You should be very clear, right? I was hunted by your young clan head She Fei and Jian Wuying. I did not have a choice but to go there. As for Ao Lu? He was the guardian of the Mystic Divine Palace and had saved me in the Gods Bestow City. Shouldn’t I repay his kindness?

“The Mystic Thearch had asked me three questions just now. The second was whether I was willing to kill all the demon clans in the Endless Deep Sea; I said I couldn’t do that because I owed Ao Lu a debt. However, if the human race ever battled with the demon race, I would definitely stand with humans as I am a human. The Mystic Thearch also acknowledged my answer...”

“Ridiculous!”

The Evil Thearch immediately cut-off Jiang Yi’s words, smiled coldly, and said, “Do you really think we are fools? The Mystic Thearch had already shattered the void for more than seven hundred thousand years. He used his great ability to leave behind a remnant soul; this we believe. However, you said you spoke to the Mystic Thearch? You mean that his remnant soul was numinous? That’s laughable... how about this, shall we invite the Mystic Thearch to come out and give his orders? We will listen to his edicts. How about that?”

A commotion arose from the surroundings. The Evil Thearch’s words made sense and could be substantiated; Jiang Yi’s words—on the other hand—sounded unreliable as if he was trying to smoke his way through.

Everyone also held their breath. If the Mystic Thearch really appeared—even as a phantom image or transmitted a word, no one would dare to go against his wishes. Jiang Yi would then be able to become the tenth Thearch and be on the same level as the other Nine Thearchs.

Could the Mystic Thearch appear?

That was obviously not possible. The Mystic Thearch’s divine soul had long dissipated. Jiang Yi smiled bitterly; he could not refute this matter. He was resigned to being accused of being a spy by the people of the East Imperial Continent, a betrayer and a public enemy!

However, his objective had already been achieved. He had managed to digest all the information in his brain and figured out how to control most restrictions in the Mystic Divine Palace. His face revealed confidence as he stopped trying to argue.

So what if everyone on the East Imperial Continent all thought he was their enemy?

So what if he was cursed for generations? As long as his conscience was clear, why did he have to bother about how other people thought? History was always being rewritten by the victors; swords and knives seemed to be more powerful than words.

Jiang Yi thought for a moment as he continued holding the jade talisman in his hand. He said seriously, “I do not wish to explain too much. Truth lies in each of our hearts; the heavens are also watching as man act. My conscience is clear! I will reiterate my point again. I had said in front of the Mystic Thearch that as long as the Nine Thearch Clans do not find trouble with me, I will not become enemies with you guys.

“As for... the Evil Thearch, I will repeat myself: if She Fei wants to kill me, why can’t I kill him? It can’t be that as long as a disciple from the Nine Thearch Clans wants to kill someone, that person has to offer up his head on a platter, right?”

“Hahaha!”

The Evil Thearch laughed mockingly as his ash-gray hair started to dance and blinding light started to gather in his hands as he was about to attack. He exploded and said, “You can kill She Fei; I can also kill you. This is very fair.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi growled and said, “How about the other clans? Those who want to kill me, please attack. However... if you guys fail in your attempt this time, the next time will be my time for vengeance!”

“Hmph!”

The Battle Thearch and North Thearch snorted at the same time while the Sword Thearch and Beast Thearch’s faces were full of amusement and mockery. This Jiang Yi really thought of himself as a somebody. He was too cocky.

“Let’s attack together and break through the restrictions on the Mystic Divine Palace and kill the spy from Sin Island, the traitor of mankind!”

The Evil Thearch yelled from the top of his voice as a huge beam of light shot forth from his hands. The light congealed in mid-air, and an immensely big beast head that was a few thousand feet wide appeared, heading straight for the Mystic Divine Palace.

“Break—”

The North Thearch had attacked also. He obviously didn’t use his full might but casually amassed some essence force and transformed it into a ten-thousand-feet long battle saber, slashing down on the Mystic Divine Palace.

“Jiang Yi, although I have said that whoever obtained the Mystic Divine Palace would forever be a friend of the Zhan Clan, it is a pity that you are a spy from Sin Island and also a traitor to humankind. My apologies.”

The Battle Thearch thought about it and attacked as well. The Mystic Divine Palace could not fall into Jiang Yi’s hands. If not, the Nine Thearch Clans would no longer have any face left. Furthermore, this might result in the strength of Sin Island increasing greatly; this was the most catastrophic thing that could happen to the Nine Thearch Clans. The key was that inside the Mystic Divine Palace were two divine artifacts; he wanted to get them dearly.

“Kill!”

The Sword Thearch and Beast Thearch did not hesitate and attacked simultaneously. The Yin Thearch hesitated for a second and also started attacking. Only the Xuan Thearch’s face remained calm as he seemed impervious to desires and passions; no one knew what he was thinking.

The Sonar Thearch did not move. Although the Shadow Emperor had asked him to repay the debt he owed to Jiang Yi—if he acted now, the Chen Clan would definitely be annihilated. It didn’t matter if he died; the Chen Clan could not die with him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful attacks of a few Thearchs rained on the Mystic Divine Palace. In that instant, everyone else in the vicinity thought that the heavens were going to come crashing down. That terrifying pressure and aura made low-grade martial artists far away tremble as they all retreated hastily.

The spatial zone near the Mystic Divine Palace was being violently rocked. Stream after stream of blinding light lit up, and many people momentarily lost their sight. The huge explosive sounds were also making them go deaf. Huge crevices and cracks have appeared, stretching far into the distance. It seemed as if the heavens were going to be split.

Under such a terrifying barrage, could the restrictions of the Mystic Divine Palace hold?

The same thought was floating in the minds of many of those present: six Thearchs were attacking together, with two of them even being nine-star Thearchs. Once the restrictions were broken, Jiang Yi would definitely perish.
