Oath

Chen Fan walked step by step.

Beneath his feet lay nothingness, and all around him were raging Law Turbulence and shattered fragments of spacetime.

This is a death trap left behind by three Human Race predecessors Zhan Wuji, Sword Master, Martial Fool, after they self-destructed their Dao Fruits. Any Ninth Tier being who steps into this place will be instantly torn to dust.

But his body is three feet three inches tall, forming a universe of its own, impervious to all laws, and tranquil in time and space.

He stopped.

Ahead, at the heart of that chaos, three faint wills, like candles flickering in the wind, were making their final trembling. They were unyielding, gentle, as if silently watching over him.

Those were the last traces left in this world by the three predecessors.

Chen Fan remained silent, his face icy and unyielding, but his deep, universe-like eyes reflected three embers about to be extinguished.

He slowly bent down and bowed towards that void.

The movements were performed with precision and solemnity.

In the instant his eyes closed, a vow, unknown to outsiders yet powerful enough to shake the ages, was solemnly established within his Dao Heart, which had already become a real universe.

"Three seniors, Chen Fan hereby swears an oath."

"From this day forward, wherever I am, the Human Race Territory will be forever secure!"

"Whatever I establish, the flame of Human Race will surely flourish for ten thousand generations!"

"From now on, Human Race... will never again suffer the regrets of today!"

The oath was made.

Boom!

The overwhelming killing intent that had arisen from slaying the three Prodigies on his body was instantly wiped away and completely dissipated, as if by an invisible hand. In its place was a vast will as profound as the universe, capable of bearing the birth and death of all things.

That is the will to protect.

He is a newly born Martial God, a promise to a race.

Chen Fan took one last look at the gradually calming Void, as if he wanted to forever imprint those three sparks in his universe.

Then he turned around.

Take a step forward.

The figure disappeared into the Primordial Origin Gate without tearing through space or causing any ripples, as if it had never existed.

The Boundary Sea, this forbidden land that buried countless powerful figures from different eras, fell into utter silence after his departure.

Meanwhile, outside the Boundary Sea.

In the vast and boundless starry sky of the real universe, three majestic figures, beyond description, descended from different ancient Dimensions.

A being, constructed from the bones of countless gods and demons, whose every breath plunged the surrounding Star Domain into an apocalyptic silence.

One being is a pure condensation of Demonic Qi, seemingly a manifestation of an endless Abyss. Its mere existence distorts light and causes the laws of nature to wail.

The last one was surrounded by dazzling immortal Immortal Light, exuding sacred majesty, but beneath that Immortal Light lay absolute ruthlessness, regarding all things as mere straw dogs.

Godfiend Ancient Ancestor Demon Race Progenitor, Immortal Race Dao Venerable!

Three streams of fury, powerful enough to crush eternity, intertwined wildly in the frigid Star Sea.

Wherever their will passed, ancient Stars that had existed for billions of years trembled silently, turning into the most primordial Cosmic Dust.

Dead!

The most outstanding descendants of their respective clans, carrying the hopes of an era's Fortune, were just now utterly wiped out by the same person in the same place!

Just as these three world-destroying rages were about to completely ignite this Star Domain.

A figure in white appeared silently in front of them.

It was the White Emperor.

He first glanced at the three enraged ancient beings, then at the slowly closing gate to the Boundary Sea behind him. He sensed the three completely dissipated peak causes and effects within the gate, and also sensed the newly born supreme aura that even amazed him.

White Emperor was taken aback at first.

Then he understood.

Under the wrath of these three Ancient Ancestors, whose power could freeze the universe, he actually clapped his hands and let out a hearty laugh that resounded throughout the Star Sea!

"Haha! Good! Well done, Chen Fan! What a worthy Human Race Qilin Prodigy!"

The laughter transformed into rolling Daoist sounds, which actually managed to disperse some of the combined furious pressure from the three Ancient Ancestors.

The laughter was filled with undisguised joy, and a hint of... schadenfreude.

"White Emperor! How dare you?!"

The Godfiend Ancient Ancestor, with his eyes composed of countless soul flames, locked onto the White Emperor, his roar transforming into a tangible Soul Storm that shattered countless Dimensions.

"My clan's Imperial Son has fallen, and you still dare to laugh wildly here! Today, your Human Race must pay a bloody price for this!"

"Oh?"

The White Emperor's laughter ceased, and he put his hands behind his back, a playful sneer on his face.

"You three are allowed to join forces and shamelessly gang up on a junior member of my Human Race who is still inexperienced."

"Why can't my Human Race's prodigy, a genius, turn the tables and kill those three useless good-for-nothings of yours?"

He looked the three Ancient Ancestors up and down, marveling at them.

"If you can't handle losing, then don't play. What, now that the younger ones can't beat you, the older ones have to step in themselves? You old fogies who have lived for countless eons, are your skin made of Chaos Stone?"

"Presumptuous!"

"Court death!"

The White Emperor's Yin-Yang and blatant insults ignited the fury of the three Ancient Ancestors.

The Abyss -like demonic shadow of the Demon Race Progenitor let out a roar that shook the universe.

"Further words are useless! Today I will first slay you, my protector, and then slaughter the Human Race to vent my hatred!"

The moment the words fell!

Three supreme powers, surpassing the Ninth Tier and above Ten Thousand Dao, erupted with a deafening roar!

The Godfiend Ancient Ancestor extended White Bone Giant Claw, the center of which evolved into Cosmic Graveyard, and grabbed towards the White Emperor!

The Demon Race Progenitor pointed a finger, unleashing a wisp of pure, final Demonic Qi, intending to utterly reduce the White Emperor to Guixu!

With a flick of his sleeve, the Immortal Race Dao Venerable unleashed a beam of ruthless and desireless Immortal Light, attempting to sever all karmic ties between the White Emperor and this universe!

The three attacks, each possessing the world-destroying power to annihilate a vast universe, simultaneously struck the white-robed White Emperor from three directions!

However, at this critical moment...

Behind the White Emperor, the Boundary Sea portal that was about to close completely suddenly rippled.

Immediately afterwards.

A calm and composed figure slowly emerged from it.

Chen Fan's figure appeared on this supreme battlefield, which can be described as the pinnacle of the universe.

His flawless aura of Martial God, though not outwardly displayed, instantly attracted the attention of all four supreme beings present, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

The moment Chen Fan appeared.

Those three supreme wills, which had been firmly locked onto the White Emperor and were powerful enough to crush the ages, seemed to have found a true outlet and instantly shifted!

Boom!!

A mixture of rage and chilling killing intent accumulated over countless years transformed into three substantial Law Storm, traversing time and space, and crashing headlong into Chen Fan!

Where the storm passed, ancient Stars in several surrounding Star Domain dimmed at the same time, their light and heat instantly drained, turning them into lifeless Cosmic Dust.

"It was you who killed my clan's Qilin Prodigy!"

The Godfiend Ancient Ancestor, whose body was composed of billions of bones, let out a roar that shook the universe.
