Chapter Forty-Five: Martial Dao Founds a World, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race Are Crowned, and the Ten Thousand Races Unite Against Humanity!

"What happened?"

Demon Emperor Dijun was stunned as he felt the Human Race surge into the starry sky.

"Outrageous! You mere ants of the Human Race dare—!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi roared in fury.

He and Dijun were Star Spirits born from the Sun Star. With the starry sky as their foundation, they had established the Demon Clan.

They had dared to use the Demon Clan's Thirty-three Heavens to perish alongside the Witch Clan because the starry sky remained as their trump card.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation could be fully deployed only by drawing on the origins of the stars in the starry sky.

If the Human Race invaded the starry sky...

The Da Luo Demon Gods were now gravely wounded and on the brink of death, sustained only by a wisp of stellar origin. They would be doomed.

Worst of all, if the Human Race occupied the starry sky, the Demon Clan would lose one of its foundations.

Even the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation would be far less powerful if they tried to deploy it in the future.

The Demon Clan had already been inferior to the Witch Clan. Now their plight had grown even worse!

"I, Suiren Shi of the Human Race!"

"I, Zi Yi Shi of the Human Race!"

"I, You Chao Shi of the Human Race!"

"We proclaim this to Heaven and Earth!"

"Heaven moves with vigor; the Human Race shall strive without cease!"

"Today, we transcend the River of Destiny and attain the Martial Saint realm—the Quasi-saint realm! Let Heaven and Earth bear witness!"

Regardless of what the Demon Clan thought, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race roared, their voices echoing across Heaven and Earth.

Rumble!

Nine Sounds of Heavenly Thunder rang out, and wondrous visions filled the sky.

Boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into a storm, enveloping the countless members of the Human Race.

The Kongtong Seal shot out from Huang Tian's brow and scattered an endless golden radiance of Human Race Destiny across the sky.

The twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets around the Buzhou Pillar burst with pillars of light that reached from Heaven to Earth. They manifested endless True Martial Dao Intent, embedding themselves into the Great Desolation Origin as though they had always been there.

Until now, with Heaven's Will and Hongjun in cahoots, Immortal Dao had reigned supreme.

Though Huang Tian had established Martial Dao, it had been considered a lesser path, no different from the Three Thousand Side Paths or the Eight Hundred Unorthodox Paths.

Now, as the Three Ancestors of the Human Race attained the Martial Saint realm—the Quasi-saint realm—they stirred the origin power of the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets.

Vast True Martial Dao Intent illuminated every corner of the Great Desolation.

From this day forth, Martial Dao and Immortal Dao would stand side by side. Both were Great Daos that could lead one to sainthood, completing the Great Desolation.

Even if the Heavenly Dao did not wish to see Martial Dao rise, it had no choice but to bestow its blessings.

After all, the Pangu Will still existed. The Heavenly Dao could not rule by fiat.

"Hiss!"

"So this is Martial Dao? It stands on equal footing with Immortal Dao!"

"Martial Dao is a path to the other shore, surpassing the Three Thousand Side Paths and the Eight Hundred Unorthodox Paths. It can lead to sainthood?"

The countless living beings of the Great Desolation cried out in astonishment as a profound understanding dawned on them.

With the Primordial Dao gone and Immortal Dao ascendant, living beings had been left with no other choice.

Now, a new path had emerged: Martial Dao. It cultivated both the body and the Nascent Soul, within and without, making its practitioners invincible among their peers. Countless beings of the Great Desolation yearned for it.

What astonished the Ten Thousand Races most was this:

In a mere million years, the Human Race had produced one top powerhouse after another through Martial Dao.

Besides the Human Emperor, Huang Tian, and his attendant, Taibai, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race were now on the verge of attaining the Martial Saint realm—the Quasi-saint realm.

If they succeeded, the Human Race would have five Martial Saints.

With the Witch and Demon Clans both badly weakened, the Human Race might become the strongest race in the Great Desolation!

"Damn it! We can't let the Human Race rise!"

"The resources of Heaven and Earth are limited. If the Human Race rises, there'll be less for us!"

"A race born after Heaven and Earth has no right to compete for our resources!"

At that thought, countless Great Divine Powers across Heaven and Earth erupted in fury, unleashing unprecedented killing intent toward the Human Race.

With the Witch and Demon Clans looming over them, they had already been walking on thin ice.

But at least, the Witch and Demon Clans reproduced at an ordinary rate.

The Human Race multiplied at a terrifying pace. If they rose, would there still be room in the Great Desolation for the Ten Thousand Races to survive?

The living beings of the Ten Thousand Races sprang into action, intent on stamping out the Human Race before it could fully rise.

"By my authority as Martial Ancestor, I hereby decree!"

"Suiren Shi, Zi Yi Shi, and You Chao Shi are crowned! With sincerity, Tian Ta Bu Jing Yun presents <Great Desolation: Born the Human Emperor, the Kongtong Seal Recognizes Its Master at the Start>, exclusively published by Kele Novel! Let Heaven and Earth bear witness!"

Without hesitation, Huang Tian proclaimed the decree.

The boundless spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth surged, gathering around Suiren Shi and the others.

"Rumble!"

Heaven and Earth thundered. The blood and energy surrounding Suiren Shi, Zi Yi Shi, and You Chao Shi spread outward and surged with power.

A river that stretched between Heaven and Earth appeared, its source and end unknown. It was none other than the River of Destiny.

"Martial Dao Dharma Image!"

Without hesitation, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race manifested their Martial Dao Dharma Images. Each reached the ultimate height of 1.296 billion zhang.

Three illusory stars appeared in the River of Destiny, standing before the Dharma Images of the Three Ancestors.

But the stars were still too vague, not yet solid enough.

"By my authority as Human Emperor, I hereby decree!"

"Suiren Shi, Zi Yi Shi, and You Chao Shi shall be the Three Ancestors of our Human Race! Let the Human Race's destiny gather and crown them as the Ancestors of our Human Race!"

Huang Tian's gaze was sharp as he roared once more.

The Kongtong Seal shone with dazzling golden light, pouring down an endless stream of golden Human Race Destiny and infusing it into the Three Ancestors.

"Rumble!"

Heaven and Earth thundered without end, as violet energy surged eastward for countless millions of miles.

The destiny of the Human Race gathered into Human Ancestor Crowns and settled upon the heads of Suiren Shi and the others.

"We pay homage to Ancestor Suiren!"

"We pay homage to Ancestor Zi Yi!"

"We pay homage to Ancestor You Chao!"

In an instant, the blood and energy of a trillion members of the Human Race surged into the sky as they shouted in unison.

Wondrous flowers descended from Heaven, and Golden Lotuses sprang from the Earth.

The destiny of the Human Race interwove with True Martial Dao Intent and infused the Martial Dao Dharma Images of the Three Ancestors.

Their Dharma Images, already 1.296 billion zhang tall, grew even more powerful, and the Three Ancestors' auras surged.

Threads of Human Dao destiny spread outward, recognizing the Three Ancestors as such.

"Why? This can't be!"

"What an immense power of destiny!"

"The Human Race hasn't even reached its peak, yet it already possesses destiny comparable to that of the Witch and Demon Clans!"

"Could it be that the Human Race is destined to rule Heaven and Earth?"

Watching the Three Ancestors of the Human Race crowned and feeling the vast, boundless destiny of the Human Race, countless living beings were stunned.

Dijun, Taiyi, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Minghe, and other top Great Divine Powers cried out in astonishment.

..

Wa Huang Palace.

"The Human Race has such deep foundations that they can profit amid the struggle between the Witch and Demon Clans..."

"What should I do?"

Watching the destiny of the Human Race surge into the sky, Nuwa cried out in shock.

She had planned to step in at a critical moment and help the Demon Clan defeat the Witch Clan.

But now the Human Race had reaped the rewards while the Witch and Demon Clans had both suffered devastating losses.

As the Holy Mother of the Human Race, sharing in its destiny, Nuwa was caught in a dilemma.

"A race born after Heaven and Earth multiplying quickly is one thing. But if every member of the Human Race has this potential, it's terrifying."

"No matter what, the Human Race must die. They're an even more terrifying race than the Witch and Demon Clans."

"The Human Race has entered the starry sky and is trying to seize the Demon Clan's foundations. This is our chance!"

"Let's take advantage of the moment, while the Human Race Ancestral Land at the Shore of the East Sea is undefended, and destroy the Human Race's foundations!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"If the Human Race takes the starry sky and absorbs what it finds there, even the Witch and Demon Clans won't be able to stop them. Then it'll be too late!"

"This is our only chance to destroy the Human Race. Attack!"

The Great Divine Powers of the Ten Thousand Races cried out in anger. Sensing the enormous threat posed by the Human Race, they could no longer remain calm.

In an instant, the leaders of the Ten Thousand Races issued orders to their clans, dispatching elite forces of the Daluo and Quasi-saint realms to encircle and attack the Shore of the East Sea.

With the future of their races at stake, the Ten Thousand Races dared not delay.

For a time, the Human Race was beset on all sides, with enemies everywhere!
