The Seven Luminaries and Twenty-Eight Mansions; the Three Ancestors Attain Martial Sainthood; Forty Quasi Saints Battle the Human Race!

"By the name of the Human Emperor, I command the Human Race!"

"Slay the Demon Gods, seize the stars, and take the Destiny Stars!"

Standing high above the firmament, Human Emperor Huang Tian shouted without hesitation.

"We obey the Human Emperor's Edict!"

Sui Ren Shi and the other Three Ancestors of the Human Race, along with the Human Race's Martial Emperors (Daluo) and other powerful figures, respectfully accepted the command.

In an instant, Martial Dao Dharma Images blotted out the sky and swept across the heavens, launching a slaughter against the Demon Gods who controlled the three hundred and sixty-five main stars.

The Human Race cultivated Martial Dao. To break through to Martial Saint (Quasi saint) and transcend the River of Time, they needed to shatter the phantom of a star and take control of its corresponding authority.

Taibai was an exception. After bathing in Taibai Jinxing's Star Power and taking control of a sliver of his authority, he had been able to break through directly to Martial Saint (Quasi saint).

And now, the Human Race had its best opportunity.

With the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation shattered and the Demon Gods who controlled the stars severely wounded, the time had come to strike.

Killing these Demon Gods and seizing the main stars—that was the foundation of the Human Race's Martial Dao!

In theory, the stronger the star whose phantom one shattered, the stronger the Martial Saint (Quasi saint) one would become.

Furthermore, each main star could accommodate more than one Martial Saint (Quasi saint).

The three hundred and sixty-five main stars were more than enough for most of the Human Race's powerful figures to attain Martial Sainthood (Quasi sainthood).

"Kill!"

For a time, demons fell from the starry sky like rain.

The five stars of the Northern Dipper were Tanlang, Jumen, Lianzhen, Wuqu, and Pojun.

The six stars of the Southern Dipper were Tianfu, Tianliang, Tiantong, Tianji, Tianxiang, and Qisha.

In the blink of an eye, the Human Race had seized them.

Including the Purple Emperor Star, the Human Race now controlled twelve stars of Ziwei Dou Shu.

The remaining two were the Sun and Moon, controlled respectively by Di Jun, Taiyi, Wangshu, Xihe, and Changxi.

Unless they killed Di Jun and the others, the Human Race would struggle to claim all fourteen stars of Ziwei Dou Shu.

But the five stars of the Northern Dipper and the six of the Southern Dipper would be enough for the Human Race's future Martial Saints (Quasi saints).

There was no need to rush for the Sun and Moon.

"Phew!"

Sensing the battle in the starry sky, Di Jun and Taiyi both breathed a sigh of relief.

The core of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation lay in the Seven Luminaries and Twenty-Eight Mansions.

The other stars merely supplied greater amounts of Star Power.

Without the stars of Ziwei Dou Shu, they could simply find more ordinary stars to take their place.

"Pfft!"

In the next instant, Di Jun and Taiyi's expressions froze.

A late-stage Daluo Demon God who controlled Yinghuo Star spat blood, his aura growing feeble.

Then the authorities over Suixing and Zhenxing were stripped away.

The Daluo Demon Gods who controlled those authorities were not the only ones whose injuries worsened. Even the Demon Clan's high-ranking figures, including Di Jun, Taiyi, and Fuxi, began coughing blood.

The Seven Luminaries were the Sun, Moon, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Yinghuo Star corresponded to the Fire Luminary, Zhenxing to the Earth Luminary, and Suixing to the Wood Luminary.

With Taibai having seized the Metal Luminary's authority through Taibai Jinxing, the Demon Clan now controlled only the Sun Luminary, Solar Emperor, and the Moon Luminary, Lunar Primordial Sovereign.

"Let Sui Ren Shi, Human Ancestor of the Human Race, take up the Fire Luminary and rule as Yinghuo Star Sovereign!"

"Let Zi Yi Shi, Human Ancestor of the Human Race, take up the Earth Luminary and rule as Zhenxing Star Sovereign!"

"Let You Chao Shi, Human Ancestor of the Human Race, take up the Wood Luminary and rule as Suixing Star Sovereign!"

Three thunderous shouts rang out. Three towering crimson figures emerged from the River of Destiny: the Three Ancestors of the Human Race.

From that moment on, the Human Race had gained three early-stage Martial Saints (Quasi saints), and its fortune grew further.

As the Demon Clan's foundations crumbled, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the other high-ranking figures looked grim, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches burst into laughter.

"The Human Race's wanton slaughter defies the Heavenly Dao. They must be exterminated!"

Just then, a sudden roar of battle cries shook the heavens.

A vast tide of demonic energy surged in, and forty Quasi saints appeared, standing in the Primordial Starry Sky as they stared fixedly at the Human Race's forces.

"The Ten Thousand Races? Are you going to meddle in the feud between the Human Race and the Demon Clan?"

With a piercing gaze, Huang Tian spoke calmly.

Sui Ren Shi, Zi Yi Shi, You Chao Shi, and the other Three Ancestors gathered beside Huang Tian, facing off against the forty Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races.

Da Ting Shi, Zhu Xiang Shi, Ge Tian Shi, and the other six great clan leaders of the Human Race—Martial Emperors at the peak of the Daluo realm—also stared intently at the Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races.

"We have not come for the Demon Clan. We have come for all the living beings of the Primordial World."

"The Human Race's slaughter is excessive and hastens the Tribulation."

"However, since you are a race created by a Sage, we can still leave the Human Race a sliver of hope."

"Human Emperor, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, and the clan leaders of the Human Race: if you are willing to kill yourselves to atone, we of the Ten Thousand Races can spare the Human Race."

"Otherwise, you face certain death!"

A Quasi saint of the Ten Thousand Races, with a tiger's head and a human body, shouted.

"Exactly! The Human Race refuses to heed Heaven's will. They must be exterminated!"

"If the Human Race's powerful figures kill themselves, the rest may live. Otherwise, death!"

"Human Race, why haven't you submitted to your fate?"

The Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races stared at Huang Tian and the others with scorn, speaking one after another.

"Sui Ren Shi, you stay."

"Everyone else, return to the Shore of the East Sea at once."

Huang Tian calmly instructed them, his gaze fixed on the Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races.

This concerned a war between races. Today, the Human Race might have to fight the Ten Thousand Races, or it would never know peace.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Human Emperor!"

Without hesitation, Da Ting Shi, Zhu Xiang Shi, and the others accepted the order and departed for the Shore of the East Sea.

Sui Ren Shi held the supreme-grade Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure, Primordial Fire Lamp, and summoned his Martial Dao Dharma Image into the sky.

Zi Yi Shi held the supreme-grade Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure, Zi Yi Shuttle, while You Chao Shi held the supreme-grade Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure, Chao Ju.

The Three Ancestors of the Human Race radiated surging vitality and blood, their killing intent fierce.

They awaited only a single command from Human Emperor Huang Tian. Even against forty Quasi saints, they would not hesitate to unleash their slaughter.

"Hiss!"

At the sight, the Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races' pupils contracted. They felt that their decision to surround and kill the Human Race today had been the right one.

The Three Ancestors had only just broken through to the early stage of Quasi sainthood (Martial Sainthood), yet they could unleash the might of mid-stage Quasi saints.

With a supreme-grade Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure apiece, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race were the equivalent of three late-stage Quasi saints.

The Human Race had existed for barely a million years, yet it had produced so many top-tier powerhouses—surpassing the foundations the Ten Thousand Races had built over countless ages.

Moreover, the Human Race multiplied at an astonishing rate and had no shortage of fighters at the lower and middle levels.

The Human Race had seized the stars of the heavens, and its foundations and fortune had surged.

Give the Human Race a few more eras, and even the Witch and Demon Clans might be crushed.

As long as the Human Race survived, the Ten Thousand Races would never feel at ease!

"Wait! They can't leave!"

Just then, the tiger-headed, human-bodied leader of the Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races spoke up, trying to stop Da Ting Shi and the other Human Race clan leaders from leaving.

"Hmm?"

Huang Tian fixed his piercing gaze on the man. The tiger-headed Quasi saint's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively stumbled back several steps.

"How can this be?!"

The tiger-headed Quasi saint cried out in shock. He dared not look at Huang Tian again.

He was a late-stage Quasi saint, yet a single glance from Huang Tian had made his heart race, as if death were right before him.

Nevertheless, the forty Quasi saints of the Ten Thousand Races did not dare stop the Human Race's clan leaders from leaving.

After all, they were only a group of Martial Emperors (Daluo). If they left, so be it.

As long as they could keep Human Emperor Huang Tian and the Three Ancestors—the Human Race's foundation of Martial Saints (Quasi saints)—the Human Race would pose no threat.
