Chapter 404: Chapter 361 The Battle Flag Flies_1

Outside the Northern Desolation.

Ao Wushuang was on the brink of collapse!

It was torture!

He had been ready to turn around and run, crossing the Northern Immortal Domain, then the Central Immortal Domain, and escape directly to the Southern Immortal Domain!

But then, he was blocked by two Saint Kings of the Celestial Tribe?

Was there no way for him to escape anymore?!

“Why are you alone here? Where is the army of your tribe?”

Tian Yuansheng looked at Ao Wushuang with a cold face!

Ao Wushuang’s scalp tingled as he said,

“They… are all dead…”

Upon hearing this, both Saint Kings were taken aback!

All dead?

How could that be?!

“How could this have happened… With Tian Haochu carrying the Ancestor Emperor’s Edict, unless a living Saint Emperor took action, they should have been safe!”

Tian Yuandao was extremely solemn, when suddenly, his gaze pierced through Ao Wushuang!

“I will search this person’s soul!”

His expression was ice-cold, and in an instant, his aura enveloped Ao Wushuang!

Ao Wushuang’s body stiffened!

At that moment, he felt as if he had been completely restrained!

It was as if something was watching him, seeing right through him!

It was over, all over!

Ao Wushuang trembled instantly.

The two Saint Kings would surely find out about his betrayal of his comrades in that little mountain village…

Dead as a doornail!

Ao Wushuang was in utter despair!

But at this moment, both Tian Yuandao and Tian Yuansheng were shocked!

Because when they probed Ao Wushuang’s memory, they saw the following scene:

Tian Haochu and others were pursuing the remnant of the Celestial Wolf Clan, and along the way, the remnant devoured the Divine Blood Herb.

They arrived at a terrifying mountain range!

In the depths of the mountain range, suddenly, a terrifyingly powerful entity extended a huge claw, crushing the Celestial Wolf remnant and all of Tian Haochu’s group, even the Ancestor Emperor’s Edict was unable to stop it!

Immediately after, among the ruins, Ao Wushuang crawled out of the ashes, struggled to a place near the body of the Celestial Wolf remnant, skinned the snow-white Celestial Wolf, extracted all its blood, and put it in a Jade Pot.

“Even if I, Ao Wushuang, die, I must bring back the Divine Blood for the Celestial Ancestor Emperor!”

“I am born for the Celestial Tribe!”

In the memory, Ao Wushuang’s face was filled with piety!

Afterward, Ao Wushuang, alone, walked out of the Great Wilderness!

After seeing Ao Wushuang’s memories, both Tian Yuandao and Tian Yuansheng, the two Saint Kings, looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes!

There was a terrifying presence in the depths of the Northern Desolation!

Even the Saint Emperor’s Edict couldn’t stop it!

“This Ao Wushuang, to be able to survive such a catastrophe, truly has an extraordinary fortune!”

Tian Yuansheng suddenly spoke, and in his eyes looking at Ao Wushuang, there was actually a hint of admiration!

Tian Yuandao couldn’t help but sigh, “Although he is from the Human Race, he remains utterly loyal to our tribe. Such a devoted individual is rare these days!”

He reached out, patted Ao Wushuang on the shoulder, and encouraged him:

“You’ve worked hard!”

Ao Wushuang, upon hearing this, was completely dumbfounded.

What was happening?

Why were these two actually praising him?

He couldn’t help but swallow hard. Were everyone in the Celestial Tribe crazy?

He had his suspicions!

“Where is the Jade Pot? Hand it over.”

Tian Yuansheng spoke.

Ao Wushuang, upon hearing this, shuddered fearfully and handed over the Jade Pot.

Tian Yuansheng took it with great care, lightly opened the stopper of the Jade Pot, and took a sniff!

“Ah… that’s refreshing!”

Tian Yuansheng had a look of pleasure, “As expected, it’s the original Divine Blood contained in the Divine Blood Herb!”

“Truly wonderful. Now that we have it, let’s go, we can go back. The Ancestor Emperor… shall be revived!”

Tian Yuandao was also excited.

“Young Ao, you have made a great contribution this time, your sincerity is evident. Come, follow us back to the tribe, I will nominate you as a candidate for Quasi-Saint Son of the Celestial Tribe!”

Tian Yuansheng put away the Jade Pot and looked at Ao Wushuang again!

The more he looked at this young man, the more he liked him!

A born lucky star, gifted beyond compare, and moreover, with such a loyal and righteous heart.

He could be cultivated into a loyal dog, a sharp sword for the Celestial Tribe to wield in the future!

Upon hearing this, Ao Wushuang felt even more bewildered.

What in the world was this situation…

Was he really going to get away with it??

No way…

Heavens bless me!

“`

However, the thought of becoming a candidate for the Quasi-Saint Son of the Celestial Tribe, such an unlucky group, immediately scared him. Even someone as fortunate as himself feared he might not withstand the bad luck of the Celestial Tribe!

Determined, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said,

“That… both of you Saint Kings, do you want to take revenge? I’ll take you there!”

Hope flickered in his eyes!

“There’s no need, we currently cannot go to that place!”

Tian Yuansheng waved his hand majestically and said, “Let’s go!”

Disappointment flooded Ao Wushuang’s eyes in an instant!

“Don’t be sad. I know your loyalty to our tribe and how eagerly you yearn to avenge our people, but now is not the time.”

Tian Yuandao smiled.

At that moment, he swept up his sleeve, directly enveloping Ao Wushuang, and they both left together!

…

The night was deep.

The villagers had scattered back to their homes after finishing the feast.

At this moment, in a simple room, in a house on the eastern edge of the village,

Jiang Xue lay on the bed, feeling a heat throughout her body!

She could feel that the Saintly Spiritual Energy within her was erupting, storming into her sea of consciousness!

Because of a bowl of fruit wine, her Cultivation Level was breaking through.

From Great Ability Realm… breaking into Saint!

Those in the Jade Pivot Realm are called Great Saint Power.

While those in the “Fog Piercing” Realm are known as Saints!

In this Realm, cultivators dispel the fog in the sea of consciousness and discover their true selves.

At this moment, Jiang Xue felt utterly lost…

She saw many things…

Scenes that did not belong to her!

She seemed to return to another era.

It was a primitive and vast land where the Ten Thousand Tribes flourished with endless life.

But the Human Race struggled desperately beneath the Ten Thousand Tribes.

She saw a Tribe being devoured in one gulp by an ancient different race, leaving nothing but piles of bones.

She saw cultivators of the Human Race soar into the sky, only to be casually slain by strong different race warriors.

She saw every member of the Human Race prostrate on the ground when a different race Saint advanced in strength.

…

It was as if the fog of the ages was gradually lifting.

Another person was walking towards her step by step.

It was a little girl crawling out from the ruins destroyed by a different race, covered in wounds, using her tiny hands to dig out the corpses of her tribe from the rubble, crying as she buried all her relatives in the pouring rain.

It was a young girl, torturing herself desperately in the prime of youth like a diligent ascetic.

It was an indifferent yet powerful peerless woman, streaking across the Great Wilderness, clashing with the pride of the Ten Thousand Tribes, pressing them to a point where they dare not even glance sideways.

It was an invincible female Saint, whose might could shake an entire race on her own!

She emerged from hardship, dressed in white. Ultimately, she stood tall between heaven and earth. With a raise of her hand, stars were extinguished; with a turn of her head, heaven and earth quaked. Even the strongest ancient emperors among the Ten Thousand Tribes did not dare to contend with her.

Her name was Snow, but wherever she passed, rivers of blood would surge sky high.

The Human Race revered her as the Snow Emperor, and at the same time, the Ten Thousand Tribes referred to her as the “Blood Emperor”!

…

At this moment, within the simple room, Jiang Xue suddenly slowly opened her eyes.

She had become a Saint!

But at this moment, her eyes revealed deep bewilderment.

“Who am I… and who is she?”

She whispered to herself!

This moment, she suddenly got up and walked out of the room.

Above, the stars and moon hung high in the Sky Vault.

Step by step, she walked out of the utterly silent small mountain village and then headed in a certain direction towards the Northern Desolation!

Meanwhile.

In the Depths of the Northern Desolation.

Between the vast mountains, the primal landscape seemed as if it had been cleaved by a Divine Sword, leaving a swath of scattered bones.

At this moment, suddenly, the ground shook and collapsed like an earthquake, trees snapped and were destroyed, and the ground itself exploded…

Amidst the swirling dust, countless bones suddenly arose from the earth!

This place had been marked by Li Fan months ago!

Latter, when bones emerged from the ground, it had caused a beast tide in the Northern Desolation.

Lin Jiu Zheng, Wu Dade, and Big Black Dog had come here before. Da Hei used his Mana to seal this area.

However, now, innumerable bones stood up densely packed, their hollow eye sockets seeming to all gaze in a certain direction!

An endless army of bones appeared to be on guard, waiting for something…

And among the endless skeletons, four towering giant bones stood, protecting a tattered battle flag!

Blood stains mottled the flag, as if it had been through thousands of battles!

The flag fluttered against the wind, and in a moment, an overwhelming surge of evil and Yin Qi spread across the Depths of the Northern Desolation!

In the sky above, under the moonlit night, a vast and endless battle flag shadow seemed to stand between heaven and earth!

Birds and beasts fled in terror!
