Necropolis Immortal

n shoved the axe into Xuanyuan’s hands.

Humm.

A ball of yellowish-brown power exploded from his body when Xuanyuan accepted Worldcarver.
All of the great wilderness and the realm itself formed a marvelous connection with the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor was the true protagonist of this era.

Though his strength didn’t change noticeably after receiving the divine axe, a shocking potential flared to life within him—the potential to become master of the realm.

……

“Worldcarver isn’t much of a threat when it’s in the Flame Emperor’s hands, but it becomes a true danger when the Yellow Emperor wields it!” Haotian narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked down over the great wilderness from the world of celestials.

When he’d been injured by the axe, he’d still seen the possibility of seizing Worldcarver for himself.
But after it passed into the Yellow Emperor’s hands, that possibility had faded away.
No one else could think of claiming Worldcarver as long as the Yellow Emperor lived!

Unfortunately, the path down to the lower world through the Mu nation no longer existed—destroyed by the Flame Emperor himself—leaving only Mount Buzhou if one wanted to visit the great wilderness through the world of celestials.

However, Fuxi, Wahuang, and the even more frightening demon god Ah Zhi held down the fort at the mountain.
It was easy to defend and difficult to attack; even Haotian didn’t think lightly of marching on Mount Buzhou.

Great masters of combat arts could still break through the walls around the great wilderness and descend from the world of celestials, but no one below their cultivation level could do the same.
Hence, Haotian called upon the true strength of his celestial court.

Its assembly of connate demon gods wasn’t the strongest aspect of the celestial court, that honor laid with its extensive army and formations.
The formations that the celestial army assembled into could suppress any demon god, or even an entire crowd of them!

Formations were yet to be popularized in this era, so that the celestial court could borrow the power of the land through formations put it at the leading edge of the times.
However, Haotian was currently deploying that ability in the form of a threatening formation that besieged Mount Buzhou.
Passively suffering beatings had never been his style.

On the other hand, the human race couldn’t be bothered with the celestial court at the moment.
With the Xiong Nation as their leader, the five newly allied nations declared large-scale war in the great wilderness.
All of the powerful connate races were dragged into the conflict, as well as the monster spirits, demons, dragons, phoenixes, and qilins.

It was a war for unification of the great wilderness and the ratification of humanity as rulers of the world.
Whether or not they would be the master of all races would be decided by this campaign.

In battles, the Yellow Emperor of the human race wielded Worldcarver with one hand and the Xuanyuan Sword with the other, shocking the world by killing thirty-six connate demon gods in a row!

Those demon gods had all been existences strong enough to rip apart the walls between worlds! In their eyes, the current Yellow Emperor had become even more horrifying than the old Flame Emperor!

The Flame Emperor had defeated his opponents in single combat or one versus two, but the Yellow Emperor had executed his enemies when they attacked him all together!

Since the thirty-six connate demon gods had come from the celestial court, there were naturally many existences on par with Nuanzi among their ranks.
This battle dimmed the sun and moon, casted a shadow over mountain and river, and completely stupefied the great wilderness.

Fuxi finally recognized humanity’s strength in the aftermath of that particular battle and began passing on his formations to the human race.
Hongjun’s three disciples walked the land as well, establishing sects and teaching the supplemental paths of pill, equipment, and talisman dao.

Supremacy of the human race took a tremendous leap forward in this war that lasted ten years, and at the end of it, humans had conquered all of the other races and become the only master of the great wilderness. 

Only the four great nations held the same status as the human race, but the great dao was now human dao, so the emperors of the four nations demoted themselves to become humanity’s protectors.
Even so, the Yellow Emperor didn’t discard their titles and still showed them respect as befitting an emperor.
