Chapters Forty-seventh to Forty-eighth: The Void Battlefield
t skipped a beat.He truly didn't expect that Dongfang Zhao's evaluation of Gongye Heng would be so high.Yet such a powerful blacksmith simply stayed in the dilapidated city of Broken Mountain.Accordi...Boom—
A divine being fiercely blew himself up.
Facing that devastating power, Zhongshan Kong Zhou chose to retreat.
No way.
Even a late-stage Divine Realm expert self-destructing would force an even higher-ranking expert to temporarily retreat from danger.
That can be said.
Self-detonation is a transcending challenge method that all cultivators can master.
>
But whether it can truly drag the enemy to perish together is another matter.
On the other side.
Zhong Shanxia spent a long time recovering his strength. Afterward, he turned his attention to another battlefield.
There.
The two seventh-rank Dao soldiers are still fighting fiercely.
>
Only the illusory figure of Kuiniu and the candlelight phantom transformed from Di Luozhong clashed, each controlling their respective bodies to strike.
When the bell tolls, time stands still.
Lightning destroys everything.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
A moment.
>
Zhong Shan Xia's summer sword slashed out, an unparalleled sword qi forcefully breaking into the battlefield. The terrifying power struck the Kui drum, causing this war weapon of the Kui Niu clan to violently shake.
However.
The Kikimora drum is ultimately a seventh-rank Dao weapon.
Although those attacks could shake his power, they were unable to truly threaten such divine weapons.
When the Kuai drum was attacked, it was shattered.
The collapsing bell seized the opportunity and plunged in, its body violently shaking. The heavy bell's toll transformed into countless long swords, falling upon the opponent densely packed as they could be.
Boom—
The kuang drum vibrated.
If Zhōngshānxià's attack was insufficient to threaten this seventh-rank Dao soldier, then Dìluòzhōng's attack would be beyond his ability to completely ignore.
"Kui Gu, you are defeated!"
In the void, a flickering shadow of a candle stretched its mouth open, and the voice of the Azure Dragon echoed out.
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
The illusory figure of the Qilin bull dissipated, and its drum face trembled with a sound filled with unwillingness.
"If not for outside help, it's impossible to say who would have won or lost!"
He was unwilling.
As a seventh-rank Tao soldier, I'm actually inferior to Di Luozhong.
If the other party were to suppress me with their strength, that would be fine, but to use outside help and make it difficult for me to swallow this breath of anger...
Upon hearing this.
Emperor Luozhong sneered: “I have external help, and you can also borrow external forces. However, your Kui Niu clan lacks strength. Now the current Kui Emperor has fallen, and your Kui Niu clan is doomed.”
No matter how hard you struggle, it's all in vain.
“Though the Kuì Emperor has fallen, I, with even a single ounce of strength remaining, will not allow your Zhōngshān clan to trample upon my Kuíniú clan!”
The Kui drum trembled, a powerful aura rising once again, as if ready to clash with the Di Luo Bell in a final, desperate fight.
Upon seeing this.
Zhong Shan's summer sword pointed straight into the void, his calm eyes fixed on that large drum.
“Today, our Zhongshan clan attacks the Kui Niu clan because the Kui Niu clan is allied with the Du Shan clan. Our clan and the Du Shan clan have a long-standing feud, and now it is time to settle the score.”
However, the extermination of a whole clan was not the wish of my Zhongshan clan.
Now that the Kuai Emperor has fallen, if you are willing to lead the Kuai Niu clan to pledge allegiance to my Zhongshan clan, then my Zhongshan clan will cease its hostilities and give you a path to survival.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
The gui drum remained silent, as if it hadn't heard anything.
That is all.
>
Zhong Shanxia Hun didn't care, and continued, "You are a soldier of the Kui Niu clan, having witnessed the growth of the Kui Niu clan. I presume you wouldn't want to sit idly by and watch your own protected race perish."
Moreover, you should not only consider yourself but also the other beings of the Qilin tribe.
Ask them, are they truly willing to die here
At this moment.
The disciples of the Candle Sect were still engaged in a fierce battle with the Kui Niu clan.
At every moment, there are spirits of the Qí Niú clan being slain, and disciples of the Zhú Zōng falling.
Gazing at the mute and silent Kui drum.
Zhong Shanxia's eyes narrowed slightly, and his long sword seemed to emanate a cold mist.
"I give you three breaths to consider. After three breaths, if you do not make a decision, the Kui Niu clan will be destroyed today!"
One breath!
Two breaths!
As three breaths were about to pass, a bone-chilling coldness emanated from Zhong Shanxia's body.
Finally.
The muffled sound of the *kui* drum echoed, "My *Kui Niu* clan can submit to the Zhong Shan clan."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"It's not submission, but loyalty!"
Zhong Shan Xia corrected her with a sentence.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Zhongshan clan doesn't just want the faith of the Kui Niu clan, it also wants their entire loyalty. Otherwise, if the Kui Niu clan can betray the Du Shan clan today, they could just as easily betray my Zhongshan clan tomorrow.
In any case, my clan will not allow such a danger to remain.
So today the Kuiniu clan has only two choices: either declare their allegiance to heaven and earth, or be wiped out.
Loyalty!
The Qi drum vibrated slightly, clearly containing immense fury.
However.
The anger did not last long, it dissipated in vain.
If it were the ancient Kuei Niu clan, even if they were facing extinction, they would never pledge allegiance to any other tribe.
But—
The Kui Niu clan is already a thing of the past.
Once, the Kui Niu clan bent to the will of the Du Shan clan just to survive. Their spines were already broken.
To swear allegiance to the Zhongshan clan now is to have one's backbone broken completely.
But.
Kui Gu understood, he had no choice.
The Qilin Ox clan is no longer the Qilin Ox tribe it used to be.
If you do not choose to submit today, the Kuiniu clan will surely be exterminated.
To perpetuate the legacy, generations of powerful individuals from the Kui Niu clan have paid a heavy price. If it were to be destroyed overnight, countless years of effort would be in vain.
As soon as he thought of this.
The breath in Kui Gu's chest suddenly deflated, and this seventh-rank Dao weapon seemed to enter its twilight years all at once.
The drum face vibrated, resonating throughout heaven and earth.
In the world, all Qí niú clan creatures instinctively raised their heads and looked toward the direction where the drums came from.
They understand.
The tribal soldiers have orders.
"The fall of the Kui Emperor, my Kui Niu clan is defeated. Now I formally pledge allegiance to the Zhong Shan Clan. All beings may cease fighting and refrain from further bloodshed!"
As soon as the words left his mouth.
The strong warriors of the Kui Niu clan all had faces that were haggard and unsightly.
The Qilin Emperor has fallen!
The Qilin Ox clan is defeated!
This result was hard for them to accept.
From the Zhongshan clan's attack to now, less than a day has passed, and the mighty Kui Niu clan is declared defeated.
However.
Even if these powerful individuals doubted it in their hearts, Kui Gu's words would never be wrong.
Because these are tribal soldiers.
For countless centuries, the Kua Niu clan has been led by its patriarch.
Speaking of status.
Even the present-day Emperor Kui is not perfect.
So.
With the Kui drum's words falling, all the strong members of the Kui Niu clan abandoned resistance.
However.
There are also those who feel unwilling to accept defeat.
He looked at the disciples of the Candle Sect before him, with a look of resentment in his eyes.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
I wanted to take action, but I hesitated because of the other races.
Last.
The mighty warrior roared to the heavens, "Though I die, I shall not yield!"
That said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Flesh explodes.
A god realm cultivator self-destructed on the spot.
"Lord Mayor!"
When the others saw this, they were all filled with grief.
Very soon.
Then, a second strong contender soared into the sky.
“Though the city lord is dead and refuses to surrender, I also refuse to surrender!”
...Then he fell silent.
His body exploded, he died directly from self-destructing again.
One, two...
With the announcement of Kui Drum's allegiance, many powerful warriors from the Kui Niu clan all self-destructed, expressing their determination to die rather than surrender.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But.
They also did not drag the disciples of Zhuzong to die with them.
After all, such actions would lead to the complete extinction of the Kui Niu clan.
Though he would not surrender even in death, he did not wish to see the entire Qilin Ox clan perish along with him at this juncture.
Watching one by one, the powerful self-destruct.
The disciples of the Zhuzong sect looked complex, and the remaining strong members of the Kui Niu clan also wore expressions of grief.
With many strong ones dying in their self-destruction, the remaining Qilin clan remained silent and inactive, apparently acquiescing to this outcome.

Feeling the life force of each individual creature explode.
The kuai drums rumbled on their own.
As a member of the Qilin tribe's soldiers, he was unable to defeat the strong enemy and could only survive in this way.
Allowing other strong individuals to isolate themselves without any means of recourse.
After a long time.
The sound in the kuí drum became hoarse and low.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Are you, the Zhongshan clan, now content"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“Since the Kuiniu clan has declared their allegiance, my Zhongshan clan will honor our promise. From now on, the Kuiniu clan must immediately build an altar to announce their loyalty to heaven and earth. After true allegiance is shown, the Kuiniu clan can keep 30% of their original beliefs."
The remaining 70% shall belong entirely to my Zhongshan clan.
Zhong Shanxia's face had never changed expression.
Racial warfare has never been about morality.
The righteousness of this moment is the cruelty towards one's own kin.
Leaving three-tenths of the faith to the Kui Niu clan was not to push them to a desperate situation, allowing them to serve with peace of mind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Otherwise.
>
He's so one-sided, he couldn't possibly leave room for the other person.
On hearing this.
The sound of the ku drum was calm and deep: "Good!"
Well, here we are.
There's nothing left to say.
He could only agree to all the demands of the Zhōngshān clan.
Otherwise.
The self-destruction of those powerful beings will have no meaning whatsoever.
The Kuai Niu clan is defeated!
Still searching for his ancestry, Shen Changqing's face darkened as soon as he heard the voice.
He didn't expect it.
The Qilin clan actually surrendered so quickly.
Moreover, even the demigod King Kui, who was half a step away from becoming a true god, also perished.
Originally, Shen Changqing wanted to take this opportunity to find the location of the dragon vein and directly dig out the dragon's heart.
Now it's possible.
But there was nothing to be done.
With the surrender of the Qilin clan, everything within heaven and earth had become spoils of war for the Zhongshan clan.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Not permitted.
Even the disciples who were taught directly by the master were not allowed to take even a single copper coin without permission.
This is the rule.
There is no rule that can be broken.
Unless.
One is the emperor of the Zhongshan clan.
Looking at the mountains before him, Shen Changqing struggled for a long time, but in the end he gave up on finding the dragon veins.
Retrieve the military merit medals.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Just looking at the achievement values above, they have skyrocketed from over a hundred points to 2,536.
Upon seeing this.
His complexion looked a little better.
"Well, it's not entirely without gains. Over two thousand battle merits are equivalent to that many Divine Crystals, and besides battle merits, I have other rewards—"
When I thought about it, my mind had already sunk into the storage ring.
There.
There are dozens of Spirit Vein Cores.
Among them, there are a few medium-sized Spirit Vein Hearts, and the rest are all small Spirit Vein Hearts.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Such a large number is entirely due to Shen Changqing's habit of directly extracting spiritual veins whenever he encounters them.
As for the microspirit meridians...
With the spiritual energy density of this world, it's rare to find, so he hasn't encountered it.
In the boundless expanse of space.
A large number of cultivators were fighting.
At the same time.
Above, countless powerful beings clashed, each strike shattering hundreds of thousands of miles of void. Their destructive power surged like waves, crashing in endless succession across all directions.
And this.
This was the battlefield where the Zhongshan clan and the Du shan clan clashed.
Neither clan had invaded the other's territory.

Heaven and earth are the foundation of all races. Once a war breaks out within heaven and earth, regardless of the outcome, there will be tremendous losses afterward.
So.
The two clans fought directly in the vacuum of space.

“Zhong Shanren, you are not my opponent. Fall here!”
As a powerful warrior battled with Zhong Shanren, out of the empty void, a destructive gale suddenly surged. In the next instant, colossal waves materialized from thin air and crashed down upon their opponent with terrifying force.
>
Upon seeing this.
Zhong Shanren's expression remained unchanged.
He opened his mouth and breathed, and a terrifying gust of wind immediately arose.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Two forces collided, forming a hurricane of extreme power.
Before that hurricane, all the waves vanished.
"Du Shan Yuan, in this battle, the only one who will fall is you!"
As they spoke, Zhong Shan Ren directly manifested his true form. A thousand-mile serpent's body writhed, and the instant his eyes closed, the void suddenly plunged into infinite darkness.
"The Abyss of Darkness!"
Having sensed a shift in the void, Du Shan Yuan's expression changed.
He first, shut his eyes, without looking directly at Zhōng Shān Rèn's face.
And then.
Dushan's figure vanished, replaced by a monstrous form resembling a bull. It had a terrifying face with green skin and fangs, standing proudly in mid-air.
"Roar!"
Amidst roars and screams, the void shattered inch by inch, as if something was about to emerge from it.
Very soon.
A mountain peak appeared.
The next moment.
As soon as they saw, a gigantic mountain rose from the void, pressing down heavily on Zhongshan Ren Town.
Looking at the mountain falling.
Zhong Shanren raised his head, the darkness swirling in his eyelids shooting out ghostly light, striking directly at the mountain towering ten thousand zhang.
Two forces collide.
The void shattered once more.
>
Thereafter.
A serpent hundreds of miles long swept out, once again sweeping across the mountain.
A surge of raw power erupted, causing the mountain to split apart.
The colossal mountain was shattered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Dushan Yuan seemed to have suffered some backlash, his aura dimmed somewhat, but he showed no intention of stopping. His power surged, and once again, a mountain materialized from the void.
Boom!
Both are powerful beings who have achieved the perfection of the divine realm. Their full-power clash is, needless to say, earth-shattering.
...and in the depths of the void.
All the strong ones from each clan were also watching this battle silently.
They had no intention of interfering, they were just watching the situation unfold like spectators.
"The Dushan clan truly lives up to its reputation as a branch of the former Mountain Gods. This ability to manipulate mountains and suppress enemies is truly impressive!"
When the powerful outsiders looked at the ten-thousand-zhang mountain, their hearts trembled with awe.
A ten-thousand zhang mountain peak.
>
Just in terms of weight, it's already not something that the ordinary divine realm can withstand.
Now.
Furthermore, empowered by the divine power of a perfected celestial realm, its might is greatly enhanced.
That can be said.
Even if they were beings of the same realm, to withstand this kind of pressure would not be an easy feat.
However.
Not every strongman thinks highly of the Shenshan clan.
Some foreign powerhouses, however, are quite optimistic about the Zhongshan clan.
The Dark Abyss of the Zhōngshān Clan among the Divine King-level innate divine abilities is considered a powerful one. In the past, even Divine King-level experts perished under this kind of divine ability.
Although Zhong Shanren is not at the level of a Divine King and cannot fully unleash the power of the Abyss of Darkness, with his perfect foundation in the Divine Realm, the innate divine abilities he wields are by no means ordinary.
Exchange among the strong.
All of them use the soul as a medium.
On hearing this.
All the powerful beings in the void have fallen silent for a moment.
Indeed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The name Abyss of Darkness, among all the myriad races in the heavens and myriad realms, is not weak.
Divine King-level innate supernatural powers aren't particularly rare, but those capable of killing Divine Kings are few and far between.
As they whispered to each other, the situation shifted rapidly.
Dushan Yuan's strength was indeed formidable, but compared to Zhong Shanren, he was always one step behind.
With their divine abilities unleashed and nearly every card played,
They engaged in a fierce battle.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
In the end, it was Du Shan Yuan who was struck by the serpent's tail, his divine light shattered, and his physical body damaged, ending in defeat.
Seeing this scene.
Even the hidden strong ones couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
“Zhong Shanren is indeed worthy of being the second elder of the Zhu Zong. Even with Di Shan Yuan's strength, which is almost as good as that of a half-step God King, he is still not his opponent.”
It's a pity that the Great Elder of Zhúzōng has long since fallen, otherwise I would have liked to see who could suppress this one!
It's obvious to anyone.
Although Zhōng Shān Rèn is a perfect divine realm, his combat power reaches the heavens. Even a half-step Divine King might not be able to match him.
Such a powerful being, just the second elder of Zhúzong.
Then, one can only imagine just how powerful a person would have to be to qualify as the Grand Elder.
>
He/She spoke and fell silent.
An aged voice rang out.
>Tens of thousands of years ago, after the death of the venerable elder who had fought against the God King, the position of Grand Elder in the Zhuzong remained vacant until a few hundred years ago when Zhong Shan Ba Yue emerged. At that time, Zhuzong intended to give this position to him.
It's a pity that before Zhongshan Ba Yue officially took over, he had already passed away.
Speaking of Zhongshan's defeat.
Many powerful figures who had been secretly observing the battlefield were shaken to their core.
This name, they are not unfamiliar with.
Among all the myriad races in the heavens and earth, those who can fight against a God King at the level of a god are few and far between.
Each powerful being of this level has a considerable reputation among the myriad races in the heavens and worlds.
Hundreds of years ago, Zhongshan Baizuo was just like this.
"If that one hadn't fallen, I fear the Zhōngshān clan would have gained another warrior at the level of a Sun-Moon God King!"
A strongman sighed with emotion.
If the other party succeeds in breaking through, it would be unlikely for them to break through from a Heaven and Earth God King to a Sun and Moon God King within a few hundred years. However, if they were at the realm of a Heaven and Earth God King, there would be a good chance of challenging a Sun and Moon God King across tiers.
Any powerhouse who can slay a God King in the Divine Realm, after breaking through to become a God King themselves, fighting across ranks isn't something strange.
Having heard this.
Other strong people remain silent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
That's right.
If Zhōngshān Báiyuè hadn't died, the Zhōngshān clan would have definitely had one more combatant at the level of a Sun Moon God King.
>
Thousands upon thousands of years later.
The Zhongshan clan will surely gain another fearsome god-king.
That was the time.
The strength of the Zhongshan clan is self-evident.
Fortunately, Zhong Shan Ba Yue's flamboyance ultimately prevented him from truly breaking through and achieving success.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although a god king died alongside their downfall, in the long run, this deal was not a loss.
"Speaking of which, wasn't the one killed by Zhōngshān Báiyuè the Changliuwang deity of the Dǔshān clan"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Hey, it's naturally the Longliu God King. The fall of Zhōngshān Báiyuè in the past, among the gods who besieged him, the Dǔshān clan exerted the greatest effort.”
"In some ways, the two clans have already reached a point of no return."

Du Shan Yuan's massive body flew outwards. His already damaged flesh, facing the onslaught of immense power, cracked even further.
In an instant.
>
He forced himself to steady his stance.
Looking at the impending attack on Zhong Shan Ren, his eyes were filled with a cold killing intent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
To be considered a strong warrior of the Dushan clan, renowned throughout the myriad celestial races, and now to be nearly crippled in full view of everyone.
After today, I'm afraid I'll lose all face.
However.
> Life is more important than face.
Although his heart was filled with murderous intent, Du Shan Yuan chose to retreat for the first time when facing Zhong Shan Ren's attack.
That's all.
He wants to withdraw.
Zhong Shanren would not give him a chance.
At that moment.
Yet, several terrifying forces crashed down from the void.
Zhong Shanren raised his head and saw five towering mountains, each standing in a cardinal direction, forming a grand formation that seemed to suppress the heavens. Its imposing presence directly crushed downwards.
"Help me!"
He did not hesitate and immediately called for help.
In a one-on-one situation, until the very last moment, it's impossible to open your mouth and ask for help in your own right.
But now it's different.
The Dushan clan obviously had several powerful figures interfering. In this situation, holding on would be pointless.
In fact.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
No need for Zhong Shan Ren to speak.
When the strongmen from the Dushan clan attacked from the shadows, the strongmen from the Zhongshan clan were the first to rush to their aid.
"A dignified patriarch of the Dushan clan, being outmatched in a direct confrontation is one thing, but resorting to ambushing his own kin Utterly laughable!"
A mocking laughter echoed through the air as a powerful being stepped through the void, unleashing a devastating palm strike against one of the mountain peaks.
A palm strike as solid as reality collided with the mountain.
Power burst.
>
The ten-thousand-zhang mountain was directly struck and moved aside.
Then.
Another seal rose from below, colliding directly with another towering mountain.
Two forces collided, the seal trembled violently, and it seemed about to fall.
Before the seal could truly fall, a figure stepped out from the void, holding it in one hand. Powerful force surged into it, causing the might of the dao soldiers to skyrocket.
This is a simple paragraph.
"Destroy!"
>
The elder, for the first time ever, wasn't his usual jovial self. His face was grave and his aura commanding.
Under the influence of two forces.
That colossal mountain, towering thousands of meters high, was instantly shattered, more than half of it broken apart.
At the same time.
The seal's power has been depleted.
He held the seal tightly in one hand, his pale gold eyes gazing into the emptiness ahead, his brocade robes fluttering silently.
"I am Zhong Shan Ba, is there anyone from the Shu clan who dares to fight me!"
This text was empty.
“I challenge you!”
The void shattered, and a middle-aged powerhouse emerged from within.
The next moment, he directly manifested the true form of the Dushan Clan, a body resembling that of an ox, with a terrifying visage of blue skin and fangs. It charged forward.
Upon seeing this.
Zhong Shan Bu's face remained unchanged, he didn't even use the main body of the Zhong Shan clan. He clenched the seal in his right hand and suddenly threw it out. The palm-sized seal transformed into thousands of zhang in size, as if trying to completely suppress the opponent.
"Wind comes!"
That powerful warrior's sea of consciousness was shaken, and within the void, a hurricane capable of destroying heaven and earth had already appeared.
