The Vermilion Bird Emperor versus the Western Pole Heavenly Venerate Water Wood!
It wasn't just the Builder Tree Heaven Sacrificial Platform. The entire starry sky around the Builder Tree was their battlefield!
In the sky, there was a boundless flaming phoenix. It was majestic, vast, and righteous. It was the dazzling creation of the world. On the other side was a huge tree that grew in the turbulent seawater!
The two were engaged in an intense battle, and the resulting commotion completely affected the entire Builder Tree! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Endless booms, countless flames, and waves reminded everyone that today was the grand Builder Tree Sacred Battle that happened once every 100,000 years!
It was a battle between the Gods!
The human race against the Phoenix race!
Even the Godly Monarchs were watching nervously. Only Long Chen and the four Sacred Emperors were not. Using the opportunity of their battle, Long Chen said, "The four of you, I have a very good impression of the Phoenix race and have a good relationship with Zhu Xi. Therefore, I won't beat around the bush. I will directly state my purpose for coming to the Builder Tree."
Indeed, he had come with a purpose.
The four Sacred Emperors were naturally very curious, so they listened attentively.
Long Chen said, "This time, I must take away the Builder Tree Sacred Soul. In fact, the Builder Tree Sacred Soul isn't called the Builder Tree Sacred Soul. Its original name is the Origin Dragon Soul. That is something that my race scattered here. It has nothing to do with the Builder Tree."
The four Sacred Emperors were alarmed when they heard that.
They didn't expect that Long Chen's first sentence would scare them.
The Builder Tree Sacred Soul. Wasn't this battle that happened once every 100,000 years for the Builder Tree Sacred Soul?
For countless years, the Builder Tree Sacred Soul had left a very heavy mark in the history of the Builder Tree.
The Phoenix race valued Long Chen very much. Therefore, when they heard that, the Sacred Emperors weren't in a hurry to object. Among them, Emperor Bi Yan asked, "You just said that the Builder Tree Sacred Soul originally belonged to your race, but it ended up here. Then, I want to know which world you are from and which race you are from."
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It's not convenient to say, but I can prove it to the four of you."
The proof was the transformation into a dragon.
Now, all the Divine Kings were focused on the battle between the Vermillion Bird Emperor and the Western Pole Water Wood Heavenly Lord. Long Chen secretly concealed himself and instantly transformed into a divine dragon in front of the four Saint Emperors. As expected, he saw the shocked expressions of the four Saint Emperors. He said solemnly, "Everyone has seen it for yourself. That is my appearance after I transform, just like how you all transform into phoenixes. The bloodline in my body is the same as the Origin Dragon Soul. This is a part of the soul of the ancestor of my race. I came to the myriad worlds to wander in search of the Origin Dragon Soul. Actually, neither you nor the human race can truly use the Origin Dragon Soul. It won't be of much use to you. It really isn't worth it for you to fight for this Divine Wood Saint Soul."
It took the four Saint Emperors a long time to react.
They looked at each other and secretly thought about the pros and cons.
Long Chen continued, "If I obtain the Origin Dragon Soul, I will leave this place. Actually, there is something that all of you still don't know. I have already killed the Blue Flame Saint Venerate and the Demon Saint Venerate. At the same time, the Green Lightning Saint Venerate died in my hands before the Builder Tree Sacred Battle. It's just that the five Heavenly Venerates don't know about it yet. I have already broken the balance between the Phoenix race and the human race. In the future, you don't have to worry about them. I remember that the reason the Phoenix race wants to obtain the Divine Wood Saint Soul is because they are worried that the human race will become stronger and destroy the Phoenix race in the future. Am I right?"
The Green Lightning Saint Venerate.
To the Phoenix race, this was indeed great news.
The four Saint Emperors took a deep breath.
"That's right, the Builder Tree Saint Soul is useless to us. The reason why we want to snatch it is because we are afraid that the Human Race will grow stronger. My Phoenix Race loves peace and is tired of war. Everything we do is to protect ourselves. If you take away the Builder Tree Saint Soul, then the Human Race will never be able to obtain it. To be honest, we won't have to worry about the Builder Tree Saint Soul that happens every 100,000 years. If it really belongs to you, then there's no harm in letting you go. However, you said that this is a deal, so we can help you obtain the Builder Tree Saint Soul.
They had already decided.
Both of them coincided with each other.
"As long as one of their Heavenly Venerates dies, the human race won't be able to recover their peak power for at least a few million years. They won't be able to invade the Phoenix race, and the Builder Tree will be able to maintain a long period of peace. The mortals will also be able to live and work in peace."
Long Chen had seen so many gods and demons. To be honest, the gods of the Phoenix race in front of him were the only ones who would think for the mortals. Although they should have changed the Sky Swallowing Race … it was very likely that the things that their race valued the most in the past were still deeply imprinted in them.
Hence, this made Long Chen respect them.
The Phoenix race was indeed different from the Builder Tree people. They fought for peace, while the Builder Tree people wanted to unify the world and the Builder Tree.
Hence, the peace of the Builder Tree needed the Phoenix race to be stronger than the human race.
But they couldn't be too strong, or else the mortals of the human race would have no room for survival.
The best state of balance might be … to let the human race have one less Heavenly Venerate.
This way, the Phoenix race would still be afraid of the human race, and the human race wouldn't dare to invade the Phoenix race.
The reason why Long Chen didn't want to steal the Divine Wood Saint Soul was that he was afraid of breaking the balance between the two races. If it caused the deaths of billions of lives, that would be his sin.
A Heavenly Venerate just happened to be Long Chen's limit.
"Alright, but you have to promise me that after this battle, the Phoenix Clan will not invade the Human Clan of the Building Tree Clan, and they will not attack the mortals. If I come back in the future, and I see the people in misery and suffering, we will no longer be friends."
Hearing this, the four Saint Emperors laughed.
They were all people of the same path.
"Don't worry, if we invade the human race and cause mortals to be in misery and suffering, when you come back, we will personally send our heads to you."
This transaction was happily completed just like that.
Time was very short. Just as the battle between the Vermillion Bird Emperor and the West Pole Water Wood Heavenly Venerate reached its climax, the four Saint Emperors were already making arrangements.
"Little Zhu Xi, you and the other Godly Kings will immediately return to the Phoenix race when you hear my command. Guard the territory of the Phoenix race."
The four Saint Emperors had already secretly issued orders. The Builder Tree people hadn't noticed the changes on Long Chen's side. Suddenly, Long Chen flew into the starry sky and headed in the direction of the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace. At the same time, he turned around and said loudly, "Aren't the Heavenly Venerates curious as to why the Green Lightning Holy Venerate hasn't arrived yet?"
Hearing this, even the battle between the Vermillion Bird Emperor and the West Pole Water Wood Heavenly Venerate came to an abrupt halt. The Heavenly Venerates had a bad premonition as they stared at Long Chen with wide eyes filled with thick killing intent.
Long Chen's body flashed and three people appeared around him. They were Lingxi, Mo Xiaolang, and Soyeon.
"Let me introduce them to the Heavenly Venerates. They are my wife, brother, and sister. I believe the Heavenly Venerates should be very familiar with them."
There shouldn't be a need for Lingxi and Soyeon in this battle. Long Chen let them show their faces before going back to rest. Only Mo Xiaolang was left to accompany him. In previous battles, he had also cooperated with Mo Xiaolang. The two of them had the most tenacious vitality.
When these three people appeared, it was a huge commotion for the Builder Tree Divine Race.
The eyes of the five Heavenly Venerates almost popped out of their sockets.
As expected, the Indigo Flame Holy Venerate and the Demon Holy Venerate had fallen because of Long Chen. They had their suspicions before, but they had been deceived by Long Chen. Now that the truth was revealed, and it was Long Chen, not to mention the Heavenly Venerates, even the other gods were furious. Especially since Long Chen had mentioned the matter of the Green Lightning Holy Venerate.
"It's really you. Bastard, where's Green Lightning?"
The Heavenly Venerates couldn't believe it. If Green Lightning Holy Venerate was going to be killed, he would at least send a message for help. Long Chen had always been in the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace and hadn't had the chance to kill Green Lightning Holy Venerate. As for the other three, they weren't that terrifying.
Their minds were in a mess.
At this moment, a Lightning Holy Tree appeared in Long Chen's hand.
"Green Lightning Holy Venerate is here." Long Chen showed the Lightning Holy Tree to the Builder Tree Divine Race.
To the Builder Tree Divine Race, only when they died would their Life Tree fall and be obtained by others. This almost meant that Green Lightning Holy Venerate was already dead.
So when they saw the Lightning Holy Tree, the Heavenly Venerates felt like they had been struck by lightning. Their minds went blank.
They had painstakingly nurtured a genius that dominated the Builder Tree.
Just like that … he was gone.
This was a monstrous enmity. The value of Green Lightning Holy Venerate couldn't be compared to the other nine Holy Venerates combined.
They were all trembling in their hearts.
When they saw the Lightning Holy Tree, they knew that the Builder Tree Sacred War was just bullshit. What they wanted the most now was to kill Long Chen, regardless of whether the Phoenix Race's five Saint Emperors intercepted them.
"Move."
At this moment, the five Saint Emperors gave the order.
The God Kings of the Phoenix Race hurriedly returned to their territory. Although they didn't know what the five Saint Emperors wanted to do, they were overjoyed to see that even Green Lightning Holy Venerate had died in the hands of Long Chen. After all, Green Lightning Holy Venerate had been a huge threat all these years. Things like 'hunting' were naturally innumerable.
How many living beings had died under his cruelty?
A great battle erupted.
It wasn't the Builder Tree Sacred War. It was a battle that was even bigger than the Builder Tree Sacred War.
When the five Heavenly Venerates roared and rushed over, wanting to tear Long Chen apart, the five Saint Emperors intercepted them. An all-out battle had begun.
Five Saint Emperors against four Heavenly Venerates.
Long Chen put away the Lightning Holy Tree, exchanged a glance with Mo Xiaolang, and headed in the direction of the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace.
Why were there four Heavenly Venerates?
That was because the five Saint Emperors had followed Long Chen's instructions and left out a Heavenly Venerate. That Heavenly Venerate had chased after Long Chen. That Heavenly Venerate was the South Pole Heavenly Venerate that Long Chen had designated.
Endless flames swept towards Long Chen.
The original plan of the five Saint Emperors was for one of the Saint Emperors and Long Chen to fight against the South Pole Heavenly Venerate together. However, Long Chen had rejected it, saying that he alone could do it.
The five Saint Emperors were looking forward to seeing why Long Chen was so confident.
The South Pole Heavenly Venerate was a candidate to fall.
It could be said that it would be easy for the five of them to fight against four.
This situation was what Long Chen had been waiting for.
