My Fury Will Burn The Heavens

Chapter 1720: We're all of the Same Roots

The Azure Supreme Thearch was a distance from the Azure Supreme Thearch City, about five million kilometers away. He traveled extremely quickly. In fact, fewer than three people in the entire Primordial World was faster than him.

Even so, he needed at least five minutes to arrive, and this was with the help of his instant shift mystical ability, which only Thearch-Ranked martial artists could use. If he depended on flying, he would need at least ten minutes.

Five minutes was a very short time, but it was enough for Jiang Yi to go on a killing spree. He did not pay any attention to the attacks coming at him from all directions. The Heavenly Wind Armor and his Pseudo Thearch-Ranked physical body could protect him from death. Those King-Ranked martial artists kept coming at him, but at the very most, they could only injure him.

He did not want to be held back by these King-Ranked martial artists. Of course, if anyone dared to block his front, his mummy would strike them. Then, he would continue advancing forward. He knew he did not have that much time. He wanted to kill the entire army of soldiers and scatter the Azure Supreme Thearch City with corpses.

He had a lot of five-colored Merged Flames in his ninth star sphere, but in such a short time, he nearly finished all of it. It was a two-million-strong army. In addition to about twenty million civilians, the entire Azure Supreme Thearch City was filled with people. The civilians were panicking and trying to escape in all directions while the soldiers were charging towards Jiang Yi. This made the entire city even more chaotic.

Just before the Azure Supreme Thearch's two eyes congealed, close to half the two-million-strong army had already been killed. Now, after tens of rounds of attacks, hundreds of thousands more were either severely injured or burnt to death. While there were tens of King-Ranked martial artists at first, less than twenty remained. On top of that, close to five million civilians in the city had already perished. This was the toll because Jiang Yi was not targeting any civilians; otherwise, more than ten million civilians would have perished by now.

These civilians did not have strong battle skills; that was why they were being referred to as civilians.

In actual fact, they were not true civilians. Why else would they be allowed to stay in Azure Supreme Thearch City? These people were the clansmen of great family clans, who were slaves to the Dao Clan and the Azure Supreme Thearch. There were more than three hundred great family clans in the city. All of them resided in Azure Supreme Thearch City because they thought that it was the safest place to live in the world. They never expected that a calamity like this would befall them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than three minutes passed, but the massacre was still happening. Jiang Yi's eyes were bloodshot. He could not afford to care too much about anything else. He looked almost completely demonized and crazed by now. Wherever he saw people charging at him, he would rush towards them and deal attacks without aiming. He only had one thought in his mind: he wanted to kill everyone in this city so that the Azure Supreme Thearch would be hit where it hurt the most.

The Azure Supreme Thearch could arrive at any moment. No matter how big the world was, there was no way he would be able to escape. The Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch was still in a deep sleep. So what if he woke up? All that was left of him was his remnant soul. It was already amazing enough that this remnant soul could remain in Stellarsky Domain for a million years without dissipating. He later even managed to help Jiang Yi kill off a Netherworld General and set up a big array formation. Even if his soul was awakened, the Azure Supreme Thearch would probably be able to completely ignore him and slaughter Jiang Yi in a fit of anger!

Since the Azure Supreme Thearch could instruct Dao Nu to do all he could to kill Jiang Yi, it was obvious that he did not care much for his identity as the Heavenly Thearch's successor. This showed that the Azure Supreme Thearch was not loyal to the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch. Perhaps the Azure Supreme Thearch would have submitted to the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch while the latter was alive, but now that the latter was dead, he would no longer be able to stop the Azure Supreme Thearch.

Boom!

Jiang Yi was hit by a beam of light, which sent him flying from the palm of the mummy's hand. He crashed into a castle, but he quickly rebounded. He shook his head as fresh blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.

His head was throbbing, but the shock seemed to have awoken him. His eyes were no longer flashing red. He looked around at what had become of the Azure Supreme Thearch City and saw the remnants of the tall castles that once stood. For some reason, a wave of sadness overcame him. Perhaps this was because heJiang Yiwas about to be buried here!

He did not continue attacking the people around him. It was almost as if he was tired, exhausted numb from all the killing.

He paused in midair and looked at the corpses littered around the city. A realization washed over him. Was he right or wrong to kill in this manner? Should he continue?

The Phantom King, Earth Emanations Sovereign, and Wintry Sovereign's death message, the Azure Supreme Thearch's plotting against him all of these filled him with anger and indignance. Now, all of those feelings had been vented. The killing intent that filled his heart just minutes ago had eased up.

"Forget it, forget it, forget it! Everyone, stop attacking me! I don't want to kill anymore!"

He suddenly shouted, keeping the mummy. He flew up to the top of a castle and sat down, surveying the surroundings with his ice-cold gaze. He looked at the formidable martial artists from the Dao Clan, who looked prepared to strike. In a cool tone, he shouted, "Those of you who want to continue fighting, do you believe that I would be able to kill hundreds of thousands more people before the Azure Supreme Thearch gets here? Do you think you pieces of trash would be able to kill me?"

The people who had been prepared to attack him immediately stopped. Their expressions were filled with fury and sadness, but they knew that Jiang Yi was telling the truth. They did not dare to move again. As long as Jiang Yi did not try to escape, they could be certain that he would perish once the Azure Supreme Thearch arrived.

Jiang Yi looked extremely tired and exhausted. It was almost as if he knew that he would die in the end anyway. Whether he killed more or fewer people, it meant nothing to him anymore.

He hung his head low and grabbed his hair with both of his hands, and his face crumbled. After keeping silent for several seconds, he suddenly looked up and laughed mockingly. As he scanned the soldiers and formidable martial artists below, he looked sorrowful. "Why? Why? Why is this happening? The human race is on the brink of destruction, and yet we just keep killing one another.

"The world is hanging by a thread, and we are all about to be destroyed. Yet, here we are, having a civil war for the fun of it. Who can tell me which one of us is in the wrong: me, Dao Nu, or that old dogthe Azure Supreme Thearch? Is the existence of this world a mistake in the first place?"

No one answered Jiang Yi's question. Many people did not even bother to think about it, but a minority became pensive. Of course, this minority quickly tutted mockingly as well. Jiang Yi had committed so many heinous crimes. Now that the Azure Supreme Thearch was on his way, was he trying to act sorrowful?

Perhaps to them, Jiang Yi had been in the wrong from the very beginning. Dao Nu, Dao N, and Dao Leng would always be right the Azure Supreme Thearch all the more so!

"Sigh"

"We're all of the same roots. Why are we so eager to annihilate one another?"

He sighed sorrowfully but said nothing more. Just like that, he sat in silence on top of the castle, waiting for the Azure Supreme Thearch waiting for death.

"That's right: we're all of the same roots. Why are we so eager to annihilate one another?"

All of a sudden, a gentle female voice cut through the silence in the city. That female voice seemed to be coming from the sky and from the ground at the same time. It caused Jiang Yi's body to shiver.

"Jiang Yi, I did not want to save you at first because your killing intent was too powerful. You've killed so many innocent lives and committed a grave sin. However, the fact that your conscience was disturbed shows that you are still good-natured. I will make an exception and save you this once. I hope I am not wrong about you this time. I hope I will not bring bigger calamity unto the Primordial World."

The moment the voice finished speaking, a huge crack appeared in the Azure Supreme Thearch City. A huge tree root shot out from underground, wrapping around Jiang Yi and pulling him under.

"Uh?"

The formidable martial artists of the Dao Clan jumped and immediately became furious. Each of them began to deal their attacks, but the tree root was moving too quickly. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yi had been swallowed underground. He was nowhere to be seen.

"Qing Ling, do you dare?"

A huge roar echoed from the west. The Azure Supreme Thearch's shout could be heard even from five hundred thousand kilometers away. "Qing Ling, you are waging war against the human race by doing this. Would a mere demon like you dare to interfere in such matters? If you dare to rescue Jiang Yi, I will make sure I dice you into pieces!"
