Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 1448: Chapter 58 Heading East

The scalding fresh blood almost dyed the dark sea entirely.

The thick fog cleared at once.

The long-missed sunlight pierced the clouds, falling upon the half-submerged Bronze Giant City in the sea.

Large patches of fresh blood were etched on the broken and mottled city walls.

The Bronze Giant City, silently and noiselessly, witnessed this earth-shattering battle, the end of the lord who unified the Huangji Continent after the split of Qian, and…

“The immortal is dead—”

“True Martial shall ascend the throne!”

Covered in blood, his hair and beard stained with the crimson of blood, an elderly man stood atop the black and red waters with his bronze upper torso exposed.

Looking at Yang Que’s body in front of him, surrounded by Blood Energy, barely intact, eyes still wide with fury and disbelief as if refusing to accept his fate.

The elderly man suddenly raised his arms, which were as veined as large dragons, twisted and turned.

He let out a bellow to the heavens that seemed to vent his anger!

In the sky, a giant Mystic Tortoise phantom made of Blood Energy silently took form, faintly roaring towards the heavens…

As if in response to his roar, Thunder reverberated in the North Sea sky, and after a long absence, a gentle rain began to fall.

Accompanying the elder’s declaration, as though he was announcing to the entire world,

On the sea surface surrounding, on the Bronze Giant City…

Men and women, old and young, emerged with a blend of panic and confusion.

Elderly Class IV True Martial Cultivators looked towards the elder with eyes filled with reverence and frenzy!

Everyone unconsciously drew closer to the figure in the waves, casting their gazes…

The next moment.

Around the Bronze Giant City, an earth-shattering cheer burst forth!

“True Martial shall ascend the throne!”

“True Martial shall ascend the throne!”

“Martial Ancestor is invincible!”

“…”

Everyone was immersed in an unprecedented joy.

The elder raised his arms high, scanning the surroundings, the roar from his mouth unceasing!

Like a peerless War God!

The sea water rolled and slapped against his body, against his face, but at this moment, he could not distinguish whether the water in his eyes was seawater, rainwater, or… tears.

His vision blurred, it was as if he saw two familiar faces.

“Mother, Wen Yin… it’s been a hundred and ninety-three years…”

“I have finally… finally seen hope.”

“You would support me too, wouldn’t you?”

He muttered absent-mindedly.

Very soon.

Numerous aged Class IV True Martial Cultivators, knelt respectfully around the elder, their eyes filled with fervor.

Crying out in unison:

“Martial Ancestor’s might is unparalleled across the world, among many True Martial, only Martial Ancestor shall be honored!”

“Rise!”

The elder’s sharp, eagle-like gaze swept across the kneeling True Martial Cultivators below.

Any hint of softness was instantly put away, leaving only a harsh chill, he barked:

“In the True Martial lineage, we only kneel to the heavens, to the earth, to our parents and teachers, all else is insignificant!”

“I do as well!”

“Everyone, rise!”

Hearing the elder’s words, the True Martial Cultivators around him could not help but show a near-reverential admiration in their eyes.

While the surrounding Class IV True Martial Cultivators did not rise, one of them said with a deep voice:

“Martial Ancestor has saved us from peril, not despising our lowliness, diligently imparting the Method of True Wu; all True Martial followers shall regard Martial Ancestor as our teacher, our reborn parents, kneeling is only right and proper!”

The elder was momentarily startled.

Another person solemnly said:

“Martial Ancestor has slain the Immortal Ascension immortal above the North Sea, with unparalleled prestige, but if we wish to dwell in this corner of the North Sea, I fear the desire for peace will be disrupted by the relentless Wind; please, Martial Ancestor, point out the direction for us…”

“Point out the direction?”

The elder’s gaze swept over the True Martial Cultivators in front of him, who showed him utmost respect, and his resolve, which had been firm, wavered slightly.

Should he really lead the people before him to do that task?

For that goal which might not even be achievable?

“Please, Martial Ancestor, point out the direction for us!”

“Please, Martial Ancestor…”

The voices around him started softly, but as countless voices converged, like streams into the sea, they gradually formed a huge wave, sweeping through the surroundings.

The human heart is like water, soft yet can be the most forceful.

The elder remained silent for a while, and finally made his decision in his eyes.

He slightly lifted his head, gazed at the thin mist in the sky, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and he spoke in a deep voice:

“How long do you plan to watch from there?”

In the mist in the sky, a figure immediately floated out.

The figure had golden hair and eyes like little green beans, which carried a hint of comicality.

It was the Supreme Dragon Transformation who had accompanied Yang Que here.

As soon as he showed up, his face squeezed out a cautious smile, quickly explaining:

“Hehe, don’t misunderstand, we’re not enemies… I’m not the immortal you’re talking about, I’m the True Spirit of Magic Treasure, you can call me ‘Supreme Dragon Transformation’… uh, I was born from a magic treasure used by an immortal, strictly speaking, I also detest the immortals you speak of, so we’re not just not enemies, but friends instead.”

The elder coldly watched the other party.

The Mystic Tortoise phantom, manifested from Blood Energy in the sky, silently retracted, forming a Stage I layer of blood light over his body.

The sensation this individual gave him was not like that foolish one who had been talking to himself just moments ago.

But far more elusive.

Yet the intuition of a True Martial Cultivator still made him extremely wary.

Hearing the other’s explanation, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, scoffing:

“Friends?”

“How do you prove it?”

Supreme Dragon Transformation winked and gestured:

“Just now, the one you killed, if I had wanted to save him, he would have returned to my side the moment you made your move.”
