Chapter 416 - The Dazzling Ancestral Star (1/2)

The moment the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body rose into the world, the whole West Barren trembled in fear. The three-headed Pan Ao's divine aura filled the sky, and his heads raised high, its mad bellows shuddering the clouds into mist!

His divine aura became stronger as his shouts grew louder, slowly filling every corner of the celestial land!

The sudden change that occurred in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race was truly a world shocking incident!

At this point, the lively West Barren had turned dead quiet, and every celestial race had stopped their activity to stare in the direction of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. All of a sudden, a shabby celestial temple in the Shan Shen Celestial Race started to glimmer, and mountain rocks rolled to above the celestial temple before forming the body of a godly figure. The mighty Shan Shen rose high in the Shan Shen Celestial Race, surging out his godly aura to fight off the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's godly aura from the Shan Shen territory!

This was a mountain god of the Shan Shen Celestial Race that lived a hermit lifestyle. His celestial temple was in a poor and remote spot; it was one of the celestial temples that had been mostly neglected. Even the Shan Shen high priest was shocked, he was completely oblivious of the existence of a living god in his own race, or that the Shan Shen mountain god would take the form of a statue in a dilapidated temple.

However, in stark contrast, this Shan Shen mountain god's divine aura was too weak in the face of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor; one was a candlelight, whereas the other was a bright moon.

Then, in the next second, a burst of godly aura came from the territory of the Shen Ya Celestial Race.

At the Zhu Yan Celestial Race, a 10,000 feet tall Zhu Yan celestial being stood tall above the ground. His head pierced through the layers of clouds as he let out a loud roar.

And in the Zhu Jian Celestial, an old man who was sweeping the leaves out from the celestial temple suddenly threw the broom in his hands away. His body then morphed into one from the Zhu Jian Celestial Race with a boar's head, human's body, and ox's tail. A godly aura emanated from his mortal body, and a ferocious roar blasted out from his mouth. The jaws of the surrounding Zhu Jian priests dropped as they stared in disbelief at the old man who had just transformed into a god.

At the Bi Fang Celestial Race's sacred land, the clouds were fire red in color above in the sky, and there was a precipice that pierced into the cloud layer. At the bottom of the precipice, the Bi Fang disciples that were in groups of hundreds were quietly cultivating there as usual. All of a sudden, the mountain body was cleaved open, and a Bi Fang celestial walked out. He stood on only one leg and suddenly, it spread out its wings, protecting the whole Bi Fang Celestial Race.

There was then the Kui Long Celestial Race, a cow-dragon creature flew out from the volcanic underground, his godly aura was strong, and the rumbling sound of drums accompanied his movements!

While in the Bi Yu Celestial Race, two Bi Yi birds flew out into the sky. These two birds only had one wing each. All of a sudden, they had flown into one another, merging into a celestial being with a bird's head and a human's body.

...

...

Zhong Yue was still in the territory of the Ming She Celestial Race, and his face drastically changed as he felt the billowing godly auras.

"This … are the gods piqued by the anger of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, and they had no choice but to stand out to warn him?"

Zhong Yue stared vacantly at the ongoing mess while he mumbles, "This is getting out of control…"

Gu Hongzi's face was also solemn, he then answered in a low voice, "It's not only getting out of control, but things are devolving into the worst possible scenario. These gods have stood out because of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, they have appeared to secure the safety and fortunes of their own races, but as this goes on, it will trigger a chain reaction!"

"Chain reaction?"

Zhong Yue was startled, just as he was going to ask more about the chain reaction, loud and clear voices of worship rang beside their ears. These voices came from the saint mountain beside them, the Ming She disciples were kneeling on the ground and chanted their worship around the saint mountain. Then, a godly spirit emerged above the saint mountain.

The godly spirit has the head and tail of a snake, the body of a human, and four wings. The godly spirit then raised his hand up, and a divine weapon flew into the Ming She celestial being's hand, it was a halberd shining in godly rays.

Meanwhile, the beneath it was also trembling violently, a divine weapon then flew up and disassembled into pieces as it headed toward the godly spirit. The disassembled pieces then attached themselves to the body of the godly spirit, turning into a divine armor and further strengthening the godly spirit's aura!

Shan Shen, Zhu Yan, Shen Ya, Gui Shen, and the other greater celestial races had their own respective living gods, they could stand out to warn the West Barren of their powers, but the Ming She Celestial Race was not that strong, it didn't have a living god but only the spirit of a god. However, after tens of thousands of years of worship, in addition to the Ming She Celestial Race's divine weapons, he was exactly just like a living god!

Zhong Yue's heart was thumping in shock as the ancient godly spirits emerged within the celestial temples one after another in the West Barren. The divine weapons were awakened, and the chants of worship resounded throughout all of the celestial races, powering the divine weapons to unleash their full power!

Even the celestial races that had waned, and had only fewer than a hundred clansmen, had a godly spirit and divine weapons!

It was truly out of everyone's imaginations. The whole West Barren was filled with thousands of godly spirits, thousands of divine weapons, filling up the whole place!

Such godly auras were immense, suppressing on the livings in the West Barren in fear and even the Qi Practitioners could feel their arcane energy, Yuan Shen and psyche being suppressed and some were even partially sealed!

Zhong Yue stifled an agonized groan, he could not fly in the sky anymore and crashed into the ground, creating a hole in the earth's surface.

This was the chain reaction that Gu Hongzi was talking about!

A spark of fire that lit the whole grasslands ablaze!

Furthermore, it was not only the West Barren that was set to burn, but even the East Barren, North Barren, South Barren, Great Wilderness, and as half of the world was also set alight, even the Eastern Sea saw the signs of being set on fire.

The dragon race's reaction then caused the demon race to be triggered as well!

The whole Ancestral Star was filled with godly auras; the many gods that had found their peace and lived a hermit life had no choice but to stand out. The godly spirits, demon spirits, divine weapons, and even the saint weapons were all galvanized!

The scenery was spectacular, and not a single word could Zhong Yue describe what he saw!
