Chapter 952: Divine Arrival

This dragon, coiled in the firmament, exerts an aura that suppresses all ages.

Its body is like a galaxy, brimming with vital energy. Scales cover its entire body, each one resembling a meticulously polished gem, shimmering with mysterious light.

These scales are dense and tightly arranged, forming an impenetrable armor.

Its head is even more majestic, seemingly forged from the essence of heaven and earth. Its eyes are like brilliant stars, filled with profound depth and wisdom, capable of discerning all things in the world.

Its sharp teeth inspire awe, and its long, flowing whiskers, like golden ribbons, add an ethereal touch.

Most striking are its dragon horns!

Two long horns curve backward from its forehead, seemingly guiding direction and leading its kin forward.

With its appearance, the entire world trembles!

Mystery, majesty, and power define it at this moment!

In every direction, apart from the Heavenly Dao formed by the Great Seal, the other four Heavenly Daos prostrate themselves.

This is the Heavenly Dao of the human race. Because of its slumber, the innate abilities of humanity also fell dormant. Now, amidst the calls of human fate, will, and bloodline, and the drumstick formed from the Ancient Territory Map striking the Mountain River War Drum, it has been awakened.

The world is shaken.

At once, the prostrating Heavenly Daos blurred and retreated. The Human Race's Great Seal hummed and shimmered as it drifted towards the Golden Dragon.

It was swallowed by the Golden Dragon in one gulp, absorbed into its body!

Originally, this seal resided within the Golden Dragon; it had merely been expelled due to its slumber long ago.

Now, they reunite!

The Heavenly Dao Golden Dragon's aura surged once more, exuding immense power as it slowly circled above the Human Race's Imperial Capital.

The people of the Imperial Capital gasped.

Xu Qing’s heart also stirred. He looked up at the colossal seven-clawed Golden Dragon, gaining a deeper understanding of the human race’s past glory.

The Human Emperor, eyes gleaming, suddenly spoke.

"Xu Qing, strike it one more time!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing didn't hesitate. After taking a deep breath, he gathered all his strength and struck the final blow.

The moment the sixth drumbeat echoed through heaven and earth, his entire body trembled. Cracking sounds emanated as countless fissures appeared all over him.

These marks didn't look like fresh wounds; they seemed more like old scars!

They spread across Xu Qing's body, as if he had once been shattered and then reassembled.

But at this moment, under the influence of the drumbeat, those fissures truly began to heal!

As they healed, a warmth spread throughout Xu Qing's body, and a sense of completeness diffused even more profoundly.

Xu Qing’s heart jolted. He felt the cracks on his body, wounds that were unfamiliar to him.

But in the next instant, the image of a stitched-up rag doll appeared in his mind...

However, time did not allow Xu Qing to ponder much. As the sixth drumbeat spread, the seven-clawed Golden Dragon in the firmament let out a roar that echoed in the hearts of all humanity!

This roar illuminated the night, echoing within everyone's hearts, seemingly breaking certain shackles and shattering specific restraints, awakening a hidden essence slumbering within their bloodlines!

Gasps of astonishment immediately erupted from many people in the Imperial Capital!

Some even began to glow intensely, their aura subtly amplified and significantly strengthened, their bodies expanding!

They transformed into giants of varying heights, some towering hundreds of feet, others tens of feet tall.

Astonishing physical power surged within them like a raging ocean!

This scene made everyone gasp. Some elderly officials, well-versed in ancient texts, cried out in a daze.

"The human race's innate ability..."

"Spirit Ancestor Transformation."

The human race possesses innate abilities.

Today, this innate ability, awakened by the seven-clawed Golden Dragon's resurgence and its roar, was unleashed from the human bloodline!

The Holy Land's second wave of counterattack was thus resolved!

On the Empress, the divine fluctuations intensified, and the sacred fire of the Ancient Emperor Star burned even more fiercely!

But at this moment, a cold snort suddenly descended from the firmament, striking the human realm like a series of heavenly thunderclaps, rumbling across the sky!

There are five powerful ancient races.

Apart from the top two dominant races, the remaining three were once comparable in strength: the Blazing Moon Profound Heaven Tribe, the Scorched Earth Great Luo Tribe, and the Underworld Abyssal Bone Tribe.

Now, as the cold snort reverberated, a sea of fire swept across the firmament, directly engulfing the sky, so that all who looked up saw only crimson flames!

And from this sea of fire, a deity emerged!

This deity wore a fiery red robe, like a burning flame itself. Exquisite flame patterns embroidered on the robe showcased his identity and glory!

His height was astonishingly colossal, like a towering mountain. His broad shoulders seemed capable of carrying the entire world, and his hair was as crimson as fire, resembling lava erupting from a volcano!

His wild, passionate hair swayed gracefully with his steps, forming myriad vivid images.

His expression was aloof, his eyes devoid of any emotion, yet confidence and composure were exceptionally evident in his demeanor, as if he could crush anything before him!

He was the God of Blazing Fire, one of the three deities of the Scorched Earth Great Luo Tribe.

"The human race shall not become gods!"

His words, imbued with divine decree, reverberated from his mouth, becoming a command that imprinted itself upon heaven and earth, falling upon the Empress, covering the sacred fire of the Ancient Emperor Star and the heads of the human emperors' remains!

In an instant, the sacred fire dimmed, and the spiritual vitality of the human emperors' remains wavered!

This was a divine law, transcending all other laws!

Simultaneously, in the western sky, an ink-black night spread in an instant, splitting the human realm's sky in two!

Within the darkness, countless skeletal remains piled up like mountains, collapsing and emitting an unending stench. Horrifying alien matter, coupled with astounding divine power, descended upon the mortal world!

Upon the remains, a deity existed!

This deity had no human form; it was entirely a mass of rotting flesh, beneath countless layers of mucus, teeming with numerous eyes. As it appeared, all eyes turned towards the Empress!

Terrifying fluctuations erupted from its body!

Under its divine might, the seven-clawed Golden Dragon roared, and the human realm's sky grew hazy, like a mist of doomsday, shrouding the world!

"The Scorched Earth Great Luo Tribe, the Underworld Abyssal Bone Tribe," the Empress stated calmly.

In the next instant, the God of Blazing Fire took a step, and the fires of heaven and earth erupted, rushing directly towards the Empress!

From the western darkness, an instant deluge occurred, with countless skeletal remains tumbling in mid-air, forming a colossal mass of flesh nearing the Empress!

A divine battle was about to erupt!

But just then, a bright moon rose at the boundary between the darkness and the sea of fire. Moonlight streamed down upon the land, creating an astonishing power; wherever it passed, the sea of fire rolled back, and the darkness melted away!

From the moonlight, a deity emerged!

Of immortal beauty, yet as cold as ice!

It was none other than the Lunar Flame God, one of the three deities of the Blazing Moon Tribe!

After its appearance, stars twinkled across the firmament, and countless rays of starlight descended, accompanied by a soft chuckle, converging in mid-air to form a clay fox!

Seated atop the fox's head was another deity!

Incredibly alluring and utterly charming!

Naturally, it was the Astral Flame God!

The moment they appeared, these two flawless deities positioned themselves before the sea of fire and the darkness, blocking their advance!

"Who said the human race cannot become gods!"

The Astral Flame God smiled, and the instant the words left her mouth, the divine decree imprint previously formed by the God of Blazing Fire began to tremble!

"They can," the Lunar Flame God stated calmly.

In a flash, the imprint shattered into countless fragments. The sacred fire on the Ancient Emperor Star blazed brighter once more, and the spiritual vitality of the human emperors' remains surged anew!

Only the Empress, from beginning to end, remained unperturbed!
