Dragon-Marked War God

An old legend says that once the Gate of the Divine Court is opened, the road to hell will become a vast sea, and countless demons and devils will walk out along the road to hell.

But was this really just a legend?

In the Divine Tomb, in the far north, graves and mausoleums that had always been perfectly still all began to tremble at this moment. It was as though the whole Divine Tomb had become extremely agitated, and no one knew what had happened.

From the graves, one skeleton-like figure after another slowly crawled out. Countless demonic clouds gathered above the graves, and bolts of lightning sprang up out of nowhere. The demonic clouds turned from black to red and from red to purple, and streaks of light appeared over these graves. Amid the blurred light and shadow, soul after soul shot out of the tombstones, as if trying to break free of their bonds.

A hunchbacked old man coughed softly twice. His pale face was as withered as ever, his features extremely haggard. No one knew what he was thinking behind his clouded eyes.

“The world is about to lose its peace again. An era, it’s almost another era, and you still won’t stay at peace.”

The hoarse voice was full of helplessness and sorrow. The old man seemed extremely indignant as he watched so many corpses and divine souls in the tombs keep rising. Yet although he sighed in his heart, he silently watched all of it like an outsider.

…………

Myriad Saints Mountain, behind the Gate of the Divine Court.

“This roar is really eerie. What exactly is it?”

Jiang Chen frowned deeply, his expression extremely grave. He could feel the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Myriad Qi Cauldron inside him trembling more and more violently. That roar was like an untamed wild horse, frantically trying to break loose, smash its shackles and finally roam the Nine Heavens.

“There couldn’t still be some Divine Clan or Demon Clan being from ancient times surviving inside this Gate of the Divine Court, could there?”

Yu Jingxian said cautiously, afraid her words would come true. But her worry was not unfounded. Earlier, the ancient Ancestral God of Humanity, Fuxi, had manifested his soul body. Although he had vanished without a trace in an instant, it was enough to show how unusual this place behind the Gate of the Divine Court was.

“It’s very likely someone of the Demon Clan.”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice. His guess was not groundless. The Black Burying Flag seemed to be the core of a huge sealing formation. Once the Black Burying Flag was removed, the whole Five Finger Mountain began to quake, and even the statue of the Ancestral God Fuxi kneeling on one knee had completely shattered. But Jiang Chen felt that it was not the real Ancestral God Fuxi, just a thread of the Ancestral God Fuxi’s divine will. He must have fallen back in ancient times. Otherwise, the thread of divine will he left behind would not have vanished so hastily.

Beneath this enormous mountain range was probably an ancient giant demon that he had sealed and suppressed. And this roar was very likely coming from beneath the earth, from within the mountain rock.

“Hahaha, could it be an ancestor of my Demon Clan? It looks like our Demon Clan is going to rule this land after all. Your Forbidden Divine Clan should vanish like smoke.”

Louis Tianchen laughed wildly. One deafening roar after another, filled with endless fury and arrogance, seemed to be frantically charging up from beneath the earth, trying to rise.

“Damned bastard.”

At this time Songzan Kangying was a little worried too, because the Ancestral God Fuxi had warned him not to pull out the Black Burying Flag under any circumstances, yet in the end Louis Tianchen had pulled it out.

The mountains collapsing and the earth splitting all came from this. Although Songzan Kangying did not want to believe it, he could not deny that a towering demonic qi was surging frantically up from beneath the earth, rising straight into the sky.

“Brother Songzan, what do we do?”

“That’s right, could there really be an ancient giant demon suppressed under this Five Finger Mountain?”

“We’re all in deep trouble now. If a giant demon really comes out, I’m afraid we’re really done for.”

The faces of the three were full of shock and terror. They might very well die, and even more terrifying, the Forbidden Divine Clan might be completely wiped out. If an ancient giant demon really came out from under this Five Finger Mountain, the few of them would be sinners against the whole world.

“That bastard pulled out the Black Burying Flag. Only by taking it back might we be able to stop all of this.”

Songzan Kangying said in a low voice, his gaze falling on the Black Burying Flag. Right now the Black Burying Flag was the only thing that could suppress all this, and their only hope.

How could Louis Tianchen not see what Songzan Kangying was thinking? The Black Burying Flag was definitely the core of the suppression of this Five Finger Mountain. Otherwise, pulling out the Black Burying Flag would not have made the mountain collapse and thrown all five directions into chaos.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and silently gazed at the Five Finger Mountain. The roar beneath the mountain was getting more and more piercing and more and more soul-shaking. He knew he had to make a move. If some unmatched ancient giant demon really came out from beneath the earth, the world might truly fall into chaos and living beings would suffer. Jiang Chen was not sure, and he did not want to gamble either. If he lost, countless people would suffer for it. The ancient ancestral god had cared so much that he had absolutely forbidden descendants like Songzan Kangying from pulling out the Black Burying Flag. That alone showed that what was suppressed beneath the earth was definitely no easy foe.

“Do you dare to take a gamble with me? Let’s go grab the Black Burying Flag together.”

Jiang Chen looked at Yu Jingxian.

“Are you crazy? If you make a move now, they’ll beat you to death.”

Yu Jingxian looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously. Had this guy gone mad from wanting a divine weapon?

“If we don’t plant the Black Burying Flag back and reseal the monster beneath the earth, we might all die.”

Jiang Chen gave Yu Jingxian a heavy look. Yu Jingxian was stunned for a moment. It seemed she had wronged him. By the look of it, things were not as simple as she had imagined. The Five Finger Mountain was already shaking as if the earth and mountains were moving, and it might completely split apart at any moment. Once the demon beneath the earth came out, the world would fall into chaos.

“Help me lure that guy. Pretend to fight him, and I’ll snatch his Black Burying Flag.”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

“Are you sure? We really won’t end up as cannon fodder?”

Yu Jingxian said with lingering fear. They were at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, and facing these Divine Emperor Realm experts was extremely dangerous. On top of that, Jiang Chen wanted to snatch the Black Burying Flag from Louis Tianchen’s hand. That was simply a fantasy.

“With Songzan Kangying there, we have a chance. Louis Tianchen can barely look after himself right now.”

Jiang Chen sneered. With no time to say more, he struck quickly, and Yu Jingxian did not dare to be slow either. The two of them had a very clear goal: to snatch the Black Burying Flag from Louis Tianchen’s hand.

“Scum of the Demon Clan, die!”
