Chapter 1197: Times And People Have Changed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Two men from the Ancient Six Families were sitting opposite each other outside the Ancestral Mountain Gate. A black-and-white chessboard was between them.
The cultivation of these two men was only at the Universe Grade, and they were considered average among the disciples of the Ancient Six Families.
They had one task, and that was to guard the gate.
Although no one would come to look for the Ancient Six Families in such a remote place, it was still necessary for the Ancient Six Families as a sovereign force to employ guards as lookouts.
The two of them were the hapless guards chosen!
They normally lazed around all day doing nothing, and this boring chore had exhausted the vigor and vitality of the two men. Thus, they had started to play chess to kill time. Even though the senior officials of the Ancient Six Families were well aware of this, no one cared too much about it.
“Back then, we could make the 36 Great Cosmoses of the Human Race fear us, but look what we have become now!” the man with the gloomy face on the left said unhappily. “We are like stray dogs residing in a place like this.”
“Brother Yun, we can talk about this in private, but don’t say this in front of others. If the elders get wind of this, you must be aware of the consequences…”
The man seated on the right had a gentle demeanor and gave off a pleasant vibe. However, his expression had become very stern.
“I know. You’re the only one I can complain to.” Brother Yun, who was gloomy, lamented.
“It’s best not to say anything and bottle it up, but I will feel very uncomfortable if I don’t say it out loud!”
The gentle-looking man smiled once again. “Brother Yu, I know you’re feeling uncomfortable with this. In fact, many more people in our six families are uncomfortable too.”
“Those days, we were not just alone. We also enjoyed rich cultivation resources. Even the 36 Great Cosmoses had to send offerings to us every 100 years.”
“The people in the 36 Great Cosmoses would even follow us around like dogs when we headed out to travel, as if they were afraid that we might not be satisfied with the things going on.”
“But what about now? Everything has changed!”
It seemed as though these words contained boundless power, and the conversation between the two of them came to a sudden halt.
“Lao Jin, do you think our Ancient Six Families will regain their former glory one day?” the mellow-faced man asked faintly.
Obviously, he already had his answer to this question, but he was unwilling to accept the truth so he asked anyway.
“Why can’t we?” the gloomy man called Lao Jin replied. “The Great Era Calamity is just around the corner! Once the calamity arrives and the Great Era is wiped out, this realm will still belong to our Ancient Six Families. Luo Yunyang will surely die!”
Luo Yunyang’s name was like a taboo among the Ancient Six Families. Although countless people in the Ancient Six Families wished to shred him into pieces, many more people were afraid of facing him.
Luo Yunyang was feared like a god of death by many of them!
If Luo Yunyang hadn’t invaded the Ancient Six Families, why would they have been reduced to such a pathetic state?
“Look! Who’s that?” Lao Jin said fearfully as he pointed in the direction ahead of them.
The man known as Brother Yu widened his eyes in shock as soon as he saw the person that had arrived by ripping the void.
Luo Yunyang! He had actually seen Luo Yunyang!
Luo Yunyang, who had arrived unexpectedly, was followed by over a hundred others who were each riding a massive pegasus.
Although he could not guess the cultivation base of these people, he felt as though he was an ant watching a group of divine beings descend upon them the moment he saw the group of soldiers.
This frightened them even more!
“Luo Yunyang is here! Luo Yunyang has arrived. Brother Yu, please delay them for a moment and I will report this right away.” After saying that, Lao Jin took flight and rushed toward the center of the Ancestral Mountain.
The two of them were no fools, as they were Universe-Grade powerhouses of the Ancient Six Families. How could Lao Jin not know what had happened upon seeing his friend flee?
That despicable, shameless coward. How dare he escape first in such a righteous manner!
The fact that his companion had run away meant that he would be left alone to deal with Luo Yunyang. After thinking about it, the gloomy man had an urge to kill Lao Jin immediately!
Just moments ago, the two of them had still been confiding in each other like friends. Now, he had disappeared in an instant.
Naturally, Luo Yunyang had seen Lao Jin escape but didn’t really care about what had happened.
This was because Lao Jin did not deserve Luo Yunyang’s attention at all. He eyed the Ancestral Mountain of the Ancient Six Families while recalling how he, the Da Qian Hall Master, and the rest had attacked the mountain in the past.
Back then, Luo Yunyang had not paid much attention to the Ancestral Mountain that acted like a natural barrier.
“Human Ruler, the Ancient Six Families have already retreated to this wilderness. Are you trying to annihilate the Ancient Six Families by chasing us incessantly?” The voice of the Yun Family Patriarch echoed in the void a short while later.
Although the Yun Family Patriarch sounded enraged, he was only appearing fierce on the surface. He was timid deep down. In fact, he even sounded like he was pleading.
Pleading Luo Yunyang not to annihilate them.
Luo Yunyang glanced at the Yun Family Patriarch and said dully, “Get the Three-Eyed Stone Being to talk to me.”
As the leader of the Ancient Six Families, the Yun Family Patriarch despised Luo Yunyang and the other Sacred Hall Masters of the Human Race, as he thought they were just average at best. However, Luo Yunyang had actually come and said these words.
It was impossible to say that he wasn’t angry, but Luo Yunyang’s words had somewhat liberated him.
Luo Yunyang’s cultivation had surpassed his by far. So much so that he was extremely afraid to question Luo Yunyang.
Hence, what he wanted most now was to avoid confronting Luo Yunyang directly.
“Your Majesty, since you have asked for me, I’ll come over and talk to you.” While speaking in a calm and stiff voice, the Three-Eyed Stone Being appeared in the void.
Although the Three-Eyed Stone Man was extremely calm, the entire Ancestral Mountain seemed to have become one with him the moment he’d appeared. An invisible pressure also made all the disciples of the Ancient Six Families feel like they had witnessed the arrival of a god.
It could be said that all of the powerhouses of the Ancient Six Families had the same thought. They had at first been frightened out of their wits when Luo Yunyang had arrived, but their fear had disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Luo Yunyang stared at the Three-Eyed Stone Being in silence before the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. This smile was rather strange and even caused a crack to appear on the body of the Three-Eyed Stone Being.
The crack was not too big, but the moment it formed, a crack also appeared on the massive Ancestral Mountain.
The Yun Family Patriarch and the other powerhouses felt frightened once again. While some of them might not be afraid of death, what Luo Yunyang had done now was simply too terrifying.
Was this the power of Luo Yunyang?
“Your Majesty, the Ancient Six Families have no intention of continuing the dispute with the Human Race after leaving the 36 Great Cosmoses. Are you really going to exterminate our Ancient Six Families now that you have come?” The Three-Eyed Stone Being spoke again, but his words were a lot more complicated this time, as he did not get straight to the point.
A hint of fear could be seen in the Si Family Patriarch’s eyes. He clearly knew what making such a decision meant for the Three-Eyed Stone Being.
Although he did not say he was surrendering, the Ancient Six Families had, in fact, begun to beg Luo Yunyang for mercy!
One would only say such words if one felt inferior to the opponent. But how long had it taken Luo Yunyang to achieve such terrifying prowess?
“Ha ha! Are you quitting?” Luo Yunyang looked at the Three-Eyed Stone Being and said casually, “Your people clearly know what all of you have done for the Human Race during these countless Great Eras. I am not going to say anything to you this time. I just want to accomplish one thing, and that is to smash certain things that should never have existed into ashes again.”
Luo Yunyang said this indifferently, but there was unquestionable arrogance in his casual words.
The Three-Eyed Stone Being almost went crazy when he heard Luo Yunyang’s words. “Human Ruler, do you really think that our Ancient Six Families have no means to stop you? I’m not afraid to tell you that the Ancient Six Families must have their own capabilities since they have survived so far. You will be suffering in the end if you really want to go all out against us. Human Ruler, we just don’t want to pay the price to do so.”
Luo Yunyang eyed the Three-Eyed Stone Being and said, “I know what you said is true, but I will still annihilate you all.”
“Annihilate your so-called secret backers. Annihilate everyone who is a part of the Human Race but has always plotted against their own race! I have been pissed with you guys for a long time!”
After saying that, Luo Yunyang turned to look at the Sky Spirit Monarch, who was already itching to make a move. The Sky Spirit Monarch rose up in the air and cleaved heavily in the direction of the Ancestral Mountain with his sword.
The Three-Eyed Stone Being sat high above the Ancient Ancestor Mountain. He had the chance to stop the Sky Spirit Monarch when the sword moved but was too frightened by the sword-light so he did not try to stop it.
The sword-light landed on the Ancestral Mountain, splitting it in two.
The moment the Ancestral Mountain was cut in two, a completely black portrait rose up to the sky.
There were countless ferocious beasts and evil demons in the black portrait. In the middle of it sat a man who wore a crown as he overlooked everything below him.
Although he was in the portrait, his eyes were staring coldly at Luo Yunyang and the vast realm.
The Yun Family Patriarch could not believe it when he saw the portrait. His voice became extremely horrified as he cried out, “Ancient Ancestor!”
Just as his words left his mouth, five more portraits rose from the Ancestral Mountain almost at the same time.
