Chapter 216
The Heavenly Void Mystic Realm, the Nova Clan Council Hall.
Representatives from almost every major clan were present.
The Demon Race’s invasion and slaughter of their chosen geniuses was an event of unprecedented magnitude, the entire Heavenly Void Mystic Realm was in an uproar.
And the name mentioned just as frequently alongside this event was none other than Adam.
John’s desperate shout before dying had made Adam’s deeds and the information regarding the Innate Dao Body known to the entire Heavenly Void Mystic Realm.
Born in the Mysterious Yellow Great World, first, he killed Stone of the Ancient Ash Clan.
Then, he killed Dao Child John of the Nova Imperial Clan, possessor of the Double-Pupil Holy Body.
Finally, he defeated Dao Child Soren, possessor of the Dao Body Holy Fetus.
As if that were not enough, Adam had also used a sword to cleave apart a monster at the Sixth Heaven of the Deity Realm, although he had the assistance of an formation and that divine sword, it was still terrifying enough to shock the world.
Furthermore, right before escaping, he instantly killed the resurrected John with a single strike, then he successfully fled right under the nose of an Eighth Heaven Deity from the Nova Clan, leaving them with nothing but a raised middle finger.
If this battle record were written in a novel, the author would be accused of writing unbelievable fiction, yet it was absolute reality.
This youth named Adam was genuinely terrifying.
Some were already hailing Adam as the undisputed number one of the younger generation, however, there was pushback, some claimed Soren had merely been in a friendly spar and had not used his full strength, but not many agreed, simply because the phenomenon Adam caused in the Deity Reincarnation Pool was far too monstrous.
A sky full of infinite ripples, on that point alone, Soren could not compare.
However, there was another point of intense discussion, the Innate Dao Body that Adam was allegedly hiding, many claimed it was absolutely stronger than Adam, because no one had seen the Innate Dao Body in action, this theory garnered significant believers.
Although the Nova Clan had issued a massive bounty for Adam’s location and life, the vast majority in the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm actually held a favorable opinion of him, after all, he had killed that damned Demon.
Another reason was that with their young geniuses severely withered, the younger generation desperately needed a figurehead, a symbol to anchor their beliefs upon, naturally, Adam had become that person.
Of course, they would not meddle in the grudge between the Nova Clan and Adam, but when the Nova Clan called for a grand council, they naturally attended.
"We demand an explanation from your Heavenly Court!" In the inner study, Damion, accompanied by representatives of several major clans, glared furiously at an old man possessing a sagacious, immortal bearing.
"Patriarch Damion, and fellow Patriarchs, I know you are all angry and deeply grieved, I admit that guarding against the Demon Race is the responsibility of my Heavenly Court."
"However, the Demon Race is exceedingly cunning, even if we keep watch day and night, oversights are inevitable!" An old man with silver hair, wearing Daoist robes and holding a horsetail whisk, smiled amiably as he tried to deflect blame.
"Since the incident has already occurred, my Heavenly Court also feels profound grief! But grief cannot change the facts. Moving forward, we should..."
The veins on the foreheads of Damion and the others bulged violently, they knew the Heavenly Court would send this thick-skinned old fox to negotiate.
"Enough, Taibai Jinxing, spare us the nonsense, give me a straight answer, how does the Heavenly Court intend to compensate us?"
"If we do not receive a satisfactory answer, we will broadcast the Heavenly Court’s abandonment of duty to the entire world!" With the myriad clans backing him, Damion had the confidence to stand firm.
Taibai Jinxing’s graying eyebrows twitched slightly. "What is Patriarch Damion saying? Was it my Heavenly Court that killed your people? If we could, we would also have wished for this tragedy to never occur, but since it has happened, what use are compensations?"
Damion and the others clenched their fists, on the verge of erupting in fury.
But Taibai Jinxing continued. "However, my Heavenly Court is not unfeeling or unjust, we have prepared items to ensure your crusade against the Demon Race proceeds much more smoothly!"
His words caused the crowd’s anger to dissipate slightly.
"What kind of gift?" Damion asked indifferently.
"Furthermore, apart from compensating us, your Heavenly Court must dispatch troops to crusade against the Demon Race alongside us! The Demon Race is about to declare war, this is a great catastrophe."
"Does your Heavenly Court intend to just stand by? Suppressing the Demon Race is what you are supposed to do."
"Rest assured, Patriarch Damion, my Heavenly Court naturally knows this, the Demon Race wants to destroy the world, we will not sit idly by."
"The Heavenly Court is already preparing a grand army to deal with this disaster!"
Taibai Jinxing smiled and nodded. "My Heavenly Court is giving your Heavenly Void Mystic Realm a grand gift, you will definitely like it!"
"We are preparing to lift the Heaven and Earth Shackles, allowing your Heavenly Void Mystic Realm to enter the Mysterious Yellow Great World ahead of time to compete for opportunities!"
Everyone was startled, and then their eyes suddenly lit up.
In the past, it was always during the later stages of the Heaven and Earth Upheaval that the Heavenly Court lifted the Shackles, allowing the major clans to descend.
But by then, the best opportunities would have been snatched up by inhabitants of the Mysterious Yellow Great World, what remained were only opportunities that were either extremely dangerous or exceedingly difficult to obtain.
Now, with the Upheaval just beginning and the Human Race in the Mysterious Yellow Great World yet to truly rise, vast swathes of resources would be waiting for them.
