Chapter 368: The Female Celestial Emperor’s Cenotaph Emerges!
["Hey look, isn't our Blazing Star's sky looking a bit reddish?"]
["Yeah, yeah!"]
["Legend has it that this female Celestial Emperor, Tianhuo Xuan Nu, her hometown is right here on Blazing Star! After she passed away naturally, she naturally returned to her homeland for a peaceful burial. But the Celestial Emperor's power was too strong! Even though she's been dead for endless ages, the strength naturally emanating from her corpse still influences this planet. Tianhuo Xuan Nu - just from hearing that name, you know the Dao she cultivated was related to fire. So our planet appears reddish."]
["So amazing..."]
["Of course it is! Broadening your horizons, huh? Hah, clueless humans!"]
["By the way, what race did this Tianhuo Xuan Nu belong to?"]
["Human."]
[The conversation ended in awkwardness.]
[Actually, there was another question you wanted to ask them - since the Celestial Emperor was so powerful, why didn't she truly become an immortal and achieve eternal life?]
[Probably even if you asked, they wouldn't know.]
[Tianhuo Xuan Nu's cenotaph wasn't far from here. You walked a bit in that direction.]
[You hadn't gone far when the 「Treasure-Sniffing Nose」 reacted.]
[In the Void Realm, Immortal Artifacts could make the 「Treasure-Sniffing Nose」 judge them as treasures, but Void Realm Immortal Artifacts were merely high-grade magical artifacts in the Real Realm - not so common as to be on every street corner, but not exactly rare either.]
[So the 「Treasure-Sniffing Nose」 no longer judged them as Supreme Treasures.]
[The trait tag adapted to the environment; the level of Supreme Treasures the 「Treasure-Sniffing Nose」 could sniff in the Real Realm naturally increased dramatically.]
[Back at the Tiansha Sect, the 「Treasure-Sniffing Nose」 hadn't reacted at all.]
[And that was one of the top three sects on Blazing Star! Surely they had some sect-protecting treasures, right?]
[Now, the female Celestial Emperor's cenotaph was emanating the scent of a Supreme Treasure! That was definitely a rare treasure of the world!]
["I have to go! Note the time and place - even if I can't get it this time, I can come early next time and claim it, hahaha!"]
[This was what you loved most about the 「Simulator」.]
[You rode the Yellow Thunder Bird, heading toward the direction the Supreme Treasure's scent came from.]
[As you approached the female Celestial Emperor's cenotaph, you saw two groups of people moving in opposite directions.]
[One group were cultivators, their eyes filled with desire and pursuit as they moved closer to the cenotaph.]
[Most of them had no means of flight - they either rode horses or exotic beasts on the ground, or leaped wildly across the treetops.]
[The other group were ordinary people, mostly humans who had fled from towns near the cenotaph, running madly away from it.]
[Their expressions were panicked, dragging their families along.]
[Looking up, in the direction they were fleeing from, dark clouds blotted out the sun, thousands of bolts of lightning flashed, and pillars of fire shot into the sky from time to time, only to be buried in mountains of ice in an instant.]
[Spells and killing moves were clashing.]
[Countless divine marks converged in the air.]
[That was the top cultivators of Blazing Star, battling fiercely over the treasures within the cenotaph.]
[The power they unleashed - even the faint remnants that leaked out - was deadly to mortals.]
[Of course, the mortals had to run.]
[No one knew how many had already been killed by the fallout; the ones who could make it here were those who had been far away from the start.]
[The two groups converged in this area. Many cultivators ignored the mortals entirely, directly trampling over them with their mounts, crushing many into bloody pulp.]
[Seeing this scene, an indescribable rage rose in your heart.]
[You thought of the cultivators in the human world who fought bloody battles against the Alien Races to protect their homeland, advancing wave after wave, willing to sacrifice everything.]
[Yet here in the Real Realm, cultivators treated mortals like ants, trampling them casually.]
[Comparing the two was truly mind-boggling.]
[You leaped down from the Yellow Thunder Bird.]
["Boom!!"]
[Your iron fist, specially effective against alien races, slammed heavily into a Green Skin cultivator.]
[The Green Skin race looked similar to humans, but their skin was dark green, covered in a thick layer of horny substance. They were also about twice the height of humans, with extremely developed muscles, looking like a bunch of bodybuilders.]
[This Green Skin was riding a five-meter-tall Great Fat Pig mount and was about to trample a group of human refugees.]
[You punched him flying, then stomped hard on the Great Fat Pig's head, making it brake on the spot and die instantly from brain death.]
[Standing on the Great Fat Pig, you tossed a low-grade blade-shaped magical artifact to the refugees.]
["This pig is yours - carve it up and eat it!"]
[Although the humans on Blazing Star weren't reduced to slavery like on Fortune Star, they were still at the bottom of society and normally never had a chance to eat meat.]
[The refugees were both shocked and delighted, kneeling directly to kowtow.]
["Thank you, great hero! Thank you, great hero!"]
[You let out a sharp shout.]
["Don't kneel! You don't need to kneel to anyone!"]
[Your old occupational hazard from being the Rebel Army leader on Fortune Star had flared up again.]
[Just then, the Green Skin you had punched stood up.]
["Bastard! Who do you think you are?! Hitting me, All-Knowing! And giving away my mount as meat?! You're asking for death!"]
[All-Knowing?]
[That definitely wasn't a name; it was a street nickname.]
[Anyone who dared call themselves that was probably like the "All-Knowing Sage" - someone who knew a thing or two about everything.]
[The corner of your mouth curled up slightly as you pondered something.]
[All-Knowing pulled out a spiked club magical artifact and unleashed a killing move, charging at you.]
[Your current surface realm was Third Rotation of Qi Transformation. Although you didn't have Divine Sense, you had its nascent form, sensing qi, so you could tell All-Knowing's cultivation level was around Seventh Rotation of Qi Transformation.]
[You didn't even need the power of the trait tags to toy with him at your fingertips.]
[All-Knowing was a Green Skin, and this race's talent was their immense strength.]
[You casually copied his talent.]
[Green Skin Talent - Innate Divine Strength: Green Skins are born with developed muscles, able to lift ten times their own body weight. Through training or cultivation, this strength also increases.]
[With your true realm elevated to late-stage Qi Transformation, 「Calamity of Ten Thousand Races」 could now carry up to ten alien race talents at once!]
[On Blazing Star, you could come into contact with plenty of alien races. A single touch would get you their talent.]
[One extra talent was like one extra trait tag, just with varying effectiveness.]
[This Green Skin's talent was one you were getting for the first time.]
[You quite liked it, because it meant you could stack even more strength!]
["Boom!!"]
[Another punch!]
[This time, you knocked out eight of All-Knowing's teeth and sent him flying dozens of zhang away, only stopping after breaking through more than a dozen trees.]
["H-how come this human seems even stronger?"]
[All-Knowing had underestimated you upon seeing you were human, but now he realized he'd kicked a metal plate.]
[He decisively tried to flee.]
["Smack!!"]
[You stepped on the 「Seven Divine Starry Steps」 at the Return to Simplicity realm, chasing him down like a swift meteor and stomping him underfoot.]
["Spare me, senior! All-Knowing failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended you! Please, for the sake of you being human, let me go!"]
[This kind of begging vocabulary was completely mind-boggling.]
[What did "for the sake of you being human" even mean? Didn't people usually say "for the sake of someone"?]
