My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 672 – Ashes

Li Changshou walked beside the army and looked at the overlapping figures. He could not bear to see them.

Behind him, Heng'e searched the crowd in confusion, looking for the missing part of her Dao heart.

Suiren, who was walking at the front of the army, trembled like a candle that was about to be extinguished. However, he stood proudly in the wind.

The sound of the horn stopped. The seemingly endless Cosmic Tunnel extended infinitely under Suiren's feet. There were only uniform footsteps and the sound of wheels rolling.

It must have been many years.

“Leader, we can't find anything to eat here. We can't hold on much longer.”

“How much longer can you last?”

“Six, seven, at most seven meals. It will take seven days to reach the next cave. If we don't move now, we might starve to death here.”

“Don't be anxious. The demon army has yet to retreat. I'll think of a way to obtain more food.”

The hunched figure sat cross-legged in the damp cave and looked at the wood and wooden rod in front of him. He lowered his head and slowly rubbed them.

At that time, he always wondered when the days of hiding would end.

“That's the only way.”

The old man looked at the monolith inscriptions illuminated by the torch in his hand and raised his hand to touch the lines of words on the monolith inscriptions.

“Leader, let us do it.”

“I'm the strongest and have the highest cultivation level in the race. Only I can resist the invasion of the Fiend Ancestor's remnant soul…”

The old man said softly, his eyes filled with determination.

“Leader, this is too dangerous. If you can't stand it!”

“Then kill me and turn my corpse into spiritual energy to nurture the next leader.”

The huge hand pressed on the stone tablet and crushed it. His body was engulfed by the black light, but his eyes remained firm and unyielding.

It was just demonic flames.

In the sky, the endless demon army enveloped the entire sky.

On the ground, countless men, women, and children holding weapons stood quietly. Their anger was about to soar to the sky.

At the front, at the front.

There were 30,000 figures wrapped in black aura. They devoured endless light and burned with hot red flames. Their fervent gazes were focused on the old figure at the front.

Children…

Leave your lives to me and leave your beliefs to the future generations.

Demonic aura enters my soul and blood stains the Demon Weapon.

The sky belongs to the demons, and the ground belongs to the Magi. The human race only has companions, and only you and I are left. We are going forward so that our children don't have to hide and let our descendants stand upright on this land and look at the sky!

Torch Flame!

Torch Flame…

“Yes, where's the sword?”

In the flame tunnel that the universe had collapsed, the old man at the front raised his hand to touch his empty waist. Then, he thought of something.

In front of him, waves appeared in the Chaos Sea. The memories in the old man's eyes gradually retreated.

Suddenly, he heard thunder. Boundless lightning surged over and was easily shattered by the flames that surged out in front of the old man.

Another wind of destruction blew from all directions. The old man raised his hand and drew a simple and mysterious symbol. The wind stopped and returned to silence.

Behind him, countless heroic spirits advanced in silence. A weak flame burned on their foreheads, making them fearless of the tearing of the Chaos aura and the compression of the universe.

Their gazes were still firm, just like the moment they faced death.

Wisps of Dao runes that could cause mental demons filled the various parts of the path, but they could not move the spirits at all.

They lived for their only belief.

They only had their last spirit and obsession left.

It was just like the old man in front of him lying at the bottom of the lake and looking at the sky. They were constantly looking at the back of the old man, waiting for him to raise his arm and call out, waiting for him to point to somewhere.

On the war chariot, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was in the middle of deployment. With a thought, the battle formation kept changing.

The Purple Cloud Palace was in front.

They would have to face the strongest will in the world.

What they wanted was to shout as the human race should!

It did not matter if they were sacrificed or not. They were already the ancient people in the books.

Suiren did not stop. He kept blocking the attacks that appeared in the tunnel, using flames to resist the endless pressure outside the tunnel.

Li Changshou's eyes were filled with uneasiness. In a flash, he appeared in front of the army and quickly caught up to Suiren.

“Senior…”

“There's no need to say. I roughly know.” Suiren smiled warmly. “You have your difficulties. I'm already very gratified that you can speak up for the human race. Since the Human Emperor has become the Human Emperor, he is the backbone of the human race. The Heavenly Dao is unreasonable and suppressed. It was as if it had slaughtered the human race. My race has never owed the Heavenly Dao. Why should we be insulted? However, you have to remember to protect yourself no matter what happens later. Also, the Dao Ancestor cannot be trusted easily.”

Li Changshou clenched his fists slightly and boldly reached out to support Suiren's arm. Wisps of information were quickly transmitted.

That was what he was thinking. It was also part of his schemes and schemes regarding the human race.

Suiren frowned and turned to look at Li Changshou.

However, he continued forward and suddenly chuckled. Then, he patted Li Changshou's shoulder.

“You're good. Go and do it. Remember not to attack today. Follow your plan. Us old people will go first.”

“Senior, I feel guilty.”

“Don't be naggy. The human race doesn't need these. Go. The path behind is still left to you people.”

Suiren's arm struggled free from Li Changshou's support.

Behind him, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan pointed out a white cloud. Li Changshou lowered his head and sighed. He stepped onto the cloud and landed on the carriage of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan with Heng'e behind him.

The legendary emperor, who led the three armies, turned to look at Li Changshou with a smile. Then, he continued to look at the palace at the end of the tunnel.

“Senior is going all out again.”

Li Changshou remained silent and closed his eyes to calm his mind.

Heavenly Courts, Lingxiao Hall.

The White-Robed Jade Emperor sat quietly on the throne. He was dressed in golden armor and holding the Heavenly Emperor's sword. There were a hundred orthodox gods standing quietly below.

A treasure seal rotated gently in front of the Jade Emperor. It emitted endless heavenly might. A painting was projected below the treasure seal. It was the heroic army of the human race walking through the endless tunnel and heading towards the Purple Cloud Palace.

Below, the righteous gods remained silent. At that moment, they could only remain silent.

General Dongmu looked at those figures with a complicated gaze…

Once upon a time, he was one of them. However, he was lucky enough to survive and was placed in the Heavenly Courts by a Saint.

Ah, he was no longer as hot-blooded as before. However, the bloodline of the human race still flowed in his body.

“Your Majesty.” A righteous god said in a low voice, “The Heavenly Dao has summoned the Heavenly Soldiers to protect the Purple Cloud Palace. If we don't move now, we might cause a misunderstanding…”

“Your Majesty!”

General Dongmu bent his legs and knelt down. He shouted firmly, “The Heavenly Courts' Heavenly rules use the authority bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to establish the order of the Three Realms and protect the world and living beings! There is no such thing as protecting the Purple Cloud Palace!”

The ministers were shocked.

General Dongmu closed his eyes tightly. His body kept trembling, and his Dao heart was twisted.

I… I don't want to live anymore!

Bang!

The Jade Emperor held the sword in his hand in front of him and said calmly, “Wait for the Dao Ancestor's decree.”

The gods continued to remain silent. The general who had spoken previously lowered his head and knelt down. His body did not move.

The Queen Mother looked at the Jade Emperor's face and smiled warmly.

At the Saint's Dao venue, in the Jade Void Palace and the Green Touring Palace, streams of light flew over. The disciples of the two sects gathered, but they were told the same thing by their teachers.

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, “Don't act rashly.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven said, “Don't be agitated. This is the karma between the human race and the Heavenly Dao. It's useless for you to attack.”

In the Goddess's Palace, Saint Nuwa sat in the hall and leaned against her throne. She placed her fingers on her smooth forehead and looked a little anxious.

In the Dragon Palace, in the sea eye, the old dragons looked up at the calm sky that seemed to have happened. They stared at the shadows that defied the heavens and ascended. Their gazes were mostly complicated.

Cosmic Tunnel.

The path ahead suddenly became empty. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals that should have appeared there did not appear.

The Jade Emperor…

Li Changshou thanked him in his heart. Emperor Huang Xuanyuan suddenly raised his Xuanyuan Sword!

Roar!

The low roars of countless heroic spirits were like the low cries of ancient ferocious beasts.

Suiren raised his trembling fingers and drew another word. A flame spread out and chased away the Chaos aura.

The fire had the momentum of burning the plains. It actually swept the Purple Cloud Palace, which seemed to be in the distance, into the place enveloped by flames.

He could not tell if it was Suiren who pulled the Purple Cloud Palace closer or sent them in front of it.

Boundless land spread out from under his feet. The Chaos aura retreated like a tide. A low “sky” appeared above his head. He stood between the sky and the ground.

Suiren did not stop and approached the Purple Cloud Palace.

“Ah…”

With a soft sigh, a ten-feet-wide meditation cushion appeared first. Then, streams of light surrounded it. The burly old Daoist priest's figure appeared in front of Purple Cloud Palace and frowned at Suiren.

Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun!

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun asked slowly, “Where did the Human Emperor come from today?”

“Heaven Punishing.”

Wisps of black and red flames appeared around Suiren. His withered figure was not weaker when facing the strongest expert in the world.

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun frowned and said in a low voice, “The human race is now the protagonist of the world. As far as the eye can see, the world is filled with the human race. Why is the Human Emperor still unhappy?”

Suiren slowly clenched his fists and said, “Why is the Heavenly Dao bullying the human emperor of my race's junior generation and insulting the Goddess Nuwa of my race?”

The Dao Ancestor was silent.

“When you asked me to give up the Heavenly Emperor position, you once said that the Heavenly Dao is impartial. The destiny of the human race has been formed, so I don't have to worry.When the Heavenly Dao arranged for the Connate mighty figures to reincarnate as the human emperor, you once said that the human race's foundation was insufficient and that it should be filled. What else can you say today? Dao Ancestor, you are the master of living beings. Pass down the cultivation technique and fuse your body with the Heavenly Dao!”

Suiren took a step forward. Flames surged around him. His voice was like hundreds of people shouting in unison. It was rough and heroic!

“Dao Ancestor, are you a Heavenly Dao or a living being!?!”

Hong Jun said calmly, “I'm the Heavenly Dao and a living being.”

Suiren was silent. He stepped forward and pointed the flames at Hong Jun!

“Forget it.” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sighed and said, “Everything is predestined. The Heavenly Dao is deficient, and the human heart is unstable. I only ask you, how should the Human Emperor attack the heavens?”

“Destroy the Purple Clouds and destroy the Heavenly Dao.”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said, “The Heavenly Dao is the convergence of the Dao laws. It is stimulated by the will of the Pangu God. It is formless, colorless, and Daoless. Therefore, it is neither alive nor destroyed. The Heavenly Dao now has selfish desires and obsessions. The root of it came from the human race. Mortals cannot control their selfish desires. Their selfish desires tainted the Great Dao and the Great Dao was beneficial to the Heavenly Dao. However, the Heavenly Dao's obsession is not stable. The Heavenly Dao's selfish desires are not safe.”

However, Suiren said, “I only know that the heavens are unfair, the earth is unfair, and people are crying.”

Bolts of lightning brewed in Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's eyes. Endless lightning transformed into hundreds of lightning dragons that bared their fangs and brandished their claws behind him. The vast heavenly might slowly spread out.

At this moment!

A wisp of Dao runes appeared. Black and white streams of air circulated and enveloped the heroic spirits of the human race.

An old Daoist priest came from the Chaos. His face was haggard, and his body was enveloped in wisps of Dao runes. His eyes were half-closed as he sat on the right side of the human heroic army.

“The Dao of Heaven is beneficial but not harmful.”

Grand Pure One, I…

Two more figures walked over from the Chaos.

The person on the left had his hands behind his back. He was middle-aged and emitted a clear Dao rune. His face was dignified and amiable.

He smiled and said, “Teacher, the Heavenly Dao should be selfless and heartless. That way, it will not be unfair.”

The young Daoist on the right hugged his sword and chuckled. “It's not just the human race who will be worried. Teacher, I'm also a little unconvinced by the Heavenly Dao.”

As he spoke, two figures stood behind him.

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sighed and said, “This matter has nothing to do with the Saint's sect.”

“However, Teacher,” the Grandmaster of Heaven answered. “We all established our sect by teaching the human race. Although we did not do much in the future, we still have a destiny involved. In the face of the Great Tribulation, Teacher, please detect the misfortune of living beings and give the human race a chance.”

Suiren said, “One person should be responsible for the Heavenly Tribulation.”

The universe instantly quietened down. There was no movement or sound of breathing.

Li Changshou lowered his head and frowned. He raised his hand and pulled Heng'e, who was beside him.

Heng'e understood. She knew that the time for her to attack had arrived. However, in the face of such heavenly might and the pressure of such an expert, her heart was rather nervous.

However, the emptiness in his heart, the emptiness that had been brought about by time, surged out.

She took half a step forward and slowly knelt down in front of the Dao Ancestor. She cried uncontrollably.

“Dao Ancestor, please return the puzzle that I lack…”

The Dao Ancestor stared at Li Changshou with anger on his face. Li Changshou only lowered his head and did not say anything. He pretended that he did not notice the Dao Ancestor's gaze.

“Forget it.

Hong Jun closed his eyes and sighed softly. He raised his left hand and waved his sleeve. Heng'e fainted. The Chaos Cosmos suddenly changed.

Countless Great Dao turned into pillars of light and intertwined, weaving a huge net that enveloped the huge egg-shaped Primordial World.

Right above the grid, an old Daoist priest with a blurry face sat quietly and snorted.

Suiren's eyes focused. His expression was ferocious as his body was wrapped in flames and shot into the sky.

The old Daoist priest's blurry face seemed to be sneering. He raised his hand and scattered countless bolts of lightning, instantly enveloping Suiren!

Just as Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was about to point his sword forward, Suiren's low roar spread everywhere.

“Leader, fight first!”

In the sound wave, the demonic flames surged like a lotus flower that was thousands of kilometers in diameter. Endless lightning shattered like glass!

Suiren rushed out of the endless fire lotus. His body was like a supreme sword that pierced through the sky until the Heavenly Dao was conjured by the Dao Ancestor!

This battle…

This battle!

Li Changshou looked up.

He watched as countless Great Dao projections bloomed between Suiren and the Heavenly Dao shadows. He watched the surging demonic aura and endless flames charge through everything and tear everything apart.

For some reason, he felt a little sad.

Suiren's flames became stronger.

Suiren's vitality was gradually withering.

The Heavenly Dao phantom had endless mystical abilities and endless spiritual energy. It raised its hand and created countless streams of light. It opened its hand and controlled the universe.

However, no Dao or Dharma could stop Suiren's thin figure!

The Heavenly Dao phantom was retreating!

It could only retreat!

At that moment, faint light spots flew out of the foreheads of countless humans in the Primordial World. Golden-red flames burned on Suiren's forehead as endless and incalculable figures appeared behind him!

It was a man and woman beside the quagmire where Nuwa was sitting quietly.

It was the old man who lowered his head and dug into the wood to start a fire. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

He was a gentle elder who was sitting by the river and deducing the variables.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a beast robe. He looked at the spiritual herbs by the roadside and picked up a brush to carve a few lines of words on the stone slab. Then, he carefully placed the grass into his mouth.

He was a carefree king who raised his sword and ordered the endless human army to clean up the remnants of the old days.

It was a burly man carrying an ax and running in the torrential flood to fight the dragon!

There were more figures.

They were dressed in beast hide clothes and hunting. They ran on the ground.

They held their weapons and faced the experts of the world, protecting the old and the weak beside them.

They recited the words of the sages loudly and shouted for the suffering of all living beings…

At that moment, they were all in the flames, behind the old man!

The Heavenly Dao phantom snorted coldly. Boundless Chaos surged, and thousands of light pillars smashed over!

Suiren roared softly. The layers of figures behind him were scattered, but they instantly gathered together. They used anger as flames and gathered the will of all living beings just to isolate the selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao!

“Changshou.”

Li Changshou looked up at Emperor Huang Xuanyuan, who was smiling at him.

Emperor Huang Xuanyuan said, “Three things. Firstly, Heaven, Earth, and Man should be balanced. That was what the Primordial World should be like. Secondly, Senior sent a voice transmission to us just now. The Fire Cloud Cave will listen to your arrangements in the future. I don't know what you said to Senior just now, but you undoubtedly did it. Thirdly, in this world, apart from mystical abilities and Dharma treasures, there is also a Great Dao that possesses endless power. That is what the Heavenly Dao is most afraid of. Today, it can only be used on the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. It is more or less a pity. The Heavenly Dao cannot be erased. This is something that we have long known. What we are fighting with Senior now is just a thought of the Heavenly Dao. However, this thought was the source of calamity. The selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao could be considered the original me of the Heavenly Dao. Watch carefully. It's about time.”

Emperor Huang Xuanyuan paused and sighed softly. The Kongtong Seal slowly floated in front of him. He threw the huge sword to the side and made seals with his hands.

On the two war chariots, Fuxi and Shennong's figures jumped up from the carriage. Their bodies turned into two balls of light that were like comets and collided with the densest spot in the void where the flames were.

Suiren raised his hand and covered the sky. Flames burst out from his forehead, and his skin turned golden-red!

Behind Shennong and Fuxi, countless points of light quickly gathered. The two of them turned into two “arrows”.

At this moment!

The heroic spirit army flew up together. Their bodies turned into golden light and condensed into chains. They connected from the arrowhead to Suiren's body!

Man's Lock!

He wanted to lock the sky!

The Three Pure Ones were silent. Dao Ancestor Hong Jun frowned.

Li Changshou clenched his fists and activated his clear Dao heart!

Emperor Huang Xuanyuan lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He supported the Kongtong Seal with both hands and jumped up, throwing it far away!

The Heavenly Dao phantom suddenly broke free from the flames of Suiren's flames and immediately fled towards the Chaos Sea.

In the blink of an eye, a figure came from the Chaos Sea. It was wrapped in five-colored divine light and had a Taiji treasure map above its head. It pushed with its left hand and clenched its right fist. It punched at the Heavenly Dao image!

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School… No!

He was the human Saint Master, Wu Ming!

Light surged. The black and white light of the Taiji Painting dimmed. The Great Daoist Master was sent flying. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, the Heavenly Dao image was repelled by his punch. It was instantly enveloped by flames, plants, and turtle shells!

The Kongtong Treasure Seal let out waves of dragon roars and phoenix cries!

Faint flames appeared on the forehead of the humans in the Three Realms. However, mortals did not notice it. Immortals did not know what was going on.

In the land outside the sky, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had blood in his mouth. His hands quickly formed seals, attracting countless golden light to support the three incomparably huge and endless chains. Finally, he opened his right hand to the Heavenly Dao phantom and clenched it.

This is!

The will of the human race!

Heavenly Chains!

“Suppress!”

Buzz…

This power.

Li Changshou looked up at the Great Dao that was rapidly repairing and tidying up in the void.

He looked at the three shackles that had already transformed into seven-colored petals that dissipated into nothingness. He felt the smoothness and gentleness of the Heavenly Dao's originally uneven sand dune after being smoothed by a huge hand.

It seemed that the private thoughts of the Heavenly Dao had been suppressed.

However, the heroic spirit army behind him did not return. They had already turned into shackles and were imprinted in the Heavenly Dao.

This is the power that the Heavenly Dao fears.

The Dao Ancestor had already disappeared, and the Purple Cloud Palace had returned to peace. The Three Pure Ones had also left.

The carriages around Li Changshou turned into golden sand and scattered with the wind. Only the carriage under his feet remained stable.

Heng'e was led back to the carriage by Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and continued to fall asleep.

Boundless Chaos aura surged over and extinguished a small ball of flames. Li Changshou subconsciously rushed out and rushed to the place where the flames were extinguished with the other streams of light.

He was good at escape techniques and had studied the escape techniques in the Chaos Sea. He had never done anything before. He was filled with Dharma powers and had the Eight-Nine Arcane Art…

He was the first to rush to Suiren's side and support the swaying figure. However, he felt that the figure had a weight that he could not bear.

Li Changshou knelt down and hugged Suiren, who was struggling to breathe. He wanted to inject immortal power, but he realized that he was only holding a mischievous stone and a skeleton.

In his heart, Suiren's voice was intermittent. It was a voice that only they could hear.

“Have… I… helped you?”

“Yes, you helped, you helped…”

Suiren smiled and closed his eyes to sigh softly. His body slowly turned transparent.

The Great Daoist Master, Shennong, and Fuxi landed beside him. They either sighed with their hands behind their backs or lowered their heads in silence.

Suiren subconsciously grabbed the edge of Li Changshou's robe. When he opened his eyes, his eyes shone like before.

“Sorry, junior.”

“Back then, I had already done my best to resist the Demon Emperor. I could not do anything else.”

“If I could think of a better method or have an even better leader to replace me and complete the final human Heavenly Courts, I probably wouldn't have been in such a predicament today.”

“I will also place the future of the human race on your shoulders.”

'You can stand outside the human race and escape the influence of the Heavenly Dao. That is something that old people like us cannot do.”

“It is fine even if you fail in the future. It would be fine even if the fire has been extinguished. It would be lit up again.”

“Don't be afraid. It will be ignited eventually.”

“I won't lose, definitely! I won't lose!”

Li Changshou held his rapidly shriveling arm tightly, as if he had used too much strength. Suiren's figure quietly shattered like a flash of fire, turning into ashes that scattered into the Chaos smoke.

A candle-like flame flew out of the ashes and entered Li Changshou's chest.

The smoke was blurry, and it was unknown who was sighing softly.

The people walking on the ground followed behind the scattered flames and searched for hidden caves…

In the depths of the deep and moist land, a hunched figure rubbed the round piece of wood in his hand…

In front of the ominous monument, the huge hand crushed the shackles on it and attached itself to the darkness…

In front of the Demon Court that was suppressing everything, layers of flames burned and tore apart the sky of the demons.

Those who came later…

The sky belongs to the demons, and the ground belongs to the Magi. However, we can stand on the ground and look at the sky side by side.

His will would not be extinguished.

The Dao of Man is eternal.
