The number of humans still living within the Four Great Heavens is not insignificant.

They mostly lead miserable lives; even if occasionally one or two extraordinary young heavenly geniuses appear, they can hardly stir significant waves. They don't even dare to openly clash with the Heavenly People.

Because once conflict arises, the outcome is singular: dying themselves, and implicating their relatives and friends to die together.

The seemingly peaceful Heavenly People Clan shows no mercy in their blows against humans. Though those who love peace would certainly not commit such acts, there are Heavenly People willing to do such things.

After the Demon Lord led a group of Human Clan cultivators into the border world of the Immeasurable Heaven, without venturing too far, they witnessed a scene that made their eyes burn with rage.

What should have been a small town.

A very ordinary human small town.

In the town, some houses still standing were emitting spiraling smoke.

If not for the overwhelming smell of blood, this would have been a very ordinary and tranquil... paradise-like place.

The people living here should have led quiet, peaceful lives. Perhaps impoverished, perhaps with various troubles, but they were uncompetitive with the world and should have been happy.

But now, what the Demon Lord and his companions saw... were headless corpses.

Judging by these corpses, the highest cultivation level was not even in the Emperor Realm.

The lowest cultivation level... was only Foundation Establishment!

Foundation Establishment!

In the eyes of the Demon Lord and his companions now, such a level is simply that of an ordinary person; akin to secular mortals, just like that.

Yet those people actually did not spare even these ordinary individuals, moreover, they committed even more brutal acts!

Among those corpses, some were very small children, seemingly only two or three years old, and some women were stripped of their clothes, decapitated, and even... some women's chests... were cut off.

In the pool of blood lay the elderly, adults in their prime... the entire town didn't seem to have a single person spared.

They suffered a massacrous slaughter devoid of humanity...

Everyone who saw this scene fell silent.

No one spoke, the atmosphere was oppressively suffocating.

Even though they were already at the ancestral realm level, the sight still made it hard for them to contain their indignation. Their fury was almost exploding, entirely uncontrollable.

After a long while, the Demon Lord waved his hand, and the whole town disappeared.

In the next moment, a large tomb covered the entire town.

Then, the Demon Lord slightly lowered his head and softly said: "I'm sorry, although you may have never known, the root of this matter started because of us. We are resisting against the Heavenly People Clan, trying to fight for the rightful power of the Human Clan. But we didn't foresee that you would meet such a tragic fate. Rest assured, we will avenge you."

As the Demon Lord spoke, he solemnly bowed toward the large tomb.

Then, the over two thousand ancestral realm cultivators of the Human Clan behind him also bowed toward the large tomb.

Their hearts were filled with grief and anger.

This is the treatment of the Human Clan in the Four Great Heavens!

For countless ages, the Human Clan in the Four Great Heavens have never truly been regarded as intelligent beings. Even the treatment of the Human Clan is worse than many Beast Clans!

The Human Clan has always been viewed as the lowest, dirtiest, most evil beings.

So, in this ordinary small town, even if the encounter of these common people were heard by the most sympathetic Heavenly People, they wouldn't feel much. They might frown and say, "It's a bit excessive, isn't it? Why be so cruel? It's fine to just cut off their heads, don't let them die too painfully. Disgracing the corpses of the deceased, that's not good."

Well, that's about it.

The Demon Lord and his companions did not previously know of this situation, and still don't now.

Yu Hong, who understood what the Heavenly People Clan were like, hadn't talked about it with the Demon Lord and his companions.

Because this time, the Human Clan army from the Pangu World came here to seize resources, not to go to war with the Immeasurable Heaven.

In hindsight, though Chu Mo now has enough confidence to clash directly with the Four Great Heavens, in reality, if we talk about true strength, the entire Pangu World likely has a huge gap compared to any one of the Great Heavens in the Four Heavenly Realms.

So, in the case of a frontal battle, the Human Clan of the Pangu World would simply have no chance of winning.

But the issue is, both Chu Mo and the Demon Lord understand this fact. They would never go into a frontal clash with the Four Great Heavens.

Just like now, the Demon Lord is almost enraged, yet wouldn't think of using just their group to horizontally push across the entire Immeasurable Heaven.

Nevertheless, the revenge must still be exacted.

"The time of their death will not exceed three days. Keep searching!" The Demon Lord glanced at the cultivators in his camp who were skilled in divination: "Find the clues and attack directly!"

Among this group of human cultivators, there were indeed all kinds of strong individuals. Those skilled in divination were aplenty. So, soon someone pointed out a direction.

Without a word, the Demon Lord led his people in a direct attack.

Jinxiu Village, a small and ordinary village located at the borders of the Immeasurable Heaven.

The population of this small village, at most, was just over 300 people.

In the vast limitless world of the Immeasurable Heaven, such a small village was almost the most insignificant little place.

However, this small village produced a truly grand master.

His name was Li Zhi, and many of his childhood friends called him "Inspiration" because his growth story was simply inspirational.

Li Zhi was frail and sickly since childhood, his body very weak. His parents expended a lot of money, manpower, material resources, and endless effort to raise him. Yet at the age of eight, Li Zhi fell seriously ill, the kind that endangered his life.

At that time, his parents were already helpless. Although their hearts were filled with pain and sorrow, they were prepared to give up.

It was then that an old Taoist priest appeared. The old priest happened to pass by the village, and upon seeing this situation, felt compassion, so he gave Li Zhi an elixir. It pulled Li Zhi back from the brink of death.

However, the old priest told Li Zhi's parents that the child, aside from having to cultivate, must cultivate to beyond the Supreme Realm to completely eradicate the ailment in his body. Otherwise, he wouldn't live past twenty.

That is to say, the already eight-year-old Li Zhi had to, within twelve years, cultivate from knowing nothing to the Supreme Realm!

Supreme!

The strongest person in the entire village had never even heard of this realm.

To require a child to cultivate to such a realm within twelve years was simply nonsense, wholly unrealistic.

The old priest left behind a Foundation Establishment elixir, some cultivation resources, and techniques, then left quietly. In the world of Immeasurable Heaven, there were too many pitiful Human Clan members, and he was just a Great Saint cultivator, unable to take care of everything.

At that time, almost no one in the village believed Li Zhi could succeed. For he was not the kind of exceptionally talented cultivation seedling. This fact, the old priest had frankly stated back then.

So, no one favored Li Zhi. An eight-year-old child, at the age meant for playing in the mud, what could he understand about cultivation?

But no one expected that because the child was frail and sickly from an early age, his mind was much more mature than other children. The things the old priest said to his parents were not hidden from him, and he understood all of it. After the old priest left, Li Zhi practiced hard in the winter cold and in the summer heat.

There was almost never a time of rest, even his parents sometimes couldn't bear watching and couldn't help but persuade him to take a break.

But Li Zhi said, "I cannot die; I must live; I must become strong, like my master. When I grow up, I will protect my parents and everyone in the village!"

These were the simplest and purest thoughts of a small child. And it was precisely these thoughts that supported Li Zhi all along his path.

In the initial years, Li Zhi's strength improved very slowly; even reaching Foundation Establishment took him three years!

And this, even with the abundance of cultivation resources left by the old priest, was when he completed it. In his fourth year, it was as if Li Zhi suddenly had an epiphany. He took two years to, by the age of fourteen, already reach the Mahayana period.

But by then, to the twenty-year deadline set by the old priest, there were only six years left.

Six years, to go from Mahayana, to Great Heavenly Immortal, then to Heavenly Immortal, true immortal, Emperor... finally to Supreme Realm, even with the genius of cultivation from a great sect, they might not easily accomplish it.

And at that time, Li Zhi at Mahayana period was already the strongest person in the village. From then on, he started going out hunting and participating in the task of defending the village. In Jinxiu Village, he was a legendary figure.

Moreover, under his leadership, all the children in the village began learning cultivation.

Eventually, adults from several surrounding villages came admiringly, sending their children to Jinxiu Village to learn cultivation from Li Zhi.

Li Zhi by then did not have high hopes that he could reach the Supreme Realm by the age of twenty. He began to put his full effort into training those children, wanting to leave something behind for his family and villagers before he died.

But things in the world are miraculous; often, the more you desire something, the less likely you are to obtain it. When you let it go, want nothing or ask for nothing, those things... might just come to you on their own.

And so, by the age of eighteen, Li Zhi astonishingly had already reached the Emperor realm!

In such a realm, across the entire Jinxiu Village and even within a million li radius, he was already the true top expert!

He was also the most proud person within the Human Clan of that million li range.

At this point, Li Zhi was completely different from before, he wanted to turn this million li borderland of the Immeasurable Heaven into a true human sanctuary. Into a... beautiful land!

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

By the age of twenty, the old priest, on a whim, returned here only to be astonished. The feeble and sickly child he had no hope for had now grown into a true Supreme!
